a Monster Palace.

Spain possesses one of the largest
buildings III the world. It is at once a
palace, "a museum, a library, picture
gallery, monastery, church and a
burial place, This wonderful edifice is
called the Escorial, although the name
is very generally corrupted both in Eng
land and America into "Escurial. ="
The Escorial was commenced in 1868
by order of Philip II Of Spain and was
intended partly as a royal burying place
for the kings Of Spain and partly as a
COMMUNICATION of Philips victory over
the French at st, Quentin in 1867. 1t is
built entirely Of granite and measures
744 feet in length by $50 feet in breadth.
AT each corner is a tower 200 feet in
height. The building is supposed to
represent an enormous gridiron lying
upside down, and this shape is believed
to have reference TO st. Lawrence, who
was martyred on gridiron.
Twenty one years were spent in build
ing it, and it cost over SIP, 900, 600. 1t
has been twice partly destroyed by light
ming and was sacked by the French SOL

G.. M. writes to The Journal: "Should
you say, 1 made him cough So, or Il
made him cough up $5?' Z"
This is ticklish question. Unfor-
tunately the slang dictionaries, even
Farmer and Henley's, do not know the
slang phrase. Nor is there any allusion
to it in the great Oxford dictionary.
Three centuries ago there was phrase
"to cough (any one) daw, fool, nome, "
meaning "to make fool Of, " also "to
prove oneself fool, " but this "cough"
may have been the obsolete verb "cough"
or "cotf," to purchase, acquire, get.
And five centuries ago "to cough" also
meant "to utter, " "to disclose" as in
this sentence, "To make her confess the
things testified against her, and also to
cough out the rest"
We do not find anywhere allusion to
this modern slang. We ourselves regard
cough up" as the proper expression,
and we use it when we are moving i'll
the first and gilded circles. Boston

William Carstairs, the Scotch divine
who for IA years served William III as
confidential secretary and adviser in
chief, had been implicated in the Rye
House plot, conspiracy to assassinate
Charles II and place Monmouth on the
throne. He was put to the excruciating
torture of the thumbkins, or thumb
screws which he endured heroically,
without confessing or duplicating 9TH
ers.
After Carstairs became the private
adviser of William be was presented
with the instrument by which he had
been tortured. The king, wishing to see
the measure of fOrtitude necessary to
endure the terrible torture without
making confession of some sort, placed
his thumbs in the machine and told
Carstairs to turn the screw. He turned
slowly and cautiously.
1T is unpleasant, said King Will
liam, yet it might be endured. You
are triting with me. Turn the screw
so that | may really feel pain similar
to that you felt. -
Carstairs turned the screw sharply.
The king cried out, and when released
said that under such pain he would
have confessed to anything, true or
false

Geological Deductions.

Geology was once defined by Lord
Salisbury as "the science of the what
might have been." Some American
geologists prefer to regard it as the sci
ence of the what may be. Pictures have
often been drawn of the destruction of
Toronto and the devastation of southern
Ontario and Quebec by a flood let loose
when the great lakes are emptied owing
to the continued recession of Niagara
falls
Professor G.. K. Gilbert now tells us
that long before this disaster is due Nj
agara will have been destroyed by other
processes. Some slow changes of level
are now taking place over the whole
lake region. The eastern outlet will be
closed and the lakes drained by dis
charging from the southern end of Lake
Michigan into the basin of the Missis-
sippi. The change in the river system
will begin in about 1000 years time.
The evidence adduced by Professor Gill
bert in support of this prophecy is of
great interest, although only his pre-
liminary report has yet been published.

Position In Society.

To all those who spend their time
wondering how other people live we
would suggest that an examination of
the PLAINTIFFS petition in the case of
Schneider versus Hosier, q Ohio st.
9S, might throw some light on the sub.
ject. 1t was suit under civil damage
act, and the plaintiff alleged in her Pc
tition that she twas the wife of one
Zimri Hosier, on whose good conduct,
frugality and personal labor she was
dependent for the support of herself and
their seven minor children, for the
proper culture and moral training of
the latter, and, to a good extent, for
her own position in society. The said
Zimri Hosier, when not intoxicated or
laboring under the effects of intoxica-
ton, was an industrious laboring man
and regularly earned and received for
his labor 81. 80 a day" There's man
agement for you. Seven children and a
wife supported, the children properly
cultured and morally trained and the
wifes position in society maintained
all on $l.50 day. Perhaps there may
have been extenuating circumstances in
the intoxication of Zimri-Law Notes.

Arithmetic and Medicine.

1t is an honest quackery that confesses
it's own blunders, still ignorant that
they are nothing worse.
A whaling skipper, in the old days.
carried medicine chest and table of
directions. One of the rules ran, For
sore throat with fever, give a table
spoonful of No. 15."
"Well, it so happened, explained
the captain, "that No. 10 was all used
up, so l gave the man dessertspoonful
of No. and another of No. 10,
and don t think the chap that drew
up the table could have been good at
figures; or else, what's just as likely,
the medicines were all shams. Either
way, it was hard on poor Bill. He died

Truth and Fiction.

"Struwwelpeter," one of the pic
lures, represents little maiden, supine
in bed, very ill-and no wonder-with
an immense cherry tree growing out of
her mouth. This was the sad result of
swallowing the stones along with the
fruit, in spite of all warnings. But we
all know that truth is stranger than
fiction, and the Petersburgskaya Gazeta
of June 26 and July 8, 1897, quotes the
following mplitication of this saying
from the foreign papers:
"A little girl years of age, Amelia
L., whose father worked at the sawmills
i'll Belgard (Ain), was at play the other
day, when she managed to push the
seed of plane tree deep into her ear
Shortly after she began to experience
acute pains, and it was found that the
seed had taken root in the waxy secre-
tions of the ear and was growing apace
The father proceeded to cautiously up
root the intrusive plant, and the girl
has now recovered"
If this story is true, it is to be hoped
that Miss Amelia L., now that her ear
is once more free and in working order,
will incline it to hearken to the exhorta-
tions of her elders and will not go on
planting plane trees in such obviously
uncongenial soil. Notes and Queries

THE DANGER OF BEAUTY.

I never read the papers without feeling
content
That both my eyes are twisted and my nose is
slightly bent.
I'm glad my mouth is out of line and that my
teeth are few,
And if | had wealth of hair don't know
what I'd do
"tny foot" lilly hand" would fill me
with dismay,
And if had slender waist I'd sicken in a
day,
For have noticed from the first, as strange ms
it may seem,
The girl who gets the worst of it is ''lovcly
II dream.''
The papers never tell about woman being
shot,
Or mangled by trolley car, or married to
sot,
Or forced at point of pistol her last fifty cents
to lose,
But that her eyes 'limpid" and her boots
number twos
So can live in sweet content, without the
slightest fear
That trouble or calamity will ever hover near,
And when see my mistit face it $ some relief
to know
That I'll outlve the beauties by a hundred
years or 50!

A Bag Full of Breath.

The "pneumatophor, an Austrian
invention for enabling miners. firemen,
etc., to breathe when surrounded by
after damp, smoke or noxious fumes of
any kind, consists of an alright rubber
bag containing steel bottle of pure
oxygen at pressure of 100 liters and a
metal protected glass bottle containing
a 20 per cent solution of caustic soda.
The oxygen can be admitted by hand
screw into the bag and drawn into the
mouth through rubber tube, the nose
being closed by clip. The turn of an
other hand screw breaks the glass bottle,
allowing the caustic soda to flow out
and be absorbed by knitted network
in the bag to absorb the carbonic acid
exhaled, allowing the oxygen to be re-
breathed, the apparatus being capable
of furnishing oxygen enough to last
from 80 to 80 minutes, as has been at
tested by numerous experiments.
