BrLtlsli Muspnni Dome.

»f!-e Tile reading room of the Bvitisli nuifseum is L'i'OAvnwl by :i sp.ioions dome, -,v*bich is about thirty foot wider than 'that ol' St. rani's cathedral. It is 140 loot in diamotor and. with its (J0.000 -superficial 1'eot of ulass, springs more than 100 feet in height. Neither St. Peter's at Koine nor Santa Maria at Florence is a match to it. It is larger by forty-live 1'oet than the dome of the cnpitol at Washington, by thirty-five feet than that of Darmstadt cathedral, by thirty-three feet than that of St.

Sophia, Constantinople, and spreads sixteen further than the concave roof of the tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah at Bijapur.

fs? The II'III Who Is In Eurnest. The vital necessity for the qualities of inspiration, reality and maunetism •was brought home to me when 1 was a schoolboy liddling at college functions. I saw speakers who came forward and •who—well, just spoke so many words. Then would come an orator, a man who acted the part, who lived the part, who •was the part because he believed it. and so swept the people off their feet.— J. P. Sousa in London Interview.

One Occupation Les«.

A visitor at a small resort on the coast, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, asked one of the ruen whom he saw at the village store what he did all summer. ^si i"Loaf and fish." replied the native. "-\yiiat ,j0 yOU (jo in tlio winter?" continued the inquiring visitor. "We don't lish!"

His Prescription Failed. Doctor (after the diagnosis)—Apparently your system is run down from nervousness superinduced oy loss of sleep. My advice would be for you •to try sleeping on you if. left side awhile. Fair Patient—But, doctor. I am slightly deaf in my right ear—and my husband talks in his sleep.—New York Times.

Everybody Feefs It.

The increased cost, of living due to the Republican policy of exorbitant tariffs, is felt in every home in tba land. Housewives know that because, for example, of the beef trust, meat costs from 3 to 10 cents a pound more now than it did formerly workingmen tnow that their clothing costs mora because of Republican high tariff taxes mechanics know that the tools and implements of their trade cost more than they should, or would, cost but for Republican policies business men know that the typewriter for tvhich they must, pay $100 costs onlr $55 when sold to a foreigner railroad men know that American steel 78.ils are sold in Japan for $18 to $20 ft ton. while from American railroads the steel trust extorts $28 a ton—in Bhort, the Republican tariff system !P devised, not as falsely claimed to protect labor, but to enable certain huga consolidated institutions, known as trusts, to bleed the American people. 13y pooling interests at home the trusts eliminate domestic competition, and there is no foreign competition because of the high tariff taxes im« posed by a Republican Congress and •nforeed by a Republican adralnlstr*

Qualities Unlike In the Sexes. "A .urn is a man down to his thumbs and a woman is a woman down to her little to«s,"' writes I)r. Ilavelick Ellis in his book ''.Men and Women." Ttyere is hardly a measurable quality of any sort which is not unlike in the two sexes. Women even button their garments on the other side from that chosen by men and choose Sunday instead of Monday as their favorite day for making way with themselves. So far ag laboratory tests go Dr. Ellis says that women are unquestionably superior in general tactile sensibility and -probably superior in the discrimination of tastes, with no advantage either •way in the case of the other senses. "Women have better memories, read more rapidly, bear pain better, recover tetter from wounds and serious illness, are less changed by old age and live longer.

A Shot From Behind.

One of the most interesting features of the tragedy in 1859, in which King Kamehamcha IV. shot his secretary, Mr. Nelson, arises from the manuer in •which the monarch fired his revolver. It is said that both men were in a room alone and were drinking beer. The king walked over to a mantel above which was hung a large looking glass. He toyed with a revolver for awhile, his back to his victim, and then, taking note of Nelson's position at the opposite side of the room by means of the mirror, he pointed the revolver over his shoulder and fired, the ball striking the secretary with fatal effect—Pacific Commercial Advertiser.

gherldan'M Lips "Were Sealed.

Among the great wits who have been members of parliament probably none was quicker to seize upon an opening than Sheridan.

At one time, when he was a member of the opposition led, by Fox, the practice of buying votes was having an alarming effect upon Fox's supporters. The individual responsible for this was the secretary of the treasury, one John Robinson, and vast sums of money were squandered by him upon this nefarious traffic.

At length Sheridan could stand it no longer, and, rising in his seat, he one day delivered so passionate an impeachment of the system that the whole house rose as one man, with loud cries of "Name, name, or withdraw!"

This wits a position for which Sheridan had scarcely bargained, for none knew better than he how invidious a thing it would be to publicly identify the individual with the deed. At the same time, so strongly did he feel upon the point that nothing short of his innate good breeding restrained hin from taking the plunge. Then his kindly mother wit stepped in and saved him. "Centlomen," said he, "were it not that respect for the traditions of this house seal my lips. I could name thai gentleman as easily as you could saj 'Jack Robinson.' "—London Mail.

si Seeking Safety Iu Numbers. Dr. R. J. Baldwin, secretary of ths Southern Educational conference, patted a little Mobile colored boy on the head. "This little boy." he said, "failed in an examination last week. It was an examination on the Bible, and the first question the teacher asked was, 'Row many commandments are there?' "The little boy thought awhile, anf then he answered, 'A hundred.' mini "'A hundred! No of course notsaid the examiner. 'That will do fo you.' "And the little boy went out sadlj. He had failed. "But lie hung about the building, and in a half hour another boy appeared. He was on The way to the examination too. He asked the boy who had failed what qviestions had been put to him and the unhappy failure answered: 'The teacher wanted to know how many commandments there were. What will you say when he asks you that?' 'I'll say ten,' was the reply. "The boy who had failed JaugheC loud and long. 'Ton!' he cried. 'Well, just try hi™ with your ton. I tried hiin with a hun dred and he wasn't satisfied.'"—-Cm clDuati Emjv/h'er

e^ss The Robin and the Rat. One day while a gentleman of Porthallow, St. Keverne. was walking past a farm in the neighborhood he was attracted by a robin, which flew about him, flapped its wings in his face some two or three times, and appeared greatly excited and distressed, lie watched the robin for some time, and followed it toward a hedge a short distance away. There he found a rat which had got into the bird's nest and was devouring one of the young birds. At the sight of the gentleman the rat jumped out and was promptly knocked senseless. When the robin saw the rat lying on the road she flew at him and pecked him viciously. There were four young birds in the nest one was killed, but the other three were unhurt.—St James' Gazette, wm

Testing :i Razor.

1

The economical young man took his razor to one of the best barbers in town to be honed. Returning to get it, he found it ready for him. "I'll warrant that edge," said the barber. "It does look pretty sharp," said the man, and he began to feel of the edge with his thumb. "But I won't warrant it if you do that," declared the barber. "It's the worst thing jrou could possibly do. You might better cut your nails with it than run your linger across the edge once, or shave with it for a month. There's nothing like knowing a thing or two," the barber added.—Exchange.

Disraeli's Gorgeous Costume. When Disraeli was a young man he once went on a vacation trip to Corfu in this extraordinary costume: "A blood red shirt with silver buttons as big as shillings, an immense scarf foi girdle, full of pistols and daggers, red cap, red slippers, broad blue striped jacket and trousers. His servant, engaged for the occasion, wore a Mameluke dress of crimson and gold, with a •white turban thirty yards long and a saber glittering like a rainbow."

Ancient Preservation of the Dead.

Herodotus gives a good description of the manner in which the early Ethiopians preserved their dead. Having thoroughly dried the corpse, they plastered it over with a paste made of gypsum and then painted the face and exposed parts so as to make them look as natural as possible. Dead bodies served in this manner remained intact for hundreds of years.

A Strnncc Recipe For Acting:. Perhaps the most striking instance of voluntary hallucination is that recorded by an intimate friend of the actor Talma. Langlois states that the great tragedian told him that whenever he entered on the stage he was accustomed by force of will to make his brilliant audience disappear and to Substitute for them a house full of skeletons. The emotion which tbes«ghastly creatures of his own imagination excited served, he declared, to give additional force to his own impersonations.

N O E O E S O N E N A N TRAVELER. I Pew newspapers in the United States are able to command the services of as brilliant a corps of correspondents as that of the a or a I choice of a correspondent is indicative of The Record-Herald's policy of obtaining the best there is to be had. Walter Wellman, the well known author on political subjects and one of the ablest writers of the day, acts in that capacit}'.

Mr. Wellman was born in Mentor, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1858. At the age of 14 he began his newspaper experience, establishing at that age a weekly paper iu the little town of Sutton, Neb. In 1878 he returded to Ohio and a year later established the Cincinnati Evening Post. In 1884 he became the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Herald and in 1892 he visited Central America and the West Indies and located the landing place of Columbus on Watling's (San Salvador) Island, and marked the spot with a huge stone monument. Mr. Wellman's dashes for the north pole are well known. In 1894 he made the first of his two Arctic voyages of exploration, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he returned to the North, penetrated to Franz Josef Land, returning again to this country in 1899. On each trip he met with wonderful success in the discovery of new islands and lands, and brought back with him scientific data and information of great value to the American Geographical Society.

Mr. Wellman has been a voluminous writer tor scientific magazines and ,popular periodicals. On returning from his arctic trips he renewed his connection with The Record-Herald and is now the ^Washington correspondent of that paper. His incisive discussion of contemporary affairs has given him a high place in the regard of statesmen and scientists of the
