The total length of the rope between the two points is when drawn taut 2000 feet, and the nd attached to the cliff is several hun. dred feet higher than that fastened on the opposite side of the ravine.

For the lofty Journey a sort of saddie is provided made of wood, with holes in it, thro ugh which the rope passes, But before a start Is made the whole length of the rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from catching fire from the friction.

He wrote plays and that, in his opin. fon, rare merit So it seemed fitting to him that great liter- ary men should fraternize, and he sent an Invitation to Voltaire to his guest, Accompanying the invitation wis a sun of money to defray the great Frenchman's traveling expenses to the Prussian capital Let it be explained at this point that Frederick was extremely penurious and that Voltaire was not only ex- travagant, but had many of the char- acteristics of what we would now eal} a grafter It should under stood that Frederick graft- ing, and Voltaire miserii- ness.

The king in the J: of their friendship bad given Voltaire a iife pension of £3,200 a year, and the money that was confiscated was a semiannual installment. Thus ended thelr friendship Book he scented $1 yi tie J iys Scrap Spanish Nicknames. One of the peculiar ways In which Spanish differs from English is in the names the language gives to all peo ple with a certain infirmity or peculiar. ity. A blind man is referred to as el clego, a man with but one eye Is a tuerto, a pug nosed man is chato, one who Is cross eyed 1s a bisojo, a cojo is & lame man, and a manco has but one arm. If he is humpbacked, he Is a Jorobado; If baldheaded, a calvo, and if his hair is very short he is a pelon. The feminine titles for the same classes are the same, with the exception that they end In “a” where the masculine terminate with “0.” These short names are used most commonly. In fact, they are applied as nicknames in many cases, and especially among the lower classes persons are addressed or re ferred to only by these names. A Wedding Present.
