Jußt neross the luke, in the deep
elinde of Jpe wooded ellfTs beneath the
Plzzo dl Torno, lies another villa still
more steeped In the Italian garden
magic. This Is the Villa Plinldua,
built In 1070 by tlie Count Angutssola
of Piacenza, ii/id n pw the property of
the Trotti family of Milan. The place
takes Its name from an intermittent
spring lu the court, which is supposed
to the on# described by Pliny in
one of his letters; nnd It is further cel
el>rated as lieing the coolest 'villa on
Como. It lies on a small bay on the
east side of tile lnke, anil faega due
north, so that, while the villas of Cer
nobblo are bntlied In sunlight, a deep
green shadA envelops It. The house
stands on n narrow ledge. Its founda
tions projecting Into the lnke. nnd Its
buck bfrllt against the nlmost vortical’
wooded cliff which protects It from
the southern sun. Down this cliff
pours a foaming mountain torrent from
the Vul dl Culore, just beneath the
peak of Torno; nnd this torrent the,
architect of the Villa IMinlntm Ims cap

carried through the cent vat «|m rtment

The architect, not satisfied with ill

;; A PROMOTER IN ABYSSINIA. t
O £
Oonsul-Gencrul Skinner, who has
concluded a treaty with Menelilc II of
Abyssinia, was not the first American
to visit Unit monarch, says World's
Work, and to establish friendly rela
tions with him. William 11. Ellis, a
Wall street promoter, preceded Mr.
Skinner, and was equally well re
ceived.
Mr. Ellis, who Is a colored man, met
ITiriee lias Makonneii In London at the
time of the coronation of Edward VII,
and was urged to visit Abyssinia. He
learned that the African kingdom need
ed a new currency and a new nntiomrt
bank, new bridges and many oilier
tilings, so he determined to go thither.
When the expedition of Mr. Skinner
was decided on, Mr. Ellis hastened his
preparations In order to gain prestige
by being the first to arrive. He>hud fc
a Mexican saddle mnde lit a cost of
thirty-five .hundred dollars, and several
JowClfcd revolvers for King Mene'lk.
He pneked up plans for a new bank
and several, specimen coins, and set out
on-; Ills travels. Ho marched Inland
from the seacoust with a retinue of
two hundred, and traveled In great
Btnte. i
Menellk was greatly-pleased with the
American Ethiopian who could talk
big enterprises with him in an under
standing way. Tlielr appointments
were made by telephone, which Mr. ■
Ellis found much in vogue in the
Abyssinian capital. He found also
that there were two cities
which lmd a large trade aud,
which needed many American good-,
and made n list of more than a hun
dred articles for which-a market could
be found. He proposes to make nnotli
qr trip soon In similar style to further
business interests.

Nothing is mote common than tho
charge that the American people are
too materialistic, snys Is-slle's Weekly.
That was Matthew Arnold's chief In
dictment against us, and nearly every
othi'r critic of American life, before
Aj;uold's time and since, lius said the
same thing. Dickens described us as a
people who eared for nothing In par
ticular except to eat pork and chew to

Tn fact, n very, general Impression

Mr. Mable says, that if we were asked
tj< name |j£e highest types of American ,
life. It would not be the leaders of
commercial life, but the pioneers of the
WesL men of the ohl South, sturdy
New Englanders—idealists nil; men not
of the selfish and sordid order, but
dreamers of splendid dreams that have
had n glorious realization. It required';
a noble Idealism to lay the foundations
6f a nation like ours and to develop
and maintain It ns It exists to day. A
land of churches anil schools, of more
noble philanthropies and magnificent
churltles than any other land under the
Bun—this is not the product of that
gross materialism unjustly ascribed us
our,chief characteristic, an estimate
of life in which nothing Is counted us
of value or of consequence that does
not make for the filling of the purse.
This view may prevail among ug more
than it should, but It distinctly Is not
the view of the vast majority of the
American people.

SPENCER’S LOVE STORY.
The Great Philosopher Had a Very
I Human Side.
Herbert Spencer never married.
When be was twenty years old be had
something like, a tender affair and he
tells about it in his autobiography.
The young lady’s affections had al
ready been placed elsewhere and she
wns only playing with the budding
philosopher. One day "her young
man" called and they all went out for
n walk. Spencer says: "She, taking
his arm, looked over her shoulder
smilingly and rather mischievously to
see what effect wns produced on n.e,
there being an evident suspicion that
1 should not be pleased. The revela
tion was not agreeable to me, but still
It did not give me a shock of a se
rious kind."
Speneer's only other affulr concerns
George- Eltot Ills account of It dues
not reflect credit on Ms gallnntry. He
gays: “Of course, ns we were fre
quently seen together, people drew
their Inferences. Very slight evidence
nsually suffices the world for positive
conclusions and here the evidence
seemed strong. Naturally, therefore,
quite definite statements became cur
rent. There were reports thnt I wns
In love wlftr lief and that we were
about to be married. But neither of
these reports was true.”
Farther oil Spencer says: "Physical
beauty Is a sine qua non with me, ns
was once unhappily proved, where the
Intellectual traits anil the emotional
traits were of the highest.” Analyzed,
these passages can only mean that the
reason the friendship between Jhem
did not ripen into love uml muqriago
was that the author of "Adam Rede"
whs not beautiful enough to suit the
nuthor of "First Principles." The In
ference is thnt she would liavo "had
him" if he hail asked her.

WRITING LOT AND BGHT.
Here Is'an amusing little
that you may play upon unsuspecting
friends. Per imps It would he more
correct to say that they play the trick
on themselves—which makes It all the
funnier. .You tell them whnta to do
and it Is not your fault that they don't
know how to do it. h
Give your victim a slip of stout writ
ing paper nnd the stub of a soft, black
lead pencil, not very sharp. Ask them
to shut his eyes and lay thb paper on
his forehead, holding It there with the
thumb and forefinger aMbs left hand,
one pressed to each while the
Swim of the hand covers his eyes. The
next thing he has to do is to write
his name on the puper with the pencil
held in ills right hand. Writing Is not
easy under such conditional so no one
will expect the signature to be very
pretty or very legible, but everybody,
including the writer, will be surprise^

to find It written backwards—that" Is,
If tlie victim has succeeded in 'writing
anything tlinn enn bo made out at aH.
Nine persons out of ten begin to write
at the left eyebrow and wrltentowurd
the right eyebrow. But this Is not
really writing from left to write, fs
writing should be (lone, but from right
to left, because when the pnper is
taken from the .forehead and lpi> on
the table It Is turned end for end.
Does the writer make the mistake be
cause he says to himself, “Let me see,
now, I must begin at the left,” and
therefore begins at the left eye? 1 Prob
ably not, for if lie stops to think lie is
npt to write correctly. The trick is
most likely to succeed when the writ
ing is attempted, impulsively. wiQ: “t
thinking. So you should not say any
tiiiug about writing, or even show the
pencil, until the paper is held on the
forehead and the eyes closed. Then
slip tlie pencil Intp the hail'd
and tell him to write. The mispikif Is
just one of those queer things Jn liu ; -
mati nature that nobody has yet ex
plained.
The precise directions nhouf’holding
the pnper nml the left hand Mislead
the writer and make Jilm more likely
to err, but their main object -Is to
guard tlie eyes against a possible jab

used. —People's HQine Journal.
“When failure overwhelms you, be
lieve that all will come right and work
for a future success." That Is the
moral to be drawn from a story told
In l.a Nouvelle Revue by Mous. Phil
ippe Bunuu-Vnrilln, first minister from
Panama to the United States.
in 1880, lie says, everything was ap
parently going well ut Panama. After
the great spoliation, or In spite Of it,
the engineers hud done great work.
Much of the excavation lmd been ac
complished, but much more remained.,
to be done. The machines were on tho
ground, the workmen were there; It
remained only for uu honest adminis
tration, making use of these mate
rials, to finish the work. Enough work
huil been accomplished to make a vis
ible basis for negotiating a loan. Then
panic seized the French people, nnd
the enterprise went to pieces.
Two years later, thoroughly discour
aged, tho. engineer was in New York
City, where he consulted JoLiq Bige
low, formerly United States iillnljler
to France.
“What shnll 1 do ” he asked.
“Write a book,” replied Mr. Bigelow.
“But who will read It?" asked the
discouraged Frenchman.
“Do not worry about that," said Mr.
Bigelow. "Do not write It for to-day.
Write It for ten years from to-day.”
Monsieur Bunau-Vnrilla went to
work, utid prepared n concise nnd hon
est statement of exactly what had
been done nnd what remained to do,
with his estimates of time and ex
pense required. He published It in'
March, 1892. Ten years later, in June,
1902, the United States Sennto voted
In favor of completing the Isthmlnn
canal, and the prediction of Mr. Bigee
low was fulfilled. The book of the
French engineer, snne, practical, hon
est, had been one of the greatest influ
ences In turning American sentiment
from Nicaragua to Panama, and bring
ing success at last to the great ditch.
