Taciturn Carlyle.

1t is not recorded that William the
Silent was contemplating his chances
of heaven when he won that title,
though Thomas Carlyle, to whom some
writer applies the paradoxicaI phrase
''the roaring apostle Of taciturnity,"
might be accused of wanting to go
where there are no women. The same
writer once rode with Carlyle in a
Chelsea omnibus and endeavored in
vain with questions to induce the great
man to break his golden silence and
coin d few sentences of silver speech.
Carlyle preserved a moody silence. But
the defeated questioner had his re-
venge when, affecting not to know Mr..
Carlyle, he asked the conductor as they
got out who the gentleman was and re-
ceived the following reply:
"Oh, yes, sir; L know him well
enough. 'E's wot you call littery gent
writes books wot nobody can under.

many of those gents, but he amt bad

Alcfbiades.

The brilliant, witty and dissolute Alci-
blades had one of the most extensive
experiences in exile that ever fell to
the lot of man. While in command of
the Sicilian army he was recalled to
stand trial for the destruction of the
busts of Hermes, an outrage that had
taken place just before his departure.
knowing that his death had been de-
termined OH, he escaped to Sparta,
where, by adopting the manners of the
people, in strange contrast to his for
mer style of luxury, he became i'm
mensely popular. He engaged in mill
tary operations against the Athenians
and succeeded so well as to excite the
envy of the Spartan leaders, who ex-
PEELED him, whereupon he went to
Persia and lived there with a mag
nificence that astonished the Persians
thell. selves. He was recalled to Athens
with the same capriciousness that
marked his ostracism and was appoint
ed commander in chief Of all the
Athenian forces, but, failing In an i'm
portant expedition, he was again sen
into exile and was finally assassinate(
in Persia.

CONCERNING DREAMS.
Often Indicate n Serious IIIness-The
Blind See In Dreams.

Harvey, who discovered the circula-
tiOn of the blood, is said to have re-
corded dream in which bumblebee
stung him in his left thigh, on a place
where couple of days later appeared
an ugly ulcer Malesherbe, the re-
nowned French author, found himself
in dream attacked by rowdy, who
stabbed him in his left breast with a
dagger in an area where the following
evening he felt the first attack of Sc
we're pneumonia. 1.-The archives OF
medical reports" says DR.. Axel Emil
Gibson, "are heavy with cases of a
similar character, which have either
received no explanation at all or else
have been explained away entirely"
Dr. Gibson calls attention to the fact
| that dreams depend on some other
media than those known as the five
senses. A conclusive evidence in ia
vor of this view is found in the cir
cumstances that even the blind are
able to see in dreams, as witness ex-
periences recorded by Helen Keller,
Blind Tom,' the poet Milton and 9TH

unavoidable that it is only as far as
physical vision is concerned that the
optic nerve guides and limits the field
of vision.
This same author arrives at the de
duction that dreaming and waking diff
fer in degree and form of manifesto
ton only. not in principle and essence
Like waking consciousness" he AYERS
"the dream reveals, but does not ere

First Use of Potatoes In Ireland.

In the garden adjoining his house at
Youghal Raleigh planted the first po-
tatoes ever grown in Ireland. The veg
etable was brought to him from the
little colony which he endeavored to
establish in Virginia. The colonists
started In April, 1886, and Thomas
Harriet, one of their number, wrote q
description of the country in 1887. He
describes a root which must have
been the potato:
"Openank are a kind of roots Of
round form, some of the bignesse Of
walnuts, some farre greater, which are
found in moist & marish grounds grow
ing many together one by another in
ropes, as though they were fastened
with string. Being boiled they are
very good meat"
The Spaniards first brought potatoes
to Europe, but Raleigh was undoubted
ly the first to introduce the plant into
Ireland.

Wns Just a Dream.

"Some old fellow over at Fort Sill
who has been in this section of the
country for a good many years once
dreamed that there was an Indian
massacre ON the summit of Signal
mountain. He afterward began to tell
that dream, and at length told the sto-
ry for the truth. That dream has gone
down in history as an actual fact.
There never was a massacre on this
mountain, nor even a battle of any
sort. In early days, after the establish
ment of Fort Sill, the soldiers had a
signal station there, built the house
that is now crumbling in ruins and
possibly observed the maneuvers of
many Comanches." ."--Lawton News

Description of One Given by Keno
phon's Army of Greeks.
In his "Anabasis'' Xenophon describes
an entertainment given by his army OF
Greeks on the shores of the Black sea
during the retreat from Persia after
the battle of Cunaxa, about twenty
three centuries ago. 1.-TWO Thracians
first rose up" says the soldier histo
rian, "and danced with their arms tc
the sound of a flute. They capered
very high and with great agility, then
made use of their swords. At last one
of them struck the other in such a
manner that every one thought he had
killed him, but the stroke was given
with art. The other, having despoiled
him of his arms, went out singing
song of triumph. Then other Thracians
carried off the man as if he had been
dead, though indeed he was not hurt
After this some 4Enians and Magne-
slams rose up and danced in their arms
what they called the carpaean dance,
the manner of which is as follows: One
of them, having laid down his arms,
sows and drives a yoke of oxen, look
ing often behind him, as if he were
afraid Then a robber approaches,
whom the other perceiving, he catches
up his arms and, advancing, fights with
him in defense of his oxen. All this
these men performed in time to the
flute At last the robber binds the
plowman and carries him off with the
oxen. Sometimes the plowman over
comes the robber and, fastening him
to the oxen, ties his hands behind him
and so drives him away.
After this Mysus entered with {
buckler in each hand and danced some
times as if he had been engaged will
two adverSaries, then used his buckleri
as if engaged with only one. Some
times he whirled round, then threw
himself head foremost and fell on hi
feet without parting with his bucklers
| This made q fine sight. Last of all b.
danced the Persian dance, striking hi
| bucklers against each other and il
dancing fell on his knees, then spruni
up again, and in all this he kept tim
| to the flute. He was succeeded b,
some Mantineans and other Arcadians
who, being dressed in the handsomes
armor they could provide, rose up an
advanced in time to a flute that playe
martial air. They sung the paea
and danced in the same manner that
practiced in solemn professions.
ION this one of the Arcadians lie
forth a woman dancer, dressed hanC
somely and carrying a light buckle
She danced the Pyrrhic dance wit
great ability, on which there was gres
applause. That caused the Paphlag
ians who were present to ask whetht
the woman also charged with IL
troops. Then the Greeks said that

Kindness to Apache Child Prevented

A doll once averted a war with red

their own territory, from which they
had persisted in breaking out, but
could not catch them without killing
them, and that he did not wish to do.
His men captured a little Indian girl
and took her to the fort. She was
quiet all day, but her beady black eyes
watched everything. When night came,

from an officers wife, which had be-

fell asleep.

clasped in her arms. Eventually the
little Apache girl, with her doll, was

DIFFICULT MATTER TO GET
NEWSPAPER IN OTLANO
TRAVELLER DESCRIBES HIS EXPERIENCE
IN TRYING TO GET A MORNING PAPER.
Unlike the American DaIies their Papers do
Not Cater to General Public But Published
for the Benefit of Their Subscribers.

The American custom of glancing
over the morning paper as you sip your
coffee at breakfast goes with you
abroad, but it is no simple thing al
ways to get morning paper. On COM
ing down to breakfast the first morning
In Edinburgh, 1 found there was no
paper to be had, but, thinking it was a
simple matter to buy a Scotsman on
the street, went out on Princes street
and walked three blocks without the
sight of a newsboy. Where can 1 get
the morning Scotsman" 1 said to
policeman. He thought for a moment.
"Weel," said he, there's great news
shop aboot three blocks up, and ye
might find one there" 1 followed the
direction and found myself in a large
news distributing depot. There were
stacks and stacks of newspapers and
magazines all about. II would like the
mornings Scotsman" 1 said. The man
in charge looked bewildered. "I'll see,"
he said, ''if we have one." He fumbled
around a little while, and then went
back into the rear of the store for fully
three minutes. At last he came back,
saying, I'VE haven't one" "Well,"
said, this is about the strangest thing
have seen. Can't get the morning pa
per here in Edinburgh" "No," he said,
''ye'll find it diffeecult." what do
they publish papers here for, anyway
l rejoined do they want to keep
them out of the hands Of the people? i?
Don't they want people to read them
Do they print papers to keep the news
secret?' He bridled at once. II want
We to understand" he said, that the
Scotsman is not published for the
general publeek; it's published for the
subscribers"
The Scotsman, you know, probably
ranks next to the London Times
"Well," l said, this is all new to me
In my country publishers want to have
their newspapers read. They want tC
sell all they can. They don't try tc
keep them out of the hands Of the gen
eral publeek.' Can you tell me where
1 can get one, for 1 want TO see the
morning paper, though perhaps shall
have to get letter of Introduction t.
buy one?" "Weel," he answered
there's a woman about a hundred
yards from here that takes the Scots
man. She might sell you hers" tool

FORGING ANTIQUITIES.
Even Experts Tricked In Distin-
gushing Real From the Spurious.

gushing heal FROM tne spurious
Dr. Oliver Tonks in the Outlook Mag
azine shows the difficulties of distin-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here is one of his anecdotes:
At times the forger is content to take
ancient fragments of ancient vases or
Itatuettes and complete them with clay
Or plaster of paris. These new "old"
wares he then paints up and passes to
the unsuspecting, and sometimes sus-
pecting, purchaser as real antiques.
The story is told of a forger in Athens
that he protested that when he had fin
ished improving an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances It
may not be wondered that at times
even experts are tricked.
The following incident shows how
forgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: One hot day party of us were
toiling up steep ascent in the island
| of Melos when we saw above us a
number of Greeks seated ON parapet
of ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the Egean islands to
know that these people of the place had
seen our ship drop anchor in the water
below and were now waiting to sell us
antiquities. At the sight of these
Greeks one of our number, a tireless
Scotchwoman, scrambled ahead of us
to the top, where we could soon see
her, wind blown and outlined agains
the blue sky, bargaining for a vase
when we reached the top after more
leisurely climb she put her purchase il
my hands ard asked me what though
of it. My bands were moist with per
spiration from the exertion of the climb
and for answer to her question hell
them out to her all blackened iron
grasping the vase. The sweat had al
tackled the modern paint with which
was covered, and by thus coming OF
ON my hands the color had betrayed it
falsity. The whole vase had bee
patched up from six or seven piece
!. and then painted over to conceal th

Do the Next Thing.

Don't live a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it and going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work. play,
study, whatever 1t is, take hold at once
and finish it up squarely. Then do the
next thing without letting any moments
drop in between. 1t is wonderful to see
how many hours these prompt people
contrive to make of a day. 1t is as If
they picked up the moment you daw-
dlers lost. And if you ever find yourself
where you have so many things press
ing upon you that you hardly know
where to begin l., me tell you Sc
cret: Take hold of the very one that
comes to hand, and you will find the
rest will fall into line and follow after
like company of well drilled soldiers.

BUSINESS SENSE.

All things come to him who doesn't
wait, but hustles.
Too many clerks and not enough
salesmen-that is the cry.
The sheriff is always making googoo
eyes at the store that doesn't advertise.
Resolve not to worry so much about
your competitor. Take the lead for a
change.
Many succeed because they advertise
correctly and ever so many fail because
they don't.
If you never do more than you are
paid for, you will never get paid fol
Hnore than you do.
If you have no confidence in your EN-
ployer, for heavens sake be honest and
go in and tell him so. Draw your pay
and quit.-Brains.
