It is believed the child swallowed it several months ago. Duty of Encouragement. As ships meet at sea, a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then turn away into the deep, so men meet in this world; and I think we should cross no man's path without hailing him, and if he needs, giving him supplies. Henry Ward Beecher. Englishman's Criticism. An observant Englishman who has been making a study of the American woman and her defects says that instead of the nasal twang, with which the American woman is credited, he found that they speak in drawling, dragging tones, due to a laty, careless management of the voice. TffLuck" "What wretched luck I have. Before my son was a doctor, I was ill a whole year, and now that a doctor wouldn't cost me anything, I am as healthy as a fish in the water." Maskete. Camel and Horse. A camel can easily carry a weight of 1,000 pounds on its back about four times as much as a horse can carry. The camel begins work a; the age of four and is useful for half a century; the horse, as a rule, is nearly played out at the age of 15. Four Times Wedded to Husband. Carmen Sylva, queen of Roumania, story writer and poetes3, was married to her husband four times. According to the German civil code, according to the Lutheran religion, according to the Roman Catholic church, and according to the rites of the Greek church.

The Wrecker of Sellly. As far back as the time of Ilenry I. there were royal grants of "the islands end their wrecks," and frequent was the phrase in centuries following. With royal encouragement, why should they not be wrsckers? One Sunday, long ago. in Scilly, service was in progress when there came the cry of "Wreck !" The men started from their seats. In a moment there would have been a stampede, but they cowered back as the minister sternly thundered a warning. He strode to the door. Again his voice arose. "Let's all start fair!" he shouted, throwing off impeding cassock as he ran, while his cougregation labored at his heels. Most curious of all wrecks was that of a bark, with a cargo of beads, that went ashore 200 years ago. So generous has been the ocean with this treasure that throughout these two centuries it has intermittently been tossing beads ashore, yet so

frugally that the supply is not yet ex hausted, for in a few minutes' search I found that some had been thrown there since the last search of the is landers. Ilobert Shackleton la Har per s. An Old Meat Bill. The state historian of New York in compiling some records brought to light some amendments to laws confirmed at "ye General Court of assizes held ln New Yorke, beginning on ye 5th & ending on ye 8th day of October, 1CT0." The following catches the eye: "Whereas, divers Complaints have been made of the great abuse of bringing dead hoggs & Porke into this city & it not being discernible how long they have been Kill'd by reason -they are too often brought frozen, so not capable of being preserved by Salt which tends much to ye disreputacon of that Commodity when sent abroad, and ye Merchants who Export it into Warmer Climates, for ye reasons aforesaid It is Ordered, That henceforth no hogg or hoggs shall be brought dead to this place either for sale or payment of debts, except it shall be in cask well Salted & Packt according to ye Law, otherwise smoak't or dryed of which all persons are to take Notice, as they will answer ye contrary at their Perrills." History on a Wntch Face. Almost the last work of the Belgian astronomer Houzeau was an article in which, while arguing in favor of a dec imal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of twelve hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors viz, 2, 3. 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors viz, 2 and 5, They counted twelve hours In the day and twelve in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the night by the progress of the' stars across the sky. This system, prevailing over all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on their faces a souvenir of those ancient days when the sun Berved for a clock hand half of the time and the stars the other half. Bankes and His Home. Animal trainers of the old days led adventurous lives. In 1600 all London was talking of a man named Bankes, servant to the Earl of Essex, who had taught his horse to count and perform a number of feats, including mounting to the top of St. Paul's cathedral, while "a number of asses," as the historian puts it, "brayed below." Sir Walter Raleigh in his history says of Bankes that he "would have shamed all the enchanters of the world, for whatsoever was most famous among them could never master or Instruct any beast as he did his horse." When Bankes took his horse to Rome both were burned for witchcraft. A Possible Exception. A high schoolteacher was examining the physiology class. "IIow many ribs have you, Charles?" he asked. , "Why er I don't know, said Charles. "Didn't the text books state V. be then queried somewhat sharply. "Yes oh, yes of course, but; you see, I'm long waisted." Ben Butler's Retort. An old lawyer ln speaking about General Ben Butler said: "Ben Butler was a terror and a torment to the Judges. On one occasion Judge Sanger, having been bullied and badgered out of all patience, petulantly asked, 'What does the counsel suppose I am on this bench for?' Scratching his head a minute, Butler replied, "Well, I confess your honor's got me there. " Eair Answer. A Liverpool paper tells the pathetic story of one A., who is compelled to grow a beard to ward off pneumonia and other ills. The woman with whom he has fallen ln love, however, declines to marry him unless he will shave. "What," asks our contemporary, "should A. do?" The answer seems easy: Keep the beard and cut the woman. Friendship. There Is a certain development of love in which the covetous longing of two people for one another has yielded to a higher mutual thirst for an Ideal above them both. But who has found uch love, who has experienced It? Its true name Is friendship. On the Safe Side. Schroeder (to his neighbor, a widower) Why did you send your housekeeper away, since she was such a good cook? The Widower She made such splendid puddings I was afraid I should marry her. Fliegende Blatter. A cubic foot of distilled water weighs very nearly 1,000 ounces.
