MEMORIAL TO TOM MOORE.

A literary shrine sacred to Tom
Moore in the Vale of Ayoca, situated
in Wicklow, that county which is
popularity described the garden of
Ireland. 1t is now proposed to erect
memorial to the poet, and as the
outcome of public meeting the pro-
moters of it consider that its cree
ton in "the vale in whose bosom the
bright waters meet would be very
appropriate.
1t was while at Avoca that Moore
wrote some of his latest known melo-
dies. Nature herself has supplied
until quite recently a memorial Of
the bard in the form of an oak tree,
''Tom Moore's tree" under whose
shade he did most of his writing. A
remnant of it only now survives,
owing to the desire of tourists to car
ry away portions of it as souvenirs of
"the poet of all circles and the idol
of his wn."-Pall Mall Gazette.

FOUGHT A DUEL WITH EGGS
Two Philadelphia Men Had BIoodIess
Combat but Used Up 5000 Worth
Of Eatabes-

Determined to fight a duel, but
equally determined not to risk life
and limb, Walter Hawthorne of
Twenty-third and Tasker streets and
Michael Cuddy of South Beechwood
street, went to the freight yards of
the Pennsylvania railroad yesterday
morning and opened on each other
with cakes of oleomargarine, butter
and eggs. The missiles flew thick
and fast, and upward of 5000 worth
of eatables had been spattered
around when Railroad Detectives
Williams and Campbell arrived on
the scene.
The two duelists forgot each other
for a moment, and opened fire on the
two officers. They we're finally ar
rested, however, and held under 5000
each bail for court, charged with
breaking into car and maliciously
destroying the contents.-Philadel-

MODERN "HELOTS."

In sounding again a note Of warn
ing against the reckless dissipation
of the coal-supplieS of the British
Isles, Sir William Ramsay makes ali
interesting comparison to show that,
thanks to its coal, the people of Eng
land are, family for family, four
times better off than those of Athens
in its palmy days. Each Athenian
family had, on the average, five he-
lots, or slaves, to do its bidding.
Now the 'man-power" of the coal
annually consumed in Great Britain
amounts to 175,OOO,0O0, and divid-
ing this by 100000, the number of
families inhabiting the country, we
see that each of those families has
working for it the equivalent of
nearly 20 helots.-Youth's Com
panion.

WOULD DO HENRY MUCH GOOD
hRIss wife Appreciated the Bishops
Reply to Her Too Serious
Young Husband.

At the opening Of a large relig-
ieps meeting in Iowa few years ago
missionary bishop from a neigh
boring state took the usual steps
toward putting his audience in good
humor by paying some compliments
to the state in which they were as
sembled. He praised the products
of Iowa one by one, and congratu-
lated the people on living in SO rich
land.
When his speech was ended a SOL
emn young clergyman rose and said
that he ventured to call the bishops
attention to one serious omission
from the list of Iowa products,
namely-eggs. SThe bishop, album
dainty endowed with humor, prompt
ly replied, to the delight of the as
sembly:
81 am extremely glad to learn
that the hens Of Iowa have 30 COM
petent young rooster to crow for
them"
n Now, besides his humor, the bish-
up had a tender heart, and could not
help fearing that his impulsive re-
tort might have wounded the young
man-to say nothing Of the young
mans wife. When he met her at a
reception after the meeting his fears
were happily dispelled.
81 want to thank you," she said,
"for your speech-especially for
your answer to my husband. 1t will
do Henry a great deal of good"

BELLS STRANGE EFFECT.

The Church of st. Nicaise, in the
city of Rheims, is surrounded with
pillars. When a certain bell in the
tower is rung the top of one pillar al
ways sways to the extent of seven
inches on each side, although the
base is immovable, and the stones
are SO firmly cemented as to seem
like a solid piece of masonry. Not
withstanding that each of the four
bells is about the same distance from
the trembling pillar, none of the
others has the slightest effect on it.

Two Dramatic Views Of the Pacific
Ocean, More Than 400 Years
Apart.

When Balboa "gazed on the Pa
cifc, silent upon a peak in Darien,"
he was the central figure of a won
derful moment. Something more
than 400 years later another man
gazed on the Pacific under quite as
dramatic circumstances. This other
man had come out Of the air. He
had left the other ocean 1000 miles
across the continent whose narrow
extremity Balboa had crossed, and
all the way he had travelled in the
thin currents about the land and
water.
Cal. p. Rodgers, Of the unroman-
tic name, has done that which
"stout Cortez" and Balboa thought
possible only to witches and night
fears.
Our epics tell of heroes in small
spaces-Achilles and Hector, Aeneas,

NOT AN AusreRE HueuENor
New French Teacher at Wellesley
Used English When Her Finger
Was Punched.

In some recent "reminiscences Of
the earlier and simpler days at
Wellesley, when Mr.. Durant was yet
living, and showing an eager and
constant interest in the 300 lively
girls of his college family, Prof.
Katherine Lee Bates tells pleasant
anecdote of the arrival Of a new
French professor, whose first appear
ance was at the dinner table.
She had been heralded for weeks
before by Mr.. Durant's joyous proc
lamation of her high and lovely quail
tiles, her Huguenot descent, her ira
ditions of martyrdom, her heroic
type of piety. All eyes were strain
ing eagerly toward the doorway,
where, beside the gracious presence
of Miss Howard, appeared tall,

The impatient warders closed the
doors a shade too soon, and the
strangers little finger was caught
and pinched. Then upon our intent
stiffness broke the cry, 90 goshl o
goshp as, with all the charm of
French vivacity, the smarting finger
was shaken high in the air.
Our ideas of Huguenot austerity
frightened from that moment.
Mademoiselle's French and the
German of a more brilliant acquisi-
tion, Prof. Carla Wenckebach,
proved as admirable as their English
was occasionally surprising.
One of the innumerable queer
phrases attributed to Professor
Wenckebach related also to a
pinched fnger-not her own, but
that of student. 1t had been
crushed by falling window. The
professor wished to tell how severely
the finger had been hurt.
"The poor child!" she explained,
compassionately. ''Her window

JUNE IS LOSING ssCLASSo
 AS MONTH OF MARRIAGES

While in this city, as throughout
 the land, the wedding bells will ring right merrily many times this month, it's supremacy as the month of mar riages. Among the ancient. Romans June was considered the most pro- pitious month for brides, the particu- larly favorable seasons being at full moon and at the conjunction of the sun and moon This idea was preva- lentsin the Europe of the middle ages

In the United States and Canada the same condi- tions do not yet prevail, but it is like ly to be a matter of only few years until June is sent to the rear. If Gu pid and Hymen are losing their pre- ference for June, the same cannot be said of the stork. In England this month leads in the number of births, as rule, With MarCn usually second, September third and December fourth.
 A glory of which June cannot be robbed is that it is the month of the rose, the period when that most charming of the flowers spreads its petals and attains its greatest beau- ty In the days when Persia ruled the world, and was not mere bono of contention for the powers to squab- ble' over, her poets sang of the love- Illness of the "red, red rose," and ever since the world has been held cap- tive by the blushing beauty-except those pessimists who can see only the thorns. Tn Northwestern America the rose has reached it's greatest beauty, and rose festivals have become very popular in Portland, Ore. and other cities where the worship of the Queen of flowers is almost cult.

WORTH LOOKING INTo-on,

WORTH LOOKING, INTO-Our New Way of Selling Diamonds. I have devised a new way of selling my friends and customers diamonds know great many people who want a diamond, but who cannot afford to buy large one; and therefore won't buy any. These people often are un- able to save enough money to-. buy a large one. My way is a new one. My way is a good one for you. You buy a diamond for SIS, wear it is long as you wish; and when you have saved $l5 bring the diamond to me with the $15. and will give you $30 diamond. You can keep this up indefinitely. In other words, you. can be wearing a diamond all the time and still be pay ing for big one. It is an easy way for you, because you will. not miss the money and. at the same time you will not be deprived of wearing the dia- mond that you so long have wanted to wear. In case you do not understand this proposition come to me and I will take pleasure in explaining it.
