The Russian Empress Anne built a
great palace Of Ice and OH occasions
when the fancy seized her punished
several Of her dainty courtiers by com
pelling them to pass the night in this
great chamber Of state. where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul constructed a room
formed entirely of huge mirrors where
he spent hours walking to and fro In
full uniform-n singular taste for the
ugliest man in Russia.
One Of the native princes OF Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall in n cascade over the gateway
and the Indian despot Tippo Sahil
placed beside his dinner table a IifC
size figure of a tiger devouring al
English officer. the Jar of the beast
and the shrieks of the victim being
initiated by hidden machinery.

do not believe in the government

poets to whip your children again
want you to have a photograph taken
of yourself when you are In the act
with your face red with vulgar anger
and the face of the little child. with
eyes swimming in tears and the little
chin dimpled with fear, like piece OF
water struck by a sudden cold wind.
Have the picture taken. If that little
child should die cannot think OF Il
sweeter way to spend an autumn aft
ernoon than to go out to the cemetery
when the naples are clad in tender
gold and little scarlet runners are COM
Ing. like poems of regret. from the sad
heart of the earth and sit down upon
the grave and look at that photograph
and think Of the flesh. now dust, that

home happy. Be honest with them.
Divide fairly with them In everything.

HeIped Out the Gunner.

Gadebusch. in the grand duchy OF
Mecklenburg- Schwerin, In celebration
Of the birth of u grand ducal heir de-
cided to fire the regulation salute OF
1O1 guns. An ancient cannon was
hauled out for the purpose, and the
firing began. Unfortunately the pow
der ran short after the ninety-third
shot. and there was 10 means OF OBJ
tanning any more in the town. The
burgomaster was in despair, especially
as ninety-three shots indicated that the
grand ducal baby was a girl. At this
moment the municipal bandmaster
came forward with n luminous pro-
posal, which was eagerly accepted.
He dispatched his big drum major TO
the market place, where he struck
eight powerful strokes on his instru-
ment to make up the lOl shots, and
thus the situation was saved.-London

MaIayan Tree DweIIers.

The Sakais. or tree jewellers. of the
Malay peninsula build their houses IN
forked trees n dozen feet above ground
and reach them by means Of bamboo
ladders. which they draw up when
safely housed out Of harms way. The
house itself is rude kind of shack
made of bamboo. and the flooring Is
dashed together piece by piece and
bound securely TO the tree limbs by
rattan. These curious people are rath-
err small and lighter III complexion
than the Malays, though much uglier.
They have no form of religion at all
not even idols-no written language
and speak a corrupt form Of Malay.

An Indians Joke,


Indians extract no little quiet enjoy
ment from what seem to them to be
oddities in the speech, manners and
customs Of white people. An Arapa-
hoe stepped into the store Of trader
one day to purchase some tobacco.
The traders son was in charge of the
place. Now, this son was at that en-
barrassing stage of growth when the
voice is changing. so that he never
could tell whether tenor tones would
issue from his lips or babylike fall
setto or de profundis bass. On this
occasion when the Indian asked for
tobacco the youths bass notes held the
right Of way, though they were speed
lily followed by ascending tones up to
a squeaky falsetto.
He asked the Indian, Twill you have
fine cut tobacco or plug?" beginning
in a growl and ending in birdlike so:
prano.
The Arapahoe listened gravely to this
vocal variety and then without smile
reversed tire process and, beginning
with the youths highest note and end
ing with his lowest, scaled, II think
I'll take some plug."-Southern Work

"Exercise and Rest"

What is the relation between exer-
else and rest? Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not. whether we are tired or not.
It used to be thought that the prime
requisite of rest was the use of facul-
ties other llan those involved in the
labor of the day. But there is such a
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become administration ex-
hausted for any kind Of work. Pei
haps this is will fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded as fundamentally true
that rest FROM such fatigue demands
continuity: that, for example. four Pc
RODS of fifteen minutes each of rest is
not the equivalent of one hours rest;
that a man who goes ION il vacation
and takes half an hour of his business
WORK every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had horse
with a sore back. He kept the saddle
on only few minutes each day. but
the sore did not have chance to heal.
Rest periods must be sufficiently con-
secutive to overcome consecutive ia
tigue.-Luther II. Gulick in North
American Review.

CheerfuIness and Cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris in 1882 a notice was
issued advising the inhabitants Ito
avoid as far as possible all occasions
Of melancholy and all painful emo
tions and to seek plenty Of distractions
and amusements. Those with a bright
and happy temperament are not likely
to be stricken down." This advice was
largely followed. and even when chol-
era was claiming over a thousand
weekly victims the theaters and cafes
were thronged. The epidemic was in
some quarters treated as a huge joke.
and plays and songs were written
around it. Rochefort wrote play.
lie Cholera Morbus." which proved a
big success, and another production
on the same lines, "Paris-malade," also
had long run.-London Chronicle.

Ether Toner'S.

Ether is consumed by gallons to get
drunk on in small pare of Scotland.
The origin IF this peculiar and limited
abuse is strange. In 1S48 a bad cpl
demic of cholera broke out in Glasgow.
Among those flying from it were some
who came back to Draperstown, their
native place. With them they brought
cholera mixture which they found
''exceeding comforting" A rascally
doctor, knowing that the comfort pro.
ceeded from ether, laid in a whole
cask. He made his fortune and start
ed the habit that lasts till yet. Ether
is sold over counters in Scotland, the
penny drink. An old ether topper can
drink two or three ounces a day. but
one-half ounce is one big dram in wa.
ter. The drinker gets hilarious in d
minute. 1t is far wilder and more
dangerous than alcohol

LAKE STEAMER

Burned to Waters Edge Near

CREW HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Fifteen Men and One Woman Taken
From Burning Vessel, but All Per-
sonaI Belongings Are Lost-Third
Disaster of Similar Nature to o.
cur at the Same Place Within the
Last Three Weeks.
Calumet, Mich, Nov. S.-The steam
er Wasago, Captain W. A. Glass,
bound from Toronto to Fort William,
Ont, with a cargo of farming machin-
cry and supplies, was burned to the
waters edge while lying in shelter
from a heavy northwest gale at Cop
per harbor, on Keweenaw point, TWEEN
ty miles north of here. The WasagO
sank in thirty feet of water and the
engines can be salvaged. The hull
and cargo are total loss, amounting
to 100000.
The crew of fifteen men and one
woman were taken off by the steamer
Westmount of the Montreal Transpor-
tation company.
This is the third disaster on Kewee-
nav point in three weeks and the
steamer is the second destroyed by
fire in that time. The steamer More
land, wrecked in Eagle river three
weeks ago, is total loss and has
been abandoned by the underwriters.
The steamer Langham burned off Bette
Girls and sank in 120 feet of water a
week ago Sunday.
AS in the case of the Langham the
fire on the Wasago started near the
bows and members of the crew had a
narrow escape, saving nothing. Cap
tain Glass is unable to explain the
! causes of the fire.
The Wasago was built in 1875, was
of 1,10S net tons, 23S feet long and sc
feet beam, and was owned by the Col
