Wise Men of Gotham.

A "wise man of Gotham" is q fool,
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom of the people that lived In the
English town Of Gotham. The story
goes that King John Of England once
visited the town with the intention OF
seeing a castle that he thought Of TAX
ing for himself. But the Gothamites
did not care for the nearness of roy
atty and the expense, they would be
put to If the king should have house
there, and so they cooked up scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company of followers
and rode through the town he saw all
lie inhabitants Of Gotham going
through the most foolish Of tasks, each
person with silly smile on his face.
The king was disguised with them.
he would not live among crazy people,
and so he rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the wise men of Gotham, still smiling,
but not in silly fashion. told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain

Stratford gave some directions how

Lord Stratford left In towering

he ordered him TO go in and tell the
man, whom be had addressed In such
language. The attache returned with

Christians In Old Rome.

Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. The
Christians were regarded as seditous.
In denying the divinity Of the Cae-
sars and the Roman gods they were
guilty Of high treason in Roman eyes
and were accordingly punished. But
their punishment had no religious sig
nificance whatever. The Christians
were prosecuted not because they were
Christians, but because, in the opinion
of the authorities, they were disturb
ers of the peace and safety Of the
state. Religious persecution was a
thought that never entered the Roman
mind.-New York American.

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds Of the heart itself the es-
cape of blood is never In large quaint
ty, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape OF
blood from within its cavity or cavities
into the surrounding sac Of the perl
cardium mechanically interrupts the
alternate contraction and expansion by
which Its pumping action is maintain
ed. Accordingly the results Of the
wound Of the heart are usually identi-
cal with those Of gradual suffocaton.
