Marion Crawrofti I had known since
be was lad OF fourteen years. I, too,
was a youngster IN those days. We
were living in New Jersey town
and he came there to visit his aunt.
Mrs. Adolphe Maillard, a sister of Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe. Although he came
from Italy he dressed as an English
lad, with high hat. Eton jacket, wide
collar and long trousers. You can im.
agine the sensation that he made In
that quiet New Jersey town. We had
had kings and princes as our neigh.
bors. but a young boy In high hat
was unknown to us and therefore much
more Of novelty. From those days.

fellow can do anything he cares to-" I
Remarked after he left the office. SO
we let him write. He wrote book re-
views. editorials and even poetry. and
after that he wrote "Mr. lsaacs." You
know the rest. From that on II was
easy enough. He won out and we
knew that. though we had given him
the chance he wanted at the time that
he wanted It, he would have found It
quick enough anywhere else. But he
never forgot what he chose to regard

Cats meat is the only survival Of a
way Of serving meat that prevailed in
this country before the Introduction
Of forks. for 1t was the custom In
medieval times to serve roast meat on
a spit and to pass 1t around the table
for each guest to cut off what he
liked, method that did not allow one
person only to secure the carver's tit
bits. In France one still finds chicken
lIvers and bacon served on small spits.

continued to prefer fingers to table

What Forty Poles Make.

A good story is told about certain
professor whose business 1t was to lec-
ture to number Of students on sur
veying. During one Of the lectures the
professor said that In his opinion the
pole was OF little or no value. To the
astonishment OF those present Polish
gentleman arose and after accusing the
professor or Insulting his -countrymen
demanded an apology.
The professor thereupon explained
that the pole TO which he referred was
merely term of measurement. The
Polish gentleman. seeing his mistake.
asked the professor to forgive his ap.
parent rudeness. To this the professor
smartly'replied:
'You could not be rude. sir, even IL
you tried. for 1t takes forty poles to
make one rood"-London Mail.

IDLY WANDERING.
When the ovsrwrousht Worker Cute
Loose From Care.

Loose From Care.
When n business man suffers from
overstrain or student from over
work. sometimes, instead OF taking to
bed. he disappears. Suddenly he Is
missfng, oall trace Of him lost. His
fnmily and friends invariably fear the
worst They imagine he has met with
accident and is lying unconscious in
hospital or has parted with his wits
and is confined in an asylnm or has
even taken his own life.
These things are all possible, but the
probable thing is none of them. The
probable thing is that the overwrought
man has yielded to natural impulse
and instinctively has sought cure by
becoming wanderer for the time. He
has put the cares Of the old life be-
hind him and with them the people
that recall the old life and has given
himself up to the healing of the road.
To drift with no well defined object,
to see strange places and faces, ever
to answer the Gull of the beyond-''tlie
ferne," as the Germans call it--is more
than dream lying somewhere in the
back Of every mans mind, where It
was lodged by some ancestor of the
nomad period; 1t is one of natures
own remedies for the worries OF life.
For the man with great sorrow
for the man with troubled con-
science, for the man whose nerves are
not treating him right, travel, change
Of scene. is one Of the things the wise
physician will prescribe. II It be a
veritable tramp afoot the cure will be
speedier and more complete and may
work physical regeneration into the
bargain.--New York Mail.

FIRST ORANGES IN EUROPE.

At time when tiny orange trees
are to be seen as table decorations
and oranges innumerable are for
sale, it is not inappropriate to trace
the introduction of the fruit into
Europe According to a Paris con-
temporary, after it's introduction in
to Europe from China a Carthagen-
ian conceived the idea of grating the
yellow mandarin orange upon the
grenadier, with the result that we
have the blood orange. Jean de
Castro introduced the orange from
the West Indies to Portugal, and the
first attempt to cultivate it was made
by the Constable de Bourbon, but af-
ter his revolt Francis I continued the
experiments At the time Louis XIV
visited Toulon the Chevalier Paul, in
compliment to the king, placed some
preserved oranges on trees in the
orangery. Ladies in the retinue, it
is added, were under the impression
that these oranges grew sugared.-
