He must solve many a praent problem in hoisting great bodies aloft. lie must know bow to fasten a hook over the summit of a skyscraping chimney. Ie must have the nerve to paint a steeple that sways like a pendulum at the slender top. He musc be able to tear down, build up. gild, paint, place electric wires and do many another task that would be idicult enough on the solid earth. There are many ways of getting up on a steeple. and when all others fail the man will tie . rope around It and then, with a coil on his back. walk round and round it until the entire steeple is covered with rope, and in such case he has probably been round It fully 300 times. But i steeple is not the most dial cult beIght to climb. Straight, tall chimneys are the hardest of all. There a man has to work with might and main to lift himself inch by inch from the ground to the top. Sometimes the top is 300 feet high. When it Is reach ed a hook Is placed over the edge, a pulley Is made fast, the swinging chair is hauled up and work begins. When the chair is near the top it is easier to work, because the ropes are short, but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there Is a ten dency to swing.,and the wind gives impetus. The steeple jack's safety depends upon the hook, and until he has raised himself almost to the top it is impos sible for him to see whether or not the hook has been properly adjusted More than once a steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the Iron and the col lection of soot have so thickened the wall that the book Is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull in the wrong direction would drag It off. Again, the bricks are often loose at the top, and the book Is likely to tear them away. One of the natural difficulties to con quer Is the swaying of all high stee ples and chimneys. In a gale a steeple point will sway a foot. and a half. Usually It sways from seven to nine inches. Painting It means reaching for a spot on the right side, and find Ing it on the left, and. when making a dive for it on the left, to see it sway back to the right Yet In spite of the constant danger a born steeple jack ex ults in his work and Is at home, like the ironworker on the skyscraper, only when high above the world. HEe can I stand triumphantly at any height. if he can have two and one-half square Inches to bear his weight.-Harpets Weekly. EC2PU. CAESAR, A Story of the Great Roman and a Band of Pirates. Caesar traveled with the retinue of a man of rank. and on his way to Rhodes he fel In with an adventure which may be something more than legend. When he was crossing the Aegean. his vessel Is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to Pharma cusa, an Island off the Ca ria costwhich was then in their posesson, and there he was detained for air weeks with three of his attend ants, while the rest of his servants were sent to the nearest Roman sta tion to raise his ransom The pirates treated him with polite ness. H~e joined In their sports, played games with them, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as well as he could, frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged The ransom, a very large one. about 10000, was brought and paid, Caesar was set upon the mainland, near MIi letus. where, without a moment's delay, he collected some armed vessels, returned to the island, seized the whole crew while they were dividing theIr plunder and took them away to Pergamus, the seat of government in the Asiatic province, where they were convicted and crucified. Clemency was not a Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar interceded to mitigate the severity of the pnishmet The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on the crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Freude IMaking It Plain.

Marrying for votes was a device of old time British election agents. As the law stood before the reform act of IS32 widows of freemen on marry Ing again made their second husbands freemen and therefore voters. At election times widows were conse quently paid handsomely to go through a formal marriage with a voteless bachelor., who, for a consideration. similarly agreed to support the candi date. The pair were married. the man voted according to instructions, and then be and his wife, standing ona either ::ide of a tombstone. said.' "Death us do part."

A temperance missionary In Glasgow left a few tracts with a young woman one morning. Calling at the same house a few days after, he was rather disconcerted to Sud the tracts doing duty as cur! papers on the head of the! damsel to whom he bad g~ven them. "Weel, my lassIe." he remarked. "I see ye hare used the tracts I left wi' ye, but" he added In time to turn con fusion Into merriment. "ye ha' putten them outside Instead or inside your head." The French Horn. The French horn, or cor de chasse, is regarded by some musicians as the sweetest and mellowest or all the wind instruments. In Beethoven's time It was little else than the old hunting horn, which for the convenience of the mounted hunter was arranged In spiral convolutions to be slipped over the! head and carried resting on one shool der and under the opposite arm. The Germans still call It the weldhorn that Is. "forest horn." No Occasion For Alarm. Said a nervous lady to another lady, at whose house she was making a call.
