Id various ways the circus of the pres ent day differs from that of the past, bnt the ring remains unchanged. It is ulway. 43 feet 9 inches in diameter. Go where you will, search the world from China to Peru, with diverging trips to the fiosty Caucasus and the desert of Sahara, and never a circus will you find without a ring 43 feet 9 inches in di ameter. There is a reason for this remarkable uniformity. Circus riders and circns horses are nomadic. Wherever their wanderings bring them they must find the ring always the same, else they will be disturbed in their performance, if not real ly rendered incapable. Trained to the 43 feet 9 inch ring, the horse and his rider have grown used—worn, one might say—to the exact angle of de clivity toward the center of the ring which the radini of 21 feet and a given speed produce. The mound on the circumference of the ring always has on the inside a lev el, so to speak, of earth, at the same angle as that into which radius and speed throw the driver. As for speed, that, after the horse has gone round two or three times and is warmed to his work, is the same through the act. In fact, a strap general'y holds his head so that he cannot get beyond a certain pace. The ringmaster snaps his whip, the clown shunts, the band plays loader and louder, but the horse knows just how mnch this empty show means nnd jogs on at the same old pace until, with the last jump thrungh a tissue balloon, the act is ended. —Exchange. Th. Roman Legtooary. The Roman legionary is a personage of remarkable interest. He ia indeed the first soldier whom we seem to recognize as such—a disciplined man of the high est training, with pride in himself, con fidence in bis leaders and considerable esprit de corps; in fact, a warrior whom the modern soldier can take to hia heart. There were legions and legions, of course, as in modern armies there are regiments and regiments. Some indeed, like the famous Tenth, enjoyed even a nickname, ‘‘The Larks" (Alanda). The men, if we are to believe Vegetius, suf fering from (be same weaknesses, could be raised by (he same means to the same excellence aa the veteraua of the penin sula war. Aa to the lighter moods of the Roman legionary, are they not im mortalized in the name of a Roman emperor? Tacitus tell us how Germanicus, al ways ji popular general, having had a son born to him in the camp, dressed the lad like a little soldier, complete evan to bis boots (oaliga), in the hope of pleasing hia men. The men of course made a pet of him and called him Cali gula, or Little Boots, and it is by bis camp nickname of Little Boots that Claudiua, son of Germanicns, lives in history to this day. It ia a curious ex ample of the persistence in the nature of figbtinT men. Cochrane’s rough Chil ean soi >rs dressed nphis 6-year-old son as a tiny midshipman and made a pet of him in the same way.—Macmillan’s Magazine. Bum la a Tomb Five Thoosaod Tom Old. Flinders Petrie, the archieologist, while excavating among some ancient Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roaes which bad been bound into a garland and buried with the dead thousands of yeara ago. M. Crepin, the botanist and microscopist, made a careful examina tion of this queer find and prepared a paper on it, which he read before the Royal society of Belgium. From this paper it appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they •till retained their color aa well as a very faint odor. The species to which they belong is now extinct, bnt a rose resembling them in several particulars Is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia. —fit Louis Republic.

A POLAR NIGHT. Orsphie Dcwrlption of This Time of Gloom and Denotation. •Mr. Constantin Nossiloff, reporting in Jje Tour do Monde his scientific re searches in Nova Zembla, furnishes an interesting description of his sensations and experiences daring the long arctic night, which began Nov. 3 and eudod Jan. 30. Sopteniber was pretty comfortable, he says. Then suddenly snow covered the mountains. The Samnyedee, his only companions, put on their winter cloth ing, the fishing boats set sail fix Arch angel, the gronnd froze, the snn lost its warmth and heavy auows fell. Winter had come in earnest. On the day when the sun showed it self for the last time all hands went oot of doors to bid it farewell It re mained in sight for half au hour only. For a few days longer there was a morning twilight. Then this faded and gave place to black night. The stara shone the whole 24 hours. The huts of the colony were bnried nnder the snow, of which thick whirlwinds filled the air. The wind shook the hots to their foundations. Sometimes for days to gether the inmates of the different hats could hold no communication with each other, though the buts were side by side. If anyone went ont, be was seized by the wind and had to be dragged back by means of ropes. In this darkness and desolation the aurora borealis did mnch to entertain and cheer them. It lasted sometimes for five days in succession, with splendors of color that Mr. Nossiloff tries in vain fo describe. To enjoy the spectacle he nsed to remain for hours in a hole in the snow, sheltered from the wind. "I have never seen anything more terrible than a tempest during the polar night.” says Mr. Nossiloff. “Man feelg himself overwhelmed in immensity.” When there came a lull in the storm, the n en ventured out to breathe the air and pnrge their lungs of the exhala tions of the smoking lamps fed with seal oil Twilight appeared again in the mid dle of January, and on the 20th the sun rose above the horizon, while the mem bers of the little colony stood in line facing it and tired a salute. No one had died or l«en seriously ill, but all bad the look jf corpses and were feeble as convalescents after a long sickness. Health returned with the appearance of the sun.—Youth's Companion. A Bird's Revenge. A lady who was one day watching a pair of redstarts as they worked in a tree was startled by a violent commo tion that arose in the shrubbery hard by. Catbirds screamed, wrens scolded and the robins shoaled “Quick!” with all their might. A chipmunk was drag ging a baby catbird by the log from iti nest and all the birds round about had come to help make a row about it, in- cludiug a Baltimore oriole. The scream ing and the swish of wings as the birds darted abunt made the squirrel abandon its prey and then the commotion sub sided as quickly as it had risen. All $be birds bnt the oriole went abont their business elsewhere. The oriole had not said a word so far, and be. ond the coun tenancing the hnbbub by his presence had had no part in it. The squirrel, having dropped the baby catbird, cocked itself np- u a limb and began to chatter in a defiant way, while the oriole sat not far away look ing at it, hot doing nothing else. But in a few moments the s< nirrel left its seat and ran ont on the limb it had been sit ting on until it bad to use care to keep its hold, and then the oriole's opportu nity for a telrible assault had come. Flashing across the space he struck the cbipmnnk in one eye with his sharp pointed beak, and then turning instant ly struck the other eye in a like manner. Quivering with pain, the sqninel let go the limb and dropped to'the ground, where it rolled and struggled about ap parently in the throes of death. The oriole flew away to bis favorite elm, where he sang in his most brilliant fash ion. The lady put the squirrel out of its misery and then saw that the oriole had destroyed both eyes.—Chicago Rec ord. Chameleon Spiders. An interesting instance of color mim icry in spiders has been observed in the south of France. The spiders of that re- giou when in search of prey hide in the convolvulus flowers. It has been noticed that a white variety of spiders frequent ed the white flowers, a greenish colored variety made the green flowers his home, and a pink one lived principally in the pink flowers. The color* of the three varieties were at first supposed to be permanent, bnt it has recently been dia covered that the color of any one of these spiders changes within a few days if the insect be placed in the convolvulua of a different colored flower from that ' which he has been using as his home. Four spiders—pink, white, green and yellow in color—were all put in a box together, and within three day* ell were white. _____ She Control* • New*l»*vr.

T- Ah* Enrountvred HI* Pollticml Rival WVitl* Addressing Miss Todd. In 1839 Miss Mary Todd of Kentucky arrived in Springfield to visit a married sister, Mrs. Edwards. At the instance of hia friend Speed, who was also a Kentuckian, Lincoln *becauie a visitor •t the Edwards’, and before long it waa apparent to the observant among those in Springfield that the lively young lady held him captive Engagements at that time and in that neighborhood were not announced as soon as they were made, aud it is not at all impossi ble that Miss Todd aud Mr. Lincoln were betrothed many mouths before any other than Mrs. Edwards aud Mr. Speed knew of it, writes John Gilmer Speed in The Ladies’ Home Journal. At this time, as was the oase till Lincoln was elected to the presidency, bis one special rival in Illinois was Stephen A. Douglas. Mr. Douglas had more of the social graces than Mr. Lin coln, and it appeared to him that noth ing wonld be more interesting than to cut out bis political, rival in the affec tions of the entertaining and lively Miss Todd, and so be paid her coart. A spirited young lady from Keutncky at that time in Illinois wonld have been almost less than hnman if she had refused to accept the attentions of the two 1 lading men of the locality. There fore Miss Todd, being quite human, en couraged Douglas, aud again there was what nowadays wonld have been c&lltd a flirtation. This coarse of action did not spur Lincoln on in ills devotion, bnt made him less ardent, aud he concluded, after much self worriraeut, to break off the engagement, which he did, but at the same interview there were a recou ciliation and a renewal of the engage ment. THE REGENT DIAMOND. The One Preeioun Stone That Cornea Near est to Being Flawless. The Regent diamond, while surpassed in size by the Great Mogul and several other well known stones, is really the finest of all, being nearly fanltless in form and pm ity aud the most brilliant diamond in the world today. Its French history dates back to 1717. In that year it was pnrohased from its English owner, for the French regalia, by the Duke of Oi leans, then regi of France, whence its present name It had previously been known by a name almost as famous. In 1717 French finances were in a desperate strait The people were starv ing, the treasury was nearly exhansted, credit even was lost, yet nuder the per suasions of the Scotch financier Law and the French Duke of St. Simon the re gent of France, hesitating where every monarch of Enrope had refused, finally agreed to the price of $C75,000. Greatly to the relief of the dnke, bis act appealed to the pride of the French people, and instead of condemnation fur his extravagance he received their ap plause. In the light of subsequent events their approval has a toneb of the pro phetic. The first prominent appearance of the diamond in the French regalia was in the circlet of the crown made for the coronation of the boy Louis XV, in 1722. After half a century it was again the center of a new crown, that which in 1775 weighed heavy on the head of the yonng Louis XVI till he cried out in discomfort, “It hurts me!” Then come 1789 and the fire and blood and fnry of the French revolution. —Charles Stuart Pratt iu Lippiuoott’a SACRED RUNNING OXEN. They Are the Greatent Carionltle* Among Ceylon's Domesticated Animals.

Row a Travoler M »y Got a Both I* That Country. A yonng French explorer, M. Gaston Donuet, contributes to Le Revue Bleue some vivid descriptions of the French colony of Senegal. The following hap pened at St Louis, the capital, a dull, unprogreesive French colonial town, eaten up with red tape aud officialism. M. Donuet tells us that he and a fellow | traveler wanted to take a bath. There it where near 10 years of age, is only 23 inches high and weights but 10914 pounds. In Ceylon they are used for making quick trips across the country with express matter aud other light loads, and it is said that four of them can pnll a driver of a two wheeled cart and a 200 pound load of miscellaneous matter 60 to 70 miles a day. They keep up a constant swinging tiot or ran and have been known to travel 100 miles in a day and night withont eitiier feed or water. No one knows anything concern ing the origin of this peculiar breed of miniature cattle. They have been known on the island of Ceylon and in other Buddhistic countries for more than a thousand years. One story told to ao- cotat i-ir ti-cir origin is to the effect that '■ cngiually cattle of the ordinary height aud bulk; that a Bud dhistic priest was once imprisoned in a gal. Rumor had it that it was passible to hire baths ut the hospital We asked, he says, one of the servants there fur a bath. "Certainly. Take seats.

There can be no doubt that the tramp ia iu a certain sense the maker and chooser of his own career. The writer’s experience with these vagrants has con vinced him that, though they are almost always the victims of liquor aud lazi ness, fully four-fifths of America’s vol untary beggars have begun their wide and restless ways while still in their teens, and have been furthered in their wrong tendencies by unwise treatment applied to them when young. Year after year, even month after month, trampdom is increased by iqnads of youths Who will soon take and hold the places of their elders, who will nat urally drop away with the years. These boyish roadsters are mine often illegiti mate than lawful children and conse quently proper subjects for state care and guardianship. And the fact that every tramp in the United States has spent some part of his youth in a re form school, or, worst of all, in jails, demonstrates that there is a failure somewhere in omr system of correction and reformation and makes it necessary and only fair that the sociologist as W'-U as the reformer shonld know the tramp from boyhood to manhood. Su perficial and unsympathetic studies of bis character, with shallow theories abont remedial measures, have so far failed signally in checking his malign influence upon society.—"How Men Be come Tramps,” by Josiah Flynt, in Century. ■ II'MpltaM*.

In the columns of The Krenzzeitung Herr Andrae, a well known Conservative politician aud friend of Prince Bis marck, gives some interesting recollec- tious of the period of the war of 1870. He says: "Bismarck read on the 9th of July the speech delivered by the Duke of Grammout on the 6th. He waa at dinner and handed the newspaper to his wife, with the words: ‘The Duke of Grumniont must have soon got tired of his office. I shall, of course, have to ask for his resignation.' Later iu the even ing, while walking in the park at Varz’n nnd thinking of the matter, the idea . uuiknly came to him, ‘Napoleon warns war. aud uiummout sspeech was dictated by him. ’ "He went to his room,his first thought being to telegraph to tbe king, at Ems, a follows, ‘it would be best to mobilize at ouce, declare war end attack before France is prepared.' His nerves were strung to the highest tension, and he passed a sleepless night Lying awake, think.ug, there crossed hia mind tbe text, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. ’ | ‘So that won’t do,’ he said to himself. | Ti.ea all the political consequences of his contemplated action became clear to him, aud ho ended by casting the first message asioo and telegraphing to King Wilimm simply not to pledge himself to anything with Ueuedetti, who, if he be came prest’ug, was tube told, ‘My min ister of „n affairs ia at Varzin. ’ ” —L id n N; vs. A MILLIONAIRE’S AMUSEMENT.

A millionaire mast be allowed to have some amusements, aud if he is disposed to amuse himself iu ways that would not be at all amnsing to the big pnblio made of men who are not millionaire* be must certainly be accorded tbe privi lege. One of Chicago's greatest stockmen and packers was once a dealer in junk, and it is said that he once went about gatheiing old iron himself. Now he is reputed to be worth 925.000,000, aud rumor says that he has his property in such shape that he could, if he chose, raise a larger sum in cash than any other man in Chicago Each morning the millionaire's man oomes into hia office with a bundle of clean pine sticks, which he places in a corner not far from the millionaire's desk. When the millionaire has read his morning mail, and business men come in to see him, he takes one of the sticks, and with a big, old fashioned jackknife whittles it into bits, the shavings fall ing on the floor. Sometime* he walks up and down—he walks much—and whittles. By the time business is done tot the day bis office looks like a car penter shop and tbe bundle of pine sticks lias vanished. The harder the business problems he has to meet the I.order he whittles. And that is the way he amuses himself.—Chicago Record. A Triumph at Elementary Education. The following little incident happened in.a London suburb: A bootmaker’s ap prentice, a lad of abont 14, delivered a pair of boots at a tradesman’s boose. The tradesman’s wife, accustomed to orderly business ways, asked tbe lad, after handing him the money for tbe boots, to receipt fhe bill. At this re quest the lad showed the greatest con fusion, so that the woman, to reassure him, said, “Just receipt it, as a matter of business.” Whereupon he wrote laboriously something on the paper. In tbe evening, when the tradesman exam ined the papers on the epike, he came upon a bootmaker’s bill, at tbe foot of which was written in large letters in a schoolboy hand, “As a matter of busi ness.” It was the yontbful apprentice's literal interpretation of the demand for a receipt as a matter of busiuees.—West minster Review.
