A Photograph Treasure House.

Several months ago the Imperial
Academy of Sciences decided to form
a collection Of phonograph records
which would preserve thu exact sounds
Of languages and dialects for future
generations. Austria-Hungary with
its manifold diyersities of na%tionalties
and races, affords q very favorable
field for such investigation, and the
phonograph archives are already as
Stunning considerable form. From North
Tyrol and Vorarlberg fifty-seven speci-
mems of German dialects have been OBJ
tanned, and another f~orty-seven from
Carinthia. The academy has also car
ried its quest far abroad. From New
Guinea have been sent thirty-two pho
nographS recording the language and
music Of the natives, with especially
interesting war songs and the accom-
panying drum music. From India come
valuable records Of old Sancrit songs.
An expedition which was sent out to
Australia is row on its way back, and
another party is about to start for
Greenland. Many of these records have
been taken on the Edison monograph,
from which they are transferred, by an
apparatus made in the academy, to q
special a~rcllive phonograph. Vienna

Chief Cause OF Divorces.

., 1t is nothing unusual, but on the
contrary quite common, to read of
divorce complaints being filed in our
courts-one day thirteen were re-
ported-and with scarce an eXcep-
ton liquor has more or less to do
as the melting cause. Here is n
of the more recent cases reported:
Emma F. Walden in her petition for
divorce from Chas. F. Walden, al
leges that he is an habitxal drunk
ard. And here is another: Grace l..
Fletcher files suit for divorce from
N. R. Fletcher. alleging habitual
drunkenness. 1t is almost the rule,
without exception that liquor is the
prime cause of these sad, disgrace
full divorce cases. and yet we con-
tinue to permit the places to exist
where drunkenness is fostered. But
for the saloon there would be but
little or no drunkenness, and if the
voters said no, there would be no
saloons. Who is to blame for them?

HOPE FOR BIG EATERS.
Some Famous Old Men Always In
du]Sed in Good Square Meals.

Some FAMOUS Ola MICH HlNdJs liz
dulged in Good Square Meals.
The man with a good appetite has
a hard time nowadays. All the fad
dists are shouting that he eats 100
much. If he doesn't jump at the
chance of fasting forty days he is
snubbed. And if he doesn't joyously
cut out two Of his quondam three
meals a day he is scorned. But once
in a long while he does get a little
comfort. \ writer IN Truth gave him
hope recently by telling about ia
nous old men who had been hearty
eaters. .
There was Victor Hugo, who, in
the very stronghold of French che1s,
kept an Irish cook who herself at
tended her master at table. She had
her reward in the heartiness with
which he ate of her roast and boiled
viands-such as a leg Of mutton I'D
of beef, ham, CANNON OF wiltshire
bacon and greens, a dish one hardly
ever tastes in France.
She and Nine. Drouet, the tactful
friend and secretary Of Victor Hugo
through the greater part of his lit
erary r were agreed in satisfy
ing to the full his fondness for early
spripg vegetables and new potatoes.
AS he insisted on their being passeo
around the table, which was spread
for many disciples, admirers, hans-
ers-on, they must have cos him d
small fortune.
Asparagus. which cost twenty-five
cents and more a stalk, was often
served, Hugo always taking a gener-
ous helping and then calling LOT
more, He arranged the stalks clrcu-
larly on his plate, with the points III
ward like the spokes of a Wheel ana
n,aced the sauce in the middle IN a
round space left vacant for 1t. lnis
ARRANGEMENT was always symmetrl-
cal. He disliked to see a Droken
point, talked while eating, and ate'
one might have thought, enough lol
two or three laborers.
All the cons of Louis Philippe we're
homes fourchettes, and, without pc
ing %tipplers, were fond of the h.gn-
class French vintages. Two OF them

Due de Montpensier lived My 10 tne
age of sixty-six, but his early ueall
has been attributed to his haoit OF
sharing the chocolate made for d
Duchess.
She required half a kilo OF ehoeo-
late for each person at the petlt ee-
ieuner. with toast allowed to cool IN
a toast rack, which she puttereo
thickly herself.
The Princess C%lementine, now tne
only surviving child of Louis Phil
ippe, has all her life been a hearty
eater, without, however, Bourbon eS-
cess. She is now eighty-six. @:s

THE LAST ROUND.

On the morrow l woke up full Of
painful recollections, and not without
a certain feeling Of gratitude to he
Powers above that 1 vas there to
wake up.
Yesterday had been a tempestuous
day indeed. What between buffalo,
rhinoceros and elephant it had been
very tempestuous.
Having realized this fact, l next be-
thought ME Of those magnificent tusks,
and instantly, early as it was, broke
the tenth commandment.
1 coveted my neighbours tusks, if an
elephant could be said to be my neigh
Dor de jure, as certainly, S 0 recently as
the previous night, he had been de
facto-a much closer reighbor than l
cared for indeed.
Now, when you covet your neighbours
goods, the best thing, if not the most
moral thing, to do is to enter his house
as q strong man armeu and take them.
I was not q strong man. but having
recovered my eight-bore, ] was armed,
and so was the other strong man, the
elephant with the tusks.
Consequently 1 prepared for q strug-
gle to the death.
e. In other words, I summoned MY
faithful rctainers and told them that
/ was now going to follow those ele-
plants over the edge Of the world if
necessary.
They showed 4 certain ~bashfulness
about the business, but they did not
gainsay me, because they dared not.
Ever since 1 had prepared with all
due solemnity to execute the rebellious
Gobo, they had conceived a great re-
spect for me.
So 1 went up to bid adieu to the old
headman, whom l found alternately
contemplating the ruins of his kraal
and, with the able assistance Of his
last wife, thrashing the jealous lady
who had slept in the mealie hut, be-
cause she was, as he declared, the
author of all his sorrows.
Leaving them to work a way through,
their domestic differences, l levied q
supply of vegetable food from the kraaI
i'll consideration of services rendered
and left" them with my blessing.
/ do not know how they settled mat
ters, because I have not seen then
since.
Then l started on the spoor of the
three bulls.
For L couple of miles or so below the
kraal, as far, indeed, rs the belt Of
swamp that bordcred the river, thu
ground was at this spot rather stony
and clothed with scattered bushes.

and this fact, together with the nature

Uncle Left Him Sc, 900.

]. R. Miller, a saloonkeeper al
Bristol, Tenn, has fallen heir to ST.;
OOO, 900 by the will Of his uncle IN
Wyoming. Miller left to take charge
of the estate. Before leaving hs
made his partner, w. o. Trenor, q
present of his half interest in theit
saloon, worth $1,000, and gave away
other valuable property to his
friends. Miller's uncle left Bristol
eighteen years ago for Wyoming with

copper mining business and became
Immensely wealthy. .

God Requires Patience.

We ought quietly to suffer what
ever befalls us; to bear the defects
of others or our own; to confess
them to God in secret prayer, or with
groans which cannot be uttered; but
never to speak a sharp or peevish
word; not to murmur or repine, but
be thoroughly willing that God should
treat you in the manner that pleases

If we suffer persecution and afflic-

a larger measure of conformity to

The weekday side of i'll life has
a great deal more to do with our
spiritual life, with the building OF our
character, with out growth in grace.

r. Miller. Some people seem to
imagine that there is no moral or
spiritual quality whatever in LIES
common task-work. On the other
hand, no day can be made beautiful
whose secular side is not as full and
complete as its religious side. 4

Having taken the fence, they thought
that they might as we'll take the huts
also, so they just ran right over them.
One hive-shaped hut vas turned
straight over upon its top, and when
/ arrived on the scene the people who
had been sleeping there were tumbling
about inside like bees disturbed at
night, while two more were crushed
fiat, and a third had all its side torn
out.
Oddly enough, however. nobody was
hurt. though several people had a mar
row escape of being trodden to death.
On arrival 1 found the old headman
in a state painfully like that favored
by Greek art, dancing about in front or
his ruined abodeS as vigorously as
though he had just been stung by a
scorpion.
1 asked him what allied him, and he
burst into 4 food of abuse.
He called me a wizard. a sham, a
fraud, a bringer Of bad luck.
I had promised TO kill the elephants,
and 1 had so arranged things that the
elephants had nearly killed him, etc.
This, still smarting, or rather aching.

was too much for my feelings, so 1 just
made a rush at ny friend and, getting
him by the ear, I banged his head
against the doorway CT his own hut,
which was all there was left of it.
"You wicked old scoundrel" | said.
"You dare to complain about your own
trifing inconvenience, when you gave
me a rotten beam to sit IN, and there
by delivered me to the fury of the ele-
plant" Bump. bump. bump0, when

the log was sound. But what says the

wife, indeed dead?
"Ah, if she is dead, all may yet prove
to have been for the very best!'
And he clasped his hands and looked
up piously to heaven, in which the
moon was once more shining brightly.
I let 60 his ear and burst out laugh
ing, the whole scene and his devout as
pirations for the decease of the partner
of his joys-or, rather, woes-were so
intensely ridiculous.
"No, you old iniQuity,' I answered.

".Alas! alas" he said. Surely the

Doubtless, my father, she will come
down when she is tired"
And without troubling himself fur
Their about the matter he began to blow
ut the s%moldering embers Of the fire.
And, rs a matter of fact, she did ap-
pear a few minutes later, considerably

worse.
After that I made my way to my lit

plants had not walked over, and,
wrapping myself up in q blanket, was
soon fast asleep.

Refused To Preach.

When Rev. C. NJ. Sheldon, of To-
peka, arrived at the Portland Lewis
and Clark Exposition to keep an en-
gagement with the management, he
found that the amusement features
of the fair we're open on Sunday.
Having consented to speak on the
understanding that such was not the

found that he had been misled. He
was, however, heard in two of the
city churches.
