"Theonly logical location for such

A Literary Tragedy,

When Carlyle had finished the first
volume of his great work on the French
revolution he lent the manuscript to
his friend John Stuart Mill. One even
ing soon afterward Mill entered Car
lyle's door, pale as Hector's ghost, with
the dismal information, gasped out in
almost inarticulate words. that with
the exception of about four or FIVE
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mill had left 1t too care
lessly lying about, and n servant, think
ing 1t so much waste paper, had burned
1t. Five months of steadfast, occasion
ally excessive and painful toll utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
do nothing but read Marryat's novels.
Then one night, sitting talking to his
cook, he decided it should be written
again and eventually finished "such a
task as never tried before or SINCE"

Choice of Cows MIX.

A writer states that where CONNER
cial value is the only point at issue
milk must have a high percentage Of
solids in order to be good" This Is
not true, however, where weak diges-
tionis to be dealt with. Skim milk con-
tains nearly all the protein of the whole
milk, but after the fat In the cream
has been removed the milk loses half
its fuel value. What is left, however,
has value equal to that Of the whole
milk for the building and repair Of
tissue, for the making of blood and
muscle and bone, while it has half the
value of the whole milk for supplying
heat and muscular power. Buttermilk
is practically sour skim milk. Other
things being equal. the milk Of COW
which gives large quantity is prefer
able to that Of COW giving q small
quantity. The former is sure to have
a rugged constitution, good digestive
power, depth of respiration and good
physiological traits. A phlegmatic tenn

The Machine Worker.

The American boy is thoroughly i'm
bued with the get-rich-quick spirit,
whether in a greater or lesser degree.
The learning of trade is too slow,
too tedious and offers too little immedi-
ate inducement. Why should he work
as an apprentice at to s cents an
hour after reaching the age of seven
teen or eighteen when he can earn 10
to 10 cents at piecework running a ma
chine? Once he has entered the door
of the piecework shop the boy is DOOM
ed to the pieceworker's life. Once the
machine gets its grip upon him he nev-
er escapes. The rare exception only
proves the rule. Not only does the
monotony of the reduplicative work
upon which he enters choke his ambi-
ton and devitalize his life, but usually
he enters upon this narrow life work
with very little equipment and view
bounded by horizon equally narrow.
There is little to develop, even when
there is some ambition to begin with

Seven In the Bible.

The number seven plays prominent
part in events in the Bible. The crea
tion took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day Of
the seventh month q holy observance
was ordained, and the Israelites feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning Of the
flood, and the seven years of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible so often as seven. No doubt the
wide popularity Of the number and the
superstitions which are connected with
it came from its wide use in the Bible

"siug a song of st.pence.y

The old nursery rhyme of "Sing a
Song of SiXpence" is an ancient allie
CORY and a very pretty one. The earth
is represented by the bottom of the pie,
while the sky is the upper crust. The
clouds are the clothes which the maid
who is daybreak--is hanging on the
line before the king or sun is up. The
money which the king counts in his
counting house are the sunbeams
which slip through the suns fingers.
The blackbird, which nips off the
maids nose so unceremoniously and
thus ends the song, Is the sunset or
end of day. The moon and moonbeams
are represented by the queen and her
honey, and thus we have the whole
day amply accounted for.

4 Famous Bell.

The emperor's great bell in the Ca.
thedral of Cologne was consecrated
with great pomp. Twenty-Five cannon
taken from the French were assigned
by the Emperor William for its manu-
facture. 1t was cast By Andreas
Hamm of Frankenthal, and more than
$20000 was paid for the casting.
1t bears IN inscription recording
that William. the most august en-
peror of the Germans and king Of the
Prussians, mindful of the heavenly
help granted to him whereby he con-
Quoted the late French war to a pros
porous issue and restored the German
empire, caused cannon taken from the
French to be devoted to founding a
bell to be hung in the wonderful Gu
thedral then approaching completion" ."
A likeness of ST. Peter, the name
patron of the church, is on the side,
beneath which is a Quatrain in the
style of the medieval conceits, pray
ing that as devout hearts rise heaven
ward at hearing the sound of the bell
so may the doorkeeper Of heaven open
wide the gates Of the celestial mansion.
On the opposite side is inscribed sex

A MesIeT Anecdote.

1t Is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed, and on one
occasion at conference he became so
irritated at the prolix remarks Of a
speaker that he said to his brother:
stop that mans speaking. Let US
attend to business"
But the offender was relating his re-
ligious experience, and, though it was
at so great length, John Wesley evil
dently thought that no one had a right
to interfere with it. He was therefore
allowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him
self no longer
"Unless he stops" he whispered to
John, "I'll leave the conference
By this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story, and he only turned
and whispered to some one sitting
near:
"Reach Charles his hat"

Keep the ArmhoIes Down.

1t is strange that not one person In
a thousand knows how to help a man
on with his coat or lady with her
jacket. They all make the mistake of
holding the garment too high, especial
ly the last sleeve. They lift 1t so that
a man nearly dislocates his arm reach
ing for 1t. The more futilely he grabs
and claws and lurches for it the higher
they hold it until the wretched victim
would have to get on pair of stills
to find the armhole. The proper way?
Why, hold the coat so that the arm
holes are as low down as the mans
waist, taking care to keep the skirt of
the garment off the floor, Of course If
there is any struggle to find the last
armhole, drop 1t still lower. Never
raise it. Drop it until his hand slips
into it naturally.

web.ter,s Fine Talk to a Fish,

1 had chat once with old John At.
taquin, then patriarch among the
few survivors of the Mashpee Indians.
He had often been Mr.. Webster's
guide and companion on his fishing
trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings. 1t was. with glow
Of love and admiration amounting to
worship that he related how this great
fisherman, after landing a large trout
on the bank Of the stream, talked
mighty strong and fine to that fish and
told him what mistake he had made
and what a fool he was to take that
fly and that he would have been all
right If he had left 1t alone"
Who can doubt that patient search
would disclose somewhere In Mr.. Web
ster's speeches and writings the elabo-
ration, with high intent, of that

Pliny's Jewel Stories.

Pliny declares that a diamond was
so hard that If placed on an anvil and
struck with a sledge hammer it would
give back blow of such force as to
shiver both anvil and hammer to
pieces. Another Of his wonderful tales
states that ION the shore of the island
of Cyprus there was a stone lion hav-
ing eyes formed Of emeralds, which
shone so brightly that all the fishes
were ingloriously frightened away. The
fishermen accordingly pulled the emer-
aids out and put in glass eyes instead,
whereupon the wise fishes became
bolder and returned to their accustom-
ed nets"

iFhe Rain III the Woods.

The lamentable effects of the gel
al destruction of forests are now su.-
flclently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction Invites
devastating floods In mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast "Sn-
densing screens. They preserv /.
moist atmosphere about them, Il
uate the force Of torrential downf ....s.
promote more gradual melting of III,
snow in early spring and protect n
soil against too rapid evapora
And yet the manner in which fol - -
act their beneficent part Is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent large part Of the rain that falls
from reaching the soil at all. 1t Is es-
timated that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transpire
physiologically four-ffths Of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil In equalizlng the cli-
matte conditions of country.-Youth's

Tale of q Coat.

The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities of cut. These oddi-
ties were once essentials. There was,
In fact, time when every idiosy1=
Grassy of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose. The cutaway front of
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away so that the wearer when ON
horseback would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out Of harms
way, each tail having in the past
buttonhole at its end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics of the
days when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar, with its wide notches, Is q sur
vival of the oil collar that was notch
ed In order that Its wearer could turn
it up conveniently in cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in a word, is
patchwork Of relics-relics once es-
sential, but now of no use on earth
