A Royal Martyr to Etiquette.

In Spain the etiquette to be observed
In the royal palaces was carried to
such length as to make martyrs of
their kings. There is n historic in
stance. Philip III. was gravely seated
by the fire. The flremaker of the court
had kindled so great quantity of
wood that the monarch was nearly
sufrocated with heat. ana his grandeur
would not suffer him TO rise from the
chair. The domestics could not pre-
sumo TO enter The apartment because
1t was against the etiquette. At length
the Marquis do Totat appeared. anil
the Ling ordered him to damp the fires,
but lie excused himself. alleging that
he was forbidden by the etiquette TO
perform such Il function. for which the
Duo d'Ussedn ought to be called upon,
as 1t was his business. The duke was
gone out. The fire burned flcrccr. and
the king endured it rather than dero-
gate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated TO snch n degree that lie
was seriously Ill the next day. A vio-
lent fever succeeded. which carried
him OFF in the twenty-fourth year OF
his nge.-London Standard.

A LONG DRIVE.
The Export Lumbcrmen of the Cana
dian Rivers.

Tho Export Lumbcrmen of the Cana
dian Rivers.
One OF the most Interesting sights
the new arrival In Canada can strike
Is TO witness II log drive on one or tito
rivers there, especially should there be
several rapids to navigate.
The expert river man Is clever nth
lete-clever and nervy MS any circus
rider, his steeds probably cutting more
antics than any horse could think of.
lie will jump from one log TO another
quickly MS they swirl around until he
reaches the one he wants: then lie Will
make for tho center and stand perfect
~ upright ana still balancing himself
with long pike or peayy, sometimes
running down stream miles without
landing.
lie also guides other logs into the
channel In passing, ut times jumping
from one to another in marvellous fash
ion, although the logs nre twisting and
turning In every direction.
Probably the cleverest piece of work
one could observe out here Is when
the logs get TANNED In passing the
rapids. Then you see the expert Mt
Ills best. He is here. there and every
Where until he gets things as lie wants
them. when he Will calmly stand and
ride down among the heaving, grind
ing mass MS though there were no dan
ger at hand. This scene, so full of ex-
element, once witnessed could never
be forgotten. London Tit-Bits.

Light from Sugar.

TT PHENOMENON, the cause OF which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
! I planned, was recently observed by a
49, government scientist during the
course Of certain experiments.
Disks Of loaf sugar were mounted on a
lathe and rapidly rotated While a hammer
played lightly against them. An almost
continuous radiation Of light was thus pro-
duced from the sugar. IL was shown that
the light did not arise from heating Of
the sugar and it IS believed to be caused
by some change taking place in the sugar
crystals. The act Of capitalization is
known to be sometimes accompanied by
flashes of light. The practical bearing of
these experiments is on the question OF
the possibility of obtaining artificial light
by methods as yet untred.

If there Is any faith to be placed in tho
I working OF charms and the significance
OF talsmans Il might be we'll worth while
60 know and understand some Of them.
Foreign curios. FOR example, are in great
demand. whether they are found IN their
native lands or in this country, and many
are bought and worn without the slightest
knowledge OF what they mean or We're ln-
tended to be used for. Not long ago a wen
known society woman purchased a very
attractive japanese charm which bore an
Inscription In japanese.
The fair purchaser liked It's style, Il was
quaint and odd looking and it was Just
the thing 70 hang on an Oriental chain
she possessed. But sc so happened that
whenever she chanced 10 wear this orna-
ment some IN luck came 20 her or her
friends, usually TO her. This il luck was
so marked that she finally laid Il 20 the
charm, and In order TO find out whether
there could be any evil omen In the charm
she sent 10 TO an Orientalst and had the
design and inscription read. What was her
surprise to find that the ornament WAS
the japanese emblem OF sickness. Need
Hess 20 say Il never again adorned the
I fair owner. who has since made it rule
TO knowR something about the significance
of the foreign curios she is tempted to buy.

PoMPEIIAN HoUsEKEEPIN G.

THAT there Is tery little new under the
sun one very often has occasion to
] admit, for frequently antiquity re-
veals to us many things which show
that the scientific knowledge and the de-
VICES of to-day were property of some few
wise men hundreds of years ago. A Bir-
mingham manufacturer visiting Pompen
not long ago was amazed TO find IN
collection a small cable sldlfully made Of
very tough wire and almost exactly sim
liar to those used in our modern industries
You may go IN the silver stores to-day and
select from a very artistic assortment a
hot water urn, with It's lamplllze contrfv-
ance for keeping up the temperature, and
deem that you are buying something cx-
tremely modern. But you VIII be mis-
taken.
There has recently been added to the
Naples Museum a splendid collection OF
these objects dug up from the ruined city.
The one here produced Is an excellent ex-
ample. Archaeology has been able TO piece
together an almost entire picture of the
uses Of these beautifully designed urns. In
Roman times wine was always mixed with
water. sometimes two parts of water to one
OF wine, sometimes half and half.
The host would ask his friends how they
would Ike TO have It. Some preferred TO
have their wine cooled and snow or snow
water was put into the wine. Here is
where we have the advantage over a RO-
man in our modern refrigerating methods,
which enable us 10 have ice at all seasons
without regard to the product of the win
ter. But a custom among the Romans,
which nowadays seems strange to us, was
the admixture of hot water to the wine.
Special vessels were adapted for heating
or keeping the water hot, and they were
very often of very beautiful and elaborate
design. There are many and very ingen-

The Sultan's Screen.

THERE Is a story told of a famous and
curious screen which occupies prom
inent place In the menage of the sultan
OF Turkey. 1t IS made so rumor hath
II, Of human skin, perfectly tanned and
elaborately fooled and embossed, and il has
been IN the royal quarters for over two CEN
turtles This remarkable screen IS not an
evidence OF cruelty or harharty ON the
part OF Turkeys ruler two hundred years
ago but As a memorial to twelve faithful
servants OF a former Sultan. Al one time
during the Suitan's reign, two hundred
years ago. a wins OF the palace caught fire
and during the connagration a much loved
member Of the Sldtan's family was rescued
by twelve servants. The twelve servants
perished. some OF them dying later Of their
wounds and burns. SO his Majesty had
their skins removed by an expert and had
them preserved in this touching though
remarkable manner. The screen IS now
looked upon as a part OF the rulers inher-
iiance. and Il Is said that every Sultan
cherishes IL almost as he would his own

rP TO the age OF twelve Turkish girls
are rs free and untrammelled as Esu-
II ropean children and are allowed to
play with them and attend their
parties.
But with their twelfth birthday comes
the inevitable day which no Turkish wom-

evade.
ON that day the girl becomes a woman;
she adopts the "tcharoham" and joins

to see the world darkly through a veil
without having lost any OF their natural
desire 20 participate In it's gayeties.
