Once a Peculiar Feature of Business In Little English Inns. The “yard of beer” which was once so peculiar a feature of the business done at the little inns of Bexley and Eltham, England is now but little known, if indeed not altogether ob- solete. It was served in a glass vessel exactly three feet in length, with a very narrow stem, slightly lipped at the mouth, and with a globular bowl at the bottom. This vessel being filled with beer, any one could have the liquor free if he could drink it without spilling a drop. If he failed he would have to pay double. The feat looked easy, but it was dificult, if not impossible, for a novice to perform. He took the glass in both hands, ap- plied the lip to his mouth and then gently tilted it. The beer would at first flow very quietly and slowly, and a stranger to the practice would think how admirably: he was overcoming the diflculty. But suddenly, when the glass was tilted a little farther, air rushed up the long stem into the bowl, and the half pint of beer was splashed into his face, to the woeful detriment of temper, neck gear and linen. But if Buxton has got: his start and seems to be the right sort and if that demure young Lucy seems to have some hard'sense and due constancy in Whatever disguise under her ribbons and mtslins, let us not croak unduly nor forecast a lot of bogy troubles that are not actually in sight Keeping body and soul together is not quite so desperately complicated a task as some of us have grown to think of. Lots of people don’t starve to deathâ€"Metro- politan Magazine. We say we don’t like to see a likely young fellow overweighted at the start, and we know of men of promise who incurred domestic blessings so early in life and~in such numbers that all their lives they never did better than to stagger on under their load. We say they never had a chance to get where they belonged, and we fear it is going to be so with that young Bux- ton. Royal Children Were at One Tune Whipped by Proxy.

William Murray, father of the Duch- ess of Lauderdale, was whipping boy for Charles I. Henry IV. of France had two boys to hear his chastise- ments. James VI. of Scotland’s whip- ping boy was Sir Mungo Malagrowth- er, an account of whom and of the cus- tom is given in Sir Walter Scott’s “Fortunes of Nige .” In 1876 a whip- ping boy was provided for the cin- peror or China.

Itis one thing in winter and another thing in summer. That is a strange state- ment, but it is true, for in winter the animal’s rrur is as white as snow and is called the ermine. In summer its fur turns reddish brown on the upper part of the body and a light yellow on the lower part. The animal is then known as the stoat. This change is quite familiar to nat- uralists, but not to unscientific peo- ple, and the ermine and the stoat are therefore generally regarded as dis- tinct animals. The fur or the ermine is much val- ued and is in great request At one time it “was a mark of great royalty, and the state robes of judges and mag- istrates were lined with it as an em~ blem of purity. Will Power a. Large Factor In Keep- ing Away Decreptltude. How old are you? The adage says that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That’s wrong. A man and woman are as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old is largely a habit of the mind. “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” If he begins shortly after middle age to imagine himself growing old he will be old. To keep oneself from decrepitude is somewhat a matter of will power. The fates are kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death is slow only to tackle the tenacious. “fiance de Leon searched in the wrong place for the foyntnin of youth. It 7 L u_--_ A.‘ is in oneself.

Your job is not Burial Place In Englnnd of the AI- thor of “Pilgrim’s Progress.” John Bunyan's tomb is in the vast burial ground of Bunhill fields, origi- nally culled “Bonehill fields,” probably from the quantity of bones which, as Maitland tells us. were transported thither in 1540. This is now closed as a cemetery, but the forest 0:. tombs shaded by young trees is a green oasis in a black part of London. Near the center of the “Puritan .Ne- cropolis,” a white figure, lying upon a high modern altar tomb, marks the grave of John Bunyan. He died at Snow hill from a cold taken on a mis- sionary excursion Aug. 31, 1688, aged Bus 5" - Macaulay in one of his essays says: “The spot where Bunyan lies is still regarded by the Nonconformists with a feeling which seems scarcely in har- mony with the stern spirit of theology.

For years Mr. Etsell was a great sufferer from sciatica, and at times the suffering became so intense that ipr days he was unawe ‘to leape the house. During these years, Mr. Etseu, as may readily be understood, was con- .tinunlly on the lookout for some remedy that would rid him oi the disease, but for a long time without euccess. Doctors were consulted and although he took ,the trea’ament pre- scribed, it did not help him. Then he tried electric treatment, but this also tailed to give relief, and in despair he had about made up his mind that his case Was hopeless and mind that his case was hopewss unuj that he would be a sufiering’ help-1 less cripple to the end of his daysj Then one day a neighbor advised‘ him to try Dr. William’ Pink Pills.§ At first he refused, believing they; would prove like other medicines” but the neighbor Was so insistent"; having herself been greatly .benefited} by these pills, so that at last he consented.
