How an Actor Trains,

One Of the English actors who Wis
tied the United States first two years
ago became SO popular as a matinee
hero, in spite of his obesity, that it
seemed as if the day of the fat actor
might have arrived at last. But the
star evidently lost confidence in his
ability to hold his audience If he grew
any stouter. He returned last month
thinner by thirty pounds than he had
been. To retain these slighter pro-
portions no jockey ever went through
more strenuous training than he. He
takes Turkish bath daily, and when
there are matinees may be found in
the hot room as early as 10 o'clock in
the morning. He fingers there as
long as health will permit and has his
reward in looking many pounds slight
sr and some years younger when he
steps On the stage. But the treat
ment is heroic and the actor expresses
his own doubts as to the length of
Tine he will be able to keep up such
! sacrifice for the sake of his looks

Polite Conductor.

An Englishman travelling in Russia
furnishes the following incidents to A
London paper-an incident which he
personally witnessed and which he
says. shows better than volumes OF
description the customs and social
conditions OF Russian peasants: AT
railway station the train is on. the
point OF starting. AS usua! in Russia
the bell rings three times before de-
parture, to warn the passengers to
take their seats. At the first rim.
the chief conductor, seeing on the
platform group of peasants standing
humbly and cautiously together. says
very politely to them: Gentlemen.
the first signal is given; please take
your places"
One OF the peasants, turning to his
comrades, says: "D:mitri. Ivan. Ste
ven. do YOU hear? The master tells
Us to enter the train" ooh, Won stu.

tlemaa? You heard him say gentle
men,. He invited the gentry" There
is second ring of the bell. The con-
ductor calls, hurriedly and angriIy:
Please, gentlemen, take your seats; |
you hear the second signal"
The same peasant says to the
others: ut is for us. We must take
out seats. The train will start" You
ASST says his companion. do YOU
think. you are called gentleman?
Were you ever q gentleman" The
third ring Of the bell is heard. The
conductor. losing his temper and
austling the peasants forward cries.
Idiots! Pigs! Beasts! Do you hear
" not! Be off and take your seats"
That is for u.s. say the peasants.

DESTROYED.

Famous Prison of Pisa Long Since
Destroyed.
''The Tower Of Hunger was name
given to the tower of Gualandi, in
Pisa, celebrated because Of the refer
ence made to it in Dante's Inferno"
Ugolino, count Of Gherardesca (122O-
S9, was the head Of leading Chi
belline family in Pisa. DESERVING the
Ghibellines, he went over to the
Guelphs. Afterward he returned to
his own side and Joined that uncom-
promising faction which regarded
Archbishop Ruggieri as their head, I'M
til dissensions arose between him and
them after he had killed the archbish-
ops nephew in a quarrel.
In the summer Of 1888 Ugolino was
seized by the Ghibellines and sent a
prisoner to the tower of Gualandi,
with his two sons and two grandsons.
Here they, were kept till March, 1889,
when the door of the tower was fas-
tened, the keys thrown into the Arno
and the prisoners left to die Of starva-
ton. The tower, which was ever after
known as the "Tower of Hunger" was
in ruins at the end Of the fifteenth CEN
fury and was finally destroyed in 1855.

OLDEST CLOCK IN ENGLAND.
Erected In 1920 In one of the Towers
Of Peterborough Cathedral.

Erected In 1920 In One of the Towers
T. of Peterborough Cathedral.
Peterborough cathedral has the old
est working clock in England. 1t was
erected about 1920 ard is probably the
work of monastic clockmaker. 1t is
the only one now known that is wound
up over an old wooden wheel. This
wheel is about twelve feet in circum-
ference, and the galvanized cable.
about 300 feet in length, supports a
leaden weight of three hundredweight,
which has to be wound up daily.
( The clock is said to be of much more
primitive construction than that made
by Henry de Nick for Charles V. of
France in 1870. The clock chamber
is in the northwest tower, some 12O
feet high, where the sunlight has not
penetrated for hundreds of years, and
the winding is done by the light of
candle.
The gong is the great tenor bell of
the cathedral, which weighs thirty
two hundredweight, and it is struck
hourly by an eighty pound hammer.
The going and the striking parts of
the clock are some yards apart, COM
munication being by slender wire.
The clock has no dial. The time is
shown on the main wheel of the es-
capement, which goes round once in
two hours.-LOndOn Chronicle.

AFRICA.
The Way That Name Was Bestowed
Upon the Continent.

The Way That Name Was Bestowed
Upon the Continent.
The name Africa was given by the
Roman conquerors. after the third
Punic war, B. G. 146, to the province
which they formed to cover the terri
tory Of Carthage. 1t was most prob
ably adopted from the word "Afry-
gah," the Carthagenian term for a COL
ony.
This original Africa was limited in
extent. Its borders reached, according
to Pliny, from the River Tusca on the
west, which divided it from Numidia,
to the bottom Of the Syrtis Minor on
the southeast though Ptolemy carries
it as far east as the bottom Of the
Great Syrts, making it include Numi-
dia and Tripolitana.
In later days the whole African con-
tinent took its name from this part,
which In its narrower limits CORE
sponded with the modern regency Of
Tunis and was called by the Greeks
Lydia. Africus, the stormy southwest
wind, was so called in Italy because it
blew from Africa.

AN ARBITRARY TYRANT.
This Autocrat Exists Solely by the
Will Of the People.

This AutOcrat Exists Solely by the
Will of the People.
And it came to pass that in the very
height of modern times an arbitrary
tyrant ruled over great country call
ed America. The name Of this tyrant
was Every bodydoesit, and all the in
habitants Of the land bowed themselves
to his WILL
Terror Of the autocrat caused grown
men and women to cast aside every
dictate of common sense-sometmes
Of honesty as well. Children over
studied, wearing out precious eyesight,
cramping growing organs, yet mothers
whispered under their breath the name
of Everybodydoesit and the evil went
on. Men bought houses and European
passages, automobiles and other ex-
pensive luxuries, the cost of which was
out of all proportion to their income.
"Everybodydoesit" was tie explana-
ton they gave.
Sorriest Of all was the case of the
young girls. They patronized I'M
wholesome plays, read books produced
by diseased minds, they overdressed,
abandoned the gentle ideals Of their
mothers day and grew old before their
time. "Everybodydoesit," they said.
And thus it was in all classes Of soci-
ETY. throughout the broad land. All
men and women, young and old. recog-
nized the sway of Everybodydoesit and
bowed their necks to his yoke.-Phila-

Napoleon's' Prize Essay.

Napoleon I. gained prize as a boy
from the Academy Of Lyons for the
best paper in answer to the question,
"What are the truths and principles
that ought to be inculcated in men that
they may enjoy happiness?" Fifty
louis he received for his effort. He
mentioned the matter with little
pride one day in the presence of Tai
leyrand. The latter paid no obvious
heed at the time, but few days later
he called on the emperor and handed
him the manuscript Of his boyish es-
say. He had just obtained it from the
academy at Lyons. Have you read
it?" asked Napoleon as he took the
paper. mo, sire; have just received
it." Napoleon at once threw the paper
on the fire. Talleyrand, naturally
panied and hurt, flushed up, but Ma
poleon explained: II did not wish to
let any one see the paper. 1t was
written when I was very young and
might expose me to ridicule as en-
perOr."
