MYTHS OF HISTORY.
THEY CUT A WIDE SWATH IN THE
FANCY OF NOVELISTS.
Pm Pictures of the Faat That Rsad Well,
but l>o Net Bear Clvae 1 uteatigat’ou
When Our Turn Cornea, the Merit»«*« Will
Ke»el lu Schemes Vntlrranied of Now.
Whilo it tuny not be quite true, it if
Very nearly true that the lnaturical novo)
i. entertaining entirely oo account of iti
improbabilities. We poasoas a amuttar
lug of general lnfcrniatiou. At least wt
to flatter ourselves. History is for ui
not quite a closed book. We know Cweai
and Hannibal and Napoleon and Olivet
Cromwell and Henri yuatre and Riche
lieu and the Man in the Iron Mask,
perhaps even a few others. And whet
in company with the hero of the his
torical novel we are ushered into th«
royal presence, we bow and smirk and
grimace amazingly and knowingly.
‘‘Charles I? Certainly. His majesty and
we are old friends. We posaeaa secrets
which his majesty would give his crown
and kingdom to know. M Posterity has
confided to us stories that would cause
his majesty’s royal hairs to stand on end
like quills upon the fretful porcupine.
Don’t try to gull us with appearances.
We know all about what's coming. The
gracious smile which now illumines bis
majesty’s kingly lips is, oh, so drolll
How about Whitehall and the block and
the ax? Ha, ha! We are delighted to see
his majesty in such excellent spirits. ”
It is to this faculty of making the
reader feel knowing, of impressing upon
him his own superiority and the correct
ness of his own retrospective surmises
and decisions, that the makers of his
torical romance owe in a great part their
vogue and popularity. Then out at the
elbows soldiers of fortune—nay, even
the wine drawers, the innkeepers and
the scullery maids whom we meet in the
historical romance—somehow manage
to plot and scheme and hobnob with the
very greatest personages of all times. If
a mysterious figure is introduced, of
course there is a great personality be
hind it The exigencies of the trade
make thia imperative. From a muffled
cloak we will accept a great duke with
fairly becoming grace. A disguised voioe
and steal thy, overcautious demeanor de
maud a king or a hero who, in his
tory's pages, looms up as mighty or
mightier than a king.
Wonder might justly be expressed
that a simple soldier of fortune of the
Quentin Durward, D'Artagnan ilk
should be of such supreme importance to
the welfare of nations and the Bafety of
kings To deny either the Scot or the
Gascon would surely tie outright heresy.
They embody old Caledonia and old
France—as we see them. But the col
lective possibilities that are necessary to
give tlie historical romance tire and go,
make in the end it must be acknowl
edged, a pretty strong chain of improb
abilities To thoroughly appreciate this
one would have to read the historical
romance that is to deal with our day
and to bo written 12 score years hence.
This, alas, we cannot do I What a
screaming farce it will be when it
comes! Will it not read like the ravings
of a madman? How ludicrous will bo
the complications! What ail extraordi
nary age our own will seem! But the
drollest feature of all will be the sub
lime gravity, the supreme sincerity with
which tlie whole w ill be accepted by
the reader of that future day. How is
it that, in an age like our own, when
there are a publisher and a market for
every literary conceit and absurdity, no
one has thought to anticipate this the
historical romance of the future. Surely
it would not be all bnrleaqua.
What marvelous things those scribes
w ill be telling of our age and civiliza
tion! What stiange and darkling events
will lie uuule to take place at our very
d'.irs! T>i mysteries that are to be
cleared up are as nothing to thoae which
are to be invented. Our nights and days
will be given over to tragic intrigue«
and fell deeds. Murder will stalk our
street«. Bworda will leap and cross,
knives will gleam, pistols will crack
along Broadwuy, or. if we prefer, Re
gent street, or the Ringstriuw, or UDter
den Linden, or the Boulevard dm (Japu-
ciiie«. The gnet a peurwill be supreme.
All this will come to pass when the
srnbes of the tweuty-Beoond century sit
down to the task of writing their his
torical novels. And then—other heroes.
H< w mum they are keeping theuiselvesl
Why don’t they come out of the dark
ness and rnysti-ry ami shadow and amuse
the age with the narrative of those thrill
ing and soul stirring adventur«« with
which the romancers of the future will
credit them? We know that when the
arbitration question la settled and both
the United Btates and England are freed
from the possibilities of a hideous and
devastating war, it is not her majesty,
the queen of Great Britain and «mpress
of India, or tlie president, or the prime
minister, or the secretary of statu, who
brought it about. Gh, no! That might
do very well to gull and beguile and ca
jole tlie poor, ignorant mas* « The real
power behind the throne u> the impov
erished soldier of fortune, of whom the
romance of the historical novelist« of
the future will tell us. What nets he
will spread! What strange and unholy
influences he will bring to bear! What
ingenuity, cunning, valor, patience,
will ho employ lx fore the gn at scheme
is consummated and histury is made!
What dangers he will encounter! What
fearful odds he will overeomet We know
he Is here. Gould wa doubt the histor
leal romance of tlie future? We see the
result, we reap it« benefit, but the cause,
the ooloasal nobody whose machinations j
brought it all about, whore is be? Let
him stand forth that the age may do
him hmor!—New York Advertiser.
THE ARTIST A PROPHET.
So Suggr»t««l the Director of the Metro-
polituu Museum of Art.
It is uot merely «he priv«t« collectors
who are practiced on by the trafficker,
in bogus * ‘old masters. ” Sometimes
they fly higher und sometimes they may
be deceived themselves. In the latter
class, perhap«, was the woman who
vr de to General di C-esnola, director of
flu MetTOjs Etan Museum of Art, with
the informato n that ahe owned a treaa
ere which she wished to realize upon at
cuce and would dispose of at a sacrifica.
Thia treasure, she said, was a celebrated
pe.uiting of St. Michael carving the
dragon, according to the legend of the
early Christian church. It was a very
old subject, but the canvas was in a
ges-d state of preservation. Her great
grandfather had dug it out of the ruins
of Herculaneum.
General di Ccanola at once dictated a
reply, in which he said in substance:
“Madam, if the facts are as you state,
you are holding the painting at too low
a figure. It is worth millious if it is
worth a cent. Herculaneum has (men
lying under the lava of Vesuvius for
2,000 year«. That the canvas should
have escaped destruction when the
mountain poured forth its firry contents
on tlie towns at its base is indeed re
markable; that it has further resisted
the disintegrating hand of time is no
less remarkable; that tlie artist should
have show n a spirit of prophecy ami de
lineated an incident of the Christian re
ligion long before it happened is more
than remarkable. It is miraculous You
should keep the St. Michael!''
In a day or so the director received s
second letter from the woman. It ran
thus: “If the picture is really so valu
able, I don't see why you won’t take it
at $f>00. ”—New York Mail and Ex
press.
SHE HANGED A STOVE.
Th. Woman W«. Arreted. However, Koi
Trying to Kill Her 1 lu*band.
To intend to hang one's husband and
ta find instead of a body a «tove at the
other end of the rope is oalcnlated most
certainly to Huqirise the would be mur
den r, and to such surprise, in a case re
lated by a French paper, must be added
the unpleasant fact that the woman who
hanged the stove was arrested on the
charge of attempted assassination.
She disliked her husband, who had an
unfortunate propensity for strong drink,
and, on his returning home one evening
intoxicated, resolved ta kill him in such
a manner as to suggest that he had com
mitted suicide. The inan went to bed in
his tipsy condition and was soon sleep
ing soundly.
His amiable partner
thought this to I mi the favorable mo
ment for dispatching him to another
world, and accordingly set about mak
ing her arrangements.
In the ceiling, just above the bed,
there was a hole capable of allowing a
stout rope to pass. The woman went up
into the room above, lot a rope slip,
through the hole, and, returning to Uiv
chamber in which her husband slept, at
tached it by a slip knot round bis neck.
This done, she went up stairs again,
drew the ropo tight through the hole in
the ceiling und attached it to a b««am.
Then, when she believed the job had
been done, she rushed, weeping, into
the street, tolling the neightxirs that her
husband had just committed suicide. On
entering the house, what, however, was
their surprise to find a portable stove in
the place of a corpse! The husband, who
was less drunk than his wife imagined,
had released himself and substituted the
stove in the nick of time.
Blryrle In African War.
One would scarcely expect to find bi-
cycleM and u bicycle club in the heart of
Africa and 600 miles from any railroad.
One club in Bulawayo, Matabtleland,
South Africa, is in a flourishing condi
tion. having 26 membcni out of a popu
lation of 2,500.
During the lat« war in Matals lehtnd
th»*s» bicyclers all rendered valuable
service to the English. By them scouts
were often able to “locate the enemy’’
or to deliver a message where a man on
horseback would not have dared to go,
for a Kaffir ran outrun a horse every
time—Unit is, such horses as they have
in Africa.
In one instane« a bicyalcr put to rout
a whole imp! (a camp) of Kaffirs, who
evidently never had seen a bicycle be
fore, and thia man, who came nearer to
the camp than he had had any int» ntion
of doing, and who was much alarmed
for his own saf' ty when he realized
w here hr was, txxjk heart again when
he saw these Kaffirs throw up their
hands as if in consternation, and, utter
mg savage* aounds and noises, jump to
th' ir feet and run for thrir lives. They
evidently thought the flevil was after
th» in.—New York Press.

uiatle any effort to enforce the rule. Ev
ery car on the Madison avenue line has
signs painted on the doors which give
onlera to keep the front door do«» d, but
nobody thinks of paying any attention
to the sign, and it seems to those peo

front door is used more on the Madison
avenue line than on any other.
In the waiting rooms of the various
railway stations the signs by which it is

by men continually if the employe»«
did not call attention to the sign.
At most places where people bny
tickets, in luniks where there are crowds
of depositors or people who wish to
draw funds from the institution, there
are signs show ing on which side the line

any of the larger of these places when
some people do not juake desperate ef

THE SLIDING POLE.
Very liMiidy to I'ae doing Down, but th«
Stair« Still Feed doing l’p.
Firemen u*' the sliding poles in th<>
engine bouses when descending from th«
dormitory floors to the street flcxir about
their ordinary affairs jnst ns they de
when hustling down for a tire. It is tin*
quickest und easiest way to go, and nat
urally they go that way always. To >i
man not u fireman, however, and so un
accustonnd to it, th«< commonplace use
of the sliding pole s«*vms at first strange.
Ho has seen it usually, perhajw only,
from below, and the use of it is iUMOoi-
atod in his mind with the sound of the
gong, the pounding of the horses’ hoofs,
the snapping of harness and the generul
bustle of preparation. To see the fireman
come dropping down the sliding poles
into this scene of activity noma all
right. It s«<cms like a part of the gen
eral scheme. But if one who has bean
accustomed only to str ing them come
down th«* poles in this way should hap
pen at a time of quiet in the house to be
on an upp« r floor, and instead of seeing
firemen hiioot into view* should see one
suddenly and silently disapjiear, that
sight probably would at first be surpriN
ing to him.
At first it seems strung«» to s«n* any
inuii, fir<man or not, slide down a polo
to start for his dinner, for instance, but
that is what the fireman does, and it is
just the same if h«t is going below for
any duty in the bouse. He goes down
tlie pole habitually because that is the
simplest and easiest way to go. But he
doesn't go back that way. Easy as it is
to slide down the pole, it would Is»1
mighty hard work to shin up it Wh« n
the fireman go« s up, then, like every
body els«« ho dim Is* the stairs.—Now'

Th«* American editions of many Eng

in the careers of the writors, and to ig
nore them is to ignore most potent fac
tors in their lives. Th«* publication of
'the ‘ * Yellow plush Correspondence” in
. Philadelphia was followed by th««
I “Comic Tales and Sketches,” and the
success of the American book was the
influence that induced th«« London pub
lisher to assume the risk. In the same
way the miscellanies collected from
original sources and published in 12 vol
umes by the Appletons in N«*w York in
1862 and 1853 induced th'* publication
of the miscellanies in London in 1855 to

An unfailing cure for all diseases that

It
cures digestive disorders, restores the appe

cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consump

Thousands have testified to these
facts. Druggists who suggest substitute»
are dishonest.
