Lord Hrouaham's Oratory.

We have no orator in the least like
Lord Brougham since the close of
Brougham's public career. Everything
that nature could do so far as appear
ance. manner and voice were concern
ed she had done to prevent him from
being a great orator. and yet great
orator he undoubtedly was. / wonder
what the house of lords just now
would think Of a peer who gesticu-
lated and beloved as Brougham was
in the habit Of doing. But 1t was i'm
possible to listen to Brougham and
not be carried away by the force Of
his intellect. by his torrent Of words.
by the sudden whirl and eddy Of his
rapid Illustrations and by the longer
and shorter stretches of Quietude and
repose into which his argument occa-
sionally fowed.-From Justin McCar.

Fearless Queen Sor!,ie,

In 1860, when the combined armies
tackled Gaeta, Queen Sophie of Naples
conducted the defense. her husband,
Francis H., being utterly unnerved.
Most Of her time was spent upon the
ramparts. where she remained during
the hottest fire. She was absolutely
without fear. Once when bomb burst
IN the room where she was dining with
her husband and his suit she walked to
a mirror that hung on the wall and, no.
ticing that her hair was whitened by
the plaster the bomb had scattered, re-
marked: What a pity powdered heads
are out Of fashion! White hair suits
me admirably"

CUTTING HIS PANTS.
A Funny Mans Criticism Of tho Sas.

toriaI Artists Efforts.
When a tailor puts you on the meas
uring box, with a man guarding the
door so that you can't get away and
another making d book on the game,
he reels off something like this as be
! goes about you with his measuring
tape: "13-2-11-16-S-A-

ders-16-What was that last, Jimmie.
did / say? Oh, make it % in the mid
dle-What did you say your name
was, mister"
Now, nobody can make any combi.
nation Of the foregoing figures which
| will spell anything like a decent pair
Of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them in his later OPP
| erations. He knows the pants won't
| fit, anyhow, so what's the use? If
you watch him you will discover that
| he usually takes up some other mans
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out of that particular gar
ment on which he puts your name
Having selected from the mass of
90
which suits him, he goes behind his
| counter, yawns, looks in the glass,
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar and at
| last picks UP a thing which looks like
a board rule, with curve in the cor
/ ner like hockey stick. If you are
not watching him he will probably
| cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but if
! you insist upon inspection he'll make
pretense of scientific use of this in
| strument, whose real nature or pur-
pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor is thinking of as he
| begins to make chalk marks in a piece
| Of blue paper, using this rule as
straight edge, is the 10y ride" he is
COINS to have with Marie in his new
| auto that evening. 1t makes no diff
! ference to him whether the chalk slips
| or not, nor is it important how far
along this or that angle he allows the
| straight or curved line TO run. He
| knows they are not going to fit, any
| how, so why should he bother about il
| overmuch? The only hope YOU can
possibly have meantime is the one
raised in your bosom when the tailor,
from behind the counter. looks up and
| says: Jimmie, why in the world
didn't you mark the name on this
gents pants? Oh, we'll, never mind"
The tailor goes on making several
cute little pictures on the blue paper
by aid OF this curved thing, which has
numbers scattered along it here and
! there. He draws in several isoscles
| triangles, converging at more or less
the same point; but, not liking the
looks Of these, he rubs out some of the
lines and tries over again Then he
forgets which ones he rubbed out. 1t
makes no difference anyhow. At last
/ he stands off. critically gazes upon the
pattern which he has been casting,
makes a hit or miss crosswise dab
with the chalk-which determines,
wholly by chance, how long your pants
are going to be-and smiles to himself.

The six follies of science are the
squaring of the circle. perpetual mo-
ton. the philosophers stone. the elixir
of life. magic aud astrology.
In all ages men Of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connect.
ed with these fascinating problems. II
is not always remembered that such
intellectual giants as Bacon. Sir Rob
ert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone. In the study
of astrology Lilly was for time ever
pensioned by parliament.
Most of these "follies" conferred In

covered many another. The craze fo
the secret, or unknown. has still IL

A Beautiful Lake.

Perhaps the most striking instance
to be seen in the whole world of the
wonderful apparent coloring of bodies
of water is the marvelously beautiful
Blue lake in Switzerland. Encom-
passed on all sides by lofty mountains,
their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed
with verdure down to the edge of the
water and adorned with many fine for
est trees. while their higher activities
are garbed In mantle of eternal snow,
the little lake. nesting in It's deep hol'
low basin and protected from winds
and storms. is quite startling In Its
singular and strange beauty. The
water. although really pure and color
less. appears to he of a most vivid and
intense sky blue. And its transparency
is so remarkable that a small nicke
coin dropped into the water in th'
center of the lake can be seen gyrat
ing downward until It reaches the bot
tom. apparently more than hundred
