ENTIRE CABINET
!. OF Won SEYDLER
HAS RESIGNED
Resignation Due to- Opposii
. ton Of Polish Defaties
I. Against Debates.

Amsterdam, Feb. s.-Dr Won Seyd-
Ter, the Austrian premier, has tender
ed the resignation, of his entire cabinet
to Emperor Charles, according to a
dispatch from Vienna. T.
The resignation Of the Won Seydler
cabinet, it is understood in parlia-
mentary circles in Vienna, is due to
the opposition Of Polish deputies
against special debates and the pro-
visiona1 budget. The opposition of
the deputies makes majority for the
budget doubtful. Y@
President Gross of the lower house,
announcing the resignation, said that
according to the constitution it was
necessary to postpone temporarily the
httings Of the house.
The cabinet of DR.. Won Seydler,
which was formed last June. was re-
ported to have resigned during the
recent labor crisis In Austria Hungary.
This report, however, was not con-
firmed. I
DR.. Won seydler was able to bring
about the cessation Of the strike by
informing labor delegations on, Janu-
ary 20 that 1t was the. wish of the
Austrian emperor. to end the war al
the earliest; possible moment by an
honorab Die apeace. Other members OF
his government promised labor and
military reforms, after which the
labor leaders ordered their followers
to return to work. This virtually
ended the strike in Vienna. ];

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless Grimalkins Are
Fed at Cloister Of San Lorenzo
In Florence, Italy.

From time immemorial the stray cats
Of Florence, Italy, have been cared
for. The cloister Of San Lorenzo is
sacred to poor puss. 1t is overlooked
by the windows Of the famous Lau-
rentfan library, built by Michelangelo
for Pope Clement VII to house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
etc, collected from house after house,
are emptied into the dry moat roGnd
the grass. Toward feeding time one
may see cats Of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tawny. and
white, male and female, young and old
-basking in the sun and licking their
chops.
Finally, when the food is brought.
from every direction cats crowd in,
kissing at one another. mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up Of IN
considered trifies come round to Sc
cure the pieces Of paper etc.. for rags.
When a lost cat is found in the city
II is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is taken
30 the Baptistry of st. Johns to be
ehristened. Moreover, when people
wish to get rid Of their cats, they
20 not poison them or leave them to be
Starved in empty houses, but send them

MAYAS INDIANS BEFORE iNCASl
Race That Has Long Since Dlsap-
peared Ranked With the Axtecs
In Scale Of Civilization.

Prescott's Conquest of Peru ac-
counts for the popular belief that all
the people Of this country were In
cas-. The truth is that the greatest
part Of the textiles of ancient Peru
belongs to a people that had passed
away before the Incas tribes reached
the coast.
The Mayas were the ancient race
Of Indians which settled In the low
lands Of Guatemala In Central Amer
lea. They ranked with the Aztecs in
civilization. They e1celled in sculp-
ture, cotton weaving and feather
work. About the sixth century they
are supposed to have disappeared.
They left behind them cities like an
Client Quirigua, now a mass Of ruins
overgrown by the jungle. Half
buried by tropical growth today the
Psychologists are uncovering huge
monoliths sculptured with strange de-
signs and each bearing a giant face.
The Mayas have disappeared, but
the Indians, forming more than half
the population Of Guatemala, are their
direct heirs.
Their br1ght-colored blankets and
scarfs, their primitive methods Of
barter, their open-air markets filed
with great heaps Of strange stuffs and
articles, should capture the magma
ton Of any modern textile designer
with ideas.

Best Conditions for Sleep.

The best time for sleeping Is that
time that will favor the greatest de-
oree of relaxation. With most people
tAis Is some time during the hours
sf darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses Of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough Of them. The so-called beau
y sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight, Is fact only be-
eGuse it adds to the number OF hours
which, under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend in bed.
Most Of US get up at about the same
time every morning-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't
word Of truth In the old fable that
one hour Of sleep before midnight is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
u sleep, provided only that 1t is sound,
restful sleep-whether we get it at
eight o'clock in the evening, two
o'clock In the morning. or one o'clock
the next afternoon. If we can get
our sleep undiluted by disturbance so
much the better.

PLACE OF DISMAL HISTORY
Roanoke Island Known to Fame Be-
cause It Was Site Of RaIeloh's
llI-Fated Colony.

Off desolate stretch of sandy beach
IN North Carolina lies Roanoke island,
the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the
first English child born in America.
Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible
for Roanoke island being placed on the
pages Of history, for in 1856 he sent out
9 colonizing expedition to America, and
fate and the rough winds of the Allan
tic cast the ship up on Roanoke Is
land On account Of the climate. the
lack Of food and the ubiquitous In
dian the island was voted as unin-
h8bitable by the colonists, who packed
their belongings and took the next
ship back to England and civilization.
But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent
ed to stay. and the man In charge of
the expedition returned with the glad
news. Four years later, when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh sent him to report on the
progress Of the colony, he found on
the island no trace Of settlers or set.
Element save the inscription "Croatan"
carved on a tree. Sir Walter then
gave up the Roanoke island project as
hopeless.
Roanoke island has now been In
habited for many years, chiefly by fish
ermen and life-savers. The latter are
negroes from the coast guard station
at Pea island, which is separated from
Roanoke island by the sound. Pea
island, the only coast guard station In
this country manned by negroes, is off
q dangerous section of the coast. A
derelict ship cast on the beach is suck.
ed farther into the sands by each
tide. The colored guardsmen have
established an excellent record in
q trying and dangerous station.-Chl-

NOT WORK OF ARCHITECTS
scoloniaf" Buildings Which Stand az
Models Were the Product Of the
Carpenters BRAIN.

II IL a remarkable fact that the three
buildings in Philadelphia which are
regarded as peculiarly characteristic.
and which may be said to have set
the style for similar structures In this
country, were designed by amateur
architects. These buildings are the
Girard National bank, Christ church
and independence hall. which probably
should have been mentioned In re-
verse order.
While the colonies developed sew
eral promising painters. the architects
province, until the approach Of the last
century, seems to have been relegated
to the carpenter and builder. virtu-
ally all Of the buildings that we most
revere as excellent examples Of the
colonial style are the products Of car
penters and not of architects. There
was no specializing in those days, and
the carpenter studied the refinements
OF architectural style and such en-
cheering as was used also came from
the same hand.
At the same time, 1t must be re-
membered that the carpenter IN those
DAYS did not have to depend upon the
mill to make his woodwork, but the
holdings, the window frames and such
other woodwork as he required he
made himself or had made by other
carpenters under his direction. This
circumstance called for ability In de-
signing and skill in cutting wood, and
the result Is shown in the many exist
ing examples Of colonial building.

Another year passed, busy year
for Tom, year IN which he learned
many things. For one, he discovered
that the world is big place, with big
reople who have big ideals and broad,
fair minds. He found that his own
point Of view didn't count for much
In the general scheme Of things any
more than the fly on the elephants
back could lead the parade; that one
ives not for himself but for the good
Of humanity, and that sacrifice brings
The greatest happiness one can know.
His thoughts were full Of Laura
these days. As spring advanced ana
the lilacs in the farmers gardens
spread their fragrance through the air
ind the blossoms IN the ORCHARDS
waited their sweetness Of promise
across the fields, a queer sort Of rest
lerness seized him. He felt that he
would give up anything he possessed
or had ever hoped for for sight Of
her. He knew not where she WAS 1t
was months since he had heard any
thing about her at all. The old aunt
had left South Greenwich and no one
else seemed to know.
There was concert that night IN
Ii Y NJ. @. A. Everyone was shaw
ing and putting on a clean shirt to go.
But Tom wandered across the road
from the barracks and sat on fence
watching the moon come up and think
irc Of Laura and the night two years
before when she told him she had
n.eant to go.
After a while things grew quiet;
then across the stiffness Of the night
came a few chords on a plano and a
sweet feminine voice sang, Keep the
Home Fires Burning"
A lump rose in Toms throat There
was no one to keep the home fires
barning for him. He had wanted
Laura to, but-well there was no use
going over 1t again. After all, per.
laps, It was better. II he had mar
ried her he'd never have enlisted, and
the country called. And he didn't
blame her. She had right to go If
she wanted.
The last notes died away and the
night was very quiet.

He was so startled ne dropped from
the fence. Laura, vision In white,
stood beside him.
"Why didn't you come TO the con-
cert, Tom2 I looked for you" she
asked quietly.
'1-I-what did you sing that song
for?" he asked suddenly; you don't
believe It"

The only thing. I've given up the

Of success. I'm going to sting IN SOL

arms as If he would never let her go.

Floating islands.

Many floating islands have at various
periods been found voyaging on the
Atlantic. These islands were original
" part Of the low lying river banks,
which broke away under stress of
storm or food and hoated out to sea.
The Orinoco, the Amazon. the La Plata
and other tropical rivers often send
forth such pieces Of their shores. Some
of the bits of land are Of large size

ANGLING FOR RICH PATRONS
How New York Mllliner Catches the

'Those for whom the spider spread
Its web were not the wealthy and
questionable women of New York,
but wealthy and prompt customers
from the middle West. These are the
people who make money for every

extremely efflcacious, and 1t was not
