The abuse of the sinall orientai rug, 1 no less an object of art than of utility, is an especially common mistake. By ali logie any rug used for a tloor cover ing should emphasize tlie function of the floor as a solid foundation under our feet To do this it must lionor and obey the lines of the floor, at least that part which it decorates. Yet time and again, wliere several small rugs are used for the carpefìng of a room, we find them ali throwu down on the bias, often at dsfferent angles. With none of the sides of a rug parallel to the bounding lines of the floor, we are made conscious of a new decorative idea, one built on top of and at cross purposes with the originai one. Chairs. tables aud other pieees of furnitnre must then be placed either to conform with the position of the rugs or with the structural arrangement of the room; both sets of lines they cannot follow. So, at best, we have a con fusion of ideas, a room which seems to rest on an insecure foundation.— Agnes Itowe Fairman in Good House keeping. Hissed His Own Play. Baron de Frenilly, who flgured prom- Lnently in France during the days of "the terror," must surely have been the only author who ever hissed his own play. This was entitled "Les Trois Tantes" and was produced at the Vaudeville theater, Paris. "Before half of the first scene had been played I said to myself, 'Oh, but this is execrable!' The public was of the same opinion and, while my friends kept applauding, hissed with ali ita strength. I ended by heartily hissing myself, for the further the play pro gressed the more convineed I was that the people were right. "On leaving the theater a friend who was not In the secret of the authorship said to me, 'What a piece of extrava l gance, what a wretched farce!' 'De testable,' I replied, and whatever he said I went one better. 'lt is said to be by Comte de Segur,' he continued. 'No,' rejoined I; 'it was written by me.* The poor man was fixed with ainuze raent." —From "Baron de Frenilly's Reminiscences." Riddle Making Epochs. There have been epochs at which rid dle making has been more especially in vogue, and such epochs would appear to occur at seasons of fresh iute ec tual awakening. Such an epoch ti ere was at the first glimmering of ne\* in tellectual light in the second hai' of the seventeenth century. This was the age of Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne, 1 the first in the roll of Anglo-Latin poets. He left a considerable nun ber of enigmas in Latin hexameters. Aid helm died in 709. Before his tme there was a collection of Latin rid le» that bore the name of Symphoslus. Of this work the date is unknown. W*» only know that Aldhelm used it, sud we may infer that it was then a re '»nt product. The riddles of Symphf. ius were uniform in shape, consisting i .ich of three hexameter lines.—Co rr filli Magatine. Explosive Barrels. Nltroglycerin, though an explosire, is rarely used by itself, belng mlxed wtth gunootton to form blasting tin or with a certain earth to m ike dynamite. Huge quantities of the ex plosive liquid are kept in casks, and the wood of these casks becomes so highly explosive through being sos'ied with the liquid that a kick will blow tbem to pieces. It is not safe to use the empty casks again for refllllng them , with the explosive, nor can they be used in any other way, even for lire wood. There is only one thlng, ind< ed, that can be done, and that is to ex plode the casks. They are placed on waste ground and usually exploded by means of a rifle bullet fired into them. Very little of the cask remains after the explosion.—London Standard.

The on« 1 tliing in this world that i« considered Constant. the only peak that rise» a bove the clouds, the window In which the lighf burns forever, the one star that darkness cannot quench, is wo man's love. It rlses to the greatesi height; it sinks to the lowest depthaf it forgives the most crnel injuries. A woman's love is the perfume of the heart. This is the real lore that sub dues the earth; the lore that has wrought mlracles of art; that gives us music ali the way from eradle song to the grand symphony that bears the soul away on wings of Are —a love that is greater than power, sweeterj than life and stringer than death.— Robert G. Ingersoll. Crooked Stratta. Perhaps the most renmrkable and intricate strait in the world is likely to l>e ehucked on the scrap hoap. Its day, whlch began late in h '.story, 1» almost over. The Panama canal has diverted most of its trafile and will presently divert inuch more. The fa mous explorcr Magellan was the first manto brave the dangers of this tor tuous passage. He did it in a wind jaininer, but as a mie only steamshipi follow in his tra in. It is too crooked a strait for the sailing sliip. In the first place, the strait of Magel lan is 400 mi Ics long. It is as twlaty and bendy as a serpeut or an eel, and in places it ls tianked with snow cap ped mountains 7,000 feet high. It would help matters tf shlps could anehor, but they cannot. The water ls too deep. So this strait has never heen popular with sailing sklppers, and they prefer the rigors of the Horn and several hundred mlles farther around. The Cheering Wasn't Renewed. Professor R. W. Ivee of McOlll uni» versity law school was once address ing the Ontario Bar assoclation, and 1 the Osgoode hall students were pres ent Of course Dean Lee's address had to be punctuated by the usuai stu dents' outbursts. Dean Lee touched on ancient and modera law and the methods of lawyers and Judges. Tak- Ing up one line of legai problems, ho said: "Now, if I asked a lawyer of such and suoli an age this questlon he would answer so and so or somethlng to that effect. But, coming down to the present day, lf I were to ask tho same question of an Osgoode hall stn dent"— Instantly the nolse began. The students yelled aud cheered and applauded and stamped on the floor and pounded their desks. It was some noise, but at last it subsided. Dean Lee, unruflled. went on to say, "If I were to ask an Osgoode ball student he would answer, 'I don't know.' Silence. Song of tho Marine*.
