CbeyInS Orders.

The scene of one OF my fathers sto-
RES was laid in Southern seaport
town, where, long ago, a general and an
admiral were nelghbors. The general :
house was fronted by grass plat. on
which he claimed the right to pasture q
COW. One day his wife complained that
the supply of milk was falling short.
The sentinel accounted fer the deticieu-
cv by saying that the pasture had lately
been much trodden down by the public.
Thereupon the martial despot gave or
Gers that no jhuman or other animal
except the COW should be allowed on
the grass plat, and added that i: this
rule was infringed the sentinel should
be logged. Soon afterward the admi-
rails wife, having a pressing engage
ment, took short cut over the grass in
disregard of the sentinei's repeated or

On the night of the 18th of November,
wrapped in dense fog. 1t had come
on about in the afternoon, and had
rapidly increased in density until
locomotlon became almost impossible.
AS the warehouses and shops closed
their shutters the last rays OF light
seemed to vanish from the thorough
fares, and the cries Of belated wayfsrers
were heard in every direction. The
omnibuses has ceased running at 7
o'clock. Here and there a cabman,
preceded by men with flaming torches,
endeavored 10 convey fare, who
offered an exorbitant price, to a rail way
station or to his home, but the task was
one both of difficulty and of danger,
difficulty because it wasimpossible even
Dv the ard of the torches to recognize
streets or turnlngs -danger, because
the cab was as often on the pavement
as Oft 1t.
1t was about O'Clock in the evening
when Capt George Carlyon, OF the
Cape Mail Service, found himself, to the
best of his relief in Hyde Park. A man
With whom he had coliided hal told
him that he was in Hyde Park, and that
if he kept straight on and Rugged the
rails, he would presently find himself
at the Marble Arch.
Cant. Carlyon lad arrived that day
with his ship at the West India Docks.
On the voyage home u peculiar advent
ure had befallen him. A few days after
they mad left Natal, saloon passenger
had requested an interview with him.
The passenger was young man, OF
gentle manly manners, who had taken
his berth in the name OF Robert
Howard. Mr.. Howard, when he came
on board seemed very unweli. lie had
not appeared at the public table once,
alleging indispositlon, and he had re-
manned continually IN his cabin. When
\ Capt. Carlyon received Mr. Howard's
message lie went 10 hun and found him
in state Of great depression.
Captain" lie said, Il have a pre-
sentiment that shall not live to reach
England. ii | do not, wish you to
deliver all the property about me, to-
gether with letter which ! will give
you, to relative of mine in London.
Will you ease my mind by undertaking
this task for me ,"
"My dear SIR" replied the captain
Il am sorry 10 find you a prey to such
gloomy forebodings. Let me send the
doctor to see you.

"that if that person up stairs plays an
other tune he will not execute It nearly
SO correctly as this one is played.'

did not think it possible that he could
know more about the likelihood of such
an event than | did. and the player
seemed to finger The keys very skilful-
ly. But it happened just as he predict
ed and lost my bet. The player be-
gan tune in +, and every time that +
occurred played it natural instead of
fiat.
When | asked my friend how he hap
pened to guess so shrewdlr, he SAID:
why it is simple enough. The first
tune played WAS Martyr, sometimes
called Mary, to the Savior's Tomb,
from the HYMN commonly sung TO ii,
and, being simple to lem and easy 10
play, it is the almost universal fayorlle
to such as play a little by ear or have
picked up a little music, ana when they
can cain access TO an instrument they
begin with that tune TO show their skill.
Then, getting little polder, they launch
ont in some other tune a little more diff
ticult, which they cannot pay without
making mistakes" Subsequent obser-

Afraid Of Bats.

| There are few people who are not
afraid of bats. They are looked upon
as birds Of ill-omen, vampires that will
drain the tide OF life if they can fasten
| upon you, harbincers Of coming evil.
| Yet they are tangible things, and can
be killed by single blow. They have
! far moro rcacon to fcar our spccIos than
we have to fear them. Being unen-
dowed with reason, they have no SUI
perstitions TO contend with, but instinct
warns them against their nemies.
| They are not aware of the dread they
| inspire IN creatures of monstrous pro-
portions from their point Of view;
| doubtless they would attack Us in
sHarms, and not sngly, il they were.
| But there there are other evil agencies
abroad of which we have no fear, be-
cause they are intangi bic, which, ii took

WEALTHY AUTHORS.
Literary Men Of Paris Who Have No Need
to Repine.

Some interesting figures have been
published as to the popularity and pro-
fit of French authors of note, and from
these it appears that 100, 900 copies OF
NJ. Zola's "Debacle" have now been sold
in less than three months, says Paris
letter. This number has, however,
been beaten by M. Georges. Ohnets
''Maitre de Forges," the publishers of
which easily got rid of 100000 copies in
a short space of time. Alexandra
Dumas, the elder, is still popular, de-
spite the attempts made to dethrone
him by realist and psychological
writer's NJ Alexandra Dumas fills re-
ceives about 80, 900 per annum as his
share in the profits accruing from the
publication of his fathers works The
works of Alphonse Karr and Henri
Murger are likewise bought up with
avidity by the public.
Returning to NJ. lola, he has, it ap-
pears, received e12, 900 for the publica-
ton as feuilletons of nineteen volumes.
By the publication in book form of his
novels M. lola has netted e32, 600. The
great realistic writer is supposed to
have gained, reckoning both authors
and translator's rights, about $50, 600 in
twenty years. His theatrical fees were
s12, 900 for 'L'Assommoir, the other
sums received under this head being
comparatively insignificant.

How to Light Solid Body.

Cadogan Morgan was the first cleo
trician to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was in 1873. lie
first inserted two wires into stick Of
wood and caused the spark TO pass be
tween them. This had the effect Of
illuminating the stick beautiful blood
red. An ivory ball, an orange or an
apple may be lighted in the same man
ner. Some experimenters prefer the
lemon for this purpose, it being very
susceptible to the electric discharge,
flashing forth at every spark as
spheroid Of brilliant golden light. The
wires used for this purpose should be
brought within about half an inch OF
each other inside the lemon.

No SpooninS In the Grecian Isles.

Describing marriage customs IN kaso,
one of the most southern islands OF
Greece, E. NJ. Edmonds, in the Eastern
and Western Review, says the parents
upon both sides take upon themselves
all the responsibilities of courtship and
marriage. Courtship, as we understand
it, is not in any way permitted to the
betrothed couple. No moonlight walks
or tete-a-tetes are allowed. Such a
course would be deemed highly repre-
hensible, and all wooing, if there be
any, must take place in the presence OF
the elders; but there is no great time
for repining at these DEGREES of custom,
for the marriage follows the offer as
quickly as may be.

SLAVERY IN OLD ENGLAND.
The System Not Entirely Abolished Wen
On In the seysntecnth Century.

On In the Seventeenth Century
Slavery in England was Of very
ancient standing. Caesar states that 1t
existed as an institution among the
Celts, and in Roman England the con-
quered natives were held IN state OF
serfdoIn. In Saxon and early Nor
man times the children of the old Eng
lish peasantry and captives taken in
war were sold like cattle in Bristol
market and many were exported TO
Scotland and Ireland. 'DOoIneday
book" states that the slaves numbered
twenty-five thousand. Soon after the
conquest the distinct slave class ceased
to exist and the slaves were merged
with the lower class Of ceorls under the
general designation OF villeins. The
villeins in early feudal times were an
nexed TO the land and were devisable
as goods and chattels, but in process OF
time the higher class Of villeins gained
a title to the land on which they
worked, and after the reign Of Richard
II. we find little reference to villeinage.
Although the church had early succeed
ed in putting an end to the English
slave traffic by the canon OF the council
of 1902, slavery was never abolished by
any positive enactment; and, according
to the Brooklyn Eagle, it was not till
1860 that the last remnants Of the
feudal system were finally swept away.
Slavery vas abolished, but slavery did
not cease, for until the time of George
III. GOLFERS were bought and sold, and
if they left the estate to which they be-
longed were brought back by force. It
was not till the year 1878 that an act
was passed by which they were declared
free and were put on the same footing
as other servants

The Wonders of Reproduction.

Aphides are a species of minute insect
belonging to the order of Hemiptera,
suborder Homoptera, and, taken col
lectively, 100 of them would hardly
weigh grain. Now, let US try com
parison. The average man, we will
saw. weighs about {, 200, 900 grains. Yet
it has been found, by actual calcula-
ton, that if these minute insects were
left unchecked to only the tenth gen
Grafton, the descendants of single
pair would be equivalent, in point OF
actual weight, to SOC, 100000 very heavy
men. This would be equal to one-thlrd
of the population of the globe, suppos-
ing each person to weigh an average OF
$50 pounds

GREAT MAP OF THE WORLD.
4 Production in Which All the Leading
Nations Are to Take Part.

At the geographical congress in Berne
a wear ago Prof. Penck proposed the
publication of a map of the entire
world on uniform scale of one in
f 0.3C8O. or about sixteen statute miles
IN the inch, the various nations to take
mart in the production of the map. The
nrop0eition was favorably entertained,
and q committee was appointed to take
steps for its realization. The geog-
,.a,r1crs Of various nations, on the
whole, have received the idea with IA
vor. and there seems to be no doubt
that the map will be produced.
Each sheet of the map, says the New
York sun. no to the 60 degrees north
iafi-u,r viii embrace degrees in each
detection. The more northern sheets
win embrace 10 degrees Of longitude
The representation of the whole earth,
including the sea, will require 936 of
these sheets, while the land alone may
be shown on 100 sheets. 1t is pro-
posed to give great attention to
phv,ical and political features. DR..
Havgnstcin, the English mapmaker,
say, the rivers will be in blue
and the hills in brown. Contour lines
VII be drawn at elevations of 100, 800,
son and ! POO meters and the areas in
closed by them are to be tinted. 1t is
expected that sheets which deal with
countries already geographically sur
vevcd viii be engraved on copper. The
remaining sheets will probably be lth-
om8phcd. The Greenwich meridian
will be accepted for the entire map, and
all attitudes are to be marked in meters.
The official spelling of all countries
u~.ug the Latin alphabet is to be re
tanned. Other alphabets are to be trans
liberated in aCc~Ordance with a system
IT, ua agreed upon, while names in un'
written languages will be spelled
Fl,ueticauy. 1t is estimated that the
Gust of an edition of 1000 copies of this
neup showing only the land surface
will bn @J51,I4 and as the sale of The
fir edition at shillings a sheet would
pr luce only S418, 595, the deficit would
base - be made upby the governments
concerned or by liberal private patrons
Prof 'Ravensteip- says he sees nothing
UtoDian in the scheme. Difficulties may
arise as to the spelling of the names
and the introduction of the meter, but
the essential thing, to his mind, is the
production of a map on uniform scale

A Deft-Fingered blacksmith.

At Norristown, Me-, w. B. Logan, a
horseshoer, made nine miniature horse
shoes from the metal contained in one
silver dime. Each shoe has the num-
Der of holes usually found in horse
shoes Of the ordinary size, but, strange
to say, the smallest cambria needle is
TOO large to be used as nails in these
immature wonders. Logan has made
affidavit that every one of these tinv
silver crescents were made with the
same hammer and punch used in MAX
ing shoes for the largest sized horses.
How 1t was ever done is a MYSTERY
