Galileo's wit got him into trouble when he put into the mouth of Sim plicio, the foolish opponent of the Copernican theory in his Dialogues. D an argument that Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised, and insisted on Calico incorporating in the work. Calico made Simplicio quote it as an argument he had from "very eminent and learned parsonage" The enemies of Calico persuaded Urban that he had been made game of," and this was the offense of which Calico was guilty. It was not for upholding the theory that the sun stands still and the earth moves that Calico was tried by the inquisition. Urban himself had supported the Copernican doctrines, both as cardinal and as pope.

London Publication Again Resur. rects the Mythical American
 Who TOadies to Royalty.

A continental hotel keeper, says a writer in the London Truth, recently confided the following story to friend { of mine: Some years ago, after Queen Victoria had been staying at certain hotel, wealthy American called on the proprietor and signified his desire to sleep if it could be managed, in the same < apartments, the same bed, and if possi- ble, the same bed clothes, as those which had held the sacred person of her mai esty before they had been sent to the wash. Money was no object to him. What would it cost?
 The hotel proprietor was equal to the occasion. He thought it could be ar ranged for f20. A bargain was struck on these terms. The millionaire duly arrived, and retired to the royal couch. No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his nights rest, and the prospect of subse- quently electrifying his friends with the story of his regal experience His pleas are must have been somewhat marred when he discovered later on that her Britannia majesty always travelled with her own bed and bedding

FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Emphasizes Fact That Only the Strongest and Physically Fit
 Should Be Allowed to Play.

So many accidents have been laid to the game of football and so many lads have been crippled thereby that we sell dom hear of the injuries and deaths that might have been avoided The death of young medical student of Baltimore during 8 contest, but at a time when the ball was not in play, says the New York Herald, affords a striking instance of an easily prevent ible accident.
 The victim had been sufferer from heart disease for a long time and yet was allowed to take active part in the game. His condition should have been, if it was not, known to his med ical associates.
 There is no account of his having received any injury previous to the time he was stricken with collapse. No better proof of his unfitness for any extra physical exertion can be given than the suddenness of his death while he was merely resting The lesson of the sad story is emphatic and con- vincing
 There is no game that requires more careful and systematic training than football and only the strongest are capable of bearing the strain. If there IS any physical weakness in the can dldate 1t becomes quickly manifest as he goes on with his exercises, and why . such incapacity could not have been discovered in time to have saved the unfortunate youth is difficult to imag- inc.
