According to a writer ha the Stamp* «1 Turin, the inltan of Tar tar inakta that every ruler or po litical pereoaage ehould die a nat ural death. Other manner* of death era not “recognised” officially by NUchen Rftcndi, the censor. When King Humbert wee assassi nated at Monas, the Turkish now» papers announced this tad event In the following form: "King Humbert left tho hall amid the frantic cheer* of the peoplo. The king, much af fected, bowed several times and to all appearances was immediately dead.’' When the late ehah of Persia was .the Turkish paper* laid: "lutne afternoon the anah drove to his summer place and thero complained of illness. HU corpse was seat to Teheran." On* paper, however, excelled all the other* In “eimplifying" the pUc* of news by publishing thia absurdity: "The ehah felt a little 111, but finally hi* oorpae returned to the palace." This phrase was too much even lor the Turks, who have retained it to this day as one of their pro verba. Loyal ■teausiwe. Aa a sample of loyal eloquence tide effort by u Australian school master will Da hard to bMt: “King Edward is now sovereign over a continent, 100 peninsulas, 500 promontories, 100 lakes, >,000 rivers end 10,000 islands. “He waves his hand, end 900,000 warriors march to battle to conquer or die; ho bends hie heed, ana et tho signal 1,000 ship* of war end 100,000 sailors perform hie bidding on the ooaan. He walks upon the earth, end 900,000,000 human be ings fool the least premure of his foot. “The Assyrian empire was not so popnloas. The Persian empire was not bo powerful The Oerthaginlan empire was not so much dreaded. The Spanish empire was not so widely diffused. The Homan empire wee week in comparison, end Greece waa a small village.'* Hie VWtfet Card. A custom that has grown of late is printing on the beck of one’s vis iting card tho names of the clubs, lodges and chapters to which one. belongs. A day or two ego I had oooeekm to exchange cards with the manager of a rich corporation down town and on referring to it later found on the beck these testimoni als of merit: “Hew York lodge, 330, P.

In Finlead a novel form of vapor bath ban wmtly beeome popular.

Those who harm triad this method of bathing say that the eensatioa is quite novel and thet the sudden plunge into the sold water really, invigorates one. TIM Mum «r (Ha Wart*.

Aside from thia one sign, there is little to keep in one's mind th* an cient character of the quarter. Wide atrecta and, above all, Mol berry perk, on* of the most attrac tive breathing spots in the city, have driven out the wrotebednoee and crime of old, and when one goes to the Five Points now he finds himself in on* of the most cheerful neighborhood* on th* whole east aide. _ CtilntM Army Helm Mow that China has Russia for a osar neighbor, it remain* to b* aeen how raecmaMly or otherwise th* Middle Kingdom will oontinu* to practice its favorite gam* of bluff.

Turning to his companions, the farmer raid, "Do you think that this bird is worth so much money P* Before they ooald reply the raven croaked in a loud voice, “Of conn# I am This answer waa received with applause from the lookers on, and the farmer, thinking that the bird waa remarkably clever, bought At the doee of the day he took it home and, entering the houae, said to his wifa: *1 have brought you a bird in my pocket lot a present." His wifa said, “la it Spratly one?" The fanner replied, "If I am not mistaken, the bird will answer that question himself, for it is almost as sensible as a human being." So toying, he pulled it out, whan H croaked out, “Of course I am r This answer pleased the farmer’s wife very much at the time; but it waa not long baton they found out their mistake when the bird only uttered the same expression day by day. One evening as the farmer waa sitting down to supper he said to his wife, "That bird it a regular take in." The raven, hearing its master’s wall known voles, stretched out its black neck and exclaimed, “Ofcoum I ami" This sentence, uttered at ruck a happy moment, provoked a titter of laughter from the farmer sod his wife; and the good man, turning to word the cage, said; “You are per fectly right in your remark, my friend.

It 1a on record that a Flemish •dentist three centuries ego made ar experiment to determine if possi ble how a plant gains weight m growing. In s pot containing 200 pound* of earth he planted a willow branch weighing firs pounds. He kept the plant well watered and at the end of fire yean found it had gained in weight 104 pounds, while the earth in the pot had lost only two n annas Ha oonotaded, therefore, that the gain in weight was due solely to the water that he had supplied the plant with. But modem science has thrown light on this problem, as wall aa an many others that war* dark and tzn solrable centuries ago. We know now that a plant gam* in weight by reason of the oarbon that it absorbs from the air._ A Levina D*f.
