DO l think that bravery, heroism.

Quite Easy to Learn Family Secrets
In New York.

1T beats ALL" said a westerner as
he sat in the smoker, how many
family secrets you can learn in New
York without knowing any Of the fam
lies, or even their names"
What's your system?" a New

here two weeks, visiting a relative who
occupies an apartment. Through the
walls and through the airshaft-on
which four or FIVE other apartments
open-I learned details of a will fight
In one quarter. OF an impending d.
vorce in another, and of a sons embez-
element in a third; to say nothing Of
why one family couldn't pay rent on
time, how the husband and father of
another was worrying his wife into the
grave by drunkenness and extrava-
gance, and sundry other skeletons sup
posed to be closely guarded.

Largest Building Stone.

The walls of the Acropolis at Baal-
bek are truly called Cyclopean, says
Sunday at Home. The famous Trili-
thon, the largest stones ever used in
building, measure respectively 65, 81
and GO feet in length, each block
weighing about $50 tons. How these
huge masses were accurately placed
in position 20 feet above the ground is
a problem which modern science, with
all its appliances, leaves yet unsolved.
Above them are Arab Notifications.
The quarries whence these gigantic
materials were obtained are among
the most interesting features Of Baal-
bek. Here may still be seen the meth
cd of work of the ancient quarrymen,
stones vertically hewn lying almost
ready to the hand of the builder. One
of these stones, to which the Arabs
give the name Hajar-el- Houbla, meas
ures SO feet in length and weighs 915
tons.
NJ. de Saulcy calculates 1t would
take the united efforts of 10000 men
to put this huge block in motion. This
quarry is now used as a metropolis by
the inhabitants of Baalbek.

The Only Way to Keep YOUNG Is to

Is a cynical saying which has not

In 1t, for it certainly Is a fact that
IN society today the women who have
the greatest success are the more or
less. matured ones who have realized
that, since grow old we must, the
least we can all do is to grow old
intelligently. ct is a mans own
tault-it is from want Of use-if his
MIND grows torpid in old age" said
Dr. Johnson, and there is no reason
why when we feel ourselves no long
er OF the crowd we should not still
derive a certain mild pleasure from
looking on at It from the outside.
The only really old people are the
ones who have never had any strong
interests In life, who have never felt
anything, done anything. or been any
thing In particular The only posi-
Die way to keep young is to keep
ones heart young; the only proven

Many ROYALTIES In Germany.

Germany is ruled by one emperor,
four kings. six grand dukes, seven
princes and one simple count These
sovereigns occupy very different de-
grees of Importance, even in the eyes
of their own immediate subjects, but
in one degree or another they all en-.
JOY the dignities and privileges of
kingship and all ahve to face some of
the responsibilities of state. Every
one Of them has a capital and a court
OF his own. Some Of the capitals are
not very big cities, but they are all
very proud. Among them are places
with populations of 1900, 5000, 5000
and 5000. Arolsen. the capital OF the
principality Of Waldeck-Pyrmont, has
only $3.50 inhabitants. The entire
population Of the principality of Lich-
tenstein, the smallest of them all. is
about $500 souls. The capital is
Vaduz. with 1,139 inhabitants.

Anent the Billiard Cue.

Concerning the billiard cue and the
old-fashioned billiard mace" or bill
lizard mast" as Cowper wrote the
word, it may be noted that the origi-
nal French term for the instrument of
the game was "Masse" or billiard"
Queue" according to Littre. was at
FIRST the name of the tapering tail"
or striking end Of the less clumsy
stick that subsequently rose into
favor, and eventually came to mean
that stick itself. Queue" in the
sense OF the tail of wig, used some
times to be written cue" in
English, but we reserve the
French spelling now for this
and for the tail people at a
theater door. giving the English to
the billiard stick and to the actors
"cue"-if that also represents tail"

as the actors cue used to be written

represent the Latin "Quando" (when)

MOUNTAIN SHEEP STOP TRAIN.
Animals Are Nuisance to Railroads
in Colorado.

The law preventing the killing of
mountain sheep is known to be agree
able to sportsmen, but it meets with
anything but approval of trainmen.
The Florence and Cripple Creek
train due here at nine o'clock Thurs
day morning was delayed 20 minutes
by mountain sheep running along the
tracks. The train was pulling into
McCourt, a flag station, when the en-
gineer discovered a bunch of IL noun
tain sheep ahead. The whistle was
blown, but the animals kept on the
track. The train had to be stopped
and the sheep driven off with rocks.
The train had no sooner started
when several sheep again jumped in
front Of the engine and trotted ahead
for distance of almost a quarter of a
mile. Several weeks ago Conductor
Jack Brown stopped his train one mile
below McCourt to release a large ram
that was caught by the horns in a wire

SAID the superintendent Of a dog and

animals detest the smell of kerosene.
Several times the steam heating ap-
paratus in this place went on a strike
and We tried to raise the temperature

OF the oil produced a regular mutiny
among the animals. Cats are partic-
ularly sensitive to the odor of kero-

stationery store which has been heat
ed all winter long with an oil stove
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned a fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his COM
portable quarters. No sooner. how
ever was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
home for the winter in a steam
heated fiat further down the street.
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell Of the oil pre-
vents his becoming a regular inhab-
liant of the store"

Our Enullsh.

Sidney Lee, the London Shakespear-
can scholar, thinks well of English as
spoken by Americans. His views were
expressed in addressing a new British
association, instituted ITO help to
maintain the correct use of English.
and to promote the due recognition of
English as an essential element in ma
tional education" In Harvard, he
said, there were 20 professors of Eng
lish, while in Oxford there was but
one. and this was a fair example of
teaching in the universities in the two
countries. Possibly this attention to
English is partly because America has
more to contend against, but it is due
partly, without doubt, to fresh inter-
est and laudable ambition.-Colliers
