OF GENERAL INTEREST.

1T is estimated that If the Atlantic
ocean could be drained off the wealth
living around loose on the bottom would
figure I'D billion of dollars and more.
AT Auburn, Cal, woman was
watching her hens which were scratch
ing in the garden, when she saw them
unearth bright object and try their
bills upon it. She took it into the house
and it proved to be a chunk OF gold
worth ffty-seven dollars.
"A Brooklyn lawyer invited some
clients who called upon him out to lunch.
When they got their bill for legal SER
vices they found four dollars added to 1T
for the meal. but they took good care
not to pay it and the over-shrewd dis
ciple of blackstone has not, up to the
present, sued.
"A freak in the way of handwriting
has Just come under notice. A little girl
of four years writes with her left hand,
and writes her words backward, as they
are reflected in mirror from ordinary
writing. Her friends have to read them
by means of looking glass. The child
was taught writing with sister, but
would do things in her own way, with
the result that she writes fuently In
this fantastic StVle.

PAY OF LEGISLATORS.
What the Statesmen Of Various Natlo
Receive for Their Services.

What the Statesmen OF Various Nations
Receive for Their Services.
Some curious statistics have just been
published concerning the salaries given
the members of Parliament in the vari-
GUS nations. To begin with, in the
United States of America the members
of both branches of Congress receive the
same amount of pay-namely, 5000 per
annum. In France it is the same-mem-
bers of each house receiving the same
Ell per day. In Belgium each member
of the Chamber of Representatives gets
Ell a month. In Denmark the mem
bers of the Landsthing each receive
about 15s. day. In Portugal the Peers
and Commons are paid the same sum,
which is about e67 year. In Sweden
the members of the Diet receive e66 for
Q session of four months, but they have
to pay fine of Us. for every days alb
sence. In Switzerland the members in
the National Council get los. per diem
and the Council of State, the lower
House, Is.
In Norway the members of the Stor-
thing receive las. per day during the
session, which usually lasts about six
weeks, but which has been extended to
that many months. In Italy the Sem
ators and Deputies are not paid at all,
but they are allowed travelling expenses
and certain other privileges. In Spain
the members of the Cortes are also un-
paid for their services, but enjoy many
advantages and immunities. In Greece
the Senators get EGO per month and the
Deputies $40. In Germany both houses
the pay is the same as in France, 81
q day.
England is the only country where
members of Parliament are not only un-
paid, but have no rights or privileges
whatever.-St Louis Republic.

MODEST DR.. PARR.
The Extraordinary Self-Conceit of an En-
glish Author.

The Extraordinary Self-Conceit of an En-
glish Author.
Authors are not, as rule, excessively
modest when the merits of their own
works are concerned; but for pure, un-
adulterated conceit DIR. Samuel Parr,
who was born January Is, 1747, has no
equal in history. He was learned man.
and wrote some things which gained for
him considerable fame, and he appre-
ciated the fact only too well. tits said
that those passages in his letters which
refer to himself in terms of high praise
would, if collected, form a good-sized
book. In 1888 Parr and Rev Henry
Homer published new edition of ssBel-
lendenus de Statu" in three volumes.
ded'""t TED respectively to Burke. Lord
North and Fox. The Latin preface was
written by Parr, who in this connection
addressed the following extraordinary
letter to Mr.. Homer: 'sWhat will Won
say, or, rather, what shall say myself
of myself? 1t is now ten o'clock at
night, and am smoking a quiet pipe
after most vehement, and, 1 think. a
most splendid effort of composition-an
effort it was, indeed; a mighty and
glorious effort, for the object of it was to
lift up Burke to the pinnacle where he
ought to have been placed before, and to
drag down Lord Chatham from that en-
inence to which the cowardice of his
hearers and the credulity of the public
had most weakly exalted the impostor
and father OF impostors. Read it. dear
Harry; read it, say, aloud; read it again
and again; and when your tongue has
turned its edge from me to the father of
Mr.. Pitt; when your ears Jingle and
ring with my sonorous periods; when
your heart glows and beats with the food
and triumphant remembrance of Ed
mund Burke-then, dear Homer. Won
will forgive me; you will love me: Won
will congratulate me, and readily will
you take upon yourself the trouble Of
printing what in writing has cost nae
much greater, though not LONGER
trouble. Old boy, tell you that no part
of the preface is better conceived or het-
ter written; none will be read moro
eagerly or felt. by those whom Won wish
to feel it, more severely. Old bow. old
boy, it is singer" Comment is snnar-

RARE COINCIDENCE.
Richard Wagner and the Figure 13-Three
Elmer EllswOrths.

Elmer EIISWOrCnS.
In searching for ''Notes for the Curl
Gus" we have unearthed two that are
quite rare, one concerning Richard Wag-
ner, the composer, and his 13s; the
other series of conincident names. 1t
is well-known fact that Wagner died
on the 18th of the month; he was born
in 1913; it takes ID letters to spell Rich
ard Wagner; his name and the sum of
the figures in 1913 equals 13; he COM
posed ID works and always declared that
he set his head on his after career on
the 18th of the month. "Tannhauser''
was completed on April 13, 1915; it was
first performed in Paris March IS, 1861
He left Bayreuth September Is, 1861.
September is the ninth month"; write
9-13 and add the three figures together,
thus: 9-1-3, and you have Is.
The other coincidence concerns the
name of E. E. Reynolds. During April,
1889, E. E. Reynolds, the Utica IN.
W music dealer, was visited by E. E.
Reynolds, of New Haven. Each &C
knowledged that his name was Elmer
Ellsworth and that he was named for
Ellsworth of Zouave fame. Each was
born the same week. The publication
of the facts brought letter from Rev.
E. E. Reynolds, of Ludlow, VT, named
the same and born the same week as the

Outside, wind and cloudy sky.
Inside, warmth and comfort lie,
Fire and light
Clean tonight
For my little one and 1.
Pussy purrs-so happy she,
Curled up on her cushion see,
Where she lies
Sleepy eyes
Watch the flames leap merrily.
Ponto in his sleep ,UiU bark,
Thinks he still must watch and bark
Lest some foe,
Ere we know,
leap upon us from the dark.
Dickybird has chirped Goodnight"
Tucked his head far out of sight
Little one,
Day Is done
For you both till morning light
For my BRIDES drowsy head
See, her dainty couch is spread,
Swinging low
To and fro
Rocks the tiny cradle bed.
Outside, wind and cloudy skies,
Inside, watched by angel eyes,
Soft and warm,
Free from harm,
Fast asleep my baby lies.

Making UP 9 Newspaper.

Of the toll which a daily newspaper
demands, of the unceasing attention it
exacts, of the judicious care it requires,
the great public of readers take no ac-
count. 1t might lead dissatisfied pur-

PUTTING BABY TO SLEEP.
Having His Stomach Well Filled Is More
Than Half the Battle.

Having His Stomach Well Filled Is More
Than Half the Battle.
A writer in the Ladies Home Maya
zine has this to say about getting baby
to sleep: Let me tell you first of all to
see that he is we'll fed: half satisfied
stomach is sure enemy to repose.
Have him warmly wrapped up, and be
sure the feet are warm, not hot or per-
spring, while the room should be rather
cool and darkened. Their brains and
eyes need darkness just as ours do, and
what refreshment do we get from sleep
with sunshine or lamplight shining into
our faces? Should you use your bed
room for your sitting and sewing-room,
be sure that the room is properly aired
before baby is put to bed for the night.
You can take him into another room,
close the register and open the windows
and doors for ten minutes or SO. The
air will be thoroughly changed by that
time. You can then close the windows
md open the register, and in short
time you can bring the little fellow
back into fresh yet warm room. If
this simple rule were oftener observed
it would save many restless night.
Having done this the matter is COM
paratively easy. If you nurse your baby
he will probably fall asleep in your
arms: if you feed him then lay him
gently down in his crib. During the
winter months have the pillow warmed
just enough to take off that unpleasant
chill of cold cotton. The chances are he
will nestle his little cheek in it and go
right to sleep.
