THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by a story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old veStments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in a piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneal, thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that l have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

"The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that "a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration The sum of S9,0O0,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it. and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the , construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,0C0,O0O, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50. 100000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering z works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between ' Chicago and the Mississippi river. The
 stance is only 30 miles between Lake
 4ichigan and the Illinois river, and one gan easily see the startling nature of d nnion of the great lakes and the
 ther of waters.'"

CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.

Carpets in the fourteenth century were unknown iuyuries, says Good Words. but the fashion of strewing the apart ments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Rushes were still used iii the retainers' hall, but for the better rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed.
 In the fourteenth century windows were apertuiSs filled with glass so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated tie strong but bad ly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that 1t was the duty of the sert;rg men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned, d;:Ini, and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the at mospherc in such costantly closed rooms, fresh ar Icing only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies.
 From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scant- fly furnished were these ancient man. sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with fagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made ot leather.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of a

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of a
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber. land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When 1 did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out to the fence.
 'Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long"
 "You must be doing well?'
 ''I think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 ''I'm always glad to help, if l can."
 "I knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez I am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.
