Propounded In Prose, It Was Answered
In Rhyme.
In the olden time before the war,
the days so famous for generous hos
pitality IN the south, brilliant party
was assembled at dinner in a beau
tiful country homestead. Across the
table wit flashed back and forth, and
the guests began to vie with one an
other in proposing conundrums.
Mr.. Alexander IL. stephens offered
one which puzzled the whole company,
"What is It that we eat at breakfast
and drink at dinner?'
For some time no answer came, and
the bright eyes of the southern orator
began to sparkle with triumph. when
Colonel Johnson, taking up the Com
monplace Book" of the hostess, which
lay conveniently by, wrote impromptu
upon the fiyleaf the following answer:

For some time the officials of the

noticed that the telegraph wires and

diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts Of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange pre-
dilections for articles of German COM

garters, buckles, and so forth, things
which the natives of those countries do
not generally use.
The governor of the colony gave an
entertainment one year in honor of
the emperors birthday and invited the
chiefs of the different tribes to It,
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted

Inquiries were soon started in the

CAUGHT THE MOOD.
The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere.r


Men of genius are confessedly crea-
lures of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been real help to them
rather than hindrance. Poe, it is
said. produced "The Raven" while sit
ting at the bedside Of his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote of
Verdi, told by Carlo Ceccarelli, will
suffice.
On one occasion when Verdi was en-
Gagged on his well known opera, I'll
Trovatore," he stopped short at the
passage of the "Miserere," being at a
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness and pathos to express the grief
of the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano in the deep still
ness of the winter night, his imaglna-
tion wandered back to the stormy days
of his youth, endeavoring to extract
from the past a plant, a groan, like
those which escaped from his breast
when he saw himself forsaken by the
world All in vain!
One day at Milan he was unexpect'
edly called to the bedside Of dying
friend, one of the few who had re-
mained faithful to him in adversely
aud prosperity. Verdi at the sight of
his dying friend felt lump rise in bis
throat. He wanted to weep, but so in
tense was his grief that not teal
flowed to the relief of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood piano
Verdi, under one of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men of genius are
sometimes subject, sat down at the in
strument and there and then impro
vised the sublime "Miserere" of th'
"Trovatore" The musician had giveI
utterance to his grief.

There is a curious parallelism be-

hear that my county is moving at last.

COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
One Of the Ancient Seven Wonders Of
the World.

the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy OF copper which is known Is
bronze. Among the seven wonders o.
the world was the famous statue,
wholly made of bronze, historically
known as the Colossus of Rhodes. II
represented Phoebus. the national del
ty of the Rhodians. 1t was begun by
Chares, a pupil of Lysippus, the sculp-
tor. and was completed by Laches 2SS
B. c. The popular belief is that 1t
stood astride the harbor Of Rhodes,
that it was 105 feet high and that
ships could easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates.
afterward joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into its head, and in great mirror
SUSPENDED to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for slxty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that Is, until
A. d. GT2-when they were sold by the
Saracens to dealer. The original
cost was 800 talents-about $6,OO0,O 600
and it is not too much to say that a
similar image might be constructed
now in one-fourth of the time and AT
one-thlrd of the original cost. Rhodes
by the way. must have had colossus
ON the brain. for Pliny relates that the
port was adorned with 1000 colossal
statues of the sun.

The finding of flies and butterflies
a 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 plague of flies over
took the vessel on which he was steam
ing. The cabin was so full of them
that the beams were backened, Com
mon black houseflies they were for
the most part, with, however, good
sprinkllng of large green dies, Where
they could have come from was n mys-
terry. but they were terrible nuisance
and, although those on board swept OIL
hundreds in net, their numbers were
not senslbly diminished, Another sin
Gular circumstance was that, although
no land was in sight, large dragon
flies repeatedly few across the ship
and large dark butterfly was obserY
ed to fit across in the direction OF the
nearest land. quite thirty miles away
without stopping to rest on the vesse
at all.-London Globe.

my sister came up and put her hand
on my shoulder and said, My deal
boy, you had better give that up, and
so I did" He also told me that he
began life as a sailor, then went to the
bar and finally entered the army. The
only profession he had not tried was
the church, and his enemies say ne
would have tried that. only he did no
know what church to cboose.-"Llt'

LONDON THEATERS.
The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.

The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.
The first difference | always find be-
tween going to the play in London ana
in New York is that in New YORK the
man who has paid for seat is made
to feel that he is patron of the house,
while In London he is greeted by the
staff of the theater not exactly as an
intruder. but as necessary evil They
appreciate that an audience is neces-
sary evil. but sooner than have one
they would almost prefer to close the
house.
In London for that Importantly stra-
tegic outpost of ticket taker an old
man of eighty is always employed.
You think this Is accident. but 1t Is
not. Old age naturally suggests falling
eyesight and when he keeps you wait
ing in the foyer while he examines
your ticket and assures himself that 1t
is not a laundry bill or n motor bus re-
ceipt you attribute the delay to his old
ewes. But in OBTAINING you he has n
motive. Standing at his elbow, scowl-
ing darkly. there always is another
man, apparently plain clothes out
from Scotland Yard. uncomfortably
disguised In evening dress. And while
the aged ticket taker pretends to scru-
nitize your ticket the lookout man
scans you. You cannot escape his eye
He never sleeps No American, nc
matter how reckless. can hope to pass
that man with concealed bomb or 4
revolver or wearing a white tie with q
| dinner coat.-Collier's.

HOW LONG IS A DAY?
Some Of the Worlds Inhabitants Eat
315 Meals During One.


II we should meet man and he
should casually remark that he ate
315 meals yesterday we would doubt
less be somewhat ustonished ut his ap-
petite. Likewise we would feel sorry
for the man who said that having
foolishly eaten three eggs with bacon
for breakfast, he had no appetite for
his Christmas dinner. But maybe the
first man was from Spitzbergen, where
they have day three and a half
months In length, whereas the poor
chap who missed the Christmas feast
lived in Finland, at Torena, where
Christmas day is something less than
three hours long.
On the whole. 1t would be rather
wise IL one should undertake to do
certain work, TO receive so much per
day In payment, to understand just
where the work is to be done, else one
might have to labor eighteen and n

the fair. green things of life. In
the shelter of the crags, at the
base of the monastery walls. look
ing out over the sunlit valley, one
has his luncheon and his snack Of
spirits quite undisturbed, for the
monks pay no heed to him. They
are not hospitable, neither are
they unfriendly. One seldom
sees them.
Truxton King and Mr.. Hobbs
were not long in disposing of
their lunch. 1t was too cold for
comfort in their draughty dining
room, and they were not invited
to enter the inhospitable gates. In
half an hour they were vending
their way down the north side of
the peak by gradually declining
roads, headed for the much-talk-
ed-of home of the Witch in Gan
look Gap, some six miles from
Edelweiss as the crow flies, but
twice that distance over the tor
tuous bride paths and post
roads.
1t was three O'Clock when they
clattered down the stone road
and up to the forbidding vale in
which lurked, liked an evil, guilty
thing, the log-built home of that
ancient female who made no Sc
cret of her practices in witch
craft. The hut stood back from
the mountain road hundred
yards or more, at the head of a
small, thicket-grown recess.
A low, matched roof protruded
from the hill against which the
hut was built. AS a matter OF
fact, a thin chimney grew out of
the earth itself, for all the world
like a smoking tree stump. The
howell was a squalid, beggary
thing that might have been built
over night somewhere back in the
dark ages. Its single door was
so low that one was obliged to
stoop to enter the little room
where the dame had been holding
forth for three-score years, twas
said. This was her throne-room,
her dining-room, her bed-ehamber,
her all, it would seem, unless one
had been there before and knew
that her kitchen was beyond, in
the side of the hill. The one win
dow, sans glass, looked narrowly
out upon an odd opening in the
foliage below, giving the occupant
of the hut an unobstructed view
of the winding road that led up
from EdelweisS. The door faced
the monastery road down which
the two men had just ridden. AS
for the door yard, it was no more
than a pebbly, avalanche-swept
opening among the trees and
rocks, down which in the glacial
age perhaps thousand torrents
had leaped, but which was now so
dry and white and lifeless that
one could only think of bones
bleached and polished by a sun
that had sickened of the work a
thousand years ago.
