The Inst GladiatOrfal Combat.

Gladlatorial games were prohibited
by an edict of the Emperor Constan-
tine in A. D. 325, but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-
probation of the people, the edict was
allowed to fall into disuse, and its pen
alties were never visited on it's vio-
lators. During the reign Of Honorius
the defeat of the Goths in Italy was
celebrated by games, but in the midst
Of the fights In the amphltheater OF
Vespasian monk named Telemachus
found his way into the arena and part
ed the combatants with large pro-
cessional cross.
The populace swarmed over the bar
ricades and tore the monk to pieces,
but the moral effect of the heroic act
was permanent, and in A. d. 4O4 an
imperial edict abolished gladiatorial
sports in the Coliseum and shortly aft
err throughout the Roman empire. The
fight stopped by Telemachus was the
last In the Coliseum and that structure
Is now consecratcd to the honor OF
Telemachus and the Christian martyrs
who persisted in the prosecutions by
Nero and other emperors.

porturue.e Hotel clocks.

It is the fashion for Portuguese
Clicks to strike the hour twice over.
Heaven only knows why, for certainly
the people arc not so keen about the
profitable use of their time that they
require to be reminded thus Of Its
flight. The habit is apt to be irritating,
especially In the night, when your bed,
like enough a straw mattress and a
bran pillow, chances to be near one Of
these monsters which dings its fout
and twenty strokes at midnight, with
q pause between the dozens which
merely stimulates expectation. If there
are five clocks in the establishment, all
with sonorous works-and the suppose
ton is reasonable-they will, Of course,
differ widely, so that twenty-four may
be striking, with intervals, during a
maddening half hour.
You may happen to want to know
badly which one of the monsters Is the
least mendacious, and the bells at your
bed head communicate with two serv-
ants, one Gallego and the other a
Portuguese. In such case ring for the
despised stranger without hesitation.
He will be with you In minute, fresh
and smiling, though half naked, and
If he distrusts his own judgment about
the clocks he will not mind saying so
and hasten to awaken the landlord
himself rather than that you should
remain in doubt.
regret to add that his more conceit-
ed fellow servant will more probably
say whatever first comes to his tongue,
more heedful of his own comfort than
of your desires.-Chambers Journal.

Two Cruel Punish M c n t. :.

The gantlope, or gauntlet, was mill
tary and naval punishment for theft.
A man had to run the gantlet of
long file of his fellow soldiers, each
provided with switch, and to prevent
the sinner going too rapidly and to see
that no man, impelled by motives Of
friendliness or kindness, failed to strike
hard, Il sergeant walked backward, fac
ing the said sinner, with a halberd
pointed at the lattcrs breast.
After lengthy experiment this was
found to be inconvenient and dcgrad-
ing, so recourse was had to another
method, a variety of the same species
Of torture. The offender was tied to
four halberds, three in a triangle and
q fourth across. The regiment or COM
pany then filed off, the cat-o'-nine-tails
was placed in the hands Of the first
man, who gave the culprit lash and
passed on, handing the cat to the sec
ond, who also gave lash, and so the
game went merrily on until the offensc
had been xplated.-LOndon Graphic.

The ArtiChOke.

The artichoke has nothing to do with
art or the choking of 1t. The artichoke
is an innocent vegetable, known to the
Arabians as the ardischauki. or earth
thorn. The Jerusalem artichoke was
never seen near jerusalem. Its first
name Is corruption Of the Italian g.
rasole, which means turning to the sun.
1t Is a species Of sunflower, bearing a

SpfIers' Webs.

The webs of those spiders which spin
snares out of doors, as the geometrical
garden spider are formed of two sorts
of silk, one of which Is used for the
main cables and the radiating threads,
the other for the concentric threads.
The latter are thickly studded with
minute globules Of viscous substance,
which retains the fly, gnat or moth
that may blunder against them, while
the former are quite dry and harmless.
A third kind of silk Is produced by the
busy little spinner when some such
large insect as a wasp has become en-
tangled in the web and threatens to
break the delicate structure in its strug-
giles. This takes the form of an envel-
oping mass, which is suddenly produc-
ed and which effectually prevents any
further gyrations on the part Of the
captured insect.-Cornhill Magazine.

Ancient Builders.

In Lahore there Is or was massive
building made only of bricks and NOR
tar, but the builders, who erected it in
about 800 b. c., understood their busl-
ness so well that the fabric detied the
engineering efforts Of four successive
governments to remove 1t. India, too,
can show plastered buildings white and
shiny like marble and as smooth and
polished as glass.

A Household San dbag.

A sandbag Is very useful thing to
have in the house. Dry the sand thor
oughly in the oven and then make n
flannel bag about eight inches square.
Fill it with the sand, sew up the open
ing carefully and cover the bag with
cotton or linen. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out and will allow of
the bag being quickly heated when re-
quired by placing 1t in the oven. Sand
holds heat long time and is softer to
the feet of an invalid than the ordinary
hot water bottle.

There are two curious things about
cats that are not generally known
Yellow hairs, however few In number,
always indicate the female. No male
ever had the slightest tint Of yellow.
That is one curiosity, and the other
Is that blue eyed cat is always deaf.
To be sure, blue eyed cats are scarce,
and 1t is possible that some deaf cats
may not be blue eyed; but wherever
you find a blue eyed cat that feline
is absolutely incapable Of hearing thun-
der.

A Giant Tree.

Near Dakar, in lower Senegal, Is an
enormous baobab tree whose trunk
measures fully seventy-f1ve feet In cir
conference at the base. The fruit Of
the baobab, which grows abundantly
in Senegal, is called monkey bread"
It is used by the natives for curdling
milk and as a specific for certain dis
eases. Decoctions of the dried leaves
are also used as medicine. From the
bark strong cords are made, and the
gum that exudes from it is employed
as a salve. The root Of the young bao-
bab is sometimes eaten by the natives.
