down into the solitude which best ena-
bles her to endure her memorable and
cumulative sorrows. Her tall, sad fig
ure goes in and out among US with only
the recognition of silent sympathy. The
empress likes to have communication

instance, when she shops-she does her
own shopping-she likes to be waited
on by the same salesman always. ]

II might b. couiectured perhaps that
Scott'e and Byron's genius was favored
by the circumstances Of their birth,
that the wild scenes in which Scott's
infancy was passed, and the local leg

termined him to ballad writing, and
that the ballad writing led naturally In
its turn to romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty Of
Byron's childhood fostered that passion
ate self will and brooding imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, we
say, might perhaps be coniectured with.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than go miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of a race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by a west coast natural
list early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has a photo

not one of the largest, being over z feet

Hose Of d Time.

In the very long ago hose were not
stockings as now worn, but made long,
and were often drawn up even TO the
waist, and, oddly enough, had pockets
in their sides. We read, moreover, that

How many people know that out by

east Of tho capitol, is n vast and cav
ernous reservoir Not ono in a thou

meath the smooth surface of a~sphaltum.
Away back in the thirties congress pur-
chased q spring over east of the present
site of Howard university. It Is now
at the bottom Of the unused distribut-
ing reservoir. From it pipes were laid
TO the capitol, and in a pond east Of the
building the water flowed and was held
for the use of the early Sclons of the
hill. In 1876 the reservoir was arched
owe and covered in, but there il is, and
if congress has bee neglectful of the
city's interests as to a water supply,
the reason is not hard to find. Congress
has its own private tap. Pipes run into
the capitol, furnishing the boilers, cool
ers and water for cleaning purposes.
