painting, conceived a violent aversion
to commerce and seized every oppor

up to his room to copy drawings. His
employer was very dissatisfied with
him and complained to' his father, who
reprimanded him severely. At last one
day the young man did not go to busi

follow his vocation, even if it brought
him misery. Seeing that nothing could
alter this decision, "Very- well," the
father answered. "I will give you 1,200

In the first meeting of Kean, the great
tragedian, and the woman who was to
bear his name. It was on the stage of
the Cheltenham theater that Charles
Kean and Miss Chambers, a pretty
young actress, first saw each other.
"Who is that shabby little man with
the brilliant eyes?" Miss Chambers
asked in the hearing of the king of the
stage. "And who," Kean retorted by
asking aloud, "Is that odd little wo
man?" From this singularly inaus
picious opening Kean's love drama
proceeded so swiftly that before a
month had gone the curtain was rung
down at the altar.

When a Chinaman swears to tell the
truth he kneels down, and 'a china
saucer is given to him. The following
eath Is then administeredr "You shalL
tell the truth and the whole truth. The
saucer Is cracked, and if you do not
tell the truth your soul will be cracked
Ike the saucer," when he breaks tin
saucer. Other symbolic variations ol
the Chinese oath are the extinguishing
ef a candle or cutting off of a cock"
head, the light of the candle represent
lug the witness soul and the fate ot
the cock symbolizing the fate of a
perjurer. x
In certain parts of India tigers' -an'
lizards' skins take the place of, ,th
Bible of Christian countries, and" tin
penalty of breaking the oath is that
m one case the witness will become
the prey of a tiger and in the othei
that his body will be covered with
scales, like "a lizard.
In Norwegian courts of law the pre
aide" to the oath proper Is a long
homily on the sanctity of the oath and
the terrible consequences of not keep
tog it When the witness Is duly
crushed by the sense of his fearful re
sponsibility the oath is administered
while he holds aloft his thumb and
fore and middle fingers as an emblem
of the trinity.
In an Italian court the witness, wit
his right hand resting, on an open
Bible, declares, "I will swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth'." The Mohammedan takes
the oath with his forehead reverently
resting oh the open Koran. He takes
his "Bible" In his hand and, stooping
low, as if in the presence of a higher
power, slowly bows bis bead until it
touches the book which to him is In
spired. In certain parts of Spain the witness
when taking an oath crosses the thumb
of one hand over the forefinger of the
other and, kissing this symbolic. If
primitive, cross, says. "By this ernes I
to tell the trutn."

Perhaps it Is more Interesting than

They are larger from noon until twi

to noon; they are smaller Ib winter
than in summer. Low temperatures, as
well as high, promote evaporation. The
trees evaporate from their branches hi
winter, and so the colder the weather
the more they shrink.

Hicnt It by Scett.
Byron in the third canto of "Child
Harold" describes n thunderstorm In
Switzerland which occurred at mid
night on June 13, 1S1U. lie notices the
awful stillness which precedes It:
All heaven and earth are still, though not
In sleep.
But breathless.
until
From peak to peak, the rattling cr&g
among.
Leaps the Irve thunder!' Not from one
lone cloud.
But every mountain now hath found t
tongue.
And Jura answers, through her misty
shroud.
Back to the joyous A!?s. who :all to her
aloud!
The description Is too long to quote,
and, indeed, too well known, but Sir
Walter Scott's criticism on it may not
be so well known. He says:
"This is one of the most beautiful
passages of tbr poem. The 'fierce and
far delight' of a 'thunderstorm Is here
described in verse almost as vivid as
Its lightnings. The live thunder 'leap
Ing among the rattling crags,' the voice
of mountains, as If shouting to each
other, the plashing of the big rain, the
gleaming of the wide lake, lighted like
a phosphoric sea, present a picture of
sublime terror, yet of enjoyment, often
attempted, but never so well, certainly
never better, brought out in poetry."'

The application was banded back te
