PROVERBS ABOUT CZARS. A czar in the desert is only a man. The czar himself can get muddy if he steps in the mud. Even the crown of the czar cannot cure headache. The czar's crowds cannot have more than two horns. A drop of water in the eye of the czar costs the country a great many handkerchiefs. When the czar makes you a present of an egg he expects of you a hen. The czar can disturb the earth, but he cannot move it from its axis. The czar knows not misery because he does not live in a cabin. The arm of the czar is long, but it cannot reach to the sky. The voice of the czar has an echo even when there are no mountains. The ukases of the czar are worth nothing if God says not "Amen." The horse which has once been mounted by the czar neighs continually. Dress In Japan. Between the sexes in Japan there is very little difference in the main features of dress, and little children are only beautiful little miniatures of their parents, more gayly and richly dressed. Under his kimono a man of the upper class wears a sort of kilted divided skirt, something approaching the nature of trousers. This is called the "hakama" and is always made of stiff silk. A woman wears instead an under kimono. Both sexes wear two little aprons round the loins, called "koshi-maki," and a sort of shirt called the "suso-yoke." The narrow sash worn by a man is not an item of great importance, for, although it is always made of rich silk, it is not so much for show as for use, to keep the kimono in place. Girls and the Old Schools. A ruling for a New Haven school made in 1684 reads, "And all girls be excluded as improper and inconsistent with such a grammar school as ye law injolns and is the designe of this settlement." One Benjamin Mudge, a New England schoolmaster of many years' service, has left the following interesting memorandum: "In all my school days, which ended in 1801, I never saw but three females in public schools in my life, and they were only in the afternoon to learn to write." A STORY OF GEROME. The Master Painter, the New Student and a Practical Joke. A number of years ago a poverty stricken painter, since famous and prosperous, went to Paris from a country village and entered the studio of Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. The new student's first day chanced to be "criticism day," and the older students, finding themselves cheated out of their customary boisterous hazing by this circumstance, resolved to have their fun in an indirect fashion. Accordingly they took the novice aside and impressed upon him in the most friendly and confidential way imaginable that he was under the obligation of giving a tip to the professor when he criticised his work. Increduous at first, the callow youth let himself be convinced and promised to do the proper thing. His means were so small that he awaited his turn with an ill concealed anxiety which those in the plot relished keenly. When his turn came he convulsed the room by slipping a half frane piece into the professor's hand. Gerome was too familiar with the practical jokes of the Beaux Arts not to comprehend the situation and had much ado to keep his countenance. He succeeded, however, and blurted out with the gruffness which he assumed so admirably: "What does this mean? You'll do well to come to see me some fine morning and straighten this thing out." The bewildered pupil interpreted the admonition literally and presented himself at Gerome's private studio two days later. Gerome received him like a father, led him on to confess his destitution and to unburden himself of his hopes and fears, gave him good counsel and restored to him his half frane piece in the form of a twenty franc gold piece. The Curse of Money. A negro was arrested for stealing. He had been caught helping himself to the contents of the cash drawer in the store of a Mr. Appleton. The magistrate before whom the negro was brought knew him and was much surprised to learn the charge against the prisoner. Looking at the negro earnestly, he said: "Sam, I'm sorry to see you here. Didn't you know that no good could come from stolen money? There's a curse on it." Well, jedge," replied the prisoner, "I didn't know Mistah Appleton stole I couldn't tell dat by best A PERSIAN TRAGEDY. Sublime Courage by Which Princess Salome Escaped Her Master. James Baker, a well known traveler and writer, tells a curious story of war last years ago. The Persian she was besieging Tiflis, and the husband of the Princess Salome had been shot in the siege. When the Persians tried to save her young son, but he w torn from her arms and backed pieces before her eyes. Her own was spared and she was borne to camp outside the walls of Tiflis to shah. He sold her to Djafar Bek, who shut her up in a castle—a part of what still remains—near where now is lovely tropical botanical garden Tiflis. Charmed by her beauty, he ed her to become his wife. She fused and begged her purchaser slay her. The Persian her a mote to reconsider the matter and one next day he lay reclining on a cushion under a tree on that hot, ny hillside and awaited her answer. Presently she appeared before her veiled in a long, pure white robe, and stately, her face deathly pale. advanced, her armed jailers follow her. The Persian waved his aside and asked the princess; "You sent to my wife?" "Yes," was solemn answer. "I consent to you, for after the death of my husband and son it is my destiny; there is other fate for me. "In Georgia," said the prince "there are certain families that put strange powers and dark secrets mother foretold I should be the witch a Djafar, and from my mother I receive these powers to read this treasure." The Persian was impressed her manner and her presence. She her power. "Give me your hands," said. "Let me read there if I have long years of happiness you." He held forth his hands held it until it slightly trembled fingers. Then she burst forth cry of horror, "Oh, my master, est thou that death awaits this very night?" Dpjafar trembled now. "Thou wilt die hand of a man thou hast this offended." "Is it by Assa Dhoulla he asked." "We quarreled today about you. He would have you." "Oh, my master," exclaimed Salome, "to save THEE I must some object upon which he has today, then I can avert this eclipse his arms useless against What! You can do this?" Girls and the Old Schools.

One Benjamin Mudge, a New England schoolmaster of many years' service, has left the following interesting memorandum: "In all my school days, which ended in 1801, I never saw but three females in public schools in my life, and they were only in the afternoon to learn to write." Mr. Mudge neglects to say, however, that the girls were permitted not only to the writing lessons, but they were also privileged to attend the general annual catechising. PRESSED TO DEATH. Fearful Punishment That Obtained Under Old English Law. Under the old English law if a prisoner stood mute and failed to plead to the indictment a jury was impaneled to determine whether his conduct came from obstinacy or from a natural impediment. According to Blackstone, if the prisoner was found to be obstinately mute and the indictment was for high treason it was settled that his silence was equivalent to a conviction and that judgment and execution should follow. This same rule applied to petit larceny and misdemeanors, but upon appeal or indictments for other felonies or petit treason, according to the ancient law, the prisoner was not deemed convicted; but, because of his obstinacy, he received "the terrible sentence of penance or peine" and was pressed to death. Blackstone thus describes this punishment: "That the prisoner be remanded to the prison from whence he came and put in a low, dark chamber and there be laid on his back on the bare floor, naked unless decency forbids; that there be placed upon his body as great a weight of iron as he could bear and more; that he should have no sustenance, save only on the first day three morsels of the worst bread, and on the second day three drafts of standing water that should be nearest the prison door, and in this situation this should be alternately his daily diet till he died or (as anciently the judgment ran) till he answered." During the trials for witchcraft in New England a respectable citizen being so accused, knowing that by reason of the excitement of the times a plea of not guilty and trial would result in a conviction with confiscation of property, and the same judgment would follow a plea of guilty, refused to plead, thereby preventing a conviction and enabling his family to retain his property. The court ordered that he be pressed because of his obstinacy. The order was carried out and the victim died.—Chicago News. WISDOM OF ANIMALS.

I couldn't tell dat by jest lookin' at it."—Harper's Weekly. Struggling With the Language. A story is told of a German teacher at an American girls' college who was not thoroughly acquainted with the English language and the college slang had not helped her in solving the puzzle. She had heard the girls talk about going off on larks. Returning one day from a picnic she said to some of the girls, "Oh, I have been on such a canny." She startled her class one day by complaining against some of the cold days of September, saying, "Why, it was so cold one day I had to stay in my room all the morning and sit with my feet over the transom trying to keep warm." Salvation With Food. Fourteen-year-old Emma, who had come home from her first day's schooling in elementary physiology, was questioned by her parents as to what she had learned. "Papa," she complained, "I don't think I like physiology." "Why not, my dear?"

Apuleius says that in the spring fetes of Isis, the forerunners of the Roman carnival, he saw a monkey with a straw hat and a Phrygian tunic. But monkeys do not seem to have been popular in Rome. The cleverest of all the animal performers were of course the dogs, and one showman had the ingenious idea of making a dog act a part in a comedy. The effects of a drug were tried on him, the plot turning on the suspicion that the drug was poisonous, while, in fact, it was only a narcotic. The dog took the piece of bread dipped in the liquid, swallowed it and began to reel and stagger till he finally fell on the ground. At the right moment he began to move very slightly as if waking out of a deep sleep. Then he raised his head, looked around, jumped up and ran joyously to the proper person. The remark that animals do not grow wiser with age is contradicted by the habit of elephants, noticed even in ancient times, of making the young ones cross a ford first. The officer who superintended the embarkation of the elephants sent from India to Abysinla for use in Lord Napier's campaign tells how one old elephant volunteered to drive all the others on board. His services were invaluable, but when they had all embarked and he was invited to follow them he firmly declined and had to be left on shore. I myself have noticed the acquired caution of the older dogs of Constantinople, which left untouched the crusts I threw them, while the young ones ate them ravenously. A Greek native told me that this was because Europeans were in the cruel habit of throwing poisoned bread to the street dogs; hence the old ones, having seen the bad effects on their companions, refused to eat bread thrown by Europeans, though they took it readily from any Turkish beggar who shared his scanty fare with them.—Contemporary Review.

My mother foretold I should be the wife of Djafar, and from my mother I, too, give these powers to read the future. The Persian was impressed by manner and her presence. She saw power. "Give me your hand," she "Let me read there if I shall be long years of happiness with." He held forth his hand. She did it until it slightly trembled in her hands. Then she burst forth with a faint horror, "Oh, my master, know thou that death awaits thee, perceive this very night?" Djafar Bek embled now. "Thou wilt die by the end of a man thou hast this day offended." "Is it by Assa Dhoulla Bek?" asked. "We quarreled today, and but you. He would have bought it." "Oh, my master," exclaimed home, "to save thee I must have one object upon which he has looked at, then I can avert this evil and take his arms useless against thee." What!

The Skill They Show In Their Method of Growing Mushrooms. The little busy bee has had a less conspicuous place in our hall of fame for insects since we have come to know more of the sterling qualities and great intelligence which are attributes of the ants. Professor J. R. Ainsworth Davis gives proofs of their right to our applause. He says: "In tropical America the traveler in their native region often sees thousands of ants marching in column of route, each holding in its powerful jaws a piece of green leaf about the size of a sixpence. These they take to their nests. The material is used as an elaborate sort of mushroom culture, requiring much more skill and intelligence than that in which human beings engage. The mushroom grower sets spawn in the beds he prepares, but the ant does not need to do this. The desired spawn soon makes its appearance in the chewed leaf. But in its natural state it is inedible and must undergo careful treatment before it yields the mushroom which the ant desires. The necessary work is done by a special caste of gardener ants. These weed out noxious germs, etc., and pruning off the tips of the threads, prevents them from growing into the air and producing useless toadstools. As a result of this the threads swell into innumerable little rounded white thickenings, each of which is about one-fiftieth of an inch across. It is these which are the mushrooms. These curious bodies constitute the sole food of the ant-or at any rate, the chief food." Homely, but Wise. This motto is displayed on a downtown desk: "The elevator to success is generally stuck; try the stairs." Homey, but wise.-Boston Traveler. There are those who think that if their brand of soap had been known the world would have been cleaned without a flood.-Mark Twain.

Genesis (1x, 22) refers to Tualcain as "as instructor of every archer in brass and iron," and in Deuteronomy (iii, 11) the bedstead of the giant Og was "a bedstead of iron." The galleys of Tyre and Sidon traded in this metal. Chinese records ascribed to 2,000 B.C. refer to it. Horace speaks of it as superior to bronze. The bronze age came before the iron age because copper, found as a nearly pure metal, easily fuses, and with another soft metal—tin or zinc-alloy into hard bronze, while iron, found only as ore, must have the impurities burned and hammered out by great heat and force before it can be made into a tool. Not a Favorite Breed. Layers of good, plain dogs which have been allowed to grow naturally will appreciate the story of the English peddler who went to a dealer in dogs and thus described what he wanted: "Hi wants a kind of dog about so ligh an' so long.

The next does not seem to have appeared for nearly a hundred years. It was called "A Collection of the Names of Merchants Living In and About the City of London." This was printed for Lee, Lombard street, in 1677. The names were arranged alphabetically, 1,790 in number. In a separate list were the names of no fewer than forty-four bankers under this heading. "Goldsmiths who keep running cashes," twenty-three of them being then in Lombard street. This book contains the name of the father of Pope, the poet.

Originally Rung Morning and Evening to Give the Time of Day. The story of the curfew was but the unsupported assertion of one historian of the sixteenth century, which was repeated in prose and poetry till it was woven into the language. Like many other legends, there is just a grain of truth in it, but its suggested origin is false, the derivation of curfew is erroneous, and the scuttle shaped instruments which supported the theory were quite different articles of household use. Probably the word is derived not from couvre feu, cover fire, but from carrefour, in old French spelling carou from the Latin for crossroads, and DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH Hyomet, the Only Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh No one should confound Hyomet with the patent medicines that are advertised to cure catarrh. It is as far superior to them all as the diamond is more valuable than cheap glass. Their composition is secret, but Hyomet gives its formula to all reputable physicians and is prescribed by them generally. Its base is the valuable eucalyptus oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities. This is combined with aromatic and healing gums and balsams, making a pure liquid which, when used in the Hyomet pocket inhaler, fills the air you breathe with germ-killing, disease destroying and healing powers that restore health to every par of the nose, throat and lungs. The only way to cure catarrh and all other diseases of the respiratory organs is to breathe Hyomet. This treatment has been so successful in curing 99 per cent. of all who have used it that Hyomet is now sold by Hutchinson under an absolute guarantee to refund the money in case it does not benefit. You run no risk whatever. You run no risk whatever if you keep using Hyomet. If it did not possess unusual powers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan. The complete Hyomet outfit costs $1 00 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomet and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime; and additional bottles of Hyomet can be obtained for $50.

Its Changes Illustrated In the Case of the Mediterranean. Changes in the level of the sea are well shown in the case of the Mediterranean. M. Ph. Negris in a brochure presented to the Academy of Science furnishes interesting information on this point, it being apparent that the sea has greatly increased in depth as compared to ancient times. Formerly a bridge 3,000 feet long united Leucate to the continent. Today it is submerged, but the foundations of the work were discovered eleven feet beneath the surface. It may therefore be concluded that since the construction of the bridge the sea has risen at this point over nine feet. In the bay of Amphissa, Greece, there has been observed a mole that is over nine feet beneath the surface. At Rhenee there has been found a completely submerged dock, evidently of Roman construction, the depth of the sea above the dock at places being fully nine feet. From all of these facts one may conclude that there has taken place an important increase in the depth of the sea since the Roman period, the Mediterranean having risen at least nine feet in about 2,000 years.
