BOOKS AND AUTHORS

Tom Moore Is to be admitted TO the
English Men Of Letters" SERIES and
his biography is to be written By
Stephen GWyn. q brother Irishman.
Il Is said that In working upon the
biography Of Mr.. Gladstone, which win
soon be published, Mr.. Morley and his
secretaries have examined about 40O.-
600 documents. The narrative, BY. the
way, is 70 include copious extracts from
Mr.. Gladstone's journals.
William Watson, the English poet, has
been having much trouble with hts eyes
Of late. Fears are expressed that his
sight Is on the point Of giving out, in
spite Of the fact that he is only 4S. Wat
sons last published poem was his lode
on the Coronation Of King Edward VII. "
which was admittedly one Of his most
notable productions Of recent years.
A German writer, Miss Anna Wage
mann, has written a book to prove that
King Charles I. was the Man in the Iron
Mask. She argues that he was not really
beheaded-a faithful adherent, who re-
sembled him, having offered himself for
execution in his place-but succeeded in
fleeing to France. II is argued that he
was taken captive in Dunkirk and i'm
prisoned until his death by Louis XIV,
wearing the mask aforesaid.
Kipling throws a good deal Of HIS work
into the waste basket, but it is some time
since any Of II went into such a recep-
tacle owned by some other person. He
feels that, having won a reputation, It
is his duty to write up to II. On one oc-
casion, when in a heroic mood, he de-
stroyed a whole book. The title Of this
unborn book was ''Forty-Five Morn
ings." after it was finished he asked Rob
ert Barr to read It. "As good as Plain
Tales, was Mr.. Bars verdict mot bet
teri" said Kipling. IT don't think it is, {"
answered Barr. ''Then'it will never be
published" was Kipling's unexpected
reply, and 1t was destroyed forthwith.

PROPER AUTOMOBILE TEST.
Trip Made by Two Men from San
Francisco 90 New YORK With
out Accident.

A new transcontinental record for
automobiles has been established by
two men who drove a comparatively
small machine Of American make from
San Francisco to New York, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. They left the former
city on June 90 They arrived here
muddy, tired, but not materially the
worse for their uncommon experience.
They averaged about so miles a day.
They crossed mountains. They trav-
ersed deserts. They trundled over all
kinds Of roads in all sorts and condi-
lions Of weather. And through II all
their machine met with no serious mis-
hap, a fact which will help reduce the
automobile joke OF the funny papers to
its proper level Of inconspicuity. Once
before the continent was crossed by an
automobiles, but he did not make as good
time as did these two people. This most
recent test Of endurance e. worth a
great deal more in the development Of
the motor car than all the homicidal
road races that have ever been arranged
in Europe OF elsewhere. Eighty miles
q day Is not high average, and It could
doubtless be bettered By larger cars and
BY more reckless drivers, but II Is fast
enough TO show what the automobile IL
capable Of in the way Of endurance.

The longest distance a man has ever
thrown a baseball is a little more than
3s1 feet The record for women was
held, until recently. by a Vassar cham
pion, who threw a bail 1s1 feet. There
has now arisen in Tacoma, Wash, q
young woman who beat that record by
"a feet. AnatOmists have frequently ex-
planned that the formation Of a woman's
shoulder-blades prevents her from
throwing straight and far; but the Ia
coma record. 2O5 feet, is just about the
distance from the deep outheld to the

FoRBIDDRF MARRIAGES.
Amended Law In Miehigan sPeeiAsr
Dlstinety what RslatiOnH Are
Prohibited.

Under the amended marriage law q
Michigan the marriage Of cousins Of
the first degree" Is prohibited. and Il
win become the duty Of the county
clerk to ascertain whether such rela-
tionship exists between the candidates
for marriage, reports the Detroit Trib-
une.
The law which Is now amended 70
include first cousins specifics distinct
b. what other relation, in law or con-
sanguinity, are prohibited from we'd
ding With each other, and TO make
positive that no illegal marriage occur
through his fault, the careful county
clerk. before issuing q license, should
inquire:
lis this woman your mother, grand
mother, stepmother, grandfather's
wife, sons wife, grandsCn's wife,
wife's mother, wife's grandmother,
wifes daughter, wife's granddaughter,
or your sister, brothers daughter, sis
ter's daughter, fathers sister, or moth
er's sister, or cousin Of the first de-
greer" Reversing the sexes the same
questions apply to the woman. II is
recalled that Rev. Father Ternes,
OF Detroit, one day had a room full Of
lawyers busy searching the authorities
to discover whether a man could mar
~ his widows niece" The investiga-
ton had proceeded some time when it
suddenly struck one Of the learned
counsel that a wife could not be a
widow until her husbands death, and
the laugh was on the LAWYERS.

QUEENS WHO SMOKE.

Former Queen Natalie Of Servia owns
a magnificent jeweled smoking outfit
and is very partial to the habit.
The queen Of Italy seldom smokes
but the mother of the king of Spain con-
sumes a large number Of Egyptian ciga-
rettes every day.
The czarina smokes cigarettes now
and then, and on her desk there are al
ways a couple Of golden and engraved
cigarette cases, a silver ash tray and a
malachite matchholder.
Empress Elizabeth Of Austria, who
was assassinated near Geneva, used to
smoke 30 to 40 cigarettes daily, either
Turkish OF Russian, and used also to in
dulge occasionally in small Italian
cigars.
At the English court the ladies are
strictly prohibited from smoking by
Queen Alexandra, who will not allow
smoking in her presence. Many fair
members Of the English aristocracy are
far from pleased thereat, because among
them are many confirmed snokers.
The queen Of Roumania, Carmen
Sylvia, also owns q large number Of gold
and silver cigarette eases. but she does
not much dksthearoma Of tobacco. The
queen Of Portugal, on the other hand,
b an ardent lover Of the weed. She pre-

which is sent TO her specially from Dres-
den. Her mother, the countess Of Paris,

A Spider and n King.

On the ceiling of one of the rooms in
Sans Souci. the world renowned palace
of Frederick the Great in Prussia, is
the painting of a huge spider with its
web. The reason for this odd decora-
ton is that one morning just as the
king was about to drink his usual
morning cup of chocolate in this room
he turned aside for something. and
when, q moment later, he took up the
cup he noticed a small spider had
fallen into it. Immediately upon Civ
ing an order fer a fresh cup a pistol
report was heard, and it was discov-
cred that the cook had shot himself.
The reason for this, it was later found
ora was that he had poisoned the
chocolate, and of course when a fresh
cup was ordered he supposed his
treachery had been discovered. 1t was
in remembrance of this narrow escape
that Frederick ordered a spiders web
TO be painted on the ceiling.
