One of the interesting character of history la James IV, king of Scotland from 1473 to 1513. lie was athletic. courageous and fond of adventure, la putting down insurrections and Im proving the criminal administration of the country be was foremost In tbe ranke and did not abun a band to band contest He married a daughter of Henry Til. of KoglaDd and made a treaty which eecured peace between the two countries. - lie labored to build np a navy and develop commerce and showed aklllful diplomacy In dealing wltb other nations. He was killed la battle at Find den, where bis army was dlaaetrously defeated by Henry VIII. Those were atrenuoua times, when It waa necessary for a king to be a fight er and to Inspire bla obstreperous sub jects with some degree of terror. Ktag James need often to go about the coon try In different disguises, aot only be cause be loved adventure, but because be could tbaa aacare Informatloa on tbe state ot tbe aatlea at drat band. It la related of the vigorous Bcottlah king that once when wandering through the hills during the night he waa over taken by a violent atorm and waa obliged to take shelter In a cavern near Wemys, which la oae of the moat re markable antlqultlea of Scotland. 1 Hav ing advanced eome way In. the king discovered a number of men and wo men reedy to begin to roaat a sheep for supper. From their appearance be sus pected that he had fallen Into evil com pany, but as It waa then too late be asked hospitality from them till the tempest was over. Tbey granted it and Invited the king, who waa un known to them, to alt dowo and Join thera at aupper. Tbey were a notort oua band of robbers and cutthroats, and this fact noon dawned upon James. Aa soon aa tbey had finished their aupper one of them presented a plate on which two dagger were laid In the form ot a 8t. Andrew's cross, telling the king that thla waa the dessert tbey alwaya served to atrangera; that be must choose one of the daggera and fight him whom tbe company selected aa his antagonist. The king, realising that be waa to be murdered, instantly seized both daggera, one In each hand, and plunged them. Into the hearts of the two robbers nearest to Mm. He then dashed out of the cave and made his escape, returning aa aoon aa pos sible wltn a body of soldiers, by whom the whole band was arrested and pub licly hanged. Punxsutawney Spirit A BRAHMS ANECDOTE. The Man Who Spoiled en Evening Fer the Great Composer. Among the Brahms anecdotes which are popular In Germany thla one waa contributed by Krau Lulse Pool. Brahms liked Baden-Baden, and took aa much pleasure In a winter visit to the place aa Id the crowded summer time. The residents knew this when tbey In vited him in 1870 to come and direct some of bis works. After tbe con cert the friends of the master assem bled at Goldemen Krans by invitation of the oberbunrermelster ganner to "drink a glass of wine." The session lasted long, but graduslly the company grew entailer. Presently they had all gone except Brahms and CorneUua Rubner. After awhile even Brahms suggested home, and hla young com panloo eagerly agreed to adjourn the aesslon. On the way home Brahma asked his companion, whose name be had not beard, "By tbe way, do yoa know thla young director Rubner?" "Are yon Interested In him J" be ask ed by way ot answer. "Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he Is not only great bug genial. Don't you know him?" I know him very well. He Is aa ar rogant conceited fellow, who can do nothing and knows nothing." The pleasure of the evening was spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a man whom Brahma had made up bis mind to like. The next morning be at tended, wltb soma others, a breakfast at Jensen's, . where he told the story. He had hardly finished when the door opened and Rubner walked In. "That's the man who slandered your friend," aald Brahms, and when ev erybody laughed he suspected what waa tofd to htm aa aoon as the first man recovered. j2B 51i iinft 1 turn J'HITfli iTutiwmiimjjii;tii:i.(fl VANISHED TREA8URE8. atseaeeaUeaa at Art Tkal Are Loot 1. us Wacla, The "Venoa de Mllo," which baa been at the Louvre for many years Is, as all tbe world knows, an Imperfect piece of sculptors, though It la tbe greatest treasure ef its kind the world baa ever aeon.

Tbe stage kiss la Important There m nothing which so testa tbe genius of an actor and an actress aa the ability under Just such circumstances to pro- done tbe illusion of love. On the stage K la necessary for them to forget tbeir rt personalities, to smother their awn feelings, one for the other, and In me place of the warped though genu ine kiss we see at the railroad station and the ateamshlp wharf present to our eyes by the magic of their acting a highly artificial product And tbla highly artificial product be cause It la art and because It la pro duced by art Impresses us as real aad genuine wsere the actually real and genuine would have filled oa only with derision and contempt Just aa real tears on the stage would fall to move on. Indeed, tbe beat stage kisses, the kisses that are moat convincing In the way of reallam, are usually gtven and received by actors and actresses whose feeling for each other In private life is, to say the least Indifferent Frequent ly, it audiences only knew, they watch lovemaklng on tbe stage between men and women who are literally at dag gers' points wltb each other. I would not go so far aa to say that such a state of feeling alwaya contrib utes to good stage lovemaklng and to realistic stage kissing, but I do know that It Is an axiomatic truth, recog oassd by theatrical rnanagers every where, aot to engags playfoik lovera to enact similar rotes In a drama If It Is at an possible to get any one else- Blanche Ring In "The Psychology of oat Stag Kiss."

Do aot take fright at what yoa may bear aboot excessive tips oa steamers and in Europe. They are numerous, but Bead oot be large. To scatter your money wildly In tips will mark you aa a novice. All the eerranta will quickly spot yea, pans the word around and fleece you. Tipa vary, of amass. In accordance wltb the grade of steam ers, hotels and other accommodations If you travel In a specially equipped floating palace you must expect to pay at least 20 for steamer tips. On regu lar first class steamers, however, the following are customary and will be ample: Stuteroom steward, 12.50; state room stewardess. $2.50; dining room steward, $&B0. These are obligatory. On the cheaper first class steamers they may be reduced to $1 each and ba entirely dlguitled. It all depends on the boat. By bilking with other pas sengers you can readily learn tbe cus tomary acale for your ateanier. If you use tbe bathroom recularly. pay -the bathroom steward $1; If leas frequently this might be cut to 25 cents a bath. If you read books from the library, give tbe steward a tip varying from $1 down to 25 cents, according to grade of steamer and frequency of hia aervlce to you. Tbe deck steward's gratuity la a variable quantity; be has opportunity for getting tips from ao many people that be fares better than inside etew arda, who are restricted to a certain number; bonce' do not be uneasy about him. Give him what you think be baa earned In waiting on you, according to relative aervlce with the other stew ards. A dollar la the maximum expect ed on ordinary boats. Thus your total tips need not exceed $10 a voyage and may not be mors than $5.
