The Scanish GaIIeon,

Primarily the galleon was but a
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony of fate she became, almost from
her inception, center of the fiercest
fighting. Square rugged and high Of
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
of waist, with massive bulwarks and
forecastle, and poop three and four
decks high, she possessed a pictur-
esque appearance, but little of sensi-
BILE naval architecture. The stem was
clumsy, broad and blunt, and smashed
heavily through the waves, to the
great detriment of speed; this and the
towering stern presented such sur
face to the wind that the difficulties
of steering We're quite formidable, and
six or eight men at the wheel were
not unusual The method in this APP
parent madness of marine construc-
ton was the landlubber's instinct,
still strong in men of the sea of those
days, to reduce all naval maneuvers
to the stand-up-andknock tao
tics of the land fight on common
platform Magazine.

Canaanite BuriaIs.

Some important discoveries have
lately been made with regard to the
burial customs of the Canaanites. The
bodies were usually deposited in
caves, as Abraham deposited the body
of Sarah The caves were either
natural hollows in the rock, such as
abound in Palestine, or artificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular On the floor of these caves
the body was laid, in a contracted po-
sition. Stones were placed round it
and earth strewn over it. For the use
of the spirit of the deceased vessels
of food and drink were placed near
by: not without pathOs is the deposit
of cooked meat, with knife to cut
it and a saucer inverted over it to
keep it warm, that was found in one
tomb in Gezer. Spears, swords, orna-
ments Or other objects which the de-
ceased might be supposed to require
were also deposited. These objects
are valuable testimonies to the belief
of the Canaanites in the continuance
after death of a life similar to the
earthly existence.

son rubber sent up by child from
the Tuileries garden October 20, at
the children's fete at which 1000 Of
these balloons were sent up, has beat
en- the worlds record for speed and

hours, and was caught at Underman-

shortly before noon October 81. What
a pity somebody wasn't aboard this
tiny record-breaker! Only the name

it in Paris, with card asking the

traordinary voyage. But 1t is a straw

NOW Mr.. BAXTER HAS REFORMED.
In the Future He Will Think More
About Appearances.

One reason why Mr.. Baxter never
fixes to go out evenings is because he
seldom can find room enough in the
street cars to make himself comfort
able. There never was person who
liked to spread himself physically as
does Mr. Baxter. Mrs. Baxter has fire.
quently been sorely Inundated by that
fact. When they are out together he
refuses to squeeze into close quarters
Just for the sake of being near her.
If there is a wide space at the other
end of the car Baxter unSentimentally
moves on and drops into it without
minding in the least that he has left
her alone.
Since last Thursday night, however,
Baxter has promised to think less of
his material sensibilities. That even
ing the BaXters went to the theater.
Going home Baxter, as usual, refused
to sit by his wife on the ground that
he would be unduly crowded. There
was a rift in the row of humanity fur
Their along the line, and he went down
and filled in there. He sat beside fat
man, who had previously Travelled
short distance over the alcoholic route.
The fat man had noticed from afar
Bakers Discrimination to share his
wife's society, and he thought he I'M
derstood the cause. Pleased with his
powers of divination he nudged BaX-
ter good-naturedly.
That's right" said he. Don't give
her chance to bullyrag you before
folks. It's bad enough when you're
alone, but it's worse when there's any,
body around to hear That's why | give
the old lady the slip. Well both catch
it when we get home, but we're safe
for the rest of the trip, anyway
The alcoholic mans "old lady," half
a dozen steps away, overheard, and,
judging by the rapid-fire action of her
eyes, it was pretty safe to guess that
the fat man would catch it" even if
Baxter didn't.

Hotel Keys.

ut takes just about 500 new keys
year to keep us going remarked
Dave Mills, assistant manager of the
Euclid, the other day. That does
not include the keys that are carried
away and returned by mail. Then
lots of people take the metal tags off
keys in order to carry the keys in
their pockets, and the tags get lost
Sometimes guest will return a key
that he has carried for year or So
But the funniest proposition l ever
struck was this: We got letter
one day from a man out in Des
Moines, Ia, who wrote to apologize
for not returning a key he had taken
away. He said he. found that the key
just fitted the front door of his home
and as his wife had lost the key to
the house few days before, he felt
obliged to keep the key from the
Euclid, much as he hated to do it,
