VENTILATING A COAL MINE

TO PREVENT SEASIcKNESS
Henry sidswiek Stood on the Dock

An unusual preventive against sea-
sickness is mentioned in the life of
Henry Sidgwick. "Sir George Trev-

him in bad weather, and during the
whole passage. Sidgwick stood on
deck reciting English poetry with
emphasis and gesticulations slowly
to himself. He had explained be-
fore starting that this singular prac-
tise had been recommended to him
as a preventive against seasickness
When they reached France he told
Trevelyan that he had nearly got. to
the end Of his English poetry, and
if the voyage had been longer would
have had to begin on other lam
guages. Trvelyan carefully tested
the speed of recitation by q watch,
and estimated that about 1000 lines
had been recited between Dover and

THOUGHT THAckERAY A SN0B
Notorious Tuft Hunter Did Not Detect
the Irony In Retort Made by the
Great Novelist.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions of himself by often in
dulging in irony in the presence OF
people incapable of understanding
it. One curious instance is this: He
had been dining at the Garrick and
was talking in the smoking room
after dinner with various club ac-
quaintances. One of them happen
ing to have left his cigar case at
home, Thackeray, though disliking
the man, who was notorious tuft
hunter, good naturally offered him
one. of his cigars. The man accept
ed the cigar, but, not finding it to
his liking, had the bad taste to say !:
Il say, Thackeray, YOU won't mind
my saving | don't think much of
this cigar" Thackeray, no doubt
irritated at the mans ungracious-
ness, quietly responded "You ought
to, my good fellow, for it was given
me by lord" Instead, however,
of detecting the irony. the dolt i'm
mediately attributed the remark to
snobbishness on Thackeray's part,
and went about declaring that
''Thackeray had boosted that he had
been given a cigar by lord. Lon

DINNER MIsHAP.

Dreadful was the embarrassment
of debutante who was pushed so
vigorously against the table at her
first dinner that she spilled claret
from every glass at the table.
The hostess took it well, though
she could doubtless have murdered
the girls dinner partner, but she
heaved a sigh for her best table
cloth-for claret makes a bad stain.
The man redeemed his fault by
quietly rubbing the spot in front Of
his place with salt until it almost
entirely disappeared. His partners
attention attracted, she, too, started
a salt rub. Soon all the guests at
the table were laughingly doing the
same, until by the end of the din
ner scarcely a trace could be found
of the spilled wine.

OLD MALTA is INTERESTING
Historical objects and Other Traces
Of the Stormy Existence Of Island
In the Mediterranean.

Changing hands 80 often through
the ages as Malta has done, it is not
surprising that the place presents
many traces of its stormy existence.
The chief are those associated with
the rule of the Knights Of St. John,
while the most magnificent is the ca
thedral of st. John of Jerusalem,
with the banners Of the knights float
ing in dim religious light. His
torical objects Of another kind are
to be found in the church of San
Public, where, in vault beneath
the building are preserved the en-
balmed bodies of number of monks,
which the curious may inspect but
not touch. A second exhibit of this
character is to be seen in the Chapel
of Bones in st. Johns cathedral,
where there is grotto decorated
with thousands of heads and cross
bones. Elsewhere the first touch of
the approaching east is seen in the
quaintness of the dresses, in the
'Fhood of shame" worn by the wom-
en- as a reminder of the French oc-
cupation, In the diminutiveness Of
the ponies and the polished roofs
and flowing sunblinds of the car
riages, in the cheapness of the res
taurants and the dead-white COM
plexion of all the buildings. At the
moment of arrival perhaps the most
striking feature is the train which
carries the casual visitor to the old
capital of the island. It is both
primitive and ramshackla, and is
composed of the discarded stock of
many systems. 1t moves SO slowly
that passengers get into and leave
the carriages anywhere en- route
without stopping the train. In the
tunnels the first-class passengers are
supplied with candles for their own
illumination, while those of the
third class are left to sit In darkness

ARE SNAKES FOND OF MUSIC?
Scientist Have Been Trying to Learn
Whether They Really Appreciate
the Sounds Of Harmony.

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have really any appreciation
of music. This applies particularly
to the cobra, which responds to the
piping of gourd instrument played
bv the East Indian fakir with a
rhythmic movement suggesting a
dance. The conclusion seems to be
that it answers to the musical notes
much in the same way as dog
does-that is to say, through a spe-
cies of nervous sympathy. When
the whistles blow at noon in the
Bronz ZOO the wolves set up great
bowling in concert. Whether or not
they enjoy this sort of music is dis
puted though probably they do, for
some dogs undoubtedly take pleasure
in harmonious strains and will run
block to sit up in front of hand
organ and Sing" while other dogs
unquestionably suffer from certain
kinds of music and express their
pain in lugubrious howls.
As for the East Indian fakir, for
some unknown reason he always car
ries about with him a curious rag
doll in a cylindrical box, talking to
it as if it were alive in the intervals
of snake charming and the perform
ance of Juggling tricks.

then walked home, getting married
that same night. Let US hope that
