Prof esse r Trombetti, whoso praises ! were so much sung hi the foreign press us knowing the greatest number of languages of any one ever born, relates an anecdote of himself which occurred just after he was “discovered.'’ In Rome ho was so pestered by journal ists that lits patience at last gave way, and when cet.'nered by the gentlemen of the press his language became dis tinctly lurid. One day as be was coming out of the central postolilce a frank looking young man stepped up to him, and, holding out Ids hand, said: “I am so glad to make your acquaintance; I have been trying to find you for days.” "And may I inquire with whom I am speaking'/” “Why, I am X! Not a near relation to be sure, but near enough to offer you congratulations,” etc. Professor Trombetti, reassured, and glad to get hold of sorno one to unburden himself to, took the stran ger’s arm, and, as they went down the street, gave, In emphatic terms, a description of his sufferings, Ids opin ion of journalists, and, Incidentally, much Information about himself which the papers had been vainly sighing for. Finally they parted with an engage ment for dinner the next evening. That night the professor was sitting tranquilly In a restaurant, the observed of all observers, when suddenly he was seen to spring to his feet with a smoth ered exclamation.

From Time Immemorial Three Uua Ilatl Ununual Significance. The perfect number of the Pythago rean system, exprcssivo of beginning, middle and end, was the number three. From time Immemorial greater promi nence has been given to It than to any other except seven. And as the symbol of the Trinity Its Influence has waxed more potent in recent times. It appears over and over again In both the New and Old Testaments. At the creation of the world we find land, water and sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was three days and nights In the whale’s belly, Christ three days in the tomb. There were three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained three angels. Job had three friends. Samuel was called three times. Sam son deceived Delilah three times. Three times Saul tried to kill David with a Javelin. Jonathan shot three ar rows on Dnvid’s behalf. Daniel was thrown into a den of three lions be cause he prayed three times a day. Sliadrach, Meshach and Abcdnego were rescued from a fiery furnace. The commandments of the Lord were de livered on the third day. St. Paul speaks of faith, hope and charity. Three wise men came to worship Christ with presents three. Christ spoke three times to Satan when he was tempted. He prayed three times before he was betrayed. Peter denied him three times. He suffered three hours of agony on the cross. The su perscription was In three languages, and three men were crucified. Christ appeared three times to his disciples and rose the third day^-New York Herald.

Etienne Dumont, writing In the early part of the last century, said: “The prevailing character of the French Is that of conceit. Every member of the assembly considered himself capable of undertaking everything.
