payment is still in American money.
The dropping of one language en-
ables some economies to be practised by
the new government. A good many
translators become 'cesantes," or ex-of-

no longer necessary. With the excep-

a marked disposition to drop the trans

BRAINS AND BEVERAGES.
Famous Literary Lights Who Rev
eIed In Coffee and Tea.

Famous Literary Lights Who Rev.
eled In CoGee and Tea.
Famous literary men have all had
their favorite beverages.
Tea and coffee, however, head the
list, and these two drinks, which: the
famous William Goblet denounced as
"slops," have been the means of:spurs
ring many a drowsy journalist to re-
newed energy.
Voltaire, the king Of wits and n&era-
teurs, was a confirmed coffee drinker.
In his old age he often took fifty cups
q day, which sadly hurt his digestion
and FASTENED his death. Balzac never
drank anything else but coffee, and
during the early hours Of the morning,
for he began at II o'clock midnight he
used to take copious drafts Of this
stimulating drink.
Sir James Macintosh was so fond Of
coffee that he used to assert that the
powers Of q mans mind would geaer-
ally be found to be proportional to the
quantity of that stimulant which he
drank. Cowper pays tribute to tea in
the sTask" when he says "the cup that
cheers, but not inebriates." He was
very fond Of the Chinese beverage.
But the king Of tea drinkers was Sam
uel johnson. On one occasion Sir JOSH
ua Reynolds reminded the great man
that he had drunk eleven cups Of tea,
whereupon Johnson retorted: "Sir, I
did not count your glasses Of wine.
Why then should you number my cups
Of tea?"

A Costly Finger.

A Dresden paper relates an amusing
anecdote. An old gentleman, men,
Der Of the landtag, lately slightly hurt
his finger. Not troubling to go to his
doctor, he asked a medical colleague
what he ought to do and was told to
give his finger a "soap bath5' On the
following day he was much surprised
to receive from his friend note for
medical consultation the amount, 10
marks"
He then spoke to another colleague,
a lawyer, complaining. His legal
friend said it was strange conduct;
but, should it come to a legal question,
he would be obliged to pay and had
better do so at once. The day after
the old gentleman's establishment was
still greater on receiving from this
friend a note claiming 10 marks for
illegal advice"
Quite angry, he appealed to the COM
mission. body which settles all per-
sonal disputes Of the members Of the
landtag. What was his disgust when
the commission found that he had be-
haved badly IN refusing just demands
and condemned him to make amends
by paying the fine Of q basket Of cham
pagne! The finger, which was mean
time perfectly healed, had cost him
dear.

AN ARTIST OF NERVE.
Remarkable Daring and Goodness In
an Alpine Accident.

Remarkable Daring and Coolnees IN
an Alpine Accident.
The architect Violet lie Due was one
day on the Schwarzcnberg glacier at
q height Of about 5000 feet, accompa-
MED by Baptiste, the guide, who
marched in front. The two men were
attached to each other by rope. as is
usual In Alpine mountaineering.
The guide had passed over a
crerasse, but when NJ. Violet le Due
attempted to cross it he failed and fell
into the abyss. The guide tried to pull
him out, but instead he found himself
gradually descending.
The architect perceived that his CON-
panion, If be persisted in the attempt
to save him, would surely share his
fate, and he asked If Baptiste had a
family.
"a wife and children" was the an
swer.
"Then," said Violet lie Due quietly,
II shall cut the rope"
he did so and fell, but block Of
ice thirty feet lower down stopped his
descent. When Baptiste saw this and
that for q time the danger was lessen
ed, he went in search Of help and re-
turned with four stout peasants. Three
hours afterward Violet le Due was e1-
tricated.
In spite Of his perilous position the
ruling passion was strong with the art
ist, for, although he was almost COW
cred with icicles from the dripping wa
ter, he had contrsved to make drawings
Of the novel effects he was able to
perceive.

Patchwork OF Pictures.

OF all the quaint and varied sights
shown to the passing stranger, says
Navy and Army, perhaps there Is none
more attractive than the officers quar-
ters in the main guard Of the citadel Of
Yaletta. Long ago some officer, find
ing the time hang heavy on bis hands
and having in him besides turn for
sketching, bethought him to draw upon
the bare yellow washed wall Of his I'D
carnished room a picture in colors.
The next officer probably thought he
could do as well or better, and he, too,
left his handiwork upon the walls, and
as years rolled by there grew up O
custom, now firmly established, for e7-
cry regiment serving in Malta and do
ing main guard duty to leave behind a
remembrance Of itself in the shape Of a
sketch on the walls in pencil, chalk or
paint Thus now, instead Of plain, un'
lovely walls, exists this quaint irregu'
lar patchwork Of pictures, we'll known
throughout the services and to those
who use this highway to the east.

BLlNDlNG A SHARK.
How a Pearl Diver Escaped q Voro-
c{ous Man Eater.

HOW q Pe6r1 O1Ter EScapcN = soEN.
cious Man Eater.
A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such
man connected with a large wrecking
company was visiting some years ago
the pearl fisheries in the gulf Of Cali
sornia, where sharks abounded. On
one of his trips in quest Of the pearl
oyster he had a narrow escape from
fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filed his bag he glanced
quickly about and caught sight Of
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
Inan emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was large rock. He moved
quickly to the other side Of it, hoping
to dodge the ferocious monster, but the
maneuver did not work. The shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by a slight motion of his pow
erful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea Of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover Of that be might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the water
thick with mud in less than half min
ute.
Slipping around the rock again, he
rose to the surface, having barely
strength enough to reach the side Of
the boat, and was hauled on board just
as the voracious man eater made q
rush for him.

The wroaE Room.

"While spending O vacation at Beo.
ford Springs, Pa, some years ago."
said a Baltimore lawyer the other day,
'I went late one night to my room, as
I supposed, unlocked the door and was
startled by q woman's screams. I re-
allied at once that I had got into the
wrong room. You may be sure I did
not waste any time getting out into
the corridor, locking the door again
and entering my room, which happen
ed to be the next one.
'While I was doing this the woman
continued screaming, alarming the
whole hotel. A crowd soon gathered,
and when the woman could be per-
suaded to open the door she declared
there was a man in her room. OF
course no intruder was found, and, as
the door was locked when the crowd
gathered, the lady was told that she
must have had a nightmare and imag-
ined she saw q man in her room.
kept quiet, and every one else In the
hotel was convinced that the lady's I'M
agination had worked upon her fears"

Cloths or Clothes.

One learns many strange uses and
misuses of things at country innss but
let US hope that the following e1pe'
rience related by friend Of mine as
having happened to himself is q rare
one: He had gone to bed in an Irish
inn, bidding the landlady to have him
called at s. At 6, however, next morn
ing, she knocked at his door.
"ye've to git up," she said.
"What o'clock is it?"
"Si1, SURF"
AGO away. 1 am not going to get up

At Z she reappeared. 'Indade. and
ye must git up now. It's T." Finding
him unmo7ed at her next return, she
said: "Git up, there's sweet gintle-

men waiting for their breakfast, and l

The Pictures OF Flying Birds In
Mohammedan MosQue.

The Pictures OF Flying Birds In o
Mohammedan Mosone.
According to one Of the teaets of the
Mohammedan religion, it Is q sin to
make picture Of any living thing. The
elaborate decorations Of the palaces
and mosques of the east are almost ex-
clusively made up Of ingeniously inter-
laced geometric designs, arabesques or
flowers, intermixed with sentences OF
the Koran.
There IS q belief among Mussulmans
that at the day Of judgment Allah Will
demand that the artist who has made
the image Of living thing shall endow
that image with life and that, failing to
do this, the artist will be sent to perdi-
ton for his sin.
4 gentleman who visited mosque In
Algiers found that the tiles with which
the building is decorated, which are
very old and beautiful, are adorned
with flights Of birds. he expressed sur
prise at this and asked if the command
against such representation were g
modern edict.
ooh, no." answered the pious Alge'
rian to whom be addressed the Ques'
ton. "These are not pictures Of living
birds.''
"But they are painted as il flying
across the tiles" the other said in soma
establishment.
EYES," the Mussulman replied, "but
dc you not see that about the neck Of
each there is q fine black line? That IS
to show that the artist painted only
dead birds, and the command of the
Koran is not violated"

The Statues OF Paris.

No city in the world has SO many
statues and monuments as Paris, and
every day sees a new project for a new
statue or bust. It is curious to note in
this connection that large proportion
of the famous men honored in this way
came to their end by violence IN some
form or other. Many Of them died on
the scafold, and stroll through the
Paris streets may give the philosopher
food for reflection on the mutability Of
human judgment. Danton and La
7oisier were guillotined, Jeanne d'Arc
and Etenne Delet were burned at the
stake, Henry ". was murdered,
Etienne Marcel was also assassinated,
Marshal Ney was shot, Condorcet COM
mitted suicide to escape the scaRold,
and these are only 1.-THE Of those that
might be mentioned.

When once one no longer thinks it

the saving Of time and tissue is quite
enormous, for it is not so much do

No Place For Kings,

An American battleship once had a
visit from the king Of Italy. The gor.
geous apparel Of the king and his suit,
splendid in gold lace and decorations,
filed the sailors with awe. During the
inspection one Of the magnificent men,
bers of the suit stepped backward and
disappeared. No one missed him, and
there were no witnesses to his misad'
venture save a weather beaten tar, who
leaned against the rail with a grin OF
huge enjoyment on his face. At last he

Popular Weather Notions.

How often do We hear the remark,
awe shall have rain, the atmosphere
is so heavy" The reverse IS true.
When one sees smoke hanging from a
chimney, with tendency to sink to
the ground, it indicates that the at-
mosphere is light-in fact, too light to
float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney, it indicates a
heavy atmosphere. A column Of smoke
is not a bad barometer, for barometer
simply records the pressure Of the at
mosphere. When the atmosphere IS
light and the smoke settles, the pres
sure on the mercury is light, and the
column falls, indicating storm. When
the atmosphere is heavy and the smoke
rises, the pressure is greater and the
column rises, indicating fair weather.
Pleasure seekers and others before
starting out should therefore watch
the smoke.
