The infuriated troopers and the 5000

THREE QUEER CITIES.

Each One Is Built on islands Con-
nected by Many Bridges.
The city Of Client, in Belgium, is
built on twenty-six islands. These
islands are connected with each 9TH
er by eighty bridges. The city has
800 streets and thirty public
so.aree. 1t is noted for being the
birthplace Of Charles V. and John
of Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called

the scene Of the ~pacifcation Of
Client, Nov. s, 1876, and Of several

Of well known personages. It is as
ISOLATED with American history by
the treaty made there Dec. "A, 1914,
terminating the second war between
England and the United States,
known as the war Of 1912.
Amsterdam, in. Holland, is built
on piles driven far below the water
into the earth. The city is inter
sected by many canals, which are
spanned by nearly 800 bridges, and
resembles Venice in the mingling
Of land and water, though it is con-
siderably larger than that city. The
canals divide the city, which is about
ten miles in circumference, into
ninety islands.
The city of Venice is built on
eighty islets, which are connected
by nearly 400 bridges. Canals serve
for streets in Venice and boats,
called gondolas, for carriages. This
bridges are, as a rule, very steep,
rising considerably in the middle,
but have easy steps. The circum-
ference of the city is about eight
miles. The Venetians joined the
Lombard league against the Ger
man emperor and in 1177 gained a
great victory in defense of Pope AL
exander III. over the fleet Of war
vessels headed by Otto, SOL of Fred
erick Barbarossa. In gratitude for
this victory the pope gave the Doge
Ziani a ring and instituted the world
famous ceremony of "Venice Mar
rying the Adriatic Sea-" In this
ceremony the doge, as the chief
ruler of Venice used to be termed,
with appropriate ceremonies drop
ped a ring into the sea every year in
recognition of the wealth and trade
carried to Venice by the Adriatic.

The Rain Was Hot.

Mrs. Goitt had been waiting for
week or more to give her rear porch
good scrubbing, but she was always
afraid of mourning the keen displeas

who, it seemed, were never off theil
porch and who would get all the drip

would not be out on the porch during
the rainstorm, and all the water that
dripped down would be attributed ia
the rain. She filed a bucket with boil
ing hot water, threw in a sallow cake
Of soap and got busy.
But she had reckoned wrong, for the
people down below were on their porch
enjoying the shower. In a minute Mrs
Goitt heard a woman's voice below
saying: why, Martha, the rains com

And then Martha observed, with a

observed that whenever Sullivan
much to his disgust, was obliged tc

heels in the secretary's anteroom
when the private secretary entered

Of course it would be better not
to quarrel in the first place, but
after all we are only human, and
sometimes our temper gets the best
of us.
But the false pride that keeps US
from acknowledging ourselves in
the wrong is even more deplorable
than the unruly tongue that gets
is into trouble in the first place.
A quarrel that does not amount
to much in the first place a grow
into a perfect mountain of trouble
through brooding.
Don't wait for the other person
to express regret. Come right out
like a mar or woman and say: "Tn'
sorry for my share Of the offense
Let us forgive and forget"
Never part from any n With
hard feelings between you.
Remember that "many 60 forth

back at night" Don't run the risk
Of having to go through life with
an agony of remorse in your heart.
And remember also that every
quarrel leaves a scar. If you would
prevent those scars from being ugly
wounds, do not hesitate to do your
share Of 'Emaking up"
Sweethearts will quarrel over
needless trifes as much for the
pleasure of reconciliation as any
thing else, but it is a foolish pas

Of dispute.
If you are a wife, never let your

press sorrow Immediately after the
quarrel as it will be if you wait g

Heat Tests Of Clothinu.

An interesting experiment made in
June by a physician proved conclusive
~ that for the sake of GOODNESS only
white should be worn in hot weather.
The physician spread out in an intense
sunshine a large piece of white cloth,
another of dark yellow, another Of
light green, another of dark green, an
other of blue and another Of black.
Then, with the help Of six thermome-
tiers, he made the following table OF
the various heats which each color re
ceived from the sunlight: White, 100
degrees; dark yellow, 40 degrees; light
green, 155 degrees; dark green. 1853 de-

Under ordinary circumstances the
trip across the Atlantic would have
been quiet indeed. The eastbound
traffic was light, and most of it went
to the newer and faster boats. There
were less than fourscOre passengers IN

For more than a year Dorsey had
sought to win Nell's hand and with
fair prospect Of eventual success.
When he heard that the family wa

planned to take the same boat, and
the evident pleasure with which Nell
greeted the announcement greatly
cheered the anxious Adams.
But the boat had not reached the
banks before the cours Of true love
showed its customary unwtllingness to

been out less than twenty-four hours
when the love course began to resem

sympathetic stewardess helped the ex'

Dorsey seated himself on a stool be
