An Emperor's Strange Fancy.

Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies were to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
a tomb to be made in the chapel of the
monastery Of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after his abdication, and on
its completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in coffin and &C:
conpanied by a procession, he was borne
along, while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in the
chapel, where he remained short time
before rising out of the coffin. London

4 PEACEFUL NIGHT.
A Remedy For Seasickness That Worked

A Remedy For Seasickness That Worked
Like a Charm.
''Some people," said an old sea captain
the other Gay, ''are afraid of seasickness
and hesitate to travel by water because OF
this fear A friend of mine came on board
the steamer Plymouth the other evening IN
very happy frame of mind. He had been
troubled for long time when off South
ampton by a feeling of nausea, but now
he was positive that he had found a way to
avoid it by going to bed as soon as he came
on board and remaining there until he ar
rived at his destination.
"On this occasion he babe me hurried
good night, climbed into his berth and in a
few minutes was fast asleep. He slept like
a top until 7o'clock the next morning, with
never a qualm of NAL de mer to disturb his
slumbers. He arose delighted, satisfied
that he had at last found a remedy for the
/ disorder which had caused him so much
misery. He went down into the dining
room and ate hearty meal, though some
what surprised that so few passengers were
stirring. Going on deck with a satisfied
look on his face and a toothpick in his
mouth, he met me-
essay, old man, he exclaimed, that
sleeping racket of mine worked like a
charm. Never had touch of it all night. :
II smiled
"'What are you grinning for?' he asked
in surprise.
Because answered, the Plymouth
has been tied to her dock all night. She
has not moved foot. There was something
the matter with her machinery, and we had
to transfer the passengers. No one sus-
pected that man would 60 to bed at b
o'clock, and so you were overlooked in the
transfer '-Tit-Bits.

Early American Sculptors.

It is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one of
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until 1890,
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1871. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence of
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
It was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger,
Crawford and Mills followed in 1912,
1918 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win
ming for himself European renown
which made him the equal of some of
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of "father Of American
( sculpture. "-Lippincott

What Chinese EDicures Eat.

OAA1AiCsc LplCuFcS AN'S'
A Chinese mandarin has forwarded
the menu of splendid banquet given
at Picking to the foreign diplomatists,
which follows: First came four classic
dishes-namelv, swallow nests with
pigeon eggs, shark fins with crabs, dog
fish with wild ducks, duck and cauli-
flower. Then succeed delicacies served in
cups placed before each guest, swallow
nests, shark fins, plain morels, vegeta-
bles, mushrooms with duck feet, fried
partridge, pigeon in slices. Then there
appeared four dishes-namely, ham in
honey, puree of peas. vegetables and
dogfish; four side dishes, haricot cheese
with bamboo buds "a kind of asparagus,
roots of bamboo, chicken, shellfish,
four hors d'muvres in duplicate, ham
and chicken, fish and gizzard, pork tripe
and vermicelli, duck and pork outlets.
Each guest had also placed before him
plates of almonds, pistachio paste. pears
and oranges. Finally the following were
the roast and boiled meats: Sucking
pig, roast duck, boiled chicken, boiled
pork. There was a profusion of Eu-
ropean and Chinese wines. No opium
was smoked, for official China is not yet
reconciled to the drug which it owes to

Curling by Electricity.

The electric curling iron is very sim
pie. The wires conduct the electricity
into the little stand into which the tongs
are thrust. The latter are made the
proper temperature by heat, which is
generated by the resistance of the wires
to the current. The stands are about
two inches high and are usually nickel
plated, although some of those manu-
featured by firm in Berlin are plated
with gold and have handsome handles.
In travelling the iron and stands occupy
only very small space in satchel. At
tached to the stand is silk cord, which
may be adjusted to an incandescent wire
after screwing OF the little globe.-New

I'll rs It's Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever robbery is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
rejected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like all others, has it's peculiar
advantages. It insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine cases
out Of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. Of course they
may not select" the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations.-Pomona

The Esthetic Sense In Animals.

Animals possess in an appreciate man.
ner certain tastes indicat ting an elemen-
tary sense of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
it's existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty of his plumage or
the fexibility Of his vocal organs. There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense IN a singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has a
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
jects, and he has habit of ornamenting
the entrance to his nest. which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly COL
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
of shells, bits of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in marked manner.
They have their preferences and their
antipathies. of Reviews.

Virginia's Only Slave.

The state of Virginia once owned a
slave-the only one probably the COM
monwealth ever did own. Hewas known
as Ben the Bell Ringer of the Universe
ty of Virginia. The university only had
$500 left over when it was endowed, and
it was proposed to buy a negro with this
amount and keep him as bell ringer.
They bought Ben, and in his time he be-
came a great character at the university.
He knew everybody and was very useful
to everybody. Ben used to get very
drunk on the liberal and constant fees
he received from students. He died in
the Albemarle poorhouse at an advanced
Richmond State.

But with the days Of empire waned thy bloom

And thou vert left alone beside tomb.

Persisted by sword of ruthless Zulu slain,
Thy mother heart could brook no further

But refuge sought in the all love divine.

WIN Fish Should Be Cared For.

Migratory fish are Matched and partly
matured in fresh water. They feed and
grow in the sea, but they are never
caught there, so that their protection
and preservation should be in the hands
of those who are so deeply interested in
making them salable commodity. Be
sides all this there must be some consid-
Grafton for the sportsman, who without
question spends in the neighborhood in
which he fishes 10 times as much money
as all the fish he catches, if sold, would
fetch.-Fishing Gazette.

Two Stories of La BrOhan.


One day on leaving the stage Augustine
Brohan happened to hear two fellow artists
discussing subject which seemed to be ex-
tremely engrossing On questioning them
as to the topic of conversation:
1--WE are speaking of the CREATION they
said
II was not living at that time," she an
swered. smiling, and then added, with q
very serious face, ''you had better ask Nine.
Allan about it."
This lady, who was one of her rivals on
the stage, was often the object of her jokes.
OF course Augustine Brohan had many
adversaries at the Coincide Franchise.
The unsparing nature of her wit and her
brilliant success as an artistic were sufficient
to give rise to petty quarrels. She used
her power of repartee to rid herself of her
assailants.
On one occasion one of them came to her
and said laughingly, as if she had joke
to tell:
my dear, let me tell you some stupid
thing to make you laugh"
"You have only to open your mouth"
said Augustine. with an assumption of
calm indiference.-Chicago Post.

JOHN BOYD THAcHER A WITNESS.
He Fully vedaes Disputed world's Fair Award

John Boyd Thacher Is laconic and
decisive In his statements. During
the lively campaign just closed in
New York, this marked him especi-
ally as chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. 1t was equally
true of him as chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee on Awards at the
Worlds Fair. This Is the positiveand
sententious way in which he veri-
fies in an official letter, the honors
won by Or. Prices Baking Powder:
Il herewith enclose you an official
copy Of your award, which in due
time will be Inscribed in the diploma
and forwarded" Thus the question
respecting the award, raised by an
envious New Yor rival, is settled be-
yond cavil. This same rival by the
way is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records prove
this claim wholly false as they show
the New York pretender was not so
much as an exhibitor at the Worlds
Fair
