Oddities of Genius

ECCENIR1CIIY seems always attendant
IL upon genius Racine, the French writer
composed his work while walking rapidly
about, shouting out the lines in loud voice
One day while he was thus composing part of
his play of Mithridates" in the Tuileries gar
dens in Paris, he was surrounded by a group
of workmen who took him to be a maniac. On
his return home from these walks he would
write down scene after scene in prose- and
when they were finished he would exclaim
My tragedy is donel" considering the transpo-
sltlon of the lines into verse only trivial thing
Magliabechi, on the contrary, rarely left his
room. He lived amid an army of books, and
wrote his works at table upon which were lit
tered great piles of papers and long forgotten
volumes, which he took a special pride in col
lecting.
Luther would take his seat at his desk and
write for DAYS without leaving his chair. On
these occasions he had his food brought to him.
but often forgot to eat it. When his brain
became fatigued he would take up his guitar
and the soft chords of the music acted as a
never failing refreshment. He was passion
ately fond of music, and did not hesitate to say
that after theology music was the first of arts.
Calvin, like Mark Twain, did a great part of
his studying and writing in bed. Every morn
ing at five o'clock sharp he had his servant
bring his work for the day, which was always
carefully mapped out to him, and then for
hours he would toll steadily. If he was obliged
to go out upon some errand, he would come
back, and, undressing again, take to his bed
before continuing his labors.
Byron did his best work in the dead of night,
as did Poe. Rosseau wrote early in the morn
ing, and lie Sage at midday. Villehardouin
rose before daybreak and wrote till late at
night, and Demosthenes passed three months
in a lonely cavern by the sea studying and
trying to overcome the defects in his voice.
The favorite writing place of La Fontaine
was under the shade of a tree. Amid such
pastoral surroundings he composed most of
his fables The idea of universal freedom of per-

entered had they not seen cobweb spanning
the entrance. Not knowing that the web was
woven after Mohammed had entered the cave,
they passed by, and thus a spiders web
changed the history of the world.
The shaving of a beard once cost the French
nation three million soldiers and started a
series of wars that lasted for nearly three
centuries. When Louis VII. was ordered to
crop his beard by his Bishops, he did so, and in
consequence Queen Eleanor his wife found
him unattractive, and, obtaining a divorce,
married the Count of Anjou, afterward Henry
H. of England She had for her dover the
provinces of Guienne and Poitou, the strife for
which laid SO heavy toll on France.
The treaty of Utrecht was occasioned by a
quarrel between Queen Anne and the Duchess
of Marlborough about pair of gloves; and the
coquetry of the daughter of Count Julian
introduced the Saracens into Spain.
Luther might have been lawyer, had his
friend and companion escaped the thunder
storm, and if in 1864 Greenvile had not sue
ceeded in carrying his resolution on the advis-
ability of charging certain stamp duties on
might still be bowling to the British scepter.
The Duchess of Marlborough spilled basin
of water on the gown of Mrs. Masham, in Queen
Anne's reign, brought in the Tory minister,
and gave new turn to the affairs of Europe.
An even more trivial incident was the cause
of the interruption of the proceedings dis
solving Henry wills marriage, which, by
the way, brought on the Reformation. At an
interview with the Pope the Earl of Wiltshire's
dog bit the foot of His Holiness as it was being
extended for the Ambassador to kiss and the
confusion interrupted the negotiations.
Giotto, one of the early Florentine painters,
might have continued shepherd boy had
not picture of sheep which he drew on a
rough stone attracted the notice of Cimabue.

Too Small to Be Seen

MOT long after his introduction into national
~ life as a member of the House, " Tim "
Sullivan of Tammany Hall conceived violent
dislike for the man then at the head of one of
the executive departments. 1t was observed
that whenever Sullivan, much to his disgust,
was obliged to consult the official in question
he invariably left in anything but the pleas
ATTEST of hu1nors.
One morning Sullivan had been cooling his
heels in the Secretarys anteroom, when the
private secretary entered, saying, Il am aw-
fully sorry Mr.. Sullivan, but you can't see the
secretary this morning"
Sullivan, by this time in white heat be-
cause of his long wait, dramatically exclaimed,
"Merciful Heaven! Is he so small as all that "

A Costly Pun

THE costliest pun that was ever perpetrated
was probably that of Sir William Colling-
bourne for which he paid with his head in 1884.
Richard III was then on the throne, and,
with his agents, Ratcliff Catesby, and Lovel,
was working his crooked will upon the English
nation. Using as the basis of his satire the
wild boar on the Kings shield and the popular
use of the word Lovel a name for dogs, Col
lingbourne wrote the following:
THE Rat, the Cat, and Lowell the dog
Rule all England under the Hog"
The punster was sent to the block for his
i'll judged witticism.

Some Death Bed Rimesters

THERE have been numerous instances Of
L poetical and grammatical deaths. The
Emperor Adrian made poetical address to
his own soul as death was casting the seal of
final silence over his lips and Margaret OF
Austria, while almost within the grasp of
DEATH in a terrific storm at sea. calmly sat
down and composed her eptaph in verse.
The ship weathered the gale, however, and
the eptaph was not needed.
Philip Strozzi, when imprisoned and await
ing death on the galows, resolved to commit
suicide Before he killed himself he carved
with the sword, upon which few minutes
later he inpaled himself, the following verse
from Vergil on the wall: " Rise some avenger
from my blood"
The Marquis of Montrose, when he was con-
denned to have his limbs nailed to the gates
of four cities, said that he was sorry that he
did not have enough limbs to nail to all the
cities in Europe, and this he put into beautiful
verse as he was walking to his execution.

The Smith Connection

PSYCHOLOGISTS say that the name
~ Smith is such a common one in all
English speaking countries because in early
times not merely iron workers were styled
smiths, but also those engaged in any line of
metal working
In France Smith lnasquerades as lie Fevre
and in Germany as Schmidt or Schmitt; in
Holland Smid or Snits. In Italy, the familiar
name is recognized with difficulty in Fabbroni
and Fabroniess; in Scotland it is found more
readily in the Gowans in Wales, Golf and
Cowan both stand for the same name; in
Slav tongues Smith becomes Koracs. The
Celtic race never was addicted to trade names,
preferring personal, local, or patronymic
terms; Still there are MacGowan and Nc
Intyre, both meaning the son of Smith.
The Smith derivatives, SO to speak, are with
Smeith, Smit, Smyte, LIE Smyt, and the like.
Then come Goldsmith, Silversmith, Copper
smith, Locksmith Whitesmith, Brownsmith,
Blacksmith, Arrowsmith, Speersmith, Rede-
smith, knyfesmith, Nasmyth (nailsmith),
Hydesmith, and SO on to the crack of doom.

Long Lived Statesmen

MANY British statesmen have lived to
Nl great age. Gladstone and Lord Palmer
ston were the only English premiers who be-

OF these, Lord Sidmouth was the oldest. He

eighty-one, Beaconsheld at seventy-seven, and
Chatham at seventy.

The Shortest Sermon

nNE of the shortest sermons on record is
~ the one which Dean Swift preached
before a charitable society. After announcing
his text, He that giveth to the poor lendeth
to the Lord the preacher simply said:
Now, my brethren, if you satisfied with
the security, down with the dust" He then
sat down. while the ushers took the collection.

of decoration such as have never been

1t is dream, a nightmare, vision,
carved in solid stone under the green

milk the hired man used to give us TO
drink in the dawn of happy June
morning, stone as red as the heart of
the first bloodroot that you dug in the
spring when the world was all spring
to you, and stone that Is blue with a
blue that all the painters who have
ever painted Venice have tried to get
for generations and have failed
Frozen fountains are there, white
with the leaplng foam Of untold ages;
sculptured cats and horses and great
monsters to be dreamed about O nights
and feared in dark corners in the day
time, organs built by the hands of
giant gnVmes Tor Titan TO play wild
hymns Of praise upon, kitchen for

NnnoIconls Ini. Winer.

Napoieon was a hero to his valet,
Constant, though he sadly marred the
servants effort to dress him neatly.
Said the valet:
His breeches were always Of white
cashmere But two hours after leaving
his chamber It often happened that
they were all spotted with ink, thanks
to his habit Of wlping his pen on them
and shaking ink all around him by
striking his nen against the table. How
even, as he dressed in the morning for
the whole day, he did not change hla
toilet on that account, but remained in
this state until night. The whole inside
of his boots was lined with white fus-
tian. Whenever one of his legs itched,
he rubbed ii with the heel of the boot
or shoe with which the other leg was
shod, thus heightening the effect of the
spilled ink.
Heroes Ia history seem to as poetic
because they are there But IL we
should tell the simple truth of some OF
our neighbors II would sound Ike
poetry.-q. w. Curtis.

WAYS OF PENGUINS.
These Birds Lay Out Home Sites and
Build Cities.


Penguins mostly spend their lives on
the water, but when, during the breed
ing season, they are obliged to seek
the shore they establish cities, many
acres often being laid out in squares,
composed of what might be called
streets, running at right angles. The
birds not only lay out their city after
picking up all the loose stones till the
whole place is as smooth as board
floor, but they take possession in cou-
pies, each pair selecting a home site,
not to build a nest, but merely to Sc
cure q particular spot on the bare
ground.
The hen lays one egg, and only one,
and during the time of incubation the
male bird brings her food from the
sea or sits on the egg awhile himself
IL she wants to go out and take a
swim. The lady penguins grow so fat
and sleek under the good care of their
faithful mates that they are eagerly
hunted at the breeding season.
The old birds are tough and fishy,
but the tender young matrons are in
great demand, both for their oil and
flesh. Even the eggs have an oily and
fishy flavor and taste as hens eggs
might IL cooked in paraffin. The PEN
guin has wings, like other birds, but
they are altogether too short to fly
with, though they assist him some
what IN waddling over the ground

Use medicine glass with the amount
of each spoonful and drop marked
upon it. Teaspoonfuls and tablespoon-
fuls are always mentioned, but as
these vary in size it is not safe to rely
upon them. Drops. too, cannot be
properly measured without a glass.
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. 1t should be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. 1t is desirable that If the patient
Is to have medicine with a strong
smell, oils. etc, to keep glass special
ly for them, letting it soak In hot wa
ter for half an hour after use to re-
move all disagreeable odor. 1t is i'm
possible to cleanse such glass In q
few moments. When the medicine Is
being poured out hold the label upper
most in order that it may not become
'stained with any drops escaping down
the side of the bottle.

THE CHAMPAGNE MAKER.
Why His Face Is Always Decorated
With gcars


The Frenchman's face was hacked
and notched.
Have you been a duelist?e one
asked.
NO no." the man replied. 81 have
been q champagne maker" He touch
ed his face. These honorable nicks,~
he said, ''are champagne scars.
Champagne scars" he went on, dec
crate the yisages of all the workers in
the underground champagne mills of
Rheims. They are caused by the burst
ing of the bottles. About one bottle of
champagne in every ten bursts.
There are miles and miles of cham
pagne caves in Rheims, caves cut in
the solid limestone rock, where, in a
constant temperature of 40 degrees,
millions of bottles of wine refine and
ripen.
"The workers down there smell moth
ing but champagne all day long, cham
payne escaping from burst bottles, and
as the turner's move along the racks
each turns $4,000 bottles daily-they
are continually saluted with explosions
Bangl And the glass splinters fly, and
q little fountain of champagne per-
fumes the damp air.
DAY after day each bottle must be
turned, turned fifty times altogether,
till the sediment in 1t has all mounted
up and concentrated itself around the
cork. Then the corkers remove the
corks, let the sediment thickened wine
in the neck OF the bottle blow off and
skillruliy replace the cork again.
THE corkers' and turner's work is
dangerous. These men are nearly all
SCARED like me."-Kansas City Inde-
pendent.
