Higher Education.

We have now high school for the
culture and development Of feminine
beauty. At this beauty college the fail
pupils are taught the science of impart.
ing the highest degree of graceful ex-
preston to their features and move
ments. The young ladies are taught
how to speak,. e., without pulling
faces-and how to pronounce difficult
words in the most bewitching manner
One Of the most difficult words is the
simple ''potato - Two hours are barely
sufficient to acquire correct and agree
able pronunciation Of the name Of this
homely tuber. The professors at the COL
lege have discovered that music lends
peculiar charm to the expression of
the countenance. But the difficulty lies
in the choice of the compositions. La
dies Of fair complexion grow melancholy
as they listen to Chopin. Wagner is
specially adapted to dark ladies. His
'polychromatic music imparts the req
uisite softness to brunettes, - rendering
them charming and pliable. The lar
gest attendance is found, however, at the
lectures where the pupils are shown how
to sleep-that is to say, with sweet
expression and in graceful pose. IN
fortunately we are not told by what
means this delightful accomplishment is
to be acquired. -Frankffurter Zeitung.

LIGHT OR HEAVY WHEELS,
Cyclists This Summer Have Decided Tl,s
What They Want Is Good Roads.

Cyclists This Summer Have Decided Tia.
What They Want Is Good Roads.
The light wheel problem, which this
year more than ever is absorbing the
attention Of cyclists, is a pretty difficult
one to solve satisfactorily. Everybody
wants to ride light wheel, but every
body does not want to ride one that will
not stand the pounding Of rutty road
or an occasional tumble. Wood rims are
being extensively ridden, but they are
not as strong as metal rims and never
can be. A great many wheels that weigh
from Is to "A pounds are being ridden
over all kinds of roads this season in
Brooklyn and out on Long Island, and
large percentage Of them are coming
to grief. The rider of one has to be as
careful OF his mount as if it were a del
lcate race horse. Universal use of feath-
erwelght wheels will scarcely come until
the roads are far better than they aver
age today. England has had the light
Wheel craze and has got pretty we'll over
1t. American wheelmen like the light
machine and don't want to give it up.
Hence they are crying for good roads
and accomplishing much in that direc-
ton. 1t is maintained by many good
riders that over an ordinary road so
pound wheel is easier and faster than a
20 FOUNDER because it is steadier and
does not lose way in bounding over a
hummock Or a rut. There are many who
predict either better roads, or return
TO heavier wheels next year, or else a
more extensive use Of aluminium in the
construction of bicycles. Brooklyn Ea-

THE ORIGIN OF ]. FIRE En- iIE
Started by Whale, According to the South
Sea Islanders.

Started by a Whale, According to the South
Sea Islanders.
x The South Sea islanders tell curious
story Of the origin Of fire. If they are
to be believed, they came into possession
of that useful element in the following
manner: A great whale was once wash
ed ashore upon one Of their islands during
the prevalence Of a terrible hurricane
The monster became entangled in a
grove of tallow trees "a species Of ever
greens whose branches easily ignitel
and while crashing his teeth in his i'm
potent rage s4.1."l off g spark which
lighted the g.s177s:s III: r=.$>s=sumed both
trees and whale Fire: which are said
to have been perpetuated since the day
Of the ''great whale fire. may yet be
seen burning in many parts of the is
lands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the inhabitants Of the islands to the
north Of the ones in which the "great
whale fire. is preserved, is to the effect
that great air dragon (probably light.
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value and have ever since used the
element for domestic purposes and in
their religious ceremonies They also
have a tradition that the time will come
when the dragon will return for the fire,
and that no man will be able to with
stand him and save the sacred spark ex-
cept he be person born with pink eyes,
fair skin and white hair. For this rea.
son the birth Of an albino is always
hailed as good omen and his or her
person guarded with jealous care, SO as
to preserve life to it's utmost limit.
Marionette mentions seeing a ''fire god''
or ''fre guard" (albino) while on his
visit to the islands who was believed
to be at least 1875 years old and who had
always been provided for by the tribe.
Refinesque, who made South Sea is.
land myths and legends a study fo1
years, is of the opinion that the return
of the dragon for his fire is symbolic Of
death and the fight Of the spirit. ST..

FELL FORTY FEET IN HIS SLEEP.
4 HIan's Somnambulism Attributed to tn,
Excitement Of Getting Work.

Excitement Of Getting Work.
James Reilly Of 603 First avenue, a
painter, IS years old, was badly hurt
yesterday morning by walking off the
roof Of the tenement in a fit of SOM
nambulism, brought on, it is supposed,
by the excitement of obtaining work
after long idleness. About three months
ago he lost his job, and three weeks lat
er his wife died. Since then he has had
hard time taking care of three boys
and a 10-year-old girl. Last Thursday
he found a job.
He was to begin work early yester-
day. He went to bed about $3.50 O'Clock
on Thursday night after putting his
brushes and overalls in a pile beside
him. He was afraid he might not wake
in time and SO might lose the job, and
he told his children that the first one
awake was to call him. A little after
midnight his son Jimmie, who was
restless, Went to his fathers room.
Reilly was still awake, and when his
son left him he said:
Don't forget to call me. my boy''
Two hours later Reilly was found
lying in his nightshirt on the roof of a
stable 40 feet below the roof Of the ten
ement. On the roof Of the tenement
were found Reilly's overalls and paint
brushes. It is believed that Reilly, be-
ing nervous and agitated, walked upon
the roof in his sleep, dreaming he was
about to go to work. He was taken to
Bellevue hospital. His skull is fractur-
ed. None Of his children remembers his
having walked in his sleep before. -

Jesty. The little fellow, Eduardo ERGO
iessl, was arrested in Triest few
weeks ago, charged with making i'm
proper remarks regarding the Austrian
emperor. He was tried in secret and
condemned to hard labor in prison for
two months. The public prosecutor pro-
posed to Danish the boy from the coun-
try, but the courts would not uphold
him IN this. Ercolessi, who is a school
boy, is said to be the youngest person
ever imprisoned for such crime.

steamers an electric light, which will

So long as the approaching ship was not

When the World Was D Cube.

To a person who reads modern books
and modern literature in general, and
who has never had either time, opportu-
nifty or inclination to strike off into the
bypaths which were so frequently and
industriously followed by ancient writ
ers, thinkers and dreamers, the heading
of this ''note'' will be an enigma.
Without further speculation, however,
and following the desire which should
always be uppermost in every writer S
mind-that Of at once getting the sub
ject itself before the reader-I will say
that there was time, centuries since,
Of course, when the learned men Of the
world really taught that the world was
a square, not merely. fiat, but that it
was cube. The primitive geographers
Of Egypt, Assyria and China all taught
that the world was square plane, -
evidence of which may be found on
thousands of ancient monuments in the
countries mentioned, as we'll as in theiz
ancient manuscripts, upon their in
scribed tablets of clay and other early
literary remains.
One Of the most curious discoveries
ever made in Central America concern
ing Toltec belief, symbols, etc., is that
they also had similar idea concerning
the form Of what we now speak of as
the "globe' A late writer on the dis
coveries made among the monumental
ruins Of that country says, ''They
(meaning the Peruvians, Toltecs and
Quiches) believe the world to be a cube,
suspended from the heavens by cords of
gold fastened to each Of it's corners. -
