Theme Is known to most people as
the active principle Of tea or that sub
stance which confers upon the cup Its
cheering and stimulating properties.
Caffeine Is the analogous principle of
coffee, although this latter substance
also occurs In tea. Some lnvestiga-

Apropos OF Tennyson's life ut Fresh
water Mr.. r. s. Escott tells this story,
says London journal: 1.-THE only
stranger l can remember to have seen
there was n young American author,
already of distinguished performance
and Of even more brilliant promise,
who had brought with him letter Of
commentator from Longfellow He
was painfully shy and absentminded
at the dinner table, nearly forgetting
to eat and quite, think, forgetting to
drink. In the latter respect he resem-
bled his host. who on that day, while
the dishes were ON the table, touched
only one Of them.
with the dessert small bottle OF
the laureate's favorite port, unfortlfled
such, he said, as VIII Waterproof
once could get at the Cock In Fleet
street-made Its appearance. II was
only slipped by the poet after intervals
between conversation with his trans
atlantic guest or Of reveries with him
self. At last. however, the decanter
was drained. The poet, as If surprised
to find 1t empty. with touch Of plain
tlveness In his melodious monotone,
said reflectlvely to the visitor, who had
not touched the wine, DO you always
drink n bottle Of port after dlnnerY"

Mr. Churton Collins, In discussing
popular quotations, exclaIms: How
few, for example, who quote the well
known sentiment, 'Salus populi SUI
prema lex'-'rhe health of the people
Is the highest law'-know that they
are quoting the Roman law Of the
twelve tables. or when they talk OF
leaving no stone unturned' that they
are quoting the reply Of the Delphic
oracle to Polycratcs. or when they
talk OF calling spade n spade they
are quoting an anonymous Greek
comic poet. Thus. too, There's many
a slip 'twIxt the cup and the lip IL a
literal translation OF M hexameter In
an anonymous Greek poet. SO Is The

grind SMALL"

The gantlope. or gauntlet, was mill
tary and naval punishment for theft.
A man had to run the gantlet of a
long file OF his fellow soldiers. each
provided with switch, and to prevent
the sinner going too rapidly and to SEQ
that no man, impelled by motives OF
frlendliness or kindness, failed to strike
hard, a sergeant walked backward, fac
ing the said sinner, with a halberd
pointed at the latter's breast.
After a lengthy experiment this was
found to be inconvenlent and degrad-
ing, 30 recourse was had to another
method, variety Of the same species
Of torture. The offender was tied to
four halberds. three In triangle and
fourth across. The regiment or COM
pany then filed off, the cat o'-nine-talis
was placed In the hands Of the first
man. who gave the culprit lash and
passed on, handing the cat to the sec
ond, who also gave lash, and so the
game went merrlly on until the offense
had been explated.-London Graphic.

The Las, GIod,.tor,.l Comn.t.

GladlatOrinl games were prohibited
by an edict of the Emperor COnstan-
tine In A. ID. 325 but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-
probation of the people, the edlct was
allowed to fall into dsuse, and lts pen
alties were never visited on Its vlO-
lators. During the reign of Honorlus
the defeat of the Cloths In Italy was
celebrated by games, but In the midst
of the fights In the amphltheater of
Vespasian a monk named Telemachus
found his way into the arena and part
ed the combatants with n large pro-
cessional cross.
The populace swarmed over the bar
ricades and tore the monk to pieces,
but the moral effect OF the heroic net
was permanent, and In A. ID. 40i an
imperial edict abolished glndlatorlnl
sports IN the Coliseum and shortly aft
er throughout the Roman empire. The
fight stopped by Telemachus was the
last In the Coliseum, and that structure
Is now consecrated to the honor of
Telemachus and the Christian martyrs
who persisted In the prosecutions by
Nero and other emperors.

Mrs. Gallagher didn't know what to

THE OLD MAN HANDICAP.
British Employers Say They Must
Get Rid of Aged Employees.

British Employers Say They Must
Get Rid OF Aged Employees.
The question Of how to deal with
old men is agitating British employers.
The feeling is growing that the COM
mercial success of the United States
is due to its confidence in young men
and to it's WILLINGNESS to promote them
to responsible positions.
Seymour Bell, the British commercial
agent in Chicago, ethe other afternoon
ATTENDED, T. meeting !: OF the ssLondori
chamber of commerce for the purpose
of advising it's members how to in
crease English trade in America. One
Of the first questions was asked by H.
L. Symonds, managing director of
Mordani & Co., the largest manufac-
turers Of novelties in Great Britain,
who wished to know what the United
States does with its old men.
'This is the most crucial question
fronting our manufacturers" he said.
Everywhere we are loaded with en-
ployes from fifty to sixty years Of age,
who retard progress at every step. In
my opinion, 1t would be cheaper to re-
tire them on half pay and substitute
youthful energies and IDEAS"
Mr. Symonds declared that Americans
in similar cases did not employ men
over forty-five years of age and shat
such men were frequently compelled to
take mental positions. He said that
he knew of an instance where man
who had been receiving $4,000 year
was now glad to work for SIS a. week.
Charles S. Drummond, director of the
British Electric Traction company,
said: Il am convinced that ENGLAND
is on the brink Of commercial revolu-
ton. Young men, long repressed and
discouraged, are revolving. Inspired by
the many examples of success among
the youth Of America and the colonies
they demand that they be given the
same opportunities at home.
They attribute England's apparent
inability to cope with the Yankees to
the fossilized methods Of their elders.
The older men will be surely forced to
the wall unless they speedily awake to
the necessity of proceeding on modern
lines
Mr. Drummond went on to state that
the only way England could meet AM
erica on equal terms was the prompt
Introduction of labor saving machinery
and the specialization Of work oy IN
dividual factories. A member of the
chamber pointed out that such reform
would meet with an initial difficulty
in the opposition of trades unions to
the introduction of labor saving devices.
He foresaw trouble ahead for employ
ers and workmen.-London Special in
