Europe's Dirtiert Town.
All travelers should shun Boralaw,
In Gnllcla "the . back of Europe"
truthfully willed the dirtiest place In
Europe. It Is the oil trade center and
Is decidedly not beautiful. In tbe main
street all the bouses have been built
on . mine refuse, and most of them
have sunk below tbe level of the
street. In fact, there is not a solid
brick or stone building la the wbole
of the town, and many of the bouses
arc In a stnte of partial or entire col
lapse. Unrefined petroleum Is every
where. It gets into everything food
nnd clothing nnd the atmosphere
reeks of It. Along one side of the
main street Is a raised wooden pave
ment, and beueatb It is an oily ditch.
Boryslaw's main wnterway is a nar
row, sluggish, oily stream. On Its
banks the town's refuse Is cast, and
the market booths are erected along
side, while tbe local washerwomen
though from externnl appearances one
would judge tbat laundresses did not
exist there at all do tbeir washing to
Its oily depths.
Got Too Familiar.
A story told of Justice Brewer con
cerns a trip be made to his old home
In Kansas, accompanied by Mrs.
Brewer..' Is Washington a (justice of
the supreme court Is spoken of as "Mr.
Justice." and tbat Is tbe title Mrs.
Brewer always has beard. When they
reached Chicago, however, the "Mr."
was dropped and tbe Jurist was re
ferred ' to as "Justice Brewer." At
Omaha some old friends called him
"David Jm" and when they crossed
tbe Kansas line some former neigh
bors referred to him as "David."
"Let's go home," suggested Mrs.
Brewer.
"Why 7' asked the Justice.
"Because, dear." Mrs. Brewer re
plied. "I am afraid if we go any far
ther they will be calling you 'Davie.' "

Cure For Disconsolate Lovars.
Somebody hns lu out of nn old
book of the lime of Queen Elizabeth
the following advice to d slighted and
despondent lover:
Tye one end of a rope rlchte over a
bcame
And make a sllppe noose at the other ex
trenme. Just under the bcame lett a bucket be
sett:
On It lett the lovler most manfullle Rett.
Right over his heude be lett the snlcket
be gott
And under his ears well fastened the
knott.
The buckott kicked clears, lett htm tak
a full swinge ,
And leava alls the rests of the works to
the strings!
()n:nO, TIIIIK'.SDAY,
Poison In the Middle Ages.
In the middle ages so little was
known of toxicology that all sudden
snd mysterious deaths were attribut
ed to poison. Imt In the light of mod
ern knowledge many of these, says tbe
Krltlsti Medical Journal, are now eas
ily explained hy such dlsenses as ap
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even tbe
Ilorglas can I absolved from many
of the poisonings laid to their charge.
Nevertheless from early times In Italy
poison was a favorite means of "re
moving" an enemy. In England,
France and Germany cruder methods
of vengeance prevailed, and It was not
until tbe sixteenth century tbat tbe
Medici Introduced poisoning Into
France. The fashion spread wltb ter
rible rapidity, and poison was employ
ed In every rank of society to get rid
of Inconvenient persons. Tbe art In
troduced Into France by Catherine de"
Medici and ber followers took root so
deeply ns to blossom later Into tbe
black magic of Louis XIV.'s reign.
Monuments to Wellington.
Ilns any Brlilsb national hero mors
monuments to bis fame In London than
Wellington? There i l be Achilles
stntuo by Westinnscott In Hyde park,
cast from cannons taken at Salamanca.
Vlttorla. Toulouse and Waterloo, at a
cost of 10.000, defrayed by "the wom
en of England." Tbe equestrian statue
by Boebm at Hyde park corner is tbe
second equestrian statue erected Id
tbat locality. Tbe former one. by
Wyatt, costing some 30,000, was re
moved to Aldersbot when tbe sreb
wblcb it crowned was moved. Then
there Is the colossal equestrian statue
by Chantrey at tbe west front of tbe
Itoyal Exchange, tbe monument by Bell
Id tbe Guildhall, tbe monument by
Stevens In Ht. Paul's, wblcb was over
twenty years In hand, and a stone
stntup by M lines, erected In tbe Tower
of London near the Waterloo barracks.
London Chronicle.
Persian Cities.
Teheran. Persia's capital. Is one of
tbe least interesting cities of that an
cient lund. The houses are mean, tbe
streets narrow and dirty, and even tbe
Jiuhice of the shall Is fnr from being
a thing of beauty. It bus uo history
worth mentioning and ix only redeem
ed by tbe blrtli of Harniiu-ul-Knscbld
to a neighboring village. Its Impor
tance coincit from the presence of tbe
court, but It undergoes a sad decadence
In summer, wheu tbe unbealtbful cli
mate drives tbe greater part of tbe
population to more sanitary places.
Ispahan, the former capital of Per
sia, is far different Tbat city was
opce girdled by a wall of twenty-four
miles, and Sbab Abbas In thesixteeutb
century loaded it wltb magnificence.
It coutnlus splendid mosques and an
cient palaces which appeal to tbe im
agination. But Ispahan, too, bos fallen
upon evil days.
"Houses, bazaars, mosques, palaces,
wbole streets."" writes a traveler of a
few years ago, "are to be seen in to-,
tal abandonment, and one may ride for
miles without meeting with a siDgle
living creature except perhaps a soli
tary Jackal looking over a mall or a
fox running to bis bole."
A Witty Widow.
A widow of tbe nume rtf Rugg. hav

how she liked the change.
"Ob." she replied. "1 parted with my
old Rugg for a good Price."
