A PLEASING FRENCH TRAIT.

Love Between Brothers q Strongly
Marked Characteristic.
One Of the ways in which the close
union Of French family life shows it.
self is the great affection Of brothers
for each other. There is an intimacy
between them in good and evil fortune
which one does not find in other coun-
tries A brother who takes high po-
sition by his talents loses no opportuni-
ty to forward the interests Of one Of
lesser ability or Of no ability. He never
treats the latter as drag on him, and
perhaps scarcely feels that he is one.
Married brothers often like to live in
the same. house, on different floors, and
to hire summer villas in close prox-
unity.
Most Of the famous Frenchmen
whom I knew had each q brother to
whom he was devoted. Louis and
Charles Blanc, though so dissimilar in
appearance, tastes, disposition, and
married to women who disliked each
other, were, morally speaking, Siamese
twins until death severed the bond.
The same might be said Of the GARNER
Pages, Of Jules Favre and his brother
Leon, Of Ernest and Arthur Picard, Of
Puech, the sculptor, and his brother
the deputy. Paul and Hippolyte Flau-
drin, the painters, were known in their
student days as the Siamese twins. It
not infrequently happens that broth
ers go into literary partnership. In
stances that occur to me are the Con-
courts, the Rosnys, the Marguerittes.
It would be impossible to discern the
work Of one Of any Of these brothers
from that Of another. What is very
curious, each brother, as in the case Of
Charles and Louis Blanc, Ernest and
Arthur Picard, Jules and Leon Favre,
differed strikingly in every Characters
tic from the other. The dissimilarity
Of the Marguerittes is so great that one
wonders how brothers could be so un-
like. Alphonse Daudet was not bit
like his brother Ernest, an accom-
plished novelist also-London News.

THE HOLY CITY.
Jerusalem Still Resembles n Great
Fortress of Middle Ages.

Jerusalem Still Resembles n Great
Fortress of Middle Ages.
Jerusalem is literally "builded upon
its own heap" Below the houses,
courts and paved streets Of the pres
ent unkempt city are the distinguisha-
bic remains Of eight older cities-those
Of Solomon, Nehemiah, Herod, Hadri-
an, Constantine, Omar, Godfrey, Sala-
din, Suleman-writes Walter Williams
from the Holy City to his paper in Co.
lumbia, Mo.
Jerusalem has been besieged twenty
seven times, Q record Of vicissitude un-
paralleled in the history Of the worlds
cites. 1t has been burned, sacked,
razed to the ground, its inhabitants Of
every faith put to the sword, all the
woes uttered by its own prophets
against it have come to pass, yet Jeru-
salem still resembles q great fortress
Of the middle ages. Seen from the
Mount of Olives, its massive gray
walls, it's fat rooted houses, its
mosques and churches with their con-
spicuous towers and minarets, present
q marvellous picture, beautiful, sub
lime, unfading, from the picture gal
Iery Of the mind.
The city itself has narrow, dirty
streets. The water supply for its 7O,-
600 people comes in q four inch pipe.
The open courts are few and SMALL
and the houses are punched together
with no regard for room or cleanliness.
Some houses are underground and 9TH
ers on top Of the high inclosing walls.
The people are fanatical, ignorant,
Selfish. There is much to detract from
the ideal city, but despite all this and
more Jerusalem from the Mount OF
Olives is the same in its essential de-
tails, the same in the framework Of its
setting, the same in fascinating sug-
gestion, as the Jerusalem Of which Da-
vid sang and over which Jesus wept.

Not Even O. Hack.

In the early days Of his journalistic
career Frank R. Stockton was stand
ing with group Of newspaper men,
listening to the eloquence Of one Of
their number, who on the strength Of
some small authority was giving his
views on "higher Journalism" in a
pompous and bombastic manner.
At the close Of a sonorous period he
paused for breath, when Stockton,
speaking for the first time, Tentured
mildly to disagree with the opinion ex-
pressed.
"Who are you to dispute me-" blazed
the great man. "Why, you are only
literary hack?'
"Not even that" responded Stockton
meekly. "I'm only coupe"

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses Of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and we'll set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, a little
prominent, and the eyelids fine ana
thin. The ear should be small and
erect and quick in motion. The lop
ear indicates dullness and stubborn
ness. When too far back, there is a
disposition to mischief.

SensafnrE Transmission.

It has been found that sensation is
not absolutely instantaneous, but that
a very minute time elapses as it travels
along the nerves. Therefore, If a per-
son put his finger to a heated iron or
in the blaze Of candle there is GER
tain almost inconceivably small space
Of time, say the one-thousandth part OF
a second, before the brain knows Of
the burn. Now, suppose man with
an arm long enough to reach the sun.
From the known rate Of sensatory
transmission that man would have to
live more than 100 years after touching
the great Iuminary before he would
know that his fingers had been

a man who was called On to address

children who mocked Elijah on his
Journey to Bethel-boW the youngsters
taunted the poor old prophet and how
they were punished when the two she
bears came out Of the wood and ate

moral effect, "what does this story

MEAT ONCE A DAY.
Theory That Average Fan,i1y's Food

Is Too Heavy For Health.
Our mistakes in eating begin with
our breakfast. In many families, per-
haps in most, this meal commences
with fruit and cereal, goes on to chops
and potatoes, hot breads and coffee and
concludes with griddlecakes and sirup.
At noon, when mans stomach is only
beginning to rest from all this, he has
steak, more potato, bread and but
ter, coffee and pie, while at home his
wife has a slice Of cold meat, cup Of
tea and a piece Of cake. At night the
two sit down to dinner, with roast beef,
potatoes and bread and butter as the
staples Of the meal.
Now, no one but woodchopper or a
hunter can possibly eat meat-above
all. red meat, such as beef and mutton
three times day without inviting
uric acid to come and take up it's dwell
ing in his system. Nor can he eat white
bread, potatoes and pastry day after
day without inviting dyspepsia. One

these diseases to their source to be
quite certain on these points.
But if we decide to give up these
things, determine to have meat and po-
tatoes only once day and red meat
only once a week; if we taboo pastry,
the starchy vegetables, the white bread
and heavy sweets, what have we left
for the family meals? Nothing" the
distracted housewife will eXclaim de-
spairingly at first thought, but really
the matter is not as difficult as it
seems.
In planning the meals on this basis
there is, first Of all, chicken, which is
invaluable, for it may be cooked in a
dozen different ways and seem new
dish each time, and turkey, duck and
goose as well. Then there are the
white meats, lamb and veal; fish in its
multitudinous forms; there are game in
its season, vegetables and fruits, with
numberless varieties Of soups, and the
simple sweets, which are made prin-
cipally from milk and cream, and all
forms Of breads.-Harper's Bazaar.

HE GOT THE GOODS.
Business Deal Between Potte,
Palmer and A. T. Stewart.

business Deal Between Potter
Palmer and A. T. Stewart.
cat the time Of the civil war;" said
an old merchant, Potter Palmer was
in the dry goods business in Chicago,
and Levi z. Letter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn't
so we'll known, but he had good rep
utation in the trade, and he didn't have
to introduce himself when he called on
old a. T. Stewart to buy some goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about 100000 worth.
It was little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cared to sell young Palmer on
credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next
morning and arrange some final de-
tails That night some big war news
came, and it didn't require any decla-
ration by the government to inform ey-
cry dry goods man in the country that
the price Of goods would take a big
squirt up. Stewart recognized it as soon
as he had the news, and he Immediate
" thought Of Palmer. He also thought
Of the big bill Of goods Palmer had
bought Of him. It didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't.
But it required only few scratches
Of his red head to fix things to his sat
isfaction. He would simply tell Pal
mer that he was sorry, but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such
big bill on credit, and as he knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash imme-
diately, why, that would end it, and
the sale would be of. Well, young
Palmer called early, and Stewart
greeted him in his very abruptest man
ner, telling him how sorry he was, etc.,
but really he didn't think it wise bust
ness to extend credit for such an
amount.
"tJust how much does the bill come
to? said young Palmer, seemingly sor-
rowful-like.
"tJust $11o,oOo,' Stewart replied, and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbook from bis inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out ITO thou
sand dollar bills and, laying them quiet
y on Stewards desk, said: IF you will
kindly count them and give me re-
ceipt, I'll be obliged, as must take the
next train home. Ship the goods soon
as you can, and when you're out our
way drop in. Always glad to see our
friends New York Times.

Hid Her Love.

Charles Dickens, though he married
Catherine, one Of George aogarths
three daughters, in 1886, was later de-
yotedly attached to her sister Mary.
Why he did not marry Mary in the
first place is not certainly known un-
less it be that Mary, young woman
OF great loyeliness Of character hao
successfully concealed her own afec-
ton for GATHERINGS betrothed in order
to save her sister from disappointment.
Percy Fitzgerald, friend Of Dickens,
expressed this idea in an article ID

All Souls, CoIIere, Oxford.

Perhaps the most expensive educa-

dergraduates Of All Souls college, Ok
ford. There are usually but four Of
them in residence, all Of them on the

them comfortably in their rooms aloft
over the college kitchens. The college
revenues approach $4,000 year, which
should give an excellent education to
four young men. But AL Souls de-

Of fellows and the cult Of good living.

cation by arrangement from other col

How sarages Came to Use KNIVES

How Savages Came to Use KNIVES.
The first men, armed with the SIM
plest weapons or with none at all, pur-
sued in the chase the animals that
served them as food and, being gener-
ally in a state Of starvation, tore them
to pieces with their fingers and de-
voured on the spot the flesh, raw and
bloody. In time they domesticated an
irlals that assisted them in hunting
and invented the bow and spear that
enabled them to Kill their prey at a
greater distance.
The knife was invented as an instru-
nent Of attack or defense or for rough
cutting and carving and, being COM
monty worn on the person, was found
convenient in eating and became in
time an accessory Of the table for rea-
sons so obvious that they require no
explanation.

Russia's Many Holidays.

In addition to the fifty-tTo Sundays
Russia has about thirty-nine holidays
or feast days Of the church. They are
kept as rigidly almost as a London
Sunday. Business ceases except in
hooks and corners, while drunkenness,
the bane of the Russian, cripples work
for twenty-four or forty-eight hours
after each feast. In round numbers
there are thirty days on which the
western world works while the Rus
sian stands idle.-Scribner's Magazine.

The Inventor of the Match.

The first match was the product Of
the ingenuity Of John Frederick kom-
erer, who early in the nineteenth cen
tury was imprisoned in the peniten-
tiary at Hohenasperg, in Germany. He
invented the lucifer match while in his
gloomy dungeon. The German govern
ment forbade the manufacture Of
matches On the ground Of public policy,
because some children playing with
them had caused q fire. komerer was
ruined by Yiennese competition when
he was released from prison and died
a pauper. Up to 1862 the Vienna man
ufacturers controlled the match busi-
ness Of the entire world.
