HARP OF UNHAPPY QUEEN.
Musical Instrument of Mary of Scot
land Recently Sold.
The harp of Mary, Queen of Scots,
was sold by auction In Edinburgh the
other day. It fetched 860 guineas
and passed into the possession of the
Scottish Antiquarian society. Anoth-
er harp, too, was sold—that of a wan-
dering minstrel. The minstrel was
probably a little better musician than
Mary, but his harp fetched only j00
guineas. It wanted the queenly
touch. At the same sale there was
knocked down a lock of hair from
the pate of Bonnie Prince Charlie,
together with the broadsword that he
swung at Cullodcn. *n enthusiast
gave 32 guineas for the hair and 75
for the blade.
It seems that a Scottish laird s
estate had gone to pieces. Last rep
resentative of an old family, his
death dispersed his large collection.
But the spirited Scottish Antiquarian
society is keeping them all on Scot-
tish soil.—Boston Evening Transcript.

LIUS CACSAR AT HOME.
Preser.ce of a Brutus Divulged to the
Company.
"A certain friend of mine," remark-
ed Irving Baeheller the other riav
"was entertaining some bachelor
friends at his home one evening. 1 he
host's wife did not appear at tne par-
ty, which was entirely a stag affair.
Alter the high balls had held sway for
an hour or so,, the topic of matrimony
fell under discussion. Many yIi-ws
were expressed. The host, when bis
turn came, pounded his fist on the
table and said:
'"Boys, when you get married, fol-
low my example, and be a Julius C ue-
scr In your own home!"
"Just then there came a voice from
upstairs:
" 'Julius Caesar, come to bed—imme-
diately!'
"And he went."—New York Times.
IGNITION
OF PILES OF COAL.
How Danger of Spontaneous Combul-
tion May Be Reduced to Minimum.
The tendency to spontaneous com-
bustion of coal when stored in bulk-
In masses of, say, 1,000 tons or there-
abouts—may appear to be a some-
what unusual point to make in favor
of the gas engine as a large-size pow-
unit for central station work. It
was. however, made as such recently
by a central station engineer, whose
contention was that the nearly al-
ways present danger of spontaneous
Ignition in the large reserve stock of
coal expedient for a power station of
any considerable size to carry, to tide
„ver possible temporary Interruptions
in the supply, from strikes or other
c.iuses, was entirely eliminated by
' • use of gas engines which took
htlr gas from central gas plants.
Curiously, however, the fact ap-
pears here to have been overlooked
hat with the large gas engine plant
will come, as an almost inseparable
adjunct, the gas producer, taking the
place of the steam boiler now ac-
cessory to tne steam engine Installa-
tion. so that the large co .l pile will
remain in evidence, as before, and
the spontaneous Ignition troubles as
!. even with certain precautions
against them, in the way of selecting
and -'oring the coal. Experience in
some cases has dictated the safe
height to which coal of certain sul
phur percentage may be banked, but
this height will vary with some oth-
er governing conditions easily enough
Imagined The gas engine, therefore,
will, after ail, have to depend for
favorable consideration upon its sev-
i ral other well known good polntf
rather than upon the one mentioned
in the opening lines of this para
graph.
Book He Was Quoting From.
Melvln Chapman, the well known
lawyt r and ex-mayor of Oakland, tells
of the late Attorney George W. Tyler
and Joseph McKenna, the latter now
one of the justlcis of the United
States supreme court.
Tylt r once went to Fairchlld, Cal.,
to argue a demurrer to a complaint.
McKenna was the attorney for the
plaimlff. After Tyler had talked to
the court for two weary hours Mc-
Kenna. In that gentle manner for
which he has always been famous,
suggested that he thought "counsel
had failed utterly to discuss the es-
sential features of the matter."
Tyler retorted in his gruffest tones:
"Mr. McKenna. what you don't know
sires me to ofTer you my hand and about law—and what I don't know-
heart." "My grandmother, the queen would fill a very large volume."

Love and Royalty.
The proposals of royal personages j
are generally far more commonplace
than those of ordinary people, though
there is often more love behind them
than one would suspect from an ar-
rangement which is really a matter
of state craft. The proposal of the j
czar is a case in point. While he
was still czarevitch, he met and fell
in love with Princess Alix of Hesse,
who was staying at York cottage. His
proposal was made in correct form.
"My father, the czar," said he. "de-

The bachelor, of course, has given
marriage some thought, but, as a rule,
he hasn't got any knobs on his head
from deep thinking.

It was a love match, and in spite
of the trials and troubles that have
befallen them, it is a thoroughly
happy marriage.
Train Up the Parents.
The child's salvation must be won
from within out and not from without
in. All the laws and restrictions in
the world cannot make a good man
or woman out of the Individual that is
determined to seek the disreputable
and the vile. What must save the boy
or the girl Is the principle instilled
from earliest years by faithful love
and authority, line upon line, precept
upon precept. We must reach the
wayward and reckless parent some-
how before we can make much im-
pression on the character of children
that live at home. How this can be
done is a problem that almost baffles
solution.—Portland Oregonian.

Catch Birds With K< ok and Line.
Catching gulls and other sea fowl
by a baited hook and line is a bar-
barous practice which Is sometimes
resorted to by sailors. The same
method was employed in former times
for catching herons. A long line ol
silk, with a strand of wire twisted
In, was fixed to a stone at one end
and to hooks at tne other. The hooks
were baited with live roach or dace.
The bait was then put out in shallow
water, where the birds seeking their
food, either in a stream or at the
edge of a pond. When the heron
pouched the bait the hooks lodged
in his gullet and the strand of wire
in the line prevented It from being
bitten through.

MOURNING THAT CAME I.ATE.
Husband Dead Nine Months, But
Widow Wanted Black.
A lady in London was asked for aid
by a poor woman who she had be-
friended. "My husband is dead and
I haven't a stitch of mourning,' said
the woman. "Please- do help me."
"But," replied the lady, "why go into
mourning? You do not really mourn
the loss of that man. He used to beat
you and the children; he stole their
clothes and yours to buy drink; he
tried to murder you. He has been
absent from home for months. Now
that he has turned up again and died
you want to buy black with money
which should go to feed your chil-
dren." The woman admitted the truth
of it all. "God was good to take him."
she said unaffectedly, "but what will
the neighbors say if I don't put on
black?" "Well, supposing I do man-
age to help you, for what day do you
want the clothes? When is the funer-
al?" the lady asked. "Oh, there ain't
no funeral, mum," the suppliant an-
swered. "My husband died nine
months ago In the prison 'orspital, but
it's only this mornin' as I've 'eard
about it."
Good Reason for Popularity.
Robert B. Roosevelt, an uncle of the
president, who has announced that he
is to give a dinner to some of his
friends, at which he will open wine
bottled in 1813, Is the most popular
man in New York. Old friends of
whom he had lost trace years ago are
hunting him up. while the new ones
are so thick that he cannot under
stand how he ever came to know
them all.
Presence of Mind.
"I'm ready," shouted a pompous
orator the other night, "to meet calm
ly any emergency that may arise.'
At this moment the platform col
lapsed and the speaker exhibited great
perturbation.
• How about that one?" they asked
him later.
"That one did not arise."—New
Yorker.
Papal Concession.
Monsignore Sogaro, rector of the
Academia del nobili ecclesiastic!, has
decided to add the German language
to the courses taught In his school, in
view of his complaints that the papal
representatives in German countries
seldom knew that language, and there
fore were unable to attend to their
duties properly.
Value of Farm Animals.
The value of the farm animals in
(he United States, as shown by the
Agricultural Department, Is: Horses,
ti,000,000,000; mules, $200,000,000
cattle, $1,300,000,000; sheep, $168,000,
000, and hogs, $305,000,000.
One Man's Wisdom.

pay to lend you $5 just now? You
have a hundred in your pocket.

Contingent Indignation.
"Aren't you angry because your hus-
band bets on the races?''
"I don't know yet," answered young
Mrs Torklns. "I haven t heard

The young man who admires a girl
because she is well dressed kicks like
a'mule after marrying her when he is
called upon to pay the freight.
WISDOM'S WHISPERS.
Women decline to see glaring iaults
in the man they love.
In real life a woman's ideal man Is
either a sycophant or an actor.
Most of our political economy now-
adays seems to end in official extrav*
agance.
A woman finds no trouble in detect-
ing the beauty tricks of aruther
woman.
Married women, no matter how
young, like to talk about their court-
ing days.
When a man strikes bad luck he In-
dulges in the most glowing of good
resolutions.
The engaged girl takes delight In
telling how long she will be away on
her bridal tour.
It is astonishing how resigned a
man looks when he knows It is im'
possible to appear youthful.
Men are extravagant to the verge
of recklessness for at least three
months after the marriage ceremony,
PAID FOR ITS ERROR.
Austrian Government Compensates
Woman Wrongfully Imprisoned
It seems only fair that a person
who has been wrongly sentenced
death should receive some sort of
compensation, if the mistake be dis-
covered in time. They recognize this
in Austria, though not everywhere
else. A woman named Theresa Gietz-
lnger underwent this tragic expert
ence. Her sentence was commuted to
penal servitude for life, anil recently
after she had served some years of
her penalty, it was discovered that a
judicial error had occurred. She
claimed an Indemnity of 11,000 crowns
and the government have now accord
her 4.S73 crowns and a pension of 3C0
crowns per annum.
Marry in a Bunch.
According to an old Breton custom
all the marriages of the year lake
place on one day. After the legal
wedding has been performed the con
pies take their stand In a row be
hind the high altar of the church and
behind them sit their fathers and
mothers, and so do their cousins and
their uncles and their aunts, all array-
ed in their brightest colored raiment
and the whitest and stillest of eolffes.
The scene in the church is plctur
esque beyond description. They
through th<- ceremony In unison. The
moral sunport it must give to the
timidest bridegroom!
Silk Stockings.
It is said that Henry II. of Franct
was the first who wore silk stockings i
and this was on the occasion of hit
sister's wedding to the duke of Savoy
in 1509.
Howell, in his "History of the World,
snys that in 1550 Queen Elizabeth ol
England was presented with a pair ol
silk stockings by her silk woman
Mrs. Montague, and that she never
wore cloth ones afterward.
He also adds that Henry VIII. or
dlnarlly wore cloth hose unless there
came from Spain by great chance a
pair of silk ones. From this it would
seem that silk stockings came origin-
ally from Spain.
Sure To Be Disagreeable.
"Hello, Gudger; I've been looking
for you a week. Couldn't find you
high or low. Met a friend of yours the
other day. He's been talking about
you and I felt it my duty to tell you
what he said."
"Ah! Weil, I don't care to hear
what he said. I know it was som
thing disagreeable."
"How do you know that?"
"Because you are so anxious to tell
it. Good morning."
Acrobatic in Metaphors.
It sometimes happens that a speak-
er's enthusiasm runs away with him
and bis metaphors as, for instance,
when a zealous supporter of a certain
organization recently thundered
forth: "He is a person, my friends—
I know what 1 am saying, for I have
had personal experience—he Is a per-
son who would not hesitate to slap
you on your back before your face
and give you a black eye behind your
back!"
Exasperating Experiences.
"Two things make my wife awful
mad."
"What are they?"
"To get ready for company that
don't come and to have company when
she isn't ready."

these birds were probably Korean sei

chase than the golden eagle. Wit
the exception of Stellar's sea-eagli

One marked route of birds is th:
which takes them between England

North Sea and in the south in la
September and October, from t
Thames estuary, from Kent, from t
Htimber and from Norfolk. The i
turn journey is undertaken in t
spring. The birds go from west ct
tral Europe, where one natural
thinks they have descended the li

leave the Dutch coast where tin
rivers end, and pass onward to th
cummei quarters.

Campaigning in the Cold.
The Intense cold found at the high
elevations over which the British
troops marched into Tibet nearly dis-

locks of the Maxims of oil and carry
them In their breast pockets to keep
them warm and dry, and the men
took their rifles to bed with them.
Otherwise the oil would freeze into
a clogging mess which would cause
misfires. The water Jackets of the
Maxims became a source of danger
and even a mixture of one-quarter
rum did not prevent the water from
freezing.

Even-Handed Justice.
In the province of Baden a motorist
recently killed a goose. The owner
was indignant and demanded 3 shil-
lings damages. The motorist offered
him 2 shillings damages, plus the
goose, which he did not want to carry
off. Not being able to come to terms,
the parties went to the mayor, who
delivered the following judgment:
"Mr. Sepp, give me your goose, inas-
much as you do not want It. Mr.
Motorist, give me the 2 shillings you
are willing to pay as damages. I give
Mr. Sepp 1 shi ling for his goose,
which I keep!" \nd thus it was set-
tled.
Vegetable Artillery.
The common balsam has a singular
method of disseminating its seeds.
When they are ripe and prepared for
germination the setidpod explodes
with the slightest touch, and the
seeds are scattered in every direction
with such force as to carry them a
distance of twenty or thirty feet.
Plants have many curious methods of
scattering their seeds, but there is
none stranger than the vegetable ar-
tillery represented by the balsam.
Some Good Advice.
I.et your recreations be manly,
moderate, seasonable, and lawful; the
use of recreation is to strengthen
your labor and sweeten your rest.
But there are some so rigid or so
timorous that they avoid all diver-
sions, and dare not indulge In lawful
delights for fear of offending. Those
tire hard tutors, if not tyrants to
themselves; whilst they pretend to
a mortified strictness, they are in-
jurious to their own liberty, and the
liberality of their Maker.—Steele.
