MANUSCRIPT ROOM,
Most Interesting Place In the Whole

Most Interesting Place In the Whole
British Museum.
In the bewildering maze o. the
British museum, where many miles of
shelves and cases are filled with worlds
treasures, there is one little room that
attracts a greater number of visitors
than any other, says Lippincott's. The
crowds that throng about the cases in
this room are composed of persons Of
curiously diverse characteristics 1t Is
center of interest for scholar and
literary people, and yet seems as at
tractive to the least learned Of the WIS.,
itors. This is the room which contains
the department of autographs and man
uscripts, and the treasures within it
are perhaps the most humanity interest
ing in the whole museum. Here are
all manner Of writings by the hands of
the worlds great men of many ages
and countries. There are personal let
tiers of kings and popes, queens, minis
tiers and courtiers, whose names in his
tory, in story and in song seem not to
stand for real men and women, but
rather for legendary beings; and these
letters reveal in some homely phrase
or bit of simple sentiment touch Of
human nature which seems to make
them more akin to those who curiously
scan the documents to-day. Here one
may come. as 1t seems, to actual ac-
quaintance with the most notable of
the characters in Shakespeare's histor-
ical dramas, and get new reading, in
the quaint original, of passages in his
works. Here are charters and state
papers that tell volumes of history in
a few lines letters Of the great relig-
ious reformers. of statesmen, generals,
poets and composers. These autograph
documents, many of them letters from
husband to wife or lover to sweetheart,
show famous personages in very diff
ferent light from that in which they are
commonly seen In the pages of his
tory.

THE HOLY ALLIANCE.
Alexander of Russia Man of Religious
Mind.

Alexander of Russia u Man of Religious
Mind.
The Emperor Alexander of Russia
was man Of mystical, it may be
said a superstitious, habit of mind,
deeply impressed with the divine right
of kings, and, it must be added, with
a corresponding conviction of the obi
cation to govern according to what he
regarded as Christian principles, says
the Nineteenth Century. He proposed,
therefore, that the sovereigns in con-
gress should enter into holy alliance,
in which each pledged himself person.
ally to rule according to the Christian
standard and to come to the assistance
of any other in the case Of domestic
as well as international difficulty
Lord Castlereagh, as the representative
of this country, demurred to a pledge
which his sovereign could not under
take independently of parliament. But
he desired to avoid all possibility of
disagreement with the other powers,
and especially not to offend the suscep-
tibilities of parsonage who had been
SO influential in overcoming the COM
mon enemy; and after correspondence
with Lord Liverpool at home, the
prince regent wrote a friendly letter
expressing his personal interest and
sympathy with the aims of the other
sovereigns, while refraining on the
ground of constitutional necessity from
entering, on his own part, into any
obligations such as were proposed.
The other powers had no such hesita-
ton. They undertook the sacred duty
of crushing trouble at the beginning by
lending their forces to put down any
movement, whether strictly domestic
or not, which threatened to interfere
with an established organization. The
general outcome of the settlement was
a series of guarantees against interna-
tional aggression, supplemented by the
special obligations of the members of
the holy alliance to suppress internal
disorders.

Birds are natures great check on
the excess of insects, and keep the
balance between plant and insect life.
Ten thousand caterpillars, it has been
estimated, could destroy every blade
of grass on an acre of cultivated
ground In thirty days from the time
it is Matched, an ordinary caterpillar
increases 10000 times in bulk, and the
food it lives and grows on is vegetable.
The single population of a single
cherry-tree infested with aphides was
calculated by prominent entomolo-
gist at no less than 100000. The
bird population of cultivated country
districts has been estimated from 700
to 1910 per square mile. This is small
compared with the number of insects,
yet each bird consumes hundreds of
insects every day, and thus, the lat
ter are prevented from becoming the
scourgc they would be but for their
feathered enemies. Argonout

A little boy dropped his drumstick
into a we'll, says the London Tele-
graph. In vain he entreated his pa
rents, the footman, the gardner, the
coachman, the cook, the housemaids,
to go down into the we'll to recover
his drumstick. In his distress bril-
liant experiment occurred to Master
Tommy-he secretly carried off the
plate from the side board and threw it
into the we'll. Great was the conster-
nation when the plate was missed,
and an active search for the robbers
took place. In the midst of the con-
fusion Master Tommy ran with the
news that he had found the plate.
"Where" was the cry. down the
WE'LL" replied Tommy. II saw it
quite plain shining on the bottom
spoons, ladies, bread baskets, salvers
and ALL" The household hurried to
the we'll, at the bottom of which, sure
enough the plate was seen. A ladder
was procured, servant descended
and the plate was brought up. Just
before the last article was brcugt up
Master Tommy whispered to him:
"John, please bri up my drumstick
when you go d a for the soup
iadle."

lily of fifteen-had witnessed the ac-
cident, and running toward him,
shouted:
'Train's cut off dads leg, an he'll
git damages!"
He lifted the old man to inspect his
wounds, but suddenly let him fall
saying in tone of disgust:
"Durn it all! it's his wooden leg
they've cut Off"
"Yes," groaned the old man, as they
wheeled him home, tits just my
burned luck. Can't see ter save me
