CITIES HARD TO KILL. mutt Home, Paris, Constantinople ?ndXoBdon fiare Suffered.^ It is a difficult thins to kill a city, ?md there are some well known places - that nave so much vitality, that they Will survive any number of disasters Take Rome as a first example. No fewer than fen times has she been swept by pestilence. She has been burned twice and starved out on six occasions. > Seven times she has been besieged or bombarded. But she still nourishes. Perhaps that is why she is ? called tie Eternal City. Paris bas had. eight sieges, ten fam? ines, two plagues and one fire which, -devastated it. We make no reference ? ; "to the number of revolutions, as they \ are too numerous to mention. Bur Par isstiMounsbes. * <>>nstantinople has been burned out inbe four pingues and five sieges. There are |& ???orne people who think that many of the sultans bare beemas bad for the city as any pestilence. And yet she. goes on. ' ; ??st?y there is the English metropo? lis. London began as a kind of mound In a swamp. Vln her early history she - u ). iwas sacked, burned- and all her inhab |?|?|tt^hts butchered^ - She has been deci-. mated , by plague five times, exclusive g: : .maladies. burned sev CTtimes. Sheis thrivmg in spite of all. &gMf:. OW American Bottles. I ^Mt-ifJn^ early American glassware the his? tory of our national art progress has ^g^een written.

Sometimes the jury returns a verdict for the lawyer, bf which the following 5s a good instance: Mr. John Jones, a " Isarrister of great influence and ability, ? -svas a leading counselor practicing in the Welsh circuit Upon one occasion after a felicitous speech on behalf of S 3?s client in a criminal case the jury as - soon as the judge had summed up. ..without whiting for the officer to take -their verdict called out "My lord, we are all for John Jones, with costsr Xondon Tit-Bits. At Home. ^~"Can you talk on your feet?' said the young man who was thinking rue? fully of the time he tried to make an after dinner speech.

T?ie rural congressman's wife, ambi? tious to be in society and wno fondly imagines that election to tile house of representatives carries with it the gold? en key to unlock all doors, learns ber first and bitter lesson when she discov? ers that position means something, but persons are everything. Such a woman comes to Washington full of her own importance, profoundly impressed with the greatness of her husband, fondly believing that the wife of the president the wives of the members of the cabi? net, the wives of the senators, will re? ceive her with open arms, that she will be invited to the dinners of which she has read'in. her'local paper, that she will get her name in the newspapers and her dresses will be described as was that of the governor's wife at the last, charity ball. Alas -for her disillusionment! She learns that while a congressman may be a very big man in his district he is a very small man in Washington until he has established his right to "be re? garded as above the average. If he has i?noney and tact, he may soon attract at? tention and cross the golden boundary, or if- he has no money, but much abili? ty,, he will reach his destination by an iother route, but if he has neither one nor the other, if he is simply an ordina? ry "member of congress, a very fair .specimen of middle class, commonplace -intelligence, the social recognition for which his wife sighs will never be hers. -Harper's Magazine.. ..*..?' An Unconcerned Mother. A curious incident occurred a day or twoago on an elevated train. Two women and a boy entered and found every seat occupied. A kind hearted young woman, who was seated. - took tte boy, a* stufdy little fellow of five years or sq. on heir lap. knowing that it > is even harder for a child to stand than for a grown person. She held him for some time, and then the mother and friend were enabled to-get seats oppo? site. Naturally ^the Volunteer nurse prepared to resign her charge, expect? ing that bis mother would call him to her lap. Not a bit of it? The two talked com? fortably, without giving a thought to the stranger; who was still holding the hoy and was: wondering, amusedly, just .what kind of mentality was responsi? ble for the mother's singular thought? lessness.-New York Tribune. Literary Coffee. Topers. The roll of literary men who have -been passionately fond of that Coffee, .which, makes the politician wise . And. see all things through fais half shut eyes, is decidedly shorter than that of the illustrious tea tipplers, although today /perhaps the ?diff?rence is fast disap? pearing. Voltaire, the king of wits and litterateurs, was the king, too, of coffee drinkers. * In his old age he took fifty cups a day, which sadly burt his diges? tion and hastened his death. The ab? stemious Balzac was fond of the same <drink, stimulating himself with it fron] midnight, when he began his literary work, till claybreak, when, starved and self forgetful, he would find himself bareheaded and in dressing gown and slippers, in the Place du Carrousel, ig? norant how he came there and miles from home,-Beverages; . . The Angler Fist. ? fishing smack had lately a strange catch off the Eddystone lighthouse. It was ait enormous specimen of tha t rare and, curious sea monster the angler fish, lit measured 4 feet 3 inches long and 3 feet 2 inches broad. The ca? pacity of these fish for devouring large quantities of food is something ^marvelous, but the peculiar thing is that they change the usual order , of things, for instead of the bird catching the' fish, in this instance the fish catches the bird and makes a meal of him. Guillemots, seagulls and ducks have .been discovered in the stomachs of these gluttons of the deep. -:-, Authors' Temptation?. The temptation to a writer to reveal facts under the cloak of fiction is enor? mous, but the danger is equally great There are few successful writers at the present day who have not been accused of "putting people in their books." Tc a certain class of readers there is an immense piquancy added to any char? acter who may be suspected of being ''real." and the success' that an auto? biographical "society novel" would achieve is too brilliant to contemplate. --Court Jpurnal. Persistent Gamblers. In gambling* the Filipinos are the most persistent race on earth. As soon as a servant or day laborer gets a small stake he stops work and gambles to get rich quick. Monte and cockfighting are the choice methods. If successful at play, the Filipino uever works more. If he loses everything, he will do any? thing to regain his losses. The Monocle ls Earmfcl. No sensible person will ever wear a single eyeglass unless he is blind of one eye. Its use means that one eye is neither employed nor unemployed, but is engaged in ceaseless though no doubt unconscious efforts to see as much as its more favored fellow. This straining is as harmful as anything could well be aud cannot fail to lead to the gravest results. One or the Other. "What do you think of that wheel?" asked Sprockets, whose bicycle had been in a collision. "I think it ought to be re-tired or retired." replied Dinwiddie.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Simitar, ont Different. Riggs- When I make a trade. I al? ways want scmethntg to hoot. biggs-San** here, and I usually get lt later wheu 1 kick myself.-Chicago New?. Hew Birds 51 i prat e. Many of the smaller and weaker birds, like the fly catchers, vireos, wrens, kinglets and bluebirds, in order to avoid their enemies, the , hawks, make their long flights by night stop? ping for rest and food in the daytime. The larger and bolder ones., like the hawks and crows, and. those of ex? tremely rapid flight like the swallows and humming birds, migrate fearlessly by day. and there are -some, like the Canada geese, which travel just when they choose, by day or night Migrat? ing birds usually fly at a height of from one to three miles, and this ena? bles them to see the rivers, the moun? tain ranges and the coast line. By these they direct their course, the old birds remembering the way they came before and the young ones following.-Y' Woman's Horne Companion. Peculiar Table Customs. In a book entitled "Domestic Man? ners of the Middle Ages" we are told that in those days dinner tables were covered by a **iiappe," or tablecloth. Upon it were placed a large saltcellar, hread and cups for wine, but no knives or plates. The reason for the absence of the. knives arose from the common practice in vogue of people carrying their own knives in a sheath attached to their girdle. In an early work, written by Lyd gate-"Rules For Behavior at Table" the guests are told to bring no knives ?nscoured to the table, which can only mean that each one was to keep his own knife-that is, the one he carried with him-clean. Kruger and the Queen's Ball. The following letter was written by tiie private secretary of President Kru? ger of the Transvaal in reply to an in? vitation from Johannesburg tb attend a ball given in ISM in celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday: "In reply to your favor of the 12th inst requesting me to ask his honor, the state president to consent to the m?k I lng use of his name as patron on the occasion of a. ball to be given at Johan? nesburg oh the 2Cth.inst, I have been instructed to inform you that whereas his honor considers a ball as Baal's service, for. which reasons the Lord or? dered Moses to kill all" offenders, where .as such is consequently contrary to his honor's principles, his honor cannot consent to the misuse of his name in connection with such a balL" . A Strange Feasting Custom* There was a strange custom in the Isle of Lewis when the people used to I gather to the church of St Mulvay at night each family bringing provisions and each family furnishing a peck of malt wMchTwas' brewed into ale. One who was;chosen for the purpose waded into the sea up to his middle and pour? ed out a cup of ale. calling, on a.sea god called Shoiiy to favor the people through the coming year.' The people, after seeing the ceremony, performed. : returned to the church and then went io the fields to spend the rest of tu<J night in rete..ry.-London Si andard. Books With Leave* Cnent. A book the leaves of which are un? cut possesses no .value of a ir. intrinsic character beyond one that is cut ??3 really less.. For that matter, if it is to remain uncut, it is as valueless as it is. useless. There are book col ! lectors, however, who place a pre ari am upon books with uncut leaves , a ::d so. commend tlieai -in their advertisements and circulars. There are persons who load certain shelves in their libraries with uncut Dooks. Of course they are not for use and are not used and art? valueless except fer keeping. The Promoters. v "Let us make the. capital stock ?1. 000,000.000." said the first promoter. "All right" said the second, who was preparing. the prospectus on -the type writer. "Will it be bard to increase that cap? ital?" asked the first. "No. indeed. All 1 have to do is to hit the *0' key a few more ti mes." Baltimore American1. A Devoted Parent.
