THE ISLE OF MAN.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
The news that Mr.. Hall Caine has
been elected "key" by an over
wheIming majority brings to min the
curious anamoly existing in the Isle o.
Man. This little island, which meas
urcs only thirty-three miles by twelve,
is a remarkable survival of feuial
days in the very center of the British
Isles. Situated in the middle of the
Irish channel, nearly equidistant
from England, Ireland and Scotland,
the Isle of man has separate exist
ence and is itself little kingdom
whose ruler is the ruler of Great
Britain When the ordinary English
man is asked what this isle is famous
for he will invariably answer its
cats, which have no tails, and this un-
fortunate circumstance has caused the
little island to be regarded in a
humorous light which it's history and
it's traditions i'll deserve.
The isle in the first period of history
was the stronghold of the Druids,
and when the BritOns We're driven
into the west of England it formed
part of the Welsh kingdom. Early
in the tenth century it was seized by
the Vikings, and in 1866 passed by
sale from Norway to Scotland for the
sum of 5000 marks. In 1888 it was
seized by the English, and Earl Sails
bury was granted complete royal
rights over his tiny domain. Soon at
ter it was sold to Sir William de
Scrope, whose deed of purchase
states that he bought of William
Montacuteu, Earl of Salisbury, the
Isle of man, with the title of king ant
the right of being crowned with ;
crown of gold. This owner, like
many mobiles of his time, soon after
came to the scaffold, and then the
island passed successfully to thu
Earl of Northumberland and Sir JOhl
de Stanley, the latter of whom passet
it down to a long line of desce al All
For exactly 800 years the history 0
the Stanleys was bound up with thu
Isle of man, till it passed to tn
Duke of Athol. In 1865 the British
parliament obtained proprietary right
and in 1925 obtained complete pos
session for the sum of G416,0OO.
large sum when we consider tn
small territory purchased.
The government of the island was
up till 1866, more or less of an oil
garchy. There are three estates, tn
governor, the council and the hous
of keys or parliament, which togethe
constitute what is known as the Coul
OF Tynwald.
The council consists of the Bisho

ty-four keys, and up to 1866 they held
office by Il unique method of filling up
vacancies by the self election of 9th
ers. In 1866, when the second reform
agitation was sweeping through Great
Britain, this was changed Hitherto
on the death of key two nominal
tions were made, of whom the gov
ernor selected one, for the filing of
the vacant post. Henceforward the
house of keys consented to become
representative. and they are now
elected for the period of seven years.

AS nation, we are suspicious Of
udice against it as a thing of doubt
full morality but we take little ac-
count of it in the affairs of everyday
life. No wonder, and-for the past
small blame to us for so doing. With
continent waiting for inha bitants;
with forests to fell and roads y
build; with settlers cabin giving
place within a generation to met
ropolis, connected by network of
railroads and hundreds of miles of
electric wires with other cities as
young and as flourishing. our hands
have been full with the work of prep
aratiOn.
Now, however. with another cen
fury close upon us. we may fairly ask
if it is not time to build on our es-
tablished foundation with some re-
gard for beauty, and to do so. we
must take art into account.
If we mean to be practical in this,
as in any other business, we must
give up the idea that art is a play
thing or at best a pretty accomplish
ment 1t has never been either to
primitive and barbarous races, whose
unconscious good taste shames our
lack of artistic perception. 1t has
answered some real need in their
nature, it can answer like need in
ours. 1t is not that art is a trivial
thing, but because it is deep thing,
that we do not readily grasp it's pos
sibilities. ..
Art has suffered in the estimation
of serious people from the cant of
those who would make art or beauty
the supreme good for man. Real as
art is, and excellent as it is, an at
tempt to make religion of beauty
ends III moral failure and disaster.
a great and fair world, created by
Divine benefcence for men to dwell
in and to find good, not common nor
unclean certainly not to take
the place Of the world of the spirit,
which rightly claims authority and
homage in the hearts of men.
Yet, in its proper place, what min
istry TO the weary sense is more
grateful than that of art? Mere de-
light may not be its end but it is an
attendant. and when we bring art in
to our daily lives we lessen the jar
and friction of outward circum-
stances; we make our lives worthier
temples for the highest altar of all.

A FESTIVE KEY
Has Been Making Things Lively in Squire
MCDermOtt'S Court.

Fl. Campbell and Jno. w. Davis
leased new building on Church street
belonging to Molie Williams. but
when they came to take possession,
Molly demanded they indemnify her
against damage to the building in the
sum of $1,000. They refused to comply
with her request and she refused them
admission to the property.
Thursday Davis brought an action
of reDlevin before Squire McDermott
for the possession of one key Con-
stable H. c. Posey reolevined the ar
ticle 2nd ]. P. Ward and S. G.. Will
helm we're called upon to determine its
value; which after due deliberation
and with all formality they found to be
fifteen cents.
Mr.. Davis then gave his bond to the
defendant in the sum of $50 and trium-
phantly retired with the coveted key
in his possession.
The defendants counsel then ap-
peared and filed "a motion asking that
the affidavit be quashed and the action
be dismissed for the reason that the
| affidavit was insufficient and that the
court had no Jurisdiction in the case.
However, before the motion was ar
gued the defendant filed redelivery
bond in the sum of $50, and the court
| ordered the key taken from the plain
tiff and given to the defendant. In the
absence of Constable. Policeman Put
nam was engaged to secure and deliver
| the key to the defendant.
Attorneys Guyton and Richards
counsel for plaintiff and defendant re
spectfully, argued the motion yesIter'
day before Squire McDermott. which
resulted in the Court overruling the
motion but allowing an amendment to
the bill Of particulars of the former
which ruling the defendants counsel
accepted.
In this status the case now stands.
| A final hearing will be had at 8 a. m.

A New Play by VIM. Devere.

VIM. Devere, who played the part OF
the editor of the Tombstone Inscrip-
tion in Hoyt's "a Black Sheep" which
was presented here Friday evening
will bring out an entirely new play
next season. The piece is "a three act
farce comedy entitled, "a Comm IN
Sinner" and comes from the pen OF
Mr.. Devere himself. The principal
character is Col. Culpepper, a drum
mer for the pure juice Of Kentucky
warranted to cure all ills that flesh is
heir to. The play deals with a char
acter who has been little portrayed
either in fiction or the drama. the Am
erican drummer
Mr.. Devere created a favorable I'M

Of the star part of the Black Sheep and
it can b readily imagined that his
genial personality will adapt itselt
with ease to the enactment OF such

LITTLE LITERARY MATTERS.

Philip James Bailey, the author of 'tFestus," published in 1889, is still alive and recently attained his eighty fifth year. Among the books that no- body has read ''Festus" is perhaps the most famous.
 Algernon Charles Swinburne, the poet, celebrated his sixty-fourth birth day in London recently. During the day he received over 800 letters and telegrams of congratulations from all parts of the world.
 The kaiser is stated to have just put the finishing touches to treatise on the capture of the Taku forts by the powers. He is also credited with having compiled studies in various periods in the history of Germany, Austria and France.
 Thackeray, anxious to enter parlia- ment, stood for :Oxford,s thinking he might win the seat from Lord Monck, who then represented it. Meeting his opponent in the street one day, he shook hands with him, had .a little talk over the situation, and took leave of him with the quotation: May the best man win." 'I hope not, ;" said Lord Monck, very cordially, with kind lit tie bow.
 What author of to-day would sac rifice g. 5000 to preserve what he con- siders the artistic unity of his book? Yet George Murray Smith offered George Eliot s10,O00 for "Romola," with the privilege of breaking it into 16 installments. She decided that method would spoil the story artistic ally, and insisted upon 12 insta1lments, accepting s7,000. She thus sacrificed about $10,000 to scruple.

 In cities like Berlin, Vienna, Munich, etc., which have a pure water supply, the annual typhoid death: rate is only eight per 100000. In New York it has averaged 20.66 for ten years; while in Albany, Buffalo, Elmira, etc., the average rate has been 53.71 per 10o,. 900.
 An ethnological expedition, organ ized by Prof. Baldwin Spencer, of Mel. bourne university, and MT. F. J. Gill lies, South Australian scientist, has just left Adelaide, the metropolis of South Australia, with the view of spending several months among the various tribes of aborigines inhabit- ing central Australia.
 Most curious are the sewing or tai Tor birds of India-little yellow things not much larger than ones thumb. To escape falling a prey to snakes and monkeys the tailor bird picks up a dead leaf and flies up into tree, and with fiber for a thread and it's bill for d needle sews the leaf onto green one hanging from the tree; the sides, are sewed up, an opening being left at the top. That nest is swinging in the tree no snake or monkey or even a man would suspect.
