His UnIueky Day.

Even the least superstitious are often
struck by the misfortunes which at
tend some persons on certain dates. A
large firm in the city has in its en-
ploy a living instance of the fact. On
June IL an employee lost his left arm
by coming in contact with machinery.
The accident disabled him for his then
employment. and he was given that
of a messenger. On another June II
he was run over In the Strand while
on an errand. Result. broken leg.
The next accident was a fall on the
stairs In the firms buildings-again
June 12-the right arm broken this
time. The fourth mishap on another
anniversary broke three ribs. The
firm took the case into consideration
and issued an order that IN future the
employee was to take a holiday on
that date, an order with which he has
now complied for several years.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

BASHFUL STANLEY.
Hls Response to a Speech of EuIoey at
Banquet.

a Banquet.
William H. Rideing tells IN Nc
Clure's Magazine of a dinner of the
Papyrus club In Boston at which Hen
~ NJ. Stanley, the explorer. was the
guest of honor:
Whether he Stanley sat or stood,
he fdgeted and answered In monosyl-
lables-not because he was unamiable
or unappreciative, but because he-this
man of iron, Gods instrument, whose
word In the field brooked no contradic-
ton or evasion, he who defied obsta-
cles and danger and pierced the heart
Of darkness-was bashful even in the
company of fellow craftsmen.
His embarrassment grew when aft
er dinner the chairman eulogized him
to the audience. He squirmed and
averted his face as cheer after cheer
confirmed the speakers rhetorical ebul-
Hence Of praise. Gentlemen, intro

ut was supposed that he was look
ing for his notes, and more applause
took the edge OF the delay. His mouth
twitched without speech for another
awkward minute before, with more
erect bearing, he produced the object
of his search and put 1t on his head.
1t was not paper, but rag Of cap,
and with that on he faced the COM

all that could be expected of him and

Flies at Sea.

The finding of flies and butterflies
long way out at sea is perhaps to
most readers a fact not very well
known. A recent traveller in the trop-
les relates that when thirty miles
out from land a plague Of flies over
took the vessel on which he was steam
ing. The cabin was so full of them
that the beams were blackened. Com
mon black housefiies they were for
the most part, with, however, good
sprinkling of large green flies. Where
they could have come from was mys-
terry. but they were terrible nuisance.
and, although those on board swept of
hundreds in a net, their numbers were
not sensibly diminished. Another sin
gular circumstance was that, although
no land was In sight, large dragon
flies repeatedly few across the ship.
and a large dark butterfly was observ-
ed to fit across in the direction Of the
nearest land. quite thirty miles away.
without stopping to rest on the vessel
at all.-London Globe.

A Costly Funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
of Alexander the Great. A round mil
lion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed in a
coffin of gold filed with costly aro-
mates, and a diadem was placed on
the head. The funeral car was embel-
lished with ornaments Of pure gold.
and its weight was so great that it
took eighty-four mules more than a
year to convey it from Babylon to

Some of the most peculiar of taxa

archives of Holland. In 1871. for in
stance, there was in existence a tax
imposed on all passengers travelling in
Holland. In 1874 duty of shiIlings
was levied on each person who entered
q tavern before noon. on those who en-
tered O place of entertainment. on mar
riages and deaths and on many other

The Parthenon.

The destruction Of that famous
building the Parthenon took place In
1857 during the siege of Athens by
the Venetians. The Turks held the
city, and the Parthenon was used for
a powder magazine. One day during
the conflict Venetian bombshen drop
ped into the building. and the explo-
sion followed which badly shattered
the structure. From that date the re-
nowned building has stood rootiess and
exposed to all the inclemencies of the
weather. For more than 1000 years
the temple stood entire, and in its
ruins is the architectural wonder Of
the world.-New York American.

nWindow Leaves.u

In South Africa DR.. R. Marloth dis
covered six species of plants possess
ing what are styled window leaves.
They are all stemless succulents, and
the egg shaped leaves are inbedded
in the ground, only the apexes re-
naming visible. This visible part Of
the leaves is fat or convex on the sur
face and colorless, so that the light
can penetrate it and reach the interior
Of the leaf below, which is green on
the inside With the exception of the
blunt apex, no part Of the leaf is
permeable TO the light being surround
ed by the soil in which it is buried.

Alcohol and Consumption.
DR.. Jacques Bertillon. the well

the connection OF alcohol and tubercu-
.losis.
DR., Bertillon says that Of the causes
which in France favor the develop

is the alcohol In beer n spirits.
He declares. however. that the best
enemy OF tuberculosis Is wine. In the
twenty-eight departments which form
the northern part OF France cider.
beer, spirits-especially brandy-are
much drunk. The deaths caused by
consumption were 23O e l0o.NOO in
habitants In 1906 while the proper
ton was no in the other depart
ments OF France where wine Is the
favorite drink.
After the age of thirty. he says, con-
sumption is twice or three times more
frequent among men than women. un-
doubtedly because the drinking Of al
cohol is more common with the form
er than with the latter.
To combat consumption, DR.. Rer-
tillon says. I'VE must combat alcohol.

this is to encourage the drinking Of
wine and discourage the drinking Of
