people on the sidewalk. When the
shells strike you turn your eyes away
ana look as unconscious as possible.
Now the town marshal emerges from
the crowd on the other side of the
street, dragging by the collar a young
man who is denounced as zone of them
city thugs" He starts down the cen
ter OF the street with his prisoner, FOB
lowed by a street full Of excited men
and boys. to whom an arrest is as ex-
citing as a declaration Of war. 1t is
the marshars day to shine, He gets
to within a block of the lookup, under
the engine-hOuse, when a farmers
team, frightened half to death by the
unusual noise and by the swift ap;
proach of the crowd, breaks away
from the hitchng post at the curb,
stand up on their hind legs, and start
to paw holes in the atmosphere. With
out stopping to thinks the marshal
drops his hold on his prisoner and
grabs the horses. The pickpocket slips
away to safety, but the horses are
stopped from running away.
A dozen times there are false alarms
that the parade has started. Each
time the crowd along Main street
surges into the street, and up the
street come the huge gilded cages full
of cooking utensils and baggage, with
tightly closed sides and big signs
warning the crowds to Beware, Dan
gerous." Up comes the den of lions,

A GIRLS QUEER PIN CUSHION

"You know how careless | am about

late in starting for the matinee. When
| reached my seat the curtain had
been up for 5 or 10 minutes, and you
know how exasperating that Is. Things
had been going on just long enough
for the actors to get well into the first

Expensive Coronations.

1t may be of interest to point out at
this time that the most expensive cor.
onatiOn on record was that of the pres.
ent Gar of Russia. Upward of $15,.
100000 was spent by the government
alone, and fully another $5000,000 by
the public authorities of various Rus
sian towns. The Representatives OF
other powers view with each other in
lavish outlays, and, counting the sums
spent by other persons, the coronation
of Nicholas ii. cannot have cost much
less than S250OO,OO0.
The coronation of Gear Nicholas /
was also a very expensive affair. The
then Duke of DevOnshire was the Brit
ish representative and he spent fully
$150000 of his own money in connec
tion with 1t. The coronation Of George
~. was the most expensive in British
annals, and this cost only S1,250. 600
OF this amount S125.0OO was expended
on the coronation robe and $225. 900 on
the crown.
The cost of the coronation of George
Ill. did not amount to half that Of the
coronation Of George ". The whole
cost Of the coronation Of William "
amounted to only S15O,0O0, and that oi
Queen Victoria to $35O.OOO.

It is said that more people live to be
more than 100 in warm climates than
In the higher latitudes. Here are some
figures recently published: The Ger

with 40,OO0,0O0, has 213. England has
only. l4G and Scotland 46. Sweden has
10. Norway %, Belgium 8, Denmark 2
Spain 401 and Switzerland none. Ser
via, with a population of 2,250000, has
575 people over 100 years old. 1t is

machine was wrecked during preliml-

based the statement mainly on the Inn
proyement in motors and in structural
materials since his experiments were
made. He thought the petroleum mo-
tor would now yield the best results,
and at present engineers have at their
disposal aluminium alloys that are as
strong as wrought iron and nearly as
light as pure aluminium. He believes
that a machine on a large scale can be
made to develop lifting power greater

Americans Arc Great READERS,

1.-The habit of reading is becoming
national in this country" writes Ham.
ilton w. Mabie, in his Literary Talk in
the Ladies' Home Journal. There is
a great and increasing number OF
Americans who read habitually for In.
formation, for instruction and for
pleasure. And, with few exceptions
this multitude of readers selects good
books; books which have some striking
quality of thought or style OF dramatic
interest. Books which were widely
read twenty years ago would receive
small attention to-day. The readers
who can appreciate The Choir Invisi
ble.' Hugh Wynne,' The Cavalier and
The Ruling Passion would find Meth
er profit nor amusement in many ol
the stories which were popular twenty
years ago. With few exceptions the
novels which have reached a sale OF
two or three hundred thousand have
been wholesome In tone and many Of
them have been excellent In form"
