ST. SWITHIN’S DAY. Tko Old Soprratlllon Ahoul Jel, IB ■■4 ih. Weather. Tbe old superstition ulmut St. Sw,thin oixl the rain has very generally died out There ar? still, however, a good many wba Incline to the l>elief that such n notion must hnve had a basis of scientific fa<t or It could not have obtained aa It has done for centuries. Borne years ago the records of Greenwich observatory were examined for twenty years with a view to ascertaining whether as a matter of fuel a rainy July 13 la usually foliowad by a rainy period approximating to forty days It was found that the years In which Pt. Kwltliln'a day had given no nils were rather wetter during the following forty days than other years, it was concluded that the tradition hud ao meteorological facta whatever to support It. Everybody has beard the old story about the removal of St. Swlthln's bones on July 15 aud of the manner In which the saint resented it by deluging the district. It is a curious fact, but well authenticated, that the good man's bones were shifted from their original resting place in circuit!Stances of considerable pomp aud splendor and without a drop of rnin falling. The origin of the superstition was probably a terrible Hood which in I*l3 devastated crops. DEAN SWIFT. Never Flatterra, and He W«i Hude, Vet Faeclnatlna. Dean Swift never flatters. When told that the Duke of Buckingham desires bis ac'iuaiutuuce be answers that the duke has uot m;< le suffiejeut advances to hltu yet. When asked to a dinner party by a secretary of state be insists upon drawing up a list of the company. Even ladies have to bow beneath the yoke. However beautiful, wealthy or high born, they must always appear as suppliants for- Dr. Swift's acquaintance. Even then bis rule is far from easy. “Lady Burlington,” says be, “I near you can sing. Sing me a song.” Her ladyship resents such an uuceremoul ous address aud refuses. "Why, madam,” says Swift. "I suppose you take me for oue of your poor English hedge parsons. Slug when I bid you.” As Lord Burlington only laughs, the lady bursts into tears and leaves the room. This does not soften Swift He meets her a few days after. “Pray, madam, are you so proud aud ill natured now as when I last saw you?” is bis greet Ing. The man's fascination is so strong that all yield to him.—“ Dean Swift and His Writings.” ME COULD WAIT. *B>« Way lair<-adlo Hearn Pnahrd Hlmaelr Into a Situation. Lafcadio Hearn at one time in bis career was employed on a daily papei In Cincinnati. He obtained the position by presenting bis application in person to the edi tor. “We don't need anybody at present,” said the editor. Hearn sat down on a chair, pulled a book out of his pocket, wiped hie glass es aud smiled. “I said we don't need anybody,” repeated the editor loudly. “I beard you." replied Hearn affably. "1 will just sit here until you happen to need somebody.” That editor wus not long in "needing" Hearn. For lack of anything better the new man was sent out for a descriptive story to be written in the steeple of the Catholic cathedral. When the story wa? handed in it proved to be a composition rivaling the word painting feats of a Ruskin or a Gautier. He pictured the city as it looked from the steeple and imparted to bis descriptio* something besides beauty. There wus reality in it. Persons who bsd viewed the city from the steeple averred that the story was marvelous for photographic accuracy. Now, Hearn was so neaWigbtml that ten f< i et from bis nose all objects were misty and indistinct and it is doubtful if be could distinguish the nearest bouse from the point to which be bud elimbed.—News Letter. Silver That la Thrown Away. “Do you see that man with the bag going down the basement stopsY* Inquired the chummy cabman who stands In front of a smart Fifth avenue restaurant. His companion replied that he did and asked what there was about the man that was unusual. “Well, thnt fellow drives the refuse cart thnt col lee*. the stuff thrown out downstairs. His graft is pickin' out the silver that's thrown away, brlngln' It back nn' gettin’ paid for it.” Instead of picking nil the knives, forks and spoons up from the plates or saucers it is not unusual for enreless waiters to throw not only the remnants of food, but the silverware, too, Into the barrel that stands nt the cleaning table. It is s»ld that the loss to one fashionable restaurant in this way frequently has amounted to SSOO in one mouth.—New York Press. The Better Way. “Positively the worst struggle I ever bad in the water." said a young man who bad been at sea, “was one night trying to save a man with a wooden leg.” "Man." said an old Scotchman who was quietly listening, "if ye had got a bit of rope ye coulo hae saved the man quicker wt’ it than ye could das wl’ ten widden legs.” Gave the Ocean Its Name. “And is that,the ocean out there?” asked the visitor from the interior who had just arrived at Atlantic City. “Yes, the Atlantic ocean,” replied ths native proudly; “named after our city, you know.”—Philadelphia Press.
