Wild Schemes of Dinocrates. The most remarkaole proposal ever made about Mount Athos was that of the architect Dinocrates. His plan was to cut it into tbe shape of a gi gantic statue of Alexander tbe Great, holding In tlie right hand a city, in the left a tank that was to receive all the waters of the region. Alexander was much taken with tbe scheme. But It was eventually rejected on the ground that the neighboring country was not fertile enough to feed tbe Inhabitants of the projected city. Another of Dlnoc- rates' plans was n temple to the wife of King Ptolemy of Egypt, with a roof of loadstones that would keep an Iron statue of her floating In the air. Ths Earth's Shadow.

Austin might almos.t be said to rival James McNeil Whistler as having giv en rise to humorous anecdotes—with tills difference, that while the anec dotes of Whistler exploited his wit or his superb arrogance (“Why lug In Velasquez?"» those of Austin were bas ed on little more than tbe fatuous self esteem which enabled him (If ability is the word) in 1870, in his volume of so called criticism, "Tbe Poetry of the Period.” to attack Tennyson.

It mis apparently not this book, but a later criticism written in 1885. which led Austin to boast of his friendship .with Swinburne and to declare that, though lie had been forced to criticise Swinburne, the latter had not permit ted it to disturb their relations. It proved that Austin's criticism bad at tracted so little attention that Swin burne had not even heard of it. and when, following Austin's boast, he took pains to read It be became very angry and would have nothing to do with Austiu. It was the same fatuity which led Austiu in his autobiography to adver tise his owu ultra respectability as compared with tbe possible “low tone" of others.

June Butter Fat ftj«, — DINING ON SHIPBOARD. Different Now From What It Wso Whin Dickons Visited Us. When Dickens came over to America some seventy odd years ago there was one large table in tbe dining room for the passengers. The first officer sat at the head, carving the turkey with all tbe grace be could command between lurches of the good ship, trusting to Providence that the gravy would not slop over. The passengers sent their plates along the line and waited for their helpings. Today the dining room of a large ship looks like the dining room of a fine hotel It is Just as exquisitely ap pointed and has every good thing to eat that can be found on laud. In fact, one of tbe new ships has a res taurant named after a famous one in New York, and the two keep in touch by wireless so that the menus, day by day. are the same. Think of having your dinner arranged by wireless— your macaroni by Marconi! The dining room is divided up into a number of small tables, so that you can have your own party, with only half a dozen of you, with your owu waiter, instead of sitting at a long ta ble and passing your plate, as Dickens did. Tbe development of the wonders of cold storage has done more than any other one thing to make life on tlie ocean wave one long round of Joy. Cold storage gives you tbe best In tbe world to eat and every day of the year. A world traveler was telling me the other day that he bad eaten grape fruit every morning all around tbe world. Tbe ship on which be sailed put in a Inrge amount of lee cream made In New York, and 110 days later, when he arrived in San Francisco, be was still eating New York ice cream.— Harold Christie in Leslie's.

I I I I I I In the old days, as now. the bride generally dressed In white. From early Saxon times down to the eighteenth century a bride of the poorer classes came to the wedding arrayed lu a plain white robe as a public warning that since she brought nothing to the mar riage her busband was not responsible for her debts. Brides soon began to add some little touch of color.
