A City ON the Cliffs.

Precisely why the town Of Bonifacio,
In Corsica, is built to the sheer edge
Of the cliff which forms the sea front
age Of that part Of the island is ques-
ton always asked by the traveller who
views Bonifacio for the first time, and
he reiterates his question when he OBJ
serves, upon visiting the environs of
the place, that there is plenty Of room
for the town to have spread out in an
inland direction. The early Corsicans
apparently thought that farm land was
worth more than city real estate and
so crowded their dwellings to the dizzy
edge Of their 200 foot precipice. Ones
first impression is that these houses,
with their walls on a vertical plane
with the cliff, were purposely so stu
ated that the body of victim of a
dark vendetta murder might be con-
veniently dropped out of the window
into the sea beneath, with no one the
wiser. Certainly there is suggestion
Of romance and mystery in the aspect
of the town. 1t forms, at any rate one

Supplements to the DecaIogue.


Our social organization has devel-
oped to stage where the old right
eousness Is not enough. We need an
annual supplement to the Decalogue.

spread Of fduciary relations, the en-
meshing Of industry in law, the inter-
lacing Of government and business, the
multiplication Of boards and inspect

to greed! What fresh parasites they
let in on us! How idle In our new
situation to intone the old litanies!
The reality Of this close knit life is not
to be seen and touched; 1t must be
thought. The sins it opens the door to
are to be discerned by knitting the
brows rather than by opening the eyes.

Living In Coral Houses.

The church built Of coral Is one of
the curiosities of the Isle of Maize,
one of the Seychelles islands, In the
Indian ocean. The Seychelles Islands,
which are supposed by many to be the
site Of the Eden Of the Old Testament,
form an archipelago Of ia islands and
are situated about 1,40O miles east of
Alden and 1000 miles of Zanzibar.
They rise steeply out Of the sea, culmi-
mating In the Isle of Maize, which is
about 5000 feet above the level Of the
ocean and is nearly the center Of the
group. All these islands are Of coral
growth. The houses are built Of a
species of massive coral hewed into
square blocks, which glisten like white
marble and show themselves to the
utmost advantage in the various tinted
green of the thick tropical palms,
whose immense fernlike leaves give
pleasant and much needed shade. These
palms grow as high as 100 feet or more,
overlapping both the houses and the
coral built church. They line the sea-
shore and cover the mountains, form
ing In many places extensive forests.

The Art Of Idlinx.

Cultivate the art Of idling. There Is
no doubt that to be able to idle at will
Is most valuable gift and one which
Is becoming rarer every day. The art
of loafing Is not properly understood
by the majority of people. Much has
been written on the subject. Steven
son dealt with 1t in an essay: Mr.
Kenneth Grahame touched on it in
Pagan Papers," and Mr.. Barry Pain
has some Illuminating remarks on the
subject in his Canadian canoe book.
There is a subtle difference between
the views Of these experts. Mr.. Ora
hame advocated absolute idleness.
Mr.. Pain pointed out, with more truth,
that the great art Of loating was to do
the easiest thing and that sometimes it
Is easier to work than to be idle. This
Is the secret of the whole matter. The
superficial idler thinks it his duty to
be idle on every occasion. The man
who has studied the subject knows
that this is an entirely erroneous
view. There are times when we feel
that we must be up and doing. If we
sternly repress this inclination our
peace is disturbed. The really scien-
tific idler Is the man who can idle at
will.-London Chronicle.

Town without Horses s wheels.

Town Without Horses 1r wheels.
The town Of Funchal, in the Ma
deira islands, is town with no horses
and no wheeled vehicles. In travelling
about one either drives in sledge or
is carried in hammock. The streets
and adjacent roads are paved with
small and curiously smooth cobble-
stones, and from the first it was found
that runners were better than wheels
both for speed and comfort. For in
stance, when you come to q hill the
oxen draw your sled to the top and
are then unhitched. Your driver then
proceeds to toboggan your conveyance
gently down the other side, while the
team trots on behind. Horses are not
available in Funchal, as the nature Of
the cobblestone roads would soon ruin
their feet. This is why the OK, with
his flexible hoof, is the draft animal Of
Funchal. For expeditions into the
country the hammock is used This Is
slung on pole, carried on the shout
ders of two men. and is perhaps the
most comfortable conveyance in the
world-no jar and no need to guide it.

rnomaa moore.


Measured by the popularity and mar.
ket value of his poems when they were
written, Thomas Moore has no rival
among the poets Of Ireland. While en-.
gagged at his Irish melodies, in which he
was at his best for they called forth
the powers in which he most excelled-

fishers. Their immense and well merit
ed success induced Longman to give
Moore 5000 guineas the highest price
that had up to that time been paid for
a poem-for "Lalla Rookh," the gor.
geous eastern romance which dazzled
and delighted readers OF that day, but
Is now rarely read. AS lyric poet
Moore was, like Burns. one Of the best
writer's we have ever had of words
for music" and. In his case at least
the words are inseparable from the
music. Goldsmith, poet of different
order and with wholly different ex-
perience, got little popularity and less
money for his poetry, butin 'sThe Trav-
eller" and "The Deserted Village he

The Rain In the Woods.

The lamentab BILE effects Of the gener-
al destruction of forests are now suf-
ficiently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating foods In mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast con-
densing screens. They preserve a
moist atmosphere about them, atten-
uate the force Of torrential downfalls,
promote more gradual melting of the
snow In early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And yet the manner in which forests
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
hysiologically four-ffths of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil in equalizing the eli
matte conditions Of a country. Youths

Resin.

The resin of the shoemaker and f1d.
der is obtained from different species
Of the fir Treas the Scots fir, the
larch and the balsam fir of Canada. It
Is well known that resinous juice
exudes from these trees, which hardens
into solid tears. The clear juice itself,
before it has dried up by coming to the
surface, Is known in commerce as tur
pentine and is in the main composed of
oil Of turpentine and resin. When the
juice Is distilled, the oil comes over,
and the resin remains behind. When
the dfstillation is carried on to dryness,
common resin is formed, but when
water Is mixed with it while yet fluid
the resulting mass is the variety called
yellow resin, which is more preferred
for most purposes because it is more
ductile than the former, owing prob
ably to its containing some oil.

Grave. and Gravediseers,

"Gravedigging is not gay bust
ness" said gravedigger, ''but it is
very old one, and many curious super
stitions surround it. One of these is
never to buy new spade. To dig a
grave with spade that is new is sup
posed to bring death in the family with
in twelvemonth. Hence gravedig-
gers buy their spades second hand as
rule. Another superstition with some
is that grave should never stand

stammer to :Your.elr.


TO the many correspondents who
have written inquiries and suggestions
as to a cure for stammering we may
state that this is not medical bu-
reau. This writer gave his own meth.
cd Of curing his own particular nerv-
GUS disorder, which Is probably
shared by many Of his fellow men. Let
It be repeated In answer to many who
seem to have seen the problem and
missed the solution. Consume your
own smoke. If you must stammer, try
to stammer to yourself. When you
have tut-tutted and gur-gurred sufh-
GENTLY to yourself, you will be ready
with the word. It is quite astonishing
how soon the inaudible stammer be-
comes unnecessary and the word is
whipped out! But there are some men
who hug misunderstanding al
ways In the right place lifting curl
DsiV to tiptoe in the listener. Charles
Lamb stammered, but always In the
right place, as when he went to buy
cheese (the story may be quite untrue).
The shopman offered to send it home.
Lamb inspected 1t. Then he asked for
q bit Of string. II think" he said, Il
could l-l-l-l-ead 1t home" London

The Boring Of Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means Of rotating brass tubes of
the necessary diameter, which are
alled with water during boring. To
the water there is added finely pull
verified emery. 1t is said that thinner
glass can be perforated with holes IN
an easier manner by pressing disk
Of wet clay upon the glass and making
hole through the clay Of the widths
desired, 50 that at that spot the glass
is laid bare. Then molten lead Is
poured into the hole, and lead and
glass drop down at once. This method
is based upon the quick local heat
Ing Of the glass, whereby it obtains a
circular crack, the outline Of which cor
responds to the outline of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting Of glass
tubes, cylinders, etc., in factories is
based upon the same principle.

Tiger ana vurture Of the Sea.

Tiger ana vu1ture Of the Sea.
II the "killer" whale Is ''the tiger OF
the sea-" as the writer Of an interest
Ing article in the September Windsor
has 1t, the orcas surely are the vultures
Of the ocean. In connection with whale
catching the author Of this interesting
natural history article tells Of the fol-
lowing incident: Some years ago
whaler In the northwest had killed
large whale and had the animal along
Iide when 1t was attacked by a school
Uf orcas. They doubtless were half
starved and, crazed by the scent Of
blood that extended away long dis
lance. probably followed it up like
hounds, Immediately attacking the
whale. The men, with spades and
lances, cut and slashed at them, In
dlcting terrible blows, yet despite this
the orcas literally tore the whale from
the ropes and carried 1t of. This Ger.
tainly shows that the orcas, together
with very fair share Of intelligence,
are also creatures Of extraordinary
0urage.-Dundee Advertiser.

GOODNESS of Ice.

It seems strange to think that some
ice is colder than other ice. The term
''ice cold" always seems to signify a
definite temperature. All water under
similar conditions freezes at certain
definite temperature. But when the
thermometer falls below that it con-
tinues to affect the ice, making it hard
er and colder. The test has been made
by placing a piece of ice from the
north and piece of ice formed in the
vicinity Of New York near stove to-
gether. The former took much longer
to melt than the latter.-New York
Tribune.

Moderation In Exercise.

It Is better to be lazy than dead, and
It is probably just as comfortable. For
obvious reasons the prescription to take
moderate exercise is misleading and
unsatisfactory. Most Of us are consti-
tutionally incapable Of exercising mod
erately. We begin violently and end
quickly. And what Is moderate exer-
else? One philosopher who tried it for
twenty years arrived at this conclu-
sion: keep pair Of Indian clubs in
your bedroom. Look at them frequent
~. Exercise by their suggestion"
This has the merit Of moderation. It
Is the same as to walking. Smell the
morning, look down the long way that
separates you from your business.
Then take car.-Detroit Free Press.

History of the Typewriter.

"The history Of the typewriter is in
teresting," said an inventor. '"The first
patented machine was Henry Mills.
It was as big as bureau and made no
popular appeal. This was in England
In TIA. The first type bar machine
was made in America. Its inventor
was A. H. Beach. The patent was
taken out In 1856. The Beach type
writer was not practical. The first
practical typewriter was invented by
Latham Sholes In 1867. Sholes had for
partners s. w. Soule and Carlos Gid

couraged and dropped out. It wasn't
till some years later that Sholes got his
machine ready for the market. Then

The Poodle.

Why is a poodle, so called? Some
one says: Probably the natural an
swer would recall the old lady who
said that no credit could be given
to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known what to
call it. Poodle seems so obvious a
name for this dog. And, in fact, this
is not far from the truth about the
origin of the word. 1t is quite recent
In English, not being found before
1864, apparently. 1t is the German
'pudel,' which comes from the Low
German, 'pudeln,' to waddle, and the
dog must have been so called, as Skeat
says, either because he waddles after
his master or because he looks fat and
clumsy on account Of his thick hair"
