Alf Taylor and His Brother, Bob, Con tested for Gubernatorial Honors in Tennessee. It was back In '86 that Alfred A. Taylor and his brother, Robert, were rival candidates for the governorship of the good old state of Tennessee, the former as a Republican, the latter as a Democrat. It was at this time that Robert Taylor made his famous Qddling campaign, and earned the nickname of "Fiddling Bob.” In those days a Republican stood about as much show of election to of fice in Tennessee ad a balloon has of sailing to Mars, so the Democratic brother and his Hddle were victorious in the race. Alfred’s defeat was as glorious as 'was Bob’s victory, however, for he ALFRED A TAYLOR. was now free to accept the greater honors that were coming his way. In spite of the supposed preponderance of Democratic sentiment, he was twice elected to represent his state in, the national congress, and was ac corded other high honors at the^hapds of his admiring countrymen. Their political contests being over, the brothers toured the country to gether in the roles of "Yankee Doodle” and “Dixie,” presenting a patriotic program, the like of which, for grand eur, sublimity, eloquence and pathos, has never been known before or since. It is"well known that one of the broth ers was a southern sympathizer, while the other favored the north; but, as one admirer put it, after listening to their program: “One is forced to ad mit that the bloody chasm which we have been taught to believe exists be tween the north and the south is only a little brook after all.” Alfred A. Taylor is one of the most interesting characters in our national histoid and will bring to our Chau tauquit goers an inspiring message in his lecture, “Passing of the Sword.’ Ocean Musician*. Apart from the ordinary risks of sea travel, one of the most comfortable po sitions on a big ocean liner is that of a member of the orchestra. True, the pay is not high, but it is considerably Increased in Various ways. Four and a half'hours’ work dally is all that is required by these makers of melody; but, of course, they have rehearsals and sometimes learn several new pieces In the course of a voyage. The play ers are booked as passengers on every trip and take their meals in the sa loon. On the first two days'of a voy age they are not very popular, but on the third day, when seasickness ef fects are wearing off, there is general ly a lot of appreciation for the band.— London Answers. Matthew Arnold and the Girls. Of Matthew Arnold as a school ex aminer a tale is told by a'fellow in spector of a class of girl pupil teachers that be asked Arnold to examine for him. Arnold gave them all the excel lent mark. .. "But," said the other Inspector, "surely they are not all as good as they can be. Some must be batter than otb era.” "Perhaps that is so,” replied Arnold "But then, you see, they are all such very nice girls." Professionally Considered. “The Declaration of Independence is a wonderful document,” said the patri otic citizen. "Yes,” seplled the legal expert “It’s one of the ablest documents I ever saw. And the most remarkable thing is that With all the ability It represents, no body appears to have received a cent for drawing it up.”—Washington Star. Present Troubles. “Ah, pretty lady,” said the fortune teller, "you wish to' be told about your future husband?” "Not much,” replied Mrs. Galley. “I've come to learn where my present husband Is when he’s Absent.”—Phil* dinTnoTon SHIPBOARD." Different* Now From What It Waa When Dickons Visited Us. When Dickens came over to America some seventy odd years ago there was one large table in the dining room for the passengers. The first officer sat at the head, carving the turkey with all the grace'he could command between lurches of the good ship, trusting to Providence that the gravy would not slop over. The passengers bent their plates along the line and waited for ; their helpings. Today the dining room of a large ship looks like the dining room of a fine hotel. It is Just as exquisitely ap pointed and has every good thing to eat that can be found on land. In fact, one of the new ships has a res taurant named after a famous one in New York, and the two keep in touch by wireless so that the menus, day by day, are the same. Think of having your dinner arranged by wireless— your macaroni by Marconi! The dining room is divided up Into a number of small tables, so that you can have your own partyr'With only half a dozen of you, with your own waiter, Instead of sitting at a long ta ble and passing your plate, as Dickens did. The development of the wonders of cold storage has done more than any other one thing to make life on the ocean wave one long round of Joy. Cold storage gives you the best in the world to eat and every day of the year. A world traveler was telling me the other day that he had eaten grape fruit every morning all around the world.- The ship on uiiicb he sailed put in a large amount of ice cream made in New York, and 110 days later, when he arrived in San Francisco, he was still eating New York ice cream.— Harold Christie in Leslie’s. ROBING THE BRIDE. Early 8axon Customs and the Advent of the Flowing Veil. In the old days, as now, the bride generally dressed In white. From early Saxcn times down to the eighteenth century a bride of the poorer classes came to the wedding arrayed In a plain white robe nB a public warning that since she brought nothing to the mar riage her husband was not responsible for her debts. -» Brides soon began to add some little touch of color. Blue was for constan cy and green for youth, but In ySome places these might not be used be cause of feuds btetween families having these tints In their liveries. Yellow might not be worn, as It stood for Jealousy; golden might not. i as It meant avarice. The Anglo-Saxon bride went to the wedding with her hair hanglrfg loose as a sign of freedom, but upon reach ing her new house immediately bound it up as a sign of submission. In the days of Shakespeare the veil began to take the place of the flowing tresses, but this, however, was not original with the British, for centuries earlier the Roman and Hebrew brides had worn yellow veils, while the early Christians of southern Europe bad en yeloped both man and wife in one large cloth. Whatever was lacking, however, in gorgeousness of dress was compensat ed among all the nations by the pro fusion of flowers chosen for their sig nificance.—Uncle Remus’ Magazine. Heroulaneum and Pompeii. Pompeii was burled in ashes or light scoria, while Herculaneum was en tombed In lava, which, after cooling, hardened Into a material of the con sistency of marble, and we thus have the explanation of the fact that while the first city has long been unearthed the latter is still largely covered with Its ancient lava shroud. Excavations are constantly going on at Herculane um, and the work will In all probabil ity continue to the finish, but it is not likely that any especially important re sults will accrue, since the life of the two cities was practically the same.— New York American. Rational Love. "The rational rather than the ro mantic view of marriage la the one most In fasor with the young people of the twentieth century,” said a well known eugenics expert in an address .In Cleveland. “The rational view will make for hap pier marriages. And this rational view Is beautifully Illustrated In two ques tions—a little dialogue—running thus: •“Will you always love me?* “'Will you always be lovable?*"— New York Tribune. Antiquity of the Census. The Idea of the census Is almost as old as history Itself. King Amasls of Egypt took a census of his people 600 years before Christ The Athenian s6 lon established a census for the pur pose of facilitating taxation. We learn that about 44S B. 0. Servius Julius took a census of Rome. During the chaos of the dark ages the census dropped into oblivion, but was re vived again about the beginning of the eighteenth century. DIsoretion. "Now, Mike, you must forgive your enemies.” "Ughl” "Do you object to that?” "Not altogether. There’s some of 'em I might as well forgive. I ain’t big enough to lick ’em.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. The Usual Way. Dorcas—Won’t your meeting be very late if all the members are going to take part In the debate? Mrs. Dorcas —Why, no, dear! We’ll all speak at once^-Judga. ^PERFORATED COINS '' ** Unols 8am Triad Them Several Times, but Without Success. Perforated coins were never In fa vor in the United States, though vari ous efforts were made to popularize them. Me first United States coin with a perforated center was a gold dollar issued in 1849, which had a square hole in the middle of the plancheh It was the forerunner of the gold dollar Issued by the United States mint In 1849. The coin was engraved, not struck from dies. The next United States coin with a perforated center was issued from the Philadelphia mint In 1850 and was of the denomination of 1 cent It was about the size of the bronze cent now in use. At that time the large, old fashioned copper cent was In general circulation, and the perforated coin re ceived the name of “ring cent" The designer reasoned that by means of the perforation the cent could* be dis tinguished by touch from tbp dime. Another perforated cent issued the same year showed two rings In the field with the words, “Cent One-tenth Silver." The reverse showed an olive wreath around the perforatloi nd the words, “United States of America." The mint authorities undertook to design a coin that would answer all requirements, and the pieces were struck with both pierced and perfect centers in silver, copper, nickel and composition metal, six varieties in all, without counting the various metals, but none of the designs was favored by the government authorities, and consequently they were never put in general circulation. The only gold half dollar ever pro duced at the United States mint was struck In 1852. It had a perforation In the center, and the obverse showed a wavy circle around th6 perforation, with the inscription. “United States of America." around the border. The re verse was blfmk. The coin wus ex actly half the weight of the dollar. Regardless of the generally accepted idea the gold fifty cent pieces with which the public Is familiar Were not an issue of the United States, but were manufactured by California jewelers. There has not been any attempt to in troduce the perforated coin In the United States since 1884. In that year two pieces of the denominations of 1 and 5 cents were Issued at the Phila delphia mint—Harper’s Weekly. Turkish Names. On our visiting list are Mrs. Hya cinth, Mrs. Tulip.'THrs.

Wild Schemas of Dinooratea. The most remarkable proposal ever made about Mount Atbos was that of the architect Dlnocrntes. His plan was to cut It Into the shape of a gi gantic statue of Alexander the Great, holding In tluvight hand a city, In the left a tnnk that was to receive all the waters of the region. .Alexander was much taken with the scheme. But it was eventually rejected on the ground that the neighboring country was not fertile enough to feed the Inhabitants of the projected city. A nother of Dinoc rates’ plans was n temple to the wife of King Ptolemy pf Egypt, with a roof of loadstones that would keep an iron statue of her floating in the air. Ths Earth’s Shadow.
