The Assembly Of NotabIes.

The assembly Of the notables at Yer
sailles, Nov. 8. 1888, will ever stand
as one of the great landmarks in hui
man progress, not on account of itself,
but in consequence of what 1t led to.
Louis XVI, being in great financial
straits, had already called together the
big men Of his realm, but 1t is with
this second meeting Of the great ones
that history will ever be the most pro-
foundry concerned. The "notables,"
made up Of the nobility and aristoc-
yacy Of the realm, listened to their own
voices and displayed their gold lace
and vanity for something over
month and adjourned without doing
anything either for the king or the PEG
pie. Disguised with the stupidity and
Indifference Of the notables, Louis con-
voked the states general, which was
composed Of representatives Of the no
bility, clergy and third estate, or plain
people. Maddened by the contemptu-
GUS treatment they received at the
hands Of mobiles, the delegates of the
third estate organized themselves into
the national assembly, which In turn
organized the revolution.-New York

A "Primitive" Painter,

Henri Rousseau, man who used to
hold minor government position in
France, was for a quarter Of a cen
fury the Joke Of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some Of his famous" pictures
were Lady on a Sofa In Jungle"
a '"Tiger In Jungle" "Nigger In
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted Of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass: the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as If she had come out Of Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau we,

every year, and the painful thing W;
that he gradually became celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. II am real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length Of buying his pictures.

A characteristic story of John Bright
is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor in her
book, II Myself" He was at dinner
one night with an NJ. P. whose wife
by no means shared her husbands
democratic sentiments. John Bright
was sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having him
among her smart guests and thought
to give him a direct snub, so she said
during pause in the conversation:
"Mr Bright, this rug, l understand,

satisfied with it. I have only had It
a short time. and 1t is very shabby and
badly made"

What the Bows Ihouaht.

A prominent educator, talking to
class in an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate a point he
was making by problem In long dlvi-
sion, the intticacies of which the class
had just mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said:
Now, let us see how many times
this number will go into the other. Let
us try six" He tried six, and, as he
intended, six wouldn't do. well, let's
try five, then" he said. Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
Say, Bill, did a long whiskered,
baldheaded old Teller come into your
room today"
"Yep," replied Bill.
"And did he talk to your

"Well, SO he did to us, but the fun

C0NJURING BIRDS.

Trick sparrowsof Honskons and One
of Their Feats.
The famous Chinese conjuring birds
are Java sparrows. At street corners
In Hongkong sedate old Chinese may
be seen putting the birds through their
tricks for the benefit Of strangers.
Each birdcage has sliding door,
and just outside this is pack of little
cardcases, each containing a picture
and small pot holding half dozen
grains Of rice.
When the stranger, pursuant to the
suggestion of the owner, hands over
the necessary coin this is placed with
the pack of cards at the cage door.
Then the owner will undo the fasten-
Ing Of the door, The bird, eying the
coin, then the cards, then the coin
again, as If he thought his perform
ance too cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with
his beak, hops outside, draws card
from the pack and passes 1t TO his
master. He receives in reward one
grain of rice.
The man takes the little picture
from the case received from the bird
and hands 1t to the stranger to inspect
He then returns 1t to the case, accom-
panied by the tiniest fiat slip of bam-
boo. and shufiies the case up with the
rest Of the pack. The bird descends
and selects case, and the stranger

How can this be accounted for? The
only possible way of explaining Is
that the bamboo slip Is slightly scent

Little restaurants are scattered along
the cliff overlooking the bay Of Capri,
and here by the waters edge you can
sit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away
off in the distance or perhaps at the
water in the bay below.
The most beautiful water In the
world! The blue water OF the grotto
is more mystical, perhaps, but the wa
ter Of the bay Of Capri Is more ex
qulsite. 1t is wonderful pale green,
with greener, darker color streaked
through 1t. There is no other water
like 1t In all the world.
And here in the little restaurant you
sit and sit, gazing at the water below,
although you know in your heart you
ought to be seeing the rest Of the
place. But the water is so green and
beautiful that when the warning whis-
tie Of the Naples steamer blows you

a New Year Greeting.

Another year has rolled around aud
We stand on the threshold of new
year. It's portals are opening and We
are about to enter. What shall the
New Year bring to each one of us?
What of Joy or sorrow or pain These
things are all wisely hidden from our
view at present and we shall only learn
of them as we advance into the future
Ct 1911.
There are two ways of meeting the
future and what it has in store for us.
One is to prepare for it, the other to
drift with the current and let things
have their own way. A wise man pre-
pares for the journey before him, a
foolish one drifts with the tide.
OF many things We can do to control
in a measure coming events one is to
improve our time. We are all continu-
ally tempted to fritter away our energies
on round of petty activities, which
consume our time, exhaust our strength,
vet which, when done, leave US little
better off than we were before.
On the other hand, we all know of
sources of permanent mental and spirit
ual power, the mastery of some branch
of learning; the enjoyment of some
form of art; the accomplishment of
something really worth while, which
not only helps us as individuals, but
adds its quota to the sum of human life
Therefore let us resolve to improve oul
time during this new year. Let us
make the most of each hour Of the day,
getting all we can out of it. DR.. Davic
Star Jordan says the poorest use yor
can put time to is to kill it. Let VI
live for something worthy of life ant
its capabilities and opportunities fo
good. Every man and every woman
has his or her assignment in the duties
and responsibilities of daily life. W.
are in the world to make the world bet
ter to lift it up to higher levels of en-
joyment and progress, to make its heart
- and homes brighter and happier by de
voting to our fellows our best thoughts
activities and influence. 1t is tn
motto of every true heart and the geniu
of every noble life that "no man hvetI
to himself"-lives simply for his ow
selfish good. 1t is law of our intel
lectual and moral being that we pre-
mote our own happiness in the exac
proportion that we contribute to tn
. comfort and enjoyment of Others
Nothing worthy of the name of happ
ness is possible to the experience o
those who live only for themselves, al
obvious of the welfare of their fellows.
Let us resolve, therefore, that thi
new year upon which we are now enter
ing shall be the best year of our lives

community; best in its effect on our

agitated as means of booming the

OF the most beautiful post card views in
the world are taken. Sending these
views to our city friends is very easy
and very convincing way of substan-

One Of the finest examples Of paw
ky" humor is placed to the credit Of
an old gardener who was in the serv-
ice Of Admiral Of the Fleet Sir Alex
ander Milne. The admiral was a
grand old man, full of goodness and
kindness, but a strict disciplinarian.
The gardener having omitted to do
something which he had been told to
do, his master said to him:
when was on board ship would
have had you put in irons for disobe-
dience"
The old gardener was not much per.
turbed at the idea, but, leaning on his
spade, replied:

The Curious Electric Eel.

The electric eel, which is common In
the streams of Brazil. is possessed OF
a natural electric battery-a tremen-
dOus one. Beneath the skin are two
pairs Of peculiar little bodies passing
longitudinally along the muscles and
near the tail One pair is next to the
back and the other near the lower I'm.
These bodies are made up Of great
number of little cells, two or three hun
dred of them, and plentifully supplied
with nerves. Examination OF one OF
these electrical organs has shown that
in action 1t is very much like gal
vanic battery, with the anterior ex-
tremely positive, the posterior mega
tive and the current only discharged
at the point of contact with an object.
This has been proved to be 30 power

A Bad Habit.

1t is still week and more to the
New Year and we may be forcing the
season bit, but at this early day "The
Courant" wants to suggest resolution
for 1911. 1t belongs to 1910 equally,
but there are only few days left for it
in this year and it should have full play.
That resolution is to quit grumbling
Cheer up 1t has become business
habit to talk the situation down. Ask
man how business is, and the chances
are that he will give you a melancholy
answer. Ask him how his own bust
ness is, and the chances are that he will
acknowledge that "just now" it is pretty
good, but that does not prevent the
country from going to the devil. When
the year ends and he foots up the re-
suits he finds he has done we'll, better
than he thought; but that does not
stand in the way of kicking about the
outlook: "We'reTin bad way, and the
business interests will not stand for it,"
This is very largely habit. Some
philosophers attribute it to dyspepsia
and attribute dyspepsia to prosperity.
They may have some foundation for
their theory. But the plain fact is
that, whatever the cause, the condition
is not creditabe. We ought to be
thankful for what success comes our
way, instead Of grumbling at what we
have and demanding more in an un-
grateful spirit.-Hartford Courant.

Tho Roman Forum.

The Forum was originally a market
place and only by degrees became the
center of Roman civic and political
life. About B. G. 470 II became the
place of assembly of the people In
their tribes and was gradually adorn-
ed with temples and other great pub
lie buildings. The Roman Forum-the
Acropolis at Athens alope excepted
Is perhaps the most thrillingiy inter
esting spot ON earth to such as know
and appreciate the teachings Of his
tory. From the Forum came the au-
gust laws which governed the then
known world for more than a thou

oriain ofthe opsra.

The opera, like nearly everything
else interesting in the world of mind,
had its origin in ancient Athens. The
earliest librettos were by Sophocles
and Aeschylus, such as the "Abamem-
non" and "Antigone," band Of flutes
and Tyres constituting the orchestra,
the dialogues being unsteady declaim-
ed and the choruses sung to the best
music Of the time. Thus do we have
the germ of all later developments in
the line of opera.-Exchange.
