Franz Abt, the famous composer, ‘ ,Was strolling home one afternoon in I Brunswick when he met a friend, who ' said to him: “You seem very happy, dear fellow. , Have you heard any good news?” “Oh, no; I’ve Just taken dinner,” was the reply. Grocers Who Dressed In Colors. In the early part of the fifteenth cen- tury it is recorded that the “grocers’ guild appeared in livery of scarlet and green." A few years later scarlet and black was adopted. Funeral services of deceased members “were attended with much show of pageantry.” At the burial of Sir Philip Sidney, who was a member of the grocers’ guild, his worship the mayor, aldermen and oth- er civic officials were present, “rydinge in pnrple.”â€"London Telegraph. a man of mark fondle his long beard during the processes of reflection you will be apt to wonder whether or not his mind would lose its equilibrium it he were in the night to be shaven clean. -'All the Year Round. Men With Beards. What a vast difference there is be- tween one beard and another! There is the long, untrammeled beard, broad and thick, which the owner caresses as it it were an infant. Men with such beards may, I think, as a rule, be trust- ed rather more than other men. Can you imagine a Venetian doge or a member of the council of ten without a heard? I cannot. If you have seen “Who was your companion ?” inquired the friend. “There were only two of us," said 'Abt. “You evidently enjoyed it. What did you have to eat ‘2” continued the friend. “A turkey," replied Abt. “And how many were at table ?” ask- ed the other. Laughter and Worldly Success. “Speaking of laughter, I have often wondered if the laughing man and the laughing woman really get along bet- ter in the world than the man and woman who do not laugh, or if they laugh at all merely grin at some amusing thing,”' said the observant man. “I do not know, I am sure. 0! course you will find that men and wo- men of both types probably in your own ammaintance '* ‘79 b(‘ .: 'wle to get :'I . : fairly ‘. in " '.

At all eVents, she got possession of it and preserved it with great care in a leaden casket until her death, and it is now lnclosed in a niche in the wall of her tomb in St. Dunstan’s church, Canter- bury.â€"Notes and Queries. The Head of More. , When the wise and witty 811' Thom- as More was beheaded his head was stuck on a pole on London bridge, .where it was exposed for fourteen days, much to the grief of his daugh- ter, Margaret Roper, who resolved to secure it. “One day,” says Aubrey, “as she was passing under the bridge, look- in: at her father’s head, she exclaim- ed: ‘That head has lain many a time in my lap. Would to God it would fall into my lap as I pass under!’ She had her wish, and it did fall into her lap." “The turkey,” replied Abt. low We" Work In “tile. The artist makes a model first, not always life size, but almost none of . them actually does the cutting in the marble. This work is intrusted to high- ly skilled artisans, who do the work | ‘ under their direction, and the sculpâ€"f tors snperintend all the finishing I touches and even occasionally do some i of the cutting on the face and hands. I The actual cutting of the stone is a most dimcult process and requires . great expert skill. in case a full sized ’ model is made the sculptor sends it to a professional marble cutter, who roughly shapes the block. The general ' shape is often given to the block be- i fore it leaves the marble yard to save ! the extra freight. The rough (.: trving . is then done by the marble cutter. who ; so shapes the block as to give it the general outline of the figure to be re. -' produced. He drills a series of holes , 1n the block, the depth of each of which corresponds to an external point of! the statue supposed to be inclosed in ‘ the stone. After a sufficient number 3 of these holes have been made in the stone he removes the entire perforated i portion, and what remains gives the; broad lines of the statue. l he price or medicine to â€"-â€"-â€"â€"- I. ma. 1 new prlc. nu __Nex1_: 1:0 ggcelleno “No. I stop occasionally for meals,” said Jlmplan savagely. “Do you shave yourself all {ha time?” asked the barber.

The following note of excuse was re- ceived by a New York city teacher one day: Dear Teacherâ€"Please excuse Emma. for having been absent yesterday, as I had to take her with me to help an old lady who died and had no one to do her work. “Now, then, can’t yer see me?” ,bawl- ed out the latter angrily. “No," was the reply; “yer whip’s In front of yer.”â€"London Tit-Bits. Courts-le- ot the Street. A hausom cab driver had just picked up a fare and was driving furiously] along a crowded street when the wheel of his cab just managed to graze a horse which a very thin youth was driving. I Deficient Ideas of Korea. According to the Korean idiom, it is dishonoring to use “thou” or “he" of God. In speech Korean Christians are often heard to use “Ken yang ban”; (that gentleman) in order to avoid the objectionable terms. Instead of say- ing “He (God) says” they say “That gentleman says ” Then the Korean language does not possess the article like “faith,” “love,” “grace ” holl- ness.” “justification," “truth” and “eternal life.”â€"St. James’ Gazette. The Shrewmouse. The smallest mammal in the British isle is the shrewmouse. This is not only the smallest British mammal, but, with the exception of one other of the same genus, the smallest in Europe. The harvest mouse is sometimes 'thought to be even smaller, but the length of its head and body is often two and one-half inches, while that of the lesser shrew is rarely more than two inches. The tail measures about one and one-third inches, and its teeth are so extremely small that a lens is required to detect them. Raid t _. Plea-e. “The only perfectly beautiful wo- man,” said a well known sculptor, “must have been a goddess. I never saw a perfectly beautiful woman in my life, nor even heard of the exist- ence of one. As for Cleopatra, a learned Englishman has discovered in some an- cient gossip written on papyrus that she had‘the foxy red hair and the freekled skin of all the Ptolemy family and was obliged to resort to hair dyes and cosmetics to keep up her reputa- tion for looks. But perhaps the sever- est shock to the feelings is to learn that Mary, queen of Scots. actually squint- ed, and that Mme. Du Barry wore a set of false teeth.” Tar and Feather. In 1189. In England the penalty of tar and feathers was introduced in 1189, when Richard 1., before setting out for the Holy Land, ordained, in order to pre- serve the discipline of his fleet, that whosoever should be convicted of theft should first have his head shaved; that boiling pitch should then be poured upon it, and a cushion of feathers (de la plume d’oreiller) shaken over it. He was afterward to be put on shore at the first place the ship touched at, though, after a baptism of boiling pitch, the poor wretch would have lit- tle life left in him. In modern times the practice has found favor with the populace as a means of readily exe- cuting justice on an offender whom the law perhaps shows no anxiety to 1'0;l('h.â€"L0nflm: Mail. Raul:- Amy Oddities. Many, indeed, are the curious cus- toms connected with the Russian army. says a writer in a London jour- nal. For instance, none but giants are allowed in the Preobrashenski body- guard regiment. To the Ismallowski regiment none but fair men are ad- mitted, while it turned up nose is the qualifying adornment of the Pawlow guards. The Guards chasseurs. on the other hand, are composed exclusively of dark haired men. Then, too, the distinction between officers of the guards and those serving in line regi- ments is most marked, a guard lieu- tenant until recently taking precedence over a captain of the line. Further- more the pay of infantry officers in line regiments is ludicrously small. What the infantry private’s lot is can better be imagined than described. The Quality That Counts. The great prizes of life do not fall to the most brilliant, to the cleverest, to the shrewdest, to the most long headed or to the best educated, but to the most level headed men, to the men of sound- est judgment. When a man is wanted for a responsible position his shrewd- ness is not considered so important as his sound judgment. Reliability is what is wanted. Can a man stand without being tripped, and, it he is thrown, can he land upon his feet? Can he be depended upon, relied upon under all circumstances, to do the right thing, the sensible thing? Has the man a level head? Has he good horse sense? Is he liable to fly or! on a tangent or to “go of! half cocked?” Is he “ruddy?” Has he “wheels in his head ?” Does he lose his temper easily or can he control himself? If he can keep a level bead under all circum- stances, if he cannot be thrown 01! his balance and is honest, he is the man wantedâ€"Success. The Worn Tuned. J. P.
