there and has since been looking for
a location. He has visited a number
of cities but has found none that seem
to him to have the certain future that
Virginia has and has accordingly de.

The Chief obstacle.

The French are not inclined to take
things too seriously. Thus, while they
love and respect the venerable French
academy. they never refrain from max
ing 1t the subject of little good ma
tured wit Even the members them
selves, as this entry In Victor Hugo's
notebook will show, indulge themselves
in occasional sallies against the ia
nous institution.
On Dec. II, 1876, Victor Hugo, him
self one Of the forty Immortal mem
bers Of the academy, wrote In his note
book To-day, Thursday. in the acad-
envy. l spoke there with DupIn the
elder about BalZac and Of his chances
Of election to the academy. Thunder
Dupin interrupted me. so you really
believe that, without any more to do,
Balzac will be chosen the first time he
comes up for election.
"'You quote examples where that
has occurred, but those prove nothing
Think Of It! Balzac. at the first pres
entation Of his name! You have thought
the matter over carefully? Good! But
you have forgotten one reason why 1t
is quite impossible that Balzac should
be elected to the academy-he de-

China's famous iron mine, the Tayeh,
the foremost In the far east, Is espe-
cially notable for the ease with which
1t Is worked. 1t stands peerless In the
world In this respect, excavation re-
Quiring no machine power The work
is done by hand by the Chinese coolies.
The mine is reputed to be inexhausti-
BILE in Its ore. In the days OF the three
kingdoms" the locality formed a thea
ter Of bloody fighting, and the vicinity
abounds In relics of that memorable
period in Chinese history. 1t Is about
$3.50 Chinese miles from Picking over
land and about 1880 Chinese miles by
water. Tayehhsien is traversed by
ranges OF hills and mountains, the val
legs of which abound In innumerable
lakes of all sizes, with water course
facilities. Consequently the locality Is
rich in scenery of great beauty, and
the Chinese poets from olden times
have never tired Of singing of the
eight views" of Tayeh. In the neigh
borhood Of the Tayeh iron mine are
found the ruins Of ancient iron foun-
dries, probably 1000 years old Millions
Of tons Of Stag lie In heaps.

Wasp Wasted cretans.

In describing the civil guards at
Canea, Mr.. Trevor-Battye In Camping
In Crete" alludes to the slender waists
Of the Cretan men:
One point about the figures Of these
men, he says. as of all the mountain
villagers, is the extreme smallness Of
their waists. which in some cases are
almost wasplike. 1t Is interesting to
observe that this has always been a
Cretan characteristic, for the figures
on the frescoes and vases In the MI
moan section Of the museum in Can
dia (e. g., the famous "Cup Bearer'C
have the same remarkable slenderness
Of waist.
He Is not sure whether this slim
waist is natural or whether produced
by tight betting.

Harvard's First BuiIdino.

No man now living can describe as
an eyewitness the crudities of Har-
wards first building, where the ground
floor was devoted TO academic uses, re-
ligious and literary exercises and the
purpose of refectOry, kitchen and but
terry, while above were students quar-
tiers, mere cells Of the rudest sort.
The building was far from weather
proof, and more air than light was ad-
mitted by the windows, which were
only partly glazed, oiled paper serving
elsewhere to let In few OF the suns
rays and keep out the "coarsest of the
cold" as Artemus Ward said when he
hung an old hoopskirt over his cham
Der window at the country hostelry In
midwinter Ash.
Not even the most rudimentary of
table equipment was supplied at the
college eating room. His own knife
and fork were carried by each student
when he went to dinner, and after he
had finished he wiped them on the ia
blecloth.-Dial.

Settled the Question.

In Regensburg, In the middle ages,
the headsman died and three appli-
cants presented themselves for the
post. A test Of their skill would set
tie the matter. Accordingly three
criminals were brought forth for
slaughter.
The first headsman made with his
sword tiny nick In the first criminals
neck. "Pll lop him off just there"
he said, and, swinging his sword round
with great swishing sound, Iol he did
as he had said he would.
The second headsman tied string
round his criminals neck. "I'l cut
on his head and bisect the string" he
said. And he did as he had promised
These two first headsmen now began
to study and ponder the neck of the
third criminal, asking what proof of
skill the third headsman should under
take. when the latter with one vast
and splendid sword sweep cut off all
three heads, thus finishing the crimi.
nal and his rivals together and win
ming the Workmanship Of Regensburg
amid the applause Of all.

Japanese Flower Etieu.tts.

To order a dozen or two of roses or
carnations Unfortunately over the
telephone, to be delivered in a paste
board box by florists boy, as a gift
to friend would mean lack of re-
fnement to a japanese, writes Grace
II. Bagley in Suburban Life. In fact,
ignorance of flower lore might result
In disastrous blunder. II, for example,
you sent a purple wistaria, however
exquisite In itself, to bride she would
hardly forgive you, since purple is a
color of bad omen, never to be used
on felicitous occasions On the other
hand, you would convey a delicate
compliment by sending chrysanthe-
NUNS, because, on account Of their
long period Of blooming, they signify
long life. A peony sent to a friend is
a fattering recognition Of his distinc-
ton, as it is suitable only for those of
high rank.

ITO Keep Youna."

Youth Is what we all love to have
and to hold. and since Ponce de Icons
time many way Of conserving 1t has
been rescribed-dOsage, drinking sour
milk, systems Of exercise. bathing, rub
bling. Any one Of these things may
help the individual, but not every in
dividual. And let us not forget that
youth is in great measure a gift of the
spirit Children are young because for
them life abounds. They find springs of
energy within and stores of refreshment
without. Wonder curiosity, the enjoy
ment Of ten thousand trifies, short
memory for punishment and pain all
these things make for youth. Quarrels,
resentfulness. suspicion, worry, crouch
iness-these bring harder lines around
the mouth. hardened arteries, old age.
Nothing is too small to delight child,
given the right conditions; nothing too
big to darken for very long the span
gled sky. That is the secret of youth.
