YOUTHFUL GREAT MEN.
Famous at an Age When Most Men Begin
Their Careers.

1t Is undeniable that many of the great
est careers have been made by young men.
Washington was but 43 when he was call
ed to the command of the American Revo-
lutionary army. Henry Clay was speaker
of the house of representatives at a. Ste
phen A. Douglas was but 80 when he first
became a candidate for the presidency.
John Jay was chief justice of the United
States at 40. James q. Blaine was only 80
when he became speaker of the house of
representatives. Alexander Hamilton took
charge of the treasury at 30 years of age.
Martin Van Buren, at 80 organized the
famous Albany regency and was governor
of New York at 40. John G. Calhoun in
his forty-second year was vice president
of the United States. John G. Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky was vice president at
32 and a candidate for the presidency at
80. George b. Mcclellan was only 3S when
nominated for the presidency.
In military life especially young men
have been most conspicuous. General Grant
was but 40 years of age when he began
winning a name for himself in our civil
war, and was only 43 when the war closed.
The great Napoleon was master of France
and Europe before his thirtieth birthday.
Alexander the Great had conquered the
world and left it before he was 33 years
old Fremont, the Pathfinder, had ex-
plored the Rocky mountains before he was
80, and was running for the presidency at
40.
Columbus was in the thirties when he
explained his ideas of the western passage
and enlisted the Spanish sovereigns in the
project that led to the discovery of Amer
lea. Richard Golden was but "a when he
founded the anti corn law league, which
revolutionized the commercial policy of
Great Britain. William Pitt, ranked by
some historians as the greatest of modern
British premiers was practically ruler of
England at "a. The list of youthful great
men might easily be extended. Baltimore

The Ambos of the Greek Church.

The raised floor of the ambo Of Sancta
Sophia was rounded on two Sides the 9TH
ers being open to the steps at the east and
west. The breast wall on each side was
largely covered with applied silver wrought
into patterns, and the rest, together with
the parapet slabs to the steps, were inlaid
in ivory, probably carved like the contem-
porary bishops throne at Ravenna. The
body of the ambo, inlaid thus with ivory
and silver was upheld on eight columns,
the underside of the floor stone being hol-
lowed into fiat dome like the nuted soflite
of the still older ambo at ST. Apollinaire
at Ravenna. On either side around the
ambo was semicircle of large columns Of
rosy veined Synnada marble on white
bases, with bronze amulets and gilt CAPT
tails Between the columns breast high
slabs of Hierapolis inclosed space.
The circle of columns stood on a raised
step, and above they were bound together
by carved beam, the pattern being gilt,
with the interspaces painted in ultrama.
rine On this to east and west stood silver
crosses. Their upper limbs, bent like
shepherds crooks, doubtless formed the KIP
monogram. Silver candelabra, cones of
diminishing circles, stood roundabout on
the top of the beam. From the eastern
steps a passageway ran back to the step of
the iconostasis, inclosed on both sides by
marble slabs grooved into posts, bearing u
top rail. This closure of Verde antique
slabs was inlaid in white and red patterns
and gold mosaic.-"SanctaS Sophia

Renting Violins.

Violins are among musical instruments
that are rented. They are hired by visit
ors to the city, by students and by profess
sional players. The visitor may be pro-
fessional player-he is more likely to be an

other distant part of the world who has
brought no instrument with him and now

strument for any length of time he may
desire.
Students of music and beginners who
may not want to invest in good violin
until they know whether they will follow

finally purchase it, the rent is allowed us

al players sometimes hire fine instru-

shall apply upon the purchase. The rent

Actors MeflOfls.

Sir Henry Irving, when studying his
role of Corporal Brewster, in the "Story
of Waterloo" visited Thanet workhouse
to get his realistic touches from the study
of an old soldier, William Sutton, who
was an inmate of that institution. In a
similar way he prepared for the part of
King Lear by visits to the Broadmoor
asylum. Eleonora Duse Is said to have
made extensive study of the unfortunate
girls in n convent kept by the Sisters of
Mercy before undertaking the part of
Santuzza. Mary Anderson, before her re-
tirement from the stage, frequented Pad
dington cburchyard and, seated on the
tomb of Mrs Siddons, diligently studied
her part. Mrs. Kelley, the celebrated
English actress of half century ago, was
equally careful about the details Of her
characters She continually visited New
gate to watch the ways of criminals when
studying for Jack Sheppard, and when
preparing for the part of Nydia, in "The
Last Days of Pompeii, F" she made frequent
visits to an asylum for the blind.-New

The Destructive Invasion Of the Great City
In the Thirteenth Century.

| The siege of Tyre by Alexander, OF SYRIA
cuse by Ncias, of Carthage by Scipio, the
two sieges of Jerusalem by Titus and by
Godfrey, the successive sackings of Rome,
the defense of Rhodes and Malta against
the Turks-none of these can quite equal
In vivid color and breathless interest the
two great captures of Constantinople, and
certainly the last. 1t stands out on the
canvas of history by the magnitude of the
issues involved to religion, to nations, to
civilization, in the glowing incidents of
the struggle, in the heroism of the defense
and of the attack. i'm the dramatic catas-
trophe and personal contrast of two typ
lcal chiefs, one at the head of the conquer
prs and the other of the defeated. And, by
q singular fortune this thrilling drama,
In a great turning point of human civiliza-
ton, has been told In the most splendid
chapter of the most consummate history
which our language has produced.
The storming and sack of Constantine
pie in the fourth crusade by mixed host
of Venetian, Flemish, italian and French
fllibusters, story SO well told by Mr.. K.
Pears in his excellent monograph, was
not only one of the most extraordinary ad
ventures of the middle ages, but one of
the most wanton crimes against civiliza-
tion committed by feudal lawlessness and
religious bigotry at "a time of confusion
and superstition. 1t Is dark blot on the
record of the church and on the memory
of Innocent III, and standing monu-
ment of the anarchy and rapacity to which
feudalism was liable TO degenerate.
The sack of Constantinople by the so
called soldiers of the cross in the thir-
teenth century was far more bloodthirsty,
moro wanton more destructive than the
storming of Constantinople by the follow
ers of Mohammed in the fifteenth century.
1t had far less historic justification, 1t had
more disastrous effects on human progress,
and 1t introduced less valuable and less
enduring type of civilized life. The cru
saders, who had no serious aim but plum
der, effected nothing but destruction.
They practically annihilated the east Ro-
man empire, which never recovered from
this fatal blow. 1t is true that the Byzan-
tine empire had been rapidly decaying for
more than century, and that its indis-
pensable service to civilization was COM
pleted. But the crusading buccaneers
burned down "a great part of the richest
city of Europe, which was museum and
remnant of antiquity; they wantonly de-
stroyed priceless works of art buildings,
books, records and documents They eff
fected nothing of their own purpose, and
what they indirectly caused was IA stimu-
lus to Italian commerce, the dispersion
through Europe of some arts and the re-
moval of the last barrier against the en-
trance of the Moslem into Europe. Fort

Why the Prisoner wept.

A man was on trial for stealing money
from a house. The counsel for the prison
or in his address to the jury said:
Gentlemen, my client is poor man.
He was driven by hunger and want to
take the small sum to buy bread, for it is
in evidence that he did not take the peck
etbook containing 9300 that was in the
same drawer. II he were professional
thief, he would have certainly taken the
pocketbook. 4"
The eloquent counsel for the accused
was interrupted by the CONCLUSIVE sobs of
his client.
"Why do you weepP' asked the magis-
trate who was on the bench.
because didn't sec the pocketbook in
the table drawer" was the reply.
Everybody laughed except the counsel
for the defense London Fun.

A Horse Breaking Machine.

Many years ago a machine was devised
for breaking in young horses to harness,
but did not meet with an overwhelming
success. This has lately been improved
upon, and an ingenious system for train.
ing horses has now come into use.
In the center of large round building
horizontal wheel is set up Long shafts
are attached, and the horses are harnessed
to them after the manner of merry go
round. The trainer sits in the middle and
drives his circular team, one of which is
always n thoroughly broken horse, which
sets the pace and keeps the Others in check
When harnessed to this apparatus, the
young horse has little chance of playing
any tricks, and being of an initiative dis
position he soon learns his lesson. He can
do nothing but move quietly round and
round the ring. He can neither back nor
bolt, for tho force of the majority Is
against him. Parsons Weekly.
