a great difference between them and

POmpeii.

The first thing that strikes one on
entering Pompeii is the narrOwness
of the streets. 1t finds no parallel in
any modern city except perhaps Ven
ice. The widest streets are not wider
than ordinary lanes or alleys in Ame-
rican cities, and many of them are
still narrower. OF course, the vehi-
cIes used here must have been ex-
tremely narrow between the wheels,
otherwise it would have been i'm
possible for two cbariots moving in
opposite directions TO pass each other.
The streets appear well paved with
stones and lava blocks, in which the
ruts worn by the chariot wheels may
still be seen.
As to the houses and villas, they
differ from each other in size and ele-
gance, as their owners probably did
in wealth, competence or poverty,
but still they preserve a uniform
family likeness, aud differ greatly
from our modern houses. This diff
ference is caused no doubt partly by
Chronological considerations, and
partly by the unlike habits and modes
of living among the ancients and
moderns. "a fDe house in Pom
peii," says a writer, Consists OF sew
eral inclosed spaces, some open TO
the sky, around which walls and col
onades are built. These eommunl-
cate with each other by doors and
passages. The dtrium, which Is the
principal room entered after the yes
thule, is large, and often elegantly
decorated apartment, With a square
or rectangular opening IN the roof,
which has a pitch towards the cen
tire, and under this Ope ming is sunk
en- cistern, called compluvium, into
which the rain drips. Around this
apartment or hall, like state rooms
around cabin, are ranged the sleep
Ing rooms, little, dark, narrow, con-
fined holes. without windows, reeeiv-
ing light and air only through the
door opening into the GtriuH, with
out anv of the comforts and cOnyen-
fences of modern bedroom, and Of
ten containing only rude bench,
rather than bedstead, on which the
sleeper probably threw himself with,
ont taking off the clothes he had
worn during the day. Sometimes
the bedstead consists Of rec;angu-
lar table, built Of brick aud mortar
against a wall, about three feet high.
three feet wide, and six and a hall
feet long. Sometimes one sees fresco
pa ntings on these walls representing
personal or domestic habits.
These houses seem TO have been
built for general convenience. The
family lived together in the Gtrlam,
or some corresponding apartment,
seeking the sunny side or gathering
around brasier, in winter and, IN
the summer, drawing linen shade
over the roof, and opening all the
doors for the free circulation OF air
The reason why the Pompeiian
houses are generally small. a. COM
pared with modern dwellings, may
be found in the fact that the inhabl-
tants of Pompeii, like those Of South
ern Italy to this day, lived an out
of-door life. Their time was spent
mostly at places Of public amuse-
ment-at the baths, the forum, the
theatres, ect.
As regards the decorations and
adornments of these houses, there Is

A Lan<iou Trick.

The latest dodge in London, where
the water supply is not yet Perma-
nent, is the following: A scamp en-
ters a dwelling house toward noon,
aud scares the females by snDo1ne-
ing that the main has burst, and that
be is sent by the water company TO
see that all water is Immediately
drawn from the eisterns. Every avail
able tub, pail and uteDsil is immedi-
ately requisitioned, for the fellow
tells them that they will not have
drop Of water for the next forty
eight hours. While the servants are
busy fulfilling bis orders be pockets
every valuable within bis reach, and

fires 10 the house to be put out.

! NEW YEAR TOPICS
New Year calls will be paid with
less ceremony this year than for
many years before. In fact the fash
ionables mourn the small and quiet
ways in which everything is done
They are afraid that the world in
its exaggerated reverence for every
thing old-fasbioned 10 the centennial
year may 60 back to the custom Of
doing without wedding tuurs, and
that the brides of next season will be
unceremoniously marched 10 their
new homes and begin married life
without so much as trip to Niagara,
and to take their Paris tour out in
round of teaparties through the hon
ey moon, as their grandsathers and |
grandmothers did hundred years
ago Truth c1mpels me to say that /
the Paris trip would be the cheaper
in the end, for there used to be
deep complaints Of old that tfese
festivities preyed heavily upon the
pockets of all concerned, aud more
than one good tradesman was ruined
by having too much company. But
spite of the money pressure and the
fancy for simple ways, we hear Of
ladies receiving in blue and maroon
velvet gowns, that the fashionable
gowns for receiving calls on
New Year day will be of blue and
maroon velvet, with trimmings Of
the new Genoa point which is a sort
of 6ne honiton lace with net ground,
which my lady readers will recOg-
nize as new departure in lace.
Yellow and blue diamonds, and cam
eos which require the most exquisite
creations Of art in their subjects, will
be the approved jewels to wear with
these elegant toilets The fine world

tion of supplying wines and spiritu-
Gus beverages to callers. Not a few

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WRITE
by FRANCIS S. SMITH.


oh, wealthy, toil-worn merchant,
With ever busy brain,
While pouring ore thy ledger
And counting loss and gain,
When tradesmen are complaining
And money'svery light,
If asked for your endorsement,
Be careful what you write.
And you, excited lover,
Whose heart wells Ger with sighs,
Whose brain is dazed with gazing
In a pair OF roguish eyes
If you're impelrd by Cupid
missive to indite,
When you sit down 10 pen your thoughts
BE careful what you write.
and thou, oh, wealthy grsybeard-
A widower, mayhap-
Entraneed by some gay widow
Who set at you her cap
Should she send you letter
Which nils You with delight,
When you essay an answer.
Be careful what you write.
And let me caution thee, too,
Thou man of passions strong,
when you are writhing under
Some real or fancied wrong
And longing TO 9emolish
Your adversary quite,
By sending him letter,
BE careful what you write.
And thou, oh, busybody,
Whose never weary eye
Gicams greedily whenever
neighbours fault you spy,
Your specious inuendoes
May safely speak your spite,
But if you'd 'seape lawsuit,
BE careful what you write.
And thou, oh, gifted author,
Whose ready, fae;le pen
Develops scenes and incidents
Which thrill thy fellow mer-
Let reason and morality
Control thy fancy's fight
Saynothing which may foster sin
BE careful what you write.
The memory of idle words
Perhaps may pass away
The evil they engender
BE forgotten in day;
But once in print, they may appear,
Some guileiess soul to blight,
When YOU have mouldered into dust
BE careful what you write.
Oh, ye who wieli the mighty pen!
Thrice happy is his lot
Who living, never wrote line
That, dying, he would blot
No terrOrs Of the dread beyond
Can such a soul alright
Then We who furnish mental food,
BE careful what you write.

A TeIegraphic Bull.

The accurate telegraphic operator
hath his bulls no less renowned than
those of the intelligent compositor, and
one of the oldest of these was perpe-
trated in Paraguay toward the close of
the reign of Lopez. Wanting few men
to move forward piece of artillery, the
Dictator despatched an order to the
authorities of an inland department to
have five or six recruits ready for the
third morning thereafter. The operator
read for "5 6" recruits, 1906 re-
crnits, and so transmitted the message.
The authorities were in despair, for the
rigorous conscription during the long
war had left scarcely anything but wo-
men and the sick and old, but Lopez
orders were usually obeyed implicitly
by people who cared for their throats,
and they secured the country night ana
day, till on the third morning they pre-
sented to the Dictator's astonished view
an array of $50 males, lame, halt and
blind. torn from the cradle and the grave
and deprecating his wrath for the non.
fulfillment of his orders, explained that
there was not another male in the prov
ince who could walk.
