Nuremberg.

Nuremberg. whose walls are report
ed to he showing signs of rapid decay,
was once almost the richest and most
famous town in Europe. The well
known saying of Pope Plus II.-that
a Nuremberg citizen was better off
than a Scottish king-was justified by
the accounts that have been preserved
of the town and its burghers. In the
fifteenth century there came from
Nuremberg the first watches known as
Nuremberg eggs the first cannon.
the first gun lock, the first wire draw
ing machine, the clarinet. certain de
scriptions of pottery and the art OF
painting on glass. For 800 years it's
now decaying walls defended the val
ley of the Pegnitz against all enemies.
Four hundred towers once topped the
walls, but only about a third OF them
now remain.

.Iunt = Hit Misty.

There had been half dozen stories
Of thick fogs, but Captain Mansfield
had waited his turn with patience. 1t
came at last, and the other captains
turned their weather beaten faces to-
ward him with IN expression of cheer
full credulity.
"Twas told me of house setting
pretty nigh the shore along halfway
down the coast o Maine" said Cap
tain Mansfield. Il could show you the
house if it came right. 1t has a Gu
rious lopsided portico on it, and one
day l asked the man that lives there
why it happened to be built that queer
shape.
. "'Well,' says he, the talk is that the
man who lived here first had cousin
that was an architect up Boston way,
and one time the Teller was down here
in a terrible foggy spell, and he was
figuring out to his cousin how he could
build little porticO of such and such
dimensions, measuring out into the
fog with his rule, and so on.
"'Twas in the late afternoon; he
went off next day by train. The fog
still held, and along in the morning
the man that lived here happened to
notice that the marks of the rule out
into the fog were still plain, so as he
couldn't go a-fishing he took some lum-
Der and built the foundations of this
portico That queer jog that makes
it lopsided is where the wind bore in
on the fog, they say, and bent the
rule marks in youths Companion.

A Royal Romance,

Carmen Sylvia, the royal authoresS
met her husband, the king of Rouma.
mia, in quite a romantic way. AS a
girl of seventeen she was running down
the staircase of the palace at Berlin
when her foot slipped on the marble,
and she would have fallen to the floor
below, but at the moment Prince
Charles Of Hohenzollern stepped from
an anteroom and caught her in his
arms. She did not accept him, although
he made her the offer at once. In joke
for it was then most unlikely-she
said she preferred to remain queen OF
herself, but if she became queen of any
country at all she would prefer Rou-
mania. Eight years afterward the
beautiful Carmen was married to
Prince Charles, who had been proclaim
ed king of Roumania. and thus she re-
allied her ambition.

Nativity of the Potato,

There is as much mystery as history
connected with the common tuber call
ed the potato. Its nativity, original
place in the kingdom of nature and
several other things regarding it are
still open questions. AS to its nativity,
the weight Of argument seems to favor
the tropical or subtropical regions OF
America. There is tradition that the
vines once grew to monstrous size and
that the balls" were of the "bigness
Of melons," and at that time the roots
were not tubers, the edible parts grow
ing among the branches. 1t seems that
they were first introduced into Europe
in the year 1865.
Haskelrs Roots and Wild Plants"
says, "Wamkins first fetched a queer,
Dubious root out of America which
some called 'bodado,' while others,
who had heard the Peruvians mention
it, spoke of it as potato" Pertains
Cyclopedia of Agriculture says that Sir
John Wamkins found it growing wild
near Santa FEE de BOgota at an alti-
tude of 5000 to 1900 feet. He also
says that it was fetched out of Amer
lea" at about the time settled upon by
Haskell--viZ, in the year 1865.

A Wedding In HOlla nd

A Dutch wedding is curious con-
trast to an English one. In Holland
the wedding party enters the church
two and two, the procession being
headed by the bride and bridegroom.
Forms are arranged in a semicircle
round the pulpit, and there the young
people with their friends and relatives
seat themselves. The ceremony con-
slsts of tile reading Of portion Of
Scripture and long admonitiOn to the
bride and bridegroom, delivered extern
pore by the black gowned minister
The prayers are sat through like the
rest of the service, for it is against
Calvinistic custom to kneel to pray.
At the close of the service Bibles are
presented to the young couple and to
certain of their relatives. Then the
marriage is registered. This free dis
tribution of Bibles, which is made by
the state, accounts for the very small
sale there is for the Holy Scriptures
in Holland.

when He Did BETTER.

A celebrated bishop once sat through
q long and atrOciOus sermon on q hot
summer morning. With an immova-
bic cOuntenance he listened to meta
phors that were mixed, pathos that
was bathOs and humor that was sad
The preacher was a youth just out of
college, very cOnceited youth. He
beloved through his sermon at the
top of his lungs. His gestures were
violent enough to break his arms. AT
every climax he fixed the bishop with
his eye to see if suitable impression
had been made.
And at the end of the service this
young snip staggered up to the bishop
and said:
81 fancy did rather well today, sir.
Don't you think 500"
Yes" returned the bishop; "but you
did better last year"
Last Year, said the young man.
"Why, l didn't preach at all last year"
'"Thats the reason" said the bishop,
with a pleasant smile.

When Water Was Avoided.

d Until comparatively recent times
there was a medical prejudice against
drinking water. Sir William Vaughan
in his Natural and Artificial Direc-
tons For Health" declared that water
fought seldom to be drunk" Another
doctor admitted that it might be
healthful for children, but not for men
Except some odd, abstemious one
among thousand perchance, degen-
crate and of doggish nature, for dogs
Of nature do abhOr wine" Indeed, the
recommendation of water as a bever-
age was supposed to be the sign of the
quack. Even Wesley in his primitive
Physic" wrote of 1t with caution:
"Drink only water If it agrees with
your stomach; If not, good. clear small
beer"

A LIGHT HEART.
Said to BE Oftener Linked with
Drawn Than With Brain.

Is it possible to cultivate a light
heart? Probably not, but all sorts of
shifts have been practiccd Mt all times
to retain one. There have always been
men like Thoreau and St Francis who
believed that property brought with 1t
heavy heart and who have refused,
as did the American philosopher, to be
''harnessed to his Possessions" St
Francis cast aside every weight that
he might free himself from idle sor-
row." He and his first disciples "loved
nothing earthly and feared nothing
earthly. They were secure in all places
troubled by no fears, distracted by no
cares; they lived without trouble of
! mind, waiting without solicitude for
the coming day" ST Francis in the
Businesses of the Italian hills singing
French hymns among the highway rob-
bers in his whimsical lightness of heart
makes strange picture. He knew
French badly, but it seemed to him the
language of gayety. The founder of
the Franciscans, though we are told
that he possessed what was quantity
called the gift of tears when perform
Ing his devotions in his cell, was never
seen abroad without a smile; neither
would he tolerate any appearance of
heaviness in his followers. He rebuked
a brother to whom detected manner
had become habitual, saying, MY
brother, repent thy sins in private, and
do not appear before the community
thus dOwncast"
; We are inclined to think that those
who make their living-provided it is
a fairly good one-in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem to
be enjoyed by domestic servants, to
Judge by the sounds which come up
stairs, are Il case in point. busting,
scrubbing and plate cleaning seem to
weigh on the heart far less than doc
toring, journalism or the study Of law
or theology. Too often spirits are
broken by oyerwork or by disappoint-
ment in the wild struggle to succeed
which goes on among professional peo-
pie. Certainly in the literary world
light hearts are generally lost early,
yet the light hearted man of letters,
though he is rare, is the most attractive
of all light hearted men. He knows
how to express the music that is In his
mind and is like 4 composer who is
also an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Spectator

A PART or THE PLAY.
Kissing That Brought some Russiau

Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to a Prison Cell.
The course of true art does not al
ample, in the theater Of Yelizavetgrad.
In the fourth act OF certain play there
is theater within a .theater, as, in
Shakespeare's Hamlet" only that
some of the dramatis persona have to
mix with the public in the galleries
and to hiss the chief actress, who duly
faints. AS soon as the gentlemen had
taken their places among the gods and
begun to hiss and whistle the police
man on duty came down upon them
like wolf on the fold, and before they
could utter word of explanation he
and his colleagues 'nabbed' two, re-
moved them by force and took them to
were charged with disorderly conduct
at a public place. They protested that
they had only done their duty, but the
police laughed their explanations to
scorn. The public left the theater en-
masse to see what was happening to the
actors, but the latter had already been
consigned to the cells. The crowd in
the street before the station house grew
rapidly in numbers, and its noisy
protests threatened to eliminate i'm Sc
rious disorders. Fortunately, the man.
ager Of the theater appeared before the
superintendent and by the light of a
lamp detained, with manuscript in
hand, the whole fourth act, in order to
show that kissing was an essential part
Of the performance. Only then did the
representatives of the law release the
innocent actors.

A Queer Dog,

Dagonet in the Referee tells story
of two little girls who were trying to
explain what sort of dog it was they
had seen. Said one little girl, 1T was
one of those funny ones; you know, the
ones that are dog and a half long and
half a dog high" Said the other: you
must know the sort. It's dog that
only has four legs, but looks as if it
ought to have six" 1t may interest
Dagonet to hear of fairly apt def,ri,
ton that Public Opinion man once
heard applied to the dachshund-"the
dog with the Louis XIV. legs"

The Appetite of Kitty.

The number of wild animals sold as
pets to private families in this country
is said to be beyond belief, but the
families generally return the beasts
before long to the dealer. A writer on
this wild beast traffic in Leslie's
Monthly says that one animal dealer
who recently sold lion cub to lady
received only two months afterward a
letter from her saying: please come
and take Kitty away. She has eaten
our Newfoundland dog"
