The Marquis of Waterford once
showed remarkable detective skill.
A robber who had broken into the
marquis house at Curraghmore, Ire
land, was pursued by him and fol-
lowed to a public house four miles
off.
There the robber had seated him
self among number of men, who
were drinking and smoking, and not
one of them would betray him. The
marquis, however, was master of the
situation.
He insisted upon feeling all their
hearts, and as he was their landlord
and the great man of the county not
one dared to refuse. The man whose
heart was still beating quickly was
the robber who had just ceased run

biographer concerning Father Hea-
y, probably the cleverest Irish wit
Of modern times:

prominent nouyeau richie neighbor,
who took him to see his gorgeous
and seldom used library.

the statement that from present in.
dications the annual appropriation
for the navy alone will soon very
largely exceed the total amount
now spent for education in the
United States. "Until recently the
combined military and naval ex-
penses of the country were less than
one-fourth of those of education.
We are, therefore, progressing four
times as fast in the arts of war as
in those of peace"

ARCHITECTURE.
Its Origin Was In the Primitive Abodss
Of Early Tribes.

Re Origin Was In the Primitive Abodsa
Of Early Tribes.
The primitive abodes OF early
tribes have left their impress upon
the architecture of more cultured
times, for various features Ct the
most elaborate buildings are pre-
saged in the rudest structures. The
dome is seen in mound dwellings
and in the Eskino's snow hut, slop-
ing roofs, in tent flies, many STORED
masonry, in the elevated chambers
of cliff dwellers, pillars in, natural
rock supports in caves, towers in
treetop lookouts, spires in tent
poles.
An arbor formed by INTERVIEWING
the branches of adjacent trees would
in time be elaborated by the addi-
ton of branches severed from other
trees and of stakes to help support
this augmented roof. Thus would
be developed eventually inclosed
huts with roofs of thatch, and these
by gradual stages would give place
to cabins and framed houses.
Similarly wigwam develops into
tent, and this by the substitution
of more substantial material be-
comes a permanent building.
Cave jewellers naturally enlarge OF
multiply their abodes by excavating
chambers in the mountains. This
leads to the use of piers or pillars as
need requires to support the roof,
and masonry is logical sequence.
From an unhewn stone, set up to
mark burial place OF to commem-
crate some event, polished monu-
ment is gradually evolved, and a
modification of mere stone heap,
or cairn, results in a pyramid OF
other symmetrical tomb.
A tree trunk fallen across q
stream or stepping stones through it
were the forerunners of modern
bridge architecture.
Verify acorns contain oak trees
