Drinking Cups Of the Aneisnts.

Drinking Cups Of the Aneisnts.
Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to gold cups. They
were very beautifully engraved and Of
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were enrich
ed with precious stones they some
times became peers of>the engraved
silver vessels. OF all sizes, shapes and
designs were these drinking cups, and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial Of which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only n and
some none at all. They were large and
small, low and tall, narrow and OBJ
long. They were purely the product Of
the varying fancy Of that prodigious
age, which seemed to scorn uniform
ity. The early Greeks and Romans
drank hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee origi-
mated with the Assyrians. and tea was
first used by the Chinese at a very
early age.-National Food Magazine.

Curzcn and Davitt.

Once in the house of commons, when
George Curzon was making some de-
Tense as to alleged harsh treatment by
Turks of Cretan prisoners, he was i'll
%terrupted by a query from Mr.. Davitt.
"Were these prisoners handcuffed?'
Quick as lightning came the reply,
Eyes, and some honorable gentlemen
ought to be no strangers to handouts"
This was of course the signal for a vio-
lent parliamentary tempest. A day or
two after Mr.. Curzon went up to Swift
MacNeill and expressed his sorrow at
having used the expression and his de-
sire to apologize for it in the most
public manner why" he said. 81
thought the interruption came from
you and that you. of course, would
not mind. l was Mortified when l dis
covered that it was Davitt who had
made the remark. OF course I would
not be capable Of joking on the sub
ject of imprisonment and handouts
with a man who had endured nine lon.
years of penal servitude."-London

Curious Habits Of Spiders.

The water spider carries air down
with it when it dives. DIR. McCook
saw II remain forty-five minutes un-
der the water. One water spider
builds a nest under the water attached
to the stem Of some plant and in the
shape Of a diving bell, with the open
Ing downward. 1t fills this bell with
air by taking down a bubble at a time.
Coming to the surface. 1t incloses an
air bubble under its body and instant
" descends. Getting under the nest,
the bubble is allowed to escape into it,
and this process continues until the
nest Is full Of air. The spider then
lays its eggs there, inclosed In a CO.
coon, and leaves them to grow in this
underwater palace, safe from all fly
ing foes. When these water spiders
are seen under water they look like
little balls of shining silver. Little
bubbles Of air seem to cling among the
hairs Of their bodies. As spiders, like
insects, breathe the air at little holes
along the whole length Of the body,
they can easily make use Of these bub-
bles Of air for observation-disclosures

Those We're the glad and happy days
when rival editors called each other
horse thieves, skunks, wind bags and
other amiable names, and it was Colo
mel %Ballinger's proud duty m day to
kick his loathsome contemporary out
Of the postofice. Young Richard
Achilles learned to set type, sell pa
pers and tend sheep. Then he went to
Kansas and besides punching cattle
became a clerk and earned enough
money to take him to college. First
he attended the state university, but
on advice Of John J. ingalls, went to
Williams, from which he graduated
at the age Of twenty-six. In the class
behind him was James R. Garfield,
his predecessor as secretary of the
interior.
Returning to Illinois, he studied law,
as his father had done before him,
the elder Ballinger having read with
Abraham Lincoln. When admitted to
the bar the young nan went to Ala
bama and started practice, but after
q few years returned and hung out
his single in Washington and finally
went to the state Of Washington.
There he became Judge Of the superior
court, United States court commission
er, mayor Of Seattle and finally CON-
missioner Of the general land Office at
Washington. It was Garfield that got
him into the last named job, and Bal
llnger accepted against his wishes. He
told President Roosevelt a story of his
cowboy experiences in Kansas, which
related to three rattlesnakes he had
dispatched on the prairie one night
before he could 60 to sleep. Roose-
Velt convinced him that there were
Bone snakes to kill in the land Office,
and that induced him to accept the
place. He held it only one year, but
during that time he thoroughly reor-
ganized the Office. His motto then
and probably now was, II hate a
snake"
While mayor Of Seattle Mr.. Balm
ger concluded the town was too wool
~ even for the wild west. so he took
on some of~the hair. Those were the
Klondike days. and everything was

Father of Conservation Movement.
More important than all, Pinchot has
taught us how to conserve. Now, the
chief difference between him and Bal.
linger seems to be that the secretary
Of the interior also wants to conserve,
but he wants to be nice and legal about
1t, while Pinchot doesn't give a hang
how he conserves so long as he does
1t. That shows that he was not a
member Of the Roosevelt "tennis cabi-
net" in vain. He saw the way his for
mer chief did things and got the habit.

perspiring experience. 1t is hard to
teach on old lawyer new tricks, for
the reason that he knows them all.
Pinchot had nothing to restrain him,
and when he got to conserving did it
for all he was worth.
President Roosevelt said that Pin
chot started the conservation move
ment, and that Is glory enough to
make a small man swell up. But Pin
chot did not swell. He simply went
on conserving. He conserved not only
the forests, but the water and the
coal and everything else that he could
ind that needed it and that had not
been gobbled up by the trusts. This
threw several kinds Of rage into the
lumber barons. the timber thieves, the
coal trust, the power pirates and va
rious other malefactors of great
wealth who wanted to grab off the
natural resources Of the country and
sell them by the bushel. 1t left Pin
chot standing all alone between the
defenseless timber lands. coal lands

Willis Moore thinks he knows about
the weather. Pinchot did not write
"Woodman, Spare That Tree" but
might have done so II George P. Nor
ris had not beat him to 1t. Pinchot
has done more than write a poem. He
has made forestry an applied science
in this land that did know what
to do with a piece Of woodland except
to clear 1t off. He has taught US that
the presence or absence Of forests de-
termines the rain supply. In fact, he
has made us look upon the tree as q
friend and brother, not a mere awning
Or ornament. Many people have re-
garded him as the most useful man in
the world. That is what Roosevelt
used to think when he wanted to play
tennis and could not find any other
available partner. Mr.. Pinchot was
always ready to take a hand at the
game and thus became a far shining
