A man who wanted to lecture called .t a breau presided over by two man agers. He aroused their Interest with a lec turer's art, says the Lyceumite, but unfortunately the senior member was just starting on a trip and would not return for at least a month. The senior partner called the young man to one side and exacted a solemn promise that he would not visit an other bureau or read his lecture to anybody until after he had given this particular-manager a reading and a chance -to make him an offer a month hence. The interest of the junior member, however, was at white heat, and he kept sending for the young lecturer, in sisting that he come down to the office and read his lecture. The young man refused with as much tact as- possible, but this only increased the anxiety of the junior. At last the young man told of the promise made the senior partner. In stead of quieting the junior manager, the announcement made him the more anxious, and finally the young man consented. The reading ended, the junior part ner said: "Now, your reading this has saved us all much valuable time. I'll tell you frankly, my boy, it won't do. There's no message in it; it is loosely construct ed; the diction Is poor. It won't do. Burn It and try again." When the senior partner returned he called up the young lecturer and sound ly berated him for breaking faith. "How do I know you have not been to every bureau in town? You promis ed me on your honor you would read the lecture to nobody-not even to my partner." The young man -protested that he had not done so. "Why," exclaimed the - senior man ager, "of course you have! He tells me that you came down here to the office two weeks ago and read-him the entire lecture and that he -told you it was no good." "Yes," replied the young man; "after much persuasion I did read him a lec ture which he told me was no good, but it was not my lecture-It was Wen dell Phillips' 'Lost Arts!'

The Rain In the Wood. The lamentable effects of the gener al destruction of forests are now suf ficlently recognized in all civilized countries. Such destruction Invites devastating floods In mountain streams and causes the surrounding land to dry up. Forests act like vast~ con densing screen. They preserve a moist atmosphere about them, atten uate the force of torrential downfalla, promote a more gradual melting of the snow In early spring and protect the sol against too rapid evaporation. And yet the manner In which forests act their beneficent part Is not exactly such as might be supposed. They pre vent a large part of the rain that falls from reaching the soil at all. It is es timated that In European climates the forests evaporate directly or transpire physiologically four-fifths of the rain that falls upon them. Thus the forest atmosphere is no less Important than the forest soil In equalizing the ci matic conditions of a country.-Youth's Companion. Tale of a Coat. The clawhammer, or evening coat, has many oddities of cut These oddi ties were.once essentials. There was, in fact, a time when every idiosyn crasy of the clawhammer served some useful purpose. The cutawP.y front of the coat, for instance, was origInally cut away so that the wearer when on horseback wouild not be incommoded. The two buttons at the back were for fastening up the tails out of harm's way, each tail having In the -past a buttonhole at its end. The sleeves, with their false cuffs, are relics of the days when sleevees were always turned back and therefore were always made with cuffs that unbuttoned. The coli Jar, with its wide notches, Is a sur yval of the old collar that was notch ed In order that Its wearer could turn It up conveniently In cold or stormy weather. The dress coat, In a word, is a patchwork of relics--relics once es sental, but now of no use on earth. Philadelphia Bulletin. Webster's Fine Talk to a Fish. I had a chat once with old John At taquin, then a patriarch among the few survivors of the Mashpee Indians. He had often been -Mr. Webster's guide and companion on his fishing trips and remembered clearly many of their happenings. It was -with a glow of love and admiration amounting to worship that he related how this great isherman, after landing a -large trout on the bank of the stream, "talked mighty strong and fine to that.fish and told him what a mistake he-bad made and what a fool he was to take that ly and that he would have been all right If he had left It alone." Who can doubt that patient search would disclose somewhere In Mr. Web ster's speeches and writings the elabo ration, with high Intent, of that "mighty strong and fine" talk address ed to the fish at Mashpee?-~"Fishing and Shooting Sketches," by - Grover Cleveland. A Literary Tragedy. When Carlyle had finished the first volume of his great work on the French revolution he lent the manuscript to his friend John Stuart Mill. One even ing soon afterward Mill entered Car lyle's door, pale as Hectog ghost, 'with the dismal information, gased out In almost inarticulate words, that .-tIh the exception of about four or - fve sheets the manuscript was completely annihilated. Mill had left it too care lessly lying about, and a servant, think ing It so much waste paper, had burned It. Five months of steadfast, occasion ally excessive and painful toil utterly lost! For three weeks Carlyle could do nothing but read Marryat's novels. Then one night, sitting talkng to his cook, he decided It should be 'written: again and eventually finihed "such a task as I never tried before or since." A Valuable ILesson. "Six years age I learned a valuable esson," writes John Pleasant, of Mag olia, Ind. "I then began taking Dr. King's New Life Pills, and the looger I take them the better I find them."

The first duels were fought in Italy, according to Millingen, who speaks of a manuscript discovered at Cassel and describes a duel between a father and a son in the reign of the Emperor The odorie. When Charlemagne forbade wager of battle among the Lombards he encountered the fiercest opposition from the nobles. Early in the ninth century De Medicis, a-knight, defeated in single combat the - bandit Mugel, who devastated the Florentine district now called after him, Mugello. Othe II. granted the prayer of the nobility for the re-establishment of wager of battle in 988. Woinen and priests were not compelled to accept it. The Normans showed less -gallantry. With them a woman had to accept, nor could she name a champion. Her male op ponent, however, was buried to. his waist In the -earth. Armed with a club,- he tried to strike-her as she-cir led around him, his weapon being a ball-of Iroizat the end of a cord. If he ftled- to touch her at the third at tempt - he was vanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor. Beccarin says that the reason so many duels were fought In Italy In the early days is that where the law does not afford protection one must look to single combat to retain the re speet of one's fellow men. In the mid die ages the ferocity of Italian duels passes belief. "Any way of putting an enemy to death ('ogni modo') is good enough," says one of their writers. "When an Italian spares his vanquish ed adversary," says Brantome, "he 1 mnims his arms and legs and gives him as % -memento of his kindness and generosity a hideous gash across the face." Lampagnano practiced on a painted model of Galeazzo Sforza be fore he stabbed him. Dueling was called "a- scienza cavalleresca."-Corn bill Magazine. Neighbors Got Fooled. "I was literally coughing myself to death, and had become too, weak to leave my bed; and neighbors predicted that I would never leave it alive, but they got-fooled, for thanks be to God, I was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery. It took just four one dollar bottles to completely cure the cough ad restore me to good sound health," writes Mrs. Eva Uncapher, of Grover town, Stark Co., Ind.

Take your ease, for in stance. You are practically unmolest ed, aren't you? A -few months is the most you ever get for begging. And do you know what would have been done to you in the fifteenth century? The first time they caught you begging they'd have whipped you at -the- cart's ta. The second time they'd have slit your right ear and bored a hole in your left ear with a hot Iron. Catchin you a third time, they'd have put you to death as a felon."

According to Strutt, "trundling the hoop Is a pastime of uncertain or igin, but much in fashion at present" (1801). Dr. Murray's dictionary, inci dentaly remarking that the original hoop affected by boys was a barrel hoop, gives no English reference to It earlier than 1792. -But the hoop was wel known to ancient Greek and Boe man boys, who called It a "trochus" (wheel). Their hoops were made of bronze, and- representations of them on ens show that they were driven by a little book -with a wooden handle, very like the modern boy's hoop stick. This was called by -the Greeks "elater" (driver) and by the Boznmn "clavis" (key). Sometimes the ancient hoop had bels attached to it, and modern Lou don may be glad to be spared at least that exasperation.-London Chronicle. Unfortunate Omission. One of the most singular instances of puishment for an oversight was that -shown by the commitment of an alma na -maker to the Bastille in 1717. It was made out by order of the Duke of Orleans, regent during the minority of Louis V. of France, and read as fol lows: "Laurence d'Henry, for disre spect to King George I. In not mention-. Tg him in his almanac as king of Great Britain." How long this un lucky almanac maker remained in pris on Is -unknown. The register of the Bastille, -examind at the time of the revolution, failed-to throw any light on ANCIENT EMBALMING, Not Only People but Anima Were MNummaed In Egzypt. Myrrh, which was fabulously sup. posed to be the tears of Myrrha, who was turned into a shrub, was i, plant of handsome appearance, wih spread. Ing, fernlike foliage and large umbels of white flowers. It was found princi pally in Arabia and Abyssinia. In early times the perfume distilled from It was greatly in requisition for em balming. * Herodotus gives a detailed account *f the ancient mode of embalming which is perhaps more Instructive than pleasing. After the body -had under gone much preparation, which, to spare your feelings, will not be described, it was filled with powdered myrrh, cas and other perfumes. It was then steep ed in natron, a strong solution of soda, for seventy days. After this it was wrapped in bands of fine perfumed linen, smeared with aromatic gums. Not only people .were thus embalm ed, but the crocodiles of Lake Moeris, which, after their mummification, were decorated with ornaments =nd jewels ad laid in one -of the subterraneanu. passages of the great labyrinth with - much pomp and display. The sacred cat, ichneumon and other cherished an mals devoutly worshiped by the Egyp :ians were embalmed with scrupulous and fanatical care. On days special to the memory of the dead the mummies were newly sprinkled with perfume, ' ncense was offered before them and their heads anointed with fresh oil-in the same spirit as we lay new blooms pon the graves of our dead. WHISTLER AS A TEACHER. G Genius Who Showed DiSculty I Imparting His Knowledge. Whistler was certainly a genius, but he showed sdme difficulty in imparting hls knowledge. His criticisms were of ten foggy and uncertain, and he hard y ever found words in which to ex press himself. It was almost an Im possibility to develop without becom ng a slave and copying him in every way. With a- majority of the students his was a dangerous method. If one =me with a spark of originality It was mctnguished immediately by the doma-' nating personality of the master: He mould see art only from his pwn stand point, and he insisted on all of us using the same palette and the same'brushes as himself and on our seeing all ob jects with his eyes. The result to an >rdinary outsider was ridiculously mo itonous I well remember a- Frenchman who wanted to join the class -coming to riew some of the studies and then. re narking, with an amused smile, "Vous tvez beaucoup des petus Wheestafrs" Lhis *as perfectly true of the major [ty, but there were a few matured men who hardly carried out Whistler's formulas- as regards the palette and method, but wio, owing to their more ndependent attitude; profited mhuch.b the -crticisms.-Century. -VotingdIn -Paris. "In Paris only one-Ufth of the votem go to the polls and cast their balblts," - ad an Amejican who has lived in Pars as a business man for several ears past "This is not because .they annot vote, but because they do not eare to. Everybody in the city is in terested In politics, but when the time o vote comes few care to go to-the polls. The man who wins is most often the man who promises every: thing. For istance, In .my district, last time a man was elected who promised to put a new shed on the market. I know of another deputy who was kept in <diice fifteen yearsbe cause he promised to add an extra sar dine to the .daily rations of the .so! ids.

And thus in the' citadel of time stands man himelf. n childhood, shaped of soft and deli cate wood, just fallen from heaven; n manhood 'a statue of bronze, comn- -. memorating struggle and victory, and, lastly, in the maturity of age, perfectly shaped in gold and Ivory-a miracle of -Temper.

Housekeeping In Japan I never could regard houseclening seriously in Japan, where the walls can be put aside by one hand,2where there Is no particular furnitre'to-wor- ' ry one anid where even the matting can' be laid and lifted without tacks- or nails. But the Japanese housekeepers of my acquaintance rather resented my light attitude, assuring me, quite after the manner of housekeepers all over the world, that It is all very hard and' requires much work--oh, very much work Indeed. In order to justify my self to one housekeeper I drew .a comn parison of her own difficulties and those of an American woman, but the Amerian picture seemed to her so ter rble and she became so deeply sym pathetic that I had to stop short to save her felns-oueepr Fit and Fought.
