OF A BEGGAR.

1t Is quite a little story, slight and
thin; SO thin even, SO slight, that l
fear, in fixing it on paper with written
words, to rob it of its frail grace, it's
light SAVIOR. Why, then, when it was
related to us one evening, in all the
complicated and decorated luxury of
modern talk, by the charming woman
who was the heroine of the episode
Why did it make such a tenacious i'm
preston Upon us all that it has become,
in one little corner of Partisan life, one
Of those classic tales, patrimony OF
each group of society, to which allu-
sion is always understood and well
coined? Perhaps because it was a clear
gap in the chatter of intidelity, in the
~hackneyed gossip Of politics and liter
allure. Perhaps because, as an attitude,
a gesture at times may suffice to reveal
to us a whole feminine body beneath
its clothing-at times it also needs but
a few sincere words uttered by a
omar to disrobe her soul completely.
We had been talking of mysterious
solicitations, today classed and named
by science. from which SO few of us are
exempt, which invincibly compel some
to add up the flowers Of a wallpaper,
the volumes Of a library, everything
that is additional, under their eyes;
others to impose upon themselves the
task, walking along the side path Of a
street, to reach such a gas-jet before

abreast Of them. Or a public clock has
struck its last note. and others, again,
each night before going to bed, to prac-
tice strange habits Of disposing of OBJ
Jects, visiting ~cupboards and Golfers.
We discussed all the light diseases Of
our contemporary brains. crumbs of
monomania and madness transmitted
by inheritance after inheritance, and
finally dispersed throughout the whole
OF our worn humanity. And we all
confessed our weakness, the absurdi-
ties of our manias, treasured by the
confession Of the others, delighted to
find them like ourselves, worse even
than ourselves.
A young woman had said nothing.
She listened to us, a touch of surprise
on her peaceful, pretty visage, which
was framed by even, black coils.
Somebody asked her: "And you,
madam, are you quite free of our mod
ern manias? Have you not a single
little nervous habit to confess?"
She appeared to search her memory
in all sincerity. She made a sign with

Ladrones, longitude, 1i5 degrees east,

In the majority of these cases the
longitude is taken from government
charts. The others are Appropriated,
but SO nearly that exact measurements
will not show substantial variation. 1t
will be seen, therefore, with the exact
west longitude of Porto Rico set down
against an equally exact east longitude,
counting both from Greenwich, for
Manila, the total distance in degrees,
etc, and hours is fixed. The interme-
diate points outside of the continental
limits are estimated from their loca-
ton on the charts and may vary as
much as a couple of degrees. This,
however, would not make more than
eight minutes in time variation.

Roman Canals In Britain.

The first canals in Britain were con-
.structed by the Romans. OF these the
most remarkable are the Caer Dyke
and Foss Dyke cuts in Lincolnshire,
which are by general consent admit
ted to have been of Roman origin.
The former extends from Petersbor-
ough to the River Whitman, near the
City of Lincoln, a distance Of about
forty miles, and the latter from Lin
coin to the River Trent, near Torskey,
a distance of eleven miles. OF the Caer
Dyke the name only now remains, but
the Foss Dyke, though of Roman
origin, still exists, and is the oldest
British canal. Foss Dyke, according to
Camden, was deepened and rendered
more navigable in 1121, by Henry L.
About 1841 it was widened to the
minimum breadth Of As feet and deep
ened to the extent Of six feet through
out, and thus this ancient canal, which
is quoted by Telford and Nimmo as
"the oldest artificial canal in Britain"
was restored to a state of perfect eff
cheney, at a cost Of forty thousand
pounds.

All About the Super.

One who meets with a disappoint-
ment is fortunate indeed if he can
make somebody else responsible. Wit
ness the Italian farmer who decided
that, better late than never, he would
hear one of Verdi's operas. He took
his ticket, travelled up to Milan from
the very depths of the country, and, Sc
curing a good seat, listened to Aida"
but he did not like the music at all,
and he wrote to the composer to say
SO. Under the circumstances, the far
mer added, he hoped that Verdi would
see the bleness of at once re-
turning him his money. There was
his railroad fare, his ticket of admis-
sion, and his supper at Milan, for
which he inclosed the bill. The macs
tro entered fully into the humor of the
situation. He wrote back a polite
letter regretting that his music had
failed to please, and inclosing the rail-
way fare and the price of admission.
But he added that, as the farmer would
have had to provide himself with sup
per at home, he could not admit the
justice Of that part of the claim, and
he absolutely declined to pay for the
supper at Milan.

in Manila is twelve hours and eight
cen minutes. In other words. when it
was 5 a. m. in Porto Rico yesterday
morning it was 4:42 p. m. Friday in
Manila. This is, Of course, reckon
ing all from east to west. OF course
out somewhere in the mighty Pacific
they play fantastic tricks and take
their time from Toxic, Singapore or
some other oriental city and lose a
day, but that is another story.
But the sur pays no attention to the
fantasies of man; he just goes on and
shows his face as the earth reyolves on
Its axis So it will be seen with this
wide variation of time covering thou
sands OF miles, the sun will not set in
Manila on Friday before it has made
the Atlantic ruby red in the vicinity of
the eastern coast of the western con
tinent. In Porto Rico it will have lift
ed its disc above the tumbling a
for several minutes in the summer
and not be far away in the dead Of
winter. So the flag is never wholly
in the dark these days. as the sun
flashes on It's ensign and stripes some
where in the earth every minute of the
day.
These United States did not need to
go beyond their original limits-that
is, their transcontinental limits-to be
larger than any other land on earth.
The United States on this continent,
excluding Alaska and measuring in de-
grees of longitude only continuous ter
ritory, covers SIS degrees. This limit
is taking San Francisco as the west
tern objective, although the California
city is not as far west as some others
farther north. The difference in time
between the extreme eastern coast at
Eastport and San Francisco is three
hours and forty minutes, quite an ex-
tent of territory. From the seat Of
government the time difference is just
three hours.
Westward the star Of empire, etc,
has been exemplihed in nearly all that
the United States have done. Most
people would believe that when Hawaii
and the rest Of the Sandwich group
were taken in by treaty that the west
ward limits were extended. yet this is
far from being true. Honolulu is 10
degrees in Longitude, OF forty minutes
ia time, east OF Dawson City. Alaska,
and over an hour east Of the extreme
western limits OF the northern terri
SSpry. But q big jump was made to the
west until longitude began to read
ext when Dewey licked Montejo II
Manila bay.

Humiliation a Rival.

1t is not a moOted question in Per-
STA whether ome dress for the eyes
of men or those Of women, as there on
ly women see women, at parties. In
her book, Through Persia on a Side
Saddle" Miss Sykes, writing Of the
women of Teheran, the capital of Per-
STA, confesses that ever Mohammedan
isolation does not prevent women from
being enviOus of other women if they
are dressed better than themselves.
She writes: Il was told that many of
the fine ladies would give large sums
in the European shops of Teheran for
any brOcade of silk which struck their
fancy, and would wear it at the next
party to which they invited their
friends, Haunting the new toilette os-
t~entatiously before them to fire their
jealousy. Usually. however, one of
the guests would pay her hostess out
by buying some more of the same ma
terial and having it made up for one Of
her slave ome She then would in
Vlte a large company to tea, and the
cups would be handed round by a ne
gress adorned in the rich silks with
which the former hostess is arrayed.
Later on the slave would dance before
the guests. The great lady, who has
been invited to be mortified, would be
both disappointed and Inundated. The
lady who had given the party would
be pleased at vexing her rival.

Umpired His Own Assassination.

Frank Mchan, the travelling sales
man who was shot last week at Ko-
komo, Ind, by Farmer Perry Burns, is
still alive, and the doctors say he will
recover, notwithstanding the fact that
a Winchester bullet grazed his heart
and passed entirely through his body.
1t develops that Burns wife was in
Mehan's rooms when the latter stood
on the porch and told the enraged
husband to shoot. The nerve of Me-
han in inviting death was a marvellous
performance, knowing as he did that
the man had a repeating rifle. Like
he might have been umpiring a game
of baseball, Mehan, after the first shot,
exclaimed: "One ball, too wide" The
next n he said: 1.-TWO balls, too
high" and to the third shot, which
took effect, he exclaimed: Strike,
I'm OUT" and fell to the floor.

Uncle Sans Territory Now Extends Over
Half Way Round the Earth.

incidentally these United States
cover a large amount of distance in
latitude. They run from the arctic
circle to within hailing distance of the
equator. If an enormous flag were
spread out so that it would take in
everything over which it now floats
the accurate measurements would Just
about bring all within it's borders.
The Philippines run down to within
five degrees north of the equator: the
northern cape Of Alaska goes well up
to II or 73 degrees north latitude. SO
it will be seen that a man must do a
power of sailing north, south, east and
west to set away from parallels of
latitude and longitude from which the
flag Of America is absent.
Dramatically the country now runs
the entire gamut Of the earth. 1t mas
possessions in the torrid climes very
near the central belt; it runs for de-
grees into the frigid at the top of the
scale. 1t takes in every phase of at
~mOSpheric manifestation and disturb
ance from a typhoon to a blizzard. 1t
ranges from chimes where ice is never
absent to those where ice is never
known. In some of the new possess
sions ice could scarcely be maintained
with the ammonia process, while in
some parts Of Alaska it would scarce
~ yield to electricity.
This is the chart which the nation
offers in its race with the sun, Start

Rico in longitude 65 degrees so min

THE FLAGS or TRUCE,
They Amused and Exaspcrated Men in
the Trenches.

the Trenches.
The days that followed July 8 were
filled with innumerable visits to the
Spanish lines under flags of truce, says
Richard Harding Davis in Scribner's.
TO the men in the pits, who knew
nothing of the ~exigencies OF diplomacy,
these virgin flags were as offensive as
those of red are to the bull. The men
had placed their own flags along the
entire line Of trenches, and, though
they afforded the enemy a perfect tar
get and fixed Cur position as clearly
as buOys mark out a race course, the
men wanted the flags there and so
there they remained. The trenches
formed a horseshoe curve five miles in
length, and the entire line was defiant
~ decorated with our flags. When
they tluttered in the wind at full
length and the sun kissed their colors
they made one Of the most inspiring
and beautiful pictures of the war. The
men would crouch for hours in the pits
with these flags rustling above them
and felt we'll repaid for their service;
but when they saw craving across the
valley below the long. white flag Of
truce their watchfulness seemed vast
ed, their vigilance became a farce, and
they Knocked and scoffed at the white
flag bitterly. These flags were sent in
SO frequently that the men compared
them to the different war extras of a
daily paper, and would ask: Vas that
10 O'Clock edition gone in YETI" and
is this the baseball edition coming
out now, or is it an eXtry?"

oLEEIl\H LIN LIE HADE
her head: mo, no." We felt that she
spoke the truth, so much did all that
we saw and knew of her, her restful
bearing, her renown as an unblemished
wife, lift her above the fashionable
dolls who had just been confessing the
unsettled state of their systems.
Doubtless her modesty feared the
boast Of so complete an indemnity
when everyone around her had ac-
knowledged all sorts of little troubles.
She corrected herself:
Good heavens! l can't say that l
habitually add up the cab numbers, or
that l make an inventory of all my
dresses before going to bed. Still, the
other day | experienced something
that sufficiently resembles what you
have been describing. If l have under
stood you quite-a kind of interior i'm
p~ulsion, a force which compels you to
accomplish an Indifferent act on the
DEATH"
We insisted on hearing the story,
and she told it most graciously, with
the air of begging pardon for the claim
on the attention of others by so slight
an adventure.
"In two words, this is what happened
to me. Five or six days ago I had gone
out with my little girl, Suzon-you
know her, she is 81 was taking her
to her class, for this big girl already
follows classes. AS it was very fine
we had decided on going on foot by
the Champs Elysees and the boule-
wards from my home to the Rue La
fitte. And SO we were walking along
quite gay, chattering together, when at
the top of the Rond Point a lame man,
rather young, limped up to us holding
out his hand without saying anything.
I carried my parasol in my right hand;
with my left hand held up my skirts;
1 confess I had not the patience to stop
and hunt for my purse. l went on and
gave nothing to the beggar.
"Suzon and I continued to walk
along the Champs Elysees. The little
one had suddenly ceased to talk, and I
also, without quite knowing why, no
longer felt any wish to talk. We were
at the Place de la Concorde, and yet
we had neither of us opened our lips
since we had passed the beggar. And
little by little I felt stir and increase a
kind of inward disquietude, and uneasi-
ness, the feeling of having accom-
plished an %irreparable action, of being
threatened, for that very reason, with
vague neriI in the future. In general T
strive to see clearly within myself, as
far as possible. And thus, all in walk
Ing. I began to examine my con-
science.
LET us see,' I said to myself, have
! sinned very %grievously against char
ity In giving nothing to that beggar?
I never pretend to regard 1t as my
