Not Piety, but Pork,

The following bit Of nonconformist
humor is taken from "The Earring

ers are Mrs. Bateson and Mrs Han

showing up the ways Of husbands:
"They'ye no sense. men haven't"

ued Mrs. Bateson. "A kinder husband
or better Methodist never drew breath,

A Joke on OTenbarh.

Offenbach. the famous opera bOuf1t
composer, had an unsuitable thirst fol
success and fame combined with q
vanity that occasionally played him a
sorry trick.
Once he was going down the Rhine
on steamer. among whose passengers
was the Duke Of Nassau, II fact OF
which the composer was in blissful ig
norance.
AS the steamer approached its last
stopping place the bank of the river
was seen to be covered by Il dense
throng of people who were shouting
and waving their hats. a band on the
pier was playing a march from one of
Offenbach's operas.
AS the boat touched the pier Often

and said you would call for him In the

A Famous Prison.

The celebrated Mamertine prison fur
nishes an important scene in Sienkie-
wicz's story, "Quo Vadis." 1t is locat-
ed on the slope of the Captoline, in
Rome, and, according to tradition, it
was begun by ANGUS Martius and later
enlarged by Servius Tullius. Jugurtha
is said to have been starved to death
here, the accomplices Of Catiline stran-
gled by command Of Cicero and Seja-
nus, the minister and favorite of Tibe-
RUS, executed. Church tradition has
consecrated this prison as the place
where st. Peter and st. Paul were con-
fined by order Of Nero. Historian Hill
lard says Of it,
1.-THE Mamertine prison Is hideous
vault divided into an upper and lower
portion scooped out Of the solid rock
and lined with massive blocks in the
Etruscan style of architecture. A more
heartbreaking place of confinement 1t
Is not easy to imagine. According to
the traditions of the church, st. Peter
was imprisoned here by order of Nero.
and the pillar to which he was bound
and fountain which sprang up mirac-
ulously to furnish the water of baptism
to his iailers, whom he converted, are
shown to the visitor. There is no rea-
son to doubt that Jugurtha was starry
ed to death in these pitiless vaults.
Here, too, the companions Of Catiline
were strangled. 1t Is curious fact
that the chances Of literature and his
tory should have carved two such
names as those Of Sallust and Cicero
on these Cyclopean walls"
