Reims' Rare Tapestries,

One feels the interior of Reims ca
thedral to be immense without search-
ing the guidebook for actual figures of
length and height. One feels it to be
splendid without looking at the detail
of the pillars, with their gilded capi
tails, the lofty vaulting of the roof, the
choir spacious within its simple grille,
the windows burning with royal fires
fires lighted in the thirteenth century
when stained glass reached its full
beauty-the tapestries glowing even in
their faded glory. These tapestries al
ways seemed to me the distinctive fe;-
ture of Reims, the last touch of mag
niiicence to II cathedral already mag
nilicent. They hang all along the aisles
Oh each side of the nave-Gobelin
tapestries, perpersack tapestries, tapes
tries rarely seen anywhere nowadays
save safely stored in museums. 1t is
like the sumptuousness of Reims to
display them as if they were as entire
ly part of itself as the sculptures OF
the facade, the angels and monsters of
the apse.-Elizabetll Robins Pennell i'll

They Wouldn't Salute.

Black Jack Percival, who was a ma
val captain in the old days, once
brought Il cargo of Spanish jacks home
In Il man-of-war. He was in Spanish
waters when the jacks We're given to
the United States by Spain and was
ordered to bring them out in his ship.
1t made him angry, but he got the
beasts aboard and sailed for New York.
When he came through the Narrows
the guns had been rolled back, and out
Of every port there stuck jacks head
Thus decked out and without Il salute,
he came to his anchorage. The admiral
commanding sent posthaste to de-
mand why Captain Percivnl had not
saluted. II didn't salute" was the
doughty captains answer, because
couldn't. l had two men twisting ev-
cry jacks tail, but not a blanketed one

SECRET WRITING.
How Letters May ee Made Safe From
Pryinl Ewes,

PryinJ Eyes.
Even with the most unromantic of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran.
dum OF write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
so. Here is Il simple method:
Soak sheet of note paper in cold
water and lay it perfectly fiat upon a
pane of glass. Place above it another
sheet, dry this time, and on the upper
sheet write your message with n fairly
hard pencil. You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece. Don't
hold it to the fire, but let it dry nat.
urally. If you then examine it close.
ly you will see not the faintest trace of
writing, but if you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote. 1t will show up like the water.
mark on postage stamp. This meth.
cd, by the way. is sometimes adopted
by convicts. They use their Cruel
cans instead of glass and sharp piece
of wood for Il pencil
Another way is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets of
paper on a fiat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet, on which no impression appears.
If you hold this in the vapor of iodine,
however, the writing will turn brown
and be quite legible. The explanation
Is plain. The note paper contains
starch, which on being pressed turns
to hydramide. substance which is
acted on by iodine in the manner de-
scribed.-Answers

Faith In the Clergy. I.

The +highlanders' faith in,sthe clergy
has always been peculiarly profound
This characteristic is Illustrated,
though in rather an exaggerated way,
by the story of two old women goins
along the road after service who We're
heard to discuss the sermon as fol
lows:
Peggy-Ah, and did you hear that
most precious word, Kirsty--u most
precious word?
Kirsty-No. And what word was
that?
Peggy-Oh, most precious word,
and it's myself that will not forget 1t,
the precious word Nebuchadnezzar.
kirsty-Oh, yes. But did you hear
that other most beautiful word? My
self never heard it said before, the
beautiful word Belshazzar.-C Caledo-

Tho Crafty Brother.

A man had two sons. The elder was
virtuous and dutiful, the younger wick
ed and crafty. When the father was
about to die. lie,called them before him
and said: II have only two things OF
,vameanl,y herd @. camels and my
blessing. How shall allot themi'
Give TO me-" said the younger son,
THY blessing, for 1t may reform me.
The camels ] should be sure to sell and
squander the money"
The elder Disgusting his joy, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and pious mind 1t was
so arranged. and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold, my brother
has defrauded me of my lawful her
ltage. He Is so bad that our father, as
is well known, denied him his blessing.
Is it likely that he gave him the cam
els?"
So the elder brother was compelled
to give up the herd and was soundly
bastinadoed for his rapacity.

Advantages of Madness.

The truth Is. l fear, that madness
has great advantage over sanity
Sanity Is always careless. Madness Is
always careful. There is great dea!
Of falsehood in the notion that truth
must necessarily prevail. There is this
falsehoOd to start with-that If man
has got the truth lie is generally happy,
And If he is happy he is generally
lazy. The incessant activity, the cxag
gerated intelligence, generally belong
to those who are little wrong and
just little right. The whole advan-
taga of those who think that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, says Gilbert ].
Chesterton, writing in the Illustrated
London News, lies simply in the fact
that they care whether Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage
Of those who do not think it lies in the
fact that they do not care about it,
The sane man who is sane enough to
see that Shakespeare wrote Shake-
speare Is the man who is sane enough,
not to worry whether he did or not.

Tho Turkish Manual.

In most of the houses in CONSTANT
nople as well as in other cities of Tur-
key heating in winter is done by means
of the SO called "mangal." This con-
sists principally of receptacle for
burning charcoal. A mangal may be
nothing else than such a simple brass
or iron receptacle or may be quite an
artistic and expensive article of most
rare and valuable workmanship. The
charcoal Is first thoroughly burned
through, and when 1t no longer emits
any fame or odor the mangal is
brought into the room for purposes of
heating. Sometimes 1t happens that
proper attention is not paid to the
burning charcoal, with not infrequent
fatal results.
