Emerson on Civilization.

The civilized man has built coach.
but has lost the use OF his feet. He
is supported on crutches, but lacks SO
much support OF muscle. He has a
Geneva watch, but he fails of the
skill to tell the hour by the sun. A
Greenwich nautical almanac he has.
and so, being sure of the information
when he wants 1t, the man in the
street does not know star in the
sky. The solstice he does not OBJ
serve; the equinox he knows as little;
and the whole bright calendar of the
year is without dial in the mind. His
Libraries overload his wit; the In
surance office increases the number OF
accidents; and It may be question
whether machinery does not incum-
Der; whether We have not lost by
refinement some energy, by Christi
anity intrenched in establishments
and forms, some vigor OF wild virtue.
For every Stole was a Stole, but in
Christendom where is the Chrlstlani

Amusing Story Of Frank II. Spearman,
the Author and His Young
Son.

An amusing story is told of Frank
H. Spearman, the author of Robert
Kimberly" Of the shock he gave one
OF the brothers of st. Mary's college,
Oakland, Cal. Mr.. Spearman sent one
of his boys there to school, and, the
boy was great favorite with one
OF the brothers who was noted for his
penmanship. and for his ability to
teach 1t. He prided himself on turn
ing out the best writing pupils Of the
west, and he thought that Spearman
was one of the pest of these.
One time Mr.. Spearman was talking
to him, not knowing that he was the
teacher of writing He said, "If there
is one thing that do want 1t is for
that boy to be good writer"
But indeed he Is a good writer"
the brother began

Upon this the mild hammered broth
er rushed to his desk, and brought
back some specimens of young Spear
mans hand writing. He was in a
great furry Of excitement. He was
used only to compliments.
Mr.. Spearman looked surprised for
moment, and then he began to laugh.
"Oh!" he said, 81 don't care about his
penmanship. meant that want him

ROOM THAT is SOUND PROOF
Remarkable Chamber at University Of
Utrecht That Was Constructed
for Scientific Experiments.

The Physiological institute of the
University of Utrecht possesses one OF
the most remarkable rooms in the
world, a chamber about seven and a
half feet square. which Is said to be
absolutely noisCless, as far as the
entrance of sounds from outside is con.
cerned.
This room Is situated on the top
story of q laboratory building, and is
an inside room, but so arranged that
It can be ventilated and inundated
with sunshine, The walls, floors and
ceiling each consist of half a dozen
layers OF different substances, with air
spaces and interstices filled with
sound-deadening materials.
Some persons when In the room ex.
pcrienee peculiar sensation in the
ears, While every effort has been
made TO exclude sounds that are not
wanted, of course the object of con
structing this singular room was to
experiment with phenomena connected
with sound Some of the sounds EN-.
ployed are made in the room itself;
others are introduced from outside by
means OF copper tube, which ls
plugged with lead when not in use.

Tower of Hercules,

Travellers may still see on the coast
of the English channel at Dover the
ruins Of Roman lighthouse that was
built at the time of the Roman con
quest of Britain. Another ancient
lighthouse, built less than century
after the tower at Dover Is still serv-
ing its original purpose. 1t was partly
rebuilt and some alterations were
made in il, but in the main it is the
same old structure that guided the
Roman galleys as they skirted the
coasts of the bay of Biscay, making
their way to the Roman port of Bri-
gantium. This is the modern harbor
of La Coruna, and the lighthouse Is the
most ancient thing about 1t. The
Romans called it the tower of Her
cues, and the moderns have perpetu-
ated the name. The exact date of its
erection is not known, but inscrip-
lions and other evidence show that 1t
was built in the time of Trajan. be

Private coIeridae.

In his young days the poet Coleridge
had little love affair which ended In
disaster, for the lady refused him. In
despair he enlisted In a cavalry regi-
ment which he hoped would be or
dered on foreign service. For family
reasons he dropped his correct name,
but from feeling of sentiment re-
tanned the initials, so Samuel Taylor
Coleridge became Private Silas Temp
kins Camberbatch. The regiment did
not leave the country, and 1t was not
long before his soul wearied of bar
rack life and its utter absence Of rO-
nance. His military life ended in a
curious fashion. One day while Cole
ridge was doing a weary sentry go
two officers strolled past. One Of them
made use of Greek quotation which
the other corrected. The first insisted
on his correctness, while the other
was just as positive he was wrong.
While they disputed the sentry sud
denly presented arms and respectfully
informed them that they were both In
error He gave the exact quotation,
name Of the author and other circum-
stances. This incident led to an in
quiry, and the poet was restored to
the bosom OF his family.

In q Japanese Temple.

"Asakuse temple is dedicated to the
goddess Kwannon, tiny image Of
gold, about two and one-half inches
high" writes a traveller in Japan. AT
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures,
guarding the sacred precincts. Hang
ing outside the wire grating are a
number Of sandals for their use If they
wish to take walk, and rice Is
sprinkled about. Each worshiper, be-
fore entering the temple, calls at a
small building, and after contributing
a small amount, washes his hands and
rinses his mouth In front of the main
shrine is large aperture in the floor,
covered with latticework, into which
the worshiper casts his gift. After
clapping his hands to awaken or at
tract the attention of the god, he
kneels, but his prayer is only brief.
While there is one chief shrine there
are many others under the same roof.
One shrine especially attracted my at
tention; it was made of wood, and
quite disfgured and worn through the
constant rubbing of hands on the spot
corresponding to the afflicted portions
of the sufferers bodies. Chicago

WORLDS BASEBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

New York, Oct. 13.-If the weather
man supplies good day, the biggest
crowd in the history Of baseball Will
doubtless storm the Polo Grounds to-
morrow to witness the first contest
between the Giants and the Athletics
for the championship of the world.
1t is estimated that 100000 people
will want to see the inaugural contest
of the great series. There will be
seats at the Polo Grounds for about
$4,000 spectators With this discrep-
ancy between demand and supply, the
police OF the metropolis are preparing
for busy time. Police Commissioner
Waldo has arranged for small army
OF bluecoats inside and outside OF the
park. Scores of officers armed with
clubs will surround the ticket win
dows, where disagreeable scenes may
be enacted If the impatient crowd gets
unruly. The preparations could not
be more thorough II the police expect
ed to have to deal with a mob OF an
archists armed with bombs.
Never before has there been so
much betting on the issue of a base
ball series, and 1t is safe to say that
nj Least half n million dollars will
change hands when victory has
perched on one banner or the other.
Most of the wagers so far have been
at even money, but it is believed that
the abundance of New York money
will send the Giants to the post tomor-
row as to favorites.
