Van Dycks That Were Forseries.

Tue trial Of art dealers at Genoa for
smuggling seven famous Van Dycks
from the Cattaneo palace has resulted
in an acquittal- 1t was proved that
siy OF the pictures had never left the
E&Ia e. liIe smuggled works of art be-
ing forgeries. This recalls the out
burst of Indignation In Italy some
years ago concerning Raphael which
was secretly conveyed to America for
a well known millionaire. That it
was genuine Raphael the most skill
full experts in the United States had
no doubt, and it bore the great artists
unmistakable signature. But, much to
Italy's relief, a closer examination Of
the canvas proved 1t to be clever
forgery, which was afterward traced
to a studio in Rome whose "old mas
tiers" were turned out by the dozen

Ne M;oht Have Married.

Fitz-Greene Halleck never married,
yet, as Mr.. Howe reminds US in his
American Bookman, he could not have
been without attractions, for cerpsin
superior lady is reported to have de-
clared:
"If 1 were on my way to church to
be married, yes, even if l were walk
ing ap the aisle, and Halleck were to
offer himself, I'd leave the man l had
promised to marry ard take him."
To this perhaps should be joined his
epigram, written for young lady who
had asked for his autograph:
There wanted but this drop to fill
The wifeless poets cup of fame.
aurrahi There lives a;lady still
Willing to take his name.

The Eourmilion.

"there is little insect that throws
sand, and its volleys slay. They CO.! It
the fourmilion. The .fourmilion digs
itself funnel shaped hole Of the cir
cumference Of silver dollar. 1t lies
hidden and watchful in the bottom of
this hole, and when a spider or ant or
beetle comes cautiously prospecting
down the steep and slippery sides the
lnhospitable fourmilion launches upon
its guest volley after volley of sand-a
hail of stinging sand so abundant, so
suffocating, so binding that the visitor
loses his head. He rolls unconscious
for the nonce to the bottom of the
hole, and the fourmilion calmly dis
members him before he has time to
come to himself again and puts him
in the larder for the next meal"

rha Etder Robert Fulton.

Robert Fulton was born at Little
Britain, Lancaster county, Pa, Nov.
IA, 1865. His biographers have called
him "a self made man" and have.
made but brief reference to his par
entage. 1t is noteworthy that his fa-
ther, the senior Robert Fulton, in a
failure to leave financial patrimony to
his children has not been accorded the
mention Of other achievements, not
slight in those primitive days. His an
cestors crossed from Scotland to ire
land prior to the time of Cromwell.
From Kilkenny, Ireland, the Fulton
family came to America before the
year 1875. The senior Robert Fulton
was among the prominent men OF
Lancaster, his name having been on
record upon all the town organizations
which existed at that period. He was
a founder Of the Presbyterian church,
the secretary of the Union Fire COM
pany and q charter member of the
Juliana library of Lancaster, the third
library established in the American
colonies.-Century.

3lRIoon,,,a, &, hut to Die.

The taltput palm Corypha umbracu-
lifera) Of Ceylon, whose leaves are put
to such numerous uses by the Cinga-
lese, bears fruit but once during It's
life. This elegant tree measures about
ten feet round the trunk and attains a
height of about $50 feet. The flowers,
the appearance of which presages
death to the tree, are inclosed in tall
spathe which bursts with a loud re-
port, disclosing a huge plume of beau
tiful blossom. The inforescence is sue
ceeded by equally conspicuous punches
of fruit. When these have ripened the
tree withers rapidly and in the course
of fortnight may be seen PROSTATE

Unique Straw Hat.

The proprietor of a fashionable cafe
at Marienbad is the possessor CT a
straw hat which he values at $1,000
The hat is not q costly variety Of pan
anna, but is rather rough looking
straw hat. Yet it Is the pride Of the
proprietor's life because 1t is woven
Of straws through which the crowned
heads of Europe have at various times
sucked cooling drinks dispensed in the
owners establishment. For many
years this king worshiper had been
collecting straws from the royal lips,
scorning mere mobiles or statesmen.
When the collection was large enough
the hat was manufactured.
