Fata of Dubois, Who Dupod Louia XIII. and Richelieu. There have been many alchemists who claimed to be able to make gold from the baser metals. A strange adventure in this connection was that in which the dupes were per sons of no less importance than Louis XIII., king of France and Navarre, the Cardinal Minister Richelieu and Francois du Trem blay, Father Joseph, called “the gray eminence.” This was in the seventeenth century. The “alchem ist’s name was Dubois. He was an ex-Capucin monk, a contemporary of Father Joseph, and he informed the latter he had the secret of man ufacturing gold. At that particular moment the cardinal was short of funds for his own persbnal use as well as that of the king. Father Joseph induced the cardinal to be lieve that Providence had sent a man, a maker of gold, to help him. The cardinal, who as a rule was pretty wide awake, was on this occa sion blinded by his necessities. Ho consented that Dubois should be al lowed to experiment in the pres ence of the king and queen ana the assembled courtiers. In his record, “Tableau de Paris,” Mercicr gives the sequel to the story. A royal carriage was dispatch ed to fetch Dubois, his powders and his furnace and bring them to the Louvre, where in one of tho gal leries the highly interested wit nesses were awaiting results. Du bois lighted the furnace and in a loud voice said, “May it please his majesty to command his soldiers to f ive me twelve musket bullets and will turn them into gold.” The bullets were handed over to a court ier, who cast them into a cupel. Dubois added a few grains of a cer tain powder, covered the whole with cinders and placed it over the light ed furnace. In an anxious half hour’s time Dubois exclaimed, “The gold is made!” Louis XIII. per mitted no one but himself to blow away the burning hot cinders. But he blew so hard that the onlookers were smothered with them. Every one cast a look at the bottom of the cupel and exclaimed, “There is gold!” Every one was joyfully astonish ed. The king embraced Dubois and knighted him offhand, and the court ier who handed over the bullets was rewarded with a gift. On the suggestion of the queen the gold was assayed. A goldsmith was sent for, who declared that it was 18 carat gold, the mint standard of the coin in circulation. But no one was much impressed by that ac- cusable fact. Dubois was at once commanded to supply 800,00U livres’ ($160,000) worth of gold every week, which he undertook to produce as soon as an adequate in stallation had been erected. He ob tained the funds required for the purpose, but delayed, with vain ex cuses, its realization. The cardinal lost patience, grew angry and final ly had the monk incarcerated in the Chauteau of 'Vincennes. He was convicted as an associate of the criminal “Union de Saint-Sulpice.” On July 25, 1637, Dubois was hang ed.—Chicago News. The Mediterranean. The evaporation from the surface of the Mediterranean is much great er than in the Atlantic ocean, owing to the heat coming from the African deserts and the shelter which the high mountains afford from the north winds. It is in consequence of this fact that its waters are salter than those of the Atlantic. It is a mistake to suppose that the Mediter ranean is tideless. In the Adriatic as well as between that sea and the coast of Africa the tide rises from five to seven feet. They War* Mad* by th. Ancient Ra mans and Egyptians. It is not exactly known when and where artificial eyes first came into use. But this much is certain, that in ancient times Egyptian and Ro- fnan priests, who practiced medicine and surgery, could make artificial eyes as well as artificial hands, arms and legs. In Egypt they knew this art as early as 500 B. C. The method of these eye manu facturers was very simple. In the midst of a flesh colored piece of cloth, one and one-half to two and one-quarter inches in size, a piece of clay of tho natural size of the hu man eye was attached and so paint ed over as to represent tho eye and its lid. This piece of cloth was fix ed over the socket of the closed eye by means of an adhesive substance. However primitive these eyes, they were highly valued and were worn by the Egyptians and Romans. An eye of this kind was found in the ruins of Pompeii. Tho first known mention of mod ern artificial eyes—i. e., eyes worn within tho socket—is contained in a rare illustrated work published by the French surgeon Pare in 1561. Pare invented throe kinds of artifi cial eyes. The first consisted of a thin metal band placed around the head of the wearer. One end was provided with a small oval plate covering the socket, tho other end being fastened to the back of tho head. The plate was covered with soft, smooth leather, on which an eye was painted. Parc’s second in vention consisted of an enameled hollow golden ball in the shnpe of an eye worn within the socket. Tho third was an eye in shape like that worn today, but made of gold and enamel. These eyes were, of course, very costly, and only the wealthy could afford to avail themselves of them. Later eye* were made of porce lain, which, on account of their cheapness, soon became very popu lar. Glass eyes were invented in 1579. Already in Shakespeare’s time they were the finest products of primitive manual skill. Still, compared to them, the glass eyes of today, though manufactured by me chanical means, are veritable works of art.—New York Tribune.

"Well, it ain’t so very fer, nor it ain’t so very nigh, an’ yit it ain’t as nigh as might be if it wa’n’t so fer as it is. Still, it’d be ferther if it wa’n’t so nigh, so I reckon one might say that it is betwixt an’ be tween for an’ nigh.”—Kansas City Newsbook. A Fair Offer. A Scottish preacher, who found his congregation going to sleep one Sunday before he had fairly begun, suddenly stopped and exclaimed 1 : “Brethren, it’s nae fair. Gie a mon half a chance. Wait till I get alang, and then, if I’m nae worth listening to, gang to sleep, but dinna gang before I get commenced. Gie a mon a chance!”—Dundee Adver tiser.

Must Ba Conaistent. In one of the police courts tho other day there appeared before the magistrate a certain old Irishwo man who has been a continual of fender for years, her besetting sin being the flowing bowl. The court failed to treat her as an old ac quaintance until she calmly an nounced her age at thirty; then he stopped her. “See here, Mary,” he said, “you’ve been coming here for ten years, and all that time you have given your age as thirty years. I won’t stand it any longer. Why do you do it?” “Sure, your honor,” was the quick reply, “I wouldn’t be after telling you one story at one time and an other next time. ’Twouldn’t sound right.”—New York Globe. Origin of tho Doily. From the name of Robert D’Oy- ley originated the word doily. A grant of land was given to him in the reign of William of Normandy on condition that he should give yearly a tablecloth of at least 3 shillings value at the feast of St. Michael. According to the custom of tho times, the women of his fami ly were skillful with the needle and felt great pride in embroidering their “quit rent tablecloths.” In time these cloths came to be valua ble and were used as napkins at the royal table. They were called “lYOyleys.” Tha Odor of Sanctity. When in days gone by one honor ed in the church died it was cus tomary to burn sweet smelling in cense in the death room as a token that the memory of the dee was grateful to God and man. early as the time of Homer it was customary to wash the bodies of the more illustrious dead with rosewa ter, and in Egypt the practice also obtained from an early date; hence the expression “the odor of sancti ty-” » .
