IN THQSE -QOOO,flLO TIMES* Fine to Read About, but Few of Ue Would Care to Go Back to Their Conditions. * * There Is uo question that breakfast is today a meal that has been developed out of the centuries, remarks J. U. S. In.the Christian Science Monitor. In the days of the Wars of the Ituses, breakfast was eaten when we of toJu.v are still asleep. Into the cold and stuffy hull, rush strewn, witn a Are feverishly burning on the great hearth, came the men, yuwning and pushing their tousled hair out of their eyaa. They would uot wear their swords, unless there was to be an Immediate foruy or battle or rouse of some kind or other, but all would have their knives and daggers, to eat with and to stab. If need be. There was no sunlight and the smoky mist of the fens came In ut the doors and through the high, loose windows. The dogs yawned, too, and scratched themselves, too, and made thenseives generally obnoxious as those noble animals will At the high table, on his dais, the lord's platter and cup awaited him; presently, he came. He was slightly cleaner than his rusty retainers; at all events he wore better clothes. As lord and *s leading a life that was virtually military ail the time, he u?ay bave had on his back and breast pieces and his culsses, or thigh pieces. He, too, wore his dagger, for the handy nsts above set forth. And whnt did they eat and drink? Well, the mere description is enough to pot one out of countenance for a full week with all forms of food and you C&n find out for yourself, There wns no morning table, the chill wns insufferable and the air was foul. Thsy had "n#anchets" of bread, but buttered toast was n beautiful dream of the far distant future. It wns fight and grab and wound and too often lie and blackly cheat with many of these stout lords and their faithful trains, and though we have not solved all the problems, I have a notion, reader, that we are better off than they were, even If we do not wear armor to breakfast. We may grumble as we like at this thing and that, but there Is more sunlight than there was then, or rather we see It more and we feel ^ It more and w? share It more, so thai y breakfasting in Boston or London at a seemly hour and having a proper modicum of decency and comfort, lei us go through the healthful exercise of thanksgiving and look with humble steadfastness forward always, backward never. Daring Equilibrists. Hie Frenchman who recently waved the trl-color from the top of the Strassburg cathedral In celebration of the transfer of the custody of that famous pile from German to French authority, wus not the first to perform this daring feat. The spire Is 466 feet from the ground, and Is surmounted by a "button" 18 Inches In diameter, which formerly was a pedestal for a statue of the Virgin, but now serves merely a* ii aupiHiri ror u ugntning rod. In the Eighteenth century, according to the ? chronicles of the cathedral, a Gerinar chimney sweep climbed up to the button and ftiere stood upright on it Moreover, at that time there was n? lightning r6d running up the side to aid In the ascent. In April, 1800, aguln, a French soldier, to win a bet, climbed the spire and actually stood on his head on the button. A strong wind was blowing and the man swayed this way and that with his legs In the air lu a truly alurming manner. His form, it Is ro lated, seen from the ground, looked no bigger than a speck, and his gyrations could he ur>tcd only with the aid of tleld glasses. Big Gar?e D'ive.

BY APPEAL TO VANITY How Wily Diplomat Saved Lord Boaconafleld From Bad "Break" Ho Had Contemplated. Curiosity, suys a London correspondent of the Christian Sclep^P Monitor, Is frequently expressed as to how the prime minister gets along tn his conferences with foreign ministers. It le understood that, though he can make out the purport of a printed passage In the French language, he never had the opportunity of acquiring facility In the spoken tongue. In this respect he flnde a precedent In the case of Lord Beaconsfield. When he went to tho Berlin- congress In 1878 he made known to his faithful secretary Ills Intention of addressing the conference in French. Monty Oory, having suffered scraps of his chiefs colloquial French, was aghast. In despair he ap piled to the British minister at Berllr for assistance. Odo Russell lived up to the occasion. In casual conversation with Lord Beaconsfleid he mentioned that he had heard a rumor that he Intended to address the plenipotentiaries on the following day i> French. "That would," the wily uitc later said, "be a gruve disappoint moot. They know that they have here In you the greatest living master of English oratory, and aiv looking for ward to your speech as the Intellectual treat of their lives." "Dizzy" Immediate* ly saw the reasonableness of this objection and all his speeches during the sittings of the congress were In English. COULDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT Peculiar Reason Why Elderly Spinete* Just Had te Attend the Funeral. Word has come to the mid-Victorian lady that an old friend of her mother's had died suddenly In her home In Maine. It was her duty te break the sad news to two elderly spinsters, cousins of the dear departed "auntie." She found Miss Susan at home, tend tng to her pet canary,v Miss Susan la 78, but spry and alert, ready for any emergency. Miss Emily, five year* elder, was out motoring with a kindly benefactress. The slow tears of old age trickled down Miss Susan's cheeks at the word that another of her generation had passed away. And then, with a quick transition, she began excited plans for attending the funonl, which Involved a trip by boat to Portland and a long and arduous ride In e day coach. But the thought ef all una, cvuyieu Willi miW?IV Q||t, did not daunt the little lady. She would go. "But, at least, Miss 8n#aa," tnnd the messenger, "you'll not take Bse Emily with you." "And, ciy dear," said the lady to tha woman, when she told her story oyer a cold lunch, "what do you oop poao Miss Susan said? Seriously, In her slow drawl, she replied: couldn't leave Emily behind.

Rumor That Ex-President Wllaof) Would Make Hie Home There Awakened World's Interest. Newspaper reports to the effect that ex-President Wtlson had bought the Island of Monte Cristo In tho Tuscan archipelago, as the home for his retirement, caused the Home Epoca to publish an Interesting account of this romantic island, six miles square, which the elder Dumas assigned as a title to the hero of his famous novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo." Ex-President Wilson, says the Itoine correspondent of the London Morning Post In summarizing the Epoca story, even had he so wished, could not have purchased the island, which is the property of the Italiun state, and has been for many years leased by the king Of Italy. In the quiet days before the war, Victor Emmanuel III and Queen Elena used to pass some of their happiest hours qt Monte Cristo, far froui the tmcs ui siuie ana no* near uio iraiidn peninsula?for Monte Crlsto Is by no means easily accessible. Before the king, that well known sportsman uud Alpinist, the Marchese Carlo Ulnori, was tenant of the island, which he acquired In 1880, and on which he spent during his tenancy large sums. Before his time Monte Crlsto became, In 1875, an agricultural colony, dependent upon tLe penal settlement of the neighboring Island of Planosa, the exile of Agrlppa Posturaus, the grandson of Augustus, who, as Tacitus narrutes, was there put to death on the acoessloh of Tiberius. Earlier still, between 1800 and 1875, Monte Crlsto was the abode of a strange visionary, Duvlde Lnzzurettl, who lived In a cave and funded" that, like St. Fronds of Assist, he had received the stigmata. Shortly after the middle of the last century an Englishman named Taylor leased the island, laid ont gardens and constructed ptiids, till he, too, disappeared from Its history. At that time, before the union of Italy, Monte Crlsto wus the property of the grand duchy of Tuscany, which. In 1850, had seat four soldiers and a corporal thither from Elba, whose successor was a certuln M. Abrlel, a Frenchman in business at Leghorn. In Abrlel's time the population rose to eleven, and the two buildings were erected which form the nucleus of the present royal shooting box. For centuries before 1850 the island was forgotten by all save Dumas und his readers, most of whom probably knew not where It was or whether It really existed. But there was a Camalduleelan monastery there In the Thirteenth century, qf which the ruins still remain, an evidence of the piracy then prevalent in the Mediterranean. Once, In 1241, Monte Crlsto's white conical rock appeared In world history, giving Its harae to the naval bottle fought In its waters between the fleet of the Emperor Frederick II and the Genoese ships carrying more than 100 cardinals and other high dignitaries of the church to take part in the council convened by Pope Gregory 5X in ltome.

At first thought there seems to be no relation between wooden shoes and automobiles. But one never can tall these days. Wooden shoes play an Important part In auto building; illdeed they probably reduee the cost of sutos by six and three-tenths cents each?If figured out by an efficiency expert. At first the auto companies provided high rubber boots for the men who did the work; but they sooq foupd, says the Scientific American Monthly, that soap and rubber did not agree, and that the bill for rubber boots w*e quite an Item. And when the wjfc came on, and the price of rubber soared, Indeed, It became quite appalling. So some bright young man got a lot of wooden sabots?brought from Holland or somewhere for actors?and tried them out. The workmen stuffed paper tightly In around their feet and encircled their legs with pieces of old slickers and found that the result was very satisfactory when worn with the usual apron.
