the relief of wrecked American seamen be
extended to those wrecked on the Isthmus

The official pay of the foreign pro-
fessor at first glance seems absurdly
small in comparison with the pay in
American institutions. In Prussia, for
example, full professor receives by
law $1,000 Tin Berlin $1,000 the first
year, to be increased 500 year every
fourth year for twenty years. In adj
dition he receives an allowance for
house rent. This is, however. only the
fixed part of his income. The hOnora-
rum which he receives from the fees
of his students will vary greatly, de-
pending on the subject taught and the
attractive power of the teacher. In
comes of 5000 a year and even larger
sums are received in the larger univer-
sites by certain we'll known men. TAX
ing into account the fact that the for
eign professor has life place, that his
widow and minor children receive pen
sions, he is better off financially and
Is far more free from the anXieties
which come with modest income than
his American brother, whose nominal
bay is higher-Henry s. Pritchett In

The object of Ceramics in writing
Don Quixotc" was. as he himself de-
clares, to render abhorrcd of rnen the
false and absurd stories contained i'll
the books Of chivalry. The fanaticisn
caused by these romances was seri-
Gus evil in Spain in the sixteenth cen
tury, and to destroy Il passion which
had taken such deep root among all
classes was bold undertaking in
which, however. Cervantes was sue
ceSsful. No books of chivalry were
written after the appearance Of don
QuiXote," and those then in existence
steadily disappeared, so that they are
now among the rarcst of literary curl
ositics. This famous romance, which
actually had power TO destroy an entire
province of literature. has now become
the oldest specimen OF romantic flc-
ton and Il most notable monument Of
genius, by which "Cervantes laughed

a Responsive Audience,

A well known player, whose forte Is
romantic comedy, tells an amusing
story in connection with the produc-
ton some years ago of an unsuccess-
full comedy This comedy was dire
failure, drawing but meager audi
enceS. The record in this respect was
reached when the curtain rose on a
Wednesday matinee in Brooklyn, with
fifteen persons in the house. In the
front of the house there was but one
occupant-a young girl III the second
row. In the first row Of the balcony
sat one young man.
The play opened with scene on the
deck of a yacht, and as the leading
man emerged from the cabin and
gazcd into the empty gulf before him,
he spoke his first line:
The sea is purple. Have you, too,
noticed it,"
Whereupon the voice of the young
man in the balcony responded, Il dor'r
know about the young lady downstairs,
but l can see it very plainly. "-Har-

not generally for 200 years after. The
oven did not come into use until the

for hundreds of years. The stove,

separate oven and the fireplace, with
its spit. crane and hanging pots.

PERFUMES OF THE EAST.

The Crusaders Brought Them From

During the dark ages and in early
EiediacVal times perfumes. with the eX-
ception of incense for ecclesiastical use,
were almost unknown. and the rude
Saxon thames and Norman barons and
their SpouScS were quite content with

scented.
Even the standards of the legions
were perfumed, and the velarium OF
the Coliseum when the emperor was

barbarians led to the shutting up of the
perfumcrs' shops with which the Eter-

Awful Experience Of
Man and Woman
in Alaska.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. 12.-Charles W.
Cook and Mrs. Rita Wolfenden have
lived through an almost unbelievable
experience. They are now at Kayak,
Alaska, recovering their strength after
gcing nine days without food, other
than the flesh of their small dog. Six
OF these days were spent at sea In an
open whaleboat, the seams Of which
opened, necessitating constant bailing.
Cook and the woman left Yakataga
for Kayak to overhaul two men who
had robbed them of $500. The boat
began leaking, but before they could
reach shore they were blown to sea by
terrific wind, which continued six
days. Their food was spoiled by salt
water. A drenching rain fell most
of the time. Becoming delirious, Cook
jumped overheard, but Mrs. Wolfen-
den seized him by the sweater and
pulled him back into the boat. Cooks s
delirium continued for Two days. when
Mrs. Wolfenden became delirious.
On the evening of the sixth day they
were blown ashore at Cape st. Elias.
The boat struck rocks and was wreck
ed. The couple waded ashore, fol-
lowed by the dog. They built fire
with difficulty and roasted seaweed,
but it gave them no strength. The
nearest habitation was White Head
Point, twenty miles distant. They
finally killed the dog. eating Its roasted
flesh without garnishment. Two days
later they were able to walk to White
Head.

Famous Battle House Burned

S1,O0O,OOO.
Flames Break Out Late at Night and
Spread Rapidly, Causing Guests
to Flee for Their Lives.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 13.-A long dis

says one person was killed and several
seriously injured in the Battle House
fire
MOBILE, Ala, Feb. 13.-Losses esti-
mated at 81 ,OOO, 900 have been caused by
a fire that tonight left the famous
Battle House a ruin and swept on to
buildings adjoining. The blaze was
discovered shortly before IL o'clock last
the firemen were still fighting the
flames, which apparently were beyond
control.
The fire broke out in some unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen Of the
Battle House, which, although an old
hostelry, was one of the largest in the
South. The flames spread so quickly
that a number of guests lost all their
belongings and many of those on the
fifth floor were compelled to take TO
the fire escapes in their night clothes.
Two elevator boys, Joseph Parks and
Bernard Constantine, stuck to their
posts until all the guests had been
taken out, although the elevators
caught fire and the youngsters were
burned about the face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all the
electric lights in the business portion
OF the city went out, due to the turn
ing off of the power to save the fire.
men from danger.
At . o'clock this morning the fire,
still burning fiercely. was threatening
the Commercial Hotel adjoining. All
the guests escaped, leaving their prop
erty in the hotel. An extension of the
fire was also threatened on the east
side.

The lawyers of the Countess after a

that orders of foreign authorities can
not be executed in Italy and that the
case will have to be tried first in the
