vo,,tbful Authors.

Although it was not published until a year or two later, it is probable that Keats wrote his famous "Ode to Au- tRmn" in his sixteenth year, and, fn- deed, all his five great odes, among the greatest in any language. before he at tained legal manhood. He died at twenty-five, so that all the great mas terpieces which came from his pen may be regarded as the production of a boy. Robert Burns wrote that scath- ing satire, ''Holy Willie's Prayer when he had barely passed his youth, and indeed, the whole of the poems in the famous Kilmarnock edition, copy of which sold some little time since for E550, were written before he was twenty-five. But even the precocity of Burns was put in the shade by that of Chatterton, who committed suicide in a it of despair in a London garret when he was seventeen. He wrote the whole huge volume of the Rowley poems when he was a schoolboy at Bristol.

LuxurY on snlnhoard.

Sumptuously furnished vessels were known centunes ago. The ship that Ar chimedes designed for Hiero H., king of Syracuse, not only was wonderfully decorated-the story of the Iliad was told in marquetry, but there were flow CT beds on the promenade deck, a gym nasium, staterooms with three beds, library, bathroom with hot and cold water, tables and horses, fish ponds and many fair rooms paved with agate and precious stones. And this vessel was designed as a carrier of wheat It was first named the Syracusan, but afterward the Alexandrian. Archime- Jus wrote a poem in its honor, and Hiero, in gratitude and appreciation, sent him a thousand measures of cheese and thoughtfully prepaid the expense. Moschion gives detailed de- scription of this ship. Then there was the Egyptian vessel, the joy of Ptolemy PhiIopator, with galleries and prom enades, a temple of Venus with her statue, a drinking hall, belvederes, grotto the sides of which were deco rated with precious stones set in or naments of gold.-Boston Herald

.sin,

The sacred codish carved in wood is to be seen on the walls of the hall of representa- ives in the statehouse at Boston. It occupies a place of honor between two classic pillars immediate ly opposite the desk of the speaker. Bostonians aver that this is the orig inal sacred codfish of the old colony and that it has had place in the halls of the lawmakers of Massachusetts for over 15O years. It is a relic of the as- sembly hall that gave way to the pres ent statehouse. The following is the origin generally assigned to it:
 One Captain John Welch of Boston was the creator and carver of the fa- nous fish. In his time he was held to be a wood carver of no mean abil- ity. He established himself in Dock square in 1747 A member of the An cient and Honora ble Artillery compa- ny, Welch rose in time to its captain cy. He was called on to contribute to the decoration of the colonial assem- ply hall, and as at that period codfish was the colony's main article of export Welch conceived the notion of fmmor- talking it.-Harper's.

Ordinary canal boats are used, but the power is furnished by men. On the roof of the tunnel arch are cross pieces, and the men do the work of propulsion by lying on their backs on the coal and pushing with their feet against the crossbars on the roof-Ar- gonaut.
