them. 'In the thirteenth century

Of Bologna had for professor of juris.
prudence Movella d'Andrla. She was
no more new than beautiful. Her
charms were so overpowerlng that the
trustees made her lecture behind a
curtain. When she lectured openly
the students their minds wholly occu-
pied with her beauty, could not attend
to what she said. Madonna Manzollna
was professor Of anatomy, Matilda
Tromboni taught languages and Marie
Magnesi held the chair of mathema-
tics. This university was by no means
a second rate one. On the contrary.
1t was perhaps the leading university
Of Europe. 1t had 10000 students"

RISE OF DIALECT.
Source of the Expressions "stis 1m!"
and "Sick Emil"

Source of the Expressions "stis lm!"
and "siek Emil"
When a boy in some parts of New
England has occasion TO set his dog
upon any one or anything he exclaims,
as rule: "Stig i'm! Stig imw The
New York boy or the boy of the west
generally says: "Sick 'em! Sick emw
To the western boy the command "Stig
'im! sounds absurd; 1t provokes his
laughter. But his own command is
equally amusing to the New England
boy.
This little difference illustrates the
beginning Of local dialect. Probably
neither boy thinks of the exact mean
ing of what he says. He is merely
repeating words he has heard others
use, which he is sure, from their fire.
quent repetition, that the dog will un-
derstand.
The boy who says "sick 'em" is re-

removed OF the words "Seek him"
which are very old command.

further removed from its original than

EDWIN FORREST.
The Great Tragedian's Acting Was
Saturated With Realism.

WIN FNodlISn1s
Edwin Forrest, says William Winter
in "Other Days" was an uncommonly
massive and puissant animal, and all
of his impersonations were more phys
ical than intellectual, while no one of
them possessed any spiritual element
whatever.
From the first and until the last his
acting was saturated with realism"
and that was one reason Of his exten.
sive popularity. He could at all times
be seen, heard and understood. He
struck with sledge hammer. Not even
nerves of gutta percha could remain
mistaken by his blow. In the mani
festation of terror he lolled out his
tongue, contorted his visage, made his
frame quiver and used the trick sword
with the rattling hllt. In scenes Of
fury he painted, snorted and snarled
like a wild beast. In death scenes his
gasps and gurgles were protracted and
painfully literal. The below that he
emitted when, as Richelleu, he threat
ened to launch the ecclesiastical curse
almost made the theater walls tremble.
The snarling yell of ferocity that burst
from him when, as Jack Cade, he rec
ognized and sprang upon Lord Say In
the forest fairly frightened his hearers
His utterance of Lear's dellrlous pray
er to nature was like a thunderstorm.
Often he produced amazingly consola-
tory effects, affording ample grati1ca-
tion TO the overstrained feeling Of his
audience, desirous-as in stormy pas
sages of king Lear and "Othello,"
the forum scene Of "Virginius." the
statue scene Of "Brutus" and the scaf-
fold scene Of Damon and Pythias"-
that something tempestuous and ter
rife should be said and done. There
are times when it is comfort to see
somebody who can let himself go. For
rest could. His style accordingly had
its positive, ample, undeniable merits,
but neither he nor his apostles were
ever satisfied with acknowledgment Of
those merits at their actual worth.

SHOES AND STOCKINGS.
A Way by Which Their Lasting ousii-
ties May Be Increased.

While your shoes are new or before
the soles are much worn apply with a
small brush several coats of llnseed
oil, letting it dry in well each time be
fore reapplying. The oil acts much
the same on the leather as 1t does ON
wood, and If the applications Of oil
are repeated frequently the sole may
be preserved intact indefinitely.
1t sounds unreasonable TO talk OF
preserving hosiery to any appreeiabls
extent, but 1t may be done. The Of
tener hosiery is washed the longer It
will last By washing l do not neces-
sarily mean the ordinary laundry
method, which is calculated to fade
and rot the fiber. Really, to preserve
hosiery it must have personal super
vision. Stockings should never be
worn longer than one day. They
should then be rinsed In lukewarm
water with a few drops of ammonia
in it, dried and worn without ironing,
This repeated wetting Of the fiber
keeps 1t so firm and strong that It will
not break at the points of greatest
distension. This treatment applies to
cotton, Isle thread and silk hosiery.
If you will treat your new hose this
way from the beginning, you need
darn but very little. OF course in time
all hosiery, however expensive or
strong, will succumb to wear. but the
above method of treatment will double
the lasting qualities. - New York

A CLASH WITH TURNER.
Rstort OF the Print Seller Who Longed
A. a. Al.

Rstort OF the Print Seller Who Longed
to See the Artist.
Turner, happening one day to pass
printshop, noticed in the window a
copy of one OF the engravings from his
famous "Liber Studiorum." The print
was In q very dirty, ragged state. En-
terlng the shop, Turner asked to see
the master and when the man came
forward proceeded at once to blame
him in no measured terms for having
neglected so valuable print and for
having allowed It to become SO dis
figured. The man protested that 1t
was no fault of his, as he did but offer
the engraving for sale in the same
state in which he had bought 1t from
some other dealer.
This did not satisfy Turner, how
ever, and he and the man continued
arguing for some time.
At last the print seller lost all pa
tience.
Perhaps, sir" he said, "when you
have quite finished what you have to
say you will kindly tell me what you
have to do with this engraving and
what business is It Of yours whether
the print is clean or dirty"
"Thls is what have to do with IT,"
answered the enraged artlst--"lt was
who drew the original of that print.
My name is Turner, and did every
line of that engraving with my own
hand. Now do you wonder that am
angry at seeing my work in so dis
graceful a statep
"Indeed, STRIP replied the print sell
er. $50 you are the great artist him
self! All my life long 1t has been my
wish that I might some day have the
good fortune to see Mr.. Turner. Now
that have seen him sincerely hope
that may never see him again."

The Earth's Changes.

The surface of the earth is under
going steady transformation, largely
through the agency of man, but per-
haps nowhere is the plant and animal
life of the region being more rapidly
superseded than in New Zealand. The
native Polyneslan race, crowded by
Europeans, is becoming extinct. Many
of the imported animals run wild and
multiply rapidly at the expense of the
native species, even the streams being
filed with European and American
trout, which grow to great size.

/ HIS LIFE FOR A HAND.
An English Legend Of the Time Of the
Crusaders.

An English Legend Of the Time Of the
Crusaders.
In little town ur village in Glouces-
tershire there is a church which
contains the mortal remains of one OF
the old crusaders. In mOldering eff
hgy he is depicted on the tomb while
by his side in cold eloquence is imaged
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft of one of the
hands, and the story runs that the
crusader while fighting in the east
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him IL there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young and would leave newly we'd
ded wife, who would bitterly mourn
his loss.
'The love of woman is as a fleeting
BREATH" retorted the sultan "Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. "Wcll, then"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as soldier that If this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send 1t TO me l will set him free to
so to her" BY tedious and slow jour,
neyings the message came, and she, in
all piteousness for him who was her
lover and her lord, caused her hand to

who kept his word and set the cru

The Eleur.da.lis.

The origin and therefore the full
heraldlc meaning Of the fleur-de-lis is
disputed. BY some the emblem is sup
posed to represent lily, by others the
iron head of some weapon, presumably
a lance. From the claims put forth by
English soverelgns to certain princi-
palities in France, gained by inher-
itance or marriage, the French royal
coat appeared as quartering in the
English royal arms, but 1t was abol-
ished by George ~.

ing Aortal lTaWc.
In 1871, when French balloons from
bcleaguered Paris were dropping on
the sacred soll' of Prussia, q royal
decree declared them confiscate as con-
traband of war. And on the conclu-

through the German reichstag which
forbade under penalty Of death any
future similar aerial violation Of Ger

SO long ago as 1880, again, balloon
ascents were made illegal i'm Turkey,
so far as regards Constantinople and
forty miles around, and in 1872 the pro-

entire Turkish empire. To France,
however, belongs the distinction of hav-

solemnly decreed that nobody should

Later, In 1911, It was enacted in
France that henceforth no balloon,
