SEVEN CENTURIES TOO LATE.

While they were detaching mo-
safes inside the Cathedral Of st.
Mark in Venice the other day, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the
workmen found imbedded in the
cement rare coin of the time of
the doge Enrico Dandolo, who died
in 1908. The supposition is that
the coin dropped in the cement
from the clothing Of the mason at
work on the job centuries ago. If
this is true the unfortunate man
probably never knew what became
of it, He may have supposed it was
omitted from his pay envelope, or
that the chap on the job next to
him pinched it from his jacket
pocket when he was emptying his
dinner pail, or that Nicolo COCOA,
the wine vender at the far end of
the Bridge of Signs, had worked the
change racket on him. All of which
seems a pity. And when we con-
slider how he may have gone home
and handed his salary to his wife,
how she looked it over and harshly
remarked that he was short an
Enrico Dandolo, and then accused
him of leading double life, why,
it all seems very painful and very
unjust. But it's too late to do any
thing about it now-seven centuries
too late.

A LION STORY.
Tragic Experience With One Of the
African Man Eaters.

'Many years ago." says a writer,
"before the arrival of the railway
and the sportsman in east Africa,
the natives we're decimated by lions.
1t was impossible in some districts
to procure mail carriers. Appalling
stories are still related of the fear
less ferocity of these beasts. The
railway was building at Kin. Several
coolies had been carried off by an
old lion, and one night Ryall, an
English engineer who had seen
much service in India, decided to sit
up in a railway carriage on the
chance of getting a shot. With him
were Mr.. Huebner, the German con-
sui, and an Italian, PARENT. The
night was dark, with but little
moon, and after midnight Ryall
commented upon the brightness Of
the frefies near the carriage and
also remarked that he had seen a
rat repeatedly cross and recross a
spot where the steel rail glinted in
the moonlight.
"But the supposed firefies were
the luminous eyes of the lion they
waited for, and the rat was the slow
movement of his tail. If Ryall had
recognized this, his life would have
been saved. Tired of their vigil to-
ward the morning, the three watch
ers went to sleep, Huebner on the
upper berth, the two others below.

elcls, With a lavatory beyond the
couches. An hour had passed, the
party was asleep, when the hon
jumped into the carriage and seized
Ryall, while in a moment PARENT
had slipped into the lavatory and
closed the door.
"The movements of the lion, or
more probably, his weight thrown
on one side, caused the door by
which he had entered the car to
close. Thus Huebner's experience
was most terrible. The rifles were be-
low, and on the upper berth he re-

all within three feet of him. After
a few awful minutes the great beast

Compulsory Archery.

Archery was once a compulsory
exercise in every English parish aft
er Sunday church. at is a worthy
game" preached Bishop Latimer, "a
wholesome kind of exercise and
much commended in phySic," A
fine of a halfpenny for abstaining
from archery practice on Sunday
was enforced in Edward Ills reign,
and Henry wills crack regiment,
the yeomen of the guard, was COM
posed entirely Of bowmen. Archery
fourished some time after the intro
duction of the hand gun, though
this had been used in England as
early as 1471. This developed, in
James rs time, into the caliver, so
called from the English misconcep-
ton of an order to supply English
soldiers with guns of the same "cali-
Der" as the French pattern, and the
longbow was finally abandoned in

the newcomer thoughtlessly let fall
one Of his shoes, then, recalling the
warning he had received, placed the
other very carefully on the floor. He
had put out the light and retired
when there was a knock on his door.
Opening it, he faced the nervous oc-
cupant of the adjoining room, who
demanded excitedly:
"Why in thunder don't you take

To Avoid Getting stuns.

A beekeeper Of New Hampshire
was showing a city man his apiary.
The hives were ranged in line on
the side of a mountain and the air
was sweet with the smell Of clover,
pine trees, carnations.
A bee lit on the keepers hand
angrily, and the man held his
breath.
'Bees can't sting you if you hold
your BREATH" he said afterward.
ITO hold the breath closes the pores
Of the skin, or something like that.
At any rate, if a bee goes for you

CHINA AND GLASSWARE.
When Broken, Don't Be Too Hasty In
Throwing II Away.

iUEoWlUD " AWAY
Because glassware, china and brio
a-brac get broken is no reason for
throwing them away, for unless some
of the pieces are lost they can be
patched and glued together and
made to look like new, if one is
careful to fit the edges closely to-
gether. They should be practical
for use, too, if water or liquid are
not left standing in them.
Clear glass is the most difficult of
these to mend because it must be
done so expertly to prevent the
crack from showing.
The best kind of glue for clear
glass is made from a solution Of
two ounces of isinglass and half a
pint of gin poured into an open
mouthed bottle and set in the sun
until it dissolves. 1t should be
shaken we'll every day and before
being used should be strained
through clean lawn cloth.
When ready for the gluing the
broken glass pieces should be well
washed in hot suds, especially on
the edges, dried, and then with q
small camePs hair brush the cement
should be put on the edges Of both
pieces and when they are nicely fit
ted together rubber bands or clean
strips of cloth should be bandGged
tightly around them to hold the
edges well together until the glue
dries.
If the cement has been properly
made the break should really not be
visible when dry, for the reason
many cracks look jagged when
mended Is because the edges have
not been well joined and, bubbles
Of air getting in, reflect the light,
making the ragged, broken lines
glaringly apparent.
Bric-a-brac that is part metal and
glass should not be so difficult to
fix over, particularly where the two
materials meet, for often a paste Of
sitted plaster of paris mixed with
the beaten white Of an egg will
make them as strong and good as
new. This work must be done quick
ly, for within five minutes after
putting it on the pieces it hardens
and holds the metal and glass or
china tightly together.
Two metal pieces should be
mended with solder. To do this the
edges should first be carefully dust
ed, washed if they are very dirty
and rosin brushed over them. Then
when fitted well together and tied
in place a stick of solder should be
laid above the break and hot iron
brought down lightly on it. When
the solder cools the melted rosin
may be removed with cloth dipped
in alcohol.
