The London corree House In 100.

At the coffee house the news was dis
cussed, rumors were invented, scandal
aired and designations made. Letters
were received and kept for known Gus
toners. Swift used to find his letters
from Stella in the frame of the glass be-
hind the bar of the St. James coffee
house. Harley, afterward Earl of Ok
ford, saw one of Stellas letters one day
in that conspicuous position and asked
Swift how long he had learned the trick
Of writing to himself. Stella wrote hand
very closely resembling Swift's own.
The floor OF a coffee room was divided
into boxes similar to those that still lin
ger in a few taverns and hostelries that
preserve a flavor of times gone by. Be
hind bar sat enshrined the ''idols," as
a correspondent Of The Spectator terms
the barmaids, whose manners and Gus
toms, especially their fondness for fiirta-
ton and bar worship-the chief griev-
ance with this correspondent, who was
probably either old or ugly-have their
counterparts at the present day beneath
more pretentious roofs. Tom Brown de.
scribes the 'idols" as "a charming Phillis
or two, who invite you by their amorous
glances into their smoky territories.
The crusty Spectator complained that
great difficulty in getting served was ex-
perienced by those who did not respond
to the amorous glances or who wished to
pass their time otherwise than in ogling
and worshiping the charming Phillises at
the bar.-Temple Bar.

Was There an Ago of Copper

NJ. Berthelot, the well known French
technicist, in a communication to the
Academic des Sciences, states his belief
in the some time existence Of an age Of
copper in addition to the three recog-
nized archaeological cons Of stone, bronze
"copper" and TIM and iron. He bases his
opinion chiefly upon an analysis of a
piece Of copper which had been found by
NJ. de Sarzec in the course of antigua
rian investigations in Mesopotamia, or
Al Jezira, as the Arabs designate the
famous stretch Of country between the
Euphrates and the Tigris. The fragment
thus chemically determined proves to
have neither tin nor zinc entering into
its composition, there being simply traces
of lead and arsenic.
Water and the atmosphere had made
ravages into the specimen, which was
practically n suboxide or a compound of
protoxide and metallic copper. As the
ruins from which the piece Of metal was
taken are authoritatively considered to
be more ancient than even those Of Baby
Ion, NJ. Berthelot does not hesitate to
promulgate the theory that an age Of
copper preceded the bronze and iron
periods, especially as the examination Of
the component parts Of a portion Of a
metallic scepter which, it is alleged, be
longed to a pharaoh who reigned in
Egypt some {, 500 years B. c., showed no
sign Of the presence of tin.-London

Unexpected wealth.

1 have heard it said by friend Of the
late Albert Way, the well known archie
Ologist, that he came by a fortune in this
wise: Crossing Pail Mall, he jostled an
old gentleman and discomfted him.
After mutual apologies and the inter-
change of civilties cards were ex-
changed, and ON each card was printed
''Nr. Albert Way" The older gentle
man dying had no natural heir and left
his fortune to the other Albert Way

AN ex-coNvlcT,s STORY.
Pitfful Plant OF n Man Who Has Served
Term For Forgery.

lerm tor + fofgery.
''No. IS, ,4S1" tells pitiable story Of his
difficulties in attempting to obtain a iiv-
ing honestly after undergoing a term of
imprisonment. He was sentenced 81
years ago to two years Imprisonment for
forgery. Previously he had been pos
sessed Of considerable means, had been
brought up in luxury, but exhausting his
fortune had committed forgery to obtain
more money. During his imprisonment
he came into contact with many young
fellows who had committed similar
crimes, and who had not the slightest idea
as to how they We're 20 gain a living when
they got out. When he was released, he
had a few pounds, and when this was
gone he applied tothe Discharged Prison
ers' Aid society.
He says; II was told 1 could come
into the house (and so mix with some Of
the greatest of criminals), for which
should have to chop wood or do tailor
ing, etc, but this l objected to do, so

not what position a man held in life pre-
vious to his getting into trouble, on re-
lease this society offers the same means
Of obtaining an honest livelihood to
every one-that is, chopping and making
up bundles of firewood, working in the
tailors' shops, taking on a milk round
with hand truck, travelling on commits

90 cases out Of 100 refuse to look at,
much less to purchase.

Position of Wood and It's Durability.

The problem has troubled many why
two pieces Of wood, sawed from the same
section Of a tree, should possess very
varied characteristics when used in diff
ferent positions. For example, gate
post viii be found to decay much faster
if the butt end of the tree is uppermost
than would be the case if the top were
placed in this position. The reason is
that the moisture Of the atmosphere win
permeate the pores of the wood much
more rapidly the way the tree grew than
it would if in the opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that
the pores invite the ascent of moisture,
while they repel its descent. Take the
familiar case Of a wooden bucket. Many
may have noticed that some 0f the slaves
appear to be entirely saturated, while
others are apparently quite dry. This
arises from the Same cause.-The dry
slaves are in the position in which the
tree grew, while the saturated ones are
reversed. London Tit-Bits.

Making a Poor Impression.

Sometimes we meet one whom we
would gladly please and proceed at once
to put our worst foot forward-even
that upon which we most hopelessly do
limp. We contrive, by saturnalian aid
TO say precisely that which we would
wish unsaid, and TO expose our weakest
side. even to weaken a side that is nor
mally all right, during a or 1Ominutes
interview on some occasion when our
good genius has ''gone out to see a man" {"
Afterward we think over what we said,
and our sarcastic ''hind thought" brings
up brilliant or at least sensible things
that we might have said better than not
if they had come to us.-Boston Com

AYalnahle Colleetion.

The collection mania has its victims
lmong all classea of people, from the
poorest to tho richest, and very often
aueer traits Of character are shown by
the collections made. A successful Wall
street broker has a collection that is
unique, valuable and income producing.
Blessed with abundant means, ne has for
the past five years been able to crafty
his whim for the collection Of bank
stocks. His ambition is to have the larg-
est collection Of certificates of bank stocks
IN the world. His plan is to buy just
one share Of stock in each national bank.
Recently he found that every national
bank in New York city except one was
represented in his collection. The ex-
ception was the Chemical, the 800 shares
of which sell for something over 81, 900
each.
After trying for long while to find
some one who would sell him single
share the collector came across three
shares which were for sale in lump.
He could not get one alone, consequently
he bought the three for trife over S15,-
600. 81 was led into making collections
Of bank stocks" said this gentleman the
other day, because I could not think of
anything else to collect. Among my
friends were collectors of pictures,
bronzes, marbles, bric-a-brac, flowers,
books, postage stamps, coins, musical
instruments, glassware and almost ev-
erything else. WANTED to collect some
thing that would be out Of the ordinary
and at the same time be Of permanent
value. Therefore I settled on bank
shares. New York Times.

The sa1io Law Of SUGGESTION.

M. Violet has written an essay upon
the causes which led to females being
excluded from succession to the throne
of France. According to him, the prin-
ciple was elaborated in the period Of
about 130 years comprised between the
death Of Louis X and the final triumph
Of Charles VII and became a funda-
mental law Of the monarchy when the
daughter Of Louis X, the daughter of
Philippe le Long and the daughters Of
Charles le Bel were deprived Of their ia
theirs succession. These precedents es-
tablished the law on the subject, but it
is not generally known that the history
of the disputed successions to the French
throne commenced by the indirect recog-
milton Of female rights.-London Times.

Where Rats Are Priced as scavengers.

A man just from New Orleans says
there is one popularity about that city
which is never talked about. 1T is" he
said, "a city of rats. New Orleans is be-
low the river bed, and it is at all times
low and damp. The city is not clean,
and large wharf rats multiply in tho
business portion Of the city in great num-
bers, and the pests swarm about in
droves. The people Of New Orleans con-
tend that tho rats are good scavengers

LEFT THE WATER RUNNING.
And Flooded Egan & Gums Store
Below.

One of the employees Of Williams
photograph gallery left a water tap
turned partly on last night, with the
result that when the employees of Egan
& Gum, who occupied the store be-
meath, opened up this morning they
found the rear part Of the store flooded
and water dropping from the ceiling
in every direction. Investigation soon
showed where it came from, but that
did not help repair the damage. Many
of the goods laid out on the counters
and shelving were ruined, some partly
so and others only slightly but as near
as can be ascertained the firms
loss will be about $500, The rear
part of the store is now converted
into drying room, every effort
being made to make the loss as
light as possible, as it will probably fall
on Mr.. Williams.
Fortunately Egan & Gum had not
yet commenced to unpack number of
cases of valuable fancy goods just re.
ceived by the Australia from London
and Paris, which comprised parasols,
fans, gloves, ribbons, laces and other
high priced articles of feminine attire.
Had these been unpacked and placed
on the shelves, the loss would have been
much heavier. This is the second
time the firm has met with such mis-
fortune. The entire portion of the rear
end of the store will have to be re.
plastered.
