seriousness ofthe fact that flowers Of love,
illness are often left to pine on the stem
while weeds Of homeliness go off readi,
", is no doubt in many cases at the
bottom Of the sneering question. The
truth is, that most men prefer homeli
ness and amiability to beauty and en-,
price. Handsome women are apt tC
over-value themselves, aud in waiting
for an immense bid occasionally over,

The London Times was started in 1856,
under the name Of the Daily Unicersal
Register, but changed its title to the
Times in 1888, "becalise being mon.
osyllnble no change Of taste can corrupt
its meaning" Mr.. John Walter, grand
father Of the present proprietor, who
bears the came name, was sole founder
and proprietor Of the paper. He was
succeeded by his son John Waiter in
1903, who at once began to display that
sngacity and liberality in conducting the
Times which has since given 1t power
unparalleled in the records ofiournalism.
Steam was first applied to the printing
OF the paper in 1914, the first number 50
printed appearing in Nov. 20 OF that
year. The machinery hns since been
greatly improved, and at the present day
the Times is printed ut the rate of 49,
600 to 22,0OO copies per hour. The
present editor is Mr.. Thomas Delne
whose father was also manager of the
paper. He writes nothing himself, but
confines himself, so it is said, to correct
ing the compositions ofhis subordinates
which he often alters and interlines L
such nm extent that the authors cal
scarcely recognize their articles wher
they appearin print. DR.. Dasent, nov

Publishing Under Difficulties.

The publication OF the Dundee Weekly
in Illinois has been discontinued. This
is the sixth time tint the Weekly, under
successive proprietors, has come to nn
untimely end ; and in its final issue the
rules are turned and the resources Of the
Office in the way Of ghastly cuts Of cof.
fins and tombstones are exhausted in the
effort to render suitable mortuary hOnors
to the expiring journal. And as the
editor had many gaping columns at his
disposal which should have been filed
with paying advertisements, but which
ewing to the penuriousuess Of the non
advertising population of Dundee were
not 10 occupied, he took occasion to fill
the vacant space with earnest and I'M
eQuivocal expressions Of his candid opin.
ion in regard TO the place and its in.
habitants. His description OF Dundee
is hardly calculated to attract immigrn-
ton TO that particular part Of Kane
county. He calls it Il Chicago burned

Of meanness into grabbing after pennies
and cold victuals and declares that il

A Case Of Identification.

A telegram from Paris correspond.
ent OF an English newspaper, tells an
extraordinary story. The trial OF men
who are charged with the murder Of
the hostages during the Communal in
surrection, has produced one of the
most startling events ever witnessed in
court OF Justice. There are legends Of
the sudden appearance in court Of the
man for whose supposed murder pris-
oner was Just being condemned to death.
But at Versailles man suddenly ap.
pcared for whom another man has been
mistaken by nearly all the witnesses,
The prisoner, Pigerre, seemed till near
~ the end Of the trial, to be the most
clearly identified OF all. A stern, hard,
unlmpassioned man, with a pale face,
shnrply-defned features, and m eX-
preston Of unusual yigor and rssolu-
ton, Pigerre is man who, once seen,
would not he likely to be forgotten, His
striking appearance has marked him OnT
among the prisoners, while his bold and
confident manner in confronting the
witnesses has given the Court n great
impression of his vigo- aud resolution,
and created great prejudice against
him. One by one the witnesses have
pointed him out, and he has confronted
each with new courage, always to find
that they persisted in swearing that he
WIS the leader Of the firing party. To-
wurds the end OF the trial, witness de-
clared the name of the officer was Sic
ard, and not Pegerre but the Court did
not believe him against the general tes-
timony. At the last moment this Sic
ard, staiT.captain under the Commune,
who was only arrested on Saturday, was
brought into Court, and at once identi'
fed Os the man who really took the
part Pigerre was proved to have taken,
The likeness between them is extraOrdi'
nary, and their conformation at once
convinced the whole Court that Pigerre
was innocent. It is another and most
striking case of identity, Pigerre's
boldness is explained. He stood up and
confronted each witness in the confidence
OF innocence.

A Knowing Horse.

Philip Ashley, of London, was un.
doubtedly the best horse.tamer of his
day, and as n Judge Of what may be
called trick horse flesh, he has never
perhaps been equaled. He generally
obtained his stud from Smithfeld, car
ing, rs he said, "little for shape, make,
or color /" temper was the only consid.
crntion. He rarely gave moro than five
pounds for each. For this price he oh.
tained his accomplished horse "Billy, E"

versed in all the learning OF the circus.
"Billy" could fire OF pistols, take tea.

arrange cups and saucers, and invite the
clown to tea. all agreed that he could
do everything but talk. But one day
BILLY" was arrested by the Sheriff. not
on account of any extrayagnnce OF bis
own, but owing to the misconduct Of a
groom, one Saunders, to whom he had
been lent. Saunders had been many
years in Astley's employ, and had bor-
rowed "Billy" to exhibit him by wny
Of private speculation. This terminated
in the Imprisonment OF Saunders in the
Fleet, and the sale OF "Bllly" to the
highest bidder. For three years the
favorite was lost sight Of. Accidentally
one day two Of Astley's riders"
discovered "Billy" drawing a cart in
Whitechapel. There could be no ques-
tion OF the fact, for upon hearing a pc
cnliar clicking together OF the nails OF
the forefnger and thumb-one Of the
signs or sounds Ashley had always en-
ployed in trimming his stud-"Billy" had
pricked up his ears, pranced and danced
in very remarkable manner. The re-
coguition was mutual. "Billy's" present
proprietor was well content to part with
him ut moderate price, "for, as he

Babylon and the Pyramids.

meremains Though very slight ones
are still to be found. Even the chang,
ing gardens" of Babylon, rs once de.
scribed by DiOdorus, have been recog.
missed in the mound called FL Rnsr. In
1855 Sir Henry RAwllnson carried with
! him to England many relics Of ancient
Babylon, all Of which are now in the
British Museum. The town OF Zitlah,
with 1000 inhabitants, is now consider.
ed the modern representative OF ancient
Babylon. AS for Thebes, the ruins COM
prise nine townships. Recent excaM-
tions have brought 10 light these con-
structions OF the eleventh dynasty, al.
though the most Aourishing period Of
the history Of Thebes was under the
eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth
dynasties. The Nile flows through the
midst Of the ancient city. 1t is now in
habited only by few Arab families or
Fellaheen, who make Il living by guiding
travellers over the ruins. Tyre existed,
amid oil its destructive experiences, un-
til A. d. 1916, when the conquest oil
Selim, together with the newly discoy-
cred route to Asia by the Cape Of Good
Hope, put an end to its wealth and COM
merce. Among its ruins from 5000 to
1000 inhabitants now dwell and earn a
livelihood by exporting tobacco, cotton,
wool and wood. Nineveh was destroyed
by fire about Cos B. c., and the slabs
and statues found there show the effect
OF intense heat. The excavations OK,
hibit many bas-reliefs representing war
aud hunting. The discoveries Of Lay.
ard anil others in the neighborhocd Of
Mosul, the supposed site Of Nineveh, since
1889, have in u manner disinterred aud
repeopled city which, for centuries,
had seemed to be blotted from the map
of the earth. In ls47, Layard published
his "Nineveh and its Remains" and in
1853 gave an account OF his second visit.
The three principal pyramids are situa,
ted on rock at the foot Of some higL
mountains which bound the Nile. The
first building Of them was commenced
it is supposed, about 1900 B. G. The
greatest is said to have been erected BY

TAME CoDF1sH.-Mr. Buckland, in a
recent number Of Lind and Water, gives
IN interesting account OF a visit paid by
him to pond containing tame Goldfish
at Port Logan, Wigtonshire. The prop.
crty in question belongs to q gentleman
by the name Of McDougnll, and consists
Of an nmpitheatre about one hundred
feet in diameter, followed out OF the
solid rock by the sea. All egress from
this is prevented by a barrier Of loose
stones, through which water passes
freely. On approaching the shore Of
the pond Goldfish Of great size were
seen and when servant woman who
had charge Of the fish approached with
some mussels, the surface Of the water
was perfectly alive with struggling fish.
They came TO the edge, and after n
little while permitted Mr.. Buckland to
scratch them on the back, and play
with them in various ways. Among
other experiments tried by him was that
Of holding Q mussel in his hand, and
allowing the Ash to swallow his hand in
the effort made to obtain the mussel.
These fish furnish the proprietor an am
pie supply OF excellent food, the flavor
being considered much superior to that
OF the cod taken in the open sea. When.
ever needed for the table, selection
can readily be made from the most prom.
ising Of those at hand, and the 6Sh Sc
