The causes of loss are few. Fire Is tbe mast common. Ben Jenson by tbe fire In his bouse lost an entire drama of the life of Henry V., with notes, and a number of other works. The fire of London was respon sible for the loss of many valuable works of tbe Elizabethan period and of much early English poetry. A severer blow to lovers of Anglo-Saxon litera ture was tbe burning of the Cottonian library In 1731, when a vast quantity of old manuscripts was destroyed. Iu 1752 by a fire in Lincoln’s Inn Fields a large collection of manuscripts and pamphlets, gathered with great labor by Lord Chamberlain Somers, was lost. About tbe same time- Davies’ notes on Cicero’s "De Offlclls” were loBt by a fire in Strand, London. Tbe second great cause of loss Is the ocean, whose “greedy maw’’ swallows all kinds of treasure so remorselessly. Early in tbe fifteenth century Guarlno Veronese was returning to Constanti nople with a shipload of classical man uscripts. The vessel was wrecked and the treasures lost, a misfortune which- turned tbe scholar's hair white In a few hours. Our own Spenser suffered seri ous loss by shipwreck of a servant crossing from Ireland.. The last six books of tbe “Faerie Queeno” and a number of translations and poems, In cluding “Dreams,” “The Court of Cu pid" and “The Hell of Lovers," were thus consigned to a watery grave. In 1600, on tbe death of Vlncentlo Plnelli, his library was packed in three vessels bound for Naples. One was attacked by pirates, who flung out the books and papers Into the sea and along tbe shore, some of the latter being picked up by the,Inhabitants and used to stuff windows with. Toward the close of the last century a servant of Warbur- ton came across a unique mass of man uscript plays, which she used up in lighting fires and making pie crust frills. And everybody remembers how a domestic of John . Stuart Mill con signed to the flames a part of Car lyle’s “French Revolution." The hor ror of MU) at tbe loss and tbe “agony 1 ’ of Carlyle in rewriting the work are now matters of history. A very curious loss was occusloued In Italy iu the fourteenth century when Itaimondo Sornuzo lonned the manuscript of Cicero’s “De Gloria” to a friend, who pawned It and died be fore Its hiding place could be discover ed.—London Telegraph. Paradise Myths. Paradise opinions seem to owe much of thell- 'popularity to peculiar local flt- uea&. The Inhabitants of the Kongo basin believe that pnradls,e is a “valley of peace," where good spirits float about continually engaged in catching mosquitoes and thus protecting the sleep' of kings and great men who are In a perpetual slumber. Tbe Inhabitants of the hot, sandy, sbndeless desert island of Botocu im agine paradise to be a land of cool streams, shaded by gigantic forest growths. It may -be well to mentlob In this connection that the heaven ideas of all desert dwellers pictures a thickly wooded hereafter. The Yokoots of eastern Siberia be lieve that heaven will be a country provided with ready lighted fires and many blubbering kettles and fish oil. When the Rev. Claps Hausen, a Nor wegian missionary, was picturing heavou to an Eskimo the savage flatly refused to embrace Christianity be cause. according to bis idea, tho here after should, provide plenty of tcc. snowsboes and sen monsters. aiming the Pilzen. Before tile year 1031 English colus were simply, pieces of metal stamped by driving a die down on them with a hammer. In the days when money had a much greater Intrinsic- value than It ha -. now this offered n great temptation to coin clippers, and mutilation of the coinage became such a serious offense that men were hanged and women were burned for It. So far (lid the mutilation go that when Sir Isaac Newton was appointed master of the mint In 1093 It was calculated that the silver coins in circulation only averaged about half .their legal weight. The practice of milling wns first adopted In Frnnco. when n screw press invented by a Frenchman was used. Tbe first milled coins were mndo In London In 1031. but the old stamped coins were still Issued, and It was not until 1090 that unmllled coins ceased to be legal tender. The cost of making tbe milled coinage uni versal and so putting n stop to clipping wns £1,200.000. It was to meet this ex pense that the window tax was levied. —London Graphic. -sip -tsm nV Windows, Doors, Blinds.
