tf -lU'ivd or -eetilttt notoriety, lmvc. in
mo-t periods of tho world' history,
been o i-norly and oonstantly elu-r-ishi'd
f lmt Ihf desire to poes them
h:v eoine to xs reirdod. like error in
our Ihv-t Latin books, as natural to nmn.
In England tliis view of any memento
of greatness wliieh can by any possi
bility 1)0 deemed a relie .-till eontitutes
in foree. A manttseript poem of lixron
or Hiirns will feteli .some 200. Ar
ticles of furniture, from an arni-ulnir
.lown to r. paper-knife, poes what
Henthum lias called "a value of all'ec
tion," compounded in various decrees
of the personality of their departed
owner and tliu pious or literary proclivi
ties of tlie!r purchaser. Locks of hair
which can be guaranteed to have grown
on tiie head either of Napoleon or of
Wellington are Mill extant in givat
numbers and are highly prized by their
possessors. Kven the living come in
by anticipation for their share in (A)
general demand, autographs in par
ticular being largely esteemed. Multi
plicity of correspondence is supposed
to have caused a slight depreciation
in tho market value of our present pre
mier's signature, but ho is still well to
to the front, and probably has no
really dangerous rival except the poet
laureate. Americans, like all true, dem
ocrats, are noted for the dilettante in
terest which they bestow on everything
which may remotely lie regarded as
a relic, and the countless American ad
mirers of Lord Tennyson are said to be
remarkably persistent in their eilbrts to
draw the most retiring of men. One
day it is a schoolboy from Maryland,
another a young lady from New York,
but tho request is - always to the same
ell'ect to- it, that tho desire to pos
sess tlie handwriting of a man who lias
contributed to their pleasure or stirred
their feelings. Tho memoirs of Long
follow show a precisely similar statu of
all'airs, and had that amiable poet re
sponded to every invitation for an orig
inal poem which reached him ftom un
known correspondents in till parts of
the world it is probable that his works
would have been materially increased
in bulk, if not in quality. It does not
seem to matter in tho least what the
object may be, or what tho part played
by the great person may be, so that
there is some connection between them.
Failing things of more direct interest,
in England we ga.o respectfully at the
chair once occupied by a prince, while
in America they exhibit with the great
est success anything from the bones of
.Jumbototlioiincientnur.se of a presi
dent. It would appear, however, that a
distinct depreciation of relics is now go
ing on in Germany which forms a
marked contrast to the practico among
the English speaking races. Last week
there was a sale of relics which had
once belonged to men no less renowned
than (Joetho anil Schiller. Rut the peo
ple of Berlin entirely refu-cd to rise to
tho occasion, and this, too, notwith
standing they already had u character
which required vindication, inasmuch
as they failed only a year ago to ex
hibit tho smallest enthusiasm even
about tho fate of Rlucher's sword. Jt
wa3, perhaps, felt, in spite of the mil
itary character of tho German nation,
or rather, perhaps, because of more re
cent successes, that the memory of tho
man who claimed leaves from the
lavrels of Wellington was becoming
dim wllli age. Hut this optimist view
of tho case was destined to receive a
rude shock. Goethe is almost the
Shakspeare of Germany, and, accord
ing to all precedent, there should have
been a. desperate pecuniary struggle
for anything which had belonged to
him. So far from this being the case,
his signet ring only .fetched tho micros
copic sum of CO shillings, while the
splendid chased silver cup present
ed to him by a grand duke, and
representing a boar-hunt, was
sold for even less, which must
have been greatly beneath its in
trinsic worth. Schiller did not receive
treatment a whit more respectful, and
a gold locket containing ills hair witli
that of Lottio fell under tho hammer
for 18 shillings. To many peoplo a
proceeding like this will indicate a rev
olution as complete, if loss disastrous,
than u Belgian riot. It all depends, in
fact, on whether tho auction was
properly advertised, which is to say tho
leant aprosaio reflection. If Berlin was
really aware of the treasures which
were being oil tired to it, and was too in
difTuront to indulge in a brisk competi
tion, it seems clear that there is one
country at least in which tho interest
ing and remunerative industry of relio
tuongering Is practically at an end.

tion of liuie. Lvcn the carriage of
Nupo'.e iii and ti e wreath of Mr. Tracy
Turned may fail in time to attract the
youth of the world. .liouhl this wae of
inililVerenee sweep across the channel.
In face of such feeling it is certainly in
teresting, if it be not very important,
to trace the change of a sentiment so
universal, and around which so many
fragments of literary, political, anil
military history aro collected.
It may In, of course, that, as the
world grows older and the number of
claimants to this kind of immortality
increases, there is a general weaken
ing and dill'usion of tho feelings which
attract men to the relics of the great.
Mark Twain, with all tho emotional
qualities which lurk under his humor,
must perhaps be reckoned as one of the
foremost foes of the relic hunter, and
certainly a prolonged inspection of tho
same relic in dillercnt cities must have
been distinctly iudueivn to a rational
istic view of the subject. It is not
given to everyone to possess the happy
confidence of the ollicial who admitted
that there were extant several well au
thenticated skulls of Oliver Cromwell,
but ndded that his was (lie protector's
as a boy. Another source of confusion
to the relie monger ltas been the enor
mous number of Queen Elizabeth's bed
steads which are to bo found scattered
up and down the country, cither in
their original shape or converted into
chairs ami sideboards. It was once
sorrowfully calculatgd by an enthusiast
about relics that Elizabuth must have
on an average occupied a different bed
every night of her reign, unless several
of the most seemingly genuine were to
be sacrificed as hopelessly spurious.
Rut tho unlimited opening for deceit
which is nlforded by tho difficulty of
detecting it in these matters
has never by itself been sulll
cient to warn the relic hunter
from his absorbing occupation. It is
probable that a great many more peo
plo have been disillusioned by triviality
than by fraud. Men have been too
anxious in the production not only of
relics, but of every kind of association
which involves a great name, it is
not many years since tho public were
amused ami surprised by a small clique
who raised the cry about the proposed
restoration of Ilawortli church. The
names of Charlotte Hronjlo and her fam
ily must always ha held m alfectionate
esteem by every lover of English liter
lure. Rut it was dillicult at a moment's
notice to conceive an enthusiasm for
the pew which she happened to occupy.
Vet had it been the complete anil long
destroyed shnuo of Thomas a' Rockett,
oneo so famous throughout Christen
dom, it would have been impossible to
make more disturbance. It is tlh'same
with tlie traveler to the lakes, who can
not walk half a mile without being pull
ed up to see a seat where Wordsworth
fell asleep or a tree where Coleridge
stopped during a shower. If men had
been content to treat the memories and
tlie properties of tlie great alike with
something more akin to reverence, it is
impossible that we should liud the gen
eral impulses which prompt posterity
gradually becoming duller as lime
passes. Relics and mementoes have
been made a drug in the market, nnd
so it happens that even the ring of
Goethe and the locket of Schiller liud
small appreciation. London Moriiiiu

Tho Proper Weight of Man.
Prof. I Invloy asserts that the proper
weight of man is 16-1 pounds, made up
us follows: Muscles and their appurte
nances, 08 pounds; skeleton, 21 pounds;
skin, 10 pounds; fut, 28 pounds; brain,
ii pounds; tliroacic viscera, S pounds;
abdominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood
which would drain from the body, 7
pounds. The heart of such u man
should beat lb times a minute, and ho
should brCAtho I.'i times it minute. In
twenty-four hours ho would vitiate
1,750 cubiofeet of puro air to tho extent
of 1 per cent. A man, therefore, of
weight mentioned should have 800 cubic
feet of well ventilated space. Ho would
throw oil' by the skin IB ounces of
water, 300 grains of solid mnttur, and
400 grains of carbonic acid every twenty-four
hours; ami his total loss during
that period would be. six pounds of wa
ter and a liltlo more- than two pounds
of other matter.
Why tho Irish Like Green.
Some old Greek tr.tdUion 'toll lion
Kadnnts, a miglitv leader atid'a vin
wise man in all the arts and sciences
came over from Asia and taught l'it
Ru-otians letters, in Plucnieian th
word Kadnius moans the east-man,
while the word Europe, which gradual
ly was applied to a ast extent of land
a continent, at lirst belonged only tt
the land just across from the iland o'
Eubiea, on the other side of tlie nar
row .straight called Kuripus, and mean,
in Phienician the west-land. So when
you read of ICadmus coming to Europe
it is the east-man coming to the west
laud. Over and over again in history
we lind names, to which all sorts o'
fanciful derivations have been giver
and beautiful legends and myths have
been attached, turning out to be the
.simplest kind of words. Thus, Irclanc
also means the wc?t-land, and it conies
from tho Celtic word iur and our wore
land, ittr meaning tho west. Iur, be
fore being used to denoto the west,
meant tho back, and that fact lets us
into an important secret coucern'mp
t he religion of tlie Colts who lirst canu
over the Irish sea to the Emcralc
island. It tells us that thoje early men
named the points of the compass ac
cording to tho other directions wlicc
the observer faced toward tho cast. Sc
the cast was named from front, or for
ward, tiie west from back or behind,
the north from left hand, :inil the sotitl'
from right hand. That means thai
the early Celts worshiped tho dawn
and tho sunrise. And so faithfully hive
tho old traditions remained in men's
minds in that, big western island of the
British empire that, to this day, the
emblem on the coat of arms of Irclanu
is a sunburst, cr rising sun.
Another curious thing is that it is
more than probable that the Irish pre
ference of the color green,, for thcit
ilags and their sashes, arosu from a
mistake among those who had lost a
thorough knowledge of the old Irish
language. Tho sun, in Irish, is called
by a word pronounced like our word
"green;" and is likely that the Irish
fondness for that color arose from the
word's exact likeness in sound to their
word for tho sun. In the same way,
when wo talk about greenhouses, we
think they aro called so because the
plants are kept green, in them during
tlie winter. Yet it is far more proba
ble that "green" hero is tho Irish word
meaning, not tho color, but tlie sun'
because greenhouses are built so as to
catch the sun's rays ami store them up
while it is hidden by clouds, us happens
more than half tho time in showery
Ireland. St. Nicholas.
