Quotation Guest Rooms.
A young matron on Long Island, who
is having her spacious country home
decorated over for the season, has con
ceived a novel idea for her guest rooms
which will solve the difficulty of seem
ing favoritism in the distribution of
rooms. She has selected quotations
atom well known authors, had them il
lumined and hung on the doors of the
various rooms. In her guest book
there are corresponding quotations and
before any of the members of a, house
party are shown to their rooms they
must make a selection of a quotation
and write their name beneath it From
lis choice or quotation tne room is ae
termined and the guest finds the words
on his door. Here is one, for instance,
that she has hung on the door of a
room done in wistaria blossoms: "To
spend in all things else, but in bid
friends to be miserly." All this pro
motes jollity and good fellowship
From time to time, the hostess de
clares, she will change the quotations,
for guests who come frequently soon
would learn what romos to pick and
this would give an unfair advantage in
the game with newcomers.
The Picture in Disguise.
Of tbe strange vicissitudes through
which many of the world's famous pic
tures have passed, perhaps none was
odder than that of "the Picture in
Disguise," a magnificent painting that
now adorns the residence of Lord
Leigh In Warwickshire, England.
This remarkable picture for man)
fears appeared to be merely a paint
ing of flowers. The floral study was.
however, finally pronounced by an
astute art dealer to be in reality 1
mask for another painting. With the
permission of the owner he caused the
painting or nowers graauauy to oe o
moved, whereupon there was dlscov
ered underneath a very fine portrait ol
Charles I. by Vandyke.
While no authentic record of thli
masterpiece has been found, it is sup
posed that the portrait was disguisea
by -some royalist in order to guard
against its destruction by roundheadt
during the revolution. The Sunda
Magazine.
Curing by Sympathetic Magic
"A friend of mine came across a na
tive sitting in the veranda of a house
from which groans proceeded," Mr. E.
Thurston stated at the British Royal
Society of Arts in a lecture on the na
tives of southern India. "He learned
that the man's wife was sitting on a
swing studded with sharp nails in or
der to cure him by sympathetic magic
of some trifling ailment"
Trout for ritish Colonies.
Britishers are the first colonizing
race and the most resolute sportsmen
in the world, so that it was natural
that British colonial waters should
have been the first scenes of experi

HE WAS A WONDERFUL JOCKEY
Charles Taylor Rode His Last Race
at Age of 96 and Was Model
Man.
Charley Taylor, veteran horseman,
died this winter at the age of 103. He
had made White River Junction, Vt,
his home about fifty years. He loved
horses as a boy in Canada, sold and
handled them there and in the, states
and finally became a well-known
driver on the racetracks of both coun
tries. It Is estimated he won 70 per cent
of about 1,700 races, says the Ver
monter. He knew what his horses
could do in any event, was always
with them, even slept with them. He
rarely carried a whip, but urged them
by a word. He "never abused an ani
mal to have that come up against
him."
He was thorough in trifles. His
habits were regular and exemplary.
He was always In condition. It was
his quiet boast that he never lost a
meal, never had a cold or a doctor,
never took a glass of liquor or used
tobacco, never used an oath or shook
dice. He never married. His last race
was at the age .of 96.
As a centenarian he drove exhibi
tion half miles at fairs, and even last
October at the state fair resented
proffered assistance when alighting
from the Bulky. His mental and physi
cal activities were surprising to the
last He did tbe chorescared for the
garden and hens.
He would rarely sit down, and al
ways kept busy, saying: "This is
what saves a man. Work to eat work
to sleep. If a man can't sleep he'll
wear out." A four weeks siege of
pneumonia carried Mr. Taylor off at
last, though the attending physician
says he was out doors every day dur
ing the time and seemed recovering
until a relapse the day before his
death.
CLOCK HANDS 20 FEET LONG.
Made of Bridge Truss Design, ol
Manganese and Bronze, and
Weighs 1,700 Pounds.
On the building of a clock company
in Brooklyn just now are to be seec
the largest hands that have ever beea
made for a clock. They are destined
for the tower of the Metropolitan Life
building.
Fourteen feet from the center pia
to the tip Is the length of the minute
hand, and there is six feet of counter
poise, making a hand 20 feet over all
The hour hand is 11 feet long.
In making a sweep around the circle
the minute hand passes three stories
of the building. When one of tht
hands is in front of a window it is
necessary, for those working within tc
cease work, owing to the hand com
pletely shutting out light.
These hands are made of manga
nese and bronze, and are of bridge
truss construction. They weigh more
than 1,700 pounds. '
Over the hands there is a covering
of wireglass which will allow of ilia
mination. Through each hand there
are 24 electrical'tubes, in pairs. When
the hands are illuminated it is esti
mated that it will be possible on s
clear night to. tell the time they mark
at a distance of 24 miles. They wil.
be about 400 feet above ground level
There is to be a clock on each ot
the four sides of the tower. There
will be a 7,000-pound bell, with a ham
mer weighing 170 pounds, and four
smaller bells .to strike the West
minster chimes. New York Herald.

CHURCH SERVICE WAS BROUGHT

of the Wirt).
An entire church service by tele
phono, listened to by the parishioners
within n radius; of ten miles of ther
parsonage, Is the brand-new idea in
Sunday worship worked out success
fully by n New England pastor. Not
only was the sermon delivered over
the wire, but the violin music and
hoir selections were also duly given.
Rev. Newell C. Maynard of Tom
fret VL, is the clergyman whose
novel plan promises V And many fol
lowers. In the town of Pomfret, among the
hills of Vermont Sunday morning
broke with a midwinter blizzard.
Three feet of snow had already fallen
and the darkened sky gave no signs
of withholding the rest of its hoary
burden.
"To me, as minister of the village
church, it was evident that this was
a good day for people to enjoy the
comforts of their own fireside. But
how to reach these people in such &
storm and give them the practical
benefits of a Sunday service in their
own homes this was the question
which I set myself about to answer.
"I had it! Almost every home with
in a radius of ten miles had a tele
phone. Why not preach over the
wire? Accordingly I called up my
deacons and made my propositions to
them. They were so pleased with the
novel idea that they at once said:
'Go ahead!'
"I then called up central and asked
permission to have the switch thrown
open on both lines. Next I called up
my violinist Marvin Whipple, and re
quested him to be ready with a. violin,
solo, and finally .asked Lester Clifford
to be prepared for two selections of
sacred music for the phonograph. I
gave the order of service to my violin
ist and phonograph operator, and
Deacon A. P. Clifford called up the
parties on the line and requested all
who cared to listen to the service to
take down their receivers at 11
o'clock. "
"When the hour arrived I took
down my receiver and calling the roll
of all the parties on the line, said
simply:.
"'We will commence our morning
service with a selection by the male
quartet Then the phonograph placed
before the transmitter rendered 'Rock
of Ages' in clear male voices. I then
read the Twenty-third Psalm. Next
followed Handel's 'Largo, played be
fore the transmitter as a violin solo
"Having completed my brief ser
mon, I said: 'We will close our serv
ice with another selection by the mal6
quartet' Whereupon the service was
concluded by the singing of 'Nearer,
My God. to Thee. "
Youthful Elopers.
The youthful elopement in Dickens
pretty story was duplicated in real
life the other day, when Jesse Yeakey.
aged four years, and Annie Theresa
Unterfashberger, aged three years,
left their respective homes In Port
land, Ore., and wandered down town
hand In hand, intent on getting man
ried. The course of true love never
did run smooth, however, and the lit
tle romance was spoiled by Patrol
man Riley, who met the tots in the
heart of the business district. The boy
was much abashed by the man in uni
form, but the girl lisped out theh
plan to get married and visit a moving-picture
show. When taken to th6
police station, where their frantic
parents were waiting, there was a
scene. "No," screamed the little girl,
breaking into tears as her mothei
started to take her away, "Annie wants
to stay and marry Jesse."
Point of Law.
In a small southern town two roust
abouts got into an argument about the
ownership of an opossum. During the
disturbance Sam assaulted Remua
with a paving stone and in due time
was brought before the bar of justice
Sam, in the meantime, had engaged
the services of a rising young lawyer
"We have, heard the evidence," sala
the young attorney at the trial, "and
I think, according to Blackstone, my
client is innocent"
It was then that Remus arose and
rubbed his bandaged head dolefully.
"He may be innocent, sah, accordin
to Blackstone," he said, seriously
"but according to dat cobblestone he
am guilty."
And the judge thought the same and
Sam was convicted.
On a Pass.
It was during a tedious ride on a
western railway, and the passengers
tired, dirty and thirsty, all berated the
company, with the exception of one
single man. His fellow passengers
commented on this, and asked him why
he did not denounce the company, too
"It would be hardly fair," he replied,
"as I am traveling on a free pass; but
if they don't do better pretty soon,
blamed if I don't go out and buy a tick
et and join you." Harper's Magazine.
He Needed Them.
"What with whooping cough, measles
and all that," began the first traveler
"children are a great care; but they
are blessings sometimes "
"Certainly they are," interrupted
the second traveler. "I don't know
how we should get along without
them."
"Ah, you are a family man, too?"
-No; a doctor." Tit-Bits.

Luxuries.
Luxuries are those possessions
which are enjoyed chiefly and almost
solely because other people do not
have them. All other possessions are
necessities. If every one were a
Standard Oil magnate, it would be an
Insufferable bore, and it is getting to
be almost that anyway. Luxuries do
not connote comfort. On the con
trary. they connote litter, indigestion,
gout and lassitude. Comfort comes
only from necessities. Life.
Wisdom in Old Adages.
"Strike when the iron is hot" and
keep it hot by striking. "Take time
while time is, for time will away,"
the English say. The Spanish proverb
has it: "When the fool has made up
his mind the market has gone by."
The old Latins said: "Opportunity has
hair in front, behind she is bald; if
you seize her by the forelock, you may
hold her; but if suffered to escape,
pot Jupiter himself can catch her
again."
Interesting Analysis of Snow.
The London Lancet once made an
analysis of London snow on a week
day and on a Sunday. The Sum'.r.y
snow showed roughly a fifth of the
amount of impurities present in the
weekday inow. But the most signi
ficant difference was that while the
weekday s-now contained as much as
2.36 grains of sulphuric acid in ten
pounds the Sunday snow contained
practically r.onr.

Where Lake Erie Got Its Namt.
Lake Erie took its name from a
tribe of Indians, of Iroquois stock
known as the Eries, who lived in the
western part of New York state and
on the south shore of the lake. Henry
Gannett, an officer of the United
States Geological Survey, and chair
man of the United States Geographic
board, in his "Origin of Certain Place
Names in tbe United Staees," give&
the following: "Erie, one of the
great lakes, from erie, erike, or eriga.
meaning 'wild -cat,' the name of as
ancient tribe on its borders."
