HEREDITARY RANK. Precedence lu l-lnirland n, 14 Struck an American Girl. 1 knew a young American girl who, going to England under the care of an ambassador's family and attending her first large dinner party ami looking about lier. selected as the guest in the room who most interested her one man of distinguished aspect, whom she resolved to watch. When tlie guests were ushered into the dining hall according to the laws of precedence she found herself at the very end of the brilliant procession as one of two untitled plebeians in the room, assigned to the eseort of the very man who had Interested her and who turned out to be Samuel Rogers, the poet and patron of art and the recognized head of literary society In England. She always said that she secured two things at that entertainment—namely, the most delightful companion that she ever had at a dinner party and. moreover, a lesson in the outcome of mere hereditary rank that would last a lifetime. Rogers’ poems are not now read so much as formerly, but at that time the highest literary honor a man could have was to dine with Rogers. He was also one of the richest bankers in London and was very possibly the only person in the room who had won for himself a reputation outside of his own little island, but he was next to nobody in that company, and the little American girl was the nobody.—Thomas Wentworth Higginson in Atlantic.

SEED IS NATURE’S GEM. It la the One Pricelena Jewel In Her Treaaure House. In nature's great treasure house the seed is the one priceless gem. Compared to it the great deposits of coal, the mines of silver and gold and of diamonds and precious stones are as nothing. Man counts his wealth in dollars and cents. In mining and railroad shares and in houses and lands, while his primal necessities are limited to food and clothing. Without these all other tokens of affluence are void. These indeed are the sources of true wealth, and the grass of the field supplies them all directly or indirectly. The cereal grains—wheat, rye. oats, barley, rice nnd Indian corn—which are the seeds of true grasses, are convertible directly into food. The succulent leaves and culm of the wild grasses furnish sustenance to millions of cattle, sheep and goats and are transformed by them into flesh, milk, wool and hides, thus Indirectly providing meat and clothing. They also protect the soil from flood and drought and landslide. Sending their fibrous roots down among the shifting sands of the seashore, they bind the unstable particles into a mass so dense as to check the erosion of the waves. Thus grass, the synonym of frailty, is able to raise its tiny green scepter against the destructive power of the elements.—OntIng. A Neat Retort. Dean Farrar soon after he went to St. Margaret's. Westminster, was dining at Professor Jowett's and toward dessert took up the parable against Dives. His voice rose higher and higher, he spread silence around him, and he was heard thundering out: “What I complain of as a clergyman is that I have to do what no layman has to do. I have to beg and beg In vain. Fashionable ladies come to my church glittering with precious gems, and yet they will not sacrifice one diamond from their grand tiaras in order to save some erring sister from destruction.” When he finished the silence grew s Itry. All the hearers looked gloomily at their plates. Then Jowett, who had been looking as though he meant mischief, squeaked out, “What I object to as a clergyman Is that I have to exaggerate so!”—St. James Gazette. Death Sv-envM In Poetry. Poets are, if possible, worse offenders in the matter of their death scenes than are novelists. A man pulls a two dram vial of some poison from his breast, swallows the contents, proceeds to make a 200 line speech without a pang or a gasp, staggers gracefully backward to a conveniently placed seat, drops upon It, clasps the region of the heart with both hands and dies after a little convulsive movement of the legs. Heart disease, too, carries off heroines in a fashion quite unknown to doctors, and. although It Is of the variety known as “broken heart,” has characteristics which must not be generally associated with fracture of so Important an organ.—British Medical Journal. Illa First Slind. Abner Stone had lived “inland'' all bls days and knew ail there was to be known about pork and beef as articles of food. His acquaintance with the products of the sea, on the other hand, was very alight. Oace, aowever, when at the seashore be was introduced to shad and asked how he liked it. "Well,” said the old farmer, with a brave attempt at a smile, "I calc'late I shell when I get kinder wonted to it, mebbe, but it does seem, Jest at fust, ye know, consid’able like tryln’ to eat a paper o’ buttered pins!" Rarely Experienced. "We want a man for our Informatlsk bureau,” said the manager, “bat he must be one who can answer all sort* of questions and not lose his head.” “That's me,” replied the applicant. "I’m the father of eight children.”— Philadelphia Ledger. The three things most difficult are to keep a secret, to forget an Injury and to make good use of leisure. One loses all the time which he might employ to better purpose. Rousseau.
