The Sin of Worldly Pleasure In the Seventeenth Century. Buckle gfes a graphic picture of the attitude of the kirk of Scotland to worldly pleasures during the seven teenth century. Cheerfulness, especial ly when it rose to laughter, was to be jruarded against Smiling might occa sionally be allowed: still, being a car nal pastime, it was a sin to smile on Sunday. No husband should kiss his wife and no mother her child on the Sabbath day. Jesting was incompati ble with a holy and serious life. The ministers were given much to weep ing, groaning and lamentations. One, the Rev. Alexander Dunlop, was noted lor his "holy groan." To engage in the frivolous art of writing poems was condemned. Men should not disport themselves with music; dancing was a "serious sin;" joyousness even at a christening was a scandal. One should speak and walk with gravity and so lemnity; he should not enjoy his din ner; enly the ungodly relished food. The great object of life was to be In a Etate of affliction. Whatever pleased the senses was to suspected. Whatever was natural was wrong. The church men grew sour in countenance, harsh 3u voice. Joy and love disappeared or were forced to hide in obscure corners. XtJS3XM3imtCf Biles. "What sort of time do you expect to hare during the social season?" "Fine," answered Mr. Cumrox.

The system of atoning for death or bodily injuries inflicted on others by paying damages is as old as the earli est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus. The trespasser was always required to make peace with the aggrieved family of the victim by "Wer-Geld." "Wer" Is the ancient German for man. "Geld," now, as in the days of Wotan, means money. Damages were assessed in accord ance with the rank and wealth of the injured party, and the money was paid over in the presence of the whole community, its acceptance forestalling feuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer Geld ("money for the man" killed) by law precluded further bloodshed or other forms of revenge. If the slayer wns not rich enough to pay the required sum, he turned over to the injured parties his sons as slaves. If his sons were not sufficient guarantee for the payment of the debt, the slayer himself had to turn bondsman, both the letter and the spirit of the law requiring that the full amount of damage inflicted be recovered by the aggrieved parties.

Early Habits That Domestication Have Not Eradicated. A curious question in evolution was once put to a scientist prominent in the service of the government. "Why is It." some one asked, "that horses shy and donkeys do not V" The answer was to the following ef fect: The ancestors of the horse were ac customed to roam over the plains, where every tuft of grass or bush might conceal an enemy waiting ir ambush. In these circumstances the must have thno and again saved the' lives by quickly starting back or else suddenly jumping to one side who without warning some strange object appeared to them. Tin habit must have indeed been a strong one, seeint that so many years of domestication have not eradicated it. On the other hand, the donkey is de scended from animals that lived among the hills, with the usual precipices and dangerous declivities, and from these conditions, it would appear, there re sulted its slowness and sure footedness. The donkey's ancestors were not, then, so liable to sudden attacks from wild beasts and snakes. Moreover, sudden and wild starts would have been pos itively dangerous to the donkey's for bears. Consequently they learned to avoid the characteristic trick of the horse. The habit of eating thistles, pe culiar to the donkey, seems also to have been inherited from its ancestors. In the dry, barren localities they in habited there was often very little food; therefore they learned to eat the hard, dry and even prickly plants and undergrowth when nothing else pre sented itself New York Tribune. THE MONTEREY CYPRESS. Found In' Its Wild State In Only Two Spots In the World. One of the most interesting ind pic turesque trees in the world, as well as one of the most ancient, is the Cupres sus inacracarps, or Monterey cypress. Its native habitat is extremely restrict ed, for it is found in its wild state in only two spots in the whole wide world on the edge of a grove of conifers stretching for a few miles between the bay of Monterey and the bay of Carmel (the latter of which bears a striking resemblance in outline and color to Its prototype in the Floly Land) and in a similar spot near Pescadero, a little town lying on the coast between Monterey and San Francisco. The Monterey grove consists of only a dor en or two cypresses of large size and most striking appearance. Their trunks are massive and wrinkled with hoary age, while their boughs, gnarled and twisted, grow chiefly on one side away from the stormy winds that have buf feted them for thousands of years. The noble trees are limited to the rocky wind beaten shore, on which some of them have but n precarious ,iotd. Hemmed between the slowly encroach ing ocean on one hand and a pine for est on the other, their future Is ex posed to great hazard. It is therefore gratifying to observe that a fair num ber of thrifty young cypresses are holding their own against the pines for a short distance inland. Scientific American. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God. and I request, there fore, that my mortal remains be con veyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where 1 request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid out In state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace and free from the vanities and pomp of this world." London Home Notes. Ancient Egyptian Stone. Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. They regarded the beetle as an em blem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of aH forms of or nament. Counterfeit beetles of com mon stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and It was custom ary to engrave upon them the expres sion of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various hieroglyphs. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. An other, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. The Proper Instinct. "Birdset seems to have the proper in-, stlncts for a married man."

How Modern "rvistt Make a New Painting an Antique. Europe Is full of artists who, as far as line and color go, can turn ad mirable copies of . anything. These copies are made on old canvases mounted on a framework of old wood, and when I'm paint Is dry the picture !:j pur through an ingenious aging process. A certain hind of varnish gives a ripe golden tune, and deepen ing of shadows, with a suggestion of the soli of ceiitui'leii, hi hid by the smearing of lieorh e jr.I ;e. As for the cracked paint surface sure sign of age that Ii obtained by baking the picture carefully l.i an oven or by lnylng a plaque of metal on the can vas and (striking it gently with a ham mer. Worm holes i'.i frame or panels are merely a mat ter of tin;1 shot fired in and afterward picked out. And fly specks to deceive tho flics them selves may bo had by ths judicious spatter of India ink. No doubt to the sure connoisseur there is something hard and cold about the copies, something vaguely unsatis fying, but no one can deny "that they are enormously like the originals so much like them that the great mu seums of Europe, nil unsuspecting, have hung their walls with these mel low masterpieces of yesterday. It is said, for instance, that Rembrandt's portrait of Sobleski In tho Louvre is not the original at nil, but only a copy, the original being in Russia. Cleveland Moffett in Success. ANOTHER WORLD. This Charming Bit of Philosophy Points tho Road to It. I live in two worlds one in which I must consider the weather and clothes and meals and bills coming due and a host of duties and obligations, some of which weary me. It isn't really a bad world, and I haven't much ground to complain of it. It is comparatively a poor world, however, when set against that other world into which I retire with every opportunity the glorious, free and perfect world of my imagina tion. The common world, the world of meals and clothes and weather, I share with everybody. No preference or spe cial consideration Is given to me. I often get a kick or a cuff that I de spise, even though I know that I earn ed it. But the other world is all my own. I am Its creator, king and mas ter. Nothing happens in it that does not please me; nothing exists without my consent. It revolves around me. I am its sun and center; all else is sub ordinate. There is no order, system or law In it that gives me the slightest trouble, for I alter, change or abolish these at my pleasure. Of course I es cape whenever I can from the common everyday world in which I am so In significant into the world which is wholly my own. Orlando Jay Smith. The Journey. A little work, a little sweating, a few brief, flying years; a little joy, a little fretting, some smiles and then some teurs; a little resting In the shad ow, a struggle to the height, a futile search for Eldorado and then we say good night. Some moiling in the strife and clangor; some years in doubt and debt; some words we spoke in foolish anger that we would fain forget; some cheery words we said unthinking that made a sad heart light; the banquet, with its feast and drinking-and then we say good night. Some questioning of creeds and theories and Judgment of the dead, while God, who never sleeps or wearies, is watching over head; some little laughing and some sighing; some sorrow, some delight; a little music for the dying and then we say good night. Walt Mason In Em poria Gazette. 8yringe Bearing Firemen. A studious fireman looked up from his book. "In place of all these here electric engines, automatic chutes and so on," he said, "the only instrument they had to fight fire with In the seventeenth century was the syringe. Under the roof of every building that they thought worth saving like cathedrals and such there were big.tanks to catch the rainwater, and beside each tank hung a syringe a yard long. Then when a fire came squirt, squirt, they went with their syringes, and the building quickly burned down to the ground." New Orleans Times-Democrat. One on the Court Jester. Timon of Athens had just boon mar ried. As he wafted down tho aisle of the chapel with his bride the court jester cried: "Walt, Timon. I would have n word with you." The misanthrope turned.

Mr. Ward, the American envoy to China, who tried to secure an inter view with tho emperor, Ilieng Fung. In 1859, tells how he was entertained at dinner that lasted from noon one day until G o'clock on the evening of the day following. The total number of courses is not given, but Ward men tions that he had to give in after par taking of 13S different dishes, "where upon his hosts wondered greatly" pre sumably at his abstemiousness. rrobnbly, however, the Eskimo ban quets last longer than any others and the quantity of food swallowed is also proportionately greater. Ross records that seven of his party of natives once ate continuously for thirty-three hours, during which time they consumed 200 pounds of eeal meat. Europeans ex posed to the same climatic conditions act in much the same way. Captain Scott of the Discovery on his return from his long sledge Journey over the inland ice of the antarctic continent did nothing but eat and sleep for the space of three days and nights, and even then he was still hungry. Commander Teary and his party, re turning famished from their futile dash for the pole in 100(5, slaughtered a herd of seven musk oxen on Ilazen island, off the extreme north of Green land. For two days and nights "there after they crouched inside their snow huts, eating continuously, and when they had finished the pile of bones outside was "as high as a tall man's chin." FREAKS OF FOOD. Queer Effects That Are a Puzzle to the Physician. As regards drink, writes Dr. Beverly Robinson in the Medical Record, I have known a tumblerful of milk to bring on an attack of asthma with hives in an otherwise healthy child. When the milk was taken and a piece of bread eaten at the same time there was no asthma and no hives. I could explain this by saying that the bread helped break up curd and that stomachal di gestion was not Interfered with. But why and precisely in what manner and for what reason asthma and' hives were occasioned are certainly matters largely of thought and conjecture. I have known mushrooms in good condi tion and on repeated occasions to cause most distressing oedema of the uvula and palate. Trior to these attacks the same Individual had eaten mushrooms repeatedly with no bad or unpleasant effects at all and had thoroughly en joyed them. I have known an Individ ual in whom a single strawberry would give neuralgia :f the tooth which last ed twelve to t wenty-fonr hours. Again, prior to the iittacks of neuralgia of the dental branches of tho fifth nerve the same individual had eaten repeat edly and abundantly of strawberries without pain, ache or unpleasant symp toms of r.ny kind. In this case It seemed as though the only plausible though imt entirely satisfactory expla nation was 'that with increasing years strawberries had become inimical to that naticnt. OAQTOniA.
