A CARDINAL'S SALT CUP.
Monumental Work of Art Deiigntd b
Benvsnuto Cellini,
At the same time time the cardinal
pave me some other com miss ions to
exwiito he employed me to make a
model of a snltrelliir, but desired It
should be In a different taste from the
common ones. I deMlgiirtl an
oval almost two-third of a cubit lu size,
and upon this oval as the ea appear
to eiubrafe the earih I made two (In
ures about a hand lilxh In a sitting pos
turn, with the les of oue within those
of the other, ns some lone bra unties of
the sea are ween to enter the land. And
In the hand of the male lieu re, repre
senting tlie ocean, I put A ship, design
ed with great care, In which was dc
posited a great quantity of salt. Un
der this I represented four sen horses,
nmi in the right hand of the ocean I
put his trident. The eartli I represent
ed by the female figure, tho most ele
gant and leautlfiil I could form an
idea of, leaning with one hand against
'j grand Mid magnltU-ent temple. This
was to hold the pepper. In the other
hand I put a cornucopia adorned with
all the embellishments I could think of.
To complete, this Idea In that part
which appeared to be earth I represent
ed all the most beautiful animals
which so small a space was capable of
containing. In the remainder of the
oval I placed several grand and noble
ornaments. From Itenvenuto Cellini's
Autobiography.
NOT A TRAMP.
Th Tag That Rider Haggard Put on a
Literary Hobo.
Itlder Haggard was on one oceanic,
traveling across the United States an
the guest of John nays Hammond tn
Hammond's private car.
"What 1 want to see," an hi Hag
gard, "is the real tramp. I haven't
seen one since I reached this country
I eau't believe you have as many as
hns been stated to be the case."
Harris Hammond, the eldest son of
John Hays, promised:
"I'll show you one at the next stop."
He had seen one riding on the trucks
under the car, and at the next atntfon
he went down and called the hobo out.
When the tramp entered the car he
was covered with cinders nnd dust
and looked like something from the
lower regions.
Hammond shook bauds with hi in
ami Introduced him. Buying:
"This Is Mr. Itlder Haggard."
"Uider Haggard!" exclaimed the
hobo. "Why, I've read all of your
hooks and loved eve'ry one of them!"
Then ho sat down nnd discussed lit
erature with Haggard for half an
hour. At the end of the talk Harris
took him back, let him get sonic of tho
dust and cinders off and handed him a
good cigar.
'That fellow's not u tramp," said
Haggard. "He's a gentleman In dls-truss."--Popular
Magazine.
The Virtue of Traveling.
Thoro are two great fallacies based
on ancient and rusty saws It were a
noble deed to demolish. One Is that
traveling Is a form of wrongdoing,
founded belike on the stupid saying
that a rolling stone gathers no moss.
A pertinent reply would be that a
mossy stone Is never highly polished
and that a stone is not a proper place
for moss, anywuy. The other undermin
ing caution Ih that one ought to see
ones own new country before one seen
the wealth of the old countries. Un
less on business bent, there Is no
earthly reason why one who can af
ford to travel should not begin at
mce with the rh hest and most beau
tiful countries, with Italy and ti reive.
Life Is short nnd uncertain; one can
not tell what may happen to deprive
one of sight and health and means day
after tomorrow, therefore it Is well to
se ami enjoy the best while one cnn.

Dendly Pulque,
In iJpUe of her long years of inde
pendence Mexico hns not solved the
drink problem. The national drink of
the poorer classes is pulque (.pro
nounced "poolkay"), the fermented off
xprlug of a plant resembling the a lot-.
It tastes like state buttermilk dashed
with a strong done of stagnant water
and must be drunk within twenty-four
hours of fermentation, lis action Is
Instant and powerful, and Its speody
results aro softening of the brain, pa
ralysis of the nerves and death. So
deadly are Its effects that no employer
of labor will employ a peon from the
pulque making districts until he has
tried everywhere else.-Chicago News.

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Wellington's Plea In Favor of the
Thames Embankment Site.
Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment of his life was
not In any of hi great buttles, but
that In which be had to forbid William
IV. to attend u public bauquet lu the
city during a time of great national
excitement. Of the millions of people
who every year see the Kngllsh houses
of parliament how many Imagine that
their position was determined by stra
tegic considerations? No one nowadays
can think of the palace of Westmin
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies, ltut when the old
houses were burned down nnd the task
of rebuilding faced there was a propo
sition to establish them on or near the
site of St. James' palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
Tho site suggested, Its advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrallty and convenience than any
Ither. Hut to the argument of the
duke there could then be no answer.
"With a vast and growing population,
such as yours in London," he said,
"you must never make It possible that
you can be surrounded. You must
built! your houses of parliament uion
the river, so that the means of ingress
nnd egress are safe aud that the popu
lace cannot exact their demands by
sitting down around you." Sir William
Krnser, In whose memoirs the story is
recalled, mentioned It to Napoleon III.
Just before the death of the latter.
"What wisdom!" he wild. "What wis
dom!" And it set him musing upon the
different turn which the history of
France might have taken if In other
ways as great precautions had been
observed in his own case. St. James'
Gazette.
SECRECY IN KRUPP'S.
Employee! Bound by Oath and Noth
ing Left to Chance.
One of the first steps that a new
employee at Krupp's (the famous gun
and armor factory of Germany) has to
take is to bind himself to absolute
secrecy as to what he sees or hears in
the firm. Hut, tills oath notwithstand
ing, nothing Is left to chance, for ev
ery precaution is taken to prevent the
employee from knowing anything
more than Is required for his own Im
mediate work. In the offices nil cor
resiondence passes In locked cases.
One official forwarding such a case
to another writes the ltnme of the ad
dressee on a slip of paper, which is
Inserted under a glass frame Ingen
iously mounted in the ease. Only on
opening (he case with its speclul key
can the address be removed, and It Is
therefore Impossible for papers of im
portance to fall Into wrong hands.
In the drawing offices every scrap of
paper Is locked at night Into fireproof
and burglar proof safes, fitted with
time locks. The employees have to
change their cloHies before entering
and nfter leaving tho office, nnd they
take their meals In the works In the
dining hall. In cases where the se
crets of the firm are Inevitably shared
by employees Krupp's pays salaries
such as would make any attempt at
bribery Ineffective. This reference Is
more particularly to the men In charge
of the armor plate nnd steel manu
facturing process. Army and Navy
Journal.
Queer Eyes of a Queer Spider.
The attus family of spiders, abound
ing In Java, have In addition to nu
merous smaller eyes u pair of large
onea which have been called "gig
lamp" eyi. A specimen of the spider.
raptured near Hultenzorg, exhibits a
remarkable power of changing the col
or of Its eyes. When taken the eyes
were dark brown like the body, but
suddenly they changed to bright grass
green. Soon a f t erwa nl t hey turned
back from green to brown, and this
change of color was repeated several
times In succession, npparenlly at the
will of tho creature. Whether this ac
tion on the part of this curious spe
cies of spider Is an effort to Inspire
termr In Its enemy or whether it is an
effect of Its own terror Is uncertain.
Another singular fact Is that the color
of either one or both eyes could thus
be changed nt will. Harper's Weekly.
Ancient Gardens.
The Egyptians were conversant with
the art of landscape gardening, though
they had to contend with the flatness
of the land. Water, however, as an
adjunct was often called Into play, for
thero was the Inexhaustible Nile. We
have th"ee plans of their gardens, as
the one found In the tomb of Story lea t
Tell el Amnron, which gives us the
perfect Idea of how a grand garden
was laid out. We have, too, pictures
of Kgyptlans reclining on chairs and
fishing in these artificial Inkes.
Ueelses speculation.
"I often wonder," an elderly wife
snld sadly one day to her husband,
"whether all those vows and protesta

"Well, my dear." the husband an
swered mildly, "what's the difference
whether they were true or not, since
we both believed them?" Washington
