A New York daily paper, taking up
the idea conveyed in Flammarion's ex-
citing novel, "Omega: The Last Days
Vt the World" has interviewed num-
Der of the leading men in all profess
sions as to what they would do if
science were to predict tomorrow that
the end of the world would arrive
within the next thirty days. The
answers were various and curious, and
heighten the interest which is felt in
the second part of Flammarion's great
novel, which appears in the May Co.'S
mopolitan. 1t is a question which
everyone will find interesting to ask
himself: What would you do If within
six weeks the end of the world were
certain? Probably no novel which has
ever appeared in an American maya
zine has been more deliberately illus
trated by more distinguished artists.
Laurens, Saunier Vogel, Meaulle,
ROchegrosse, Geradin and Chovin all
contribute to the explanation Of the text.
A clever story of another kind is that
of the New England novelist, Gilbert
Parker, in the same number. "Ameri-
can Society in Paris" is an article of
another kind, but one which will in
terest all who have had occasion to
make even short residence in the
French capital. The Cosmopolitan.
scores a success in producing in its May
number, almost simultaneously with
the daily papers, an elaborate descrip-
ton of Professor Gray's marvellous
invention, the Telautograph, which re-
produces the handwriting, or the work
of the artist, simultaneously, thousands
of miles distant from the place where
the writer or artist is sitting. Mr..
Howells' purpose in "The Traveller
from Altruria' is, month by month,
becoming more evident, and is now re-
ceiving wide attention at the hands of
the critics all over the world.

A Remarkable Statue.

Some years ago melodrama was be-
ing performed in a country theater, the
chief actor in which had made himself,
from his naughty and overbearing con-
duct, disliked by all. In the last scene
hewas supposed to visit the tombs of his
ancestors. In the center of the stage
upon a marble pedestal stood the statue
of his father. A heavy fold of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed the statue:
lam here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes to
pay thee alteration. Let me remove the
veil which from the vulgar gaze shields
the beloved image of a once dear parent
Of went the drapery and, behold the
father stood upon his headl The effect
cannot be described. 1t was electric.
The shouts of laughter which followed
the mistake of the super effectually put
an end to the scene, which changed to
the next as quickly as possible, amid the
jeers of the audience the anger Of the
manager and the uncomfortable rage of
the actor.-Londou Tit-Bits.

Our Great Country.

1t has recently been discovered that on
American soil the sun never sets. The
British have for years sung song in glori-
fication of the fact that the sun never sets
on the soil of that cline
But, lol now comes the stars and stripes,
which are never out of sight Of the sun.
The exact situation Of the geographical cen
ter of the United States is a surprise to any
one who has not given the subject careful
attention. The most eastern point of the
United States Is Quoddy head, Maine, the
western, Attoo island, Alaska; the most
northern, Point Barrow, Alaska; the most
southern, Key West The center of the
Quadrangular figure formed by uniting
these four points is located at crossing of IS
degrees north latitude and 10 degrees west
longitude, about 400 miles north Of the
north line of Montana. 1t is also true OF
the United States as Of Great Britain that
the sun never sets on our territory, for
when 1t is 9 p. m. ON Attoo island, Alaska.
II Is ei86 a. m. of the following day at East
port, Me-Exchange.

Knowledge In Animals.

Most people going into dark room that
they know are by muscular sense guided
exactly to the very spot they wish. So
people who have the instinct OF locality
may wander over a moor exactly to the
place they wish to reach without thinking
of where theygo There may be no mental
exercise connected with this. have known
a lady Of great Intelligence who woule lose
her way within half mile of the house she
had lived in 40 years. This feeling about
place belongs to that part of us that we
have in common with the lower creatures
We need not postulate that the animal,
ever show signs of possessing our intelli
gence. They possess in common with ui
what is not intelligence, but instinct.-A

Habit Hard to Break on.

~ see," remarked well known man
about town the other day, that we are in
the midst of another of those periodic out
breaks against tipping, but it won't make
bit Of difference. Tipping will go on just
the same. Some few people will conceive
the notion that as a matter OF principle
they ought to refrain from tipping, and
they will try il for few days and then will
conclude that for the sake of their own
peace of mind they'd better tip. They'll
continue confirmed 'tippers' for the rest Of
their days
"The fact is it requires more courage to
rebel against the tipping system than it
does to revolt against almost any other so
cial custom. / know whereof speak, for
I've been there, and I'll just tell you how
It works. When you withhold the usual
tip, you become painfully aware that the
waiter thinks you are frightfully mean.
You would like to explain to him that you
are only making a noble and heroic fight
for principle, but of course that is out Of
the question. Now, nothing hurts a mans
pride so much as to feel that somebody
thinks him mean. He could better endure
being thought gambler, or a 'bunko steer
err or a man who didn't pay his debts.
You become afraid to look that waiter in
the face. Next time you dine somewhere.
else and again incur the odium of unde-
served contempt. You don't get hardened
to it; YOU hate it worse each time, and after
it has gone on three or four days you just
say to yourself: Hang it, or something
else, this thing has got to stop. 1 can't
stand having people think am mean when
l know / amt Devil take the principle of
the thingp Then you resume tipping and
are happy once more. New York Herald.

"An important branch of literary bust
ness nowadays is writing by proxy" said a
publisher to a reporter. This is very
busy world, and there are a great many
people in it who having no time to produce
matter for publication themselves, employ
others TO do it for them. For example, one
Of the best known physicians in this c0un-
try has also a considerable reputation as a
litterateur. He has published number Of
learned medical works, besides several vol
umes of fiction. Not one of them has been
written by himself He has hired other
men to produce them, paying them somuch
q page. ! know all about it, because the
volumes | speak Of have been issued from
my own presses. That sort of thing is very
common.
81 also am acquainted with distin-
guished lawyer who chooses to have lit
erary reputation. He thinks it helps him
In his profession, and presumably his vanity
is gratified by It. At all events he EN-
ploys a newspaper man of ability, with
whom he is on confidential terms, to write
articles regularly for him. They are most
ly on topics which have some reference to
law. The lawyer signs his name to them,
and the journalist receives the pay. This
Is advantageous to both because the law
yer's reputation makes the article fetch
double OF even treble what the newspaper
man could sell it for as his own.
THE lawyer also produces about four
short stories for magazines every year.
These also are written in type script by the
journalist, who gets 800 apiece for them,
while the lawyer signs his name and is con-
tent with the glory. Washington Star.

Mrs. Millions Ride

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels
forth in state,
Her horses, full of fire and pride 20 pranc-
ing from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she views
with ianguid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away her voice
is but sigh.
For Mrs Million is in an advanced
stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries
that wealth can buy fail to give her
comfort. She envies her rosy waiting
maid, and would give all her riches for
that young woman's pure breath and
blooming health. Now, if some true
and disinterested friend would advise
Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, she would
learn that her case is not past help.
$500 reward is offered by the manu-
facturers for a case of catarrh in the
head that they cannot cure.

Remarkable Backsight.

There was a singular case in the Massa-
chusetts home for the feeble minded few
years agoS when that institution was at
South Boston. A boy there, about IA years
old, was blind as well as feeble minded. 1t
seemed as though his life never could be Of
the slightest use, either to the world or
himself He knew absolutely nothing and
apparently never could learn anything.
He had, however, one very remarkable
gift He could tell Immediately what day
of the week any day of the month of any
year fell upon. If a visitor asked him any
date taken at FaRdOm-Aug. IA, 1869, for
instance-his features would begin to work,
his eyes twitch, and after what seemed a
physical effort 10 utter the words he would
stutter, Saturday, j." which the almanac
for that year would prove to be right.
Asked again the day of the week of April
"a, 1854, or any date that could have no con-
nection with any public event or any event
in the boys own life, he would 90 through
the same spasm and stammer, "Th-Thur-
Thursday" and he was invariably right.
After remaining in the institution some
time a home was found for him on farm,
where he could do odd chores. Boston
