" well preserved specimens of early
British architecture, but its chief
claim to distinction lies in the fact
that it is probably the only church
where a highwayman has been hon
ored with a monument.
Lord John Chandos gained his bar
ony and the grant of Sudley castle
by his strenuous support of Queen
Mary's claims to the throne. After
wards. when that ill-advised queen
was hailing her subjects to Jail and
TO death as heretics, Lord Chandos,
though opposed to the executions,
had to act as the queens instrument.
His son, Henry Bridges, conniyed at
the escape of a family marked for
punishment, and, being recognized,
he and his servants were forced tc
lead the life of outlaws.
At his death his admirers put up
the monument to him in Ayening

RUINED BY HOBBIES.
Every Kind Of Craze Counts Its
Victims by the Score.
Rlch Men Who Can Trace Their FL
nancial Downfall 10 Golf, Horses,
Dogs and Antiquities Are
quite Numerous.

How many men have been ruined
by hobbies? That is o question that
cannot be accurately ans wered. vet
the number is known to be large.
All hobbies, from stamp-collecting
and amateur photography to deer
stalking. have had their victims. Ken.
meth Price, the well-Bnown Scottish
golf player, who died about six
months ago, owed his downfall en-
tirely to golf. He was the son of
Gordon Price, a wealthy Scottish
ironmasteT, who left him his business
and a big fortune. Kenneth started
playing golf as boy, and for 25 years
he lived solely for the game, playing
1t, literally, day and night: for he
had his well-knOwn links at Alderley
lighted by electric lights at cost
of $4,000, so that night should not
stop him when he wanted to play.
At St. Andrews and all the great
golfng centers he spent thousands,
living at the most expensive hotels
and spending his time on the links
He did the thing well, certainly, for
he held five amateur championships
and paid his private caddie 81 500 a
year. He devoted Gully ten days a
year to business, the remaining 355
to golf, and the reason of his bank
ruptcy was easily attributable to
golf
1t was yachting that brought about
the downfall of Elliot Reid. the own.
er of the famous English racing boat,
Myrteia. He owned, altogether, SO
boats in the course of his career, and
he said that for ten years he had
never been out of sight of one of his
beloved craft. His love of yachting
amounted 10 mOnomania, and
though he had an income of $4,000 a !
year, it could not keep pace with his |
expenditures on yachts. When he was
brought into the bankruptcy court !
his yachting expenses were given
truly enough-as the reason of his |

private IN the imperial yoemanry.
No man ever loved horses better than
he did, and horses were his undoing.
Net by gambling on them did he
come to grief, for he never made a
solitary bet in his life; but just by
buying them. He spent three sep
arate fortunes, each amounting to
over $4,000, in breeding and training
horses. He raced to a moderate eX-
tent, never gambling, and was fairly
successful; but for all that his love
for horses proved too much for his
fortune.
Pictures and old china were the
cause of the ruin of another man,
Crawford LennoX. whose splendid col
lection came under the hammer re-
Gently in London. He was one of the
chief cOnuoisseurs of Europe in his
chosen line. lie would live on bread
and water rather than foregO the
purchase of some coveted vase or
picture; but his expenditures in this
line were so great that he squandered
not only his income. but his capital,
and finally became bankrupt, and died
in extreme poverty, the attending
physician certifying that he was prac-
tically starved 10 death.
Arthur Grifiths, the famous dog
fancier, "went TO the dogs" through
his pets. He never had less than a
couple of hundred dogs al a time, and
never sold any, though he would some
times give them away to his friends.
He never had a dog worth less than
S., and would frequently pay $500 for
one His collie, Nassie, cost him
$1,000. His kennels were marvels of
luxury and costliness, and his weekly
bill for dog food alone was enor-
nous. He bought, on an average, a
couple of dogs a week, and would
sometimes make presents of entire
patches to his friends. Finally he be-
came insolvent, and when his assets
were figured up it. was found that he
had paid $4,000 for the dogs he then
had on hand, to say nothing of the
hundreds he had parted with. But
when the kennels were sold they did
not fetch $4,000.

divided into two broad classes-name-
ly, the spies and the sPied upon.
Very opposite traits in this strange
character are Abdul Hamid's extreme
credulity and his overwhelming suspi-
cion and distrust. In proof Of the for
mer it is told that all his drinking wa
ter must be brought from Kiathane,
because years ago the Bohemian Aafital
prophesied he should reign on cOndi-
tion that he drank no other. On a sec
ond occasion he met a wandering gyp-
sy in his park at Kiathane, and asked
her to tell him his fortune. Oddly
enough she predicted his accession to
the throne, as well as a long reign,
wars, etc, concluding with the ominous
words: your death will be caused by
an illness coming from outside"
Like all despots, the padishah has
horror of death, and, consequently,
breads illness, especially anything of
a contagious nature. Cholera and the
plague have found him determined
enemy, and if ConstantinOple of to-day
boasts a perfect system of sanitation
and advanced colleges for the study of
| bacteriology, it owes them TO the gyp-
| sy's warning. His majesty himself is
no mean chemist, having devoted a
| good deal of time to the study of med
| icine, for, like the wise and far-seeing
monarch he is, he fully realizes the
J benefit of being able personally to
: analyze such drinks as may appear sus-
/ picious. Moreover, he doctors his own
| ailments, and has done so since the
| physician who formerly enjoyed his
| confidence became old and fell into dis
grace.
At the first alarming rumOr or en-
barrassing political crisis all his usual
, habits and occupations are swept
! away before the threatened storm and
he remains for long periods plunged in
thought, his active mind preparing
plans against an enemy or busily en-
gagged conjuring up visions Of imagin-
arv danger. He has been known to
remain As hours without either food or
| sleep when suffering from one of these
fits. Such long watches, together with
the tremendous mental and physical
strain endured, bring on nervous at.
tacks of great violence, which render
the monarch perfectly ferocious, sc
that while the paroxysm lasts no one
dare approach him. 1t is, therefore
not surprising that, in spite Of the care
he takes of his health and the precau
tions with which he surrounds himself

LITTLE NUGGETS OF POETRY.
The old Cellar

A treasure cave 1t seemed to be,
Full Of delicious mystery.
Across the windows narrow pares
The spiders swung their silver chains!
Upon the swinging shelves o'erhead
Were jars Of jams and jelIies spread,
Which, when uuseaIed on festaI days,
Outsh0ne the ruby's richest rays.
In one far corner dreamy dusk
Ripe apples stored their balm and musk.
Huge pumpkins from the next one rolled,
Like giant beads OF richest gold.
Ranged upon shelves around the wall
Were tirkns short and firkius tall
Where, youthful palates 90 eutice,
Green pickles swan iu seas Of spice.
Among them, bulging boldly out
Was the brown oak cask filled with
''kraut."
PerchaEce that cellar, rough and dark,
Is type OF many a man OF mark
Whose mind, unpolshed, yet has stored
Rich viands for life's festal board
