A few months ago there appeared In I

f everal of the Roman papers a curloua
r
advertisement, which ran soniethlug
like this:

lustrates more eloquently what may ;
be termed the programme of patriot- :

staircase mounting to the Capitol, It
occupies two wlre-tivnted cagt-g, about

It Is a factor in the programme of , a repetition of this Incident in the
patriotic education which the gov
ernment hag set itself. The compre
hensive lines on which this policy has
been conceived and the earnestness
with which it is being carried out,
can hardly escape even the casual vial
tor to Rome, By means that must
appeal to the simplest Imagination. I
it is stimulating the national spirit j
and pride of the rising generations of
Italian youths, and, as one preeminent
ly potent means to this end, it Is
bending every effort to make Rome
?e:n what In' reality It Is the Capl
.1 of United Italy.
A3 far back as 1870, according to
rof. Mario Coaenza of the Latin de
partment of the College of the City of
New York, the municipality adopted a
system of nomenclature in the case
of new streets with the deliberate pur
pose of teaching history and patrlot
iaue at the same t.uie. In that year
municipal Improvements were begun
in the eastern section with the lay
ing out of new streets In that part of
the old Esqulllne hill where Maecen
as once had his gardner and whern
the railway station is now. Here the
streets are named after the royal
house of Savoy Victor Emmanuel,
Margherlta, and so on. In the Lud
ovisl quarter, which is rising from the
gardens of Sallust, the streets bear the
names of the provinces of united
Italy Lombardy, Campania, Veneto.
Outside the mediaeval walls near the
Janlculum, once the site of Nero's
gardens, the streets are called after
the great Romans of ancient times,
such as Pompey, Caesar. Finally,
those In the district around the old
Praetorian, camp memorialize the fam
ous battles of the War of Unifica
tion Magenta, Castelfldardo. All
these latter centre around the Piazza
dell' Independenza.
"In Its relics and works of art,"
said Prof. Coeenaa, "the Qtlrlnal
finds a tremendous aid to its patriotic
propaganda. It also finds in them an
enormously valuable source of nation
al income. They are. In fact, one of
the nation's most important assets.
Rome for example, Is a city of about
400,000 population. In the course of a
year this is doubled by the tourists
who visit It, some of whom come for
long periods of study, and practically
all of whom are attracted by Its relics
and works of art or by its religious as
sociations. Rome Is a city of mem
ories. Every landmark, every square
inch of painting by a master, every
et.itch of ancient emforcjdery tliat
leaves It Impoverishes It by so much.
The same holds true for the country.
The arch enemies of the Italian
Government In its pious desire to
have and to hold are the American
millionaire, whose ability to pay ten
tlmos ovw what the Obvoj-nmenti
with Its paltry annual appropriation
for the purchase of antiquities can
afford, sorely taxes the patriotic scru
ples of the owners of antiquities, and
the Vatican, now as ever a keen and
experienced collector. Of the two the
Vatican Is the more deadly.

therein. Tho charge against him
was heresy.

who was hung on the gibbet which
he had erected at Montfaucon for
the execution of certain felons; and
four of his successors in office under
went the same fate.
Matthew Hopkins, the witch find-
er' was himself tried by his own
tests, and put to death as a wizard.
Iron Cage The Bishop of Ver
dun, who Invented the Iron Cages,
too small to let the person confined
in them to stand upright or lie at
full length, was the first to be shut
up in one; and Cardinal La Balue,
who recommended them to Louis
XI, was himself confined in one for
ten years.
Iron Shroud Ludovico Sforaa,
who Invented the Iron Shroud, was
the first to suffer death by this hor
rible torture.
Maiden The Regent Morton of
Scotland, who invented the maiden,
a sort of guillotine, was the first to
be beheaded thereby. This was In
the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
Otracism Cllsthenes Introduced
the custom of ostracism, and was the
first to be banished thereby.
The Perrlere was an Instrument
for throwing stones of three thou
sand pounds in weight; and the in
ventor fell a victim to his own in
vention by the accidental discharge
of a Perrlere against a wall.

HOW THKY blSI'OSK Of ItOIlKS.
Ingeiiious Ierlces Resorted to 11
Prominent Kuilness Men.
One of the most serious problems
for busy men and men of promi
nence to solve la how not to see peo
ple without giving offence.
Also It is quite as vexing a prot
lem and quite as serious a one to
find a way to get rid of callers ex
peditiously. The averaee caller who has suc
ceeded In getting an audience with
some prominent man Is very apt to
forget how very valuable that
prominent man's time Is and to feel
no computation or hesltanev In
monopolizing ns much of It as may
suit his own sweet will.
Of course this does not apply to
the stereotyped and well known class
of bores after they have been found
out to be such. An attendant or a
clerk with ordinary discrimination
and discernment easily detects the
professional bore and keeps him
away from annoying his chief. There
are, however, plenty of well mean
ing people in business and the pro
fessions who are bores without
knowing it. They are the amateur
kind and would be very much of
fended if they were classed as busi
ness annoyances. It Is against the
persistency of this kind of people
that the busy man has to employ his
lneenulty.
The Wall Street magnate, bank
president or head of a big mercantile
house Is perforce obliged to see
many people In the course of the
day. Sometimes the callers run Into
the hundreds. It Is therefore im
portant to limit the calls of those
who have but little business to
transact to as few moments as possi
ble and to get rid of them without in
any way giving offence or breaking
In on the business relations which
already exist.
Many and varied are the schemes
utilized to this end. There is hardly
a big office downtown that has not
some special method of Its own of
accomplishing this end. Perhaps one
of the most amusing and at the same
time simple methods of all employ
ed Is that of one of the magnates of
the Standard Oil. He Is a very diffi
cult man to see at best unless the
caller Is personally known to him or
has some really Important business
that the secretary cannot attend to.
Naturally this condition frequently
arises, and the magnate's method of
making tho cull brief Is to have the
caller shown Into a reception room
In which there are no chairs.
Of course, the magnate's suite of
offices contains other reception
rooms, in which there are plenty of
chairs, but this especial room, re
served and set aside for the "quick
callers," Is entirely devoid of any
place to sit down on. There are
elaborate tables with Inkstands and
pen pads, and also roller top desks.
It would be a sacrilege to even lean
against any of them. This particular
magnate has learned by long experi
ence that when once a man Bits on a
chair he is likely to sit there very
much longer than he is wanted.
The caller is shown into this
chalrless room. The magnate Is here
waiting for him with a pleasant
smile and a warm handshake. Ho
tells his business, naturally as brief
as he can, because it Is not the most
comfortable thing in the world to
stand up and be verbose. The result
is entirely satisfactory to all parties.
The visitor goes away quickly. He
has told all he has to say and tho
magnate is saved any embarrassing
remarks to the effect that "You will
have to excuse me now," or "I am
ery busy," or words to that effect.
That is the method of the Stan
dard Oil's quick action with callers
they do not to have linger.
Process servers do not even got
that amelioration of kindness.
Then there is aluo a theatrical
manager who has a method of his
i ll! Vn. I
jj
ff 'r'S' 'J -I---
m
The pushdwoyhandjrAW
IP THP
own of getting rid of people q'licKiy.
Ills method Is "the push out
handshake."
The visitor Is brought In ani In
troduced. The manager grasps his
band in a warm and fervid embraco
and holds on to it. He holds on to It
for the very best reason In the world
that If he ever let go he would bo
lost. He shakes and pushes and he
pushes toward the door.
The visitor finds himself unfit
tingly saying "good by" before ho
has really had a good opportunity to
say "How do you do."
Actually before he knows It he Is
pushed out Into the hall and the at
tendant lends him away.
The mnn with numerous deputies
who Impersonate him Is the most
common form of getting rid of peo
ple that are not wanted.
It Is not an Infrequent occurrence
that a beardless youth will go to
some anteroom to see a caller and
Impersonate the personality of
gray whiskered veteran of business
or profession. The guileless caller.
In a majority of cases, will possibly
wonder how the man he railed on
hna been able to keep his age so
well. But he will go away satisfied
and pleased that he has had a per
sonal Interview with the man he
came to see.
There Is also the telephone trick,
W..IC11 many prominent men use.
ihls la the operation. The caller,
who.-io business has been consum
mate;! ar.d who is simply' sitting
around with the idea that he Is mak
Ing himself agreeable and solid with
the man he came to see, Is Interrupt
cd In possibly a good story by a vig
orous ring on the telephone. The
"bis mr.n" that he is calling to see
necessarily has to attend to it.
No sooner is he finished with this
call and turn.i politely to his visitor
and Fays "Yes" than comes another
ring on the telephone.
The unwelcome caller is simply
rung out, and all simply because
there Is a ttide awake clerk In the
outer office who understands that a
certain bell ring or a certain signal
means to call up the central ex
change and keep the magnate's tele
phone busy until the unwelcome cal
ler has been got rid of.
There Is still another way. It Is
the haughty, sarcastic and con
temptuous way of receiving callers.
This can be done and Is done with
out even indulging In any manner
Isms or unkind words.
As, for Instance, a gentleman was
very desirous of seeing the presi
dent of a bank. There was no es
pecial reason why the president of
the bank wanted to see him, but
there were very good reasons why
tho caller wanted to see the presi
dent. He (the caller) was armed
with letters of introduction and with
cards from people whose names
should have counted for something.
He made two or three fruitless calls,
only to be Informed that the presi
dent had gone to a directors' meet
ing or was at Atlantic City or Palm
Beach or at lunch. At the best he
hoped for a possibility of catching
him in the corridor when he was
rushing to keep one of these nu
erous engagements.
Finally, after sitting around the
bank president's office for four
hours, during which time he was
told that the aforesaid president
would probably be at leisure In an
hour, he was ushered In through a
loug suite of exterior offices until,
finally, he reached the personal
sanctum of the president. There he
expocted to find a man with a wor
ried look, a stream of people com
ing out after seeing him, and the
president sitting in front of a desk
with a mass of correspondence which
he had not time to attend to. and in
fact every other indication of an
extremely busy and overworked hu
man being.
On the contrary, what he saw was
a dignified, pleasant man, who
leaned back In a very comfortably
upholstered chair, shooting coffee
beans from his thumb and forefinger
at a target on the opposite wall,
which was nothing else than the nose
of a reproduction of a very celebra
ted painting. The caller said:
"Are you very busy, Mr. Presi
dent?" The president of tho bank replied
"Yes, I am very busy, but I can
give you a minute. What is It?"
It is unnecessary to add that the
call was a very brief one.
Hundreds of stories could be told
In a like vein. They all amount to
th same thing, that the busy man
must resort to acting to stage de
vices to get rid of unwelcome callers
and at the same time not offend the
unwelcome caller.

The rabbit hunter, now in his
glory, gets a notice for his thrift
and bravery from the Readinc Tel.
egramt in these words: "There is
a disposition in many .quarters to
poke fuu at the men who, at this
season, iare forth to se?k nnrl sl.iv
the ferocious rabbit in his lair, and
though none of the daring hunters
nave Dten slain and devoured, it is
urged that thev are not Justifiable
in taking such risks But there is
another side to the Question
and their families must eat, and
meat in the market is dear, so he
falls back upon the primal resource.
But even if this necessity did nnt
exist, man is by nature a daring
animal, and the very ferocity of the
rabbit is a temptation to him to go
forth armed and ready to slay or be
slain. Neither can we elimiuate
the just pride which the slayer feels
when he returns with the trophies
of his prowess, as evidences of his
bravery in vanquishing and his
cunning in circumventing these
