Well, she was more artful and
crafty than we thought. otherwise
how could she capture Archie?"
Didn't he call on a different girl
every night In the week."
yes. We called them Arches sew
en- varieties"
How in the heavens did he select
lnez? Except for her fascinating
inky black eyes she seems extraordI-
narily ordinary
Her simplicity appealed to him."

good-natured rivalry between the sey.

seem the most popular When Archie
would suggest certain evening to
call he was almost positive the reply
would be I have a previous engage

Archie felt sorry for Inez, she
seemed so lonely Jokingly he said,

Telephone Conversations as Evidence.
In a recent case It was admitted
that telephone conversation had TAX
en- place between a representative OF
the plaintiff and the defendant, but 1t
was claimed on the part OF the de-
fendant-appellant that each party to
the conversation could testify only to
what he said and could not testify to
what he heard through the telephone.
presumably upon the ground that he
might have misunderstood what the
Iother party said. In declaring this
objection untenable the appellate divi-
sion in the second department peril
nently said that such a rule would ad-

A kino's Hobby.

The late king of Siam had an extraor- dinary hobby-that of collecting empty matchboxes of all nations, In this connection an interesting story Is re- lated. During one of his visits to Eng land the king while passing down Bond street one afternoon, accompanied by two members of his suit. espied an empty matchbox which had been dis carded by its owner and thrown away into the middle of the thoroughfarc Without a moments thought the mon- arch dashed into the middle of the crowded traffic. grasped the much GOV eted treasure and was nearly run over by a passing cab. The fact. however, that he was able to add a new speci- men to his collection gathered under such circumstances more than com pensated him for the risk which he had run.-London News.

MOSCOW CATHEDRAL.
Fantastic Looking Edifice Erected by
 Ivan the Terrible.


 One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship in the world is the Cathedral of Mos COW, known as Vasili Blajenni, strange not only in outline and conception, but even stranger in it's history. No one knows the architects name. but the story goes that the cZar ordered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed, so that he should nev- CT be able to surFass his work. The idea of the building was inspired by the wickedest and maddest monarch who ever sat on throne-Ivan the Terrible, cZar of Muscovy.
 The architecture Is in every respect extravagant and barbaric, and the col bring is garish in the extreme. It has nine chapels, roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger than the other. One resembles a pineapple, another a melon. third is said to ape a hedgehog in it's appearance, and the rest are more or less grotesque. Some are gilt; others are painted in brilliant hues. Indeed. the only description is that 1t is a nightmare of a church, the fitting legacy of ruler who grilled his counselors in frying pans and clothed his subjects in bearskins in order that trained dogs might worry and tear them to pieces.-Strand Maga- Eine

There are various kinds of heat. such as just common. everyday heat, prickly heat and the heat of de bate. etc.-Kansas City Times.

Gothic Architecture.

Gothic architecture began about the ninth century after Christ and soon began to spread all over Europe. It's great feature is the pointed arch, and it was at first called the pointed style" Most of the glorious old world cathedrals are in the Gothic. and it Is generally conceded that for religious purposes no other style of architecture is so perfectly suited. It has been said that the first idea of the Gothic was suggested by the interlacing boughs and trunks of the great woods in which German Christianity was formed: hence the name Gothic.-New York American.

ATTACK LIKE TIGERS.

In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from the blood 'They are the best blood purifier, 9 writes c.

A Spartan Eather.

Recently first year high school pu- pii handed her history teacher what she evidently considered an exhaustive and final study of Lacedaemonian crs- toms. In 1t she stated that one Spar tan habit of strengthening youth was to compel the boys to sleep always op beds and thistles.
 The incident reminds one of a story that Is told of one of the Camerons of Lochiel.
 The chief. when bivouacking with his son in the snow. noticed that the lad had rolled up a snowfall to make . pillow. He thereupon rose and kick Cd it away, saying sternly. No ef- feminacy, boy!'-Youth's Companion.

The diamond was first burned by Davy and Faraday in 1874. It was held on a platinum rod in glass globe of twenty-two cubic inches of pure hydrogen and the Duke of Trs- cany's burning glass-a lens of four, teen. inches and one of three inches separated six and one-half feet-coD- centrated the suns heat. In three. quarters of an hour the stone burst into a scarlet flame. Out of focus it blazed four minutes and was con sumed in two more trials.

As had nothing t. do l dropped into a concert and heard sleek looking Frenchman play 2 plano in a way that made me feel ali over ii spots.

He tapped the keys away up one end, jus; as if they were gauges and he wHnte5 to see if he had water enough. TheL ae looked up as If he wanted to know how much steam he was carving. and the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed on to the main line as if he was half an hour late.

 thing New to Him.

thing New to Him.
 Sir Frederick 1reves, the distinguish cd British surgeon, in his book "Caan- da For q Holiday7 has q word o~ TWO to say about the rhinoceros.
 The rhinoceros is the embodiment Of blind conservatism, " he writes. its hide is impenetrable, its vision Is weak. while it's intellect Is weaker. It has. however, two marked qualities-com- bativenesS and sense of smell. It ig aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is az gressive or inconvenient It's offensive ness depends upon the fact that It is unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar the object Is the worse the rhinOceros acts.
 "When a rhinoceros smess a man he will charge him with maniacal vio- lence, although the man may be mere ly sitting on stool reading Milton The massive beast will dash at him like torpedo or a runaway locomo tive simply because the smell of him is novel Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an Iron wa ter tank on the outskirts of q camp and has crumpled 1t up as blacksmith would an empty meat tin.
 "A conservative rhinoceroS with . senlle dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, 1t appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined. of flesh and blood could be so hard. It went of with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head"
