M. THEIRS AT HOME.
The Peculiar Habits of the Histo-
 rian's Daily Life.

The daily life of Thiers was very peculiar. He rose always, says Corn hill Magazine, at a very early hour, about five o'clock in the morning, sel- dom later After cup of coffee and a light rcpast he would work steadily for many hours. Then he usually took a walk, or would perhaps play game of tennis, before breakfast, which meal was served at the usual French hour. Then he would speak to his friends and go out for drive. sometimes pay visits, and return a lit tie after four, when he went regularly to bed and slept until it was time to get ready for dinner. For some eX- traordinary reason his dinner hour was 7:50, and he was always punctual. After dinner he always slept for 20 minutes or half an hour and then would remain up chatting and talk ing to a late hour His brightest mo- ment was always subsequent to his after-dinner sleep. No one could be more agreeable in conversation, more easy or natural, or more ready to i'm part information without being pro lix. He was a true Proyencal in all his tastes and habits. He loved the bright sun of his native Provence. He thoroughly appreciated the pe- culiar charm of the coast near Mar seilles, the beauty of the gray olive groves and the smiles of the Medit- erranear. He preferred the dishes of Provence to almost any others. He used to mix oil literally with his food. and l remember at a dinner at the Duchese GalIiera's fair-sized bottle of oil was specially placed next his plate and he consumed it all!

LITTLE THINGS.

A good-by kiss is a little thing, With your hand on the door to go, But 1t takes the venom out of the sting or a thoughtless word or a cruel fling That you made an hour ago. A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare After the toll of the day, And it smooths the furrows plowed by
 care, The lines on the forehead you once called
 fair,
 Tn the years that have flown away. Iris a little thing to say: You are kind; love you my dear" each night; But it sends thrill through the heart
 l find For love is tender as love is blind As we climb lifes rugged height. We starve each other for loves caress; We take, but we do not give; II seems so easy some soul 10 bless But we dole the &ye grudgingly, less and
 -less, Till 'tis bitter anS hard to live. --McCalls Magazne.%

On Canvas.

A Parisian artistis said to have dis covered a method by which he can re- produce any subject by photography on painters canvas, reducing to the minimum the difficult art of painting reproductions. No one has been able to doit hitherto, because the canvas is coated with white lead and fatty sub stances. Byusing photograph of the picture on canvas the necessity of spending weeks, perhaps months, in work on the original outline is obyiat- ed, as the shading is faithfully repro duced by the camera ali the same time as the outline, and only the colors have to be filled in.

CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL.
Famous Archbishops That Are Buried
 Within Its Walls.

Although since the reformation no protestant archbishop of Canter- bury was buried in his metropoli- tan cathedral until leave was ob- tained for the interment of Arch
 bishop Benson in 1895, the dust of many famous prelates lies within these ancient precincts, says the London Chronicle. Cuthbert, the elevnth archbishop of Canterbury, powerfully affected the fortunes of the cathedral by obtaining permis- sion from Pope Gregory, nearly 12 centuries ago, that henceforth all the archbishops might be buried within the walls of their own cathedral Accordingly, from Cuth- bert to Cardinal Pole, in 1859, the earthly remains of all the bishops lie there at rest, including those of t. Odo, |. Dunstan, t. Alphege, t. Anselm, St. Thomas a Beckett, Hu- bert, Walter, Stephen Langton, Archbishops Peckham, Winchelsey, Bradwardine, Islip, Simon de Sud bury, Courtenay, Arundel, Chichley, Baurchier, Morton, Warham and other saints and statesmen, famous in history for their high services to church and commonwealth.
 The interior of Canterbury cathedral is so carefully preserved that it gives one the impression of extreme newness. Yet the whole choir and east end of the cathedral, as it now stands, is mainly the work of William of Sens and William the Englishman, who fourished toward the end of the twelfth century. But the cathedral and the many build ings in its precinct are a perfect museum of medieval architecture Next to the transitional style, which is represented in the choir, comes the first pointed or early En- glish style, which came about half a century later To this period be- longs the far-famed ''archbishop's chair usually called the "chair of St. Augustine" on which the arch bishops are enthroned, and which was naturally the object of much interest at the funeral of recent date. It is elaborately carved, and is made of three pieces of Purbeck marble From the style of its de- coration it is believed to have ! n first placed in the cathedral in 1920, at the superb ceremony of the translation of Becket's remains from the crypt to his priceless shrine.

workers to depopulate the various coal
districts by sending idle men and their
families to other states. where work
has been secured for them. The Colo
rado Fuel & Iron Company and Victor
Fuel Company announced today that
they would continue to operate their

The temperance lecture given under
the auspices OF the w. C. T. U. at the
First Methodist church last evening
was undoubtedly the most thorough
and exhaustive exposition OF that i'm
portant subject ever given in the city.
That Is because Miss Lillian Phelps
had not addressed an Astoria audience
before. 1T is not the use or abuse but
the nature of the stuff," said Miss
Phelps, and along that line her remarks
were delivered. There were no hair
raising stories nor lucid denunciations
mdulged in, but the whole address con-
sisted of heart TO heart talk that ap-
pealed to the speakers hearers in a
way that kept them spell bound while
she talked and made them sorry when
she ceased. No one left the house dur
ing the discourse and all were glad
that they were there. Miss Phelps ex-
pressed her shocked feelings regarding
the wide open condition of Portland

A collection was taken up

The management of the football
games that take place every Sunday is
decidedly poor, and the persons who
pay their money to view the contests
from the grandstand complain that
they are not treated with fairness.
Every Sunday big crowd of men ana
boys gathers on the side lines and the
view of the reasonable element in, the
grandstand is obstructed to an extent
that ruins the sport. Chief Hallock
would unquestionably provide a few
policemen for the lovers of the game il
the request was made, and there is gen
eral hope that some such steps win be
taken. The side line crowds not only
obstruct the view of the spectators in
the grandstand, but interfere with the
playing Of the men. The practice Of
crowding onto the field is miserable
one, but has continued so long here that
policemen are absolutely necessary to
enforcement of ground regulations.
