The Illusion of Might.

l sometimes fancy that every great
city must have been built by night
At least it is only at night that every
part of a great city is great All archi-
lecture is great architecture after sun
set. Perhaps architecture is really q
nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.
At least / think many people of those
nobler trades that work by night Gour-
nalists, policemen, burglars, coffee stall
keepers and such mistaken enthusiasts
as refuse to go home till morning.

black bulk of building with crown OF

Mohamed Ali has taken refuge in the
Russian summer legation at zerzende
where he is under the protection Of de-
tachments of cossacks and sepoys,
despatched to Zerzende by the Russian
and British diplomatic representatives.
The new shah is yet in his minority,
and Azad I'll Mulk, head of the Kajar

The new shah is twelve years old.
Arrangements have been made to send
him to England to be educated.

Milk on a Stick.

In winter time milk goes to the buy
er in a chunk instead of quart, says
Glasgow paper. The people in Sibe-
ria buy their milk frozen, and for con
venience it is allowed to freeze about
stick, which comes as a handle to
carry it by. The miIkman leaves one
chunk or two chunks, as the case may
be, at the houses of his customers
The children in Irkutsk, instead Of cry
ing for drink of milk, cry for bite
of milk The people in winter time dc
not say, BE careful not to spill the
milk but BE careful not to break
the milk" Broken milk is better than
spilled milk, though, because there is
an opportunity to save the pieces. A
quart of frozen milk on a stick is a
very formidable weapon in the hand OF
an angry man or boy, as it is possible
to knock person down with it. Ir-
kutsk people hang their milk on hooks
instead Of putting it in pans, though,
of course, when warm spring weather
comes on they have to use the pans or
pals as the milk begins to melt and
drop down the hooks.

Eludina the Officers.

Here is an amusing description of
one of Balzac's periods of impecunios-
ity. Merry, the poet, great friend of
Balzac. was an inveterate gambler
and rarely left the card table before
daybreak. His way lay past the Cafe
de Paris, and for four consecutive
mornings he had met Balzac strolling
leisurely up and down dressed in a
pantalon pieds trousers not termi-
mating below the ankle, but with feet
in them like stockings and frock coat
with velvet facings The second morn
ing Merry felt surprised at the coinci-
dence: the third he was puzzled; the
fourth he could hold out no longer and
asked Balzac the reason of these noe
turnal ORGANIZATIONS roundabout the
same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket
and produced an almanac showing that
the sun did not rise before $50. II am
being tracked by the officers of the
tribunal de commerce and obliged to
hide myself during the day, but at this
hour am free and can take walk,
for as long as the sun is not up they
cannot arrest me-"

Feats That Never Happened.

grotesque and foolish view of the
west leads many who are not ac-
qualnled with that part of the country
TO perpetrate amusing plumbers re-
ga. aIng the possibilities of the typical
western weapons, the rife and the six
shooter. 70 shoot an animals eye out
at a hundred PAGES is a common feat
IN wild west literature. Sometimes it
is done with six shooter-in type. not
anywhere else OF course. no man
can see the eye of an animal that far
have had good rifieman tell me he
could cut off a robins head at a hun
dred steps. The truth is that he could
not see the head clearly that far You
read that the desperate Slade could
with six shooter at fifty or sixty
steps hit a man in any button of his
coat that he chose, but you may be
sure that neither Slade nor any one
else could do anything of the kind
Even trick and fancy shooting at its
best could ever cover feats ascribed as

fiction who never saw the frontier.

Tax on Hats.

Not only have hats at various times
been subject to taxation, but have even
been made the subject of special laws.
Thus in Henry Wis reign none was
allowed to sell hats at a larger price
than 20 pence or caps for more than
IS. Sd. Some compensation, however,
for this interference with free trade
could be found In the fact that in 1871
on Sundays and holidays every one
above seven years of age was required
to wear a cap of wool of English make
under penalty of 3 farthings fine for
every days neglect London Chronicle
