seem able to stand 1t, but personally
I'm SO muddled | don't know whether

Il suppose circumstances also make

The best man felt his color rise. He
could not see the girls face distinctly,
but he knew the miSchIevous look that
cleaned in her eyes OF course it was
no secret that Elsa and he had been

without keenness

And the way l feel about Ralph"
she gasped.
In the silence they could hear the
talk and laughter Of the wedding

An Odd Record,

The late Miss Julia Moore, Sir John
Moore's niece. like many very old pee
pie, was extremely proud of her age
and lost no opportunity of showing it.
When she was asked by friend If she
was going to see the coronation of
King Edward VII. she answered. mo.
| have been ont of London for the last
three coronations, and / don't care t.

one must feel nj being able to say Il
thing like that:

Spiders.

Spiders are not insects, as most peo-
pie think. The spider has eight legs,
whereas an insect cannot have more
than six. The nervous system is con
structed on totally different basis,
and so are the circulation and respira-
ton. The eyes are different the in
sects having many compound eyes and
the spider never having more than
eight and all Of them simple Then a
spider has no separate head, the head
and the thorax being fused together.

OPEN AIR STATE JAIL.
Primitive Place of Confinement In
EonteneGT0.

The open air state Jail Of Cettinje,
Montenegro. is unique in Europe. This
primitive place Of confinement is sit
uated in the principal public square OF
the Montenegrin capital. Persons
guilty of such miuor oifenscs az as
sault or petty thefts are sentenced to
Imprisonment in the open air Jail The
prisoners are allowed to roam about
the square at will, the mere fact that
they have been deprived of their weap-
ons being considered appropriate pun
ishment At night the prisoners are
removed to room in the town hall,
where they have far more comfortable
quarters than they would have at
home The thought of escaping from
their open air Jail seldom occurs tC
them, and even if 1t did there is no
place where they could find refuge. The
Montenegrins are, above all, men Of
honor, and were q prisoner to escape
the population of Cettinje would soon
be at the heels of the fugitive guilty Of
having broken his promise not to at
tempt to escape.-New York Tribune.

WORDS OF PRAISE.
Irving Regarded as the Greatest Ac
tor of the Ace.

London, Oct. 1.-THE news of the
death of Sir Henry Irving was received
too late TO permit of more than brief
announcements in this mornings lead
ing newspapers.
The Dailv Telegraph and the Morn
ing Post, however. print lengthy me-
m0irs, speaking of him as the greatest
actor of his period. The Morning Post
says:
No stronger personality. no more IN
tagging activity has within long MEM
Org adorned the English stage. His
death is a national loss and his memo
ry national possession. Had he gone
10 the bar he would have reached the
bench If into the church, he would
surely have become a bishop. He chose
the stage, and was easily the foremost
actor of his time"
The Times says:
Henry Irving was "a great actor but
his greatness sprung from a different
source than that of any other actor
who can be mentioned. The success of
his famous predecessors lay in their
power TO affect the emotions of the au-
dience through the strength of their
own emotions. Irving was not an emo
