Of men and maids I've Imowa the best.
Like the far traveled king In Homer.
Brit, oh, for the land that bore met
Oh, for the stoat old land
Of breezy Ben and winding glen
And roaring flood and sounding strand.
I've stood where stands In pillared pride
The shrine of Jove's spear shaking da tightest
And humbled Persia stained the tide
Of free O reck seas with heaps of slaughter.
I've stood upon the rocky crest
Where Jove's proud eagle spreads his plnloa
Where looked the god far east, far west.
And all he saw was Rome's dominion.
I've seen the domes of Moscow far.
In green and golden glory gleaming,
And stood where sleeps the mighty czar,
By Neva's flood so grandly streaming.
I've stood on many a famous spot
Where blood of heroes flowed like riven,
Where Deutschland rose at Gravelotte,
And dashed the strength of Gaul to shivers,
I've fed my eyes by land and sea,

But still my heart remains with thee.

A DUOLOGUE.
This Is not a "problem story."
Neither does it disouss the advantages
or disadvantages ot having "new wo
men" in onr midst
It is a true tale.
And it conoerns a good man and a
bad woman.
Tbey would never have met if the
London county council bad come into
existence a few years earlier than it did,
beoanse be saw her at the Empire. The
esact date was Aug. 29, and it was a
very hot night
The curtain had fallen on the last
scene of the ballet The man rose from
his seat and walked across the prom
enade toward the bar.
fie passed several women, bnt be did
not pass her. He had no intention of
stopping, still less of speaking.
Yet, when he saw her, be stopped,
and when she stopped he spoke.
I do not remember what be said.
They sat down together at a little
table. A waiter brought them a cup oi
black coffee and a whisky and soda
He drank the coffee.
Tbey talked, bnt' again I cannot re
member what tbey said.
A man on the stage sang a comio
song. A woman on the promenade faint
ed and was carried away.
Then she paid, "Well, are yon oom
ing?" "No," he roplied. "I don't know
why I stopped or why I spoke to yon.
I am cot one of the crowd here. I am
not a performer in the 'Comedy of
Life. I am only an onlooker.
She stared at him. "Then why"
"I have told yon I do not know.
Perhaps I thought yon looked out of
place here." -
'I have been here every evening for
1 3 mouths. I ought not to look 'out of
place.' "
"Why did yon come?"
"Do you expect me to answer that
question in this building, surrounded
by these people?"
"I am sorry. Of course not. It would
resemble a performance by 'The Inde
pendent Theater sooioty,' I suppose?"
"I had better go, then, if yon do
not"
"No; stay and talk. Are you happy?"
"Hardly."
"Are you miserable?' '
"1 am not sure."
"Did you ever love anything?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Life the trees and fields; the wild
moorlands; the sea; the birds that
sing in the hedgerows; the cattle in
the fields; the horses and dogs at the
farms. Yes, I loved life. I loved to feel
the wind blowing in my face; I loved
to smell the scent of the heather; I loved
to hear the song of the mountain
streams. Ha. ha! I'm almost poetic I
I'm"
"Gooa"
"That is alL Did yon ever love any
thing?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"No one I mean only a dog. "
"Oh I"
"But he is dead."
"Of course."
"Why 'of courser "
"Because you loved him. "
The man lit a cigarette. "Do yon be
lieve in heaven?"
"No; if I did, I should have been
dead long ago. I am afraid to die be'
cause I don't know What comes after
death. I so long for for peace foi
something else something beautiful
something to love. Do not laugh. "
"You are not a bad woman. "
, "Yes, lam."
"Then yon ought not to have been
one."
"True. That is the cruel part of it"
They watched the men and women
promenading before them. Then the
woman said, "It is a strange world."
The man did not answer. He was
thinking. She continued: "You are a
strange person. Where do yon live?
What do you do? How do you amuse
yourself?"
"Oh, I live alone, quite alone, now
my dog is dead. I watch poople. I listen
to what they say, and I think."
"What do you think?"
"I think that when he whoever 'ha'
is created men and women he ought to
nave made them altogether gods or al
together animals. No one in the world
is happy, because no one is ever certain
whether he or she should live for the
'real' or for the 'ideal. ' And therefore
men ' decided to seek for botb, to be
sometimes good and sometimes bad, to
play at being gods once a week and
beasts twice a week in faot, to live for
the 'real' 6i days out of the 7. And
some of us, you know, oannot, as the say
log goes, 'do things by halves.' We
.Host be wholly one thing or the other.
There is only the 'good' or 'bad. ' Then

leave the choice to fate, and when fat
has chosen for us the world rises and
cither crowns us with the laurel wreath
or paints us with colors from the devil's
palate. The world is so blind it cannot
see that really we bad no choice in the
matter. I thick sometimes fate makes
a mistake. She grows weary sometimes
and gives the 'good' where she ought to
have given the 'bad. ' "
'She made a mistake when she chose
for me. Say she made a mistake
please. "
'She made a mistake. I knew it the
moment I saw your faca You were in
tended to show men the path to heaven. "
'And I have only shown them the
road to"
'Hush. Come with me. Come home
with me and rest I live alone. I have
never done any good in the world. I
have never loved any one or helped any
one. I am a good man. it is not my
fault I was meant for 'a bad. ' But as
fate made a mistake yon can trust me.
I will try to help you. 1 will try to
make life beautiful for you. I will take
yon where the sea murmurs among the
rocks, where the wind blows the scent
of heather across the great wild moors.
Come with me"
The woman rose and gazed at the man
with large, dreamy eyes. " hat do
you mean?"
'I am going to make life beautiful
and peaceful and pure for you. "
"Leave off dreaming, ' she whisper
ed sharply. "Awake I Do yon know
where you are? Do yon see the sort of
people who surround us? This is no
place for dreams 1 It is time to go good

strangely to me yon cannot understand
what it means for a woman like me
to hear a man like you speak as you

He laughed. "Because fate made a

"Listen! Yon are a good man. Per

dead, tell the world what you have told
me. Yes, I know it's nothing. That
may be so, but tell them what happen

the world, because good men are rare.

you've done for me tonight, what I feel

The orchestra was playing "God Save
the Queen," and the woman disappear
ed into the crowd. The man watched
the electric lights go out He lit a cig
arette. Then some one told him it was
time to leave the building. He ran out
quickly into the street and searched for
her, but she could not be found.
And all this happened some time ago,
as I have said, and it is all quite true.
And the man has not forgotten his
promise. rail Mall Budget
Phosphorescent Light,
Some experiments have been made in
France to determine the specifio action
of a considerable lowering of tempera
ture upon the brilliancy of certain
bodies which shine in the dark after
having been exposed to sunlight Tubes
of glass filled with the powdered sul
phides of calcium, barium, strontium,
eta, all substances possessing the prop
erty of phosphorescence in a high degree,
were exposed to the solar rays and after
ward proved to be luminous in the dark,
this being done in such a way as to fix
upon the memory the mean valne of the
progressive diminution of the emitted
light, and the time also was noted dur
ing which the light was strong, less
strong and weak respectively. The tubes
were next placed in bright sunlight for
one minute and then suddenly intro
duced into a double walled glass cylin
der, the interspace of which was filled
with nitrous oxide at 140 degrees C. In
abont five or six minutes the tempera
ture of the tubes was some 100 degrees.
Tbey were then withdrawn, and when
observed in a perfectly dark chamber no
luminosity whatever was perceptible.
As the tubes recovered their normal tem
perature, however, the phosphorescence
returned without the exciting agency
of the sun s rays or of diffused light
These results were proved to be general
for all phosphorescent substances em
ployed. The experiments showed, too,
that the production of the phosphores
cent light requires a certain movement
of the constituent molecules of bodies.
Loss of the Musical Faculty.
"Amnsia, " or loss of the musical fac
nlty, has been reviewed by Professor
Edgren of Stockholm. The disease
proves to be strictly analogous to
aphasia, the loss of speech, which may
or may not accompany it. Two general
forms are recognized the sensory form,
where tones cannot be appreciated by
the ear or notes read by the eye, and
the motor form, in which the patient
cannot sing, play or write notes. Bal
let places tns expression of music be
tween the emotional and the artificial
or verbal language. Music is less com
plicated and earlier appreciated than
speech. Many children sing before they
speak, and Beyer has told of a child of
9 months who could repeat the notes
exactly as played on the piano, while
Dvorak, the musical composer, is said to
have had a son who sang the "Fatinitza"
march with his nurse at the age of 1
year. London Publio Opinion

MARIE OF GREECE.
A Pretty and Well to Do Priacees Whs
AIM Has Brains.
Princess Marie of Greece narrowly
escaped becoming czarina of Russia.
She was the choice of the present em
peror's mother, who had set her heart
on having the pet daughter of her fa
vorite brother as her successor. But
there were religions obstacles to the
match. Strict rules exist in the Greek
church prohibiting marriage between
first cousins. Although dispensations
are readily granted in suoh oases by
the pope, the Orthodox church is far
less amenable to leniency In the mat
ter, and so bigoted a member of tba
Greek rite as Alexander HI could car-
tainly not be expected to sot an exam
ple of disobedience to the canon laws
by permitting his eldest son to wed bis
first cousin. Princess Marie is a pretty
girl, somewhat foil faced. She has in
herited the comeliness that distinguish
ed her maternal grandmother, the
Grand Duchess Constantino Constant!
novitcb, nee Princess of Saxe-AIten-burg,
whose sister, the ex-queen of Han
over, and herself were known in their
youth as two of the most beautiful wom
en in Europe.
Princess Mario has inherited her
mother's taste for the sea and is pas
sionately fond ot yachting, knowing
how to handle a boat almost as well
as her mother, who enjoys the distinc
tion of being the only petticoat admiral
in existence, having been appointed to
that dignity in the Russian fleet by the
late czar, a recognition of her action
in passing the examination for a sail
ing master's certificate. The prin
98 is a very .desirable catch and
should experience no difficulty in find
ing a good husband, for in addition
to her good looks and amiable char
acter she will inherit the prinoipal
portion of the large fortune whioh her
cantious and exceedingly wide awake
father, King George, has been able to
amass since he was elected to the throne
of Greece by means of thrift and specu
lation. THE CIRCUS RING.
It Is Always Exactly Forty-two Feet Kin
Inches In Diameter.
In various ways the circus of the pres
ent day differs from that of the past
but the ring remains unchanged. Jt is
always 42 feet 9 inches in diameter. Go
where you will, search the world from
China to Peru, with diverging trips to
the frosty Caucasus and the desert of
Sahara, and never a circus will you find
without a ring 43 feet 9 inches in di
ameter. There is a reason for this remarkable
uniformity. Circus riders and circus
horses are nomadic. Wherever their
wanderings bring them tbey must find
the ring always the same, else they
will be disturbed in their performance,
if not really rendered incapable. Trained
to the 42 feet 9 inch ring, the horse and
his rider have grown nsed worn, one
might say to the exact angle of de
clivity toward the center of the ring
which the radius of 21 feet and a given
speed produce.
The mound on the circumference of
the ring always has on the inside a lev
el, so to speak, of earth, at the same
angle as that into which radius and
speed throw the driver. As for speed,
that, after the horse has gone round two
or three times and is warmed to his
work, is the same through the act. In
fact, a strap generally holds his head
so that he cannot get beyond a certain
pace.
The ringmaster snaps his whip, the
clown shouts, the band plays louder and
louder, but the horse knows just how
much this empty show means and jogs
on at the same old pace until, with the
last jump through a tissue balloon, the
act is ended. Exchange.
The Roman Legionary.
The Roman legionary is a personage
of remarkable interest. He is indeed the
first soldier whom we seem to recognize
as such a disciplined man of the high
est training, with pride In himself, con
fidence in his leaders and considerable
esprit de corps; in fact, a warrior whom
the modern soldier can take to his heart
There were legions and legions, of
course, as in modern armies there are
regiments and regiments. Some indeed,
like the famous Tenth, enjoyed even a
nickname, "The Larks" (Alanda). The
men, if we are to believe Vegetius, Suf
fering from the same weaknesses, could
be raised by the same means to the same
excellence as the veterans of the penin
sula war, As to the lighter moods of
the Roman legionary, are they not im
mortalized in the name of a Roman
emperor?
Tacitus tell ns how Germanicus, al
ways a popular general, having had a
son born to him in the camp, dressed
the lad like a little soldier, complete
even to bis boots (caliga), in the hope
of pleasing bis men. The men of course
made a pet of him and called him Cali
gula, or Little Boots, and it is by bis
camp nickname of Little Boots that
Claudius, son of Germanicus, lives in
history to this day. It is a curious ex
ample of the persistence in the nature of
fighting men. Cochrane's rough Chil
ean sailors dressed nphis 5-year-old son
as a tiny midshipman and made a pet
of him in the same way. Macmillan's

NERVOUSNESS.
THE CLASSES OF PEOPLE WHO
SUFFER FROM IT.
Brala Workers, People Who Worry,
and Peoplo Who Knduro Long
. Continued Physical Strain.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.
It is generally agreed that a man's
physical condition is dependent, to a
great degree, upon the nature of his
employment Men whose occupations
necessitate the oonstant use of the brain,
without any opportunity for physical
exeroiBe, are generally nervous, while
men employed at manual labor requir
ing no exercise of the brain funotion,
are almost universally possessed of
sound nervous systems, not easily dis
turbed by exoiting events.
A striking illustration of this prin
ciple is found in the case of Professor
George E. Coleman, who is a profes
sional pianist, and who was, until with
in recent years, a druggist Professor
Coleman Uvea at 1330 Buchanan street,
San Franoisoo. He is well known
here as a pianist, having played at
some of the most popular musio halls in
the city. Mr. Coleman is not a man
of strong frame, and he has been an
easy prey to the severe, nervous tension
of his work at the piano. He has had
to play continuously for several hours
during every evening for five years,
and ms nervous system finally gave
way under the strain. He was forced
to retire from regular work at the
piano, but that did not have the effect
of improving his condition. Upon
the contrary, he steadily grew worse.
His nerves had been shattered, and in
addition he discovered that one ot bis
lungs had been affected by his having
been exposed to oounter draughts in
poorly ventilated halls. His condition
soon became suoh that he was confined
to his home, and finally gave himself
over to the oare of a physician. Mr.
Coleman's experience as a druggist had
given him an acquaintance with dis
eases and their remedies, so he had a
fnll knowledge of just what was neces
sary on his part to effect a oure.
"After several weeks' careful treat
ment by the physician," said Mr. Cole
man; "I could notice no improvement
in my oondition. If anything, I think
I was considerably worse. ' The aotion
of my lungs had become so weak that
I was afraid to walk any distance un
assisted for fear of falling, through loss
of respiration. My nervousness had
advanced to an alarming stage. I was
not able to contain myself for even i
short time, but had always to be turn
niing with something or moving ner
vously about the room. It was while
I was in this oondition that 1 noticed
in a paper an article on Williams' Fink
Pills. I determined to try them, even
though they killed me. Well, they
didn't kill me, bnt I'm not going to
tell you that they cured me immedi
ately, my case was much too serious
for that. But I had not taken a full
box before I felt a great relief. My
respiration was more certain, I was
gradually gaining oontrol of my nerves
and my oondition was generally im
proved. I kept right on taking the
pilla and getting well. Now I had
taken just three boxes of them when I
considered myself a cured man. And
I was right, for although I quit taking
the pills, I did not relapse into my for
mer condition, but grew stronger
daily.
"It was truly a marvelous oure, and
I will say that I think Williams' Pills
possess remarkable curative properties,
and I would recommend them to the
use of the thousands of people of this
city who are nervous wrecks, or who
are suffering from diseases of the lungs"

Mimas Dress -
Tt.. At of any period is always a
matter of interest to women and to wise f
philosophers. The Milnnedrss of this
period, before French fashions invaded
it, was fearfully ana woiiarriiwv hmhio
and weighty to wear. The women robed
themselves in brocades and silks so solid
and substantial that a drew would limt a
lifetime and sometimes ntwuena ir.nn
mother to daughter. 8nch also were tho
coats and waistcoat of the sterner g,u
who strutted about iu their unbuilding""
garments like so many hogs in armor.
Consistently with this style of dnvs
the hair of both sexes underwent tho
most elaborate treatment at lliehuuds of
the artist thereunto addicted, an archi
tect iu his way, who delighted to build
the lofty pile of Nestles tier above tir
aspiring to the skit-s. Then came the
powdering, an art by itself, perfected
by a Renins of the ago, who di'vimx!
what may be called, without figure of
speech, the powdming chamber, from
whose perforated ceiling tho powder Ml
like snow frdin the heavens. Every well
appoluted mansion had its powdering
room. .The lmtiont, reloaded at length
from the huuds of the hairdresser, en
tered tho room, wrapped from neck to
foot iu an ample sheet. The iionry
shower began to full, and within a fmv
minutes the patient emerged, half
choked, but beautiful to bohold as a
oabbage covered with hoar frost ami
not a hair disarranged upon his aacred
head. Macmillan's Magasiue.
Tricks In All Trades.
"The prices of bicycles, according to
(he juanofaoturors' lists, nave not di
minished much," said a New Yorker
who is up in the secrets of the trade,
'but rldeis in New York are getting
wheels a good deal cheaper by meuus of
SU ingenious system rcvtmiiy nuuiiuxi
by retail dealers. You know each deal
er in bicycles signs an agreement not to
sell a new machine below the figures
marked on the price list Well, in Uoth
im this agreement is rigidly adhered to
in its letter, but knocked galley went
when it oomcs to its iuteution. The
scheme is simply this: When a person
enters a blcycte dealer's establishment
in search of a wheel, he is howu the
collection. He asks the prices, and is
told that this make Is $100, that one
110, the other $120 and so on. If he
demurs at the price, as he is pretty apt
to, the dealer tells him that If he will
come again next auy mere may oe a
good secondhand wheel in at a lower
price.
The visitor leaves, and men tne dow
er puts the bicycle that most united his
fancy on the rout list ana mres it om
to the first one wbo calls for a machine
by the hour. When the inquirer culls
again, be is shown the same wheel tlmt
he wanted the day before, but the price
Is only $0S. The two or three hours nun
a hired wheel bus made it a second
hand article. Thin trick is being univer
sally played in New York, and I reckon
dealers in Washington and elsewhere
will get on to it In pott" of time. "
Bow Tennyson A.ked For an Apple,
Mr. Sherrnrd adds that his father

boy he once met Tennyson at a dinner
party, and that he was very frightened
at his appearance. "Tcuuysou was at
that time very sallow- almost yellow
and had long bluck huir. At dessert
the poet bent across tho tublo and ad
dressed my futhcr, in front of whom
was placed a (linli of fruit, and fiiicl,
'Evolve me an apple. ' 'I did not know
what he wanted me to do,' suid my fu
