An Ingenious Ruse.

Herodotus tells of an ingenious ruse
employed to carry an important mes,
sage through the lines of the enemy.
Histiaeus. being anxious to give Arts
tagoras orders to revolt, could think of
no means to send the message to his
ally. as all the roads were carefully
guarded. Finally he hit upon scheme.
Calling his trustiest servant to him. he
ordered that the mans hair be shaver
off. He then pricked the desired mes
sage on the scalp of the slave and.
waiting until his hair was grown out.
dispatched him upon the errand. The
messenger passed safely through the
lines. and when he reached Arista goras
his head was again shaved and the
message read.

PONGEES HARD TO MATCH.
Because Each Piece Is Made From
One Lot of Raw Silk.


Pongee silk is the undyed silk of
silkworms fed on the leaves of scrub
oak chiefly, though other trees are
used in some portions of the pongee
district. The silk is produced almost
exclusively in Shantung province and
portions of north China Immediately
adjacent.
The real pongee cloth. made of this
uDcolored specially produced silk, is
distinct from the pongees of COM
merce made in all colors from other
silk. Each piece of cloth is made
from particular lot of silk. and
therefore each piece varies from all
other pieces in exact quality, weight
and f1neness and in slight degree in
color and other qualities.
There are certain general grades OF
cloth. certain varieties of weave, cor
tain popular weights. etc. but women
shopping In Chinese pongees find it
very difficult to match pieces. and on
the face of things it is practically i'm
possible to furnish any great number
of pieces of certain weight, grade
and quality such as modern clothing
manufacturing establishment would
require to standardize certain line of
garments from that particular CLOTH

TALES OF CATS.
Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower of London.

Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower of London.
Two stories OF the intelligence and
sympathy Of our feline friends were
told me during one Of my numerous
visits to the Tower Of London while
was living In England.
Southampton was prisoner In the
Tower with the Earl of Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way
or by some unrecognized faculty a ia
vorite cat Of his found his abode and
suddenly appeared TO him, having made
an entrance down the chimney. After
his release by James l., Southampton
had his picture painted with his faith
full friend at his side The portrait l
believe. can today be seen at Wilbeck
abbey.
The other tale is Of Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was committed to the Tower dur
ing the reign Of Richard Ill. and suf-
fered much from want Of clothing aud
food. He would have perished II cat
had not come down into his room and
warmed him by lying on bis breast
and saved him from starvation by
bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads. Although the
keeper was under orders not to i'm
prove his food. he agreed to cook any
thing whih Sir Henry provided. and
the pigeons which the cat brought
saved his life. He also had a picture
painted showing the cat offering q pig
con through the bars Of his cell.-Oul

BEYOND THE TOMB.
Victor Huso's Views on the lmmer-
tality Of the Soul.

VI WV 0Se"
Victor Hugo's opinion on the question
Of life beyond the grave was a remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in a future world. He
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times.
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for
ever Inasmuch as he felt In bis soul
thousands of hymns, dramas and po-
ems that had never found expression.
When the atheists would say to him,
THE proof that you will not exist In
the future is that you did not exist in
the past" Hugo would answer:
"Who told you did not exist in the
past centuries2 You will say that is
the legend of the ages. The poet has
written, Life is a fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said a thousand
times written. You do not believe In
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember thousand and
one scenes and events of your present
life? Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that j can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts2
''The tomb is dark, and when shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
will be almost wholly strangers to me,
but 1t will always be the same SOUL"

MOCK WINDOWS.
They W.-e Common In England When
Real Ones Were Taxed.


The window tax in England, a very
old tax commencing In the reign Of
William ILL.,. was not discontinued un-
til Lord Halifax changed It to the
house duty in 1851.
1t must have caused a great amount
of consumption, anaemia and other foul
air maladies, for In 1850 there were
only an average OF six windows In
English houses. Indeed, the British
architects are not yet free from the bad
influence Of this tax.
In very many old houses in England
today there may be seen mock windows
painted on the walls for symmetry
hideous things. Not only were glazed
windows taxed. but any hole in the
wall was included. Indeed, in the early
days only very rich people in England
had glass windows, and SO precious
were these that they were carried from
one house to another when people
moved their quarters.
Curious lodges were practiced to es'
cape the tax, such as extending one
window across two houses or making q
very wide division between two panes
of glass. The loss to the nation must
have been a hundredfold the revenues
collected from this bad tax.-Boston

Tho Monteneurins,

1t Is only in recent years that Monte
negrins have begun to appreciate the
services of the hospital. Hume Bea-
man, after visiting the country In 1880,
wrote that the people take very little
care of their children, and only the
sound and strong grow up. In after
life, too, they are extremely averse to
sanitary precautions or medical treat
ment, and sick Montenegrin is almost
synonymous with dead man. At least
he at once gives himself up and, II he
reeovers, looks upon 1t as a curious
freak In natures laws. The few who
reluctantly submit to losing an arm or
leg invariably refuse anaesthetics
and converse with their friends, smOk-
ing cigarette while the knife and
saw are at work"

De Lesseps was the hero of the
hour Had he rested upon his laurels
his reputation would have remained
unsullied throughout his life.
But de Lesseps had another dream
and in 1881 organized a French COM
pany whose purpose was to cut a
canal through the Isthmus of Panama.
The French government authorized the
company, which had capital of $780,
900, 900, to proceed with its prodigious
tasks. BY 1889, IL miles of the canal
had been cut.
Then came the collapse. On inves-
tigation by the French government, it
was discovered that through graft.
bribery and fraud, the company had
gotten away with fully $3.50, 900. 900.
De Lesseps died Dec. Z, 1894, of a
broken heart, due to the disgrace
brought on him by the failure of his
pet company to do what it had set out
to accomplish.
