A remarkable incident is that of a Scottish youth who had learned at home to sing the old psalms that were | then as household word3 to them in j the kirk and by the fireside. When j he grew up he wandered away from | his native country, was taken captive i j by the Turks, and made a slave in one j < of the Barbary states. But he never j forgot the songs of Zion, although he ! sung them in a strange land and to heathen ears. One night he was solacing himself in this manner, when g the attention of some sailors on board of an English man-of-war was direct- m ed to the familiar tune, “Old Hun- . dred,” as it came floating over the J moonlit waves. At once they surmis- | ed the truth that one of their country- J men ,was languishing away his life J as a captive. Quickly arming them- J selves, they manned a boat, and lost | no time in effecting his release. What | a joy to him, after eighteen long 'j years passed in slavery. -3 NO MONEY IN TRANSLATION. 2 Little Demand for the Best Works 2 of Foreign Authors. “Translating Is an art,” said an f instructor at the university. “Car- . lyle translated some fairy tales from the German, and these tales from ^ Tieck and Musaeus are examples of | English prose as beautiful as the heart could desire, Swinburne trans- J lated Villon, and so did Rossetti, who “ gave us, furthermore, paraphrases of d the Italian poets that equal the origi- * nals in charm. That is the test of d translation—that it shall equal in | beauty the original—and I think 4 there should be a law requiring every a great writer to translate at least one 4 great book. But our good men can’t | afford to make translations; the pay is too miserable. It is impossible to | get for translating a novel of 125,000 4 words more than about $250. There * is only $2 per 1,000 words, and there 4 is no living in it at such figures.”— J Philadelphia Record. 4 -...—..— i< “Old Wine” Theory Exploded. 4 There is hardly a man who does * not believe that the old wine is the ^ best wine, yet a short time ago some 4 cases of claret were sold in London jS at $25 a bottle, of the famous m “Comet” .vintage of 1811, and the , wine was found to be utterly worth less. It was simply worn out with a£e. Wine experts and wealthy con noisseurs had come from great dis tances to buy the wine at any price, and were edified upon opening it to find it was as flat as soda water. In the same way, not long since, a quan tity of hock from the cellars of a country house, of the year preceding Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow, fetched $20 per bottle, and was found to have lost everything except color. Buenos Ayres’ Great Docks. The first thing that strikes you on landing at Buenos Ayres is its docks, which extend for five miles along the river front, says St. Nicholas. They were built by an English firm, and were completed in 1897. They are most solidly constructed, supplied with numerous modern steam cranes and are brilliantly lighted with elec- . trcity at night. They cost the city I and nation seven million pounds " sterling, or $35,000,000. So great is . the amount of shipping, however, that not the docks alone, but the small river Riachuelo is crowded with ves sels. Indeed, one wonders how a ship, once entered, can ever manage li to get out. t: - j, High Prices for Antiques. ^ Old furniture collectors in this city ^ have lately been driving prices higher a and higher. The rage for Chippen dale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. '> Even dealers are paying in some I cases as much as $50 for a single s: Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A col lector in this city paid tho other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are ^ sold every day for $40, $50 and $100. J* —New York letter. Lots of Work for Idle Hands. IxDud and urgent are the calls from Vvestern farms and orchards for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and tho garnering of the fruits. But too many idlers, tramps and beggars in our cities, and in the country regions also, turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to earn honest and comfortable livings. The vagrant spirit, tho "dead-beat” 1 desire to get along without working, j is too conspicuous everywhere.—New j York Tribune. How She Signed the Check. £ “I sometimes think that if I had c my way in the matter I would make it a law that women should not have 4 bank books," said the tired-looking r cashier. "Some of their mistakes , would put a sensible schoolboy to shame. Among the checks handed in to me to-day was one for quite a £ large amount which the woman who drew it out had signed ‘Your loving ‘ Carrie.’ ” ■ - t Before Rome Was Founded. In one of the tombs recently ex cavated in the Roman Forum a vase was discovered, tha inscriptions on t whieh show that it bakings to tho - twelfth century before Christ, or 400 ■ years before the reputed date of the ‘ founding *f Rome. Signor Beni, the J director of the excavations, believes the tomb to be a relic of a city which existed and had disappeared before • Rome was founded. .
