Julius Caesar.

Of all great conquerors, writes Marion
Crawford in ''Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome" he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty. Of all great lawgivers, he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern justice. OF all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal of
glory, Cesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and, dying, left mankind a future in
the memory of his past. He is the M
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have. The world
could have been as it is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne, without
Napoleon. 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius julius

TAYLoURs AND SMITHS.

They Were the CommOnest Trade
In the Thirteenth Century.
The manufacture of leather in the
thirteenth century seems to have been
important, showing that leather jenkins
and breeches were commonly worn. We
have 10 skynners, 40 barkars, 6 sad
delers, 8 cordeweners, 1877 souters,
(shoemakers) and s glovers. The sur
name feuster is a trade name denoting
a maker of pack saddles.
The commonest trades are taylour and
smyth, since one lived in almost every
village. The taylours number 407, of
whom 40 are called by the Latin name
of cissor. In addition to 261 smyths,
several are specialized. There are two
arusmyths, three lokesmyths, three
goldsmyths, five ferours (shoeing
smiths) and six marshalls (farriers).
The wright wrought both in wood
and metal. The number ~catalogued is
1856, of whom 81 are called by the Latin
name faber French favre), N of the
few cases in which the Latin transla-
ton of a trade name has become a COM
mon The wryghts' trade, like
that Of the smyths, was specialized.
The arkwryght made the great arks or
chests in which the clothes or meal
were stored, and we find a plowwryght,
a wheelwryght, two shippewryghts, II
~cartwryghts and two glasswryghts (gla-
ziers), who were probably concerned
with the windows of churches. Glass
windows in houses were rare, as is still
the case in Sicily OF Egypt.
The bakesters are few (15), suggesting
that families baked their own bread.
There are 26 butchers (feshewer, bocher
or carnifex), whence Labouchere, while
the urname potter shows that this
trade was in existence. The fysshers
(43), were opulent, being taxed 10 times
as much as laborers. Notes and Que

Messages by vibration.

Curiously enough, the fact appears,
according to a recent traveller among
the Indians of Catuquinarn, between
the rivers Embrya and Embyrasu, that
those people have long employed a wire
less telephony, but rather after the or
der of unwritten science.
1t is made by digging a hole in the
ground inside a house and laying the
bottom with coarse sand, well piled.
On this is laid a wooden drum or hol-
low cylinder of wood, half filed with
fine sand and layers of broken wood,
bone and powdered mica-the upper
part of the cylinder, which is empty,
rising above the floor of the hut and
closed first by leather, then by wood,
and lastly by india rubber. Outside,
the cylinder is packed round with frag-
ments of wood, leather and resins, and
covered with hard rubber at the level
of the soil.
To use this peculiar apparatus the
drum is struck by a wooden hammer,
and the vibration is evidently transmit
ted through the soil. The answer is
heard in the drum, which acts as a
%resonator, and messages are thus sent
yer 1, 500 yards from house to house.

THE POWER OF WILL.
He Wanted to Live Four Days, and
He Succeeded.

1t would be vain to attempt to de-
scribe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his biogra-
pher. One of the stories he used to tell
is of peculiar interest, not only for its
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old %pensioner was a patient Of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was despaired of, and, in fact, his death
was hourly expected. One morning,
having many patients to carr for and
believing that the pensioner was uncon
scious and past help, DR.. Stokes passed
his bed without stopping, The patient
was greatly distressed and cried out;
Don't pass me by, docther; you
must keep me alive for four days"
"We will keep you as long as we
can, my poor fellow, answered Stokes,
''but why for four days particularly 2"
Because" was the reply, ''my pen
sion will be due then, and / want the
money for my wife and children. Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
if l sleep l shall die"
On the third day after this, to the
amazement of Stokes and others, the
patient was still breathing. On the
morning of the fourth day he was alive
and conscious, and on entering the
ward Stokes saw him holding in his
hand the certificate which required sig
nature. As the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped:
''Sign, signp'
The doctor quickly complied, and the
man sank back exhausted and within a
few minutes crossed his hands over his
breast and said, 1.-THE Lord have mercy
on my SOUL" and quietly breathed his
last,

"There is a rather crusty old gentle
man attending my church, says a De-

several weeks led me to call upon him.
He is not a commitment, and l am

teal. He is very pronounced in his po-
litical views, and as conversational ma
terial ran rather short I sought to in
terest him by asking, 'How's politicsR'

The National Advertiser tells a story
of an old bachelor who bought a pair Of
socks and found attached to one of them
a slip of paper with these words: 81 am
a young lady of 30 and would like to
correspond with a bachelor with a view
to matrimony." Name and address
were given.
The bachelor wrote, and in a few
days got this letter: Mamma was mar
ried 30 years ago.. The merchant you
bought those socks from evidently did
not advertise or he would have sold
them long ago, Mamma handed me your
letter and said possibly l might suit

Bamboo grows very thriftily in Cali
fornia bottom lands, and is found to be
a very useful plant. The seed of many
species resembles rice, and is almost as
valuable for feed. The stock may be
used in the building of bridges, fences
and barns and in the manufacture of
water pipes, furniture and boxes.

When a man owns a blooded horse he is
always careful of it's health. He looks
after its diet and is particular that the
feeding shall be regular and right. While
he is doing this it is likely as not that he
is himself suffering from some disease or
disorder. When the trouble gets so bad
that he cannot work, he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse at the
start. Good. pure, rich, red blood is the
best insurance against disease of any kind.
Almost all diseases come from impure or
impoverished blood. Keep the blood pure
and strong and disease can find no foot
hold. That is the principle upon which
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
works. 1t cleanses, puriies and enriches
the blood, puts and keeps the whole body
in perfect order; makes appetite good, di-
gestion strong, assimilation perfect. 1t
brings ruddy, yirile health. 1t builds up
solid, wholesome flesh mot fat) when,
from any cause, reduced below the healthy
standard.

of the summer sea a flying fsh-the
humming bird of ocean-fashed
athwart our bows and then, not a dozen
yards distant, the waters parted and a
huge tuna, in its Respondent livery of
blue and silver, swooped with indescrib-
able strength and rapidity upon its
quarry, catching it, mirabile dictu, in
midair. In a fraction of a second the
deed was done. The ocean, recording
the splash of the leviathan, rippled ap-
plause, and our questions battered like
hail upon the somewhat hard under
standing of our boatman, a son of Al
SAGE.
