HUNKUM HILL.

used to gaze on Hunkum Hill
And think it very high.
And one Of natures mighty props
That help hold up the sky.
One day toddled up its side
And stood upon its top,
And then learned the sky must rest
Upon some other prop.
And then 1 saw it just beyond.
Another hin much higher,
Its summit mingled with the sky,
All fused with sunset fire.
''That hills a button on the earth,''
Said L to little John:
1.-THE great sky spreads its buttonhole
And then it bitches on"
One day climbed the other hill,
And found with heavy heart
The button and the buttonhole
Were very far apart.
But there against the crimson west
Another hill was seen,
"A mighty spangled cushion where
The big sky loved to lean.
And so I've kept on climbing hills
From busy day to day;
But from the topmost peaks I find
The sky is far away.
In spite of many tumbles, still
This sermon I would preach:
Life's greatest fun is grasping for
The things we cannot reach.

The Cap of Liberty.

1 have often been asked why the 'Lib-
erty Cap" is used in American illustrations.
when it originated and why it was adopted.
At first was inclined to give the subject
no particular attention. and really never did
give it serious thought until good fortune
put United States cent of 1898 in my
hands. In this rare piece the head of Lib
erty is turned to the left. She has pole
across her left shoulder. surmounted by
c0nical poke. which is intended for Lib
erty Cap. Here indeed was an oddity.

ing to my Dictionary of Phrase and Fable
ian odd place to look, sure. for Liberty
Cap is neither phrase nor fable) found
the following under the head of ''Cap of
Liberty" 1.-THE Goddess of Liberty in the
Aventine Mount was represented as holding
in her hand cap the symbol of freedom.
In France the JacObins wore red cap; in
England blue cap with white border is a
symbol of liberty. and Britannia issOmetimes
represented as holding such cap on the
point of her spear"
Here was some pointers, but no real in
formation as to the origin of the symbol.
Delving deeper into ''volumes of forgotten
lore." found that the cap was symbol of
liberty and freedom in the time of the Ro-
man emperOrs. When the Romans manu-
mitted slave his head was adorned with
small red cloth cap. AS soon as that was
done he was known as a libertnus. or freed
man. and his name was registered among
others of the city's ''tribes." In the year
1858. when Saturninus invaded the capital,
he hoisted a cap on the point of his spear.
to indicate that all slaves who rallied around
his standard should be free. When Marius
melted the slaves to take up arms against
Sylla. he employed the same symbol, and
when Caesar was murdered the cOnspirat0rs
marched forth in body with cap elevated
on spear, In token of liberty.

TethOds of French Writers.

which the great French authors do, or have
done. their work. Victor Hugo. for in

ing off sheet after sheet as fast as he filled
it, till he would be quite showed up in
leaves of foolscap. He often rose in the
middle of the night to note down an idea
or verse. He got up for the day usually
at o'clock, and would devote from six to
eight hours per diem to his work. He made
but few corrections. his poems being
thought out complete in his brain before he
put pen to paper. 1t is well known fact
that he induIged in the arduous task of COM
position while traversing the streets of
Paris on the top of an omnibus. When
working out some great conception he
would spend hours in this way.
The elder Dumas used to begin work by
taking off his coat. He would then roll his
shirt sleeves up to the elbows and would
seat himself at his writing table. covering

for large and massive pieces of furniture,

a lion.
