Jas. Chapman Writes of Travels
CONTINUED FROM last week
The legends that are told you by '
tlie guides are extremely interest- |
ing and as 1 have told the name of
the founder of Rome, I might recite
one of the legends as to his origin.
His grandfather, fearing the chil
dren of his brother might revolt to
his usurpation, caused his only son
to be murdered and made his
daughter, the mother of Romulus,
a vestal virgin and compelled to
live and die unmarried. This vir
gin, however, by the God of Mars
became the mother of twins. She
was accordingly put to death be
cause she had broken her vow, and
her babes doomed to he drowned in
a river nearby. This river, the Ti
ber, overflowed its hanks and the
cradle in which the babes were
placed was stranded and overturned
on the root of a wild tig tree. They
were discovered by a she wolf and
carried into her den and she suckled
them, and when they wanted other
food a wood-pecker, a bird sacred to
Mars, brought it to them, They
were aftenvaads discovered by the
king’s shepherd. So it would seem
from this that Moses was not the
first babe to he found in the reeds
and Elijah not the first to he fed by
birds.
This legend goes to prove that or
igin is not so essential and that
man’s destiny lies in his own
hands.
W hile in Naples I went out to
Pompeii and visited the old ruins
of this lava covered city. Much of
this lava has since been cleared
away, rev--aling the walls and IVnn

“That’s not the way to open a can of

“Why, what other way is •there?”
asked the neighbor.
“Well, you take the can of corn and

Diamonds to Lampblack.
You may purchase equal quantities
of carbon for 5 cents or a million dol
lars. A bargain hunter might Invest
a nickel and get a package of pure
lampblack. The million would secure a
blazing diamond, easily turned into
lampblack; not so easily—intense beat
would be required. However, coal
and wood are really more valuable
than diamonds. They surrender life
giving beat, while the only use so Un
discovered for diamonds is to cut
glass, and for this carborundum is a
good substitute. All diamonds in ex
istence could be annihilated without
loss to mankind; but. then, to vapor

Mystery of tho Egg.
An egg for one thing is a succession
of bags, bagged up in one another, a
series of envelopes enveloped in one
another, bags and envelopes without
joints, seam 3or openings. Puzzles,
ships buiit up and full rigged in bot
tles, flies in amber, are simply simplic
ity itself as puzzles when it comes to
how these bags wrap one another up.
bag in bag. In a lien’s egg there are
eight or nine or ten of the sacks in
sacks ensac-ked. Everybody thinks he
knows what an egg is, and after weary
reading and study in many languages
he only begins to learn that nobody
knows a tiny fraction of all the world
of secrets and mysteries hidden in an
egg. “As full of meat as an egg” is
not the true comparison, but “as full
of mystery as an egg” Is nearer the
truth. Eggs are the greatest puzzle in
all nations.—New York Press.
No Cause For Worry.

anils were caughl by this death deal
ing flow from Vesuvius. In the
Museum can he seen mummies of
once human beings. I also visited
the mouth of the crater of Mt. Ve
suvius which was reached by the
cable ears. This famous old volca
no is still sending forth a vapor la
den with sulphuric fumes.
From Naples I sailed for New
York via the Mediteranean and Gi
braltar reaching my point of desti
nation two weeks later, where the
land seemed greener and the villas
along the New Jersey coast more ar
tistic and cozy than any I had seen
on my long journey home.
The ti ip across was not lacking
in excitement, as twice we encoun
te?bd terrific winds and were forced
stop the machinery on account of
our boat plunging so. Three deaths
occured affording us more fortunate
passengers the opportunity of wit
nessing the solemn sight of a burial
at sea. Taking into consideration
that we had in the neighborhood of
three thousand passengers, fifteen
hundred of which were Italian im
migrants, our death rate was re
markably low.
1 must say in conclusion that my
travels abroad and my knowledge
of other countries makes me a more
loyal American citizen and I can
now appreciate our dear old land of
liberty as never before.

“Truckwalkers oft-’.l have the same
impulse to step on the third rail that
climbers have to jump. You walk
along and soo that shining rod of steel
and watch the sunlight glisten on It.
and then the thought comes to yon,
‘lf I step on that it will kill me.’ and
then you wonder how it would feel to

The Title “Esquire.” .
The title “esquire” is derived from
the Trench word ecuycr (a shield bear
er) and originated in the old days of
chivalry, when, as is well known,
each knight appointed one or more
persons of gentle Girth to carry his
shield and perform other honorable
services. T-’icse persons wore known as
Squires, or, more accurately, esquires,
and were of such birth as would per
mit ..of their being in their turn cre
ated knights when they should have
merited the distinction by deeds of
valor or otherwise. In the reign of
ltichard 11. the status of au esquire
was granted for the first time by let
ters patent as a title of honor merely,
no duties being attached. This meth
od of creation is now obsolete, but it
marks an advanced stage in the de
cay of chivalry, which decay resulted
in the titles “knight” and “esquire”
becoming wholly honorary.—Pall Mall
Gazette.
A Lazy Man.
A worthy old citizen of Newport
who had the reputation of being the
laziest man alive among “them hil
locks,” so lazy, indeed, that be used to
weed his garden in a rocking chair
by rocking forward to take hold of the
weed and backward to uproot it, had
a way of fishing peculiarly his own.
He used to drive his tea white faced
mare to the spot wnefe The tautog
(blaekfisk) might be depended on for
any weight, from two to twelve
pounds, backed his gig down to the
water side, put out his line and when
the tautog was safely hooked start
ed the old mare and pulled him out.
A Patron.
,r Mr. Carriman is very busy now,”
said the private secretary of the rail
road president “Is there anything I
can do for you?”
“Oh,” replied the pompous visitor,
"Just a friendly caU. I thought he’d
like to know that I ride on his subur
ban branch now. I’m Colonel Nu
ritch.”—Catholic Standard and Times.
