they established their quarters in the 
great northern porch of the Abbey, with 
tents pitched and guards watching 
round, for days and nights together. 
Sometimes they darted away from their 
captors to secure the momentary protec¬ 
tion of the consecrated ground.” Thus 
some of the nimble-footed ones occasion¬ 
ally lost their lives, and perhaps now 
and then a little lead that was meant for 
them went astray. Long after the sup¬ 
pression the neighborhood of the Abbey 
was a hotbed of iniquity and vice, and it 
may be that during this period, if not 
before it, the woodwork of the northern 
porch suffered from over-free firing.—

PENALTY FOR DESTROYING AZTEC 
RUINS 
YY/'E are rejoiced to learn that a tourist 
" " has been arrested in Arizona, 
where he was caught in the act of demol¬ 
ishing an ancient Aztec cave-dwelling,

brought into the courts under the new 
law, the judge was willing to show 
clemency, future offenders need expect 
no mercy .—American Architect.

whose celebrated Biblical pic¬ 
tures are worth fabulous sums of 
money, was not a rich man when young, 
and encountered some of the vicissitudes 
of life like many another genius, says 
Harper’s Round Table.” Once when 
traveling he put up at an inn and re¬ 
mained there, unable to get away 
through lack of funds to settle his bill. 
1 he landlord grew suspicious that such 
was the case, and his requests for a 
settlement grew more and more pressing. 
Finally, young Raphael, in desperation, 
resorted to the following device: He 
carefully painted upon a table-top in his 
room a number of gold coins, and, 
placing the table in a certain light that 
gave a startling effect, he packed his
