The architect Ni0llet-le-Duc was one
day on the Schwarzenberg glacier, at a
height Of about 1900 feet, accompanied
by Baptiste, the guide. who marched in
front. The two men were attached to
each other by a rope. as is usual in Al
pine mountaineering.
The guide had passed over a crevasse
but when NJ. Niollet-le-Duc attempted
TO cross it he failed and fell into the
abyss. The guide tried 70 pull him ont.
but instead he found himself gradually
descending.
The architect perceived that his COM
panion, If he persisted in the attempt 70
save him, would surely share his fate.
and he asked if Baptiste had family.
"A wife and children" was the an
swer.
"Then," said Viollet-le-Duc quietly.

ON SOME FORGOTTEN POEMS.

Dead rhymes are here that no man comes to
read.
Dead as the flowers that robed the maiden
Spring
To we'd with Summer when the streams were
freed
And an the birds began to nest and sing.
II some one piucked the flowers and laid them
hy
Between the prim white pages that hold.
The crushed and faded leaves would dim the
eye
And leave tho yearning heart uncheered and
cold.
But, sweeter flowers OF rhyme. amid the gloom
And silent dust Of all the silent shelves.
You keep your glory and your primal bloom
And live, II not for others. for yourselves.
And when ! chance TO open wide the page,
Behold. your beauty breaks upon the earth.
And all the splendor OF a buried age
Is born again with glad. immortal birth.
And happy may hear the master hand
Sweep down the Tyre and wake each vibrant
chord
That swells with glory OF sweeter land.
Where life was hope aud love alone was lord.
So lei tho cover close the page grow gray
Amid the dust where no eye comes to see.
My heart alone the song shall hold and sway
The poets dream shall wake a world for me-

rhe Romans Did Not use soan.

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap, but they
employed an alkali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny, but the cheapest
solvent was urine, which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs. The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor of sulphur,
being stretched on a frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
Of lupins, called lomentum, which, with
common meal, is still used in some
places for that purpose. .-Knowledge

To read of brigandage in Italy makes
one doubt if this can be the Nineteenth
century. Here is a country, one Of the
Oldest seats of European civilization,
where the first requisite of stable gov
ernment, security of life and property,
is wanting. The country groans under
the financial burden of an army and
navy big enough for a vast empire, and
yet the troops appear to be so busy look
ing for an invader on the northern from
tier that they cannot suppress the rob
bers and murders of the interior. The
authorities should reduce the army and
hire police force.-Toronto Globe.

There is one radical difference between
men and women that "lt may be said
generally of novelists, that men know
more than they tell. and women tell
more than they know" It may be true
Of nove1ists. In real life neither tells all
he or she knows, and the difference
shows in what they keep.
A woman tells the thing that is not
vital She viii tell some one almost
every detail of her daily life, but let her
bave heart story, and she not only
keepsi it locked in, but she lives as though
1t had no existence.
A man scorns to relieve his mind of
little worries by asking for sympathy.
But let great secret come into his life
-he dies unless he tells it to some QUE.
He will do it even when it brings him in
the shadow of death or bitterest dis
grace.-Charles Dudley Warner in Har-
nor's

A native Of India was sitting in his
garden when loud chattering an.
uounced the arrival of a large party of
monkeys, which forthwith proceeded to
make meal off his fruits. Fearing the
loss of his entire crop, he fetched his
fowling piece. and, to frighten them
away, fired it off, as he thought, over
the heads of the chattering crew. They
all fed away, but, he noticed, left behind
upon bough, what looked like one
fallen asleep. with its head resting upon
its arms.
AS it did not move, he sent a servant
up the tree. who found that it was dead.
having been shot through the heart.
He had it fetched down and buried be-
meath the tree, and on the morrow he
saw sitting upon the little mound the
mate of the dead monkey. 1t remained
there for several days bewailing its loss.

Why Some Babies Crv.

A great many babies cry out of pure
cussedness. They have no reason what
ever. have seen them stop playing to
begin TO howl, refusing both food and
drink. Often child will wake up, be-
gin crying, and fall off to sleep again.
Babies show individuality, and cry just
as adults gr1mble, scold, lecture, bang
things about and swear. There may or
may not be cause for the outburst, but
there is a certain amount of relief which
has a physiological if not moral value
