What is a modern king for if not to set a pattern of the brave, courteous, urbane gentleman and make a comely figurehead for state occasions? If he fails there of what earthly use is he? He cannot govern. He dare not at tempt t "ule. He is so outclassed ii; profe: anal training by his own gen . anat he would never be tolerated at an active commander in chief in time of war. He is hopelessly below the requirements of the age if he dreams of leadership in nrt or learn ing. literature or science. If he cannot make a brave showing of the virtues and graces of more primitive times when he gets a chance he fails utterly. The truth is thbt modern royalty is handicapped hopelessly by the progress of mankind. The age is far too com plex to enable a king to play the part he is cast for in the great drama of the world's work and struggles. He would be more than human if he could live up to the demands of his birth and the traditions of his vocat-ion. Kings were formerly tragedies when they were evil and great benefactors when they were both good and wise. Now they are perilously near the bor Sder line of comedy, which slides easily down into farce.-Cleveland Leader. Sneezing. Sneezing has an extensive folklore in many countries. Sometimes the act is considered ominous of good and sometimes of evil. Among the Jews it has always been regarded at an ap p ropriate moment, such as the conclu sion of a bargain, as propitious, and a belief still lingers in many parts of the country that the regular habit of Ssneezing, particularly after meals, Is conducive to longevity and a p':ecau tion against fevers. The old English custom of saying "God bless you!" when a person sneezed, so as to avoid evil consequences, has its counterpart in many far distant parts of the globe. The early settlers in Brazil found the sneezer saltited with "God preserve you!" while in Fiji it was customary to retort, "Mfay you live:" In super stitious Sufr'olk there is a sneezing tar .1ff-once a wish, twice a kiss, thrice a letter and four times a disappoint ment.-Londo~n Sphere. -The Water Clock. The earliest application of the clep sydra princ.ple to produce motion was by Tsiang Hung, A. D. 120. who made an "orrery" representing the apparent motion of the heavenly bodies around the earth, which was kept going by dropping water. In the sixth century of the Christian era an instrun-ent was in use in China which indicated the course of time by the weight of water as it gradually came from the beak of a bird and was received in a vessel on a balance, every pound representing a one-hundredth part of the day of twenty-four hours. About this time mercury began to be employed in clepsydras instead of wat .Victim of Circumstances.

What Her Sister Heard When She Listened to thc Docters. IOne of two sisters Who lived to.:eth er was suddenly taken withIi n li-ng :,t tack she fea red was seious. 5.ys tlit London Tele~graph. She theroe.re sent for a specialist :nd asked ;er (idoctor to incet him. Talkinga over his eom'ing with her sister. she said: "31;'.iI wish I could know Sir Ienry B.T' real opi.nion. Neither he nor Dr. M. wi l tell us if there is anything really wrong, but I would mnuch rather Her sister replied: "Do not worry,. Jearest. You shall know everything, for I will go down to the dining room and stand behind the big oak screen i and listen to every word they say." "And will you be sure to tell me, Mcna?" "You may rely on me, dearest. I will tel. you every word." "Even if I am not to get well?" "Even then, dearest," promised the loyal Mona. The hour for the consultation arriv ed, and the sister went to the dining room and, standing behind the great oak screen, ensconced herself and pre pared to listen. By and by the two doctors were heard descending the stairs. and a nie meut later they camie into the room. W:.king over to the fireplace, the spe cia'ist sank into an easy chair and the local doctor sank into another. Then followed a moment's silence, broken by the specialist. who leaned a little for ward. "My dear M.," he said slowly as he ( looked across at his colleague. "of all the ugly women that's the very ugliest womai i've ever seen in my lfe." "Is she?" replied the local doctor. i "You wait until you've seen her ;is ter." MAMMOTH MINERS. The Experts Who Prospect and Dig For Prehistoric Creatures. Mammoth miners are experts if-ho C know where to prospect for maim moths and how to dig them out, even C as the mining engineer knows where to prospect for silver and how to ex- 1 tract it. In the west. in Alaska and in Sibe ria mammoth miners are always at work. They are always unearthing creatures that died 100,000 years ago. Siberia was the mammoth's true home. Siberia 100,000 year.s ago was one luxuriant forest. Here the fur covered beasts, with their ten foot trunks and their fifteen foot stature, P swarmed. Then an earthquake re moved a barrier range between Si beria and the Arctic' ocean, and those low lying forests were inundated. All their animal and vegetable life was killed. The first of the drowned Siberian f mammoths was found in 17W0 by an Eskimo villager on the banks of the Lena. It was imbedded in a vast cake of ice. The villagers melted the ice, they feasted on the 100,000-year-old flesh,and then they sold the tusks. Only the bones remained when Zlo tover of the Petersburg Imperial mu scum reached that outlandish village after a journey of 7,5i00 miles. He took the bones back to the museum, where you may see them mounted to day. He bought the tusks from the ivory traders and fixed them on the j skeleton, and the book he wrote about his find is still a text book among the mammoth miners of our day. Safeguarding Crime. It is Inexplicable how those pessi- ~ mistic carpers who are accustomed to hit all the miner chords with the loud pedal on can fail to see all about them the unmistakable signs of progress and the reddening dawn of a ne,. day, in the social yeast. And especially is this true in matters pertaining to crime. ~ There is no doubt that the general standards of crime have been immeas urably raised of late. Nowadays a man can do almost anything and get away 'with it, provided he can arouse - the sympathy of the special lady writ ers and pay the experts. Ah, brothers. A who can siy that all this does not \ make for th,e generai uplift? How can we hope to realize the better - things of life until 2rime has been . made perfectly safe?-Life. Sea Air. At a meeting of the French Thera pent ical society M. Laumonier showed that the therapeutic effect of sea air on the coast is quite different from that of the open sea-i. e., twenty or 'i thirty miles out. On the coast the ef fect tends toward excitement and con gestion and, moreover, Is Irregular in its action. Out at sea it is tonic and I' regulating, and in addition the patient gets quiet, a regular life and a contin uous bath of pure air. These advan tages are not so patent on board great liners on account of the vibration and the smell from the engines. but on a sailing ship~ they are evident. Chinese Idea of Government. Here is a Chinese idea of prosperity in a nation: When the sword is rusty, the plow bright, the prisons empty, tile granaries full, the steps of the temple worrn down and those of the law courts grass grown, when doctors go afoot, the bakers on horseback and the men of letters drive in their own carriages, then the empire is well governed. - Getting Ready For Him.

"Surround yourself by women. They are certain protection against calumny. Women who have many women friends are never so awfully much talked about. It's policy." "Is that what you have done?" asked r the girl quietly. "No," answered the woman. "You r know It isn't. I'd rather be dead thlan I to have to associate with women."
