\ Town In Pawn.

1t may not be generally known that
the little seaport town of Wismar, in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position
as Montague Tigg's shirt-namely, at
the pawnbroker's. It was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town to the duchy of
Mecklenburg for around sum of money. 1t
was then stipulated that the town should
be restored to Sweden at the end of
century, provided the sum lent, together
with interest, were paid back to Meek
lenburg.
This sum is now said to amount to sew
eral hundred million marks, and appar-
emily there is little chance of Wismar
being able to pay it at the date fixed.
This singular treaty has lain dormant in
the archives of the municipality ever
since it was made up to the other day,
when, apropos Of the concession of some
land to the custom authorities, it was
exhumed for legal purposes. Million.

Poisoned by SerOfnIa

Is the sad story of many lives
made miserable through no fault of
their own. Scrofula is more espec-
tally than any other a hereditary
disease, and for this simple
reason: Arising from impure
and insufficient blood, the disease
locates itself in the lymphatics,
which are composed of white tissues;
there is period Of foetal life when
the whole body consists of white
tissues, and therefore the unborn
child is especially susceptible to this
dreadful disease. But there is a
remedy for scrofula, whether here
ditary or acquired. 1t is Hoods
SarsapaliIla, which by its powerful
effect on the blood, expels all trace
Of the disease and gives to the vital
fluid the quality and color of health.
II You decide to take Hoods Sarsa-
parilla do not accept any SUBSTITUTE.

The discovery by Edison of the carbon
with which perfected his electric lamp
seems Il happy accident, but such acct
dents never happen to common men.
The great inventor scraped some SCOT
from the blackened chimney of his lab
oratory lamp, and in a spirit of curios-
ity tested its properties. 1t proved to be
tho thing for which he was searching,
but behind this fortunate discovery was
a series of exhausting and exhaustive ex-
periments with all kinds of likely mate
rails, absorbing the energies of many
months. The lucky hit rewarded the
persistent will of patient workman.
So with the young and obscure lawyer
who conducts and wins difficult case,
as did Thomas Erskine in his elders i'll
ness, or the struggling surgeon who has
a sudden chance Of distinction offered to
him, he must have had long and Ia
borious preparatory training before he
can profit by such an emergency. In
short, a great opportunity is worth to a
man precisely what his antecedents have
enabled him to make Of it.-William
Mathews in Harpers Young People.

Casting Great Statues.

Stiglmayer, a German goldsmith in the
first part of this century, having an am
bition to attempt larger works than any
he had accomplished, went to Naples in
order tosee the casting of Canova's statue
of Charles III, but was denied the sight of
certain secret technical processes. Stigl-
mayer found them out for himself never
theless, and as soon as he went home
made his first experiment on statuette
of Venus. Many delays occurred, and
the excitement increased as the end drew
near. By some mistake one of his assist
ants poured lis molten metal into the
airhole. Tfol tho casting came to a
standstill.
THE crowd of lockers on" writes the
poor founder in his diary, ''stood first
dump about me and then slipped out one
by one and left me with my pain"
III month second casting was be-
gun and failed. With unbroken courage
he begun tho third cast, and on Christ
mas eve the metal was again poured in.
1t ran into the mold and spurted joy
fully out ct the air hole.
''Our joy knew no bounds" he de-
clares. "Wo raised loud cry of joy
and embraced and kissed each other.

We have occasionally regretted the
monstrosities of street advertisements
Every vacant wall or boarding which is
accessible to the bill sticker blazes with
pictures which do not precisely educate
the public taste, and are rather q serious
addition to the minor evils of life. Well
meant efforts have been made to improve
these posters. The late Mr.. Frederick
Walker designed one for 1.-THE Woman

but far from an addition to the amenity

Mr.. Terkomer, if we are not mistaken,
has tried his hand, and well known
picture of a little boy blowing soap bub-
bles, by Sir John Millais. is sufficiently
familiar to the amateur. But the worst
of it is that no such repeated airs, from
whatever hand, are agreeable, much less
the terrible man with the liver pad, COM
pared with whom the lady with improb-
ably long hair is a gem. This is not the
end. The fields ON each side of the rail
ways grow monstrous advertisements
an offense to the eyes of travellers, and
surely no real lnducement to purchase
the wares of the culprits.
A society has been formed to deal with
these horrors, and the society protests
against "difidence and dependency"
This is Ilucky at least, and SO far de-
serves respect. 1t is monstrous anon
ally to spend public money on the i'm
provement of public tsA1e, and then to
permit that taste to BE- debauched by
''sly signs" advertisements in green
fields, posters faring on every vacant

eide. Said he:
When an individual life has run its
cycle and become a waste of nature In
the body, overwhelming Its mental and
physical qualities with weakness and
pain to an intolerable degree, it may
with all propriety be removed.
Such being the case with the life of
the writer, his apology to the world is by
these terms mad rough his most be-
loved and most intimate friends, who, he
trusts, will appreciate the relief to him
from ceaseless distress, which, in his opin-
ion, ought to be brought by the phyician
who is summoned with his drugs, surely
