A LIFE OF THE ROOFS.

Florence, Italy.

Gardens Flourish on the Housetops of
Florence, Italy.
There still exists in Italian cities q
life of the roofs that is distinct and
characteristic and of which the mere
foreigner and tourist is entirely un-
aware. Particularly is this the case in
Florence. Mount to the top floor Of
one of these grim, big palaces standing
in some gloomy, sunless street, often
approached by a stern, forbidding door
way and dark, steep stairs, and you
will hold your breath with wonder at
the surprise that awaits you, for here
before your eyes stretches an unfa-
miliar city, red and green city Of
wide expanse and varying attitudes, a
city no less architecturally beautiful
than the one you have left below and
enlivened, too, most unexpectedly by
verdure.
In the very heart of the city, on its
topmost apex, there is no trace Of
CRIME. The air is pure and whole
some Indeed, its breezes are charged
with no small suggestion of sea and
mountain breath. AS for the smoke
one would expect to find hanging above
the roofs Of densely populated city, it
is conspicuous by its absence, and only
at the hour of meals does some faint
blue column rise for the briefest space
into the atmosphere.-Helen Zimmern's

THE scHEMIHL.
He Is the Poor Fellow Who Always
Misses His Chance.

Misses His Chance.
The schemihl is easier to understand
than to define. Many years ago gath
ering of the wits at the Maccabaeus
endeavored to come to decision as to
the real definition of schemihl. They
could lot agree as to the origin of
the word, and they found it equally
hard to define what exactly schemihl
is. The nearest shot, says the Jewish
Chronicle of London, was that of Stu
art NJ. Samuel, NJ. P, who said that
he could tell story that would illus
trate exactly what was meant by the
term. There was poor man who
could not find anything to do. What
ever he tried failed, and when he
sought employment he could not OBJ
tain it, Day after day he sat (schemihl-
like on bench in the public gardens

a whole year he sat thus each day un-

a merchant, who said to himself: 81

poor man who is always sitting so pa
tiently and wistfully as though he is
looking for employment Tomorrow
I shall speak to him." The morrow
came, and the poor man started for his
usual walk to his usual seat AS, how
ever, he was leaving his house he said
to his wife: "My dear, have been out

A Sudden Drop In Values.

One of those binding snowstorms

the town, obliterating the landscape

of his front window the morning after
the storm was appalling.
81 suppose I've got to shovel that
snow off my walks" he said to his
wife, "but it will take me half q day,
wouldn't do it for $5 if I didn't
have to-"
He took his snow shovel, however
and went bravely to work. About five
minutes later a man in the garb of a
laborer came along.
Mister" he asked, don't you want
to hire that done?'
81 don't know" responded Mr.. Hip
perly. what will it cost me?'
The man looked at the huge drifts
that covered the walks for depth OF
nearly three feet and shrugged his
shoulders.
"The jobs worth ST." he said.
Its too much" said Mr.. Hipperly
iii give you so cents.''
The man shook his head and moved
on. Mr.. Hipperly was about to resume
operations when he happened to glance
at his front window and saw his wife
looking at him with a queer smile on
her face. Then he remembered.

New York Church Choirs,

Singing in a New York choir has
several advantages, one of which is the
long contract" said soprano. 81 sang
in churches in four different cities be-
fore coming here, and everywhere
was hired from month to month. That
is the custom in most churches in 9th
er towns. The trustees are afraid to
sign a years contract on account Of
the hot water they will get into if the
choir proves unsatisfactory. Congrega-
tions in other cities are very fnicky
and. stubborn in the matter of music.
They don't take things as easy as the
people do here. The average New York
congregation is the most obliging body
on earth. Unless a choir is hopelessly
bad nobody interferes, so the trustees
feel safe in hiring the singers by the
yeaf."-New York Sun.

Grant the Hero.

When General Grant was seized with
his fatal illness in the autumn Of 1884
he appeared before the world in an en-
tirely new character. From being view
ed as the stern, uncompromising and
conquering military commander, the
revelation of his simple resignation in
the face of great suffering claimed for
him new fame as a hero in another
sense. His last battle with the great
conqueror destined him for grander
laurels than were gained on any of his
many triumphant fields. 1t was the
purely human side of his nature that
then appealed to the general sympathy
of mankind. Thus his last and only
surrender was his greatest victory. If
it had been otherwise, history would
have cheated itself of an example Of
Christian fortitude the like of which
has been seldom recorded.-Dr. G. F.
Shrady in Century.

Hanu Up Your Watch.

The question whether it is better to
wind watch at night or in the morn
ing was discussed at meeting Of the
British Watch and Clock Makers guild
The London Express took up the sub
ject and obtained the views Of George
Russell. an expert on timepieces- "Giv-
en- a good watch. It does not matter in
the least whether you wind it at night
or in the morning." he told the reporter
"But a watch never keeps the same
time when the position Is constantly
altered. Watches which are sent to
Kew and which are tested in several
positions rarely keep the same time.
The moral to be drawn, therefore, is
keep your watch as much as possible
in the position in which you wear 1t
during the day. In other words. hang
your watch up at night"

Marriage by Halter.

Among ignorant people of English
birth it was once the belief that wife
bought with money or goods was legal
ly married if the purchaser led her all
the way home by halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian. told of village poet known
to him who bought a wife for half
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro-
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded
"Why. yes, be-" he replied "1'll
take my Bible oath l never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was shut"
The latest instances Of such wife
sales occurred in 1858 and 1859, when
women were sold in Little Horton and
in Dudley. In these cases blue rib
bon took the place Of the straw halter.

When Jones got home the other night
he found the family in panic and the
house being flooded from burst water
pipe. The first thing he did was to
scold his wife for not having sense
enough to 60 down to the cellar and
hammer. up the supply pipe to prevent
the water from escaping. Then he
went downstairs and was soon heard
hammering vigorously. After some
minutes strenuous work, giving one
last mighty blow, he asked, "How is it

feed upon hastily erected affairs.
Latham, in his edition of Tacitus.
quotes six contemporary authorities to
show that this practice Of concluding
a victory with human sacrifices was
customary among our Teutonic ances-
tors. Some crucifed their prisoners,
others hung them up to trees for arch
cry practice, but in general captive
was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods.
Even when the progress Of agriculture
induced them to keep a majority Of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the tortures inflicted on
the small remainder.
Gibbon describes how, before the
blazing altar. every hundredth mans
arms were hacked off him and, before
his eyes, thrown into the flames. All
that red Indian would have done
in the eighteenth century was freely
practiced by our ancestors Of twelve
centuries ago. And the highest ideal
of man then included, as duty, dark
cruelty and grewsome revenge against
all his enemies.
