THE CIRCUS RING.
It la Always Exactly Forty-two Past Mins
Inches In Diameter.
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

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

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

Is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia.

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. _____

LINCOLN’S LOVEMAKING.
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.

SACRED RUNNING OXEN.
They Are the Greatent Carionltle* Among

One of the greatest curiosities among
the domesticated animals of Ceylon ia

as the “sacred running oxen.” They

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

"Certainly. Take seats. Yournamea,

“But we only want a bath.”
‘‘Exactly. What is your name, and

officers? No. Well, the rules do not pro

Th* Army of Tramp*.
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

Recollections of Bismarck's Wartime.
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

A MILLIONAIRE’S AMUSEMENT.
Tbs' Now Wealthy Ex-Jankumn Spends
Hin Time In Whlttllni;.
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
