 The result of the third was to shat ter Napoleon's hopes of ascendancy by sea, and to force him back on European conquests, upon projects which related to the old world and not to the new. Pitt and Nelson did not disappear uI- til that end was attained and England s part in the later wars of Napoleon was that, having, as Pitt said in almost his closing words, saved herself by her energy she saved Europe by her ex- ample and assistance.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE.
Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in
 Good Condition.

Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this Interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such a beacon would be practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas. tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. C.; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.

MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.
He Very Much Resembles . Bird of Par

He Very Much Resembles . Bird of Par
 adise.
 To see rooster that resembles bird of paradise is rare sight, but such one has recently been a common spec tacle in Japan, says the New York World.
 This particular fowl was, apart from his gorgeous appendage, of the ordinary type found in Japan, except that he was a little more proud in his bearing than his fellows.
 It may have been his manner that first led to his selection as the bearer of a most magnificent tail. The brief history that can be obtained of this freak rooster is silent on that point. It prob ably was selected because only an arro- gant, lordly manner could support such a wonderful and variegated appendage. Be that as it may, the rooster did cer- tainly have tail 16 feet long. In it were all the bright colors imaginable. The tail was far more brilliant in it's color ings than the shining feather-fan of q peacock.
 Theneighbors of the Jap displayed no interest in the freak bird, but were amused by those who expressed admira- tion and wonder, who were invariably foreign travellers.
 Then it was discovered that the beau- tiful long tail was not a freak of nature, but the clever work of the ingenious Jap, who had fashioned and fastened the tail in such way as to defy detection except after the most minute scrutiny.

ENEMIES OF ENGLAND.
Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
 Three Great Potentates.


 The three greatest potentates of mod ern times have been England's strenu- ous antagonists-viz., Philip H., Louis XIV. and Napoleon. Of these three Ma poleon was the most powerful, says Blackwood's Magazine, Philip the most deadly. The leaders under whom the English rallied against these world-fa- nous monarchs were, first, Elizabeth and Drake; second, William and Marl- borough; Third, Pitt and Nelson. The result of the first of these great h1s- toric duels was to overturn the founda- tions of Spanish empire, with it's do- minion over the seas, its vast colonial possessions, it's claim under papai bull to an exclusive monopoly of the new world. The result of the second was

Cruel Examiners.

A reporter for the Cincinnati Trib- une lately overheard a dialogue be- tween two suburban gentlemen.
 ''How did your daughter pass her ex- animation for position as teacher?'' asked the first man.
 "Pass!" was the answer. "She didn't pass at all. Maybe you won't believe it, but they asked that poor girl about things that happened before she was born."

WCISSITUDES OF LIFE.
Sequel to an Experience of Struggling
 Young Author.


 Young Author.
 You remember my telling you awhile ago, when we were talking about the vicissitudes of life," said a strug- gling young author, according to the New York Sun, about an experience that I had once? I had a. number of manuscripts, you remember, which I desired to sell and which I sent out to the publications 1 thought them best suited for. One after another they came back, until they had all come back but one. That one, in my own judgment, was much the best of the lot, and had built strong hopes upon it; and when, so to speak, it still didn't come back, I felt sure that it had been accepted. But after waiting awhile longer and not hearing from it, I wrote, asking about it, and the publisher wrote me polite note saying they had no record of it; it had never been received.
 ''That was the story as I told it to you, and I supposed that that was the end of it; and it was pretty tough, wasn't it? But now let me tell you the sequel.
 'fOf course I wrote polite note in reply to the publisher; and in that note I described the manuscript and said that perhaps it might yet be found; and later it was found, and, by snakes. they returned it!
 t t'That was solemn; but it was one of those thine-1 that are so everlaStinply -blastedly solemn that you have to laugh over 'em; and there can't be anything very terrible in anything that you can laugh over; so, you see, come to take it altogether, that experience was not very distressing after all."
