SOLD FOR OLD JUNK.

birthplace of Faust. the Famous Con-
jurer, Goes to Secondhand Dealer.
The house in Roda, SaXe-Altenburg,
where DR.. Johann Faust, the famous
magician and soothsayer of legendary
fame, was born toward the last quar-
ter of the fifteenth century, was
Knocked down to native junk dealer
for S25 the other day, and is now being
dismantled. Five years ago, when the
worlds fair commission dispatched "A
small army of curiosity hunters to all
parts of the globe to seek attractions,
the good people Of Roda asked cool
100000 for the little pile of brick, wood,
iron, mortar and dust that was to be
taken down and regretted in this city.
But the price was considered too stiff,
and the negotiations fell through. In
order that the house might not fall
down, the municipal fathers of the lit
tie town ordered its immediate demoli-
ton, says the New York Sun.
This historic structure stood until
quite recently on a rock eminence near
the Jenaisches Thor Getty gate). Itwas
a frame building, very rickety, and had
been extensively repaired. There is a
legend that it dated back to the year
145O or 400, as do many other buildings
of Roda. That Faust saw the light in
one of its dingy rooms, with floors of
trampled earth and tiny windows in
leaden frames, is attested by several
authentic statements in the town chron-
icle, and also in the Faust Buch, printed
in 1887, from which all later writers on
the Faust legend quote, and which is
their chief authority.

The wind blew out the last match
which the fur-coated broker had about
his person, and he turned to the boy and
said

The lad eyed the gentleman furtively
as he inquired: Say, mister, is that
demand or a request?"
Instead of being angry at this reproof
the gentleman-for he was such-re-
piled kindly:
"a request, my boy, a humble request;
and I'll take a couple of evening papers,

A Jubilee,

There has been a great discussion as
to what would be a suitable name for
this year, in view of the fact that it is
Queen Victoria's Goth year as reign
ing monarch. When the 5Oth year was
celebrated, it was named the Jubilee
year. This recalls the story of an old
lady, who was asked by her grandchild:
Whatever is the meaning of this year
Jubilee" "Well, my dear" was the
wise answer, cit is this way. If you
have been married to a man so years,
and the man is alive, it is golden we'd
ding; if the man is dead, it is n jubilee
