Where Carlyle and Ruskin Differed.

Thomas Carlyle was devotee to the
pipe, and he vainly sought to break off
the fascination He is said to have
smashed no less than thirteen ''cutties
on the hearthstone of his Eeclefechan
cottage. with the vow that he would
smoke no more But as sure as the
next day came he would be found puff
ing at new one.
Tobacco smoke" lie writes. lis the
one element in which by our European
manners men can sit silent together
without embarrassment, and when nc
man is bound to speak one word more
than he has virtually and actually got
to say"
Ruskin, however. who aped Carlyle in
so many things, has never initiated him
in this. A great pity, for Carlyle found
that it tranquilized irritability. Why
should not Ruskin have found the
salnel Indeed Ruskin's gravamer
against the cigar is that it enables sc
many people to pass their time happily
in idleness. Truly, a blessing instead

A Maine family consists of six broth
ers so exactly alike that no one but
their closest friends can tell which is
which. One day they happened to be
in a strange town and all wanted a
shave One of them went into bar
Der shop, was shaved and paid the Gus
tomary ten cents. Five minutes later
apparently the same man came back
into the shop very wrathy, his beard
bristling with a three days growth.
lie swore that he had not been half
shaved, and demanded that the work
be done over
The astonished barber apologized
and complied, but judge of his horror
when not ten minutes later his custom
er came back madden than ever, his
beard still showing on his face, and de-
manded another shave. Again the
barber, after some protest, complied,
but when his man returned the fourth
time it was too much.
See herei" he cried, ''if you're try
ing to sell me some patent hair raiser
I'll take your whole stock, but if you
are an escaped museum freak either
you've got to get out or I'll have tt
close this shop"

1t is not Ceylon and Assam only that

1t seems to be common quality of

Troup, will have nothing to do with

Biologists are agreed that the interior
of the earth is largely composed OF
metals Whereas the surface matter OF
the planet weighs only about two and
one-half times as much as water, It Is
known as fact that toward the center
the average weight Of things is eleven
times that OF water. This is due to the
circumstance that while this sublunary
orb was cooling and condensing the
heavier particles sought the middle.
Therefore it is probable that the great
mass of the sphere is iron.
But there are other metals more
heavy than iron, and these would nat
urally form an accumulation hnmedi-
ately about the center of the globe.
Among them may be mentioned, a.
most important, gold Geologist Gilbert,
of the geological survey, said the other
day that he would rather expect to find
vast accumulation of gold at that
point than anywhere else, his notion
being that such of the yellow metal as
is found on the surface of the earth is
only an accidental detritus
However, there are two or three sub
stances known even more weighty than
gold, and one of them is platinum,
which has doubled in market value
within the last year or two, owing to
the increased cost of production.

An old custom Don. Away with.

One of the things good many of us
were taught at the nursery table was to
use bit of bread, ''pusher," most
children call it, when something on our
plate that ought to go on a fork would
not. This was almost as sacred tenet
of table manners as that bread should
not be bitten from the slice. 1t is some.
thing of blow to read from presume
bly, good authority that this is bar
barism almost as bad as eating in ones
gloves. People who persist in breaking
down good established laws should at
least offer some good substitute; if the
woman who says We must not ecurry
round after some slippery peas or elu-
sive spinach with a morsel of bread, as
valuable assistant tells us what we
must do, all will be forgiven. Her

Musical Sounds and Noise.

1t is curious fact that musical sounds
fly farther and are heard at greater
distance than those which are more loud
and noisy Ii we go on the outside OF II
town during fair, at the distance OF a
mile we hear the musical instruments
but the din of the multitude, which is so
overpowering in the place, can scarcely
be heard, the noise dying on the spot
To those who are conversant with the
power of musical instruments the fol-
lowing observation will be understood
The violins made at Cremona about the
year 1900 are superior in tone to any of a
later date, age seeming to dispossess
them of their noisy qualities and leaving
nothing but the pure tone. If a modern
violin is played by the side of one OF
those instruments it will appear much
the louder of the two, but on receding a
hundred PAGES. when compared with the
Cremona, it will scarcely be heard. -

A Horses Joke.

A Mansfield (O.) doctor is the owner
Of horse which has fondness for
playing practical jokes Recently the
physician drove out into the country to
answer sick call Arriving at his des-
tination he tied his horse to post, near
which hung rope attached to large
bell used as dinner signal for EN-
ployes on the place, and went inside.
Suddenly the bell rang. The doctor
and the man OF the house both looked
out, but could see nothing except the
horse They had hardly turned away.
however, before the bell rang again,
and again they looked but could see
nothing.
This was repeated, and the doctor
determined to solve the mystery; 90 at
the third ring, instead of going into the
house he stepped out and hid in the
yard. He kept his eye on the bell rope,
and in about minute was surprised to
see his horse lift up his head. smile sly
ly, and give the rope good, hard tug.
When the physician sprang out and
confronted the horse the animal instant
ly tried to put on look OF innocence,
but was unsuccessful. ~ Boston Herald.

Jewels Found In New York.

Near Lake George in New York state
great quantities of small and very pure
rock crystals are gathered, specimens,
both natural and cut, being mounted
in jewelry and sold to tourists Many
of them are whittier than any diamond
and frequently as brilliant and trans
parent. A specimen with drop of
water inclosed will sometimes sell for
as much as $50 Certain mines of
them at Little Falls; N. Y, are worked
by tapping the rock until hollow
sound is heard. Indicating cavity, and
within such cavities the crystals are
discovered, sometimes as many as a
bushel In one cavern years ago were
found several tons of these quartz crys-
tails, the sides of the cavity, thirty feet
long and six feet high, being complete
ly covered with them. The sale OF
snch stones in that region amounts to
fully S10,0 per annum. Washington

Among the great masses who must
toll for their daily bread, certainly many
have not yet devoted themselves to till.
ing the soil, and on this account their
enemies have devised the charge that
Jews are OF no use in agriculture. that
they are averse to all hard work Here
also experience gives REPUTATION In
the lands where Jews have been per
mitted to acquire landed property, where
they have found opportunity to devote
themselves to agriculture, they have
proved themselves excellent farmers.
For example, in Hungary they form a
very large part of the tillers of the soil.
and this fact is acknowledged to such an
extent that the high Catholic clergy in
Hungary almost exclusively have Jews
as tenants on mortmain properties, and
almost all large landholders give prefer
ence to the Jews on account of their in
dustry. their rectitude and their dex-
terity. These are facts that cannot be
hid, and that have force, so that the
anti-Semitic movement, which for a
long time fourished in Hungary. mus
expire.
1t will expire because every one sees
that so important factor in the pro
ductive activity of the country-especi
ally in agriculture-cannot be spared

TITLED AMERICANS.


There Are Many Subjects Of Uncls Sam
who Hold Orders Of Mobility.
It Is we'll known that the constitu-
ton Of the United States frowns upon
titles and orders Of nobility, yet there
are many native born Americans whose
dignities range from the humber or
ders Of knighthood to the exalted rank
of princes And am not now abiding
to heiresses who have been raised 10
the peerage by marriage. These In
stances are already familiar to the
public. What is less known Is the fact
that many American men have won
similar elevation by direct grant from
a foreign crown.
The famous scientist, Count Rum.
ford, was plain New England Yankee
named Thompson, who went abroad,
attracted general attention by his
chemical discoveries, and was ennobled
by the king of Bavaria In our own
days Edison has been made count,
and Pullman, Of parlor car fame, a
marquis. by King Hulnbert, but neither
OF them cares to sport the title and it
is only alluded to In u jocnlar fashion
by their friends. The pope has con-
ferred the order of chevalier on several
Americans, the most notable being the
millionaire, Joseph Brannigan, Of
Providence.
The father OF Edgar Saltus was
knighted by Queen Victoria, and has
the right to call himself Sir Francis
Saltus, but has the good taste never to
exercise that right. Marmaduke Rich
ardson. a well known New Yorker, waa
made count by King Humbert, but
never sports the title. There are many
Americans now living abroad who are
not SO modest. certain American
criminal, well known to the police here
as Max Shinbauln, and by numerous
other aliases, is now living in Belgium
as Baron Shinbaurn
And former Bostonian. Charles
Hamilton Fiske by name, made his ap
pearance in Nuremberg year or two
ago as the Count de vernois. and for 9
period enjoyed the highest favor Of the
king, until he was deposed by con
certed action on the part Of the native
nobility.
In both these cases it is not certain
that the titles were genuine, although
it is quite possible that they may have
been acquired by purchase, an cas-,
, step on the continent of Europe. Genu
inc Spanish titles, for example, may b.
bought pretty cheap. the price ranging
