A Monastic Rae. Course.

sandown Is the part of Esher that all
travellers see from the railway. with
the grand stand backed by a fine clus-
ter Of dark pines. Among the smaller
race courses none Is prettier. The
estate purchased by a company for the
special purpose Of horse racing origi-
nally belonged to priory. All the
brethren were swept away by the
black death about the middle of the
fourteenth century and every trace Of
their monastic buildings has disap-
peared. Only their memory now re.

Unfortunate Omission.

One OF the most singular instances of
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma
nae maker to the Bastille in 1717. 1t
was made out by order Of the Duke of
Orleans. regent during the minority Of
Louis V. of France. and read as fol-
lows: Laurence d'Henry. for disre-
spect to King George l. in not mention
Ing him In his almanac as king Of
Great Britain" How long this un,
lucky almanac maker remained in pris-
on is unknown. The register Of the
Bastille. examined at the time Of the
revolution. failed to throw any light on
the subject.

lsmail easha's Whtm Was Costly and

Ismail. Pasha. former viceroy and khe-
dive Of Egypt. in spite of his European
education and association. maintained
throughout his life an oriental love of
lavishness and display.
While travelling in France he was
entertained at Belleau. the country es-
tate of his friend Bravais. The host
had made his entire fortune from
Egyptian concessions and consequent
ly exerted himself to his utmost to
make his noble visitors stay a pleas
ant one. Bravais succeeded little
better than he liked. for the khedive
after admiripg the estate. offered to
buy it. The proposition came as a
shock to Bravais. who did not wish to
offend his patron and yet had no idea
Of parting with his beloved estate.
"But, SIR" he said. "Belleau Is not
for SALE"
"Yet wish to buy it." replied lsmail,
unperturbed. How much?"
Bravais. believing to put an end to
an embarrassing situation by naming
al impossible price. said jokingly.
"Ah. If your highness were to offer
me 100000 francs"-
"They are yours" interrupted the
viceroy. land Belleau is mine."
Ismail Pasha extended his visit and
during the next week continued to ex
press his admiration of the place. al
though he did not allude to the previ-
GUS conversation. Bravais began to
hope that he had forgotten 1t.
On the day Of his departure lsmail
was about to step into his carriage
when he turned to his host
"My dear Bravais." he said. II never

Together they proceeded to a neigh

tn. Popular Turkish Bath.


There is a widespread use Of the va
por or Turkish bath. Even in arctic
Lapland the use of a Turkish bath Of
very primitive form is common. It
consists Of hut attached to every
farm. In the middle Of the hut il
raised a kind Of beehive Of rough
stones, and in this fire is lighted.
When the stones become red hot they
are drenched with water, 80 that the
place is filed with vapor. Then enter
the bathers, who are armed with birch
twigs, with which they belabor one an.
other until all are in state Of profuse
perspiration. Then all leave the hut
and roll in the snow outside. This last
function, it will be observed, is equiva.
lent to the cold plunge. which is the
nnal experience in the Turkish bath, az
known to Us all.-Harper's.

stories of youthful vim and vigor, with

surrender these readers when they enter
ed the more serious paths of life.
Mothers will welcome the page for little
children and the weekly doctors article.
Fathers will find the important news Of
