Tie Story Of n nrooE

10 lovers of outdoors there are few
things in the wide world which are
more enchanting. more altogether de-
lighting, than just such brook, whose
course-whose life, SO to speak-I have
been trying TO bring to the mind of
those who know all its turns and
whlms and caprices in summer and in
winter. in spring and in autumn when
much rain had mnddened it and when
none hnd caused it TO shrink into a
warped thing of nature without form
aud void. We may be hundreds of
miles from the bronx which we know
best, BIT we know it is flowing lust as
it used to do, and there is ever the
thought that il we cannot see it in its
daiiy moods there are others who may
do so. And, no matter the name of the
peaceful valley through which it flow
cd or where that valley may be, IL
was the brook of our childhood, and
there is Il brook, or ought to be, away
back somewhere in the mind of every
one whose heart and memory take him
back TO the scenes where at least some
younger days We're speut.-Outdoors.

Few cigar smokers are aware that
all cigars are named according to their
color and shape. A dead black cigar,
for instance, is an "Oscuro," very
dark brown one is COLORADO Madu-
ro," dark brown is a Colorado" u
medium brown is Il Colorado Claro,"
and u yellowish light brown is a
"Claro." Most smokers know the names
Of the shades from "Cluro" to "Colora-
do and that is as far as most of them
need to know. AS to the shapes, a ma
poleon," the biggest of all cigars, is
seven inches long; "Perfecto' swells
in the middle and tapers down to n
very small head at the lighting end; Il
"Panatela" is Il thin, straight up and
down cigar without the graceful curve
of the "Perfecto;" "Conchas" is very
short and fat, and 'I.ondres' is shap-
ed like "Perfecto." except that 1t
does not taper to so small head at
the lighting end. A "Reina Victoria" is
a "Londres" that comes packed in a
ribbon tied bundle of fifty pieces in
ste d of in the usual four layers of
til, teen, twelve, thirteen and twelve.

A story of False imprisonment.

One of the strangest of stories Of
false Imprisonment comes from France.
A woman was sentenced to imprison-
ment for life for having caused the
death Of her husband and brother. The
three had lived together at Malaunay,
near Rouen, in cottage, the lower
part of which was used as wine
shop. When the woman was sent to
prison other people took the wine shop,
but the new tenants suffered, the man
from fainting fits, his wife from nau-
sea, from which she died. Another
couple tried their fortune, but they,
too, We're overcome by the "spell of the
accursed place." as they thought it.
They were subject to fainting and loss
Of memory. At last scientific exam
ination of the premises was made.
Then 1t was found that adjoining the
inn was a lime kiln. In the wall divid-
ing 1t from the cottage were many fis-
sures. so that whenever lime was burnt
lncnoNiGe Of carbon escaped into the
iEn. This was the secret of the deaths
for which the woman was suffering.
Sic was brought out of prison after
six years CT servitude.

nothing grim at all about it, for it is
commanded by a sleepy Malay con-
stable pcrchcd on the box; its roof and
sides are formed of white canvas, and
it has no door to close ut the back, but
merely an opening in which another
Malay constable half slumbers. Two
or three other constables ride inside sit

When Folks Eearea Gn..

In the early days of the last century,
when Illuminating gas was first used in
London, timorous people talked of the
dangers Of suifocation and of explo-
slons to which the gas, which was still
imperfectly purified, exposed the citi-
zens. Scientists confirmed these asser-
tons, and the first gasometers erected
in London by Samuel Clcgg SO terrified
the people that no workman would ven
ture to light the gas jets which had
been placed on Westminster bridge.
But Clegg soon oyercame this difficulty
by lighting a torch and applying 1t to
the burners with his own hands. On
another occasion before committee of
the Royal society of London he bored
a hole in the gas holder and put light
ed candle to it, to the great alarm of
the spectators. but without causing the
slightest accident. Gradually the eyes
even of the most prejudiced were open
ed to the truth.
