You Gould Not Mistake Him.

Persons who had been in the habit
Of traversing Covent Garden at that

few yards into Russell street, have
noticed a small, spare man, clothed in
black, who went out every morning.
and returned every afternoon as the
hands of the clock moved toward GER
tain hours. You could not mistake
him. He was somewhat stiff in his
manner and almost clerical in dress; !;
which indicated much wear. He had
q long, melancholy face, with keen'
penetrating eyes; and he walked with
a short. resoIute step cftywards. He
looked no one in the face for more
than a moment, yet e0ntriyed to see
everything as he went on. NO one
who ever studied the human feature
could pass him by without recollect-
ing his rountenance: it was full OF
sensibility. and it came upon you like
new thought, which you could not help
dwelling upon afterward; it gave rise
to meditation and did you good. This

QUEER MYTH ABOUT WILSON
Belief In Austria That, President Of the
United States 10 Really Crown
Prince Rudolph.

According to the Vienna Journal, q
serious newspaper, the rural popula-
ton Of large districts of the provinces
of Lower Austria and Syria never be-
lieved in the death Of Grown Prince
Rudolph Of Austria, who WAS assas-
sinated in the castle Of Meyerling, near
Baden. together with Countess Wees
cera in 1889.
The people refused to accept this Of
fetal statement, and their suspicion
was nourished at the time by the, fact
that the coffin of the crown prince at
the funeral was extremely small, while
the crown prince himself was a power
full man.
The story went that the crown
prince had really not been murdered
at all. but that he had fed across the
bis pond.
Ever since the war there is a grow
ing belief among the rural population
that the crown prince, who, as will

Words that have undergone re-
markable change Of meaning with the
passage of the centuries are pretty"
and nice" Both these words meant
originally almost exactly the reverse
of their present definitions. Pretty"

proud or ''prud.' In old Saxon the
word became ''prut"--magnificent.

came "prit" or ''pritle," meaning al
most the same; till at length it came

TURNED VESSEL INTO SHOP
ingenious Idea Appreciated by the
Sailors Of the British Grand Fleet
Stationed at Seapa Flow.

One of the secrets of the war was
revealed recently when a party went
down to. the Victoria docks, London, to
inspect the Wilson liner Borodino. This
ship was chartered in the early days
of the war by the Junior Army and
Navy Stores for the purpose OF sup
plying the sailors of the grand fleet
with comforts and iuxuries that they
would otherwise have had to do with
oct. One of the sea lords at the be-
ginning of the war, when the grand
feet was keeping its vigil in Scapa
Row, recognized that the officers and
men needed something to relieve the
dullness of existence while waiting
For the German feet to come out.
The suggestion was adopted. and the
sBorodino turned into a most effective
shop. Almost anything could be
ON board. while there was a
SINE laundry with a weekly collection
sand delivery, and BARRIERS shop. Five
thousand dollars a week was taken by
a41se sale of goods, including penny bars
.sdk chocolate, greatly favored by young
snsadshipmen. The latest in fancy
soaps. shaving creams. new hooks, the
finest chocolates, and an abundance of
fresh meat, fish and vegetables helped
sto make life more bearabie in the cold
.=and dismal surroundings Of Scapa.
