when a man Is considered the best In

ALAS FOR DAYS OF ROMANCE
One by One the stronshoIds OF the
Novelist Are Being Wrested
From Him.

One by one the abodes of romance
and mystery-likewise of discomfort
and barbarism-get progressive and
pass away. The latest place to join
the procession appears to be Bangkok.
capital of Siam, and home of the
sacred white elephant.
Perhaps that elephant still trumpets
from the royal gardens, but he soon
will be transferred to zoo and be-
come q spectacle instead of a holy
emblem. For Bangkok not only has
installed an electric power station, but
is using the surplus current of day
light hours to run rice mills. In the
presence Of that sort Of efficiency"
old-time romance sickens and dies.
It's loss is not without compensation,
to be sure Electric fans, for example,
must be handy to a place like Bang
kok, whose average temperature
throughout the year is about 81 de-
grees Fahrenheit. But what knight
ever waited for an electric fan when
rescudng his lady love FROM mys-
FERROUS zenana, and what fun is there
in raiding sultan's treasure that is
guarded by commonplace burglar
alarms instead Of by white cobras?
Alas and alack! Romance has depart
ed from Bangkok, and the geograph-
ical novelist is driven from one more
stronghold Of the imagination.

SOMETHING OF A PUZZLE
Question Concerning FemInInlty
Which 10 Not At All Easy to
Answer.

From 9 feminine source comes
question which is more easily an
swered at first than at second thought
"a question. that is, which is not
quite as simple IS it seems. 1t is this:
Does Q woman wearing q veil see,
when she looks in q mirror, what an.
other person sees who looks at her
through her veil?
On consideration one realizes that
the yelled woman looks through her
veil at an image which Is itself yelled.
and therefore she apparently looks at
herself through two wells instead of
the one which is all that dims to the
vision Of the street observer. Then
there is the further fact that in a
mirror what was right becomes left,
and vice versa, so that what one sees
there is not picture Of oneself but
Of somebody who is like oneself only
as one Of pair of gloves is like the
other.
That, however, has nothing to do
with the question as to the wells, and
that is quite complicated enough to
stand alone.

New Discoveries In Pompeji.

Most interesting ruins of Pompeii
have been unearthed during the exca
vaticrs which are being carried GU;
by the Italian government. A mag
niticent home has been discovered
and all the frescoes and vaulting are
In q perfect state. A staircase was
found intact leading from the lower
to the upper floor of the house. The
surroundings of the house have also
been explored. and several smaller
houses have been brought to light
finely adorned with pictures Of ex
quisite coloring. A few of the houses
have mosaic floors with pictures OF
scenes taken chiefly from the Trojan
war. In addition to these, the bodies
OF several persons who must have
been surprised in their houses by the
disaster which destroyed the city
have been found, and in several cases
their garments are In q very good
state Of preservation.

HOLIDAYS in America.

The question of whether or not
there are too few distinctively Ameri-
can holidays may be debatable, but
there is distinctly American holiday
in February-Washington's birthday
and February is the shortest month in
the year. Moreover it is only few
weeks distant from the universal hol-
idays of Christmas and New Years,
while Christmas is separated by bare
ly month from Thanksgiving. No.
body can say too much in honor Of
Lincoln; but Lincoln was born on the
18th Of February, a month pre-empted
for the father of his country, so far
as holidays are concerned. Lincoln
was a thorough American, and no
doubt if the proposition Of a second
holiday in February had been put be-
fore him for consideration he would
have rejected it without hesitation, ON
the purely practical ground that one
holiday in February is enough,-Ex.
