I In Westminster Abbey.
St Edward's chapel is the most sa
cred spot in Westminster abbey, for it
incloses the body of Edward the Con
fessor, the first king who has any his
toric claim to be called its founder. It
Is entered by a flight of ten steps from
the north ambulatory. On Oct 13.
1269, the wainscot chest which con
tained the confessor's body was
brought from the palace to Its new
resting place. Henry 111., his broth
er, Richard, king of the Romans, ad
his two sons bore the coffin on their
shoulders.—London Standard.

Besides his live or six consummate
works, which by universal consent are
i practically above criticism, it may be
said that Goethe's songs are the best
in the world. He is the greatest ol
all literary critics, and in subtle and
abundant observation of human lift
and in the number and value of hi'
j wise remarks and pregnant sentence!
he is one of the greatest writers of al
time. Goethe may be classed as on*
of the "greatest men."—New Yorl

A Spirit of Resignation.
An actor on his benefit night, having
a very limited audience, when he came
to the often quoted passage, " 'Tis not In
mortals to command success, but we'll
do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it,"
heaved a deep sigh and substituted for
the last line. "But we'll do more, Sem
pronius; we'll do without It"—"Pic
tures and the Picture Goer."
THIS VERY DAY.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow
may never come. I believe in to
day. It is all that I possess. The
past is of value only as it can make
the iife of today fuller and freer.
There is no assurance of tomorrow.
I must make good today. —Charles
Stelzle.
A Summer of Haze.
Europe and Asia were covered by
fog during the summer of 1783. Says
Gilbert White Getter 109): "The sum
mer of the year 1783 was an amazing
and a portentous one, * ♦ * for, be
sides the alarming meteors and tre
mendous thunderstorms, * * * the
peculiar haze or smoky fog that pre
vailed for many weeks in this island
(England) and in every part of Europe
and even beyond its limits was a most
extraordinary appearance. The heat
was intense. Calabria and part of the
isle of Sicily were torn and convulsed
with earthquakes." Cowper also re
fers to this phenomenon in speaking of
"nature, with a dim and sickly eye."
A Dictionary Pillow.
I once knew a woman who wrote
books, a woman who was very learned
in the matter of French and Latin
and German and Greek. Often when
her nights were dark and dreadful and
sleepless, she would lie awake and
think of words—what language thej
were derived from and what their
original meanings had been. She told
me that it was a great source of pleas
ure to her and kjp her from growing
nervous when felt wide awaka.
Often through the chill gray dawn I,
too, lie awake and think about words
to keep myself from the unpleasant
imaginings that sometimes haunt mo
in the nighttime.—Christian Herald.

The Magnetic Poles.
The north magnetic pole is in lati
ude 70 degrees 5 minutes, and west
vuigitude IH degrees 4b minutes. The
outh magnetic pole is in latitude 72
egrees 30 minutes, and in east longi
ude 155 degrees 30 minutes. A straight
ne drawn from pole to pole through
he earth would pass at a distance of
~0 miles from the center. And one of
he remarkable facts about this mag
etic axis of the earth is that it keeps
self at right angles to a-line drawn

During a marriage ceremony in
Scotland recently the bridegroom look
ed extremely wretched, and he got so
fidgety, standing first on one foot and
then on the other, that the "best man"
decided he would find out what the
trouble was.
"What's up. Jack?" he whispered.
"Hae ye lost the ring?"
"No." answered the unhappy one.
with a woful look, "the ring's safe
enough, but, man, I've lost ma enthu
siasm."—Boston Transcript.
A teachers' meeting was in progress,
and it was decided that the more
difficult subjects should come in the
morning and those that required less
application later in the day. History
was last on the list, and Miss Wheeler,
the young teacher, protested.
"But it certainly is easier than
science or mathematics," the principal
insisted.
"As I teach it." replied the young
teacher, "no subject could be more
difficult and confusing."—Lippincott's.
When a Hedgehog Awakea.
When a hibernating hedgehog awak'
ens it rapidly warms itself up. Wheth
er this is done automatically or wheth-
er it is due to the awakening animal
"pulling itself together" seems to be
a moot point. The fact is that the
animal rapidly warms itself up. The
chemistry of this is a rapid combus
tion of glycogen along with a small 01
moderate quantity of fat. There seems
no doubt that the important fuel which
so rapidly makes the fire of life burn
up is glycogen; the fat is only sub
sidiary. It must be noticed that in
the hedgehog the awakening and the
warming up are two distinct though
associated processes, for the animal
may be awake at a lower temperature.
THE TURNING POINT.
In all lives, the highest and hum
blest, there is a crisis in the forma
tion of character and in the bent of
disposition. It comes from many
sources and from some which on
the surface are apparently trivial.
It may be a book, a speech, a ser
mon, a great misfortune or a burst
of prosperity. But the result is the
same —a sudden revelation to our
selves of our secret purpose and a
recognition of our perhaps long
shadowed but now masterful con
victions.
A few factories in Europe make all
the watch crystals used in the world.
These comprise five In Lorraine, two in
France, two in Switzerland, one in Al
sace and one In Bohemia. The annual
ouput is about 800,000 gross. Hand
labor is employed to a great extent in
making the crystals, and the wages
paid are very small.
"You must pardon me!" exclaimed
the golfer. "The trouble Is that 1 have
been so perplexed about naval matters
that I got confused."
"What's that got to do with the

said 'Aft!' when I should have said
'Fore!' "—Washington Star.
HUMAN WISDOM.
Human wisdom makes as ill use
of her talent when she exercises it
in rescinding from the number and
sweetness of those pleasures that are
naturally our due as she employs it
favorably and well in artificially
disguising and tricking out the iHs of
life to alleviate the sense of them. —
Montaigne.

Quick Growing Rice.
In Siam there is under cultivation a
common sort of rice which in flood
times grows as much as a foot in
twelve hours, so that the plant often
attains a height of ten feet in its ef
forts to keep its leaves above water.

Stevenson's Whimsical Attire.
Here is a picturesque gfimpse of
Stevenson's whimsical as given
in the "Collected Essays of Edmund
Gosse:" i .
"Stevenson was not without a good
deal of innocent oddity in his dress.
When I try to conjure op his figure I
can only see a slight, lean lad in a suit
of blue sea cloth, a black shirt and a
wisp of yellow carpet that did duty
for a necktie. This was long his at
tire, i ersevered in to the anguish of
his more conventional acquaintances
I hare a ludicrous memory of going
in IS7S to buy him a new hat, in com
pany with Mr. Lang, the thing then
upon his head having lost the sem
blance of a hnman article of dress."
The Adjutant Bird.
It is stated that the adjutant, or
marabou, a tall bird of India, of the
stork species, will swallow a hare or
a cat whole. It stands five feet high,
srd the expanse of the wings is nearly
fifteen feet.
MODERATE ABILITY.
' The art of being able to make a
good use of moderate abilities wins
esteem and often confers more rep
utation than greater real merit. —
La Rochefoucauld.
Successful.
"I started out on the theory that the
world had an opening for me, and I
went to find it."
"Did you fiud it?"
"Oh, yes; I'm iu a hole."—Baltimore
American.
. Great Combination.
"She has a very keen perception."
"Yes, and a sharp tongue."—Buffalo
Express.
The Sofa In Germany.
In Germany the sofa is invested with
a sanctity as of a throne. The visitor
must not sit upou it unless especially
invited to do so by the hostess. To
take a seat there unasked is an out
rageous presumption.
Lucky He Was Saved.
"Ton cau't convince me," said the lit
tle man with the ragged trousers, "that
you can bring up children right by
talkin' to 'tin and lettin' it go at that.
You've got to use the rod, or you'll
spoil the child. 1 used to git about
three llckin's a day on the average."
"It doesn't seem to have done much
for you," replied the lady with the pro
truding jaw.
"It done a lot for me. If they'd let
me go my own way I might almost of
been a failure in life."—Judge. 3
