Civilization Does Not Enfeeble.

We need not have the slightest fear
that civilized man is going to become
degenerate from city dwelling or any
Of the other strains Of civilization.
Contrary to popular belief, the white
man of today has aulower death rate,
q higher average length Of life, is tall
er, heavier and stronger than any Of
his predecessors or any known race Of
savages. Almost any company OF
American and English soldiers will
contain men who can outrun, Outwres-
tie and outswim the best athletes Of
any native tribe-Success Magazine.

Only One King sur,ed In Iceland.


In Iceland it is the boast Of the ma
tive that "only one king is buried
here" That was King Roerek OF Nor
way wide Snorri Sturiuson's Saga,
"Heimskringia'), whom King Olaf the
Holy shipped" with the significant
hint that he need not be in any hurry
to return to his native land. Roerek,
who was shrewd, peaceably minded
monarch, took the hint, went to Ice
land and a thousand odd years ago set
tied down to farming sat little stead
height, Calfskin, where were but few
serving folk, and there he dwelt and
on the fourth winter got the illness
which brought him to his bane. So,
it is said, he is the only king that
rests in Iceland"

The History of Tacitux

The entire history Of TacituS, as we
have the work, was regained from
single copy found in the fifteenth CEN
tury in q monastery Of Westphalia.
That we should owe the works Of this
author to one copy is remarkable cir
cumstance, for the Emperor Tacitus,
who claimed to be descendant CT the
historian, had copies Of the history
placed in every library Of the empire
and each year had ten copies transcrib-
ed for presentation to scholars. All, it
seems, perished, save the Westphalian
COPY.

The Study OF Poetry.

Never before was there so much
study Of poetry and the drama. This
is due to the modern extension OF edu-
cation and to the spread Of reading
matter among the masses. Poetry is
not the fashion Of an hour; it Is an
eternal need Of the soul-a need that
increases with the increase Of intel
sectual ight.-Edward Markham IN

A Horses Age.

The age Of a horse cannot always be
told by looking at its teeth. After the
eighth year the horse gets no more
new teeth, so that this method Is use
less for horse more than eight years
old. AS soon as the set Of teeth is
complete, however, wrinkle begins
to appear on the edge Of the lower
eyelid, and another wrinkle is added
each year, so that to get the age Of
horse more than eight years old you
must count the teeth plus the wrin-
tiles

nous Master.
 Two boys were herding swine iu Italy. They were evidently discussing some very important subject, for they were earnest at it. A man approach. ed, and the boys separated, each for his own side of the pasture. The man was angry and was shaking his hand at them. The boys said nothing: they drove their swine in and were quiet as a mouse about it. The man had said they should stay out until dark, and the sun had not even set yet After they had driven the swine to their re- spective places each crept to his room. took his clothes and tied them in bundle. This done, they both crept down and ran to the road which led to Rome. Ones name was Peter; the other Michael Angelo. Both were poor boys. They tramped and tramped, and the first thing they did when they reached Rome was to go to church. After they had rested and prayed they looked for employment. Peter received employment as the cooks boy in some cardinals house, but Michael could find nothing to do, so he almost de- spaired.
 He went to his friend Peter, who gave him something to eat and at night secretly let him into his room in the attic to sleep. This went on for a long time, Peter content to let his friend do this and Michael content also. Michael when in church had seen some fine pictures. One which fasci- mated him was Christ Ascending to Heaven" Taking bits of charcoal, he went to Peters room and drew pic lures on the white walls. One day the cardinal had occasion to go to the room. Michael had meanwhile secured employment in the cardinals kitchen. The cardinal, upon seeing all the pie lures, was dumfounded with their accurateness. He called Peter and Michael upstairs and asked who had drawn them. Michael confessed he had, but said he thought he could rub them out again. The cardinal explain ed to him that it was all right so far as the wall was concerned. He took Michael and sent him to a drawing master and gave Peter a better posi- tion. And Michael worked hard at his drawings, learned diligently and be- came the renowned Michael Angelo, one of the greatest painters of his time.

Terror Saved Her.

A tale of paralytic and a stroke of lightning: For twenty-two years a wo- man had been paralyzed, unable to leave her room. One night when she happened to be alone in the house a fierce storm broke. The poor woman was terrified by the thunder and the blinding glare of the lightning. With an effort of which no one had believed her capable she struggled from her bed and to the house of a neighbor. Barely had she reached safety when the place she had just left was struck by light ming. The room in which she had lived so long was rent in two and every thing in it was burned or smashed. Power of locomotion had been restored to the cripple just in time to save her Chicago News.
