ONLY ONE IDEA IN HIS MIND
French Bookworm Travelled $50 Miles
In Gown and Slippers to Buy
Priced Volume.

None of the deeper human passions
is more absorbing than the blameless
n that a book-lover feels for the
inanimate object Of his affection. A
French paper illustrates this fact in
psychology by the following story:
A bookworm living at Bordeaux,
while glancing through the catalogue
of a Paris bookseller, saw the title of
a book that he had greatly desired for
80 years. He looked at. the clock and
found that there was just time 70
catch a train for Paris. He seized
some money from his cash box, rush
ed OF to the station, and arrived at
the booksbop In time to secure the
prize. AS the shopman wrapped up
the book, he remarked:
IT suppose you live in this street,
monsieur?"
mo, I have just come from Bor-
deaux," was the reply.
The mans look Of establishments
caused the %bibliophile to realize that
he had travelled $50 miles In his dress
ing gown and slippers, and had never
noticed the incongruity in his attire.

When Men Carried Muffs.

We would call men effeminate II
they carried muffs, but for nearly a
century. beginning In the reigr of
George III, they were as much used
by men as by women. We see them
still on the stage when old plays like
School for Scandal" are revived, and
the sight OF them is curious In our
eyes. Quaint %conceits there were in
those times and earlier with regard to
muffs. many Of which have been re-
peated to please modern women. AS
long ago as 1903 there are records. In
the wardrobe accounts Of Prince Hen
ry, Of two embroidered muffs, one of
cloth Of silver embroidered with
"purles, plates and Venice twists of
silver and gold, the other Of black
sateen embroidered with black silk
and bugles."

IT WAS BLOT ON HIS LIFE
Horrible Use to Which the eulHotInO

Inventor.

The man whose name has acquired
SO painful a celebrity by being assim-
Hated to his invention, was M. Guillo-
tin a learned physician, who had In
vented, W years before, the fnstru-
ment Of death which he deemed best
calculated to abridge the suferings OF
the culprits condemned to forfeit their
lives by the sentence of the laws. The
invention was laid hold Of for the pur-
pose OF ~"expediting" a greater. num-
Der of victims. Such was the express
sion used by a member Of the conven-
ton.
NJ. Guillotin was inconsolable for
what he considered as an. Involuntary
blemish in his existence. His syener-
able contenance bore the impress Of
a settled gloom, and his hair, of a
snowy whiteness, afforded a clear in
dication of his mental sufferings. He
had aimed at relieving the sorrows of
human nature, and he unintentionally
contributed to the destruction OF a
greater number of human beings. Had
they been put to death in a less .expe-
ditious manner, the people might, have
soon grown weary Of those executions,
which they showed the same eager
ness to behold as they would have
done a theatrical representation.

WISE JUDGMENT IN TURKEY
How scutari Magistrate Determined
Ownership of a Cow That Had
Been. Stolen.

All readers Of the Arabian Nights
are familiar with the manner in which
the Oriental magistrates dispensed
Justice, with more regard to equity
than to law. Instances of the same
kind are not wanting in modern Tur-
key.
A judgment worthy of Solomon, az
homely and almost as wise, was pro-
nounced by a magistrate in Scutari.
1t came about in this way:
A peasant living near that place
lost his COW. About two months later
he happened to be standing at a rail-
way station, watching a trainload of
cattle about to be sent across the from
tier. Suddenly he gave a shout. He
had seen his COW among those cattle.
The trainmen only laughed at him,
however. when he demanded that COW.
The good man ~thereupon sought out q
magistrate, who listened patiently to
his story. Then he pronounced this
Judgment: THE COW shall be taken
to the public square and MIXED. Then,
If 1t goes of its own accord to the
plaintiffs stable, it shall belong to
him."
The order Of the court was execut-
ed. The COW, in spite Of its two
months absence, took without hest.
tation the lane which brought it, a few
minutes later, into the peasants
stable.

Lauahable Practical Joke.

An amusing scene was witnessed In
a Birmingham, England, street, the
other day. An ingenious person tied
the reel Of a fishing rod to a lamp
post near the bottom of the street and
fixed the hook in the back of a friends
overcoat near the neck. The result
was that the person walked up the
street gradually unwinding the line
and causing the many people wishing
to cross the much frequented thor
oughfare either to go under the line
or to wait until the fun was finished.
The man hearing the hook and unroll.
ing the line walked up the street with
great dignity and contentmert until
he reached the next cross street where
he was informed of the Inconvenience
he was causing.
