Pltt's Dying Words. Ja.ILt CONTROVERSY h._s from 23. time to time raged as to the

last words uttered by the e-reat statesman as he lay dytne- at Putl_ley. Macaulay, ln his usual dog. matic way, declared that the ,. Oh, my country,. tradition was a mere fable, but be admits that the last words of the KJ"eat Minister were •• broken declamations about the alarming state d public affairs." An irreverent story has it that what Pitt really did say was, •• I think I could eat one of Bellamy•s pies I " Despite Macaulay•s cocksureness. there is, however, cogent evidence that the hadition be dismissed as fabulom is correct. According to Lord Stanhope, whose uncle, the Hon. James H. Stanhope, was in the room when Pitt passed away, and later drew up an account of the statesman's illness, the last words which came from the lips of the dying man were, ..

WHBN SMOKB SAT.S STONS AND IRON I WESTMINSTER ABBEY U. cenerally ..,carded as the most

Tenerable of the maJJ.Y a11cient buildine-a to be found in Eneland. But in one way it ia a sham. In the ho£"e buildin~ the visitor e-azea at ao admirinelY he does not see a stone a hundred yeara old. The outer walla of the AbbeY suffer so terribly from the London air that the re buildib£' process la always coin~r on. Stonework only lourteen years old is already coine- bad. Work done when Queen Vic:toria came to the throne ia 10fter than dried putty several inchea deep.

The trouble, of course, liea in the amoke-in varioWJ aulpha.r adds that smoke carries. They convert the atone into sulphate or lime, and this process expands the atone and breaka it up &'radually into powder. The older atatues in St. Paul'• keep constantly lOBinll' fine-em for the same reason.

Marble suffers terribly. The EIE"iD marbles In the British Museum kept their almoat tr.~.nsparent surface for over two thousand yeara in the sunny cJimate of Greece. Half a century in London ha& civen the marble a dull, putty-like appearance.

Good timber, curiously enouch, atand& City air practically for ever. The R"reat beama in Westminster Hall are as old as the Hall itseU, and atill MGund. la one of the London parks, the ori~rinal oak posta that were preferred to the lUIUal iron raillne-s are still stout, though the iron bands that orig-inally claMped them have disappeared utterly, the air having devoured them so thorouchb that nothinc is left but rust stOLins.

Iron is peculiarly UJJ,tru3tworthy in City air. When tbe e-reat JOOf of Charin~r Cross Station fell in a few years a!lo, it was because the hue-e E"irders had been eaten into by the cloude of smoke from the enR"iDea below. The old Undere-round Railway was proverbial for ita •moky atmosphere, and at one station at least there were iron cirders into which playful travellers uaed to poke their umbrellas six inc:hea deep. Except at the heart they were practically powder.

PISTOLS POR TWO. ENGLISHMEN no loJI2'er •ettle their differences with pistols, thoug-h there wa.s a time, and that not ao lonl'" a.co, w ben peace between quarrelsome parties could only be established by rieht of sword. This is still the case in Germany, where more duels are foue-bt than in any country in the world. Jena and GOttin&'en a~ the cities which take the lead.

It is said that a duel takes place ln the latter every day in the year, and on one occasion twelve combats took place in twenty-four houra. The record for Jena ia twenty-one. Altol'ether the German Empire boaats 4,000 duels a year.

France comes a bad second with 1,000, while Italy on1y runs to about 270. This time-honoured method of aettlinc disputes has been perfected Into a fine art amone the French. Soact time 3.20, as a party of cyclists were retumin&" home after an hilarioua day, two of them quarrelled, whereupon Uley decided upon a duel with awords on their bicycles.

They rode at one another at a furioua pace, but overshot the mark and failed to meet. Wheelin:~r roWJd, they returned to the c:haree, and this time came tO£ether with a terrific: shock. When they were pic::ked up they were &"lad to •hake hands.

Italy had 2,759 duels ia a c:ertaia ten yeallJ. Some 2 400 of these meetines were fou&"ht with sword&, 179 with pis(ols, 90 with :rapien, and one with reTolvers. In 974 c:aeea the insult orieinated in newspaper articles or in public letters, and scorea were purely literary quanel1. More than 700 principals were: insulted by word of mouth. Political disc:uasions led to 559, and relil'ious discll5sions to 29 meetia&"a. Quarrels at the 2amine- table were respon•ible for 189.

In Russia., upedally amonc army ofticen, the most trivial diapu.tea are aettled only with sword or pi.atol. When an oflicer la considered by his con!Rrea slow to take offence, a court or honour. presided over b? his redmental commander, orden him to cha.llenl'e his opponent. If the officer atill refusee to fhrht, he muat leave the umy.

A WREN IN THH HAND IS BETTER THAN A CRANE OUT OF IT.

He was a shrewd. observant man, and be dtd not fatl to notice that his work· men ceased working tbe moment the bell began t6 stri.ke at twelve o'clvck, but they were not so prompt in re~wninJ:' work at one c;~"cl ck., They c;:ame hnsurely up one by one, SQDle minutes after the c;lock had struck. When the duke~ inqmred the~ reason of thLS, the men excused themselves by saying that, wh1le they beard the c:lock well enouii:h when it stzouck twehe, they did not always hear it when it struck only once. The duke thereupon had the dock made to strike thirteen at one o'clock, so that the men c uld no Longer plead this excuse for their ddatoriness.

The Origin of "Valentine's Day.''

Feb. VALENTINE'S DAY has been 14. sadly shorn of pristine glones

since the arrival of Christmas cards, but ,-~ill retains some prestige in the Unite..~ States and among- the American culony in Lundon. T fie cu~tom of sendmg affectionate greet. ings about this season of the year seen5 to have origmated in France, whence it m1grated to Scotl;md, and then to lingland. Anciently the first Sunday in Lent was the date fixed for thts observance, and was called 11 Le jour des valentines. .. Hence our ••Valen. tme's Day"' was really the day when valentines,. or gallants, were ch05en, and has uo connectlon with the third· century martyr, whose feast ha:o bee me cunously as!>OC~ted wttb the festival of lovers.

Braham, the Oreat Tenor. JOHN BRAHAM• the great tenor. flourished before the days of the gram phone,

(ltberwlse Brabam's stngi.ng of his own sone-, ••The Death of ~"'1/elson," which he composed fo'l' tho opera of I M Am~n.a:nts, produced at the Lycewn in 1:81I, wuuld still be popular. He had a marvellous voice, whach ran up into a fabetto, over which he had such perfect control that it was difficult to tell where the natural voice ended and the fabetto beK'an. and he used this vmce tn public more than ~;ixty years. His. sole object ls said to have been money, and he is a.c:cused of deliberately proat1tutif\ir his voice to sensational vulgarities. Once, •hen he entertained the Duke of Sussex ln his own hoUse, Braham sanK' as a true artist. •• \Vhy, Braham, why don't you always 5ing hke that J " asked the duke. .. If I d1d,"' was the reply, •• I should not have the honour of entertalninl' yoUI' Royal Hi&"hness to-wa-ht. D

BAROAINS AT El.E<;TIONS. JN the 2'00d old days the elector could not only obtain

wonderful barllains at election time, bat he was also afforded an opportunity of showio~ his honesty at a remunerative figure. There is, for instance, the story of the candidate who won his election by means of an umbreBa. Sheer absence of mind caused him to leave the ... £'amp" behind at every house at which he called to canv<Uis, and when 1t was returned by the voter ;a sovereign was only a suitable reward for honesty.

The worst of election expenses is that the candidate can never be sure what sort of pie- in a poke he i.s buy1n2'• The Parliament may run its full term, or it may come to an end arter a few months~ Even if it lasts, the game may be decidedly not worth th-e candle. Siz Mountstuart Grant Duff gives a poignant little incident of the weansome stru~r£"le over the Coercion Bill in 1881. •• When thine-.s were at their dullest and deadliest, Stuart Rendel heard a man, as he rolled off his seat in the extremity of weariness, say; 'And to thLnk that I :should have paid .£7,000 for this I'"

Party feeling- ran pretty hie-h in the elections of the 'seven• ties. There were the voters of Norwich, whose deeds and misdeeds led to an election inquiry In '75--and to revelation. One witness stated that there were nearly 5,000 corruphble electors in the constituency, and that even if the official candidate left them alone they would run a candidate of their own at a profit. Party feeline- ran for relief even to red-hot pokers. One a~rent stated that

01 his committee-room had been

attacked, and if he had not had a determined will lt would certainly have been sacked. But he bad a messeng-er to keep up the fire, and had hot pokers ready. He offered them to hts assailants at the top or the stairs, but they would not take them.17

MESSAGES FROM HIS MAJE.STV. THE Kinll's official messages are always signed u George, R.I.,u as the late King used to silln his "Edward, R.I." Queen Victoria's telegrams to her own family were usually signed with the initials •• V.R.I," the full •• Victona" betnK' kept for official messa~res. Wires to his Majesty are simply addressed .. The King, London," or wherever he happens to be.

N othin~r important is ever sent in plain lan2'uae-e by royalty. Cipher is not used when the recipient does not possess the royal key, but these messal,!es are no more important usually than a royal cone-ratulat10n on some event or other. Members of the Royal Family use one particular code when wiring to ea-.h other, and an entirely different one when sending- a dispatch to a Minister or Government official.

His Majesty only wires on very rare occasions directly tobls ambassadors or other hie-h diplomatic offictal!l abroad.

The KID£' has several cipher codes which be uses. A Tel'Y lnl'enious code is the word code. When thus code is used, tverY word stands for another of an entirely d1fferent meanm£, and it is quite impossible to read abort messae-ea sent by th18 means unless the reCIPient h:u the necessary key wtth wh1ch to translate it.

It is more than a mere substitution of one word for another, for an arran2ement of words 1s followed alphabetically, and this ia where the actual secret meaniq of the mesaa2'e hes hidden. This word code is usually used when communicattn2' with any members of the Royal Family. Dispatches to Ministers are wired in the fillure c;:ode.

A Noble Character. ...... 1.

SIR SAMUEL ROMILLY, who was born on 1\larch xst, 1757, wa• a noble character.

He laboured heroically to ameliorate the severity oC the capital punishment code, which then appHed to over 1100 offences; and although his reform was tejected sesslon after tessioa by the peers. he- paved the way for anumd· ment, and won fame throughout Europe. When he was at the zenith of his popularity, his wife died suddenly, and, unable to bear his loss. the brokenhearted man colWllitted suicide three days later. Romilly was Solidto .... General in Grenville's Administration. and his son (afterwards Master of the Rolls) held the same positioll iD Lord John R~n·s. Governmenc.

Tbe cab baring been obstructed by some carts, a soldier c;ame up to the disguised monarch and said, ucomrade, wUl you eive me a liftl'' "Gladly. Jump up quickly, for I am in a hurry."" ..

Indirectly the Eood work done by Benedictine monb. not only for litera. ture but for a_gric;ulturo., ls still recog. nised by Enghsb farmer'S, who preserve the Dal.Pe oi St. Benedict in their rural chronology to mark the latest date fol' !KFW'ing ve-s and beans.

MYSTER.IES OP SLEEP. M ANY curious facts have recently been discovered aboot

sleep. For instance, when we sleep the lower half .of ua wei2'hs more than the upper half. The brain is lie-hter and the lees are heavier. E~perimenta have &hown that if a man e-oes to sleep on a bed suopended exactly at the middle point of his weiJrht his head ~:~rins to tip slowly up, and his feet to R'O down. When he awakes it is to find that biB head is ~rettin~t nearer and nearer the ceilin:~r and his feet nearer the ftoor.

This is due to the fact that when we are asJeep the blood In I the brain :~roes off to other parts ol the body. The moment the brain wakes to life &~~fain it draws the blood back.

So in aleep the brain is lie-hter and the feet are heavier. Cases have been known of lon~-distance cyclists sleeping in the saddle, of infantrymen sleepin~r on the march, of wearied pianists dozing as they &truck the keys. A man maY talk, walk, tdnar, type, solve mathematical problems, and yet be safely in the land of Nod. One of Colerid2'e'• finest poemsu Khubla Khan "-was the work of a aleepine- brain. The famous •• Devil'a Sonata " came as a pleasant 11urprisc to its composer~ Tartini. He found it on the table when be R'Ot up one mornin£". He had written it in the ni.e"ht while asleep.

Our sense of time is stronger when we are asleep than when we are awake. E~periments conducted SQme years ae-o on a number of men and women between the ages of twenty and thirty showed that fifty-nine per cent .. of them were able to wake up in the morninl' at any time they had decided upon the night before. The resolye 5eems to wind up a little clock in the subconscious brain. When the hour has arrived the clock &"ives the alann to the day shift of the brain, aad the eyelids open. And then the nie-ht l!lhift eoes to sleep in turn.

Another curious fact about s1eep is that the farther a part of the body is away from the brain the less soundty it sleeps. A touch on the toe will waken you much more readily than a touch on the 5houlder.

STUDY YOUR. THUMBS. THUMBS are an unerring index to the mind, an indisputable tale-teller. They are a e-uide to the intelliz-ence. Mentally weak persons, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, have thumbs which are underaized, characterleBS, and clin&" cl01ely to the aide of the hand. Prominent, well-deve]oped thumbs are siens of mental and physical 5\remrth.

The :~rreat difference between the hand of an ape and a maa lies in the thumb. In the human hand the thumb can be made to touch any Qf the fin&"en of the same hand. This the ape is unable to do.

The reason why the palms of the hand8: and the soles of the feel are composed of cushions of fat is in order that sudden jerks and violent blowa may be successfully resi5ted, so that no injury is done to the muscles and bones beneath them ..

The nails, similarly, aerve as a protection to the tips of tbe fine-ers. In a 'Person of cood health, the fine-er-naU grows at the rate of about one~sixteenth of an inch a week; but during illness, or after an accident, or in times of mentai depression, the erowth is retarded both in lene'tb and thickness.

There are many peculiar fac\s about the nails. Those on the richt hand crow more rapidly than those on the left. Moreover, the growth varies with the leng-th of the fine-er, and is fasteat in the middle lin~er, nearly equal ia the two on either side of it. and slowest in the thumb.

Children's nail8 £"COW more rapidly than adults'; while the process is slowest in the qed. In the :summer the nails of the average adult are renewed in 116 days; while in the winteJ: a new crop ~annot arrow uader 132 days.

Of late years much importance haS" been attached to the atudy of linger-prints. Every well-equipped s~Qtland Yard detective. and most of the criminal inYestig-ation officers in the local centres, carry one or more magnifyinlf•E"lasses, in readinea for e~amination of the accusinc fin&"er-print. Fine-erprint. neyer c:ha.n~re. The pattem alwaya remains the same.

Swlnburne' s Pet Aversions. Apr. THE pet aversions of Alger-

6.. non Charles Swinburne, the famous p et, were visitors

and intervtewers, an<J the story ha'> often Ut:en told Qf how he rid himself of one enterprising )ourn~list who stopped hun during h1s walk across WLmbledon Common, Ly remarkmg, "I see you are talking, L:ut you IIIU!>t

A low, turned--down collar, a stiff, black, old-fashioned necktie, a soft, black felt hat, a wcll-w rn, cut-away coat, > and trousers lacking length-such was the usual attire of the great poet when he took h1s morning walk ; and be could walk, and swim too.

A story told of Swinlmrne's early days is amusing. Late one evemng he drove up to a certai.n dub \n a cab and, f,,rgetting that he had not dl-o;charged the driver, wa!!; hurrying into the e-.,tal.Jlbhruent, when he was reminded of his Qmissi n by the )ebu in lan~uage nHJre forcible than polite.

The American Civil War. Apr. IT was on April12, 1861, that 1Z. the American Confederates

fired on Fort Sumter, m -charleston Harbour. This attack, which resulted in the capitulation of the garrison after a two-days• bombardment, was the begmning of the Civil War. The enemies of the Union having thus begun hostilities, Lincoln re!.puuded on April I!) by issuing a proclamation which called 75,000 militia. to arms.

Culloden. Apr. THE anniversary ofCulloden 1d. recalls an amusing story con-

ceml.ng the· old Highlander wbo was in charge of the field of the Uattle. Some time ago a party of Southern tourists visited the ht)ltoric field. The old man gave his account of the tight, and was pointing out the various cairns raised tQ the memory of Highlanders who fell in 17~1'i. "There lie the l\fackintoshes, andther~theMacNabs, and the .. e the Macl'hersons:• ..

·============================~· THI! END OF A FEAST IS BETTER THAN THE BI!GINNING OF A QUARREL.

Shakespeare at Home. Apr. THR firSt recorded ~lebra-2.3. tion of Shak~peare's memory

ln bis native placoas distinct from th~ performance of his lllOH popular plar,i by strolling players. was ~ performance af Oth~ilo, given in 1748, by a touring manager named John Ward, the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Si.ddons. for the raisingoffunds to repair Shakespeare's monument in the church. The first Shakespearean commemoration of any orf.anlst:d importance was a •• Jubilee • promoted by David Garrick fn •769- The openIng of a regular theatre in 18017 led to the Tisiting of Stratford by many "'wellgraced... players. ln 1:875 a few Stratford-upon-Avon men,. led by the late Ml'. Charles Edward Flower, formed themselves Into an association for the purpose of building a theatre as a memorial to Shakespeare in his native town. The scheme also included a libra!I for literature connected with tbe poel s 1¥0rk.s, and a picture t:allery for the display of .ut chi-efly mspired by his themes. Th<ll!l theatre was opened in d!77. and t~y it remains the only endowed theatre 1n EnglaruL .. Between the years 187:5 and x!}08 Mr. Charles Flower and his wife, who long survived him. contributed som«~ .£so,ooo to tbe building and endowment of the memorial, and at ber death Mrs.. Flower bequeathed to the association the riverside property ur Avonbank, which adjoins the original Kro~nds of tbo memot"ial bufidings.

Aberoethlaoa. Apr. SOMB of Abernetby"s _Pre-28. scriptions were very comtcal,

although one or two attributed to him are unq~tionably inventions. Even the sgurlou!; stories, however, indicate correctly enough the manner of the man. For example, the announcementof the lrbb servant, .. Sorr, our boy Tim has swallowed a rat J'' And Abemetby-s reply-"' Then tell yOUJ" boy Tim to swallow a cat t•• Many equally amusil12' anecdotes have been authenticated. To a young lady Q;:~ruplaining- of iow spirits he would say, .. Don't come to rue ;: &'O and buy a skipping rope. • •

Once be effected a cure in a Yery practical way. A young lady, with a waist about :zo Inches round, came into his presence and made a lone plaint about a difficultt of breathing, Abernethy, out ofpat1ence with her, angrily shouted. •• Go, miss.. into the next room -onlace ypur stays, and walk a dozen times up and down the apartment ... The story goes that the young lady,

'\errified at the surgenn•s look, did as she was bidden; went i.nto the adjoining room. loosened one or two ligatures of her stays. and •alked up and down the requir«l number of times.

On reappearing. she was asked bow she felt. .. A little better,"' she replied. •• Only a little ~tter J Return. wiss, to the room, unlace the rewainder of your stays, and walk fourteen times up and down. and cvme back to me ... The second comman<l was also faithfully attended to. and the youn~: lady, on returning this time, was able to report tbat she felt JnUCh relie"ed., •• And no wonder,"" remarked Abernethy; ,.for know, miss, ln that diminutive space 7"" cnnfined ob-an<l-tbirty y..-ds of ~: haw could you feel well I ..

• HUOB FBES FOR. DOCTORS.

SOME time ae-o Mr. W. K. Yanderbflt, the American millionaire, requested his physician to accompany him

on a voyag-e. The doctor hesitated. and remarked that his practice was worth .£200 a week. The man of mone7 fiaally ~reed to ~rive him .£2,000 for the six weeks' trip and pay all his other e.~:penses. •

Kin2' Edward's health COl!!lt a hu&:e sum. When, as Prince of Wales, he "W"as aeTiom~l:y ill some years 3.2'0, Dr. William Jenner attended him for four weeks and received -a fee of £10,000. Another £10,000 was oaid to Sir William Gull for his attendance on the Kine- during his serious illness from typhoid, in 1871, while the physicians who attended him durin2' his severe illness in the coronation year received fee:r~ amountin2' to £20,000.

The famous Professor z\cherine, of Moscow. received from the father of the present Emperor of Russia a fee of £1.5,000 for two days' attendance. Sir Morell Mackenzie received £20,000 for a few week.s1 attendance on the late Emperor }l~rederick of Germany; and Queen Victoria's doe- · tors, on account of her last illness, received about .£2,000 each.

The doctor who attended .. Lucky Baldwin/' the millionaire mine owner, presented a bill amountin1r to £'20,000 for professional attendance over a period of twelve years.

Blind Dr. Gale, o! Bristol. was paid the sum of £50,000 for curiD2' the diseased knee of a wealthy ~rentleman. Senator Mae-ee paid Dr. Brownine- the stupendous fee of £200~000-undoubtedb the largest fee on record. The late Shah of Persia paid Dr. Galezowski, of Paris, £5,000 for curine- his son of an affection of the eye. Dr. Frank Billin~ c::laimed .;(;5,000 for seven days' attendance on Marshall Field, the ChicaE'o merchant prince, The doctors who attended the late President McKinley after he was shot at Buffalo presented the United States with bills to the total amount of £8,50<1.

• MOTOR-CAR AS HOTEL.

THE French Chocolate KinK", M. [Menier, owned a wonderful motor-car, which was a small hotel on w;heels. It was divided into two parts, bed-sitting- r-oom, with secret folding beds, and a dressin~r-coom and kitchen, with every poe:sible accessory for toilet and cooking,

It reminded one very much of the thzee-roomed flat on wheels in which M. de Fabreques, the well-known millionaire automobile manufacturer of Marseilles, once went for a nOYel holiday jaunt throue-h Europe.. This travellinl' Oat was a combination automobile and home. It contained two a lee ping .. roo~ru~, which in the daytime could be converted into one larg-e sittin~:-room.

HUMOUR IN CHURCH. A NORTH country minister had, after much troublesome

persua5ion, induced an old woman in his Jtari.sb to go to kirk. By mi8chaoce she wandered into the pew of a certain biE"-wig. The beadle, aeeinir thi8. stepped quietly over. and beckoned to het to tome out. Unfortunately, at the YerY motnent. the harmonium atruck up some musical "tireworks." Whereupon the old woman. evidently unaccustomed to church decorum, witb a deprecatory shake of the head at the omdoua beadle, piped out quite audibly: .. Na, na, my man, it's nae use askin' me; ye mauu l'et some lther body tae dance the day I "

In :a certain parish near the Tweed the "pastor wu so much addicted to the secular game of bowls as to be •omewhat under tbe imputation of neglectinl' hi5 JProper duti<ea for its aake. At a special service, on one occasion, the reverend l:'entleman appeared in the pulpit arrayed for the first time in his M.A. hood. This tickled tbe fancy of one old dame, who, nude-ina her sister, whispered audibly: " Whit's that he's on the day, Leezie 1" To which the other ~plied as loudly: "'Ob, I daur say It'll be a badge he's.,got at the boolin'."

Non-attendance at church h~ driven many well-meaninE clerg-ymen to peculiar devices to secure better filled pews. In one North country village the minister astonished hia very sma11 cong-ree-ation by announcine- that neit Sunday he would make a shoe in Jive minutes in the pulpit. On the appointed day the church was crowded. First, takin~ the opportunity he treated them to a rousin2' lecture on non-churchg-oing; then, taking a Wellington boot in one hand and a knife in the other, he said, " I will now keep my vromise of last Sunday n ;

whereupon he cut the le~r off the boot, makin2' it into a ahoe. Even if the people come to church there is the difficulty of

keepine: them awake. One clergyman :sorely tried by a dozlni' majority of his COIJ'g'reg-ation, sto\'ped speaking, when they all awoke. Then he said to them; • My £"OOd friends, thiB sermon. cost me a creat deal of labour. and 1 do not think you have p&id it the attention it deaenea. I shall therefore eo over it ~n." And he did I

' A Call for "Tickets."

The slumberen have been on occasion more forcibly roued, and with ludicrous effects, as wben the preacher, notinC' the noddinc heada, broke off the thread of hie discourse to interject a few word~ : "' Bretb reD, I wonder haw many of you would be ready if the an~rel of death were to make hi8 appear .. ance at this moment. and call out in a loud Yoice, • Tickets!' u This familiar word broke the current of tbe sleepy members' thoughts. and balf of the men in n.rious parts of the cburcll awoke with a :start, felt hastily in their waistcoat pockets for eomethinc which was not there, looked round in a dazed sort of fashion, and became promptly attentive.

In a ltie-hland kirk a youn2' preacher wu vigorously otliclatin~r for the parish minister. His thump! were trying the mettle of the rather rickety old pulpit, and an old elder •eated below, was watching the performance with anxious eye, scentine- from afar the possibility of damae-e, and the cost of its repalr. At last the Jtreacher had worked himself into a state of fertour which would inevitably have vented itself on the woodwork, when just as be w~ e-atberinE' himself for the final outburst he was snuffed out by the warninl' whisper pf the e1der-u Noo. ma man, mind, flin ye break that. ye'Jl pay for it In

Not aeldom ill remoter Hi~rh.land districts the attendance at church durinE" unpropitioWI weather is but scanty. One minister, fi.ndin~r hiiWielf on a boisterous Sunday, confronted with hut one eolitary auditor, who happened to be :a rruff, outs-poken char.~cter, took him Into his confidence, with a view to pJOoo "Pitiate him. •• Will I eo on with the sermon, John 1 " John, C'ruffty: '"Of coorse.n Gettinc into the pulpit. and leanin£' over it, be aaked: ..

THE KINOLY VICB OP EATINO •

A GLANCE into the history of many creat personace~~ reveals the fact that the pleasures of the table have found

""'keen appreciation at their hands. Knowledge and refinement were coeval witb culip.ary improvement in Greece: althou~rb oome authorities will have it that the Greek• would have attained to 2reater eminence had they boiled or broiled their meats, instead of always roasting- them in an indi-K'estible fashion. True, Homer mentions brolled dishes at the dinner x-iven by Achillea to the royal messenK"en. but this 'Wu evidently not the u5ual mode of cookery. The Romans imitated the Greeks in thia, but all they thought of were larce quantities, hia-h prices, and luxuries which were difficult to obtain. One e-ood result was that in :searchine- for aucb dainties as peacocks' brains, ni2htingales' tong-ues, and camels' heels, they came upon fresh fields and pastures new, and to the Roman of those olden days this meant new kin2'doma to conquer.

Such men as Lacullus. of whom we read: .. Old LucuHus, they say,

... Forty cooks had each da.r." never dined more sumptuously than when he dined by himself, and ia it not told of him that, on Ure occasion of one of these solitary banquets, he reprimanded his cook for serving him with so cheap a dinner-the co:st was one hundred pounds. Apiciua too, a fenent worshipper of the table, committed suicide because he spenl so much on gratifyinll his epicureao tastes that he had onlr twenty-five lhouliiand pounds left in hand.

Father Prout insisted that the German dislike of the fasts which the Catholic religion enforced brought about the Reformation. Luther himself was a hearty eater, and, allhOf.le-b his ta'ilea were veo simple, &till be liked to have them a:atisfied. 1

A Queen's Enormous Meals. The French Revolution, which deprived poor Kinll Louis

and his loveb wire of either the wherewithal to make a dinner, or the dinin"'"room to eat it in, eel free. hundreds of cooks from the ch3.teaux, and the restaurants for which Paris has since been famoWI spran&" into existence. The chefs bad learnt much from their masters and mistreS8es.J. for from the -royal rulera of France to the poorest countlJ' chatela.ine cooken was part of their education. Catherine de Medicis introduced the art, and tau~rht her cook the secret of makina- ices. Pope Leo X. was '-ery partial to ices, and Anne of AU3tria delhrhted in capons, which ahe liked to have stuffed with fruit. This Queen was one of the famO"JS royal Kluttons of the world. She not onl7 ate enormous meals, but was c:onstaatly munchin~r somethin~r between them.

Perhaps, however, the champion lady eater of all time was Aelais, the daughter ot Megades, ,.;bo at one meal devoured twelve pounds of meat, a large quantity of bread, and a 2'allon ot wine. Charlemagne was not a ere at bread-eater. but he could put out of sight the fourth part of a ra.m, a couple of fowl• or a &oose, sometimes a piece of pork. For &"a.me he liked a peacock, a crane, or a whole hare, and a dessert of apples. He drank very little wine, and that little diluted wllb water.

Napoleon, accordinl' to some of his myriad biQ&'raphe1'3, killed himself by bad cookinc and by his ineculli,J' habit of eati112'. The want of proper sustajninl' food paralysed bis ene~Yies at Borodtno and at Lei~ic. On the occasion, thou2'h, of one of his successful battles, he enjoyed a chicken served by bls camp chef in a novel manner immensely, and when he se:nt for the chef to ask him what recipe he bad followed the man, thorouR"hly confused, and believin~r that hia Imperial patron was dissatisfied with hia attempt&, wu oblil'ecl to confeu that he Ptad followed none.

BEHAVlOUR IS A MIRROR IN WHICH EVERYONE SHOWS HIS IMAGE.

Borrow's 0 1ft of Language. July ONE of George Borrow's Z&. most congenial ta"iks •as

to get the Gospel of St. Luke prlnteJ in the Euscaua ( .. Basque"). and to tell wbat he thotlJ:ht aoout the people who speak tbis strange tongue. Borrow learned di.flicult languages with ease, but be c;ould 1\ot so acquire the Basque. Indeed, he ci.tes with approval the Sp;mi~h "<;tory that Satan once lived seven years in Bbcay. to quit it in disg~t on finding himself unable either to under~tand the people or make himself unrterstood. Hut Bonow understood that proud race better than their tongue. The poorest cannan he declared to be as proud as th4!1 G<lvernor of Tolosa. Borrow had a Basque as servitOT; •• but then be alwafS treated me more as an equal than ou a ma.'<iter ; would sit down in my pr-c~cnce. ~ixe me his advke unasked, and enter t.nto conversati{)n with me at all times and occasions. Did I check him! Certainly not, for in that c~e>e he would have left me, and a more faithful creature I never knew."

Basque is spoken Ly about 10o,ooo pe:r~ons, who are naturally proud of a language that is their excl•L'>ive possession. for it is unlike ever) other spoken tongue ; 'Pld the ~rtion b commonly made tbat to understand it you must have learnt it in the cradle. This peculiar property gives, in the mind of the Basque people. c;upport to their' belief that it was the language of Adam and Eve. The same claim is advanced, tbuugh, fur Bretan, and was strongly endorsed by no less a person than La Tour d"Auvergne, the .. Flr:st Grenadier of France," who would have llcen rewemllered as an ethnologist if he had not ~n so famous as a soldier. He !law in Breton the parent stem from 1'o'hich all other languages had sprung, ·The Romans, when they conquered Gaul les~ respectfully compared it to the croaking of ravens, About a mi11ion people speak Breton. Then there are Flemish, ~till spoken by a comparatively small number in North· Ea.:.tern France ; Catalan in tbo Pyn~nees-Grientales; and Languedoc:: and ProVent;:al, whose gradual e:J:tinction l•a-s lleen delayed mainly by tho etforts of a few literary enthw.iasts,

Bismarck's Drinking Fe ab. July F~w people would' care to 30. emulate the feat accom·

pli3bed by Bhmarc:k on tho occastoa W.Jen be drank eight lemon squashes In tbe cot1rse of one speeclL Tbe lroo Cbancellor's-- naturally tine powers of suctlon were, however. developed by bis diplomatic training. On one occastun be boasted that in his youth he drank a bottle of champagne at one draught from a •• puzzle goLiet so constructed that one Ctruld not bringit close to one":s Ups, yet one wa"'' not allowed to ~pill a drup. Not a single drop fell on my waistcw.t. Everyono was immen<;ely surprised, but I said, ' Glve me 1111other. • . . • Such tricks were forwcrly aa. indispensaLie part of the diplomat's trade. They drank the weaker Ye\sels under tbe table, woruoed all they ""anled tl) know out of them, and made them •i:'r:ee to tbines contrary to tbelr m .. tr .J.c:tions. • • When th~ ~ot sober, they could .oe: lmqine •.by they had Kted so.-

"NINB TAILORS MAKB A MAN." .. NINf! taHon make a mao." Whence came thl11 curioua

prOTerb 1 There ha,-c been a &"OOd many stories which proress 1o arive the o.ri&"in of the sayin~r, but they all appear rather lo have been made for the adae-e than really to explain it.~ A curious thing- about the sayine is that it ia not confined to the fn2"1ish loD~ue. H it bclone-ed to the Ene-lish lanjluag-e alone, ffe mle-ht attempt to explain it by rearardine- the word

tailors u u a corruption from 11 tellers," or perhaps u tale .. bearers"; in which caae one mie-ht spy more .reason in the phrase. But no such easy escape Crom lhe difficulty is possible; wherever we find the proV'erb it employa the word tailor, a maker of e-arments.

Surely, to usert that nine tailolll are of no more worth than one man of ordina.r:y occupation is a. libel on an industrious . ' class of craftsmen : even n~orc a libel than the. old EnE"hsh boast that one Briton b1 as good as three Frenchmen. The numbers are out ef all proportion, as any man mieht find were be to endeavour to fieht with nine £'entlemeb o( the needle. That nine lailors would unmake one man mhrht be easily possible in many ways; their biJls would certainly ruin him, unless he bad a very lone purse.

If we reE[ard clothes as the makinl' of a man, the sayinl' ia equally incongruous~ for a sinE[ le tailor is quite enou&"h to ~Jrovide one individual with suilable habilimenl8. There must have been some story or tradition, now fora-otten, which liea at the root of this aine-ular Ba)dlli"-

Taylor, the .. water-poet." who, perhapl!l resents the ,proverb as personal. g-ives the number CLS three:

"Some foolish knave, ( thinke, at first beean The slander that three taylors arc one man."

The word " aret'' instead of •• make,, kiUs many of the attempted explanations at a blow. One of the e::splanatory atories, datine- a century lal~l' than the time of tbe •• waterpoet/' which 8Utliciently proves its falsity, states that a poor orphan boy onc:e applied to a tailor's shop for assistance, and in this shop were nine journeymen tailon4 Eacb of these kindly contributed a shillinar towards starting- hlm in life; and the orphan procured a barrow and bca-an to aeJJ fruit. He prospered so that in time be became a lare-e merchant, and with e-rateful remembrance he adopted aa hla motto the wo.rda, u Nine tailors made me a ma.n. 11

A Oerman Explanation. This pleasin2" little •tory was possibly invented by aomeone

desirous of &"iving- the proverb a creditable orie-in. and meaninc: but it is quite spoiled if w'e uae the words, " Nine tailors 'are' a man.,. Equally jncr~dible is the German &tOO" of the nine tailo111 who were working toK"ether whea a poor hunery tramp appealed to them for alms. They feel him and cave him money, upon which he e,a:daimed," You have made a man of me.,.

Carlyle tells us that whc .. D ei£htcen tailon waited on £ood Queen Bess as a deputation, she saluted them with ,. Goodmomin&", I"Cnllemcn both, .. which waa not :ftatterin.-, bowever witty, and it is fu.rther stated that a c-entleman who had challen2'ed a tailor to a duel a.sked, •• .Where are the other eia-ht?, A rhyme of the aeventeentb century at once reaent. a.nd ex plai111 the old ad3,2'e :

h Tbere la a proverb which ha.th beea of oht, And manJ' men have likewise been 80 bold To the discredit of the taiJo.r'• trade; Nine tailors e-o to make a man, they sa.id, But tor their tredit I'll uoriddlc it 1.' re ; A draper once fell into poTerty ; Nine tailora joined their purses toe-ether thca To set him up, and make him a man aa-en."

Ir la more than probable that the aaJinc came hola tbe East, from the home or the .. Arabiaa Nhrhta," •beace iD the early Middle A&"e. Eutope bonowed _, much roJD..aac:e.

EA~LY ~EP~BSHMENTS ON THB LINE.

THR InTention of rallwaJ' refreshment rooms was Qot due to a railwaJ' companJ, nor to a firm of cater~rs, nor to a

man even, but to a woman~ne Mm.. Hi bbert. This enterprisin~r Jady prel"ailed oa the directors of the London and Birmin&ham Railway to establish refreshment rooirul on a &'rand aca.le at Wolverton in 1840, and to entrust their manaQ"ement to ber. To commence with, every trala from the up mail at 4 a.m. to the down York mail at 11 p.m. stopped for ten ntlnutet~.. Mn. Hibbert, the •• Generalissima," as she was called, 2athered round ber a celebrated staff, bee-inningwith the aevea FOUDK' waitresses who (ormed an attraction superior to all the comestiblea.

The Wolverton room was at first only available to firstand second-class pa.ssene-ers, and Mrs. Hi bbert was the a.uthot of many strineent rules to preserve them from Tulgari'!iation. One of the latter wa.s •• No drau~Ihl beer drunk on the premises." Bottled ale, therefore, could only be furnished by means of a corkscrew. and Mrs. Hibbnt, appreciatine the difficulty of that operation where :roun~r ladies are concerned, tral18ferred by a ware of her sceptre the drawin~: department to the hand!~ of the youn2' l[entl<man with all the buttons. She never could, howe.,..er, to the day of her death, make up her mind that youn~I ladies Ouitbl to be reJieyed from &'in&'erbeer and soda-water.

There were annually consumed at Wolverton 182,500 Banbury cakes, 56,940 Queen cakes. 43,800 lbs. of meat, and 85 pi2's impartially promoted b7 seniotity one after another into an infinite number of pork-piea. Also, 45,012 bottles of stout, 25,692 bottles of ale, 666 bottles or K"in~ 464 bottles of rum, and 2,932 bottles of brandy. Note the chan~te of aocial habits, for whisky is not so much as mentioned.

. Ten Minutes' .Stay at Swindon. The Great Western's fir!t refreshment room!!l were at

Swindon, a small affair, vested in the personality of an aged, broken-down sta2'e-coachman. The latter individual did so well that in 1842 a firm of contractors came on the scene and built laJYer rooma, free of e.~:pense to the company~ in return for a ninety-nine years' lease at a peppercorn rent and a contract that every train should make a stop of ten minutes' duratlon, and that no rival stopping-place which mi¥ht injure the Swindon receipts should be set up between London and Bristol. ~ ,

The reasoa why stations within such a short diatance of London as Wolverton and Swindoa were selected for the first refreshment rooms was the mistaken notion that railway cus.tomers, like travellers br the old coaches, would be ravenous every fi{tJ miles or so. An observer relates that the blank

I .. aston shmeat of the down" passen~rera at Wolverton and Swindon, wben they found they were not so hua2'o: ~ they expected. was somethin.2' worth seein~r.

Swindon's early commissariat was no better than that of Wolverton, the jndi.:-estio.a brought on by its pork-pies and bad bottled beer being a byword. At the e-nd of fifty years the Great Western authorities found this compulson stoppia&" an intolerable obstruction to their lon2'-distance traffic, and accordin2'b • in the autumn of 1895, they bou2'bt. out the proprietors foe ..!100,000.

Until December, 1900~ when restaurant caD were first introduce4 on the • Fbinz Scotchman, 11 a speciality of the journey ~b:r either of the three routes to the north was the twenty minutes' hall for luncheon at Preston, York, and Normantoo respcclivelJ. The West Coast instituted the gractice in 1863, and the arrangements at Preston were at finst of a toU2'h and ready order, a hot and perspirine woman doine- all the ca"jng. Subsequently the Nocth-\\"estern Company took over the department, and &"real improl"ement soon manifested itself by presaure from the directors, wb.o had studied r.tilway caterina- in France. The Midland was the fint line to carry on its own hotels.

No loYe •as I~ between them. This poor old judge--o11111 of the oddities of the bench-was almost driven demented by Brougham·s volubility and acuteness. He liked to dawdle onD~berry fashion-with prisoners and junes in his own way, andJ ust when he was looking forward to the pJMsure of duing so. lo I his enemy would appear ln court-tall, cool, resolute, remorseless. •• J declare," said the old judge, " that that man Broom, or Brougham, is the torment of my Ufe." He revenged himself by sneenng at Brougham·s eloquence and calling him "The Harangue.. • •• Well, gentlemen, what did the Harangue s""y next?

Lord Roberts Dislike• Cats. Sep. L<~.D ROBERTS as a youth 80. was extremely delicate, and

it has been. !said that, if the army requirements in regard to measurements had been enfurced in his early days. he could never have looked back on a brilliant Dlilitary career.

QUAINT BELIEFS ABOUT MIRRORS.

1\flRRORS of polished metal were the first kind known, 1 l' those IJt the ancient Ee-yptians and Peruviau beinK" made of poli:~hed brass and copper. The Ee-yptian womea. were: ao fond of their minon1 that they even carried them to their most aolemn places of womhip. The mino111 of the ancient Greeks and Romans were made of bronze, and articleR of this kind have been found in Roman ~rraves, and occasionally in those of Anlllo-Saion time!'l. These ancient mirrom were very am all, and merely to hold in the hands; they were, however, in use until the beg-innin:~r of the sixteenth century, when suspended lookin2"·2"lasses were inve.nted. The latter, it appears, were orh~·inally imported into England from France; thus, in the privy purse eipense• of Henry VIII. in 1532, we meet with .. payment to a Frenchma.a for certain lookinK .. e-lasses."

At one period a small mirror bane-inK from tbe flrdle was a fashionable female ornament; and Stubbs, in his • Anatomie of Abuses," speaks with coarse an~rer of the custom: .. They must have their lookin&'-e-lassc:a carried with tbem wherever they e-o : and arood reuon, for else bow could they He the devil in them ? 11

Theae small mirron were also sometimes set in ladies' fana, In the broad part alxn-e the handle, near the settine- on of the feathers. LoTelace addzessed a copy of verses to his mistress'• fan, which be describes aa made of ostrich feathers dyed ekyblue. with a lookine--e-Iass set Jn it:

" My lively shade thou ever shalt retaine In thy inclosed feather-framed claaa."

Napoleon and Josephlne. In folk-lore the mirror plays an important ]Jart. Tbe

breakina- of one ia considered most uolucky, the notion beinar that such an occurrence is sure to be followed b" lhjsfortune of some kind or other. In Cornwall the suppost'd pen~1ty for breakine a mirror is seven years or misfortune, and a Yorkshire proverb says that this unfortunate happenine- entails •• •even years' trouble, but no want." In Scotland, the breakin.e- of a lookine--e-l:ass betokens a death in the family, commonly to the master of the house. This curious superstition had an effect even on the strone- nerves of Napoleon, wh.o, durin£" one of bia campaigns in Italy, broke the a-lass over Josephine'a JKJrtrait. He never rested until the return of the c::ourier dispatched to obtain assurance of her safety, so atromr was the impression of her death on hi:~ mind.

In the South of Ene-land lt l11 considered unlucky for a bride about to e-o to church to look in the glass afler her toilet is completed. Hence very lifi'Cat care is always taken to put on a., ~rlove or some other article after tbe last look h<u1 been taken in the mirror. Th"e idea is that any youn2' lady who is too fond of her lookine"-2"lass will be unlucky when married. A u~wiJ married COUJ!le. on enterine- their hou:se for the first Ume, must al waya be careful to IOOok into the mirror at the same time, and hand in hand. In Scotland the shadow of the destined bride or bridearroom is aaid to be seen by lookina- into the e-lus on the eve of St. Ae-ne11.

Swedish maidens. we are infonned, dare not -look in the class after dark, or by candle-lie-ht. lest they should forfeit the ;E"ood opinion bf the other sex. To see tbe new moon for the first time throuarh a window-pane, or reflected in a mirror, is in many places considered ominous of ill. Worcestershire matron.s are all-aid to let a cb ild see it:ielf in a minor, under the belief that if it aeet its infant face iD the class it will •urely die.

In manY rural parts of Ene-land it ls tbe custom to cover up the lookifl2"-glass on the occasioo of a death in the house, or to remove it from the death chamber durine- the time the corpse remains unburied. The reason for this il that if a person. looks into a mirror in. the chambe.- of death he will ae• the COI"PH lookinc over hia shoulder.

The Middle Temple Library. Oct. 1T was on October 31, 1861, 31. that King Edwa:rd opened

the present Library of the Middle Temple. Formerly the Library stood on the s1te of Garden Court. among the occupants of the chambers on its ~tairease being OUver Gol<h.mith, who is said by Prior ta have shared .his lodging witb the! butler of the Inn. In the days of Henry VUI. the Library was so small and nqlected that, acc01d· ing tq Cotton, ""it was at last robbed and spoUed of all the bookes of it.'" The real foumter of the present LILra:rr was ltoltcrt Ashley, who, dying m 1641, left the Inn the sum of £,]00 for the purpose of enabling tbe""l'Jenchers. to whom he also left his own collcctloa. of books. to maintaiD the Library of the Inn In better order. Some sixty years later, however, in the word$ of Henry Casey, then recently appointett the Keeper of the Library, 1t was ••a perfect chaO!!i of papef and a wtldeq~ess o( books." Now the Llbrary contains 5ome so,ooo TOiumes, and b kept iD the best: af order.

Ttl\3 HISTORY OF SUNDIALS. . AS all our time, both days and years, U. marked by the pasaa2'e of the :sun, the sundial was the most natural

and simple of timepieces, · and in some respects the mO&t unerri02'. Its invention is usually attributed to the Baby .. lonians, from whom, Herodotus tells us, the Greeks borrowed it. The earliest distinct reference to the sundial in the Bible ia the mention~of the dial of Ahaz, in the Second Book of KinC'S. There has been some uncertainty about the translation of this verse, but the usual idea is that the dial was a building or tlie-ht of •teps risine to a point like the K"nomon on a dial plate. Even this elaborate dial seems to have been ralh~r an experiment or lar~e tor than a deliberate step In the- science of horoiOK"Y; and the Hebrews appear to have Q"nne without a.ny timekeepers beyond the sun in the hea...ens.

The first conception of a sundial wu probably auzef'!sted by the sight of some upright stone or tree castine- its shadow on a track of bare land. To this vny dar the peasants of Egypt place a palm stick in the ground and arrane-e stones around it; thus formine- a primitive sundial. When we attribute to the Babylonians the invention of the sundial, it ia more than likely that they themselves derived at least the principles of timekeepinz- from the Ez-yptianl!l, whose knowlede-e of astronomy and mathematica was very advanced. The colossal statue of Memnon. which stood at 1"hebe:s, was In some :senses a sua dial, and was reputed to ~rive forth a sound like the brcakine- of a barp-strina- at sunrise •

Perhaps the e-reat pyramids themselves were intended as immense sundials, as welJ as vast mausoleums. It is certain that many E~ryptian obelisks served this. purpoo;e. I:.ookine- at our own Cleopatra'• Needle, which forms so conspicuous a fie-ure in London. it is interestin~ to remember that a similar monument stood as a wonder in the busy centre or Rome. It makes one realise how modern is not only our own civiliaation. but even that of the city of the &even hiJIJJ, compared with the immemorial eminence of old Ee-ypt.

Tbe Comin~ of tbe Clock. But, apart from borrowed obeliskS, dials were Tery com111on

in Rome, u they bad been in Greece; and many :;pecimens survive to show us what theY were like. More interestinc to us, perhaps, an= the old Enclish dials that He about our land, some of which belon&' to early Sa:~on day&. There are dials still e:~istine- which date from the seventb centurr ; 11ucb as that at Bewcastle, in Cumberland, and two in Hampshir~. One at Kirkdale, io Yorkshire, datin~r from the tenth century, bears the inscription: •• This is the day's sun marker in every tide, and Hayward made me and Brand the priest," whicb inscription is In Anl'lo-Sa:~on.

The advent of clocks, thou&"h it lessened their tlsefulnessl did not remove dials from our midst. They tlouris!•ed larg-ely .. especiaJly in churchyards, where their felicity in pointio1 morals made them vert popular. Some of the sentences on old sundials are almost u quaint as certain epitaphs. Al Winklei~rh church. in South Devon, ie the followinz- :

u Life's but a &badow, man's but dust. This dyall san, DJ all we must."

But the dial is not confined to £f3.Teyards, or to the walla of churches; we find it in old-fashloned &ardens and <ourtTards. How could an:r old shady e-arden, with its mazes of hawthorn or bo:~ or holly, be complete, unless in some quiet open &pot stood its sundial, with mossy sides and half-defaced inscription ? Watches and clocks are admirablt! for the ll!!ie& of e1oer:rday life ; but may .our quaint old E"arde-a., our peaceful churchyards, aeve.r lack the .-eutlc presence of the :sundial I

How appropriate, too, is the quaint sundial, seeD OD the 2'able-end of an ancient Elizabethan mansion, or upon aome lime-worn wan in OUI' old lnDII of Court I Still IDOL'C" appropriate on a sunny lawn within the cloistered recesses or a venerable collea-e. O:dord is rich in old •undials, and one in Christ Church quad was the work of Nicholu Kratzer.

Witchcraft In England. Nov. PERHAPS the most Interest ..

.a... ing of English trials for witchcraft was that of the

Suffolk witches in 1665, for Sir Matthew Hale was the judge and Sir Thomas Browne appeared as an expert medical witness. The two prisoners were ac· cused of bewitching youn.r children. a gn1at point for the pra;ecution being that out of the blanket of an infant suckled by one of them a great toad hAd fallen and exploded in the fire like gunpowder. Immediately after the witch was found at home ~corch~ and maimed. In spite of um.atbfactory evidence the two were convicted. Wb~ upoa. the children's health at ooce began to lm ... .;ove.., '

One of th4i most eJ:traord.lnary things In the hideous chronicles of wit(:hcraft is Sir ThoutaS Urowne s belief in witches. The •• Religi.o Medici" is one of the most nobly <:haritable Dooks ever written,. Jet be wbo could write, •• No man can justly crnsure or condemn another: because, ind~ed, no man truly knows another;• <~.bo wrote, .. For my part I have ever believed, and <\o now know, that tbere are witches. They that doubt of these do IKlt only deny tbem, but splrihi: and are obliquely, and u~n ~0115equence. a sort, not of infidels, but atheists.'" The statement Is absolute!f definite, "do now know," yet be otl"eni oo s~rap of eviden~e.

The trtal of the Suffolk witches. whom he bel~ to burn. took place thirty years afte.- the public.atioo of the •• Rei igio Medici."

Mendel~ohn'a "St. Paul." Nov. FoR. some UJ\Cl(plalned rea-

... son ncme of Mendelssohn's compositions gave him so

much trouble in conception and ex~ cution a.s his u St. PauL" There are frequent alluslon.c; to these difficulties in his publlshed letters. Thus he wrltes: •• The fin;t part of • St. Paul' ls now nearly completed. and I stand before it ruminating, like a cow who is afraid to go through a new door, and J never seem to finish lt." Strang:~ly • or perhaps not strangely. the seleC\'ion of a suitable libretto pvoe Mendel<;sobn more difficulty tban thoe ccmpasition of tbe music. ll4!11 was nervously anxious lest any of th4!11 prin~ipal features in the life, cbaracteT and teaching of St. Paul .. have been either omitted 01' falsified."

Lord Chesterfield and Voltalre.

Nov. THB c:elebrated Lord Chos-2.... terfield happened to be at a

ball in France where Voltal.r• wu one oC the cuests. Cb«t"terfield w:;oed to be caztnc about the brllHant

Some time after this Voltaire, being In London, met Lord Cbestel'field at a lar(fl party. A l.iady in CXIUlpanf, prodig&uusly painted, directed her whole di,course to Voltaire, and entirely eng-rossed bls conversatiOIL Chesterfield came up and tapped bim <XI the shoulder, sayinc, •• "rake care you are not captivated I" •• My lord." replied the French wit. ..

clever writer <:an encumber himself with books and papers. WOl'k· ing at hOII'teo be due out with great pains strange facts and UlustratiOilS from laboriously comp~led commonplaca boolcs and scrapbooks of cuttings. But his very best journalistic work was ac. complished away from books, wlth only memory and, it was maliciously said,. hi5 imagination for his facr. and ancedotes. In this respect be was like a i:'ood ma..Dy other authorr..

Hora<:e Greeley 's Writing. Nov. PROBABL V the most illegible S8. of all journalists was Horace

Greeley. It is recorded that mc:e. when the offices of the T,.Umtu were being rea.rranged, be wrote out as a notice that was to appear outo;1de, •• Entrance on Spruce Street."' lt appeared, after tbts b1ll printer had i.Q.. terpretcd the scrawl a<~ be!>t he cxmld, as •• Editol''s ea the Spree." Another time Greeley sent a wtitten message to tbe Corcm;ul that a certain compositor must be dismissed as too inefficient a workman c. be any longer employed on the T~. The foreman. knowing Greeley's writing, made it out; but the compositor secured the message and at once 8'Cit a place upon another newspaper, the str~ foreman ba'l'ing decipbel'ed it as •• a good and efficient compadtol', and alon&' time employed Clll tho TribuJU."

Tbe best stooy of Greeley's lllegl. blllty Is so circumstantial that to doubt lt would be absurd. lovited to address tbe Iowa Pres& Assoc:,latloo,. he Jinally wrote. ; '!I ba"e waited tllllongu W'&itlne' would be disiCO&ll'teous, ~y to find that I c:a.nnot attend yo.u Press meeting next June. as I would like to do. I '-ad sa many cares and duties pressiJur m me that, with tbe wele-ht of years. I feel obliged to decline any bivltatiCG. that takes me away a day'1 jcunloy from home.'"

The Association puzzled oYeJ' the '5CI'awl, and finally made tbls CJI lt; "I have wondentd all alon&' wbllthw any squirt bad deuiedtbesc;and.al about the President meetlng J aue la tbe woods aa.

THE ORIOIN OF THE MENU. SOME idea of the lmporbnc:e of the menu ia obtained

wben we consider that many of the la~Ye J'estaurants KITe uye.ral hundred dUferent dishes. It would be wellnhrh impossible for a waiter to commit to memory the names of all these dishes, and e.-en if he could it would take him nearly hall au hour to repeat thom to the patrono. The meau took birth early ia. the twelfth century.

1t was Duke Henf'J' of Brunswick who was first observed in the intervals of a banquet to scan carefully a lon2' strip of paper by the side of his plate ; and when the curious e-uests ventured to inquire into the na.ture of his studies be explained that it was a sort of proe-ramm~ of the dishes which he bad commanded ·from the cook, to the intent that if some delicacy which especially appealed to him were marked for a late stq'e in the J"Cpast he mi~rht carefully reserve his appetite for it.

The simplicitY' and beauty of the idea appealed Instantly to the :I!'OOd duke's circle, aod the menu-card from that moment beca.me an institution.

In its old-fashioned form the bill was usually written Jare-e on cards of such imposin2' dimensions that room for one only could be found at each end of the bo<yd.

In the mediceval dinner this aid '"to selection must have been an absolute ne<:essity, for the medizval dinoel' waa a mine of surpri:ses.

It was divided Into courses, as are our own meals; but whereas nowadays the diner bas a ~reneral idea. that fisb will follow soup, and that entrie as succeeded by .,elevJ, and can conceive ~renerally the sort of demand that each. course wiU make upon his appetite and di2'estion, there was no possible a~YuiDii:' as to what was goinl:' to happen at an Early EJ1E"lish dinner, and close study fails to revea• 1be e:ril,tence of any principle of arran~rement.

ANIMALS THAT TALK. THE latest animal to take to human speech J1 the doe. There wu some incredulity when it waa announced that Don. a d02' belone-ine- to Herr Ebera, a 2'amekeeper on the royal huntin&" preaervca near Hamburi, had begun to talk-; but when Huller, an Airedale terrier, aaaure-d the world at larze that be, too, could speak like a man\ unbelief wu set at rest.

Don speaks German. He s:aya 1 Ha.ben "(I want) when he is askin~r for food. Also u Kuchen," meaninz u cakes," and he a.nswen; with hi8 name when uked for it. One day he wandered into a atrance kitchen, where the housewife was alicine 1ausaa-ea.

u Doa-bun&"er-wa.at I 11 he .aid. The wom~ tenified out of her wits, dropped her fryini'-PU and fled.

Huller can aay, "God aaTe our eracioua Kinc," and if anyone annoye him. he announca, •• I'll tell mamma."

Aa En&"liah tra..-eUer, Tisitill&' the Sultan of Djobe jo Ka.rta.. In Ja.n, aome few yeua qo, wu •bown a collection of 11

Seven and Twenty-Seven. Dec. IT ls Interesting to note the Z7. prominent part that the

D\Oilben seven and twentyse•en have played througbo.Jt the Duke of Norfolk's life.. Born on December 2]tb, I847. his tirst marriae-e took Place In I877, and In I887 his wife died, leanng him wltb an only child, who was seven yean of age. After beinif a widower far seventeen years he marrJed. when in hb fifty-seventh year, a lady, born in r81.7, whose age was twentyseven, and to mark this occasion he received ftmn the Roman Catholic Union of Great Britain an address of congratulation 011 April 27th, :1904· His dauehter was bo~rn on June 2]th, at seven o'dock In the ~venlnllf.

It seems coincidental that his father held the title for only seven years, and that one <Jf his ancestors-Henry, Earl oC Suney-was beheadM on Tower Hi11 in IS.7o at the age of twenty-seven,.

~OVAL WASTE Ofl MONEY.

TH:iRE have beea refo11111 In our own royal palacea, for immense sums of money appear to have been wasted on

innumerable tri.fle:11 durin&' Queen Victoria's reiE"n• One day, while the Queen waa drivinif, the royal coachman

was taken ill. Her Majesty called for brandy, but there w:a.a none to be E'ot. Everitually they returned to the palate, where orders were R"iven tbat a bottle ol brandy •hould alwara be placed in the royal carriae-e before tb.e Queen went ont. This, of course, was done; but, owinc to the fact that a fresh botH~ or brandr was placed in the c;uriace nearly every tim~ il wu taken out, the expense of the Queen'• thou&"htful order sooq became rather heavy.

When the Queen waa in residence at Windsor, h took ~o less than €500 a day to "li&'hl the kitchen fire," to use the phrase current among- the castle aervants. These servants, too, were kept up in unnecessary numbers, as a sin£" le inltance will show. Three u chocolate women 11 were kept, who had nothina- else to do but prepare the one cup of chocolate a d&J that was served to Queen Victoria in the morninz.

Another expensive item in the old royal household wu tlle bill for candles. No candle :.!lat had once been lig-hte".!, if only for a few minutes, was ever ae-ain used.

Kinc Peter of Senia, on the other band, is worried about money, and be can hardly ask for help from hia Goyemment, fo~ they, in their turn, are half crazy over the debts that Ale.a:ander left behind him. One creditor alone .ie still claiminc !100,000.

NATURAL CALENDARS. THE most extraordinarY natural calendar ia to be seen in the British Museum. It consist& of a lari"e stone,. knowD as the "Sunday stone," and wa.s removed from a drain in an Ene-lisb coal-mine. .

When the mine was workin2", the coaldust-coloured water left a black deposit; bot at nie'b.t, a.e well u on Sundays and holidays, the water, runniDJ: clear, left a white depo5it.

These deposits, in course or time, built up the stone, Ita section shows a. black streak for each day or work, a white one for nie-ht, and wider white streaks Cor Sundays and holidays.

Every g-lacier is, Jn a way, a calendar. The ice shows layers rather resembline- the rine-s in a tree-trunk. Each layer represents a. winter's snowfall, and by their varying thickness the l!ieYerity of past winten eau be roug-bly calculated.

The atone known to arcbreolOB"i:ita as tllC' Aztec Caleqdar is, properlY speaking, a zodiac, carved out of solid rock, and ia no less than eleven feet eiJ:hl inches in ciia.meter. It wei&'h:l twenty-five tons.

At the time that Columbus discovered America it had been in position for thirteen years. Arter the conquest the Spanish priests pulled it down and ftun£" it into a tnarsh.

Thirty yeara: later it came to the surfacc1 but they buried it aE"ain, and there it lay forgotten for nearly two and a half centuries. It was President Diaz who recovered it, and it now occupies a place in the Me~ican National Museum.

HOW MEN WORK AT GREAT HEIGHTS. T HB methods employed to C81'1'J' out work at &"real heil'hts are various, and nry lnteresdnlf. Some steeplejacks fly lil:ltes, and manage them s(l cleverly that they trail ropes over thesummilsof huge chimneys. Thls plan i1 obvi.olllily best suited to large and flat· topped structures. Another methud. k to drive stout pins into the m.uonry, and use them ln ralsine up the ladderS and pu1leyti.

Some men were one day seen busily at work on the -dome of St. Paul's at the very ba:;e of the ball, where the cross Is fixed. First of all, three ladders were lifted to tb!l &real :ttone gallery at the foot of the dome. Tben three men cl imtJed to the "Golden Gallery'" above the dome, and pa"sed a rope down to their companions in the stone ~:"ttllery bel<Jw, These men fasteried a rope to one of the ladders, and at a signal their collcagu• hauled it up to the Golden Gallery above them, the other ladders followh\2" in due course.

The dome of St. Paul's is covered w1th lead, and is uaa.rked by long ribs extending from top to bottom of the giant eurves, and it was in a c::hanneJ between two of these ribs that the ladders were hoisted, The Golden Gallery wa!t thenceforward taken as the base of operations, aAd it was at that point that the hazardous work be~

They were on a small gallery above ttH, gr-eat rounded dome. Immediately in front of them rose a narrow and ornamental tower, which presently g-ave place to a smaHer and then a slop1ng Mructure as it approached tbe metal ball which they ~esired· to reach.

The:: men's ohject was to refi:x the li~:htnine- conductors, of which there were four ; and they must climb over the lofty intervening structure, which varied in size and shape, untiJ they reached the ball, which is itself some Si:J feet In diameter.

The first ladder was raised on the base of the pllery, and leaned against the perpendicular tower above. Thus placed, the ladder was almost upright. Tt.. real difficulty no...- began. The first man had to a!;;cend the larlder and render it set;:ure, while bi«i companions held it &!o steadily as they could

The first ladder being thus secured, a second' and -shorter ladder was carried to the head of it by two men; . .nd then, while the first man paused at the top of the first ladder, the set;:ond man came t;:arefully behind him and passed the second ladder through his hands. When ralSed sufficiently upward, the lower end of the second ladder was fastened to the top of the first. The darin&' leader now climbed the second ladder, while his mate steadied lt for him. One falose step and both might ~ predpitat~d to death below.

But the man cliwoed uoward with success, and presently he began to throw a rope round the building. His Object wlfs to make the se.und ladder quite secure. As soon, therefore, a:s he climbed far enou~h. he cleverly threw a rope round the edifice, endeavouring to catch the other end as it came circling toward him. As the rope came round, it might t;:atch itself on the ladder, or on some slight projection of the building; or the man himself might" catch it with another rope, or ev~n with hb hand, though it is obvious that no risk could be run of overbalancing hlmself hy stretching too far. But the end of the rope was successfwlly caught, and the ladder was fast bound to the buildings.

Repairing the Dome of St. Paul' .s. When this piece of work was at;:complished,. the third

ladder had to be fixed in a 'Similar manner. One very real diffi.~ulty in climbing ladders placed in St1ch positions may not occur to the average spectator. The h.dder5 are 50 close to the ml.ISQnry tb-.t the feet <Callnot be rested fairly on the rungs. There Is probably only room f()r the toes, so that the workman b.as to climb the ladder tiptoe.

Previously the lii:"htnini: conducton hacl been fastened by wir~ to tbo buildin&', but the plan punued ln rehiDe' them was to place brass bow-sbap.-:i clips over tbo conductors. and.,. &!tcl" clrUUnc hol•, to screw tt.

clips firmly to the structure, tbe conductors belnar In the hollow or bow of the clip. So long, therefore, as the copper to which the clip was screwed held firm, so long would the conductor remain In position.

The lightning conductors on the lofty wotern towers or St. Pauls we: re also re fixed by mea.ru; or ladders and without scaffolding. To reach the copper 04 pineapples .. at the top~ of these towers, three ladders were required, even as three were~ needed in climbin,i" to the ball under the cross.

The plan pursued in rep='lirin~: the K"rcat dome llself was probalJiy even more extnwrdinary, The curVUJg shape of the dome, and the fact that it b covered ""ith lead, and that therefore plwnbers' toqls and a fire to heat the irons were required, assisted to f;;Omplicatc the problem. ·

When last the: dome was repaired ladders were not used, but several tra veiling baskets were employed, mounted on wooden wheels, ""'hich were moved over the dome by na.ea.ns of blocks and ro~ from the Gulden Gallery.

Thew: baskets travelled three in a llne, The first held two men, who did the necessary work ; the second contained an iron tank and a g-as stove, and the third was for tool~ Previously coke or charc<lal bad been lL~ for a tire, but oa this occasion a cas 5tovc w~ thought to be safer.

The Steeple of St. Bride's. Quite a ditT~ent plau from either of tbese two

methods or working at a great height was pursued in dealing with the fine steeple of St. llride's Churt;:h, near FJeet Street., in the :spring of 190'4 The s-teeple b 226 f~t high.

lVren had the ldea of clamping stones to&"ether witb Iron-a method which sounds very safe. But in cour"'ie of years the iron rusted and c-orroded, and actually burst the stones asunder and loosened them. It b the formation of rust which is so mischievous. For this teason it wa:s found net;:essary to take down aud rebuild about fifty-five feet of St. Bride'5 steeple.

The work was conunenced bf placmg nine-Inch deal timbers through the windows o tbe tower, and louildine a strong stage on the projections of these timbers. On this stage a scaffold was con<;tructed r'e-ht up to the! very apex of the steeple, and safe in this lofty eyrie the workmen be2an to take down the stoum, the chiliels being inserted into the mortar-or lime-for the purpose. The stones were all numbered, the dimensions taken,. and they were lowered to the :!iitage hy a windldss. ln rebu1lrlin2" the steeple e-un-metal clamps were used. Gun-metal may corrode. but lt wUl :aot J'UStor oxidise-as does iron.

In order to reach the stage a narro", square.shaped but sufficient scatfoWing wa& also rahed from the lower part of the church, on the soutb side of the lari"e stag-e, and wa!l. itself reached by a ladder from the ground.

This narrow 'Scaffoldmg, which could not be seen rrom Fleet Street, was !oihaped sometbin~ like a larg-e square open-work pipe running up bes1de the tower, and was partly supported and strengthened by cross• pieces resting on ledges and windows uf the edifice. Easy stages wel"e built at different leveb, and ladder~ restin~ agalm.t the tower led UJ..I to, and from, these stages, so that the woTkmen could proceed from the pavement to the very top of the steeple in. safety •

This method indicates the plan proloably pwrsued by Wren in his day. Nevertheless, there appears to be no real authority for stating definitely the e.sact manner in whkh the ereat architect hoisted hi<; men and materials and acc:ompJished hls work at lofty hel£hts of hi's great C<t.thedral. But traces of an olcl wooden wln(:h hav~ been found, and the probaNiity b· tll:a1 b<: worked by meano; of a forest of sc:a«oldlnc &ad bJ winches working at easy Stil,2"et..

It was thus, no doul1t, tbat the Monwnent WM built, It 1s a structure which lencb Itself readily to the method of scatrold and "Windla5s, becaUSIIIII !ut;:h an la.strument could be used at every staare, and the problem becomes comparatively easy of solutlon. -
