CLEOPATRA AND CESAR,
Tied Up in n Carpet the Famous Beauty
Visited the Gene raj.

Visited the Gene raj.
Cleopatra, the last Quo en- of Egypt,
daughter of King Ptolemy, was born
in Alexandria in the year 50 B. G. and
died there about the age of 40. Her
great beauty, talent, and love affairs
have made her name immortal. Few
women, V e few queens, have had
such devoted admirers as had this
Egyptian ruler. Caesar and Antony
were successfully her willing slaves.
When Caesar first visited Alexandria
Cleopatra was anxious to have him sup
port her cause against her brother
PtOlemy, and for that purpose resolved
upon a daring venture which forms a
celebrated episode in her career. With
a single trusted attendant she made
her way at twilight, in a little boat.
from a larger vessel out at sea. into the
harbor OF Alexandria, and succeeded
in reaching unobserved the steps
reaching to the water from the royal
palace where Caesar was staying.
Wrapped in a roll of heavy carpet tied
with cords, she was carried by her
attendant into Caesars presence. The
carpet was unrolled, and the Queen,
whose beauty at that period of her life
must, according to the old historians.
have been most brilliant and perfect,
appeared for the first time before the
astonished Roman. BY this daring act
and her personal beauty and fascina-
ton Cleopatra at nee gained her end,
and from that moment until Casar's

powerful.

What He Needed.

When the cook opened the titcheD
door and found a tramp there, she was
in just the humor for refusing him a
bite to eat though he was starving.
But he saved her that trouble.
Excuse me-" he said, smiling out of
his photosphere of dirt, can you give
me a bath this morning."
The cook threw up her hands.
Great governor" she exclaimed, "a
what"
"A bath, lady, water and soap and
towels and a sponge, don't you KNOW"
Yes: but what in the name of good
ness do you want a bath for?:"
He smiled sincerely.
Really, lady, l don't know" he said
in the most serious tone; but in the
last week or so every house l go to
they tell me what | need is a bath, and
[ thought as a concession to a univer-
sal demand, so to speak, I'll try one.
Can you set 'em up, and oblige the
public:"
1t was too much fer the cook, how.
ever, and she fell over backward into
the kitchen.-Detroit Free Press.

A NETWORK OF OCEAN CABLES
Submarine Wires About Everywhere In the
World Except in America Waters.

Submarine Wires About Everywhere I'm the
World Except i'm America Waters.
The world is now so netted with
cable, great and small and new ones
are laid so frequently that there is
much demand for the services of the
cable-laying ships, says the New
York Sun. A list of the worlds
cables, long and short, set down in
tabulated torn, occupies twenty large
and closely printed pages. The ca
BILE map of the world prepared by the
United States navy department shows
that the Mediterranean is thickly
Melted with cable west of Malta. So
is the North Atlantic between the
thirty-eight and tifty-tifth PARALLELS.
The North Sea, the Red Sea, and the
Arabian Sea have many cables. The
only great unbridged spaces are the
Pacific, the South Atlantic, and the
great stretch of the Indian Ocean be-
tween Madagascar and Australia.
There is no considerable cable north
of Stockholm or south of Nelson,
New Zealand. The Black Sea is COM
pletely girdled 10y land lines and
crossed by one cable. The Gulf Of
Mexico is crossed, though not at its
widest, by several cables, and the
waters of the West Indies are becom-
ing thickly netted with short cables.
Coast communications in the Uni
ted States and Europe are maintain
ed mainly by land lines, but in
Africa, South America, and much Of
Asia the same thing is maintained
by means of long or short cable loops.
1t thus happens that this country,
although more thoroughly equipped
with Geographic lines than any 9TH
er in the world. has a comparatively
small amount of cable within her
own waters. This may perhaps C
count in part for the fact that cable
making is only Just beginning to be
an important industry in the United
States.
The navy of the United States,
however, has done a vast deal for the
art of cable laying. Commander Sigs
bee has invented Il highly affective
sounding machine for ascertaining
the depth of the ocean-an absolute
~ necessary preliminary to cable lay
ing. Lieutenant Commander l.. Tan
ner of the navy has devised an in
genious case for deep sea thermomc-
tiers and also improved a thermome-
ter frame invented by an Italian ma
val officer. The navy department
has also issued an elaborate treatise
for the proposed Pacific cable route.

Driven out by the sparrows.

The purple martin, a noisy, pictur-
esuue, and graceful bird, once very
abundant a little south of New York,
is one of the native birds that have
been driven out by the immigrant
English sparrows. 1t used to be that
a suitable bird box, perched high in
air, was thickly peopled with martins
that returned to 1t year after year, and
made it the center of eccentric flights
aud beautiful curves as we'll as a home
OF somewhat vociferOus music. Now
such bird box is promptly pre-emptedl
by the swarming sparrOws.

This nation would be very un-
like all others if it did not have its
periods Of woe. Such a period is
now on. Beginning with a trade
depression it was quickly followed
by bank failures in every part Of
the land, these in turn we're fol-.
lowed by merchantile failures and
the locking up Of capital. On the
heels Of this came the 'Industrial
armies" and train-stealing in Cali
fornia and the West, as a side issue.
Then came the foods both local
and general, and the nasty cater
pillar invasion to liven up matters.
Last but not least these wretched
coal and railroad strikes to effect,
in more less extent, every busi--
ness man in the land. There will
be an end, and an amicable one it
is hoped, even Of this trouble, the
quarrel between labor and capital.
tbs well to remember these lines:
For Romans in Rohe's quarrel,
spared neither laRd nor gold,
Nor man nor wife. nor limb nor life

Then, none were for party,
But all were for the State,
And the rich man helped the poor,
And the poor man loved the great"

WE predict that the new salar.

We predict that the new salary
law will prove a success as soon as
the people become accustomed to
it. The next session Of the legisla-
ture should reduce the fees very
materially, but no other change is
needed. While it is sometimes q
little unhandy to pay fees in ad-
vance, there is one good argument
in favor lit. Many lawsuits that
would be instituted under the old
system, will not be brought since
the litigants have to pay the court
in advance. This feature Of the
law makes it unpopular with the
lawyers, but it will keep many.
uncalled for suits from being
brought. The salary law should
be retained. -Roseburg Review.
