The famous Leaning Tower Of
Pisa, Italy, SO celebrated in the an
nails of the world as one of the great
est of its many wonders, was begun in
the year 1852, but was not finished I'M
til after two centuries had come and
gone. 1t WAS erected as Il sort of tri-
rlmphal tower to celebrate the victory
OF the Pisans and the Normans over
the Saraccns, the two former having
allied to drive the latter out of Italy.
The fact that this old relic is in
the market and offered for sale to the
highest bidder makes this item timely
and appropriate. The old tower is
circular in shape, 100 feet in diameter,
179 feet high and is of pure white mar
BILE. 1t is divided into eight stories
and has galleries at each story, which
extend entirely around it. AS above
mentioned, the entire structure is of
massive marble slabs, the weight of
which gives it a decided overlapping
look, the top hanging out, as it does,
sixteen feet over the foundation.

Man and Beast.

A kind hearted woman in the west
ern part of Detroit had her sympathies
appealed to a few days ago by the
spectacle of thin, attenuated horse
attached to an ash cart which stopped
before her door.
"It's a shame" she said Indignantly
to the man who had the horse and cart
in charge, ito drive such poor, thin,
half-starved beast. You ought to be
punished for it."
The man approached the good wo-
man and extended his hand.
"Fale me arrum and me ribs, ma am,
and you'll see for yourself I'm as thin
as the horse" he said.
The equine sympathizer saw that he
was speaking the truth, and she at
once set more substantial form Of
her sympathy before him.

Cardinal Wolsey was, in common
with many churchmen of olden time,
an ardent lover of good dinners. Henry
VIII. was fond of accepting the hospi-
tally of the ecclesiastical dignitary,
who maintained his establishment
with semi-royal state. The cook was
a parsonage of such Importance that
his daily dress was of. silk and satin
with heavy gold chain as his insignia
of Office. The feasts of those days
were conducted on the most generous
scale, and the stranger was never
turned away from the door.
