Rowe is In the absurd condition of possessing u monument which the mu- nicipal authorities declared nonexistent, Long, long ago a monument was raised to the phllosophee Spedalierl, but never unveiled, as there was a difference of opinion about ilio advisability of hav- ing the monument at all. So through sun and rain, wind and hail, the poor statue stood, swathed in its dingy drapery, an eyesore and object of de- rision to all, Finally, in the dead of night, to put an end to the scandal and disputes, the pollee stripped off the old and rotten cloth, and it the morning the Bterual City found herself enriched by the ownership of a new work of art. The citizens laughed and crowded to see what had become a curiosity, but the city fathers were furious, said the po- lice had overstepped their powers and -absolutely refused to acknowledge the existence of the monument. Florence has had a similar experi- ence. A tablet to Gustavo Modena. in his day a celebrated actor and still more celebrated patriot, bad been at- tached to the house in which he lived. But the ahthorities refused tq allow it to be unveiled for fear of provoking an anti -Austrian demonstration. just as in these days when public feeling is in a state of effervescence. Day after day passed until the students made a sud- den dash, and, stripping orf the cloth, added another interest to the City of Lilies. The municipality here also was highly offended and informed the citi- zens that the tablet does not exist. All this irresistibly raises the ques- tion, "When is a monument not a mon- ument?" When it is in Italy!—Pull Mall Gazette. THE USE OF IRON. Its Effect In the Industrial World as a Barometer of 'Trade. There is an old industrial tradition that the iron market is the "barometer of trade." This saying has been as- cribed to many modern • authorities, ranging from Jay Gould to Andrew Carnegie. As a matter of fact, it is much older than any oracle of this cen- tury or the last. It had its origin in the earliest clays of the period when iron manufacture and the use of credit were simultaneously rising to impor- tance. The basis for the tradition is that tate use of iron and of its products is essential for the prosecution of vir- tually all other industries. Before the output of miscellaneous manufactures in a community can be much enlarged the industries concerned must be equip- ped with new *Dols and new machinery. Before a railroad system can be pre- pared to transport a greatly increased traffic it must have new rails, new bridges, new stations, new care and new locomotives. In these days of the steel and iron office building a "boom" in the building trade cannot b far without increasing enormously the de- mand for structural iron. Even in the agricultural industry it may be said that expansion and prosperity involve necessarily largely increased demand for farm machinery. Since the use of such additional equipment must pre- cede any increase in the business of these other trades it naturally follows, first, that demand in the iron market will be felt aggressively even before the other industries have shown full meas- ure of activity, and, second, that if such other industries foresee a period of slack demand and idle mills the first thing they will do *'.ill be to reduce their orders from the iron and steel mills.—Alexander D. Noyes in Forum. Disgusted. Amos Cummings of New York used to tell this story of his first assignment as a newspaper reporter: He was sent out to write up an accident where an Irish hodearrier was injured in a fall from a building. He arrived just as two officers were assisting the injured man into the ambulance. "What's his name?" asked Cummings of one of the officers, at the same mo- ment pulling out his pad and pencil. The Irishman heard him and, mistak- ing him for the timekeeper on the joD, exclaimed, with a look of disgust cov- ering ering his face: "Isn't it trouble enough to fall three stories without being docked for the few moments I lose going to the hos- pital?" Would Have Walked Too. They tell this story in the commis- sioner's office at Ellis island: Two Irish immigrants just arrived stood one morning on the government landing watching a dredger at work a few yards away. Presently a d. ; er, full rigged, crawled painfully from the channel slime up a ladder to the deck of the dredge. One of the Irishmen, very much surprised, turned to his com- panion and said: "Look at that mon! Look at him! Begorra, if I'd known the way over I'd Walked tool" A Nice Light Business. "Oh, yes, I've opened an office," said the young lawyer. "You may remem- ber that you saw me buying an alarm Block the other day." "Yes," replied his friend; "You have to get tip early these mornings, eh?" "Oh, no. I use it to wake me up when it's time to go home.". The Photographer's Good "Work.

A LARGE BOTTLE. 25o. TOLEDO BLADES, Those of modern Mnlce Not Compar- able With the Ancient Ones. Toledo blades are still made in the government weapon factory, but those of, modern production do not compare with tl:e ancient work. It seems to be a lost art. The genuine Toledo blades, made by the Moors, were so elastic and tough that they could be curled up like a watch spring. You can see them in the armory at Madrid, but only ordi- nary swords and bayonets for the army are made there today. The secret seems to have been forgotten. The steel came from England. It Is the same as is used for ordinary purposes, and, as in Japan, where the art reach- ed an equal degree of superiority, the difference in the product lay in the skill of the armorer and the process he used. 'In the secondhand shops of Toledo and of the bric-a-brac dealers you can buy old swords for reasonable prices, but genuine ones, made before the six- teenth century, when the best were produced and the art began to decline, are very rare and are promptly pick- ed up by connoisseurs whenever they are offered. The names of the old mak- ers are as well known as those of the painters of great pictures, and a sword made by Nicholas or Dune or Don Isio or Correnties in the fourteenth and fif- teenth centuries is worth several times its weight in gold. Each armorer of Toledo in ancient times, as in Japan, had his cipher, which is to be found on his blades, and there was as nrnch rivalry among them as there is today among the opera sing- ers. Julian del Rei, the most famous of the 1lloorish sworclmakers, always cut the figure of a dog on the blades of his swords near the hilt, and Mor- rkllo, who was also famous, used a wolf for his coat of arms. The sword - makers of Toledo had a guild for mu- tual protection, but they worked sepa- rately. Each had his own secrets for refining and tempering steel, which he concealed from his rivals, but trans- mitted to his children, who inherited the business. PICKINGS FROM' FICTION..

You should not eat meat for break- fast, for meat should only be eaten at a time when complete rest can be taken. if you fool the need of meat eat eggs Instead or nuts. You should eat a well cooked cereal, but know this: The cereals which can be cooked In three minutes are hardly worth the eating, because they have so Ilttic nourishment In them. Oatmeal that has been cooked several hours is very good. half cooked oatmeal. is so poor :t food that it is almost a poison. Cornmeal must also be well cooked, too, if it Is to do its best work for the hu- man body—and soul. And If you will eat bread for break- fast eat the German zwieback, crisp rolls or brown toast. IIot bread and cakes clog your system and will make you cross and uncomfortable before noon. Coffee could be a healthful drink if it were properly made and not boiled un- til it is bitter with tannin. Clear cof- fee, one cup of it, may have no ill ef- fects on your nerves. Coffee, with cream, one cup or two cups, will make you bilious. But, whatever else you eat or drink, eat fruit and a great deal of fruit, for breakfast. If you want a fruit tonic drink the juice of an orange and half a lemon. If you want fruit for a food eat apples or bananas. `Or if these do not agree with you eat apple sauce, cooked prunes, cooked canned fruit. WHY HE DID NOT GET ON. Ile had low ideals.

Instances of great intelligence in horses are almost as numerous as the horses themselves. but there are few which make prettier stories than this, related in La Nature by a Parisian. At Vincennes, in my childhood, he writes. my father had two spirited horses of fine blood. One day while one of them, i'runelle, was passing be- tween two walls with my little sister on her back the child slipped and roll- ed between the horse's feet. Pru:ielie stopped instantly and held one hint foot in air. She io'iined to fear to lower that foot lest she should step on the child. There was no room for the horse to turn nor for a Iran to pass In that uncomfortable position, with lifted foot. however, the horse stood patiently while an attendant crawled between her forefeet and rescued the child. Field's finishing Touch. Eugene hield was once visiting the house of RichardRichardHenry Stoddard in New York. During the evening a cer- tain well known physician dropped in. He was a serious man and a bit pomp- ous. The talk turned on diet. "Doctor," said Stoddard, "I've heard that you eat two eggs at breakfast every morn- ing • the year round." "No," said the doctor emphatically. "Nn. On the con- trary." "On the contrary." cried Stod- dard. "What's the contrary of eating two eggs?" "Laying two eggs," came in deep, solemn tones from Field.

Psychologists may 11ud au interesting field for °nvestigatiou in the intellec- tual processes tient are involved in rap- id shorthand writing. There are at least live distinct mental operations carried on continuously during verba- tim reporting. First, there is the sensa- tion of squad received by the ear; see. ()wily, there is the perception by the brain of the word uttered, practically simultaneous with the sensation in the ease of a distinct speaker, but often delayed a large fraction of a second when a preacher "drops his voice" or a witness in court has a foreign accent. In the third place, the stenographer niust analyze the consonantal structure of all the less common words in the sentence, all except the stock words and phrases, which he writes by word signs by a practically automatic habit. Fourth, these relatively uncommon words must be put on paper according to the principles of the system employ- ed. This one operation involves many subordinate and Infinitely swift efforts of recollection, association and decision, Fifth, all these mental operations are carried on while the pen or pencil is from two or three words to an entire sentence behind the speaker—this, of course, in rapid speaking—thereby com- plicating the situation by compelling memory to keep pace with attention. In other words, while the scribe is writing the predicate of one sentence and analyzing an unfamiliar word in the subject of the next, be is at the same time giving his auditory attention to the predicate of the second sentence then being uttered by the speaker. This is impossible to an untrained mind. The average educated person cannot re- tain more than perhaps six or eight words of the exact phraseology of a speaker at one time. The competent stenographer can hold up ten, fifteen, twenty words or even more in his mem- ory, while at the same time taxing his mind by the act of writing the words that preceded.—The World Today.
