A Veritablc Nemesis.

A melcdramatic story of Nemesis
quite Oriental in color, comes from
Knin, in Dalmatia. A substantial
cattle dealer, having sold couple Of
beasts for 500 crowns, stealthily gave
the money into his daughters keep
ing for safety. On the way home two
men who knew Of the transaction way.
laid the pair and murdered the father,
letting the girl escape. Fleeing in
terror she at last took refuge in a
solitary cottage, where she told her
story to the women, letting out also
the secret Of the money. The hut
turned out to be that Of the murlerers,
who on returning chagrined ut the
barren result Of their crime, were sur
prised to learn that the prize still lay
unsuspicio1sly within their grasp. The
girl was invited to rest for the night,
sleeping with another girl Of about
ber own age, the murderers intend
ing to strangle her as she slept. AS
it happened, the two girls changed
places during the night, and the men.

The Cat Goddess.

In old Egypt there was burial
place for sacred cats as well as for
sacred bulls. A cemetery of cats ex-
listed near Bubastis. A few years ago
Monsieur Naville found buried in the
mound the ruined temple of Bast or
Pasht, the cat goddess, who gave her
pamc to the city.
The foundation Of Bubastis carries
US back to the period of the building
Of the great Egyptian pyramids Tnc
Bubastis Of the EgyptianS IS the same
as tho Artelnis "s tnc Greeks, who is
onnn~oI,v su,d to be the same as the
Diana Of the Romans, goddess OF
light, representing the moon. So Bast,
CT Pasht was connected with the cat
on the one hand and the moon on the
other. Accordingly it is quite possible
that puss, when she figures as SYM
Dol in the Egyptian worship, repro
sents something in astronomy and in
the calendar.
Ovid calls the cat the sister Of the
moon, and says that Pasht took the
form of q cat to avoid Typhon. Ac-
cording to Plutarch, cat placed in 4
lustrum denoted the moon. 1t is stated
by SOHO writer's that the "cat' was
an interclary month, added in the one
hundred and twentieth year to rectify
the calendar.

New York's Big Reservoir.

Che area Of the Jerome Park Reser-
voir is over 800 acres, and the cost CT
the land was about 100000. There
will be about 100000 cubic yards
Of earth and rock removed, and the
5O,OCO,000 square feet Of surface in
side, the reservoir walls will be laid
with from three to six inches Of con-
crete.
The contractors had to purchase 20O
acres of land on Long Island Sound
where they could deposit the exca-
waited earth and rock, and five miles of
railway had to be built in order to
carry it there. When the reservoir is
finished the retaining walls will not
be conspicuous from the outside,
although in places they will be more
than thirty-siX feet deep on their
inner slopes. In some few places the
walls will stand from eight to ten feet
above the surrounding country.-New
York Times.

ham married his half sister, and no
doubt that is why no children were
born to them except one by grace in
their old age.
But it is said that the Roman laws
and the laws of England permit such
marriages. Yes. the Roman law did
until Pope Alexander II stopped it and
prohibited first second and third cous-
ins from intermarrying. The laws Of
England permitted such marriages be-
cause the kings and the nobility want
ed to keep the crown and the titles
and their estates In their families.
And so our American people, who have
patterned after English law and pre-
cedent for more tnan hundred years,
have been reluctant to make any
change in this regard.
But the question is now coming to
the front, and the time Is coming for
a change. 1t seems now to be an es-
tablished and universal rule that
these marriages entail upon the off,
spring evil consequences. bodily or
mentally, or both. The evil effect Of
what Is called breeding in" among
animals leads to the conclusion that
it Is an universal law. Good stock,
blooded stock, Is not perpetuated IN
that way. Heard conceited man de-

Tho Crusade In Kentucky.

The women of Kentucky ere cvilc-
ing much interest in the good roads
movement. Fully one-half of the 2OOC
persons present at convention at
Hopkinsville to advocate road in
provenent the other day were women.
And the fact that great many farm
ers, too, were there il spite of this
being their most busy season was very
encouraging to the projectors of the
assemblage. Fifteen counties were
represented by storekeepers, nanufac-
turers, professional and public nen,
as we'll as the agriculturists. Gov
ernor Beckhan spoke, and said he
thought much more of good roads
than he did of building political
fences, and that be is moro interested
in building up Kentucky industria!ly
than he is il the making of any politi-
cal slate.

LIVE.WlRE FISHING.
Every Fish That Gets Within Ten Feet OF
the Net is Caught.

1t is ''positivcly shocking" the way
they are catching fish at the plant OF
the st. Anthony Falls Water Power
Company. This, too, in face of large
sign on which Is inscribed in plain let
ters:: NO Fishing Allowed; Keep on"
But. then, only the immediate attaches
of the power house are privileged.

They started out early in the season.
which did not open until Wednesday,
to fish in the legitimate way. but fail
ing to get any fish to speak Of by hook,
they determined to catch them. If pos
sihle, by crook-to clectrocutc them.
Since then fish have responded with
such wonderful alacrity to the novel
bait that q few minutes sport will
give the new fisherman "a nice mess"
The sight would bring tears to the
eyes Of Ike Walton, who believed "art
for arts sake" who accounted it n
more creditablc performance to catch
one fish an hour by patient. painstak-
ing. philosophic endeavor, than to
slaughter the finny tribe on the whole
sale plan in short order.
At the power house they take good
live wire. properly insulated. where
the angler holds it, and stick the same
into the water. Water is q good con-
ductor. as everybody knows. and

scoops up the unfortunate fish with a
net!
Perch. sinners, bullheads, crappies
and an occasional sturgeon are caught
in this way. One Of the electricians
who was directing the mighty ma
chinery which generates 10000 horse
power, said that he had caught
sturgeon early in the spring which
weighed twenty pounds. He said that
an ordinary current of electricity was
strong enough to bring the most OBJ
streperous fish to the surface in most
cases. He had to hand the sturgeon
considerably more than the average
before he could make him "lie still and
be quiet" ,,a~'

electrical connections is used. 1t is
hung over the side Of the wall into the
river, and does the work as efTectu-

Boer Workmanship has convinced the
British war authorities that swords,
lances and bayonets are of little use as
weapons of modern warfare, and that
soldier who can't shoot straight is en-
tirely useless except as target for the
bullets OF an enemy whose soldiers can
shoot better. Hereafter the British SOL
diers will be drilled in long distance
Workmanship as the most essential item
of their military training. Sword, lance
and bayonet exercises have been abol-
ishcd, and the soldier who can shoot will
be the soldier of the future. 1t has taken
a long while. and cost a heap of money,
to get this sensible idea through the
British Uranium: but the idea is evidently
there to stay at last.

WAYS OF COMPOSERS
Some Prominent Men Have Worked Un-
der All Sorts Of Conditions.

There are few things, said a we'll
known musician, about which there is
so much popular nisconception as the
way in which music is composed. There
are, l believe. thousands of people who
arc firmly convinced that a musical
composition is laboriously built UP with
the help of piano or other instrument,
and few sheets of paper Oh which the
notes are jottcd down as they are found
Nothing could be really wider of the
truth; for the man who cannot compose
without the aid of an instrument has
certainly mistaken his profession. In
fact, if you were to shut musician in
a whitewashed cell and give him pen
Gil, he could write his compositions on
the walls with as much facility as if he
were surrounded by all the musical ia
cilities you can con ccive.
Much of the best work of friend OF
mine has been done in trains or on onl-
nibuScs. the motion of which somehow
seems to furnish the necessary inspira-
tion; and the music, as it comes to him,
is jotted down on the backs of envelopes
or any odd and ends of paper he may
have in his pocket.
Sir Arthur Sullivan used to work TIN
der every possible condition. He could
compose as huently in a crowded room.
taking part in the conversation at in
tervals, os in his own study. Much of
the best and brightest music was written
i,l bed between the paroxysms of pain,
and The Lost Chord' came to him
when he was watching by the bedside of
his brother.
Mr.. Chevalier wrote both the words
and music of My Old Dutch" with the
light of street lamps as he was walking
che wet wintry evening to 1slington.
My own happicst inspiration came to
me at Vauxhall station, when l was
waiting for my daughter to arrive from
Southampton; and l am sure can't
imagine any more uninspiring environ
ment than that.
A friend of mine told me that very
popular composition of his, which is a
great favorite with all music lovers,
came to him while trying to listen to
a dreary sermon, and was jotted down
on the blank leaves of his prayer book.
There is scarcely any condition you
can imagine under which good music has
Eecn written; and l need scarcely tell
you that the composer can judge its et-
feet just as we'll as if he heard it played
by the best orchestra of the world.
What is, perhaps, less ineligible to a
layman is the rapidity with which a
musician can score his compositions for
each instrument of large orchestra,
writing down his notes with almost
lightning rapidity. AS he writes he can
hear the orchestra in full swing, and
knows exactly the part he must assign
to each instrument in producing the
general effect. with all its delicacies Of
light and shade The scoring is the
drudgery of a composers working life,
and to some men it is very irksome,
while others. like the late Sir Arthur
Sullivan, perfectly revel in it. He per-
formed prodigies in it, often working at
it for a dozen hours at stretch, and
producing an amount of work which
would take most men as many days.
