It was not only as a boy that Word»$£ worth, , Shod with steel, hissed along the poliah«4 toe. _ ^ He was a skater of skill in bis man-* hood. "A girt skater; noan better In these parts." -was the testimony of C Dales man, quoted by Canon Rawns-- ley in his "Lake Country Sketches." On oue occasion the poet went by himself to figure a bit upon the White Moss tarn, and a man sent a boy to swc^ep the snow from the ice for him. ,Wlien the boy returned from his labor, the rnftn asked: • N ••Well, did Mr. Wudsworth gie ye OWt?"

During one of his busy reception hours, when President Lincoln was talking first to one, then to another, of the many who tilled the room in the White House, a gentleman asked if any news had been received from John Mor­ gan, whose Confederate cavalry were raiding Kentucky and Ohio. "We'll catch John some of these days," replied Lincoln. "I admire him, for he is a bold operator. He always goes after the mail trains in order to get information from Washington. On his last raid he opened some mail bags and took possession of the official corre­ spondence. "One letter was from the war depart­ ment to a lieutenant in Grant's army. It contained a captain's commission for him. Right umW the signature of A. Lincoln the audacious Morgan wrote, 'Approved. John Morgan,' and sent t'ae commission on its way. So there is one officer in our army whose commission bears my signature with the approval of that daredevil rebel raider." . - • , - y ' -»r J i'-,. ; - _ " '<• •• ».•«: • V - - \ A ' • •' • • • • I - l j. .. >V. i 1ft. • i'• V* Yes a warehouse full of Farm Machinery, Wagons and Buggies.

Disraeli once told a lady that two possessions which were indispensable to other people lie had always done without. "1 made," she said, "every kind of conjecture, but without suc­ cess, and on my asking him to en­ lighten me he solemnly answered that they were a watch and an umbrella. 'But how do you manage,' I asked, 'If there happens to be no clock in the room and you wjftrt to know tbe time?' 'I ring for a servant,' was the magnilo­ quent reply. 'Well,' I continued, 'and what about the umbrella? What do you do. for instance, if you are in the park and are caught in a sudden show­ er?' 'I take refuge.' he replied with a smile of excessive gallantry, 'under the umbrella of the first pretty wom^n I meet.'

A series of Uevolutioniary scenes were given in a Loi^lon theater some months after the close of that memor­ able war. On the one side was the English army in full red coated uni­ form, with every button in its exact place. Opposite them was the Ameri­ can army, composed, as the theater bill stated, of "artisans, cobblers and tinkers," arrayed in their working dress, with buttons of every size and hue. When the curtain dropped. Captain Bartlett of Plymouth. Mass., the cap­ tain of a ship then in port, stood up In his seat In the pit and in a voice as If given from a quarter deck in a squall called, "Three cheers for tbe artisans, cobblers and tinkers who were too much for King tieorge and his red­ coats." and with a wave of bis bat be gave these with a will. For a short time there was silence in the theater, followed by an enthusiastic, John Bull, appreciative cheer for tbe pluck and assurance of tbe Yankee captain, who became the lion of tbe city, receiving invitations to clubs and free tickets to theatrical and other entertainments) while be reinaiued In port--Boston Transcript. This is the season of the year when tbe prudent Hnd careful housewife re­ plenishes her snpply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to bo needed before tbe winter is over, and results are much more prompt and sat­ isfactory when it is kept at band and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before ft becomes settled, in the sys­ tem. "^n almost ,f?very instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indi­ cation of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains no haruiful substance. It is pleasant to take--both adults and chil­ dren like it. Bu} it and yoa will get the best. It always cures.

The gorllkt has not only a crouching habit, but he walks on all four of bis legs and h»s the motion of most quad­ rupeds, using his right arm and left leg at tbe same time, and alternates with the left arm and right leg. It is not exactly a walk or a trot, but a kind of ambling gait, while tbe chim- punzee uses his arms as crutches, but lifts one foot from tbe ground a little in advance of the other. He does not place the palm of the band on the ground, but uses the back of the lin­ gers from the second joint. O A B T O R I A , B«u« tfe* Kind Vim Have Always fUfutaai A Legend of Nantaeket About Vineyard sound there are nu­ merous legends of a famous Indian giant. It is said that the rocks at Sea- connet are the remains of his wife, whom he threw into the sea there. He turned his children into fishes and emp­ tying out his pipe one day forced Nan­ tucket out of its ashes. This latter story of Nantucket's source mast ac­ count likewise for the well known story of that old Nantucket captain who was accustomed to make his reckonings by tasting the earth brought up on sound­ ing. One day tbe lead was dipped In some earth brought on board ship from the island, and the captain, after tast­ ing. leaped from his berth in grea excitement, exclaiming, "Nantucket's sunk, and here we are right over old Marm Hackett's garden!" Naturally he would recognise the taste of tobacco ashes. It will be gixjd news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before tbe at­ tack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after tbe rough cough appears, and it will disf»el alt symptoms of croup. In this way all anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands i 1 mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take.

In oriental countriea the recklessness of drivers of vehicles and their disre­ gard for foot passengers are very mark­ ed, but in Cairo (hey have a series of curious cries with which they warn a footman. They specify the particular part of his anatomy which is in dan­ ger. as thus: "Look out for thy left shin, O uncle." "Boy, have a care for the little toe on thy right foot" "O blind beggar, look out for thy staff." And the blind beggar, feeling his way with the staff In his right hand, at once Obediently turns to the left "Q Frank* ish woman, look out for thy left foo£." "O burden bearer, thy load is in dan­ ger." "O water carrier, look out for the tall end of thy pigskin water bot­ tle." ; A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expen­ sive.
