It consisted of buying houses on fire. The speculator hurried to the scene, attended by slaves carry Ing bags of money and others carrying tools, judged the chancer of salvage and made a bid to the distracted house owner, who was glad to accept any thing, as a rule. The bargain struck in all haste, this earliest of fire assurers set his slaves to work and secured what he could. Sometimes even he put out the flames and so made a coup. It was a business for capitalists, but the poorest who speculated in a small way could hardly lose if he had pres ence of mind enough to grasp the chances. Thus Cato the Elder, as well as Crassus, laid the foundation of his great wealth. He gradually collected a force of carpenters, masons and such artificers-slaves, of course which reached 50) men. Not only did he buy houses on fire, but also, enlarg ing upon the common practice, he made a bid for those adjoining which stood in danger. His proposals were com monly welcoine, we learn, so helpless were the people and so great the peril. By this means Crassus became the greatest owner of house property in Rome. Rulers by Divine Right. Charlemagne was the first great ruler who proclaimed himself king and emperor by divine right. He did not allege, however, that the divine right had come to him direct from heaven, but based his claim on the fact that the bishop of Rome, then the spiritual ruler of the Christian world, had anointed him and placed the crown of the holy Roman empire on his head. The term "Dei Cratia" ("by divine right" or "the grace of God") was thus used to express the right to rule as coming from the head of the church until the days of. Luther and the refor mation. Then the power of the church was, so- shaken that rulers no longer felt sure that they could- rest- unchal lenged on their right to rule as given to- them by Rome. So the term "by divine right" became construed as meaning that the kings .ruled by. right of God's will as expressed in the Old Testament, in which God is .recorded as having chosen-king himself to rule the people.-Exchange. The. Term "Greenhorn." The term "greenhorn" originated in this way: The pioneers of the west were much given to hunting deer. It was a fact known to the early settlers that when the horn of a fawn began to grow there was a ring of green hair around the spot where the horn was coning out. It. was considered a dis graceful thing for a hunter to kill a fawn, a cruel act, and the killing time was regulated by the growth of the horn. There was a sort of unwritten law that. no one should kill a male fawn before its horns could be seen. A-person -who was so unthoughtful as to kill s deer under the proper age was called a "greenhorn.": He was so named becasethe young horn of the deer and thehair around it were still green. The use of the appellation gradually spread until it was applied to all raw or inex perienced youths or persons easily im posed upon. Baa. Its. Teeth In Its Stomach. :There is a curious snake (Hydraci yetl) in South Africa that lives wholly upon birds' eggs. It has no teeth or signs of teeth in the mouth, its whole dental array being located in the stom ach. Buckl-and says that they are not true teeth, but that they serve all pur poses. They grow from the center of each vertebra. They pass through the walls of the stomach and are covered with enamel, just like true teeth. This is nature's provision for breaking eggs without running the risk of losing the precious contents, as would be the case if this egg eating serpent had its teeth in the proper place. When the egg is safely inside, the abdominal walls con tract and crush it against that long row of vertebral teeth. .Queer British Place Names. There are some places with curious nmes in the United Kingdom, as will be seen'on reference to the Post-Office Guide. The following places with names. significant to our readers will be found, in theissue of this year: Hos pital, Orphan Homes, Hydropathic, The- Ward, -Bath,.

South African "wafels" vastly differ from our waffles merely in being made with wine as a "moistener" rather than with milk for the principal liquid ingredient. In South Africa when they are going to make "wafels" they take a pound of flour, three-quarters of a pound of butter, half a pound of sugar, eight eggs, half a pint of wine and a teaspoonful of sifted cinnamon. The butter and eggs are creamed; then they mix in alternately cone egg and one spoonful of flour, add the wine and spice and bake in a waffle iron. - The Doctor's Way. Dr. Kallomell--I can cure you at once by an operation or in about six months by external applications and internal remedies. Patient-Which would you advise. doctor? Dr. Kallomnell (maldng a mental cal culation)-Well, it is immaterial. The expense will be. about the same In either case.-Chicago Tribune. A Weeping Tree. A. species,. of tree found in Oregon, Washington, Montana and British Co lumbia continually drips pure and clear water from the ends of its leaves and branches. The tree :is a species of fir. The "weeping" is attributed to a re markable power of condensation pecul iar to the leaves and bark. The tree drips as copiously on bright and clear as on cloudy days.. Cordial Shakes and Others. "When you have money," says the Manayunk philosopher, "there are men who will shake you effusively by the hand, and when it's gone they will shake you altogether."-Philadelphia Record. In a Nutshell. "Success" is..spelled with seven let ters. Of the seven only one. is found in "fame" and one in "money," but three are found in "happiness."-New York World. The Artist's Aim. Friend-But-er-what's the idea of the work? I dont quite grasp it. Artist-The idea is to sell it.-Chica The Honeymoon. It is said by some authorities that the honeymoon, or month after mar riage, takes its sweet sounding title from a practice of the ancieit Teutons, who drank honey wine (hydromel) for thirty days after a wedding. A far more simple and direct deriva tion is found in associations common to many times and people. The words month and moon have come to us from one source, the Anglo-Saxon mona, which is formed from an old root, ma, to measure. The moon thus measures time, and Dryden links it with its kindred month when he speaks of "one revolving moon." Honey is an obvious equivalent for anything enjoyable and sweet, and Shakespeare attaches it closely to the tender passion when he says, "honeying and making love." Anthony Trollope has used honey moon as a verb---Some decent sort of body to honeymoon along with me," and in an old volume of the London Tatler there is an interesting sentence which clinches the connection between moon and month-"Sometimes the par ties fly asunder even in the midst of courtship and sometimes grow cool in the very honey month." Curioa4 Mathematical Fnct. There is a certain popular young lawyer In Atlanta who when in college was known as the best mathematician in his class. He is still much interest ed in knotty questions of figures, and he propounded a query on the street yesterday that none of a dozen men could answer. "Take any two consecutive nmm bers," he said, "say four and five; square them and subtract the lesser result from the greater, and the num ber you have is the same as the sum of the numbers you started with-in this case four and five, their sum being nine. "This will work out every time, no matter what two consecutive numbers you take. The rule is yell known, but I have never been able to find an ex planation of -it. Why is this always true, and can any one explain it to me?" His hearers figured long, but none was able to tell why the sum of the two consecutive numbers is equal to the difference of their squares.-Atlan ta Constitution. . Mankind's Progress. Institutions may crumble and gov ernments fall, but it is only that they may renew a better youth. The petals of the flower wither that the fruit may form. The desire of perfection, springing always from moral power, rules even the sword and escapes un harmed from the field of carnage, giv ing to battles all that they can have of luster and to warriors their only glory, surviving martyrdoms and safe amid the wreck of states. On the banks of the . stream of time not a monument has been raised to -a hero or a nation but tells the tale and renews the hope of Improvement. Each people that has disappeared, every institution that has passed away, has been a step in the ladder by which humanity ascends to ward the perf&tion of its nature. George Bancroft. Two Definitions of a Gentleman.. To be a gentleman "is to be honest, to be gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to be wise, and, possessed of all these qualities, to exercise them in-the most graceful manner," says the great novelist Thackeray. A diner in a certain hotel became so noisy that the proprietor directed his removal. The waiter who successfully accomplished this, on returning to the room, expressed his regret at having been obliged to put the individual out, for, said he; with emphasis, "he's a perfect gentleman." adding after a pause,:.as if to explain how he arrived at so decided a conclusion, "He give me 'alf a crowvn."-Notes and Queries. -Thie atnd -of the Modern Actor. The mind of the modern actor-we speak, of course, of the many, not of all-lies in his dancing legs, his sid~e splitting grimaces, his "business," his exaggerations of peculiar lives of to clay. The mind thus devoted to the lighter tasks of jocularity, skipping also from one author's jokes to those of another on a moment's notice, as its possessor skips from town to town and from stage to stage, is not a mind that can suddenly turn to the contemplation and the study of Shakespeare with any hope that the lines of the poet will get the better of thxe encounter. The actor who is to play Shakespeare acceptably must not frivol awvay his Intellectual dignity. One cannot sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with all the enthusi asm of his soul for 300 nights and hope to be equal to the Magnificat or a Te Deuma or Siegfrieds Rhine journey on the three hundred and first night. Te tasks to which the modern English and American manager puts the Eng lish and American actor have destroy ed the old school of Shakespeare ac tors. Now, we are not saying that this is not for the best; that in the processes of the evolution of the arts the theater has not naturally become what it is.-Ilarper's Weekly. How. Sleigh Bells Are MIade. "The making of sleigh bells is quite an art," says an iron founder. "The little iron ball is too big to be put in through the holes In the bell, and yet it is Inside. How did It get there? The little iron ball is called 'the jinglet.' When you shake the sleigh bell It~ jin gles. In making the bell the jinglet Is put inside a little ball of mud, just the shape of the inside of the bell. Then a mold is made, just the shape of the outside of the bell. This mud ball with the jinglet inside is placed in the mold of the outside, and the metal is poured In, which fills up the space between the ball and the mold. "When the mold is taken off, you see a sligh bell, but it will not ring, as It is full of dirt. The hot metal that the bell is made of dries the dirt so that it can be shaken out. After the dirt Is all shaken out of the holes in tlie bell the little iron jinglet will still be In the bell and will ring. It took a good many years to think out how to make a sleigh bell." The Minister's Family. At a conference of ministers of one of the smaller American denominations the question of the insufficiency of sonmc of the salaries was being argued. One brother who was stationed at a mission post made a strong plea for an increase in salar'y. "To properly pro vide my" family with the necessities," he said, "is a serious problem." "Io many children have you?" asked a sympathetic brother of the cloth. "I have four boys, and each one has a sister," was the prompt reply. Imme diately the sympathetic friend took the floor. "flow is it possible that our brother can provide even the barest necessiis for his eight children"- "I did not say I had eight children; the boys have the same sister." Connecticut is from quonne, long; tuk, tidal river; qut, nt-that is, quon .et+ckqnt at the long tidal river. Solomon's Horses. By a great many people Arabia is supposed to be the home of the horse. From ancient Roman, Grecian and Jewish history we readily learn that the horse was unknown in Arabia long after he was a common factor in the life of southern Europe. The horse was scarcely known to the Hebrews prior to the days of Solomon, that worthy and illustrious sovereign hav ing been brought into closer contact with the horse by his marriage to a daughter of Pharaoh, the reigning king of Egypt. whose gorgeous wedding out fit was supplemented by a large num ber of elegant horses, adapted alike to the service of war and the chase. The appearance of those beautiful animals as they sped swiftly along the streets of Jerusalem excited the envy of a few jealous princes, but added to Solomon's popularity with the masses. After his marriage with the Egyptian princess Solomon began buying horses from his father-in-law, and so rapidly did he multiply them by purchase and breeding that those kept for his own use required, as it is written, "4,000 stables and 40,000 stalls." His Unspoken Opinion. Richard M. Hunt. the artist, honest In his opinion and blunt in its expres sion, was appreciated by budding stu dents. What he said in criticism some times necessitated the destruction of a picture, but the advice eventually was profitable. A ladly called on Mr. Hunt one day, requesting him to select a frame suit able for a sketch which a dear nephew had painted. "A frame in harmony with the thought suggested by the pic ture," was desired. Artist IHunt betook himself to the woods. A few days after he called on a picture dealer, saying that he wished the sketch framed in the material he had collected. "Impossible!" exclaimed the picture dealer. -Can't frame the picture with this stuff. It's rotten wood." "You must," said Mr. Hunt grufy. "This frame is to be in harmony with the picture." The Blood as a River. The blood is a very river of human life, its pulmonary and systematic cir culations constituting an intricate net work of canals, making the body a sort of corporeal Amsterdam or human Ven ice, writes George Dana Boardman in "Ethics of the Body." Each corpuscle is a barge, moving with varying rates of speed in different parts of the body, toiling through the capillaries at the rate of two inches a minute, rushing through the arteries at the rate of fron twelve to twenty feet a second, cease lessly carrying on the organic functions of the body by perpetually exchanging freight, depositing at the depot of this and that tissue oxygen and taking uil dioxide of carbon. What money is t( society that blood is to the body. It L the means of exchange or the circulat ing medium. Deing Restored to Caste. A Fyzabad Hindoo was restored te his caste by the following process. o "purification." He lost caste eatina cooked food in a railway carriage, ii which persons of another caste were traveling. He had to pay his ows wight first in rice, the value reaching 180 rupees, and then in wheat Afte: being twice weighed in this -way he was made to sit on a square stone while his body was covered with ma nure, the face only excepted. He was then taken up by two men and throwt into the river, and after a bath was received by the Brahmans, fully re stored to caste fellowship. A Defense of the spanish Woman. More awful rubbish is written about the people, especially the women, of Latin countries than of almost any thing else. Take them all, the spar kling daughters of Andalusia, the no bly grave women of the Castiles, the enchanting Valencianas, the ruddy cheked women of the Asturias and of Galicia, the robust and wholesome Catalonians, the proud Aragonesas, and they make up a national grouping of women hardl to surpass for charmx and verve.--Mexican Herald. salary and Wages.

Charley-My friends tell me that I ave all the eccentricities of genius. Beatrice-What a pity it is, Charley, The Crown. There is no mention of crowns before the eighth century after Christ. The crown really did not become the head covering of kings until the times of the Christian rulers after the might and power of pagan Rome were broken. Before those days the crowning was done with a helmet. This change in the method of crowning the rulers is typ ical of the changes that occurred in the spirit that animated nations and races in the selection of their kings. The first kings and chiefs, after the world had emerged from the patri archal forms of government, were se lected almost altogether for their prominence as leaders in war. Thus, gradually, -the chief of the army be came the chief of the nation. Almost all the ancient kings were military despots. Then, with the prevalence of Christianity and the overthrow of the old governments, came the new rulers who claimed to rule by divine right. They, too, were almost all military despots, especially in the beginning, but the world had progressed far enough to demand more proof of au thority to rule than mere brute power. Travels of a Bullseye. A German scientist says that if a marksman at noon on a cloudless, windless day sets his rifle so that it will cover the bullseye of a target the gun will in the same position the next day, if it also happens. to be cloudless and windless, shoot "high left." "The bullseye is apparently attracted by the position of the sun or of any other lu minous point." says the scientist, "and apparently during the day follows the course of the sun in a semicircular line on the target." This seemingly changed. position of an object under the changing influence of light cannot, he thinks, be produced by refraction nor by the changing temperature of the air nor by chang ing barometric pressure. The change of position is instantly responsive to the sun breaking through a cloud. It cannot be akin to mirage, because the shooter would then have to lower his gun at noon instead of elevating it as he now does. One of the Only "Kels" Plays. An ancient baseball fan tells this story to illustrate the quickness and trickiness of Mike Kelly, the one time king of the green diamond: "A game between Boston and Wash ington was played at 3eantown. Char lie Bennett was catching, and Mike Kelly was sitting on the bench when a foul which Bennett could not possibly get goes up in the air toward the bench, and Kelly, being captain, yells to the umpire that he will put Bennett out of the game, and at the same time he puts on a mitt with lightning speed and catches the ball. He then tries to make the umpire allow the catch, but the umpire, after wrangling a long time with Kelly, decides the ball was in play and Bennett could not be re moved from the game until the ball had been caught by a player in the game, so he ordered the batsman to hit over. This -was quick thought of Kelly, even if It did not work." Glory Glory is but a transient dream: that gives color to a sleep bespangled with illusions of greatness; a mirage, glit tering, but unsubstantial, hovering above the oasis in the desert of life at whose fountain many a weary travel er would quench his burning thirst that he may press on to grander heights. It beckons us on to where the broad light plays on countless graves of those once called great, but now forgotten, upon whose gravestone is chiseled the mocking p~hrase, "Sic transit gloria mundi." How often does the victor, spent and worn, look around for the laurels and the peace he has earned, only to find the bubble bursted, the colors faded.-Roanoke Times. Tortillas. Tortillas, the Mexican substitute for wheat bread, are made from selected corn. The kernels are boiled .soft in limewater and after being-thoroughly washed are rubbed between the hands to remove the outer husk. They are then ground while wet to a soft mass with stones or a peanut -butter mill, patted into thin cakes, baked on a dry griddle and eaten while still hot. He Saw the Finish. Little Elmer while out .walking with his nurse saw a blacksmith shoeing a horse and upon returning home said, "Mamma, I saw the man who makes horses today." "Are you sure you did?" asked mam ma. "Of course I am," replied Elmer. "He had one nearly finished when 1 saw him. He was just nailing on its behind feet."-Chicago News. His Trial. "Ah, Sam, so you've been in trouble, "Yes, Jim."
