SOUTHEY'S GUlLLOTlNE,
1t Did Not Serve the Purpose For
Which 1t Was Made.

1t Did Not Serve the Purpose For
Which 1t Was Made.
Lord Southey once in fit of disgust
with life had a magnificent guillotine
erected in the drawing room Of his
magnificently appointed house in the
Rue de Luxembourg, at Paris. The
machine was an elaborate affair, with
ebony uprights inlaid with gold and
silver. The framework was, carved
Of immense weight and falling at the
touch Of a spring, was Of ornamental
steel, polished and as sharp as razor.
The spring which liberated the knife
was placed within easy reach Of any
one kneeling upon the scaffold. In fact,
every detail was arranged with view
to the convenience Of the would be
suicide The day that the engine Of
death was entirely finished Lord
Southey completed his testamentary
dispositions, shaved, had his hair cut
and, clothed In robe Of white silk,
knelt upon the platform under the
knife.
Lie SuIllOllue WAS pldceu before
large mirror, wherein the person CON-
hitting suicide could see his own i'm
age until the last. Murmuring short
prayer, Lord Southey placed his head
in the semicircle and pressed the spring.
The next morning he was found
calmly sleeping in his bed. The spring
had failed to work, and after several
fruitless efforts Lord Southey was CON-
PEELED to relinQuish his attempt upon
his life. Thoroughly cured of his spleen,
he presented the guillotine to the Glas-
gov museum, whence he made an an
nual pilgrimage to see it until the end
Of his life.

First Typesettins Machine.

In answer to the query, How old are
typesetting machines? the London
Chronicle prints an extract from a
copy Of the Birmingham Herald of
1928: "Dr. Church is now at Birming-
ham preparing his new printing ma
chine. The compositor has only to sit
down at this curious mechanism as he
would at a pianoforte, and as he strikes
the keys the types all fall from the
case into their proper places with a
velocity that keeps pace with the most
rapid speaker. The form having been
worked off, the type moves into the
melting pot, from which it Is returned,
recast into it's original state without
any diminution Of material and thence
distributed into the case quite new.
One Of these machines placed at the
bar. Of the house Of commons would al
ways insure correct report Of the de-
bate DR.. Church, the inventor, Is a
native Of Boston, in New England"

The Nyedi:eval Kitchen

It was the middle ages before the
kitchen had been raised 10 the dignity
Of an established apartment. Strange
doings went on in those medieval
kitchens. Butchers slaughtered ami
mails there, which were skinned and
dressed as we'll as cooked in the kitch-
en-. The family blacksmith kept his
fire there and repaired the plows and
wheels Of the estate. Coal began to be
used as a kitchen fuel in 1916, though
not generally for 200 years after The
oven did not come into use until the
year 400, and then it was the old
fashioned brick oven, which persisted
for hundreds Of years. The stove
when invented, took the place of the
separate oven and the fireplace, with
it's spit, crane and hanging pots

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

You can't satisfy some people. Don't
try.
If you do disastrous thing careless
ly, it is the same thing as If you did it
on purpose.
Some peoples idea of being sincere
Is to say disagreeable things to their
friends faces
f. Some houses always look as though
the occupants were in the midst of a
house cleaning.
If the women were called upon to
vote for the incest man in town, how
many would vote for their husbands?
Never worry about anything that you
can put off until tomorrow. Many of
the worries Of today, if put off until to,
morrow, will take care Of themselves.
A man and his girl can endure a
great many hardships when they are
counting that they don't know are hard
ships until after they are married.

HIS Assassination Was Like tho END.
ing of julius Caesar.
The 25th Of March, 1901, was the day
on which the Emperor Paul Of Russia
was assassinated. Paul had received
some whispers Of the plot against his
life and had arranged to leave st Pc
tersburg the following day and go to
Moscow, where he fancied he might be
safer. On the evening of the 25th he
retired to rest at an early hour that he
might thoroughly rest himself before
commencing his journey. AT IL o'clock
about score Of the conspirators-offi-
GERS holding high rank in the army
appeared at the gate of the palace. 1t
was closed but the officers presented
an order, signed by the emperor him
seif-or, rather, with forged signature
attached-and, informing the sentinel
that they We're called to hold a council
Of war with the car, We're admitted.

Immediately fell, pierced by the swords
Of the conspirators. Paul attempted to
bolt the door, but being unable to do
so seized his sword and turned boldly
on them. What is your design?'' he
demanded of Count Plato Zouboff,
"and what do these men want who are

piled Zouboff. 1.-The nation has provid-

Paul at this raised his sword and

back, with the exception Of a man
named Beningsen, who urged the 9TH

"If you hesitate, you are lost"

''When 1 get to be man." he said,

his only child of consumption. His
child is now in this country, and en-

In the Days Before Sugar.

. Once upon a time, when there was no
such thing as sugar-lovers of lollipops,
only think Of it-bees were Of much
greater value than they are now, for
honey was then the chief if not the
only sweetener, and wax was largely
used in the making Of very fine can
dies for affairs and royal banquets
Some Of the laws Of old Ireland so
green and of little Wales dealt with
the subject of bees, which shows how
important as we'll as Industrious were
these busy insects. Every owner of
bees was required to distribute some of
his honey among his neighbors every
third year. Why? Because his bees
had gathered their honey from the
opening flowers on his neighbor's
lands. There was a nice sense of JUS
tice for you. And some there are that
would like to see it applied all round,
even in the present day.

GAVE ROSTAND HIS START.
Sarah Bernhardt Had Faith In the
Playwrtght's Ability.

P4ayWr1ghts ABILITY.
Edmond Rostand, the great French
playwright, had the usual difficulty in
getting q hearing when first he began
to write for the stage. Sarah Bern
hardt was directly responsible for the
primal achievement Of this successor
Of Victor Hugo Nine Bernhard grew
greatly interested in Rostand's first
play, La Princesse Lointaine," and
suggested that he give public reading
of the manuscript at her theater.
To this reading the actress invited
Coquelin, whose attention was riveted
from the very hrst line and who, walk
ing home with the poet, gave it as his
opinion that his companion was to be-
come the greatest dramatist Of the age
Il bind myself, here and now, to take
any play which you write Gn which
there Is a part for mel without read
ing it," he said, Ito cancel any en-
gagement 1 may have on hand and to
produce your piece with the least pos
sible delay"
Such faith as this proved a veritable
backbone to Rostand, who had lost all
hope Of exciting interest in his work.
A few years later Coquelin produced
"Cyrano," the success of which has
passed into histrionic history. 1t was
gratitude to Nine Bernhardt for her
share in giving him this opportunity
that made Rostand write "L'Aiglon, -
which many critics consider the great
est tragedy Of modern times. Nine.
Bernhard made a fortune from the
play, which she presented not only in
France, but also in England and Amer

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Miles Are Too insignificant to- BE.
Used In Its Computation.

Used In Its Computation.
While it is interesting to know the
distance Of some of the stars in miles,
when stated in that way the numbers
are SO large that they frequently con-
vey very indistinct conceptions to the
mind. For this reason it is customary
to estimate stars distances in eight
years. A light year is the distance
that light, moving at the rate of 1S6, 300
miles per second, travels in one year.
This amounts in round numbers to
5,SS0,000,000,0 miles The distance
Of Alpha Centaur is 4.35 light years,
that of Sirius, the dog star, is almost
exactly twice as great, or SO light
years. In other words, light requires
S.6 years to come to us from Sirius.
And these are among the very nearest
of the stars. Some whose paralla1es
have been rather estimated than meas
ured appeared to be situated at dis
lance which light could not traverse
in less than one or two centuries. The
great star Arcturus, for instance, has,
according to DR.. Elkin, a parallax Of
only teen-thousandths of a second
Its distance must in that case be about
lSl light years, or more than thou
sand million million miles. And if it's
distance is so great, then, since light
varies inversely as the square Of the
distance from it's source, it can be
shown that Arcturus must actually
give forth 5000 OF 5000 times as much
! light as the sun yields.
Yet Arcturus is evidently much near
er than the vast majority of the stars
are. Not one in million is known to
Lave a parallax large enough even to
be intelligently guessed at. There may
be stars whose light requires thousands
instead Of hundreds Of years to cross
the space separating them from us.
We thus see that only a few points
on the nearer SHORES Of the-starry uni
| verse lie within reach Of our measure
ments- here and there jutting head
land, while behind stretches the vast
expanse over which the hundreds Of
millions Of stars known to exist are
