“ DESERVED THE LEGACY. The Gift Left by the Old Turk Was Properly Bestowed. A Turkish story runs that, dying, n pious ma* bequeHtlied a fortune to his son, charging liim to give £IOO to the meanest mini he could find and £IOO to the most foolish. The most foolish man is another story. As to the meanest, accounts agreed that it certnMi cadi filled the bill. Accordingly the dutiful sou offered him £IOO. '‘But I can’t take your £100,” said the cadi. “I never knew your father. There was no reason why be should leave me the money.” ‘‘lt’s yours all right,” persisted the mourning youth. “I might take it In n fictitious t- ansactlou,” said the cadi, relenting. “Suppose—l’ll tell you what I'll do. I'll sell you all that snow in the courtyard for £IOO. The young man agreed, willing to be quit of his trust on any terms. Next day lie was arrested, taken before the cadi and ordered to remove bis snow at once. As this was a command the young man was utterly unable to execute, he was fined £2O by the cadi for contumacy. “At least.” the yonng man said ruefully as he left the court, "father’s £IOO went to the right man.”—New York World. RUSSIA A DANCING NATION. And Red Is the All Pervading Color ot the Real Native. “Red is the obsessing color of the real Russian. His word for beautiful is ‘preskrasnee.’ ” says n writer, which means literally ‘very red.’ A peasant girl in gala dress is red from the scurf on her head to her blight red boots, often relieved only by the white blouse, on which again is red embroidery. The snow white steps of state in the Kremlin are called the ’red stairs’ as a tribute to their beauty and with no suggestion of their color “Russia is not barbaric. It is simple and childlike, whence its enormous charm. And it is a dancing nation: the dances are national, unique and quite unorientul. Peasants may be seen in their log built villages dancing away until they almost drop from fatigue. The Russian dunce is full of vitality, spontaneous and strenuous; the eastern dance is restrained, suggestive and sometimes sinuous. “Itnssian literature is supposed to be consistently gloomy. Os course there is a tendency to depression, but it would be equally correct to assume that German literature consists only of classical annotations and scientific treatises.”—Chicago News. Insulated Wires. To keep electricity in the wires, to prevent it from escaping, which it is always trying to do. the wires have to be bandaged up in some substance through which the electricity cannot penertate. This is called insulation A wire is said to be insulated when it Is wrapped in nonconducting covers. Dry hair is the best material; next rank glass, mica, porcelain, rubber, lava, oils, silk, cotton, etc. The wires used about ordinary buildings are insulated with robber, oils, varnish and dry cloth. Some of the smaller wires, for electric bells, de., are merely covered with closely woven silk or cotton threads. The best known conductor of electricity Is silver, but it is too costly to be used commercially. Copper ranks next and is generally used for electric wiring.—New York World. Did Hsr Work at Night. Mrs. Catherine Gore, who wrote seventy novels between 1834 and 1861. worked on a strange plan. When J. R. Planche visited Paris in 1837 he found Mrs. Gore living in the Place Vendome writing novels, plays, articles for magazines—almost every description of literature flowing from her Indefatigable pen. He says: “ 'How do you manage it?' I asked her. *1 receive, ns you know, a few friends nt dinner every evening. They leave me at 10 or 11. when I retire to my room and write till 7orß in the morning. Then I go to bed till noon, when I breakfast, nfter which I drive out and l>ny visits, returning nt 4to dross for dinner. As soon ns my friends have departed I go to work all night again.* ” Fats of Marshal Nsy. ItNiaa been maintained by many that the famous Marshal Ney. whom Napoleon called the "bravest of the brave.” was not executed, ns history makes him out to have been, but sueceeded. by the help of fdcuda.
