Leaving Sesostris and CJTOS and the other primitive Oriental Bubduers of nationB in the shades of barbarism, as personages not sufficiently distinct to be discussed, the first great conqueror whose achievements constituted a new historic point of departure for the human race was Alexander the Great. His marvelous career of conquest is a luminous track in primitive history; It was Alexander, who put an end to the attempts of Asiatic monarclis to Overrun Europe. He innoculated West­ ern Asia with Greek civilization, and built a city in which the East and West could meet and compare notes. He was not a mere militarist, but a man of the finest intellect sharpened by the best Greek culture. It is sufficient to say that he was the pupil of Aristotle and worthy of such a teacher. He made the civilization of Greece tri­ umphant over Asiatic barbarism, mys­ ticism, fanaticism, and despotism. He established the supremacy of Europe or of the rational western mind over that of the servile, mystical East on a firm foundation. He was accompanied in his brilliant transit Across the vast continent of Asia by Greek scientists, who were enabled to enlarge the bounds of knowledge. No nation ex­ cept the primitive Hellenic nation ever produced two su,ch contemporaries as Alexander the Great and Aristotle, who is still the world's master intellect in the realm of reflective thought. Alex­ ander perished young, but he left a name which resounded throughout the world of his day. So much for the great Greek con­ queror. His conquest!!, beyond a doubt, promoted civilization and enlighten­ ment When he lay dead at Babylon the wags of Athens said that the putre­ faction of the body of such a person­ ality must fill the world with the odor of it Hannibal, the Carthegenian, was perhaps the greatest military leader, the fullest of resource and strategy that ever li^ed. But he did not con­ quer Rome, because the higher powers play with loaded dice and would not suffer the seat of empire to be trans­ ferred from rational Europe to bar­ baric Africa, whither it would have E said, was not permissible by the higher >ne in the event of the final success of annibal. Such a success, as I have Shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may." Europe was foreordained to be the seat of civilization and en­ lightenment, and such it has been hitherto and such it remains to the cur­ rent date. We are an outpost of Europe toward the sunset Possibly the continent of North America may yet succced to the leadership of the human race, which Europe has hitherto held-- Quien sabe, as the Spaniards say. When we come to the name of Julius Ciesar we are told that it is that Of the greatest human being who ever lived. However that may be, there is no doubt but that he was a cardinal historic character. He, too, like Alex­ ander, was a man of splendid intellect, as the schoolboy of the present day knows. It was the genius and inde­ fatigable activity and unparalleled military successes of Caesar which transformed the aristocratic Republic of llome, with its haughty Senatorial oligarchy plundering and swaying the then world at their own will and pleas­ ure, into an imperial militarism. The word "republic," in the sense of a government of the people, by the people, for the people, did not belong to primitive Home at alL It was in effect after the time of Sdlla and Marins governed by an oligarchy of the most despotic, arrogant, and all-absorbing kind. Brutus, the assassin of Caosar, slew him in the interest of the oligarchy, and not at all in the interest of popular liberty. The Roman Senators wanted to keep on enriching themselves at the expense of their world. Ctesar put an end to their sway, and for this men of their order stabbed him to death. But Ciesar cared not to live any longer. He was world-weary and life- weary at the age of fifty, although his genius made him the foremost man of all the world, an intellectual Colossus, indeed, who dwarfed all his contempo­ raries in brains, as well as with sword. Cicero, great as he was intellectually, was cowed in the presence of Caesar. Hence he hated him, and rejoiced at his assassination. But the name of C&'flar ruled the world for centuries. Napoleon the Little, as Victor Hugo called him, dreamed that he was a Julius Caesar, and could revive in modern Europe the antique Roman Csesarism. It was an absurd attempt, and ended in a most disastrous dia- oomfiture. Julius Ctesar was not only a great militarist and civilian, orator, and writer, but he was also Pontifex Maxi- mus, or high priest of the Roman re­ ligion, of his time, which was a mere ritualism. In his speech in the Senate on occasion of deciding the fate of <3atiline, Caesar voted for the exile of that conspirator on the ground that the infliction of death was not a punish­ ment, because, he said, that death was the end of our conscious, individual be­ ing. He thus agreed with the Hebrew Ecclesiastes, who says that there is no knowledge, not device in the grave. Whither we are going. Mohammed, the Arabian prophet, was the only conqueror of the Semitic race. He and his successors quickly overran with their fierce, fanatical legions all Northern Africa and West­ ern Asia, in fact almost the entire seat of primitive civilization, and finally established themselves at Constanti­ nople, from which they have not even jet been dislodged. In fact, all West­ ern Christendom was for a time in im­ minent peril of being Mohaminedan- ized. But this wave of Arabian con­ quest was the only wave of the kind. William of Normandy, named emphatic­ ally the Conqueror, is one of the most impart:*nt military personages known to history. He was not a Frenchman but a Northman. In Normandizing En gland he did great things, for undoubt­ edly the tremendous part which En­ gland has played in the colonization and conquest of the outlying world was due to this Normanization of her popu­ lation. The spirit of the Norman was heroic, while that of the Saxon was of the persistent, dull, plodding sort The commingling of Saxon and Norman made the modern Englishman, with his "secular might" and his morning drum beat encircling the entire globe. We, as a nation, are one of the results of that commingling. Olive and Hastings, the conquerors of India, and Wolfe, the conqueror of North America, or resister of it from the •way of the Frenchman, were exempli­ fications of the Norman spirit ol domi­ nation. Frederick the Great was a greater, because a more permanently successful, militarist and conqueror than Napoleon So&aparte. He created Prussia, and :'J§ effect the present German Empire, and thus put an end to the supremacy of the Latin nations and of the Roman Church of the Continent of Europe. Frederick the Great was a rationalist and an administrator of national affairs such as the world never saw before him and has never seen since. He was a genuine king, and capable of ruling a nation. • ' A Wwkterfal Qnelt PitdMb . Talking of life-preservers," aaifl the truthful mariner, as he knocked the ashes out of his pipe and addressed a reporter, "you remember the old steamer Roustabout that used to run from Buffalo to Chicago. I was mate on her the year before she was l<»t. We were al>out sixty miles out from Chicago when Mike Lanagan, who was doing something up on the mast, fell, struck on his head on the roof of the cabin and bounced clean out into the lake. Well, the captain he see him fall and he stopped and backed old Roustabout quicker'n you could say 'scat.' Mike went down like a plum­ met, for he was knocked insensible, and I knowed there was no use to heave a life-preserver for him, so I just hurried up the boys in getting the boat down, although I didn't expect it 'ud do much good. We had Jim King on board- passenger from Chicago. You remem­ ber Jim King, don't you!" "Can't say that I do," remarked a by­ stander. "Well, Jim was champion quoit thrower in them days. He's dead now, poor fellow, but Jim was a hoss on throwing quoits. I tell you quoits was a great game them days. Every village had a quoit club, and the boys on the farms used to throw horse-shoes. It was somethin' like base-ball in those times, although I never could see as much fun in base-ball as I could see in a game of quoits." "Oh, come off," cried the impatient listener. "What did Jim do; or, did he do anything? Did the man drown?" "Now, don't be too fly. Wto's tellin' this yarn?" "Well, you don't seem to be." "Goon! Goon!" said the crowd. "Well, you know, in quoits a 'ringer' was when you put the quoit around the stake. It counted double. Well, Jim he picks up the round life-preserver-- it's like a great big quoit, you know-- and as the cap'n came'running aft Jim he sings out: 'Cap'n, I'll bet you $5 I'll make a ringer on that man if he comes up within the length of this line.' '"Bet you $20 you can't," said the cap'n. " 'Take you,' said Jim, and just at thet minit up bobs Mike's head about sixty feet astern. Jim threw, and I'll be durned if that life-preserver didn't go plump over Mike's head clear down to his Bhoulders, and there it stuck. We got down the boat and when we got to Mike he hadn't come to yet and didn't for some time after. He'd been a goner if it hadn't been fur that ringer, although it took the skin offen his nose." "Didn't the captain pay the bet?" , "Pay it? You just bet he did. And Jim he handed it over to Mike, and Mike he blew it all in when he got to Detroit.

Returning from a drive in the su­ burbs of Atlanta I asked the colored driver if a mounted man whom we saw In'the distance were a policeman. "Yes, sah," he answered, and then, as if the question had suggested the thought, he said proudly: "I'll be thirty years old next August, boss, and I ain't never been arrested yit" 1 was about to murmur my congratu­ lations when he startled me by adding: "And I ain't never had but one warrant out agin me, .and then they didn't ketch me." "How was that?" I asked. "Well, I kep' out of the way until the trial, and then I gave myself up in court" "What were you tried for?" » "For shootin'a nigger." I began to think that my driver was not the innocent lamb his first declara­ tion might have led me to consider him, so I asked him about the circumstances of the shooting. "Well, boss," he said, "it was like this: I was livin' on a plantation, and one day I got into a row with another young feller about a gal. It was in a store, and the first thing I knew he hit me with a churn handle and then I shot him.

At about 11 o'clock the air out qf doors reaches the highest point of purity, or, in other words, the pxygep in the atmosphere is approaching the maxi­ mum. It continues in this Btate until 1 •o'clock p. m. The electricity following the sun is then at its height ( So we have at midday the inner and outer conditions for the greatest brain and bodily power. To interrupt work at such a time is a mistake which the Anglo-Saxon race does not realize, be­ cause it has inherited the custom of stopping to take provisions between 12 and 2 o'clock in the day. All kinds of mental and physical work proceed by better sustained atten­ tion. The difference between an Isaac Newton and an ordinary mortal is shown in the ease with which the occupation of the day is thrown aside in order to do what is described as "fortifying the inner man." Newton could concentrate his mind upon a subject so as to be ob­ livious of all else, including eating and sleeping, for twenty-four hour#. I think there is an appropriateness in compar­ ing the too frequently loaded human stomach to an engine which is all fired and working splendidly when the fire is buried under new coals and the steam cooled down by a deluge of water. I am convinced that there ought to be an interval of at least seven hours betweetf the two meals of the day. If there must be a brief rest from labor at noon it will be found healthier to do any* thing else than eat and drink. Nature is quicker to forgive the mis­ take of sleeping, bathing, or walking too much than the fault of oppressing ;tlie whole man with an unnecessary load of food. The theory that the stomach demands something to sustain it after a few hours from the last time it took food is as wild as that a horse should be put to work in a very little while after it has had hard service. The stomach is not dependent upon work for its health, except as, of course, it and the whole body must have the blood made from its digested food; but this blood does not need replenishing so often as is supposed, considering that it remains in the system and' con­ tinues an endless circuit Disease is occasioned by the over­ fatigue of the digestive system, just as overwork kills the horse. Many per­ sons of mature judgment obtain relief from bodily troubles by fasts of three days. I have often tried this experi­ ment, and have always found that the stomach gains in tone. I have even done the seven-day fast, studying and working the whole time, and believe it did me good. Fasting for long periods has to be done intelligently or it may do more harm than good. I can fully appreciate the danger of advising any particular course of action outside the line beyond which everyday people should go; but there is good ground for advising them to become accustomed to two meals. When Christ sat at the well in Samaria waiting for His cold victuals it %as 6 o'clock p. m., Roman reckoning. He is never mentioned as having eaten at noon. The eating habits of His disciples were the same. The only ex­ ception to the general record was St Peter, who is said to have eaten a noon meal on the roof at Joppa; but, judg­ ing from what appears elsewhere con­ cerning him, I believe he was then only breaking his fast for the day. The Chinese habit of eating only twice a day is confined to those who do not work in the fields. The latter- mentioned class eat three times. To break off the habit of eating the noon meal it only requires about four days' persistent fasting. After that the craving for food will become more and more moderate, and ultimately disap- pear. ' Chain of Cousins.' The number of "cousins" any Vir­ ginia, South Carolina, or Kentucky family "that was ever anybody" has and claims kin with, has always been a matter of great astonishment in the North, where this charming "cult" is not cherished. And these cousins "down to the fortieth degree" may be found everywhere. A charming lady, whom the writer has the happiness of knowing, said to me the other day: You would scarcely believe that Vir­ ginia and South Carolina families could be related by blood ties to so many « Rese Scent Jar. Tie a ptty that so lew housekeepers, vely, know the never-ending n to be derived from the possession of a rose scent jar, yet at the ooct of a little painstaking they are within the reach of the majority. Nothing give* a more subtle, delight­ ful perfume to an apartment than one of these jars, which should be opened every morning, after the necessary cleaning and dusting is finished, for an hour, then carefully closed. All your friends will ask, "What gives your rooms so delightful a fra­ grance?" It is such a pure yet de­ licious odor that it charms every one. The preparation of the rose stock should be detailed to the care-taking member of the family who never for­ gets anything. Gather the rose petals in the morn­ ing, let them stand in a cool plaoe, tossed up lightly for one hour to dry off, then put them in layers with salt feprinkled over each layer into a large covered dish; a glass berry dish is a convenient receptacle. You can add to this for several mornings till you have enough stock, from one pint to a quart, according to the size of the jar; stir every morning, and let the whole stand for ten days. Then transfer it to glass fruit jar, in the bottom of which you have placed two ounces of allspice, coarsely ground, and as much stick cinnamon, broken coarsely. This may stand now for six weekB, closely cov­ ered, when it is ready for the perma­ nent jar, which may be as pretty as your ingenuity can devise . or your means purchase. Those with double covers are the best, and very pretty ones in the blue and white Japanese ware--I believe the dealers call it kaaga--holding over a quart, can be bought for seventy-five cents. Have ready one ounce each of cloves, allspice, cinnamon and mace, all ground (not fine), one ounce of orris root bruised and shredded, two ounces of lavender flowers, and a small quan­ tity of any other sweet-scented dried flowers or herbs; mix together and put into the jar in alternate layers with the rose stock, and a few drops of oil of rose geranium or violet, and pour over the whole one-quarter pint of good cologne. This will last for years, though from time to time you may a'dd a little laven­ der or orange flower water, or any nice perfume, and some seasons a few fresh rose petals. You will derive a satis­ faction from the labor only to be esti­ mated by the happy owners of similar jars. Ladies in the country might find it profitable to prepare the rose stock for city customers.--Milwaukee Sentinel. Killing Beer for Hebrews. As is well known, the Israelites are very particular as to the use of butch­ er's meat, which, in order to be "kosherr •--i. e., to comply with the ritual re­ quirements--ought only to be taken from animals that are killed not only in the presence of, but by, a person ot the faith, specially appointed for the purpose. Complaints iu this respect have been of frequent occurrence, many butchers or dealers of game and fowl offering their Jewish clients "unclean" meat. At a recent trial of this kind in Berlin the rabbi of the principal synagogue was called upon the stand and testified as follows: "The Mosaic law requires that the Jew butcher be a person of good reputation and morals, and, after undergoing an examination by the rabbi, should only exercise his particular function on the strength of a certificate. One of the tests of his fitness for the place consists in promptly resharpeniug a knife which the rabbi has purposely plunted. During the act of butchering he has to say certain prayers; he must see that the blood falls upon ashes or peat, and, above all things, he must avoid being touched by any one while in the act, this in it­ self rendering the slaughtered animal unclean. He is required to put his seal upon the carcass, giving the date on which the animal is killed. No Israel­ ite is permitted to eat fowl which has been killed more than three dajs be* fore."--Parts American Register. you him An Intelligent OfldaL In one of the Dakota cities where the postoffice free-delivery system went into effect the men appointed carriers were somewhat inexperienced. One of them seemed to get over his route in a remarkably short space of time. Long before the others returned he was back with an empty pouch looking for an­ other load. The postmaster questioned him a little, but he insisted that he knew what he was doing and didn't need any instructions. The fourth day he came back with about half the let­ ters he took out.

Now, here, holding up a late Parisian journal, is the announce­ ment of the marriage to Princess Eu­ gene Murat, the great grand-daughter of Marshal Murat, better known as fche commander of the cavalry in the grande armee than as King of Naples, which he nevertheless was, to Prince de Tor- rella, an Italian magnate. This bride, Princess Murat, has not less than 100 Virginia and South Carolina cousins. Her grandmother was Miss Fraser, of Charleston, whose brother was the founder of the great commercial house, that during the war was so famous as Fraser, Trenholm & Co. Both the sons of Marshal Murat married South­ ern women. This eldest, Achille, came to America. His wife was Miss Bettie Willis, of Virginia, whose mother was the distant cousin of the Dandridges, the Harrisons, the Pages, the Careys, and many others whose names are his­ toric. His brother, the Becond son-- Murat's wife, you know, was Caroline, sister of the great Napoleon--married Miss Fraser, as I just now told yon. So her grand-daughter, who, though a Princess, looks like any well-bred and well-nurtured Virginia girl, is the great grandniece of the first Napoleon. When John Y. Mason of Virginia, was our Minister to France, the ladies of the Murat household were his particu­ lar friends. I know he used to aston­ ish some of the old French gentlemen about the court of the second Empire by gravely explaining that these ladies were his cousins. The Empress Eu­ genie heard of it, and was much inter­ ested in the fact that the grand-daugh­ ters of the ex-King of Naples, Napo­ leon's brother-in-law and greatest cav­ alry commander, were akin to a repre­ sentative from the great republic. I think both the Carrington and Stone families of this city were connected with the Willis' either by direct line or collaterally, and if I am right, they, too, are akin to this young scion of knightly and imperial lineage on the one side, and good old Virginia blood on the other.

The old story of the early bird and the worm that used to be told to en­ force the virtuous practice of early ris­ ing became, in a later and degenerate age, somewhat less effective by turning attention to the worm's views of the affair. Recently it has appeared with a new amendment which restores all tihe point and piquancy of the original. A father has been lecturing his son upon the evils of staying out late at night and getting up late in the morn­ ing. "You will never amount to any­ thing," he continued, "unless you turn over a new leaf. Remember that the early bird catches the worm." "How about the worm, father," in­ quired the young man, borr wing the old sarcasm; "wasn't he rather foolish to get up so early ?" "Jdy son," replied the old man solemnly, "that worm hadn't been to bed at all. He was on his way home." It's Always the Way. "Didn't I tell you 80?" said a gentleman to an acquaintance whom be chanced to meet on the street; "it's always the way." "What's always the way?" iuqnired a mutual friend of the two men, who happened along just then. "Why, ju-t this." replied tho first speaker; "you see Smith, here, tho last time I met him he had one of the worst coughs you ever heard.
