Some of swift's Sarcasm.

Swifts RULES and Directions For
Servants" are quoted in What to Eat
as an evidence that the servant of the
seventeen century did not differ mate
rally from the modern American ar
ticle. Among these rules are the fol-
lowing: "Scrape the bottom Of your
pots with a silver spoon. for fear Of
giving them taste Of copper" "Wrlte
your name and your sweethearts with
the smoke of candle on the roof of
the kitchen to show your learning"
whoever comes to call on your mas
ter or mistress when they are abroad
never burden your memory with the
persons name, for, indeed, you have
too many other things to remember"

stand Idly watching, but lay 1t on the

Woes of an Editor.

When a newspaper tells the simple
truth about bad man who is trying
TO get into public place where he
can steal, the truth is called attack"
If when the same man runs for Office
the facts Of his past career are printed
to show the people what they may ex-
pect, the editor who prints these facts
is abused, and the rascal poses as a
martyr. When man turns out wrong,
as the editor said he would, If the edi-
tor says his prophecies came true, the
people accuse him Of prosecuting a
man and kicking him when he is
down." Yet If the paper says nothing
about bad men who are trying to rob
the people they say that the editor is
bought off and that he has taken hush
money.-Emporia Gazette.

Plnce md Price In New York.

Prices on Broadway and on Nassau
street are notoriously at variance, but
the value sometimes placed on n well
known business name is even more pre-
tentious. Jones has watch that was
carried by his father-a costly gold
timepiece that I'm its prime was one to
be proud Of. The other day he decided
to have It restored" and naturally
took 1t to a well known Broadway
store.
"Ill have to look It over" the clerk
told Jones when the latter modestly
asked the cost of putting the watch in
good running order. "Leave 1t and come
back tomorrow"
Jones did so, and caught his breath
as the clerk remarked that 1t would
cost exactly $3.50 for repairs. Then
he took his watch and fed. At noon
on the same day he took his watch to
a little shop ON Nassau street.
"It just needs new handspring and
a cleaning" he was told. "Thatll cost
you $2.50."-New York Post.

MiIIepeds.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs
than any other animal Is that which
belongs to the family of insects known
as millepeds, or thousand footed. There
are several different species of these.
but they all possess tho common char
acteristlc of having sesmented bodies,
each segment of which is provided
with It's own pair of feet. These are
set so closely along the body as to re-
semble hairs, and when they move one
after another with perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on n
small scale as that of field of oats
undulating under the influence of the
wind. Some species Of mlllepeds have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs. They are all perfectly harmless,
unlike the centipeds. which frequently
have the power Of inaicting poisonous
wounds.

THE FERRONNlERE.
An Ornament That Probably Dates
BncIs TO Remote AntIquIty.


A ferronnlere was band or chain
round the head, holding a jewel in the
center of the forehead. The last in
stance of its being in fashionable use
was furnished by America early In the
nineteenth century. Mrs. Earle, the
historian Of transatlantic costume,
vouches for this curious survival.
This ornament Is known to have been
popular in Europe in the sixteenth cen
tury, and In the east 1t could probably
be traced back to remote antiquity.
Biblical students know that the Jews,
following custom of the ancient
Egyptians, often adopted this method
of wearing their phylacterles, or front
let's, between their eyes.
The modern application of the name
Is, according to Mrs. Earle, obscure.
but there does not appear to be much
doubt about the matter. One of the
pictures of Leonardo da Vinci goes by
the name Of LA Belle Ferronnlere" 1t
would seem to be portrait of Lucrezla
Crivelli, favorite of Ludovico Sforza
and, as the lady Is depicted wearing
one of these ornaments, it is clear that

FEAT OF A MACGREGOR.
wonderful Physical Strength That
Was Used to Good Purpose.

Sir William MacGregor was the hero
of such an adventure as one expects
ordinarily TO read about only in fiction
of certain hue.
The steamship Syria, with a lot of
Indian coolies on board, struck on a
rock about twelve hours from Suya, the
capital of Fiji.
DIR. MacGregor, then acting colonial
secretary, organized Il relief expedition,
clambered over broken mast that was
the only path TO the emigrants and
again and again returned with q man
or woman on his back and sometimes
child, held by its clothes between his
teeth.
A man of vast physical strength,
MacGregor wanted It all for his final
feat. Down below ON the reef was
woman who had fallen overheard, had
got Mt the spirits and was mad with
drink. The captain of the ship and
police officer who had gone after her
were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid down rope, caught the
knot Of the woman's hair in his teeth
and with his hands seized the two men
and dragged them both into safety. He
went back TO Suva in borrowed suit
of paJamas, having left all his clothes
and good deal of his skin on the coral
reef.
Modest, like many heroes, MacGregor
left himself out of his own report, and
1t was from the governor that the
queen first heard the whole story.

THE TOMB OF CAIN.

City of Damascus.

City of Damascus.
The early traditions concerning the
city of Damascus are curious and inter
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. BY some of the ancient
writers It was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the garden
Of Eden, and just opposite there is Il
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, II is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field Is called Ager Damascenus. and
near its center there formerly stood a
pillar which was said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was
created. A few miles out there Is an
eminence called the Mountain of Abel,
supposed by some TO be the place where
the first two brothers offered their sac
rifces, also the spot where the first
murder was committed. The most in
teresting spot pointed out, however, Is
about three leagues from the city,
where an old ruin is shown which all
the orient believes to be the tomb of
Cain. The traditions respecting this
famous spot are known to antedate the
Christian era by several hundred years.
Up to the time of Nespaslan the in
terror of the tomb Is said to have been
lighted and warmed by one of the ever
burning" lamps so commonly used by
the ancients.
