A great many swords we're brought
home after the war between the states
welded in the middle. because the
young officers who owned them had
Dragged about THEN elasticity and had
broken them in trying 70 demonstrate
1t. The tragedy happened in this way:
The young officer in setting out for
the war had been given fine sword
by his adniring friends at home. He
was told AID made to believe that his
sword was of tried Damascus or Toledo
steel and that it would bend double
without breaking. In camp somewhere
the young captains and lieutenants
would faIl to vomiting their trusty
blades, and on let one of them would
stick the point of his sword into a
tree and begin to bend the hilt around
to meet the point. And just as the hilt
came around the blade snapped in two
in the middle. Very few of these pres
entation swords were as Damascus or
as Toledo as they were supposed to be.)
After that the two parts of the sword
had to be welded. and the weapon
shows the welding to this dsy.-New

Ole OF the chief characteristics Of
the human race is nquisitivenessEnot
SO much about things and places and
ideas as about each other. Every
proIer person is a born gossip and
the accomplished scandal moneer ia
alwiys welcome, provided. of course,
his scandal is about others. You can
test this at. any time by considering
who are the people you like best to

By tie greatest number of idle actIuair-
tances. Invariably you must be forced
to the conclusion they are those who
have, made business Of acquiring in
formation about others and retailing
theil' knowledge In various dressings.
This love of gossip is further revealed
in the kind of books which claim the
widest appreciation. You will find
that these books ere not poetry, drama,

Ancient GaIIantry.

The respect and veneration paid to
the fair sex formed an essential ingre-
dent in chivalry. Principle of female
alteration so predominently displayed
in every aspect of chivalry extended It's
influence to the laws of the times. for
we find James II. of Aragon ordering
in this manner: I'VE will that every
man, whether knight or no, who shall
be in company with a lady pass safe
and unmolested unless he be guilty of
murder
And Louis H., Duke Of Bourbon, in
stituting the order Of the Golden Shield,

FAMOUS DIAMONDS.
The cuIIinan In the Rough Weighed
One and One third Pounds.


One and One-thrd Pounds.
Until 1905 the largest diamond
known was the Excelsior, found in
1893 at Jagersfontein by a native
while loading a truck. 1t weighed
973 carats and was cut ultimately into
ten stones weighing from thirteen TO
sixty-eight carats. All previous dis
coveries were surpassed in 1905 by
the finding of stone weighing 3,025A
carats. or one and a third pounds. in
the Premier mine in the Transvaal.
The Transvaal government bought
this stone and presented it to King
Edward, ii having become known as
the Cullinan diamond. In 1908 it was
sent to Amsterdam and there cut into
nine large stones and a number of small
ones. The largest one weighed 516Ia
carats and is the largest brilliant in
existence. All are of the finest quality
and flawleSs.
The Kohinoor in its earliest known
state weighed 1861 carats, but was
later cut 10 log.
Other famous diamonds, some from
Brazil, some from India or BOrneO.
others from Kimberley. are the Star
Of the South, weighing 254l2 carats:
the Regent or Pitt diamond, weighing
1856 carats after several cuttings; the
Daryal-nur, weighing 1S6 carats. in the
possession of the Shah of Persia; the
Tiffany, weighing 125ls carats; the Vic

Old London cookshops.

Medieval London. besides being a
"city of taverns," was famous for its
cookshops, such as the place on the
river bank described by Fitzstephen tn
the thirteenth century: ''There every
day ye may call for any dish of meat.
roast, fried or sodden, fish both small
and great venison and fowl. If friends
come upon a sudden wearied with
travel to a citizens house and they be
loath to wait for curious preparations
and dressings of fresh meat let the
servant run to the water side, where
all things that can be desired are at
hand" This particular place of public
cookery apparently did an indoor as
well as an outdoor trade, for Fitz-
stephen further described 1t as being
used both day and night by multi
tudes of soldiers or other strangers
who refresh themselves to their con-
tent on roast goose, the fowl of Afri-
ca and the rare gadwit of Ionia." But
what were the two last mentioned
viends ?--London Standard.

GOVERNOR FRANCIS 4. MCGoYERN
has at last announced his candidacy
for the u. S. Senate to succeed Isaac
Stephenson. 1t is a move to eventu-
ally down La Toilette and with
Stephenson backing it, and Meow
ern's record as governor, he has
very slim chance. McGoyern has sue
ceeded in piling the taxes upon the
people of Wisconsin so that they
simply want to get from under, and
the result is going to be that the
democrats will win if they have sense
enough not to get into wrangle
among themselves. What is wanted
is unity of action. If the party can
not unite upon any now named, let it
cast about and select a man for the
United States Senate and a state
ticket that will be satisfactory to all
democrats. If they cannot do that
then they deserve to be defeated
again.

The Suicide Symphony.

The idea that music may be harm
ful-that it can create a fever in the
blood dangerous to life and reason
will come as a revelation to many.
Friedrich Nietzsche, the well known
German philosopher. declared that
there is something in some music most
which acts unfavorably on the brain
and nerves of many people. Tschai-
kowsky's baleful influence cannot be
denied. He destroyed himself after
composing his famous Sixth Sym
phony," and as several have died by
their own hands after playing 1t it has
come to be known as the suicide SYM
phony."
