CROSSING THE BAR. Dying Word« of 8ome of the Worlfi Famous Man. Nothnagel, who died alone In hU room, noted his own symptoms to tha but hr letter to his assistant Is said to have ended as follows: "Written late on the evening of July 6 Just aft •r experiencing these severe attacks died of calcification of the arteries." Traube also made observations on hlm aelf to the very end. Locock expressed a wish to be present at the postmor tem examination on himself, and among Onvler's last recorded words Is a re mark, as his fingers twitched Involun tarily: "Charles Bell Is right: 'Ce sont les nerfs de la volonte qui sont mala difs.' " Dyce Davidson, professor at Aberdeen, died Immediately after say ing to his class, speaking of the next meeting, wlblch was never to take place, "Four o'clock on Monday, gen tlemen; 4 o'clock." Several doctors have taken their leave with a blcs3lng to those around them. Âstley Cooper's last recorded words are, "God bless you, and goodby to you all!" He had previously'said to his physicians. Bright and Chambers. "God's will be doue; God bless you both I" adding, "You must excuse me, but I shall take no more medicine." Benjamin Brodle was beard to mutter, "After all, God Is very good." The saddest of all recorded lust words are probably those of Oliver Goldsmith, who, when asked by his physician If hla mind was at ease, said, "No, It Is •notr On the other hand, William Hooter's mind seems to have been full of bright thoughts at the moment of death, for he said, "If I ebuld hold a pen, what a book I could writer' Pasteur and Darwin, though not be longing to the medical profession, are venerated by it as teachers. Darwin's last words were, "I am not the least afraid to die." Pasteur was offered a cop of milk and, being unable to swal ivw It, mormored, "I cannot" He passed away with one hand In his Gtfa'a, the other grasping a crucifix. Lastly are mentioned the last words of Mirabeau, which are said to have been addressed to a doctor. He wrote on a ■lip of paper, which he gave to his physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the single word, "Dormir." Another ac count, which may be an expanded ver sion of this, Is that after begging for an anodyne he said reproachfully to the doct t : "Were yon a 0t my physi cian ana my friend? DM yon not promise to spare me the suffering of auch a death ? Most I go away carrylnf with me the regret of having confided In yon?" This rather a long and rhetorical speech for a dying man.— British Medical Journal. Japanese Naw Yaar Cakaa. An annual event In Japan Is the ma kin g of the New Tear's cake, which every family must have If good lock la to follow It during the ensuing year. Thia cake Is made of a peculiar variety of rice, boiled and pounded in a great wooden mortar until It Is of the con sistency of dough. Although the pure white dough is often colored yellow or pink, the shape of the cake Is al ways the same—that of the sacred mir ror, one of the three sacred symbols of the Shinto faith. A piece of this cake la offered to the Shinto deities because It Is of the shape of the sacred mirror which wooed the sun goddess to come out of the cave where she had hidden herself In wrath and thua saved the tend from total darkness.

MADE IT RIGHT. ^ H Waa Not Easy For the Saleanwn to Grasp the Boss' Scheme. In one of the suburbs of London there Is a wholesale firm the senior member of which may be known as Mr. Blank. Tbe Arm has two traveling salesmen—a single man, receiving 30 shillings per week, and the other a married man, drawing £2 per week. A short time ago the single man, be ing in the shop aod looking over mat ters, discovered that the married sales man was receiving 10 shillings per week more salary than himself, while be (the single man) was selling more goods. He called Mr. Blank's ntten tlon to this and suggested that, as he was selling more than the other fel low, be should at leaat receive as much pej. The senior partner acknowledged the apparent inconsistency and assured his man that ho would look into It and if the statement were correct he would make matters right. Another week rolled by, and when the single man came to draw his sal ary from the bookkeeper he was sur prised to And only 30 shillings passed out to him the same as before. He de murred. The bookkeeper insisted he bad received no Instructions to raise his pay and referred him to the gov ernor. Approaching Mr. Blank, he aald: "'You remember, sir, I spoke to you last week about my salary, stating that while I was selling more goods than the other traveler, I was receiv ing less pay, and I thought I should receive as much as he did. You assur ed me you would look Into It and make matters right." "Yes," said Mr. Blank, "I remember your mentioning the matter, and 1 made It right, didn't I?" "Why, no; 1 don't see how yoo have, aa the bookkeeper has Just paid tbe same amount as before. I can't bow that Is making It right, sir." "Yon don't understand," said the senior partner. "I have made it right Yon thought you ought to have aa much pay as the other man, and I have made It right by cutting the othn fellow's pay down."—London Tlt-Blts THE ENCORE HABIT. Hew 81m« Raavaa Turned tha Tables on One of His Admirera. Slma Reeves, who lq his day waa ac cepted as the most celebrated tenor on the concert stage, was bo much of favorite that whenever he sang he was usually greeted with a hearty encore, accompanied with enthusiastic cheers. Beeves was very good natured about the matter, but he made it a rule never to elng more than one selection when be felt that his voice was not in first class shape. He happened to notice that an elderly man, who turned out to be a dealer In hats along tbe Strand, London, attended nearly every concert within convenient distance If Sims Reevea happened to be on tbe bill and generally led the encore brigade This batter was a persistent person and of ten applauded until he had forced Reeves to respond to double and triple encores. Determined to teach the little hatter a lesson, one afternoon Just as dark waa approaching Reeves entered bis admirer's store and said, "One bat please," naming the particular shape which he desired. The little hatter didn't recognize the great tenor and banded out one bat "Good," said Reeves. "How much Is this hat?" "Five shillings,'' said tbe store pro prietor. "Encore," said Reeves. A second bat was forthcoming, and Reeves ultimately obtained three "en core" hats. When the little hatter de manded £1 sterling for the purchases Reeves pretended to be furious. "Send theae four hata to thia ad dreaa," ordered the tenor In terribl* tone, "but I only pay for one bat. Do you nnderatand? Th* three other hata are 'encore' hata.

In tbe early autumn of 1358 Petrarch suffered an accident which may be narrated In bis own words. "You shall bear," be wrlteB to a friend, "what a trick Cicero, tbe man whom I have loved and worshiped from my boyhood, has Just played me. I possess a huge volume of his letters, which 1 wrote out some time ago with my owu band because there was no original manu script accessible to the copyists. Ill health hindered me, but my great love of Cicero and delight lu the letters and eagerness to possess them prevailed against my bodily weakness and the laboriousness of tbe work. This Is tbe book which you have seen leaning against tbe doorpost at the entry to my library. One day while going Into the room thinking about something else, as I often do, I happened Inad vertently to catch the book In the fringe of my gown. In Its fall It struck me lightly on tbe left leg a little above the heel. 'What! My Cicero,' quoth I, bantering him, 'pray what are yon hitting me for?' He said nothing, but next day as I came again the same way he hit me again, aud again I laughed at him and set him up In his place. Why make a long story? Over and over again I went on suffering the same hurt, and, thinking he might be cross at having to stand on the ground, I put him up a shelf higher, but not till after the repeated blows on the same spot had broken the skin and a far from despicable sore had resulted. I despised it though, reckoning the cause of my accident of much more weight than the accident Itself. At last, when the pain was too much not only for my wit, but for sleep and rest eo that to neglect the thing any longer seemed not courage, but mad ness, I was forced to call In the doc tors, who have now for some days been fussing over this really ridicu lous wound, not without great pain and some danger to the wounded limb, as they Insist, though I think you know Just what reliance I place on their prognostications either of good or evil. So this is how my beloved Cicero has treated me. He long ago struck my heart, and now he has struck my leg." —From H. Hollway-Calthorp's "Pe trarch." GUIPEPOSTS IN «FRANCE. A Striking Feature . of tha Reade Throughout tha Country. A feature of tbe roads of France la the ever present guldepost. Theee guide posts consist of an Iron plaque about two feet long and a foot high securely mounted on sturdy poets or fastened to some substantial wall. They are painted in white and bine and ahow without any possibility of mistake not only the commune or township in which they stand, but tbe next Impor tant place In either direction as well aa the distances between all tbe chief points upon that route. Thus you will find If you are traveling on a road which leads to Paris that the name of the metropolis will appear on the sign board, although It may be several hun dred kilometers distant In addition to these guldepoets the Touring Club of France has put on the chief roads a series of signs and aymbola to Indicate to motorists and bicyclists what sort of a road they are approaching. The algn "ralentir," which tranalated into good United States means to "let up," has caused many a motorist who Is unfamiliar with the road he Is traveling to slow down and to find ahortly after the algn had been paased that It was well that be paid at tention to It because of a steep grade or some abrupt turn. There is no ex cuse, In view of the symbols and algn boards, for any one motoring in France to get on the wrong road or to come unexpectedly Into trouble.—Frank Pres brey In Outing Magasine. 8hakespeare 'a Last lllneea. According to a tradition handed town by Ward, the vicar of 8tratford. Shakespeare's last Illness was a fever brought on by a "merry meeting" with Drayton and Ben Jonson. Another au thorlty, Halllwell-Phllllps, says that the great poet died of typhoid, caused by the filth and bad drainage about New Place. Like nearly everything else about Shakespeare, the question of the character of his last Illness can be answered only conjecturally. At the Wind's Maroy.
