> COINCIDENCES. Tbe Odd W«n In Which Thtnsa Come About In Thl» world. 1 A story is being told of a mini sell- . Ing toys on n London pavement recognizing in a Indy who bought from him his own daughter. Stranger meetings have been recorded. Late one night two men who bad been dining with the late Duke of Edinburgh at Buckiug- ; ham palace set out for their club and : paused for a moment at a crossing 11 ' I’all Mall. It was very late, and rain ; was falling, but there at the crossing ! was a tiny boy plying his broom and asking alms. One of the two was a i mun who never could resist suel- an J appeal. He stopped to question the | child. How came he to be there at so I late an hour, seemingly so friendless and destitute? The boy answered that I he was, as he seemed, utterly destl1 tute. He bad walked to London from a town on the south coast. ‘‘And have you really no friends or 1 relations in the world?” asked his kind >!y Interrogator. ‘‘Wall, sir, it’s the same as if 1 hadn’t,” replied the lad. | “I have a brother, but 1 shall never see him again. I don’t even know if he’s alive. He’s a sailor, and I haven’t ' seen him for a long time.” At this the second man, who bad not as yet spoken. showed interest. "What’s your brother's name, little man?" be now asked. "His name is , sir. and he’s a signalman in the Bellerophon. but he’s been away so long he must have forgotten me.” "Good heavens!" ex- ' claimed bis second questioner. "Why, I that’s the name of my own signalman, and a tine young fellow he Is, too, and I now I notice there is a strong likeness i between him and the boy.” The speaker was the commander of the Bellero- ; phon. The boy bad been granted toll | rights over the crossing for only that one night; his first questioner was the only man in a million who would have stopped in the pouring rain to question a crossing sweeper; his companion was almost the only man in the world whc could have attested the truth of the lad’s story. It is only necessary tc add that the two good hearted fellows took the boy in band and saw to his being made into as good a sailor as his brother.—St James Gazette.

WISDOM OF NOVELISTS. I If you want to impress fools you must respect their prejudices.—Anthony Hope. Success in life rests upon one small gift—the secret of the entry Into un other man's mind to discover what is passing thers.—Seton Merriman. To smoke a fine cigar, after a real dinner, with a good friend, is about as near heaven on earth as the average man will ever find south of the stars.— John Bain. There is nothing more fatal to a political career than brilliant impromptus and spirited orations. A statesman's words, like butchers' meat, should be well weighed.—John Oliver Hobbes. A young man thinks that be alone of mortals Is impervious to love, and so the discovery that be is in it suddenly alters his views of bis own mechanism. It is thus not unlike a rap on the funny bone.—J. M. Barrie. Moan Versus Adjective. The current debasement of the language. of which mention was made recently by a correspondent, needs to be stayed by occasional protests, says the London Chronicle. The education committees are being called in many quarters •'educational" committees. This false refinement reminds one of the common inscription, "monumental mason," which should be ‘‘monument mason.'* It is not the artificer who is monumental. Compare “numerical printer” for “number printer.” People

fear to use a noun as an adjective or wrongly prefer the adjective as mors elegant "War office” and “India office" are correct expressions, better than “military” or “Indian office,” while "colonial office” is not so good as “colonies office" would be. Hingßrhn Fnreati. The Hungarian government does not sell any part of its forests, but buys more each year. In some parts of the country, as in the eastern region of the Carpathians, woods are found of several thousand acres in extent, consisting for the most part of red beech. Thia Is used for firewood, carriages, staves and agricultural implements and in the manufacture of bent wood. There are few tires, and they seldom permanently damage the woods. There nre large resinous forests In Transylvania. but they are not very accessible, and there are also some in the district of Marmaros, In the northeast of the country. A Misquoted Proverb. Perhaps no English proverb or pro verblal phrase is more frequently misquoted than the one that speaks of hitting a nail on the bead. Unthinking people almost always say the "right nail,” which is absurd. The joiner who hit the wrong nail would be a "duffer" Indeed, but an expert band may now and then bit bis nail otherwise than fairly on the bead.—Notes aud Queries. The Kipuraatrd Article. Swlpsy (looking over bill of fare at cheap restaurant)—"Boneless chicken.” Wot’s det? Muggsy—Ye blame fool dat's chicken wld de rabbit bones all picked out'n It!—Chicago Tribune. The Mae's Mnther’s Thnnaht. "Do you think she Is a suitable match for your son. Mr*. Bngstock?" “Oh, no; but then I suppose he must marry somebody.” — Chicago RecordHerald.
