Moslem Architecture.
The moslem architecture at Agra
snd Delhi. so splendid. yet so short
lived. is so distinctive of a dynasty
and so alien to the country as to be
chiefly signiticant of the influence of
the west on the east and stands alike
in its permanence and in its feeling or
jdeality in remarkable contrast to all
that was before it. is around it and
has come after it. It is indeed curious
how young India is in art and how old
in her literature, her customs and her
social framework. There is no social
institution surviving in Greece or Italy
that can in respect of age or of inter-
est compare with the Hindoo castes,
and there are no buildings or monu-
ments in India that can boast an an-
tiquity equal to much that can be
found in the Latin and even in the
Teutonic countries of Europe. Only 2
few of the ruder and smaller rock tem-
ples go behind the Christian era, the
greater and more elaborate belonging
to a more recent date, and it Is but
what the later history would lead us
to expect when we find as regards re-
cently recovered Buddhist sculptures
that a sense of form begins to appear
just as Greek influences become active
in India, though the imitations stand
at an immense distance from the orig-
inals.—Contemporary Review.
A Misnamed Island.
The island of Madagascar is mis-
.. named. It should be called St. Lorenz
‘4sland, Marco Polo in his work on
Africa named a stretch of land on the
east coast, south of the equator, Mada-
gascar. Some time after this Martin
Belhaim of Nuremberg prepared a
chart of Africa, using Marco Polo's
works as a guide, but misunderstood
the report on Madagascar, thinking it
meant an island. He thereupon delib-
erately added an island to the east
coast. This imaginary island was
mapped on the charts of the geogra-
phers of the iifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. In 1506 the Portuguese sea
captain, Fernando Svarez, discovered
the real island of Madagascar and
gave it the name of St Lorenz, and
for a time thereafter two islands found
their place on the charts. In 1531 it
was known that there was really only
one island. and in accordance with
this discovery the original name of
Madagascar was retained, and the
other name was dropped.
The Way of Heather.
Where Sonnerbo township touches
the boundaries of Halland there is a
sandy heath which is so farreaching
that he who stands upon one edge of
it cannot look across to the other.
Nothing except heather grows on the
heath, and it wouldn't be easy to coax
other growths to thrive there. To
start with. one would have to uproot
the heather, for it is thus with heather:
Although it has only a little shrunken
root, small shrunken branches and
dry, shrunken leaves, it fancies that
it's a tree. Therefore it acts just like
real trees—sprends itself out in forest
fashion over wide areas, holds together
faithfully and causes all foreign
growths that wish to crowd in upon
its territory to die out.—“Adventures
of Nils,” Translated From the Swedish
of Selma Lagerlof by Velma Swan-
ston Howard.
Protecting Her Cake.
The woman who had charge of a cer-
tain village postoffice was strongly sus-
pected of tampering with parcels in-
trusted to her care. One day a rosy
cheeked youngster, dressed in his best
clothes, entered the postofiice and care
fully laid a huge slice of iced cake on
the counter. :
“With my sister the bride's compli
ments, and will you please eat as much
as you can?" he said.
The postmistress smiled delightedly.
“How very kind of the bride to re-
member me!” she cried. “Did she
know of my weakness for wedding
cake?"
“She did,” answered the youngster
coldly. “and she thought she'd send yer
a bit of it this afternoon, just to take
the edge off yer appetite before she
posted any boxes off to her friends!"—
Exchange.
The Artful Passenger.
“Here, you,” said the conductor an-
grily, “you rang up a fare. Do that
again and I'll put you off.”
The small man standing jammed in
middle of the car promptly rang
up another fare. Thereupon the con-
ductor projected him through the
crowd and to the edge of the platform.
“Thanks.” said the little man. uy
didn't see any other way to get out.

Real Dialect.
At a traction line ticket office In
Dayton, O.. the other day 1 overheard
the following conversation, the parties
thereto being a German woman and
the ticket agent:
“A dicket tsoo Zinzin-nay-tee.”
“One way?
“Zwel ways.”
Then as he stamped the ticket the
purchaser asked:
“] haf dime to vaidt how much?'—

“What would you do.” asked the ex.
cited politician, “if a paper should call
you a liar and a thief?"
“tell,” said the lawyer, “if 1 were

form or thrash the editor.”--Pick-Me-

When Wamen Claim Age.
At two periods in life femininity de-
claves itself to be older than it really
is, before it has reached eighteen and
after it has reached eighty-five.—

Making “Cinnamon” Canaries.
“Cinnamon canaries are the best
known of a mere handful of instances
where it is possibie to change the color
of a bird or animal by food. The trick
has long been known to fanciers, and
each claims to have his own secret for
working the miracle, but the process is
really simple and consists in abundant-
ly sprinkling the birds’ food with red
pepper. It is a troublesome process,
for a large number of birds either re
fuse to eat or suffer from deranged
digestion. Even of those who take the
diet not more than a third or a balf
will show the color effects. The only
inducement to the fanciers to produce
this curious change is that once so
altered these birds have an artificlal
value. Dealers will tell you that in ad-
dition to the red pepper they give oth-
er red articles of food, such as tomato
skins, slices of beet and the skins of
red apples or cranberries. But this Is
merely an innocent fallacy, based on
the idea that the coloring matter of the
food is transferred bodily to the feath-
ers.—Collier's Weekly.
Confession of Mouth,
A city dentist, defending his profes-
sion as a whole from the double charge
i of charlatanism and “graft” made this
interesting declaration:
“While such things exist in dentistry,
as in all businesses, there is far more
of it among glit edged practitioners
than along the modest level where, for
example. | work. Some men enjoying
the most fashionable clientele are the
rankest frauds either In ability or ip
representation of work done.
“But a dentist never can fool a den-
tist. Often a patient will get into my
chair for the first time. and in a casual
conversation 1 will ask who last treat-
ed the teeth. The name always comes,
and a glance tells me whether the man
has worked honestly or dishonestly. !
have sized up some of our ‘best’ den-
tists in that way in half a minute, and
many a reputation has crumbled in my
estimation.
“A dentist can fool the people, but he
can't fool a dentist.”—New York Globe.
Four Kinds of Nails.
The members of a primary class in
the young ladies’ school were ambi-
tious to emulate the members of the
senior class, whom they regarded with
considerable envy on account of their
proficiency in the art of writing ecompo-
sitions. Becoming eager for a like priv-
lege, the five littie girls were told that
they might tell the world what they
knew about “nails.”
A half hour was allotted to the diffi-
calt task, and all went to work. The

The Insect and the Net.
It has been known for a long time
that an Insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as its body. whereas a bird will
go through a mesh of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect ean-
not tell us why It stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through.
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
ap. as they do all things of that kind.
They say that the eye of the insect Is
made up of many facets. so that the
net looks to it like a continuous opaque
surface. the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore It stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye of the bird. however, the
meshes are plainly visible, and it goes
through without hesitation.
What He Got.
He was addressing a lowly but intel-
ligent audience somewhere in the vi-
cinity of Whitechapel, and he had se-
lected for his discourse “Rhymes and
Rhyming,” so that he might illustrate
to those rough and rugged minds how
the charms of poesy can brighten the
poor man's hearth. And, touching upon
the difficulties of rhyming, he said:
“It is easy enough, my friends, to
get a rhyme for so simple a word as
‘sen,’ but what can you get for ‘bur
glary?”*™
“Well, guv'nor,” exclaimed one of his
hearers. “it all depends on the judge.
My Bill got seven years!"—London

The term “caddies.” or “cadles,” or

Books In India.
In India the printed book is regarded
as vulgar if not irreverent, and no de
vout Hindoo would allow his sacred
writings to be contaminated by contact
with leather prepared from the hide of
some animal's dead body. A leather
bound copy of the Bible is for him a
remarkable illustration of Christian Ir
reverence.—~Churchman.
Pretty Black.
“What do you know of the character
of this man?’ was asked of a witness
at a police court the other day.
“What do 1 know of his character?
1 know it to be unbleachable, your

phasis.
