Bi.marck,. Mystic Number.

Bismarck, writes correspondent In
reference to our paragraph on super
stition, held, with Pythagoras, that not
13, but 3, was the great and perfect
number. Bismarck's associations with
3 were remarkable. He had served
three masters. He had three names
Bismarck, Schoenhausen and Lauen-
burg. The arms of his family are a
clover leaf and three oak leaves. He
was concerned in three wars and sign
ed three treaties of peace. In the
Franco Prussian war he had three
horses killed under him. He brought
about the meeting of three emperors
and was responsible for the triple al
lance. He had three children. His
family motto was I'm Trinitate Robur''
C"Strength In Trinity'), and contem-
porary caricature pictured him with
three hairs on his head. Three was the
beginning, the middle and the end of

An Audacfous Fool,

The function of the kings fool In
medieval times was In measure an
important one, and he who filed the
post had often very great influence
with his sovereign. Perhaps the bright
est and most astute of fools was Tri-
boulet the favorite jester of Francis l.
It was reported that his majesty. who
was OF a very generous nature, had
acceded to request Of Charles w.,
emperor Of Germany, that he might
pass through France on his way from
Spain to the Netherlands. Putting
aside all recollection Of what he had
suffered at the emperor's hands while
captive In Spain. Francis was pre-.
pairing to receive Charles with much
ceremony and spiendor. Observing one
morning that Triboulet was scribbling
industriously upon bit Of paper,
Francis inquired what he was doing.

peror Charles Of Germany to my list Of

Daniel Webster once became the
owner OF some land In New Hamp-
shire, with buildings thereon. He left
the tenant who was there when the
premises were conveyed to him In pos
session, One summer few years later
as he and hls wife were journeying in
the vicinity Of the farm they decided
to take a look at It. He found an aged
woman IN charge. She said In reply ia
questions that the place belonged to a
lawyer down In Boston named Web
ster.
what rent do you pay?' asked the
amused owner.
"Rent!'' she exclaimed: II don't pay
any rent. 1t is bad enough to live
here without having to pay for 1t, and
II he don't fix up the house soon I'll
leave anyhow. Wonder If he expects
I'm going to freeze to death this cold
weather."

leave of his farm. Boston Herald. "

Broke the Spell.

Up to the time of Grover Cleveland's
election it was popular superstition
with politicians that no candidate
whose name began with the letter G
could be elected to the presidency. The
idea arose from the fact that no man
whose surname presented this peculiar
ity, no matter how strong he was with
the people, had ever been successful
at the polls. There were two Clintons,
George and De Witt; William II. Craw-
ford, Henry Clay, Lewis Cass and a
number Of others, who, though their
prospects seemed bright indeed, met
with defeat when it came to the test.
Several of the C's, George Clinton and
Henry Clay, for instance, were strong
candidates several times, but never
could make the rifle"

How They Save Light. In stornowa,

How They Save Lights In stornovvay.
On sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse Is a re-
markable beacon which warns mari
ners with the help of light which Is
only apparent. The beacon is a cone
Of cast iron plates, surmounted with a
lantern containing glass prism. The
prism derives its light from refracting
the rays emitted from the lighthouse,
and the optical delusion Is marvellous.
Mariners naturally suppose that there
is a lighted lamp on the beacon itself,
and many Of them will not believe 9TH
erwise. But the object Of the beacon
Is attained when the navigator sees the
reflected light, which indicates the per-
ilous rock below. This beacon In the
north of Scotland has been In use
more than half century, and since it
was fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods to make
clear points Of danger. It Is an in
genious and very effective safeguard
against perils Of the coast.

An Organized Holdup

An English Christmas isn't saen-
gerfest; it's beggingfest. The band
plays, but it plays with one hand
while the other is out for coin. The
boys and men sing Christmas hymns
and then take a collection, and the
moon may be shining, but you can't
see it through the fog. Some of the
railway stations are decorated, and
you've scarcely had time to remark
that you think it's very beautiful
custom when an itching palm appears
between you and the holly. The post
man says, "Merry Christmas" and
waits for you to be generous, and the
lamplighter and the paper boy and the
man who delivers groceries and the
boy from the cake shop. Porters follow
you wherever you 60, and servants
whom you never saw before bob up in
numbers. And out in the street when
ever you hear any one say merry
Christmas" you mechanically put your
hand in your pocket It isn't Christ
mas; it's an organized holdup.-Bohe-
mian. H.. =-.se

The Marvel of Distance.

The distance to the nearest fixed star
Is SO tremendous that, like many of the
facts of astronomy, it Is beyond the
grasp of the human Imagination,
though not beyond the reach Of math-
ematical demonstration. Light, which
travels at speed Of 10000 miles in a
single second of time, takes over four
years to reach us from the nearest
star. The thread spun by spider is so
excessively fine that a pound of it
would be long enough to reach around
the earth. 1t would take ten pounds of
it to reach to the moon and over 5000
pounds to stretch to the sun. But to
get thread long enough to reach the
nearest star would require half mil
lion tons. If a railroad could be built
to this star and the fare fixed at a cent
a mile the total cost Of the journey
would be $250O00, 100000, or more than
sixty times the whole amount of coined
gold in the world.

The youngest bride who was ever
led to the altar in England, SO far as
we can discover, was little Catherine
Apsley. who had only seen four sum-

drst Earl Bathurst, who was exactly
double her age. The tiny ring worn
by Catherine on this occasion, over
two centuries ago, is still preserved.
