The story is told by Lawrence that he once dined with Burke and others at the Tun. At dinner Burke was missed, and was found at a fishmon- ger's, learning the history of pickled mon. | The language of the place, adds The Bheffield Telegraph, caused an old writer to dub it the Esculine Gate of London. The derivation of the name Billingsgate is not certain. One ex- lanation connects it with an old image of Belus or Belen, an early King of Britain, that stood on the fam- fish spot former times the porters insisted on the passer-by saluting a certain post. If he refused he was bumped | against the post, but if he kissed the | post and paid 8d the porters gave him | a name, and chose ome of their num- ber as his godfather. Cian parame GEO.

That was the beginping of hls curi- ous guardianship, When the rehearsals were transferred from the hall to the theater he was more vigilant than ever, and somehow he so Ingratiated himself with the old doorkeeper that be was permitted to sit back on a pile of stage "props" and watch the rehearsals. Sometimes Betty wondered why he was 80 grave when they started home- ward. She did not know that the worldwise Allen had ushered In this same theater for many months and knew a "frost" when he saw it, even in rehearsal, But he did not contradict her when she rattled on about the won- derful things she Intended to do for her half invalid mother on that $8 a week, for "The Love of a Princess" was to have two matineces a week. The night of the dress rebearsal Al- len sat watching her with hungry eyes. Almost he wished that he had tried for the position of "walking gentleman" just to promenade the stage with that vision in soft old lavender brocade on his arm. Then his eves gnapped, and when Betty came off he whispered: "Take off that lace thingumbob and carry it home with you." Betty looked surprised, but she had learned to defer to his suggestions, and go, when she came out in her long, rough coat and fur toque she carried the lace bertha under her arm. "That {8 what makes the dress look 80 pretty," she urged. "It's real lace." "Yes, I saw that," answered Allen, "but some five cent a yard stuff will do for stage wear, and if some of them got wise to the fact you had real lace they'd cop it and pawn it. Bay, you don't know anything yet about life behind the scenes." At first Betty had felt inclined to re- sent Allen's espionage, but he was a good looking chap, and she soon found, especially after the first night, when she was the only one of the "extra la- dies" to receive flowers--violets that must have cost several dollars--that his regular attendance upon her made her the envy of many fellow players. The the new {day night. And he was right. The house was being filled on passes. "The Love of a Princess" was a failure. But Betty, watching the big audi- ences, could not be persuaded--not until Saturday night came, when the company was called together and dis missed without salaries. Betty was very quiet and white when she came out, her grandmother's frock under her arm. "It's all over," she said sadly. "You were right. And--and we didn't even get one week's salary.

It's eight a week to start and something better ahead, 'cause you've got a pull, see?" "Oh, you are so kind to mel see why' '-- Betty was half sobbing. Allen looked down upon her droop- I don't | ing head in speechless amazement. | Girls certainly were queer things, he argued.

But I wasn't going to tell you just yet--not until I got a better job. The first of the year I'm going into the advertising line with that firm on the tenth floor, and then-- Bay, have you seen those model flats up on West Righty-seventh | street?

Was this the way girls always behaved when men proposed to them? Suddenly the brocaded dress fell at his very feet, and before he could pick it up Betty's two hands clasped on his arm, and her eyes, raised to his, shone | like two violets bathed with dew. "Oh, Allen, you are perfectly grand! | If the princess had bad a love like | yours, the show never would have closed." And then-- But never mind.

We answer: The surest guarantee 18 a genius for it, a bodily and mental pre- disposition to a long life. There are persons who are "prefigured unto a | long duration." Those who have this gift, which is Inherited from long lived ancestors, will generally reach old age, even though they trample on the laws of health, because, although they draw | more largely on their vitality than careful livers, they begin life with a vast capital. For the man of ordinary stamina the chief conditions of long life that are not involuntary are constant occupa- tion in an honorable calling, regular hours, bodily exercise, plenty of sleep, a temperate gratification of all the nat- ural appetites, a sunny disposition and a clear conscience. The deadliest foes to longevity are excitement, hurry and worry. --that is, in the aggregate--that kills. It is too much work done in too little time that causes so many breakdowns today. Work pure and simple, however hard or constant, seldom impairs the health, if only ordinary hygienic pre- cantions are observed. Mental and bodily labor within reasonable limits tend rather to prolong life than to fray its thread. Even overwork may do less injury than underwork--"that rare and obscure calamity from which no- body is supposed to suffer." --Success. HOME FINANCING. The Ever Present Problem of Providing * For the Future. There is one problem that dominates the home--an obtrusive, pervasive problem that ofttimes fills the whole problem of the "to hold" confronts us. It is the question of providing for the home which can never be properly answered until we realize that "pro- vide" is a verb that should ever be conjugnted in two tenses, present and | future, There i8 In our American life too of- ten a blind optimism in Hving up to an | income, In assuming that because the sun of prosperity shines warmly today there is no need of providing umbrel las for a possible rainy tomorrow. Those who wisely live within an in come rarely have to face the problem of trylng to live without one. There are two simple guarantees against fo- ture poverty and dependence on oth- ers, two great safeguards for home and family--a bank book and an insur ance policy. They represent the ma terial defense of the home, a bulwark of love's forethought standing strong and firm in the hour of need.--Delinea tor. An Actinic Voice. Mr. Martin was of those who say of musie, "I don't know anything about it, really, but 1 know what I like." Unfortunately his lack of knowledge never led him to silence.

"What is his name?" "Why, I can't recall his name," ad mitted Mr. Martin, "but the voice stays In my mind. Why, man, he sang way up above the scales with perfect ease!"

An Anclent "S8alt" Dies After an Ad- venturous Career. Born in Long Acre May 28, 1806, Edward Collins, aged 100 yea: nd 11 months, has died in the Raciltiam street infirmary, North Kensingion, from the effects of an injury caused by a fall on the stairs at his lodgings in Marylebone. Collins came of a family renowned for longevity,s his father, a pawns broker, living to the age of 110 years, and his grandfather to 111 years. In his early days his fancy for a seafar- ing life I him to join the Royal Navy, and during a career of over 30 years at sea he had many adventures. One of the earliest of these was the search for and chase of pirates in the Indian Seas.
