EGYPTs SCATTERED OBELIsKs.

Thirty obelisks transported from
Egypt from time to time are now stand
ing in various parts of Europe. OF
these there are in Rome eleven, of which
four are higher than the New York
obelisk. The highest Of these and the
highest in Europe, being 1O6 feet with
out the base, stands before the church
of st. John Lateran. The obelisk in
the piazza of st. Peters is eighty-two
feet nine inches high. Both of these
were mounted on high pedestals. The
pedestal of the st. John Lateran obelisk
is forty-four feet high, making the en-
tire height of obelisk and pedestal $50
feet. The pedestal of the st. Pete, s
obelisk Is trife less than fifty feet
high, making the whole height of the
monument 1872 feet 2 inches. If Com
mander Gorringe had brought with him
the entire pedestal on which the New
York obelisk stood at Alexandria, about
the same proportion wonld he observed as
those of the st. John Lateran obelisk,
the pedestal of the former being twenty
seven feet and one inch, and its pedestal
sixty eight feet and eleven inches,
making the whole height of our obelisk
ninety-six feet.

Il PRETTY HEALTHY FAMILK.

With the exception of the Roseberry
espousals, the Rothschild family have
interbred in the closest manner, until
one would think that, according to the
rules of consanguinity, all the damages
arising from such family alliances would
become manifest. The public must by
this time be very tired of the story of
the origin of this family, who, from the
humblest beginnings in the Jews quar-
ter of Frankfort, became, by dint of
brains, honesty and luck, the Cresuses
of the European world. The element
of luck may or may not have had much

to do with the social elevation of these
Bemitic millionaires, but the late Presi-
dents words in regard to the fckleness
of fortune are worthy of record: "Luck
is an ig'aiS-fatuws you may follow it to
ruin, but never to success" That the
Rothschilds are long-headed men, only
the few are aware of who enter into
business relations with them, but that
they are large-hearted, liberal and chari-
table, all the world knows. They are
great patrons of art, and with their
enormous wealth are always buying
what are the finest and rarest Of esthetic
treasures. Possibly this man had more
culture than the original stock, for the
present off-shoots enjoy an excellent
reputation for literary and artistic intel
igence.

4 Very Old Fisherman.

Henry Jenkins caught fish in the riv-
ers and off the coast of England for lao
years, and was probably the Oldest
fisherman who ever lived. He was born
at Bolton-upon-Swale, in England, in
1900 and died in 1910.
A couple of lines written at that time
tell us that,
He lived longer than men who we're stronger,
And was too old to live any longer.
l have seen picture of this old man,
with his keen, black eyes, handsome
nose and mouth, and flowing beard.
When he was II years old he was sent
with horse-load of arrows for the battle
of Floddenfeld." If you turn to your
history of England or Scotland, you will
find all about that great battle between
the English and Scots.
AS there were no public schools, and
very few other schools in the small
country towns of England in those days,
q boy who was born poor had very little
chance of getting an education, and
Henry Jenkins, like many other poor
boys, could neither read nor write.
He was bright, industrious boy, and
when very young got his living by
thatching houses and cottages, and
salmon-ishing.
At one time, when young man, he
was butler to Lord Conyers, Of Hornby
Castle, who often sent him with a mes
sage to his noighbor. the Lord Abbott,
Of fountains.
The Lord Abbott took a fancy to the
young butler, and often got him to stay
to dinner with his servants, and ordered
him quarter of q yard Of roast beef fol
dinner, and great black jack of drink.
At the monasteries in those days they
always gave their guests meat by
measure.
Many wonderful things happened
during Henry's long life. Three Queens
were beheaded Anne Boleyn, Catherine
Howard, and Mary, Queen of Scots. A
King of Spain ruled over England; and
King of Scotland was crowned King ol
England at Westminster. Toward the
last of his life the dreadful plague oi
London broke out, and that was followed
by the Great Fire.
But don't think any Of us would want
to live 169 years. And perhaps the
poor old fisherman sometimes wished
the Lord would take him home, for al
his friends and neighbors had died long
ago.
At last he "begged up and down,
through his native town and the villages
round, till Dec. 6, 1910, when he died
and was buried in the Bolton church
yard, near Richmond, Yorkshire.
A small pillar was set up over his
grave, and if you ever go to Bolton yor
| will find in the old church monument
which was erected to his memory nearly
ahundred years after his death, and en-

THE GROWTH OF THE SHOTGUN.

Hunting for game was practiced with
bow and arrow only, until in the six
teenth century the Spaniards contrived
the arcebus or matchbox. Here the
match was fitted to serpentine" or
cock hung upon O pivot, and brought
into contact with the priming by a
working substantially the same as that
of the modern hammer and trigger.
This was further improved by the Ger
man invention of a steel wheel with
serrated edge, fitted to spring, and
made to revolve rapidly, the edge COM
ing in contact with piece of pyrites,
and, by this friction, producing the
sparks to ignite the priming. The use
of the wheel-lock for sporting purposes
was very general in the middle of the
sixteenth century, and for long time it
was not improved upon.
But necessity is the mother of inven-
ton. A band of Dutch chicken-steal-
ers, or of Spanish marauders-it is dis
puted which being too poor to provide
themselves with the high-priced wheel
lock, and afraid to use the matchbox
because its light revealed their where

enough to devise weapon better
adapted to the needs of roost-robbers.
The result was the fint-lock, and the
pot-hunting fraternity scored long

The flint-lock reached its perfection
in the hands of "that King of gun
Makers" John Mantin, in the early
part OF the present century, and il gave
way only to a worthy superior in the
modern gun exploded by percussion.
The discovery of Eliminating powders
and their application to gunnery mark a
most important epoch in the manufact-
ure and employment of firearms. The
charge in the gun was at first placed
above the Illuminating powder, which
was ignited by the conclusion Of an koa
plunger struck by cock. Then Shis

HOW TO JUDGE DI4MONDS.

A Chicago man, who claims to be a
diamond expert, gives to the Tribune,
of that city, the following information,
which owners of gems may be interested
in: "There are great many so-called
solitaires sold as single stones, which,
when put under the blow-pipe, will
come apart in single pieces, put together

market. Nearly all are OF off color,
specked or feathered. Very few 'old-

she presently returned still smiling,

John made the answer he thought

wilderment settled between his eyes
"But don't see, Betty, what this
thing, laying one finger on the gown,
chad to do with the sigh"
"That," said Betty. and then she
broke into merry laugh, that got so
mixed up with the dimples and the
dancing brown eyes that for a moment
she could not finish. ooh, John,

QUE JUVENILES.

Sir William Napier, one bright day,
Was walking down the glen
A noble English soldier,
And the handsomest of men.
Through fields and fragrant hedge-rows
He slowly wandered down
To quiet Freshford village,
By pleasant Bradford town.
With look and mien magnificent,
And step 80 grand moved he,
And from his stately front outshone
Beauty and majesty.
About his strong white forehead
The rich locks thronged and curled,
Above the splendor of his eyes,
That might command the world.
sound of bitter weeping
Came up to his quick ear;
He paused that instant, bending
His kingly head to hear.
Among the grass and daisies
Sat wretched little Joan,
And near her lay bowl of def,
Broken upon a stone.
Her cheeks were red with crying
And her blue eyes dull and dim,
And she turned her pretty, woful face,
All tear-stained, up to him.
Scarce six years old, and sobbing
In misery so dear!
Why, what's the matter, Posy?"
He said-' Come, tell me, dear"
It's Fathers bowl I've broken;
Twas for his dinner kept ~
/ took it safe, but coming back -
1t fell"-again she wept.
But you can mend it, can't you"
Cried the despairing child
With sudden hope, as down on her,
Like some kind god, he smiled.
"Don't cry, poor little Posy!
1 cannot make it whole,
But L can give you sixpence
To buy another bowl"
He sought in vain for silver
In purse and pockets, too, ::
And found but golden guineas y
He pondered what to do
"This time tomorrow, POsy,"
He said, "again come here, ::
And will bring your sixpence.
promiseI Never fear!"
Away went Joan rejoicing
A rescued child was She
And home went good Sir William,
And to him presently
footman brings letter
And low before him bends:
"Will not Sir William come and dine
Tomorrow with his friends?"
The letter read: "And we've secured
The man among all men
You wish to meet. He will be here
You will not fail us then?"
Tomorrow Could he get to Bath
And dine with Dukes and Earls,
And back in time? That hour was pledged
1t was the little girls!
He could not disappoint Der,
He must his friends refuse,
So "previous engagement"
Was pleaded as excuse.
Next day when she, all eager,
Came DER the fields so fair,
As sure as of the sunrise
That she should find him there,
He met her, and the sixpence
Laid In her little hand.
Her woe was ended, and her heart
The lightest in the land.
How would the stately company,
Who had so much desired
His presence at their splendid feast,
Have wondered and admiredi
AS soldier, scholar, gentleman,
His praises oft are heard
Twas not the least of his great deeds
So to have kept his word!
