Affected Building Foundations.
A couple of days after President
Roosevelt's inauguration, last March,
the whole body of Rough Riders from
Minnesota called on Secretary Taft In
the magnificent State, War, and Navy
Building. Accompanied by their brass
band of some fifty or sixty pieces they
lined up before e Secretary's office
and with ragtime music serenaded the
Secretary. Upon ] airing the music
the superintendent of the building at
once asked the leader to refrain from
playing any more in the building as
there was a tendency to weaken the
buildings foundations. In fact, in
this instance, the vibrations set forth
were plainly perceptible, not only TO
those in the vicinity of the band but
to clerks on other floors Of the build

When Spencer Travelled.

When Herbert Spencer went on a
long railway journey it was his prac-
tice to have reserved for him a first
class compartment. Across the car
rage he used to have a hammock
swung, In which he Travelled to avoid
the vibration and conclusion. There
was something funny in the spectacle
OF the staid philosopher travelling in
this fashion, and SO it appeared to the
people who witnessed the preparations
for his departure. The inqusitives
were soon disappointed, for as soon as
Spencer recognized that he was being
made the object of unsolicited atten-
ton he would shout out in stentorian
tones to the porters-he used to have
four to look after him-"Draw down

STRIKING EYEGLASSES,
No Law Which Declares 1t an Agra

No Law Which Declares 1t an Agra
waited Ofense.
1t is the common opinion that for
striking man with glasses on there
is a severer penalty than for striking
him under similar circumstances when
he is not wearing glasses. Careful
search, however, does not bring forth
any statutory provision which declares
the offense greater when the man who
Is struck wears glasses. The preva-
lence Of this idea is due, no doubt, to
the probability of the judge in such
cases giving the convicted the extreme
penalty. The legal term for assault I'M
der such circumstances Is mayhem"
slgnifying that the assailant has in one
way or another deprived his victim of
the power Of defending himself.
During an alteration from which a
struggle is apt to ensue any one wear
ing glasses would be wise to remove
them, unobserved If possible, however,
because if noticed it might act as
signal to begin hostilities.
Many think that glasses would be a
source of general protection in these
cases and often take advantage on that
ground, but this is wrong, because no
court would hold it worse to strike
man with glasses than one without
unless the assailant struck directly at
his opponents eyes, with the intent to
wound or main him, and whether one
were hit elsewhere than on the eye
glasses would not enter the case at all.

Origin of OK Tail Scum.

During the reign of terror in Paris
in 1893 many of the nobility were re-
duced to starvation and beggary. The
abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the
tanneries without removing the tails,
and in cleaning them the tails were
thrown away. One of the noble beg
CARS asked for tail, and it was will
1ngly given to him. He took it to his
lodging and made (what is now IA

He told others of his good luck, and
they annoyed the tanners so much that
price was put upon them.

DEAD MEMS SHOES,
P~cuIiar Beliefs About Them That
Exist In the Old World.

EXIST IN the Ol0 World.
dead mems shoes is a common ex-
preston, but means much in many
parts Of the old world, where the boots
Of the dead are accorded much i'm
portance.
In Scotland, in the northern parts of
England, in Scandinavia, as we'll as in
Hungary, Croatia and Roumana, the
utmost care is taken among the lower
classes that each corpse is provided
with a pair of good shoes before being
laid into the ground. If the dead per-
son happens to be tramp and to have
been found dead barefooted there will
always be some charitable soul to fur
nish a pair Of good boots for interment
along with the corpse.
Al inspector of police in Scotland has
been known to purchase of his own ac-
cord a new pair of boots and to place
them in the grave, reopened for the
purpose, of murdered stranger who
had been inadvertently inferred bare
footed the day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tsiganes as we'll as in many
parts of Asia, is attributable to the be-
lief that unless the dead are we'll shod
when buried their ghosts come back to
haunt the locality where they breathed
their last in search of pair of boots.
The shoes are popularity supposed to
be needed to pass in comfort and
safety the broad plains which the de-
parted soul must traverse before If
can reach paradise. Among some ma
tons these plains are declared to be
covered with furzes, thorns and mo-
rass, while other races say that they
consist of burning sands. These plains
of suffering are popularity credited with
forming sort Of antechamber to hell.
1t is for this reason that the boots of
the dead are called '.hell shoes in Nor
way, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

He has been very impetuous youth,
and his advisers have found it hard to
restrain him from doing things they

There is something of the element of
the story Of Cinderella in the tale of
the Princess Ena's Wooing by Alfonso.
She is the youngest of King Edwards
nieces. Queen Victoria's fayorite
daughter, the Princess Beatrice, is her
mother. The latter married Prince
Henry Of Battenberg, and it was not
generally considered a very brilliant
match. The pretty, popular Prin-
cess Ena was not invited by her royal
cousins to act as bridesmaid when
there were weddings at continental
courts and was rather looked down up
on by some of her naughty relatives.
but nevertheless 1t Is she who has car
ried off the young king Of Spain. She
speaks five languages, Is devoted to
outdoor sport and likes to do uncon-
ventional things occasionally. At pri-
waite theatricals at the Isle Of Wight
not long ago she appeared as a VIVIAN

song. A story Is told of her coming

ago One guest, very shy young
man, having been presented to the
young princess, asked In highly form
al manner, which was suggestive of a
duty being performed rather than of a
pleasure, whether she would honor him
with a dance. Ena replied with twin
kie In her eyes, 'Oh, certainly, IL you
are quite sure you don't mind!"
President Roosevelt appointed Fred

the nuptials Of King Alfonso and Prin-
cess Ena. He took his wife and daugh-
ter with him to witness the imposing
ceremony at Madrid.

princess who had been picked out for

suitable marriage for the ruler Of
Spain. There is little doubt that his
passion for the English princess is sin

search Of queen she was the only
princess who made a strong appeal to
bis fancy. Whether the princess fell

with her has been questioned by some.
and there is story that she was al

man when she first met the Spanish

FRESH WATER IN THE SEA.
Obtained by Divers From Springs
Overlaid by Salt Water.

The hottest region on the earth's
surface is on the southwestern coast
of Persia, on the border of the Per-
sian gulf. For forty consecutive
days in the months of July and Au-
gust the mercury has been known to
stand above 100 degrees in the
shade, night and day, and to run up
as high as 130 degrees in the after
noon. At Bahrein, in the center of
the most torrid part Of this most
torrid belt, as though it were ma
ture's intention to make the place
as unbearable as possible, water
from wells is something unknown.
Great shafts have been sunk to a
depth of 100, 200, 800 and even 500
feet, but always with the same re-
sult-no water.
This serious drawback notwith-
standing, a comparatively numerous
population contrives to live there,
thanks to copious springs which
burst from the bottom of the gulf
more than mile from the shore.
The water from these springs is OBJ
tained in a most curious and novel
manner. Machadores (divers), whose
sole occupation is that of furnishing
the people of Bahrein with the life
giving fluid, repair to that portion
of the gulf where the springs are sit
uated and bring away with them
hundreds of bags full of the water
each day. The water of the gulf
where the springs burst forth is
nearly 200 feet deep, but these
machadores manage to fill their
goatskin sacks by diving to the bot
tom and holding the mouths of the
bags over fountain jets-this, too,
without allowing the salt water of
the gulf to mix with it. The source
of these submarine fountains is
thought to be in the hills of Os-
mond, 400 or 500 miles away. Be
ing situated at the bottom of the
gulf, it is a mystery how they were
ever discovered, but the fact remains
that they have been known since the
dawn of history.
