BUT IT IS ALWAYS EMPTY. The Tower Is the British Parliament's House of Detention, and Charles Bradlaugh Was Its Last Occupant. The Old Prison In Former Days. If the average senten :d criminal were allowed to select his place of confinement his choice would prob ably fall on the Clock Tower prison at Westminster, as that is the very finest prison in Great Britain and is able to supply comforts and luxuries quite unknown to the ordinary Bill Sikes. But the law decides that members of parliament only may be confined in that jail, although rank outsiders could be committed to the Clock Tow er for certain offenses against the rules and regulations of parliament. The Clock Tower prison, as it ex ists today, was erected in connection with the house occupied by the ser geant at arms. This official is in com plete charge of any member com mitted to the Clock Tower, and a member cannot easily make his es cape, because, in order to do so, he must pass through the house of the sergeant. Very few members of parliament are committed to the Clock Tower in these days. We have to go back many ears to find a precedent, Mr. Charles Bradlaugh being the last member to occupy the cells at the Clock Tower, and he did not occupy them long. He was handed over to the custody of the sergeant at arms on June 23. 1880, committed to the Tower and released next day. There are two sets of cells in the Clock Tower, an upper and a lower, but both suits of cells are much the same. In each there is a sitting room of very ample proportions, well car peted and furnished and replete with most- of- the things which go toward making one comfortable. In each suit there are two bedrooms -one for the use of the imprisoned 1. P., the other for the convenience of the jailer, who must always. be on the spot in order to see that the legislator makes no attempt to escape. Any member of parliament sent to the Clock Tower by order of the speaker would be required to pay for his own food, and if he did not do so he could be sued in court. Any legislator Incarcerated in the Clock Tower would be allowed to rise in the morning just when he pleased, and be could retire to bed when the spirit moved him. He could read to his hea'rt's content and smoke as much as he liked, there being no restrictions over such matters;4his whole punish ment would lie in being prevented from joining his fellows and mixing with them. He would be taken out to exercise, but would always have two officials, beside him to guard against any at-' tempt at escap~e, and his exercise would be taken on the terrace before the house sat for the day. Under no circumstances would be be al [owed to hold converse with his fel low men. One way or another an fin prisoned M. P. would not have a -bad time of It. andl he would not be kept in confinement for any lengthy period. But if the Clock Tower is not much sed nowadays, the Tower--the prison of the house of commons of a former day-was much in evidence- In olden times a passing remark, an observa tion obnoxious to the house, or, indeed, any trifle, was sufficient to send the culrit forthwith to the Tower, and not to the Tower only, for a memlur could be committed to Newgate. Sometimes the reason for committing a member to the Tower was somewhat amusing, as witness the case of a member for Southampton who once entered the house in a drunken condi tion and, mistaking the speaker for an owl sitting in an ivy bush, addressed him as such. Result-the Tower. However, the member was released next day and severely reprimanded for his ridiculous behavior. The Tower was made use of by the 'lng" parliament. In one day as mapy as eleven Presbyterian members of the house were committed to the custody of the sergeant at arms and flung into the Tower. And, to show that mem bers were not committed for errors In speech alone, one has only to mention the case of Captain Churchill, who in 1869 was committed to the Tower for refusing to take merchant ships under the protection of his m~an of war unless he received a gift of E200. In those days they had to pay stiffiy for the privilege e' being sent to the Tower, as witness an extract from the diary of Lord Clarendon, written the day following his committal to the tower. He says: "Mr. Dod brought me a note of the fees, which come to ?130 -viz, the governor, ?100; gentleman porter, ?20; gentleman gaoler, ?10." When a member offends in these days and requires to be "named"--al ways a necessity before committal-he Is not sent to the Clock Tower, but is suspended from duty and is not allow ed to enter the house for so long as the members decree.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Novel Method of Advertising. A storekeeper in a small out of the way town many years ago hit upon a novel methodl of advertising his store. He conceived the Idea of buying up the stock of stamps at the postoffice across the way. The postmaster ob jected to be denuded of all his stock, but his mysterious customer demanded the stamps over the counter, sheet aft er sheet, as an ordinary member of the public until he had bought every stanlp to be had. Then he took the stock over to his store across the road and plastered his windows with no tices that postage stamps were only to be had at his store, and to his mor tification the postmaster had to send customers across to the store over the way for any stamps they needed until some days after he once more got in a ANCIENT SURVEYORS. Their Methods Depicted on the Old Tombs of Egypt. In an address delivered before the Royal Geographical society Cail5tain H. G. Lyons. director general of the survey department of Egypt. told of the work of ancient Egyptian survey ors. "At every period of ancient Egyptian history," he said. "the land 'fas measured and recorded with con siderable accuracy. Property was dealt in regularly, and an elaborate system of registration was maintain ed. No map of landed property In ancient Egypt has come down to us, but on the tomb walls we meet with representations of land measurers at work. Their methods of land meas urement are represented on the walls of the tomb of one Menna at Sheik Abd el Qurna, in Thebes, a land over seer and inspector of the boundary stones of Amon. "In the scene depicted are shown two chainmen measuring a field of corn with a long cord, on which are knots or marks at intervals which seem to be about four or five cubits in length. Each also carries a spare cord coiled upon his arm. Beside them walk three officials, who carry writ ing materials and who are accompa nied by a small boy carrying writing materials and a bag in which are probably documents and plans refer ring to the property. An old man and two boys also accompany the survey ors, and a peasant brings a loaf of I bread and a bunch of green corn. "A similar scene is pictured on the walls of a tomb belonging to a cer tain Amenhote, also at Sheik Abd el Qurna. Here only one man accom panies the chainmen. each of whom, as usual, carries a spare cord. The figures are larger than in the tomb of Menna, and, though they are now much damaged, it is possible to see clearly that the cord terminated in a ram's head." A MAN OF ACTION. He Got Out of His Tight Corner With Flying Colors. He was d husband who, when he left home for a week or so on a business trip, invariably took with him a photo of his wife, and in the letters that he wrote to her he always made a great point of this portrait and dwelt upon the fact that the sight of it was the only thing that kept his spirits up when he was far away from her. One day, however, he left the home and forgot to take the portrait with him. But he was not going to let a little thing like that worry him. Down he sat and penned his cus tomary amorous epistle, in which the portrait played its usual part. It was not until the letter was posted that he remembered that the portrait had been left at home in a conspicuous place where his wife could not fail to dis cover it The fat was ihdeed in the fire, but he was a man of action and deter mined to get out of his tight corner somehow. He remembered the shop where the photo had been taken and promptly wired there for another copy, which he had put into a beautl ful frame especially adapted for trav eling. On his return home his wife "handed out the freezing mixture" to begin wit.. and then dissolved in unquench able tears. When under cross exam ination she admitted that the cause of her grief was his cruel deception, he produced the newly acquired photo and then asked her, in a hurt voice, how she could possibly have suspected him of working off mere 'tarradiddle on his little wife.-New York Mail. The Eternal Feminine. A photographer was called upon not long ago to make some pictures of an old lady of seventy years or so, but of surprising agility and quickness of per ception. The picture man was there fore somewhat surprised to find that no words of address could induce the old lady to speak until after the opera tion was completed. Then she put her fingers into her mouth, whence she withdrew several wads of paper. "You wouldn't have me photograph ed with my cheeks falling in, would you?" she asked the photographer. "I just stuft'ed some paper in my mouth to fill out."-Harper's Weekly. Suspicious. The person who, on examining a homemade henhouse, remarked that "it looked as if some fellow had built it himself" has a kindred spirit ;in a delightfully simple old lady, noted for her naive comments. In a street car not long ago she noticed a man car rying a shotgun and a blanket roll. "Look at him," she whispered to her companion. "He looks as if he were going to spend the night somewhere." -Youth's Companion. The Contrast. The elderly bride regarded in the mirror her wreath of orange blos soms, her gown of ivory satin arnd old valencennes and her long rope of per fet pearls. "There's only one trouble about fine clothes," she murmured. "They make one's face look so shabby."-New York Press. His Proof. Judge-You have not yet established the prisoner's insanity.

The Flower Is Aggressive In Spite of Its Boasted Modesty. The- common wild violet affords one of the most remarkable illustrations of the care .and apparent forethought of. nature in preserving a species. As er erybody knows, the violet grows in the shade, in pastures, woods and fields !t where the:, grass is abundant and long. It comes up early in the spring and flowers at a time when the grass is most abandant and succulent Of course it is liable to be cut down by the scythe, but much more likely is it t to be bitten off by grazing animals. The viclets that come in the spring either do not seed at all or very spar ingly, so that if the plant relied on its apring flowers for seed It would prob ably per:;h off the earth in a very few years. But in the late fall the plant bears t another crop of blossoms that are ner- I er seen save by the professional bota nist. They are very small, utterly in significant in appearance,. and grow either just at or below the surface of the ground. These are the flowers which produce the seeds for the next season. The flowers on long stems blooming in spring are only for show; the hidden flowers are for use, and the number of seeds they bear may be judged from the ease with which a wild violet bed spreads. When the seeds are ripe the pod ex plodes, scattering them to a consider able distance, often to ten or twelve feet from the parent plant, so that in spite of its boasted modesty the violet not only takes care of itself, but be comes a troublesome aggressor. - St. Louis Globe-Democrat. SWOONED AT THE BELL. Odd Effect of One Cure Through the Subliminal Consciousness. A very well known oculist tells of one case where healing through the subliminal consciousness was really a source of embarrassment to the physi cian who was responsible for it. Sev eral years ago when the eye specialist -he knows about ears and throats, too -was studying in Vienna a young girl was brought to the hospital to be treat ed for some nervous disorder. Hypno tism-or suggestion, as oue is asked to call it these days-was used, and. she was brought. under his influence by the ringing of a bell. After a few treatments she went to sleep, or into the unconscious and receptive state, as soon as she heard the bell. She was speedily cured and left the .hospitaL Next day she was brought unconscious, roused and sent away. The day after that she was brought in again. Indeed, for some time scarcely. a day passed when she wasn't carried in limp and unconscious. She became a positive nuisance to the great neurologist that had hypnotized her, and he finally sent persons to watch her. It was found that on her way to work she passed a certain church and usually was at the door at the moment during the cele bration of the mass when the bell rang. At its tinkle she calmly curled up and went to sleep. It was necessary to suggest to her the next time she was brought to the hospital that no bell in the world could have any effect on her except the one rung in the hospital by the neurologist After that she went about the city quite unaffected by the bells, and the neurologist drew a breath of relief.-Washington Herald.

HOW TO CAGE A BEAR. how Him Carrots and Bread and S Lead the Way to His Den. Escapes of animals from their cages . a zoological gardens and menageries i re fortunately rare. When they do ccur the work of recapture is set N bout in a businesslike fashion, and he prison breaker is generally cap ured before anything is known out ide. In the periodical issued by the man gement of the Breslaia garden an p .mnsing story is told of an incident of his kind. Some years ago, on a fine I .utumn morning, just after the gates vere opened there was a loud knock ng at the pay window, and, in reply to he inquiry of the money taker who a >resented himself, a man in a state of c Teat exciteinent said that as he was " ralkin. on the Oder bank he had seen P hrough the palisading a large bear oose in the grounds. "Greatly obliged it o you, sir," was the reply. "We know t hat already; that bear goes for a walk v very-morning and returns to its cage n )efore the visitors come in." The man went away quite satisfied. fO he official, who knew the real state of cl he case. at once ordered the gates to b )e closed, and the director was at once nformed that the bear was loose. It n vas a serious matter, for the bear had R :illed the keeper in a traveling menag- i rie and for that reason was sold to d he zoological garden. Moreover. when n . mate had been put in with him she 9 oon fell a victim to his bad temper. z hile the authorities were considering 0 be.best steps to take to recapture the >ear-for they were loath to shoot such fine animal-the keeper whose negli ence in leaving a door unfastened had. aused the trouble made his appear- P ce. His only reply to the reproaches S >f the director for allowing the bear to r scape was, "Well, we shall have to c et him in again." c He went off to the storeroom, filled a iis apron with carrots and bread and r hen sought the bear. When he saw a :he animal he called out to attract its S ttention and by throwing down food 9 mticed it to the back of the bear dens. e Iere the man entered through a small t: loor by which new arrivals were put s nto the cages. He was closely follow- t bd by the bear, but reached the middle 1 >f the cage before it had scrambled C :hrough the small opening. Then he iropped on the floor the rest of the ood he had in his apron and made his ay out of the cage, which was at ! mee securely fastened in front and at C he rear.

The "dreadful man" to whom she referred she had seen in i dream, which the niece of the friend who told me the story had heard her elte a day or two before the acci lent.
