Men IN Petticoats.
One of tlie xnedicul papers has been discussing the Conneinara custom of dressing grown up boys in petticoats and does not seem to be aware that it is merely a survival of what was once the general practice in Ireland. Half a century ago young men of nineteen might be seen—and were seen—within thirty miles of Dublin courting in pet-: tieoats in the country lanes. These were worn with high waists and long skirts reaching almost to the ankles, and a Holland overall resembling an English countryman's smock completed the costume, but there was no difficulty lu distinguishing the sexes by their dress. The man's waist was right under his armpits, while the woman's was in the usual place. When they walked out together they resembled a couple of figures from the Noah's ark of the toy shop, a proof of the real antiquity of the costume.—London TatJer.
Chinese Porcolnin.
Chinamen have been exporting their porcelain to the west for at least a thousand years and probably^ longer. Mediaeval Europe could make nothing like porcelain and therefore regarded it as a magical product endowed with uncanny powers. It was said, for instance, that a porcelain cup would1 break if poison were poured into it. Travelers declared that porcelain was composed of various substances, which,
after \eing tempered, were hidden in the ground for ages before being fit for use. Even so erudite a man as Sir Thoiiias Browne, writing in the later seventeenth century, was "not thoroughly resolved, concerning porcellane or china dishes, that according to common belief they are made of earth." The secret of the true Chinese porcelain was first discovered in Europe a generation later by the German chemist Bottger, the inventor of what is now known as Dresden china.

A large pawnbroker's shop was on fire, and the firemen were busy trying to prevent the conflagration spreading. Among the large crowd of onlookers was one woman who was evidently in an agony of excitement. Every now and again "she would urge the firemen to more strenuous efforts, and as the flames leaped higher her grief became violent. "What's wrong, missus?" said a sympathetic bystander^ "Don't you upset yourself. There ain't no one in there. What's the row?" "Ilow!" exclaimed the lady through her tears. "There ain't no row at all at present, but there will be if they don't get that fire out soon. My old man's Sunday suit is up thai spout, and he don't know it!"—London Answers.

'"The Mosquito Plant. V'
In northern Nigeria there is a tre6, called In scientific language Ocimum viride, which mosquitoes cannot tolerate. Two or three plants kept in every room and placed along the veranda are enough to shut out trespassing insects. A mosquito gently inclosed in a leaf of the plant will lose consciousness in a few seconds. The bruised leaf has a scent not unlike that of wild thyme and eucalyptus. The natives of northern Nigeria prefer an infusion of its leaves to quinine in malarial fever both for themselves and their children.
Hngo as an Englishman,
A woman who was called upon to write a paper at a suburban current topic club on Victor Hugo went to the Carnegie library erected there and collated her facts from a number of encyclopedias. When she had finished, having a quarter inch of space at the end of her paper, she thought she would add something original and wrote, "Whatever we and succeeding generations may think of Victor Hugo, we must agree on one thing—that he wrote good English."
Rank Cai-elensness.
A New Yorker who, being rich, employs a man servant said to his valet one morning, "Hoskin!" "Sir," said the man. "You are getting careless, Hoskin." Oh, sir, I lio^e not, sir."

Ar«'1i!»Sslioi of Caiiterimry. Theodore,

In is regarded as the founder of the
system. Parishes were
originally measured by and made to follow the lines of existing townships, a parish being', in short, the township In its ecclesiastical character. Where a township was too small to require or to support a separate church and priest two or more townships were united to form one parish,
In other cases the clergy of manorial churches built by
the
nobles had no
Jurisdiction over a parish extending to the limits of their lord's estate. Thus no legislative act was needed, and parishes were mapped out gradually, as the multiplication of churches and clergy, which Theodore did so much to effect, made it desirable to define clearly the areas within which the clergy had to work. It was not till long after Theodore's death—Green says about the middle of the eighth
century—that
this division the country into par* ishes was completed. London Telegraph.
The Folly of Betting.
Lord Brampton, better known as Sir Henry Hawkins, the great English criminal lawyer, judge and sportsman. In his reminiscences, in telling of what cured him of betting, relates that Harry Hill, one of the "characters" of Tatterealls, gave him this piece of advice as a youth: "Mr. Hawkins, I see you come here pretty regularly on Sunday afternoons, but I advise you not to speculate among us, for if you do we shall beat you. We know our business better than you do. and you'll get nothing out of us any more than we should get out of you if we were able to dabble in your law, for you know that business better than we do."
King George's Fat PockethooUs.
George IV. from the time he was a .roung man constantly carried a pocketboolt. into which he thrust bank notes, letters, trinkets and keepsakes. As soon as the pocketbook became full he used to put it away and substitute for It a new one. This when filled was laid aside and replaced in like manner. When the king died It devolved on the Duke of Wellington to examine the monarch's effects, and he discovered an entire chest of drawers filled with fat pocketbooks, which contained not (pea **an
