unweIcome Wedding Guest,

The origin of a black cat that at
intervals makes his appearance in St.
Regis is somewhat of mystery, but
he always shows up, according to the
entertainment department, when a
wedding reception is going on, relates
the New York Sun. His last appear
ance was at reception the other day.
The guests had all congratulated the
bride and bridegroom and were sam
pling the buffet when from apparently
nowhere in particular Master Tom
appeared, apparently feeling very
much at home and trying to frater-
nize with the invited guests. A horri-
fed employee removed him, but Tom
found his way back, and then again
until he was conveyed to the street.
Orders have been issued to bar Tom
from the next reception, even should
he bring a card with him.

SAVED HIS RAscALLY SON
How Mansard Came to Construct the
Great Hall at Aries Without
Central Pillar.

The great hall Of the Hotel de Vile
of Aries, France, designed by Man
sard, is the wonder and admiration OF
every one who has seen 1t on account
of the groined roof.
In regard to this a neighboring
cafetier tells a somewhat grim story.
King Louis XIV. happened to be pass
ing through the city just at the time
Mansard was experimenting the COM
pletion of his creation. The roof was
supported by a powerful pillar. The
monarch admired the work and con-
graduated the architect on his design.
At that moment the architect was
passing through great domestic tribu-
lation. He had son under sentence
Of death, SO he thought it would be a
good opportunity to intercede on be-
half of the lad.
Mansard threw himself at the feet
OF the king and said: Your majesty
sees in the center that massive col
umn? If you will spare the life of my
son l will remove the unsightly pillar
and the roof shall stand without sup
port" "Mansard," replied the king,
"if you accomplish that miracle l will
pardon your son, but If you fail I will
hang you with him"
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is a
philosopher and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man
sard's son been a scamp the hall at
Aires would be just like any other
hall.

Sharks Famous Shows
December 9Th.

Unless the weather Is bad a big
crowd will be in town on show day.
Dry years, short crops, closed fac
tories and other matters of minor con-
sideration have but little to do with
the size of the crowds who go to see
the show.
To those of us who have reached
mature years the annual coming of
the circus means little more than an
hour or two of pleasant diversion
from the daily routine of business
affairs, but to the small children 1t is
a red letter day-an occasion to be
remembered through life. Who does
not recall with vivid memory the
first circus they ever saw? The sight
Of the big and fierce-looking animals,
the music of the bands, the funny
antics of the clowns and the wonder

dressed performers, all make indeli.

SAN SALVADOR'S NAME LOST
Identity of Island on Which Column
bus First Landed Is Nc Longer
Certain.

San Salvador is perhaps the most
interesting historical point on the
American side Of the world, as it is
the island upon which Columbus first
landed. Yet it has lost it's name. In
view of the history not only of the
Bahamas group, but of the American
continents as well, it is far from sur
prising that the identity of the ia
nous island should have been long
lost; or that the decentralization
should have been delayed until the
middle of the last century, when Cap
tain Becher of the British navy, by
application of the description, contain
ed in Columbus journal, to the course
from Gomera to the Bahamas, deter
mined clearly that Watling's Island
alone met all requirements Of the
case.

A short time ago $50 gold coins. dat
ing from the period of the Roman oc-
cupation of Britain, we're found in a
bronze jar about one foot below the
surface Of the ground three miles
from HeXham, England, on the site
of the ancient Roman city of Corstop-
itUm.
A coroner's inquest has been held
to determine their ownership. The
jury, however, was unable to agree as
to whether the coins were treasure
trove or not, the contention of the
owner of the land being that the coins
had been left on an ancient highway
and abandoned during a raid by the
Caledonians against the Romans. The
coroner therefore agreed to keep the
coins for a week to see If some ar
rangement could be made with the
treasury as to their disposal.

Happy Microbe,

The microbe is tenacious of life, for
Migula found the bacillus leposporus

years, infected mouse fatally with
some bacilli. Nestler investigated
clod Of earth stored in a herbarium
for over half century, and found

Some earth wrapped in paper since

bacteria to the gramme. Eighty-sev-

Care of the Ewes.

If a woman has the slightest diff
Guilty with her sight, she should lose
no time in consulting an oculist. Moth
ing will bring undesirable crows feet
more quickly than straining the eyes,
and local treatment to prevent the
lines will be inefficacious if the seat
OF the trouble is not attended to. 1t is
far better to wear glasses when sew
ing and writing than to let the whole
face have drawn and aged look.
OF course, massaging about the cor
ners of the eyes will make a tremen-
dous improvement in a woman's ap-
pearance, but the work will be with
out results unless she does it regularly
every night. Also, if she is trying to
smosth away crows feet, she must re-
member that stroking is not to be
done so severely as to loosen the skin
which would cause bagginess, but
merely that friction is to stimulate cir
eulauon, nourishing the skin tissues.

Continuous TUNGSTEN,

After three years research work, a
British concern has succeeded, so it is
said, in producing tungsten in such
a form that it could be drawn into
continuous wire one-thousandth of an
inch in thickness, used in any length
or bent to any shape. At the same
time, its tensile strength has been
Increased.
Hitherto tungsten has only been
producible in short lengths. The new
discovery makes it possible to use a
continuous wire in the lamp, so that
the risk of breakage is reduced to a
minimum and the life of the lamp
considerably extended.

The EveruIades.

The region known as the Everglades
of Florida is about 60 miles long by So
miles broad, and is one vast swamp,
studded with islands of from a quarter
of an acre to hundreds of acres in ex-
tent. These islands are generally COW
cred with dense thickets of shrubbery
or vines, and occasionally with lofty
pines and palmettos. The water is
from one to six feet deep, the bottom,
as rule, covered with a growth of
rank grass. During the rainy season,
from July TO October, the district COM
prised in the Everglades is practically
impenetrable. The vegetable deposits
of the Everglades is considered well
adapted to the growth of banana and
other fruits. and when properly drain
ed the region will undoubtedly be one
of the most fertile on earth.

Many "Holy Lands"

Christians use the term Holy
Land to designate Palestine, as being
the scene of the birth, ministry and
death of Christ, but, Interestingly
enough, other religious sects employ
the same term for places sacred to
them from association. Thus the Mo
hammedans speak of Mecca as the
Holy Land, it being the birthplace of
NIohammed. The Chinese Buddhists
call India the Holy Land, because the
founder of their religion was born
there. while the Greeks bestow this
same title on Ellis, where was situated
the temple of Olympian Zeus.

When Every Man Was an Enemy.

During the medieval period doors
were small and narrow, so that only
one person could pass through at a
time, owing to the universal need for
protection against attack. For this
same reason doorways we're some
times set in a recess, commanded by
openings through which arrows could
be shot The doors themselves were
constructed in one piece and not d.
vided from the center. and were fast
ened by strong oak bars. which could
be drawn across from one side to the
other.
