She said the model | husband is Jike the placid sea; he 14 likely to break out some day and per- haps bring domestic shipwreck, or, at least, strife and unexpected worry 'n his household.

In the United Kingdom the mayors of the larger cities receive salaries, which, though they Bag seem) large, are not any greater n what the chief execu- tives of our own cities are allowed. In Newcastle the mayor receives $2500 per year. Additional remuner- stion is sometimes given to cover ex- nses on exceptional occasions. There is also an annual allowance of $750 for horses and carriages. The Lord Mayor of Dublin for some time received about $18,000 a year, but in November, 1910, this salary was reduced tp about $8,000 a year. Bradford makes no allowance to its lord mayer. On exceptional occasions appropriations are made, but no por- tion of the same is ever used person- aly by the lord mayor. ristol allows its mayor $5,000 an- nually and $600 toward defraying the expenses of a private secretary. The cost of the upkeep of the municipal coach, men's wages and livery are de- frayed directly out of the public funds. Edinburgh allows its lord provost, corresponding to a lord mayor of an English city, the sum of $5,000 a year. Shethield allows nothing whatever to its chief municipal executive. A spe- cial committee has recently been ap- pointed to examine into this question aud to report as to the desirability of providing some remuneration. Leeds, Belfast and Hull make no allowance for the remuneration of their mayor or lord mayor whichever it may be. In Hull, however, at the time of the coronaiivn of Edward VIL an allowance was made to the lord mayor of $10,000. Sniffing Superstitions, One of the extraordinary ideas that influence the people of India general- ly is that of considering, with a view to determining a good or bad effect, the particular nostril through which a person may be breathing. it is remarkable that no one in or- dinary health breathes simultaneously thrcugh both nostrils; in faet, doing so idered one of the evidences of 'ning deafh. If one closes his nostrils alternately he wiil find that onc, either the right or left, is work. ing freely, the other being stopped tit} forced by an effort. tr.es an hour or so after he will find the order reversed, the nostril that was closed being free, and the other closed, and this change goes on through the twenty-four hours at in- tervals. she right nostril is believed in many parts of India to indicate the influence of the sun, and the left of the moon. Hence, anyone about to fight should be careful to note that his right nostril is free. So confidently is this believed in by some Hindus that they will never appear as plaintiff or defendent in a court if their left nostrils happen to be working, and will take any risk rather than do so. 1t is proper to drink while the left nostril 18 free, and to eat when the Cn 's working; and a proverb says: "Should you for eight days make the mistake of eating when your left nos- tril works, and drinking when the right is sctive, you must fall ill."-- Burns' Monthly. Watered Beer. The British Government report on food tests under the Food and Drugs Act, which speaks of watered beer wiki of beers containing more than a fair share of arsenic, recalls the stren. uous precautions tag :n to test the ale of the early 18th century. The ale- tester, shen, was an importagt per- sonage, and a comfortable one. His hear: lay in his work but he had to sit in leathern breeches. For to be precise, be wes a sugar diviner, and nis breeches were his rod of divining. "The official ale-tester,"" wrote an 8 ithority on the subject, would enter an .nn unexpectedly, draw a glass of bale, pourdt on a wooden bench and sit down in the little puddie he had made. There he would sit for 30 min. utes by the clock. He would converse, he would smoke, he would drink wita all %ho asked him to, brit he would be very careful not to change his posi. tion any way. At the end of the half hour he would make as if to rise, and this was the test of the ala, for if the ale was impure, if the ale bad sugar in it, the tester's leathern breeches would stick fast to the bench." Law Court Curiosities. Within the custody of the Royal Courts of Justice are vast fortunes, In round figures, the sum represents fifty mil'ion pounds. But out of this fmmense sum only a million sterling can be classed as unclaiined money Fortunes are popularly supposed to be in Chancery awaiting claimants. That, however, i§ a myth.

Enormous Birds' Nests. Thege are in Australia the largest and heaviest nests in the world. They are built by the jungle fowl in great mounds and their height averages about 15 fret. In circumference they are SnoTImous. places, and are skillfully made of twigs or leaves or whatever material the bird may be able to procure. The wild turkeys construct nests which are v-ry similar to those of the jungle fowl, but the turkey's homes are pyramidal, while the others are in the shape of mornds. It often requires six or seven sirong men 'o move one of these huge nests, which have in extreme cases been known to weigh tons, "A minister's fall into the gutter is no Hepousisr" said the Rev. ohnson, pM And if he!
