The Kind of a Man He Waa.
“I was in Washington once,” said a
man at the club, “when Tom Reed was
the czar of the house of representa
tives. He was holding forth with ear
nestness on some theme to a group of
friends when that man you see over
there by the cigar counter p ashed his
way through the crowd, grasped Reed
by the hand and said effusively: ‘Hollo,
Tom, old boy! How do you do?’
“Reed responded in a manner that
was more of a b.hke for the man
than for his hand and went on with
his talk. When our friend over there
had edged out of the crowd, someone
said: ‘You didn’t seem to he happy
over him, Reed. Who is your friend,
anyway?’
“Reed drawled out, ‘He’s a fellow
from New York who knows more men
Who don’t want to know him than any
other man in the United States.’ ”—D
troit Free Press.
Thrifty Sqnanderen.
When Napoleon entered Genoa In
1805, the rich patricians of the city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of the conqueror by fall sorts of flat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was a banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
garden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the prog*
ress of the feast. At the conclusion of
the banquet—again in imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra—all the costly golf
and silver plate was flung into the see.
This little tribute of honor to the enr
peror was not so expensive as it seem
ed, for the floating garden was sur
rounded with nets, and the plate waf
subsequently recoveijpd.

THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS, FRIDW, DECEMBER tf, 1903.
Fonrth Century IkarAtai.
That shorthand was used In the an
cient world is well known, but our in
formation is still scanty, and any ad
dition is welcome. It may therefore
be worth knowing that there is in the
Armenian “Acts of St. Callistratus”
a reference to the employment of ste
nography. A translation of this Is In
cluded In Mr. F. C. Conybeare’s "Ar
menian Apology and Acts of Apollo
nius and Other Monuments of Early
Christianity.” The account of Cal
llstratus was probably written in the
first half of the fourth century. It in
cludes several long addresses of Calli
stratus to his fellow soldiers in espla
nution of the mysteries of the new
faith l’or which he and forty-nine of
his comrades became martyrs. Per
haps with a view to giving them au
thority as verbatim reports, the. com
piler says;
“But there was a certain scribe of
the law court who was nenr to the
prison, and he listened to the discourse
of Callistratus, and he wrote it down
In shorthand on paper and gave it to
us, and we set in order with all ac
curacy the record and outline of his
thought”
Thackeray’s Facial Appearance.
In 1849 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte
wrote of Thackeray: “To me the broad
brow seems to express Intellect Cer
tain lines about the nose and cheek be
tray the satirist and the cynic: the
mouth indicates a childlike simplicity,
perhaps even a degree of Irresoluteness
in consistency—weakness, in short, but
a weakness not uuamlahle." And Mr.
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858,
said: “I believe you have never seen
Thackeray. He has the appearance of
a colossal infant—smooth, white, shin
ing, ringlety hair, flaxen, alas, with ad
vancing years: a roundish face with a
little dab of a nose, upon which it is a
perpetual wonder how he keeps his
spectacles.”
This broken nose was always a source
of amusement to Thackeray himself.
He caricatured it in bis drawing, he
frequently alluded to It In his speech
and in bis letters, and he was fond of
repeating Douglas Jerrold’s remark to
him w hen he was to stand as godfather
to a friend's son, “Lord, Thackeray, 1
hope you won’t present the child with
your own mug!”

PICTURESQUE BRiTTANY.
4 Market Scene In This Quaint
French Province.
Brittany is a land where the peasants
till the earth in zouave trousers, torea
dor jackets covered with arabesque
embroideries and green waistcoats
around which run lines of crimson.
The women wear short red skirts,
great mediei collars and coifs that flut
ter about their heads like the wings of
doves. From beneath the points of
their black caps the children gaze at
you with wide eyes full of the curiosity
of animals.
These people live in houses built of
Sculptured granite and sleep in open
work closets carved like the moucliara
bieks of Egypt.
In spite of the "Breton Interiors” and
“Returns of the Fishermen” with
which painters swamp the market this
race is still unknown or misunder
stood, for they should he seen not in
paintings, but U their homes. In their
old time streets, on market days and
when, in fair time, the tents are pitched
In the village market places.
Fiery little horses draw to market
fish, One vegetables and all the early
produce of Roscoff. They are spread
out upon the sidewalk. Chickens'
cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the
leg, strain toward the vegetables, sniff
ing at the fresh greens.
Farmers in sabots, carrying great
blue umbrellas under their arms, with
the two ribbons of their felt hats float
ing down their hacks, pick their way
among the Dinan china displayed on
the ground—capacious soup tureens,
cider jugs and plates covered with
painted flowers and grotesque figures.
The peasants converse with but few
gestures; they bargain in guttural
tones.
These taciturn people forget them
selves in the barrooms on fair days.
The taverns are full of noise. You
may hear the sound of an accordion
and the plaintive note of the biniou (a
Sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous
dances.
Into the hnrbor come boats laden
with fish; other boats go out. The !
fishermen are full of business. Next i
week will occur the departure for the :
new country. There are women who j
weep.
Above all this agitation the smoke of
the village chimneys mingles with the I
treat white clouds. The quiet sea mlr- 1
rors the sun.—Artist Castaigne In Can- J
tury.

Many years ago ome admirer; Of
Lord Byron raised r subscription f r i

quested to execute .t, but on account
of the smallness of the sum subscribed
be declined, and Thonvaldseu wai
thou applied to and cheerfully under
j took the work.
In about 1833 thq_linished statue ar
rived at the custom house in London,
but, to the astonishment of the sub
scribers, the dean of Westminster, Dr.
Ireland, declined to give permission tc
have it set up In the abbey, and, ow!ug
to this dittieulty, which proved insur
mountable, for Dr. Ireland’s successor
was of the same opinion, .it remained
for upward of twelvt years in the cus

A Model Surveyor. i
The Kingman Leader-Courier tells of j
an early day couuty surveyor In King
man county. Ivan., who neither pos
sessed any Instruments nor could-have
used them if he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with a cord that was just
long enough to allow him to step one
tlftk of a rod each time, aud thus hou
hied he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him la
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader-Courier, was made or raw
hide, so that when he was traveling
through the grass of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
aud stretch nearly a foot, aud so his
steps were much longer ot a morning
than they were of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having ids land surveyed in the mom
lag would have much more in his
quarter sectiou than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon
These old surveys and corners then es.
tublished cause annoyance even to this
day.
