nelghDOrho0d or London, Tor the adm1-
raj was as fond of ships and of salt wa
ter as ever and was as happy in the
sheets of 2-ton yacht as on the bridge
Of his 16-knot monitor. Had he been
united the Devonshire or Hampshire
coast would certainly have been his
choice. There was Harold, however, and
Harold's interests were their chief care.
Harold was "a now. Three years before
he had been taken in hand by an ac-
quaintance of his fathers. the head-ssff g q
considerable firm of stockholders, and
fairly launched upon change. His 300
guinea entrance fee paid, his three sure
ties of e5O0 pounds each found. his name
approved by the committee and all other
formalities complied with, he found him
self whirling around, an insignificant
unit in the vortex of the money market
of the world.
There, under the guidance of his fa-
theirs friend, he was instructed in the
mysteries Of bulling and Of bearing, in
the strange usages Of change, in the in
tricacies Of carrying over and Of trans
ferring. He learned to know where to
place his clients money, which of the
jobbers would make price in New Zea-
lands and which would touch nothing
but American rails, which might be
trusted and which Stunned. All this and
much more he mastered, and to such
purpose that he soon began to prosper,
to retain the clients who had been rec
commended to him and to attract fresh
ones. But the work was never congen-
ial. He had inherited from his father
his love Of the air of heaven, his affec-
ton for a manly and natural existence.
To act as middleman between the pur-
suer of wealth and the wealth which he
pursued, or to stand as human barom-
eter, registering the rise and fall of the
great mammon pressure in the markets,
was not the work for which Providence
had placed those broad shoulders and
strong limbs upon his well knit frame.

Savage Indifference to Pain.

Generally speaking, the more civilized
and refined races are more sensitive to
pain than barbarous and uncivilized
races. This was proved by DR.. Felkin
in a series of carefully planned expert
ments which he made upon Arabs, ne
groes and Europeans. The stoical forti-
tude of the Arabs he considered due to
peculiar mental characteristics, Of which
mental repression, self control and
dogged endurance were the leading fea-
lures. The indifference to pain in ne
groes he thought was due to diminished
general sensibility, and he was led to be-
lieve that the relative sensibility of Euro
peans, Arabs and negroes was in the
proportion of one, two and three. A
New Zealander has been known to chol
off bis great toes so that he might get on
pair of boots which had been given tc
him. On one occasion a native Austria
lian came to a settlement to get wood
en- leg, his own leg being burned away
at the knee. 1t had been wounded SO Sc
verely that amputation was necessary,
and as his tribehad no appliances to stop
the flow of blood his leg had been simply
burned off.-Elmira Telegram.

wedding wreaths Of the word.


The wreath which graces the head of a
bride on her wedding day has been sung
by more poets, even the great ones hike
Schiller, than any other chaplet of fame
o. honor. In the early days the Jews
saw in the wreath sign of what for
them was the most beautiful and pre-
cious-the promised land--and of the
myrtle the bridal crown was woven.
Later this myrtle wreath became the
symbol of womanly purity and as such
is worn by every girl bride in Germany.
In many parts Of Germany the sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must be taken at a fixed hour of the
night between certain holy days. And
in both Denmark and Germany families
possess myrtle trees which have for quite
q generation or more furnished the
bridal wreaths at family weddings. In
Greece the myrtle and the rose were con-
sidered the favorite flowers of Venus,
the twining of the two together signify
ing the union of love and virtue. In
England, in France and in Poland, as in
America, the orange blossom reigns su-
preme in wedding chaplets. In Italy the
white rose has taken the place of the ev-
ergreen and fragrant myrtle wreath. In
Spain it is the red, red rose that adorns
bride, and Portugal's wedding flower
is the carnation.-New York Sun.

RAGING IN MODERN ROME.

Riderless Horses Goadod TO Furious Speed
with Balls of Prickles.
The prizes for these races were called
palii, and were usually pieces of brocade
or some other rioh stuff, which was
thrown over the back Of the horse that
won and 80 displayed to the people. We
also hear of . procession Of the palii, 90
no doubt they often took the form of
banner. The mobiles used to deposit them
In their chapels, and In the last days of
the papal government the French SOL
diers substitut ted for the procession of the
palii that of the bue grasso.
The popes Dragons used to gallop
through the Corso to clear it before the
race, and to warn the people that it
had actually started. Either mortars
were fred or trumpets blown, but acci-
dents were perpetually occurring, and
when in 1886 two people were killed just
below the balcony where stood the Queen
Margherita, the Barbary races were for
hidden in the Corso for the future, though
renewed last year in very much modi-
fed form around the Piazza del Popolo.
The horses had no riders, but carried
two balls of lead, covered with prickfes,
loosely attached by leather thongs be-
low the neck and on the back. So of
course the harder they galloped the more
these prickly balls danced up and down
and goaded them on.
Dashing furiously along the Corso,
they were past almost before people
knew that they had started, and in such
q narrow street, with such crush Of
people ON either side and somebody al
ways trying to cross at the last moment
or stepping out of the throng to see if
they were coming, it was small wonder
that it was dangerous game, though
Of course the danger was in part also
the attraction.
A sheet was stretched across the street
to catch the horses at the back of Piazza
venezia, in the passage still called Via
della Ripresa de Barberi, in front Of
which was cord covered with wet red
paint. This dropped before the rush of
the foremost horse, leaving streak of
paint on his chest, and thus all knew at
once which was the winner.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

A Loud Telephone.

An English paper describes telephone
which will talk loud enough for person
in any part of a large room to hear and
understand Mr. Graham, the inventor,
mas succeeded not so much by an i'm
provemnt on the existing telephones as
by his method of arranging the circuit
and bringing its resistance as low as
possible. To this end the usual induc-
tion coil is discarded, and the two instru-
rectly connected in circuit with the line
and the battery. The transmitter at one
end OF the limo is connected to the re-
ceiver at the other end, and two separate
lines are employed having common re-
turn wire. Two correspondents can thus
talk quite freely with each other, and as
the receivers speak out so as to be heard
in any part of a room conversation can
be carried on by each person simply
speaking to his transmitter.
The apparatus is attached to flexible
conductors and is held in the hand. To
open conversation it is sufficient to
pick up the portable transmitter and
press q button in it's casing, so as to es-
tablish the circuit. The receiver at the
other end acts as it's own call bell by the
loudness of its voice, and the response
comes equally prompt and loud. The
user has therefore no need to listen care
fully with one or two receivers held up
to his head. All he has to do is to speak
into his transmitter and keep his ears
open.

every vessel should carry a supply of

Married and Proud OF IT.

1t was on a train going through
Indiana. Among the passengers were
a newly married couple, who made
themselves known to such an extent
that the occupants of the car com.
menced passing sarcastic remarks
about them. The bride and groom
stood the remarks for some time, but
finally the latter, who was a man Of
tremendous size, broke out in the
following language at his torment
ors: "'Yes, we're married-just mar
ried. We are going 100 miles far
ther on this train, and am going to

al,inr rIdo an Airing.

A new and rather embarrassing oc.
cupation has been found for domes
tic servants II seems that a young
woman who is engaged asa maid at
tendant" at a salary of 60 a month
is sometimes called upon to take her
mistress dog out for walk in the
streets at 12:45 in the morning
Such at least was the story told by
an aggrieved plaintiff at the city of
London court and it is hardly sur
prising that sh,"dt4lincd the duty of
personally conducting the pet at
such an hour. Thereupon she was
discharged, but her mistress said
that the reason Of her dismissal was
her excessive insolence."
The learned commissioner in the
result held that the servant could
claim a months wages, but the deli
cate question of dog law which had
been raised IN the course of the case
was unfortunately not decided. 1t
therefore still remains moot point
whether it is permissible to ask
Mary Jane to take Fido for walk
before bedtime, and, if SO, whether
what is reasonable at 10 or IL o'clock
becomes unreasonable couple of
hours later. Perhaps the best solu
tion would be to let Fido take walk
byhimsef and defy the dog stealers.

A Queer Place For "a Nest.

Four years ago a pair of robins
built their home on the top of the
farm bell of w. H. Weemer in Don
egal township, and Notwithstanding
that the bell was in daily use, they
remained and raised their family
During the ringing of the bell the
female would remain on the nest
swinging to and fro apparently as
unconcerned as though she were
Matching in some secluded spot.
Whether it was the swinging that
pleased the robins or whether it was
the instinct implanted in the breast
of every migratory bird to return
each year to the same nesting place
must remain mystery, but it is a
fact that every year since the sup
posed same robins have returned and
built their nest on the same old bell.
