When the tall girl found the mistress of the six room flat washing dishes she asked what had happened to Mary. "Mary has left" said the housekeep er. "I Insulted her yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and at 11 she packed her trunk and skipped. "We had a row over toothbrushes. Mary exhibited an unparalleled Interest In toothbrushes. Every brush she came to was taken up and turned over and over and commented on admiring ly or the reverse. "Finally she came to mine. I could see at once that she liked it " 'Whose is this? she asked. " 'Mine,' I said. "She poured out a glass of water and dipped the brush in. '"Oh, well,' she said, 'I won't be afraid to use it. then.' "For a moment 1 stood there literally stupefied, but soon I saw that prompt action was necessary, and 1 caught Mary's arm in abainful grasp. " 'Put it dowb this instant' I com manded. 'Put it down.' "Mary drew back and withered me out of the corner of tier eye. 1 "'Dear me.' she said, 'how touchy some folks are! I never work for touchy folks. I "And so we parted. She seemed un able to get my point of view on tooth brush etiquette, and I seemed unable to get hers, so we thought it best to sever our relations." New York Times. His Work 8howa the Glorifying Power ' ef the Grand. Passion. "How Wagner must have loved when he wrote that!" exclaimed old King William of Prussia when he beard ' Tristan und Isolde" for the first time. We know now through the publication of Wagner's love letters and other bio i graphical and autobiographical mate rial that be was In love with Mathilde Wesendonck when he composed the opera. This passion was warp and I jvoof of that immortal music drama. the greatness of which compelled Wag ner all the rest of his life to bold him self up to his highest level of produc tion. Frank Harris has pretty definitely ' proved that Shakespeare wrote "An tony and Cleopatra" under the Influ ence of a tragical and hopeless love for Mary Fltton. It has been declared by a great critic that "Antony and Cleo patra" has in It every shred of Shake speare's vitalizing power and that as tragedy it marks the senlth of his achievement If It Is Indeed Mary Fit ton who is in it she possesses a monu ment more glorious than any memorial of stone ever raised to a potentate, a i saint or a god. ( 1 Not every man who lives by art la a Shakespeare or a Wagner, but every artist great or small, Is subject to the ' same principle of the animating and glorifying power of love. Joseph Ed gar Chamberlain in New York Mali. I!, t " i L cf .i .w.. v Warrior cf t.. ) . Twelfth Century." The famous if somewhat phantom personage Prester John, who for two or three centuries occupied so promi nent u pluce in the historic annuls of Euroiie and in the minds of Europeans, Wss, from the most reliable accounts, Christian conqueror of , enormous power and great splendor, who com bined the character of priest and king and. ruled over vast dominions in the orient in the middle ages. ' He had, it was related, established a powerful em pire either in Asia or Africa, and won derful stories were told of his victo ries, bis riches and bis power. 3 His mode of warfare which - was unique and entirely effective. Indicates an' Intimate acquaintance with ex plosives and combustibles. He pos sessed an army of "life sized copper soldiers mounted . on brazen horses. which were, ' charged. " with: explosive materials, projectiles and poisonous pas. This formidable array was mar-j shaled to the front and spat forth Its deadly fumes and dangerous projec tiles with horrid effectiveness, making havoc In the ranks of the enemy. . : The first mention of this extraordi nary man, who appears and disappears from historic annals at long intervals, occurs in the' Chronicles of Otto, Bish op of Friesengen,' who narrates Pres. ter John's conquest of the Persians at j Egbatana, In the extreme orient, In the year 1145.

H. Moore US Middle St.' New Bern, iV. C.! Wren's Bomb For 8t Paul's. St Paul's old St Paul's once knew the effect of a bomb that actually ex ploded. After the great fire It was at first thought that the ruins might be repaired, but too much damage having been done it was decided to pull the fabric down a task in which many Uvea were lost To put an end to the tedious work Wren bit upon the Idea of Inclosing eighteen, pounds of gun powder in a wooden box and explod ing It under the central tower. The re sult was to lift the arches some nine Inches, so that the ruins "suddenly Jumping down made a great heap of ruin In the place without scattering.'' The architect proudly boasted that his powder box had lifted 3,000 tons and raved the labor of 1,000 men. London Graphic. "Celestial" as Applied to China. Every one knows the epithet "Celes tial'' applied to China, but few know Its origin. According to' a very old legend, Tibet1 is a fragment of a planet once peopled by a yellow race, which in some way became detached and fell on the earth. The dazed in habitants of the fragment were unin jured and, cold and hungry, they made Mental Medicine. ' "Imagination," says a doctor, "must always be reckoned with In medi cine sometimes as a friend, some times as a foe. I know a doctor who treated an old woman for typhoid, and on each visit be took her temperature by holding a thermometer under her tongue. One day when she had nearly recovered the doctor did not bother to take her temperature, and he had hardly got 100 yards from the house when her son called him back. "'Mother is worse,' said the man. Come back at once.' "The doctor returned. On his entry into the sickroom the old woman look ed up at him with angry and reproach ful eyes. . , "Doctor." she said. why didn't you give me the Jigger under me tongue to day? That always done me more good than all the rest of your trash.' "New York Tribune.

The purpose, has been to include all of the present state south of . Westchester county In a new state to be called (In one Instance) the state of Manhattan. -North of the Bronx district the name of New York was still to be retained. The surrounding islands of the south all those of Long Island sound. Long Island complete and all . of the counties comprising New York city were to be,embraced within the new state of Manhattan. The creiitton of, a bew state confers a right that cannot later be abrogated and in this respect is unique In the establishment of political areas. After the people of the district In question have decided by vote that the carry ing out of a new state is desired, con gress passes upon the application.' Up to this point congress i supreme. Once, however, congress agfees to the new state creation and the new state becomes an established tact then n0 power of the republic can undo what has been done by legislative act No repeal can revoke the privileges of a law abiding sovereign - state. New York Sun. .. - Ball a Girls' Gams. Of all the games bail seems to be peculiarly a girl's game throughout the ages. The Roman girls used to strike balls with the palm of the hand to keep them bouncing, or would fling them against the wall to drive them back on fhe return or would pass the ball from band to band in the ring or In a row. The ball of the olden times was much like the one now in use. It was soft or hard, as occasion demand ed; It was plain with puimed or em broidered cloth; It was a hollow large balloon or a small light sphere.. The German poets make frequent allusion to ball as a girl's game. . , It was de scribed as a first BDort of summer. One writer observes. "When 1 saw the girls on the street playing ball tben came to our ears the song of birds." The game was a favorite one with youths and maids, who would contend for the ball, that the one who gained It might throw it to the one loved best Kansas City Times.
