Bathed in such beauty, watching the

stars, which here have a glory that
the lowlander never dreams Of. watch

the songs Of the waters and winds
and birds, would be endless pleasure.
And what glorious cloudlands would

and a new earth every day, aye, and
new inhabitants. And how many visi-

not have one dull moment. And why
should this appear extravagant. II is

FETES FOR AGED COUPLES
How Honor Is Paid the Old People
In France by Public
Festivals.

Rheims has just been celebrating
an interesting event, the golden we'd
ding of 60 old couples, says the West
minister Review.
The fete is as old as the Revolution.
when 1t first seems to have begun. In
the time of the directory there were
two fetes, the fete of the old people
and the fete of the golden wedding.
This seems to have been a very pref
ty affair, to judge from the account In
the Debats. There was a procession
of oxen, with their horns crowned
with flowers, followed by children
crowned with violets, by young men
wreathed with myrtle. and old men
with garlands Of olives and girls
dressed as vestal virgins.
At Paris in August, 1897. there was
a great festival in honor of the old
men, who were all given seats at the
Opera, when "a gracious Hebe crowned
their white locks with garlands OF
roses" and the soldiers presented
arms. The idea of the fete was the
encouragement of the family circle.
The old man, who was a happy grand
father, was feted as an encourage
ment to the younger generation to fol
Z low IN his footsteps.

SkYscrapina Nerve.

Way up in the air. at skyscraping
construction work, on a single steel
beam spanning space among the
clouds like an aeroplane. a workman
lost his balance or made a misstep-
80 high up he was that watchers could
not make out which-and tottered,
wavering there to make your stomach
fall into your boots while your heart
thumped the top Of your skull. Then
he got a grip on himself, recovered
his poise. apparently looked down for
a moment on the army OF wee human
mites SO far below on earth-and went
about his work again. Good sky
scraping nerve. Wonder did he tell
the wife and Riddles when he got
home to supper? No. not with that
nerve.

vIsItIna Cards for Dogs.

A novelty In Paris is the lapdos
visiting cards. "Poms" and pugs which
go visiting with their mistresses In
fashionable circles In Paris are TO
have their own tiny pasteboards
tucked away In little pockets Of their
outdoor coats. Such dogs have two
sets OF cards. which are left on other
dogs at the houses where they are
calling with their mistresses. One
card gives the dogs real name and
its race. while the other records it's
pet name Joined 70 the family name
OF its owner. Cards are left according
to the pedigree OF the dog visited.

The Eyes and the Voice.

A physician in London, DR.. William
Martin Richards. has had occasion to
observe a relation existing between
the eyes and the voice and has re-
Gently made a statement Of two cases
that came under his treatment where
actresses who had lost their voices
completely recovered them when
treated for defective eyes and fitted
with proper glasses.
He tells of one young woman in
whose family eye diseases were hered-
itary who found herself at the age
of twenty-five losing her voice. Her
eyes were found to be in need Of at
tention and when she had been sup
piled with glasses she promptly re-
covered her singing voice.
When she discarded the glasses
some time later and her eyes were
once more neglected her voice also
relapsed into a husky state that pre-
cluded all singing. This practitioner
has observed a number VI similar
cases and the discovery of the rela-
ton between the eyes and the voice
should certainly be valuable 10 stage
folk and others who depend largely
upon their voices for their status in
the world.

Manuscript of Thirteenth Century.

While reading a French book of
the sixteenth century In the univer-
sity library, st. Andrews, the German
lecturer, DR.. Schaaffs, noticed some
fragments OF an old French poem
which the binder had pasted on back
and covers of the book.
After loosening them he removed
the glue and out OF the four pieces OBJ
tanned composed two larger pieces,
parts of two leaves of a manuscript
written in a beautiful and clear type
In two columns OF thirty-nine lines
each, 144 in all, with red and blue in
itials. The names occurring In the
text leave no doubt that the frag-
ments contain parts OF the old French
chason lie Roman de Girard de
Viane," and from the language and
the script It appears that the manu-
script was written between 1850 and
1900.
