Not so long ngo n letter was taken from a book which was of such an un usual nnturo that I remembered the names concerned long enough to recog nize them in the newspaper reports of a court case which divided a family. The letter was addressed to n woman and tilled with the frank nnd open avowal of a man's forbidden love, for the woman was the wife of nnother. I carefully secreted the missive and a few hours later was confronted by a tall, heavily veiled lady, who asked if a letter had been found In a book .which happened to be n morbid prob lem novel of grout popularity at tho time, the work of n well known Eng lishwoman.

Reverting to the duties of a whip nd patronago secretary, it Is an -louishlng fact that gentlemen of blrtn and social position can be found to till the post. Tbe junior whips' duties are not only onerous, but irksome. They sit or stand In the outer lobby (of the house from 3:110 to V2:.M nt night, and they nsk every member who pnssjes where he Is going, whether he Js paired and when he will be buck. If ho Is not paired, they have either to And a pair for hi 111 or to prevent him from passing out by coaxing or threats, tho former for preference. When their party arc In, these gentle men have to attend to their olllce from 12 to 3. Their hours of duty are, therefore, from 11 a. m. to 12 p. m.. or thirteen hours, with Intervals for lunch, and this they do for il.iHHi a year. When their pnrty is out, they do It, minus their olllce work, for noth ing.

Loudon Btundnrd. When VlaMlnar Is I'lrnnore. After nil is suld nnd done, visiting friends must always be the most deli cate of pleasures. Of nil forms of so cial enjoyment, a well chosen house pnrty Is perhaps the most complete nnd satisfactory. It is oitiy during such short vacations (and on board ship) that the galling harness of every day routine drops completely from one's weary shoulders; It is there only that we escape entirely from the myriad Uttlo cares And worries that lie In wait for us outside. On looking back many of us will be surprised to tlnd how most of our truest friendships date from the occaslou offered by a visit. One may go on meeting people for a deende at formal entertainments, and at the end of that time know less of tbclr real selves than is revealed by one Bhort "weekend" passed together under a congenial roof especially If It be a home where the welcome Is sin cere and the liberty is complete, nnd where the host nnd hostess have taken the trouble to sleep from time to time In their guest chambers. Eliot Greg ory in Century. 'Bird and Their Beaks. Why do birds live so much longer than mammals, which nre often n hun dred times their size? Possibly, mining other things, because they have beaks instead of teeth. All carnivorous beasts become weak and liable to starvation as their teeth drop out or break. Nei ther are tho herbivorous animals In much better case. Old horses would probably die of starvation if wild, for their teeth would fail them; Indeed, in some stony countries old horses have to be killed because their teeth ure worn away by cropping grass close to tbe rock. Rodents constantly die from Injuries to teeth. But a bird's beak neither wears out nor drops off, nnd as It constantly swallows fresh grit to aid In grinding food in the gizzard that needs no repairing either. A Remarkable Tree, The most remarkable tree yet dis covered flourishes in the island of Fierro, one of the largest of the Canary group. This Island Is so dry that not even a rivulet is to be found within Its boundaries, yet thero grows a spe cies of tree, the leaves of which are narrow and long and continue green throughout the year. There is also a constant cloud surrounding the tree, which is condensed and, falling in drops, keeps the cisterns plnced under It constantly full. In this manner the natives of Plerro obtain water, and as the supply is limited the population must of necessity be limited also. Had Made a Chanare.

A man who retires nt U o'clock should hnvo his dinner at tl. As our business methods prohibit this way of living, the next choli for this class Is a noon day dinner, n light meal at ni ;hf ami a morn substantial breakfast. ') he Wan who eats n dinner well propor tioned, served in courses, nt tl or half past will find n light breakfast all that Is necessary. Most persons have been brought up to think it necessary to eat three good meats n day, which few Americans can do fur any Icng.h of time. To prick up the stomach, to bring the gastric secretions In that It may receive the food In a welcome con dition In the morning, an "appetizer" In the shnpe of the Juice of one or two oranges Is taken, or other ncld fruits. At dinner, comllmcntH or largo quan tities of salt nre eaten. The irritation these create we call "appetite." It must be understood that the lack of appetite Is nature's way of telling ns that we should not eat. Those who Insist on eating without appetite live for nwhlle, but go about their dully toil with languid movement:! ami an expression of stern duty, making every 0110 nrouml them feel that life Is n bur den rather than n pleasure. This class nlso go from place to place wishing for new dishes, new Ideas, new ways of dressing the ordinary things they are so tired of eating. Their sense of tnsto has got Into revolt, ami to keep the appetite nt all alert new and highly seasoned dishes must be con stantly concocted. The oyster cocktail, enough to ruin the finest stomach, Is seen on their tables. A natural appe tite to them Is but a reuieiiibranre of childhood.

The Wonderful Itrlilice Thnt sunns a ('nyon In Itnh. Writing about the colossal bridges of Utah, W, W. Dyar says in the Century: Across n canyon measuring ',V,7i feet 7 Inches from wall to wall nature has thrown n splendid nreh of solid sand stone sixty feet thick In the central part nnd forty feet wide, leaving un derneath It a clear opening ;i.r7 feet in perpendicular height. The lateral walls of the nreh rise perpendicularly nearly to the top of the bridge, when they flnre suddenly outward, giving the ef fect of nn Immense coping or cornice overhanging the ninln structure fifteen or twenty feet on ench side and ex tending with the greatest regularity nnd symmetry the whole length of the bridge. The majestic proportions of this bridge may be partly realized by n few comparisons. Thus its height Is more than twice and Its span more than three times ns great as those of the famous natural bridge of Virginia. Its buttresses nre 1 IS feet farther nport than those of the celebrated ma sonry nreh In the District of Columbia known as Cabin John bridge, a few miles from Washington city, which has the greatest span of any masonry brldgo on this continent. This bridge would ovorspan tho eapltol nt Wash ington nnd clear the top of the dome by flfty-0110 feet. And If tho loftiest treo In the Cnlaveras grove of giant sequoias In California stood iu the bot tom of the canyon Its topmost bough would lack thirty-two foot of reaching tho underside of the nreh. This brldgo is of white or very light sandstone, and, as in the enso of the Caroline, filaments of green and orange tinted lichens run bore and thero over tho mighty buttresses nnd along the sheltered crevices under the lofty cor nice, giving warmth nnd color to the wonderful picture.

Wherein Hawthorne Wna Akla to the Melancholy Dane. Certain characteristics of Hawthorne lie, of course, Indisputable, and It Is lot fantastic to add that some of these (utilities bear 11 curious resemblance to :hose of that very I'rlnce of Heumark irho seems mine real to us than do Host living men. Hawthorne was a font Ionian; iu body the mold of form, mil graced with a noble mind. Like Uamlet, he loved to discourse with un lettered people, with wnnderlng artists. Mill local humorists, nlthough without iver losing his own dignity nnd Inviola ble reserve. Ho had Irony for the pre tentious, kindness for the simple heart Id, merciless wit for the fools. He liked to speculnte about men and wom en, about temptation and sin and pun ishment, but he remained, like Hamlet, Clear sighted enough to distinguish be tween the thing In Itself ami the thing is It appeared to liltn Iu his solitude I ml melancholy. His closest friends, like Horatio Bridge and William L. I'lcknor, were men of marked Jus tice nnd sanity of mind of the true Horatio type. Hawthorne was capable, If need be, of passionate nnd swift no tion, for nil his gentleness anil exquisite Courtesy of demeanor. Towurd the lust he bad, like Hamlet, bis forebod ings "such a kind of gain giving us would perhaps trouble n woman" mil ho died, like Hamlet, in silence, conscious of an uiillnlshed task. Bliss Perry In Atlantic. Ileaann For Mnrrylnir. They were talking about a friend of bers who had married a bishop sta tioned in Kamchatka or Timbuktu or lome other heathen laud. "I never could understand why sho married him," said tho young woman. "She seemed the last girl ou earth to marry a bishop. She cared so much more for having It good time than she did for church work and sewing cir cles." "Girls nre pretty wise nowndays," aid the young mnn, "and they general ly have a good reason for marrying the way they do. A girl friend of mine married a doctor so she could always be well for nothing, and maybe this girl married tho bishop so she could be good for nothing." New York Trib une. The Traitor's Stone. A curious specimen of tho famous Traitor's stono of Koine is still pre served in England. It is a large round piece of sandstone, much of the ap pearance of a millstone, with u few apertures which mnke it bear a faint resemblance to the human face.
