When William Penn wan asked by

Quaker's own nanio as tho proper ono
for tho vast territory that owed ItB
colonization and development to him.
Tho king was not offended, but oldcd

Tho fumlly namo of Hlatliwayt be
came extinct through tho marriage of
tho solo aon of the lino to a wealthy
MIsh Winter, who restored tho fallen
fortunes of the HlathwaytB on condi

Lions and Leopards in the Zoo Were
as Delighted With It as Is the
Domestic Cat.
A curloiiH InvestlRfitor and a few
BprlgB of cntnlp led to an nmusing
scene at tho zoo In Cincinnati.
Tho tlRerfl nnd pumn, scornfully re
fused to notice tho herb when It was
presented to them by the keeper, but
the Hon, the IIohosh nnd tho big leop
ard were boisterous In their manifes
tations of pleasure. Tho lion planted
a foot upon It, smcllcd it, licked It,
sprawled upon It nnd tossed it about
In waya unbecoming his kingly dig
nity. The leopnrd picked It up In her
hugo paw, took lung and ecstatic
sniffs nnd rolled oor and over ttpou.
It In the exuberance of her delight.
In her efforts to apply It to the upper
part of hor head alio performed aero-,
batlc feats of an astonishing kind.
From his experiment the investigator
was satisfied that lovo of catnip is
not confined to the domestic branch
of tho cat family.
' Approaching a Walled City.
After tho drab outskirts of Pisa, tho
Marcmma and the dykod road, I gain
ed Casclnn, n walled, arcaded town at
tho limit of the Vlco Fisano, gray,
within a red husk of wnlls, inexhausti
bly picturesque; then mine I'onte
dent, walled again and with each n
thrill. That is a thing 'ou may count
uponthat flutter of expectancy and
its full reward whenever you approach
n wnlled town by road. Hy road, ob
serve, but not otherwise. Seen thus,
tho wall must be negotiated: you must
pass through the gates with other
wayfarers. A wnlled city Is like ft
veiled bride. What Is ono about to
cmbraco? There are no gradations,
no Btraggllng lino of suburbs to water
down tho type before you reach tho
heart. The truth Is (lashed upon yuu,
plump and plain. You leave tho fields,
you clear tho gates hero 1b Casclna,
here Pontedora for good or 111. From

Contemplation as a Part of Life.
We are in sucli haste to be doing,
to be writing, to bo gathering gear, to
make our voico audlblo a moment in
the derlslvo silence of eternity, that
we forget the one thing, of which
these are but tho parts namely, to
live. We fall In love, we drink hard,
wo run to nnd fro upon the earth
llko frightened sheep. And now you
are to ask yourself If, when nil Is
done, you would not have been better
to sit by tho fire at home, and be
happy, thinking. 'lo sit still and con
template to remember tho faces of
women without dosirc, to be pleased
with the groat needs of men without
tiny, to be everything and every
hcro In sympathy Is not this to
know both wisdom and virtue and to
dwell with happiness? From Robert
Louis Stevomon'B "Walking Tours."
