KEPT ABOVE GROUND.
Ingenious Way Major Hook Evadsd
the Terms Of a Will.

Ingenious Way Major Hook Evadsd
tho Terms Of a Will.
Among ingenious ways Of evading a
will the plan followed by Major Hook
and recorded in Ancient, Curious and
Famous Wills" may be commended:
A county newspaper some years
ago recorded the death of a Major
Hook and spoke Of him as "a singular
character" HE died." says the re-
port. ION Monday sennight at his
house, Ham street, Ham common. He
was an officer in the East India COM
pany's service and reached the age Of
seventy-flve. His house was remark
able for its dingy and dilapidated con-
dition."
His wife had become entitled to a
life annuity. bequeathed to her in
these ambiguous terms: And the
same shall be paid to her as long as
she is above ground" When, there
fore. the good lady died her husband
very naturally objected to forfeit his
income by putting her below ground
and ingeniously devised a mode Of
keeping her in a room which he allot-
ted ito her sole and separate use,"
placing a glass case over her remains
For thirty years he thus prolonged his
enjoyment, If not Of his wife's society,
At least of her income.

HARD METALS.
They Come From Titanium and Arc 40
Firm ~ the Diamond.

They Come From Titanium and Are 40
Firm a. the Diamond.
The diamond has ever been regarded
as possessing one quality that placed it
beyond rivalry--namely, that Of hard
ness. There are several gems that COM
pete with it in beauty, and at least one
the ruby-when Of rare size outranks
it in costliness. but none in the whole
list equals it in hardness. The hardest
steel cannot equal the diamond in that
respect.
But there are at least two products
Of chemical experiment that have
proved, according to French chemists,
to be as hard as diamonds. These are
produced from the rare metal titanium
One experimenter, it Is claimed. sue
ceeded in preparing titanium in the
electric furnace. In the pure form it
Is much harder than steel or quartz,
and when combined with silicon or
carbon so as to form a silicide or bo-
ride of titanium 1t matches the dia-
mOnd itself in hardness.
Titanium resembles tin in its chem
zeal properties, and it is the character
istic element in the beautiful red and
brown crystals of rutile. These, in the
shape Of needles, are sometimes found
penetrating large white quartz crys-
tails, forming gems that the French
call 'love's arrows."-New York Press.

SEASlCKNESS.

Il 10 Not Beneficial, and In Rars Cases
Il Causes 0sath.
ln tho light Of modern intelligence
the ONCE popular idea that seasickness
was Of real benefit to the sufferer and
that 1t never terminated fatally has
been exploded. Not only Is this mala-
dy to be guarded againet by every
means possible. but it is even to be
dreaded by those who are not over
robust as leading to possible fatal re-
suits.
The old fashioned notion that good
dose OF seasickness was beneficial was
due wholly to the fact that upon re-
covery the victim of NAL de mer is
usually SO delighted that he Is apt to
imagine that he never felt better In
his life. while feeling normal again is
merely so great contrast to the ex-
ceedingly wretched condition which
this disorder brings about that ex-
aggeration Of ones feelings is the
most natural thing in the world. Sea-
sickness Is far from pleasant 1t is
not beneficial. and in rare cases ii
terminates fatally.
There Is one consolation. however,
that with the growth OF the size Of
ships and the increase Of speed travel
ers are to a certain extent insured
against 1t or II attacked are certain
that their $ufferings will be short

He looked at her. and in his eyes
Came suddenly dumb appeal
mingled sadness and surprise
Such as. sometimes, all men must feel
She saw him look. she saw tho light
That famed within his eyes just then
In such she was q lovely sight,
And the despair Of brush or pen.
A broken word he softly stammered-
Was 1t his soul that wildly clamored3
He could not speak; his face grew red.
His eyes turned yearningly to her
(She knew how all tho men were led
BY charms that set their hearts awhirr)
He leaned toward her-and his face
Grew tense and strong in its appeal
(6he waited there in gentle grace
For him his silence to unseaD.
Again no tried to speak. but vainly,
His eyes were blazing half insanely.
He clutched the cloth that lay above
The heavy table where they sat
(She waited for his tale Of love,
For this meant nothing else than that).
Tears welled into his eyes. az he
Gazed eagerly into her own
(She mentally was glad that she
Had planned that they might be alone).
With some great stress he seemed all
frantic,
For men are mad when they're romantic.
He beat tho air with his right hand
And tried in vain to speak once more
(From this she could but understand
He loved as ne'er he'd loved before).
And then he gasped. and then he smiled.
And then at last he Gained and spoke:
''By jinks! That crumb near drove We
wild;
thought I never would unchoke!"
Which shows that man and mans pro-
posing
Sometimes will fool all diagnosing.

The Moving Picture Kiss.

The romantic moving picture
dramas now include the kiss.
The hero prints q long and anguish
ing salute upon the lips of the heroine
but 1t strikes the eye with a shock
In the real drama you know it Is
only make-believe, that the hero ia
simply feigning the kiss. rather than
grease paint, while the heroine is
equally deceptive, not caring for the
flavor of an artificial mustache and
other ingredients of the hero's make.
up.
But when the moving picture hero
and heroine kiss it is as incongruous
as 1t would be for two cabinet photo
graphs to osculate in the old family
album.
There are no tender speeches to
prepare one for the kiss. There are
no audible signs, no murmured terms
OF endearment. 1t is a brazen oc-
currence.
Besides, you can see that the NOV
Ing picture hero and heroine realize
that while an audience will watch the
kiss and then forget 1t, the moving
picture machine will go on showing it
for years.
The kiss is not always successful
on the real stage; the moving picture
demonstrates that it should be per-
mitted to retain its place as a strictly
bi-personal proposition.

Da Vinci's Writings.

Although Leonardo da Vinct was a
voluminous writer, he never published
a single line during his lifetime.
After the masters death in France
his manuscripts were taken back to
Italy. His heirs proved unworthy,
and the precious writings were grad
ually dispersed. Loose pages were
often detached and were either given
away as relics or stolen. No attempt
was made to publish any of his
treatises. except that on painting, for
more than 800 years after his death.
This was partly owing to the great
difficulty Of deciphering his handwrit-
ing. Da vinci was left handed and
always wrote in oriental fashion. from
right to left. Besides this, his orthog-
raphy Is peculiar to himself. He alb
breviates some words and joins others
together and employs neither stops nor
accents.-LondOn Chronicle.

A HUMBLED PRINCE.

10 Performed His Task and Squared
Himself With His Boss.
Perley Sheehan told the other day of
the sad days in Paris when he was a
member of the Herald's STAFF there and
under the personal supervision Of Com.
modore james Gordon Bennett, says o
New York letter to the Cincinnati
Times-Star. There were days when
nothing happened in that Office, but
there were more days when everything
happened. Sometimes things happened
that simply could not happen at all.
'.The commodore had bunch of titled
gentlemen working for him." said
Sheehan. Our copy boy was Mar.
quis de Something or Other If he had
possessed the commercial instinct he
could have peddled that title Of his on
this side of the water for as much ~
a million and a quarter in iron dollars.
Not having it, he pulled down 40
francs per week-which is $S-and was
often reduced to tears by the profane
demands of the American barbarians
that he eliminate the dignity from his
walk and get in a little more pace.
I've often thought that l should have
abducted that boy and brought him to
New York by force. l could have sold
him to almost any well to do family
with manageable daughters.
Zone Of the attaches was prince
whose titles filed a couple Of pages in
the Almanach dc GOtha, while his fam.

allotted to a prize winning Hereford In

terror, he had been educated in the
most arlstocratic establishments Of
France. he had the entree to every
house Of fashion IN the city, and he
had the intellect Of small pig. Com

q sort Of major domo. When the com.
modore was indisposed the prince did
the honors Of the establishment for
him.

The prince had made some sort of a
faux pas which angered the commo.
