A City on the Cliffs.

Precisely why the town OF Bonifacio.
in Corsica, is built to the sheer c;ige
Of the cliff which forms the sea front
age Of that part of the island is L ques-
ton always asked by the traveller who
views Bonifacio for the first time, and
he reiterates his question when be OBJ
serves, upon visiting the environs OF
the place, that there is plenty Of room
for the town to have spread out in an
inland direction. The early Corsicans
apparently thought that farm land was
worth more than city real estate and
50 crowded their dwellings to the dizzy
edge of their 200 foot precipice. Ones
first impression is that these houses,
with their walls on a vertical plane
with the cliff, were purposely so situ-
ated that the body Of victim Of
dark vendetta murder might be con-
veniently dropped out Of the window
into the sea beneath, with no one the
wiser. Certainly there is suggestion
Of romance and mystery in the aspect
Of the town 1t forms, at amy rate, one
Of the oldest sky lines in the world.

AN ODD DUEL.
1t Introduced Frenchmnn to the
Possibilities of Baseball.


A Frenchman challenged an Amer
ican to fight. The American, husky
six footer from Yale. who had pitched
on the baseball team and stroked the
crew, was loath to accept and took the
matter as something Of joke. The
count pressed his desire for satisfac-
ton, and at last the son Of old Eli con-
sented to meet him, stipulating that he
saould choose his own weapons. Sec
ouds were agreed upon, and the mode
OF combat chosen by the American was
baseballs at twenty PAGES. 1t was
dangerously close range for man who
spent three years twirling inshoots
and outdrops over q twelve inch plate
and likely to be q pretty accurate shot
with a baseball. but the Frenchman
was game, and they met on the out
skirts Of the city at daybreak.
Each was to have three shots, and
the count won the toss and thereby the
privilege Of leading off. Perhaps he
had never seen q baseball before. and,
at any rate, the man from Yale had no
difficulty In lodging the adamantine
spheres which the son of Belle France
sent scaling In his direction.
Then the American opened fire. The
first ball grazed the Frenchnans
shoulder, the second lodged in the pit
of his stomach and the third, an in
shoot, caught him full on the point OF
the chin. BE went down and out and
never challenged another American cit
iZen.

Treatment accorded to prisoners Of
war in the early part Of the nineteenth
century would not be endured for q
moment in the twentieth century," says
an English writer. ITO say that we
starved our captives is untrue; that we
stinted them Of necessaries IS fact.
French prisoners were kept In. durance
on board huiks at Portsmouth and
Bishops Waltham. Cases are on rec
ord Of the dogs Of British officers pay
ing a call on board being decoyed be-
low, where hey were killed and con-
verted into outlets, while the masters
were chatting on the deck. Rats in
the hold were fshed for with hooks
baited with ration beef and, when
caught and cooked, were eagerly de-
voured. The French prisoners to kill
monotony gambled. The counters were
rations. One man at Portchester lost
his rations for eight days running and
died Of starvation"

The WILD CARROT.
One OF the Most Interesting Of Our
Native Plants.

Native Plants.
A weed has been defined as "a plant
that persists in growing where it is not
desired" Surely the wild carrot is
most weedy weed from the point OF
view Of that definition and of the dis
Ike Of the farmer. AS to the per-
sistence, our veteran farmer-naturalist
John Burroughs tells US: "Cut off the
head of the wild carrot, and in q week
there are FIVE heads in room Of the
one. Cut off these, and by fall there
are ten looking defiance at you from
the same root
The only fault Of the wild carrot,
as Of other so called weeds, IS too great
success in life. 1t Is guilty only Of
persistence. But from a nature lovers
point of view there are, strictly speak
ing, no weeds. No plant is dlsllked.
On the contrary, the more a plant is
able to strive successfully for life the
more Of interest it is. We can also
see and appreciate the beauty without
the "weedy" dislike.
If in this spirit observers will ex-
anime the wild carrot the verdict will
be that it is one Of the prettiest and
most interesting Of our native plants.
The beauty is especially noticeable in
the full bloom, or Queen Anne's lace,
form. Perhaps some may regard the
birds nest form as the most interest
ing.-Exchange

RUNNING EXERCISE.
Said to Be the Best Means OF Making
the Heart Strong.

Said to Be the Best Means OF Making
the Heart Strong.
The kind of exercise one should take
for his hearts sake is extremely i'm
portant Exercise, to affect the heart
sufficiently, must be vigorous, though
not too vigorous. Ordinary walking,
while healthful, falls short Of this re-
quirement. That calisthenics and light
exercises generally are also deficient
In this respect is proved BY the fact
that, while all humankind naturally irl-
dulge in light exercises, yet heart all
ments are prevalent among them.
Every one that Is not bedridden walks
more or less, and I have read learned
articles which Try to prove that walk
ing is the only exercise man requires.
But il man never runs he could not,
II he would, run fairly fast even half
a mile. So the argument is In effect
that a man need not be able to run.
l cannot agree with this conclusion.
for walking at moderate pace affects
heart action only slightly.
Running, Of. all exercises for the
heart, is, I think. the best. OF course
one who has a weak heart cannot i'm
mediately run either fast or far, nor is
it necessary for the average Individual
to learn to run great distances at O
high speed, but every one owes it to
his health to be able to run without
distress. say half mile at a fair pace.
Let him begin by jogging one-eighth
or one-Quarter Of q mile, then half q
mile which distance he may ultimate
~ run reasonably fast.-G. Elliot Flint

A MAN OF LETTERS.
Rare Brevity and Beauty Of Lincoln's
More Notable Addresses.

More Notable Addresses.
Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called a man Of letters, and yet it
would be hard to find in all literature
anything to excel the brevity and beau
ty Of his address at Gettysburg OF the
lofty grandeur Of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called
model for the study. and imitatie2 OF
princes, while In our own country
many Of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech Of mankind.
His gift Of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit Of his own
clear mind and partly the result of the
training he gave himself in days Of
boyish poverty, when paper and ink
were luIuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
must be the best words and the clear
est and shortest to express the ideas
he had in view. This training Of
thought before expression, Of knowing
exactly what he wished to say before
saying it, stood him In good stead all
his life, but only the mind Of a great
man with a lofty soul and poets
vision, one who had suffered deeply
and felt keenly, who carried the bur-
den Of q nation on his heart, whose
sympathles were as broad and whose
kindness was as great as his moral
purpose was strong and firm, could
have written the deep, forceful, con-
vincing words that fell from his pen
In the later years Of his life. It-was
the lite he lived, the noble aim that
upheld him, as well as the genius with
which he was born, that made him one

Orange RIoanoma.

Much uncertainty exists as to why
the orange blossom has been so much
worn By brides, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that it was adopted
as an emblem Of fruitfulness. Accord
ing to some authorities, the practice
has been derived from the Saracens,
among whom the orange blossom was
regarded as a symbol of prosperous
marriage, a circumstance which is
partly to be accounted for by the fact
that In the east the orange tree bears
ripe fruit and blossoms at the same
time.
