Illustrated by this fashion note from
West Africa taken from an Italian
newspaper:
For some time the officials of the
German colony in Southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts Of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange pre-
elections for articles of German COM
merce as, for example, rubber heels,
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 emperor's 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
round their illustrious necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings of
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages. and it came to light
that the white china insulators of the
telegraph poles had become earrings.
A young lady of the highest distinc-
ton In native society wore rubber
heel hanging from her nose. and a
young man who was a well known
dandy wore dangling from his ears
pair of beautiful pink silk carriers.

Its Action Followed by a Voice That
Warned.
patrick H. McCarren once told me
Of funny incident that happened in
Rome" said a Brooklyn lawyer. INC
Carren said that on his first visit to
Rome, after he had seen the Coliseum
and the Forum, he visited the Ara
Coeli church, on the left of the Capt.
toline hill He climbed the grand
stairway leading to the church, the
finest open air stairway in the world.
He pushed back the heavy leather cur
tain, and, entering, he found service
in progress. So he put his hat on the
marble floor at his side and took a
seat.
after ten minutes or so he decided
he would go and reached down for his
hat. But a restraining hand was laid
ON his, and he desisted. He knew, of
course, that some churches don't like
people to leave in the midst of a serv-
nee.
"Ten or fifteen minutes more passed.
The service still continued. Senator
McCarren got impatient and again
reached for his hat. But again the un-
seen hand restrained him from the
rear.
"a little later, however, the senator
quite lost patience. This was, he told
himself. an important service, OF
course. Nevertheless he did not pro-
pose to miss his luncheon, and it would
harm no one If he slipped out quietly.
$50 third time he reached for his
hat, and the invisible hand a third
time detained him. He persevered,
however. The silent hand pushed, and
his silent hand pushed against it. But

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

FIts WiSCTSTSs-
Men of genius are confessedly crea-
cures of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been real help to them
rather than a hindrance. Poe, it is
said, produced 1.-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 magma
ton wandered back to the stormy days
of his youth, endeavoring to extract
from the past a plant, 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-
eddy called to the bedside of a dying
friend. one of the few who had re-
manned faithful to him in adversely
and prosperity. Verdi at the sight Of
his dying friend felt IA lump rise in bis
throat. He wanted to weep. but so in
tense was his grief that not tear
flowed to the relief of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood piano.

There is more dust in the places H.
Illuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady. If you
look along beam Of light as it streams
through window or a chink In the
door you will see innumerable dus
particles dancing about In the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there is just as much dust in the non
Illuminated parts of the room as in the
more favored spaces, but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You vii
think that this is eminently plausible
but it is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents,
and these currents stir up the dust and
collect it in layers along the line of
light: hence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere. A Gu
rious experience in a museum gave
proof of this. 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbeamS
than on those which we're never touch
ed by the rays of the great orb, and
this led to an inquiry, with the above

package where it was for another
three years. she said to the clerk.
YES" said the clerk in answer to a
question after the woman left, that
packet had really been In our safe for
three years. Why, we have all sorts
of valuable papers, jewelry and even
money that are intrusted to our keep
ing for years at a time. People seem
to prefer hotel safe to safety de-
posit vault. One reason perhaps is that
1t costs nothing Another is that the
standard of hotel clerks has improved.
