BRIEF REVIEW.
Travel in The Olden Time.

1t wasa clear September day in Mon
treal, 1872, that Louis Joliet, young
Canadian, in the dress of a "coureur du
bois," ran down to the river and, plac-
ing his gun in canoe, already pro
visioned with bag Of corn and bag
of tobacco, sprang lightly into the boat
and was soon breasting the strong cur
rent of the st. Lawrence. The man car
ried commission from the French
Government authorizing him to lead an
expedition from Mackinac to discover
and explore the great river Of the West
conjectured to empty into the Gulf of
California. He also bore commission
to Jacques Marquette of the mission of
st. Ignace to be his assistant and COM
panion in the proposed expedition.
The prospect of lonely voyage of 1000
miles in a canoe caused Joliet no appre-
hension of discomfort; for a companion
had he not in his gun, for warmth and
cheer his camp fire, for solace his pipe,
and for protection there was his in
verted canoe, beneath which he could
sleep unmindful of the elements.

Hard on Art.

rian. One Of his pet aversions was a
young fellow in the town who posed as
an artist and once had taken some les.
sons In painting at the nearest large
city. Finally, however, the old man
was persuaded to put an "art depart
ment'' In his store, not that he believ-
ed any more In art, but because he de-
cided that If there were fools who
wanted to spend their money on pic
lures and chromos, he might as well
get it as any one else. The young paint
er heard Of it and took down his latest
production, hoping to find in Uncle Jo-
mas a ready market for home talent.
How much will you give me for 1t,
Uncle JonasT he asked.
The old man squinted at 1t for min
ute or two. about $1.75, reckon" he
said.
But Uncle JONAS" the artist pro-
tested, "the canvas cost more than
that"
II guess 1t did," said the old store
keeper, "but you must remember, my
son, that 1t was clean then"

The Languages Of India.

Among the l45 distinct languages
spoken in British India are some pos
sessing only few hundred words,
others rivaling English, as DR.. Grier-
son, or Russian, as Iwould say, in their
copiousness; some in which every word
is monosyllable, others in which some
are elongated by agglutination till they
run to ten syllables, like da-pa-l-ocho-

divers tongues lack verb and noun,
others are as complex and systematic
as Greek and Latin.

THE BEGGAR TRUST.

A scheme That For n Time Was a
Success In New York.
Several years ago one legged youth
named Kempton, who had left COM
Portable home to engage deliberately In
begging, conceived the idea of organiz-
Ing a community Of interest among
panhandlers In the Park row district, in
New York. He picked out strategic
spots throughout the city and selected
man to beg In each. These men were
always particularly well adapted to
their posts-a blink (blind NAM here, a
crust thrower there, MANNED youth
somewhere else. In order that the beg
gars might not be molested by the po-
lice lookout was appointed for each,
and In order that the syndicate's inter
ests might be conserved Kempton en-
ployed roundsmen to observe how
faithfully the beggars attended to bust.
ness and to collect hourly the earnings
of each. In case Of arrest each men,
ber of the band was assured Of legal
representation, to be paid for out of
the earnings Of the pool.
The scheme thrived for many months,
and at one time there were thirty men
in the combination, which became a
close corporation Of profit and power.
There is no knowing to what extent
1t might have expanded nor how infiu-
ential 1t might have become at last had
not the nature Of the organization
given it undue prominence and caused
it to fall directly under the ban of the
mendicant squad. One by one the men,
bers were captured and sent to the is
land, and in the end the gang was
broken up.-Theodore Waters in Every
body's Magazine.

American Assurance.

Americans are not the most impu-
dent persons on the face of the earth
Nevertheless on occasion they can
give points to those of some other ma
tions. A traveller in Korea was dis
covered taking snapshots of Russian
soldiers and promptly arrested
"Have you been photographing my

Snap, and the thing was done. The
Russian laughed, and the two men fell
into conversation, whereupon the Amor
lean said that he had recently been In
Port Arthur.
Port Arthur" exclaimed the Rus
sian. "Impossible"
"Oh, no; not impossible. Your COM
patriots escorted me in" And, pulling
some photographs from his pocket, he
added, II took these snapshots of your
torpedo destroyers as they scooped
down upon the little boat l was I'M
The Russian looked from the man to
the pictures with undisguised amaze
ment. Those are certainly our boats,'
he admitted.
Perhaps you know their names and
will oblige me by writing them on the
backs of the pictures"
Like the queen Of Sheba before Solo
mon, there was no longer any spirit in
the Russian. Meelly he took the prof
fered American pencil and upon the
Americans prints wrote the names of
the Russian torpedo destroyers.

THE MOOD OF MIGHT.
fhere Is n Peculiar Potency In Belief
In Ones own Power


Achievement Is less matter of natu-
val ability and external circumstance
shan of the habitual mental attitude.
Success. happiness and accomplishment
of all kinds are born of confidence,
buoyancy and faith. Discomfort self
distrust and hesitancy are all cankers,
eating into every part of life and de-
stroying force and perfection at every
point.
There is peculiar potency in belief
In ones own power. This need have
no element of egotism in it, only a
steadfast trust In oneself. Yet even
childish self conceit is better than
weak depreciation of self and the pal
sled muscle resulting. To believe in
ones own success, to think and act al
ways with confident assurance that 1t
Is possible to do anything and all things
that one desires to do-such an attitude
buoys up the spirit, sends the currents
of energy and skill pulsing through the
body and makes the maximum of ac-
complishment possible.
There is nothing of this nature that
will make hard work unnecessary. But
hard work, viyified by the electric cur
rent of faith and triumphant conf
dence, will be multiplied In effect as
If by magic. The human mechanism
In all Its intricacies and potencies Is
operated by mental and spiritual dy-
namo the essence of which Is faith, con-
fidence and love. Why let life be op-
Grated at the minimum when delib-
crate. persistent effort can awaken the
forces which will make each one the
full man or woman he or she was
meant to be7-Rocky Mountain News.

John Maxwell. stout Protestant,

Rullion Green, Nov. 2S, 1906, success
fully detled the many attempts that
We're made to capture him. Once he
had very narrow shave The soldiers
traced him 70 Edinburgh and there
gave him chase. Boiling down a close,
he dashed into a tavern and explain
ed his desperate case to the landlady,
who locked him into the chest that
held the oatmeal. The soldiers then
entered and searched the house from
top to bottom, but could not find their
man. Vowing they knew he was on
the premises, they called for drink and
sat down to think over the matter.
One of them, seated on the box that
contained the fugitive remarked:

to escape to Ireland, where he died.

A BRAVE TOREADOR.
One of the Most Thrilling Incidents
of the Bull Ring.

One of the Most Thrilling Incidents
of the Bull Ring.
The famous Spanish toreador Re
ing incidents ever witnessed in the
arena. 1t was at Bayonne.. After dis
posing of two bulls Reverte had twice
plunged his sword into a third Of great
strength and ferocity, and as the beast
continued careering wildly the specta-
tors began to hiss Reverte for bun
Cling. Wounded to the very quick Of
his pride, the Spaniard shouted, 1.-The
bull is slain!' and, throwing aside his
sword, sank on one knee with folded
arms in the middle of the ring. He
was right, but he had not allowed for
the margin of accident The wounded
beast charged full upon him, but the
matadore, splendid to the last, knelt
motionless as a statue, while the spec
tators held their breath In Mortified
suspense Reaching his victim, the bull
literally bounded at him, and as he
sprang he sank In death, with his last
effort giving one fearful lunge of the
head that drove horn into the thigh
of the kneeling man and laid bare the
bone from the knee to the joint. Still
Reverte never finched, but remained
kneeling, exultant in victory, but calm
ly contemptuous of applause, till he
was carried away to heal him of his
grievous wound.

MACARONI.
One Story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.


One story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.
A great many stories are In existence
about the origin of the word "macaro-
ni' and the invention of the dish so
designated. According to one author
ity, a drunken chef employed by one of
the popes was responsible both for the
name and the dish. He was preparing
souille for the papal soup, and, hav-
Ing taken considerably more than a
drop too much, he went on stirring the
flour until the soufile was of the con-
sistency of hard tack. The assistant
chef, knowing that his holiness was
not overpatient about things pertain
ing to the table, ventured to call the
attention of his chef to this fact, and
the latter, being a resourcefpi man, de-
cided to make a paste instead of q
souffle.
He waited the result with some anx-
iety and responded to call to appear
before his holiness with considerable
perturbation. Visions of a stay in the
papal dungeon rose before him, and
when the pontif asked, with a smiling
face, for the name Of the wonderful
paste served in the soup he was too
nervous to think Of name. my caro-
(my favorite)' he replied at last, and
the pontiff, not catching the words ex-
actly, said: "Macaroni? Well, in future
never serve me a meal without a dish
of macaroni." ni."-Indianapolis Sentinel.

A handsome English girl recently re-
turned from Spain was recounting her
experiences to a circle of friends,
among whom was a Spaniard. "The
thing that delighted me most" she
said, "was that charming practice they
have In Spain of offering you instantly
what you may chance to admire" do
you approve of the custom?" asked the
Spanish friend. "Oh, yesw was the
reply. "Senorita, you have very beau

A Thcughtful Empress,

One evening Catherine II. Of Russia
had dined In one town and was to re-
turn to her palace in another some
miles distant. These Journeys were
made with much ceremony and mag
nificence. The great sleighs were ready
to start for home. Catherine sat alone
In the imperial sleigh. She inquired If
the drivers and the footmen had had
dinner. Receiving a negative reply, she
at once left her sleigh. ''They have as
much need Of dinner as we," she said
to her party. And she waited patiently
until the servants had dined.

1t makes Polly feel cheerful and
happy for whole day, when l see the
hand of the law laid heavily on man
for beating his horse. The other day a
stout, able bodied man was whipping
an old horse up one of the steepest hills
in San Francisco. The wagon was
heavily loaded, the horse so bony and
emaciated from insufficient to eat, and
hard work, that he was not equal to
the effort when it came to moving the
heavily loaded wagon over the cobble-
stones that are a torture to man and
beast Faster and faster fell the whip
on the gaunt old horse that strained
every nerve to move the load. Oaths
came thick and fast as the lash fell.
The old horse trembled under the
blows, then all of a sudden when the
spectators were holding indignation
meetings on the sidewalk, out stepped

The death angel has knocked at the
door of many, and there are vacant
chairs, and something gone out of our
lives never to return. Yet, would we
call them back II we could ? They
have passed out Of the shadows and
disappointments of lie into the world
beautiful. They have laid down many
crosses to receive crown and eternal
life. 1t is just over there and it brings
us nearer to the bright beyond, and
when the angel of death summons us,
they will stand waiting at the gates
ajar to receive their own. 1t is beau
tiful thought and one we like to dream
of and will cherish it as balm to
soothe our aching hearts. 1t is belief
that the cynic cannot shake our conf
dence in, and if our friends have passed
out with the old year, there will come
a day when we shall meet and there
shall be no more partings, no more
tears.
