Still there's one pleasant tiling about It. Her children are grow ing up and will soon begin to get mar ried. Of course, after what has hap pened, I'll not have to give them any wedding presents."

"The Greek was the first to apply tnr and feathers to the body of an offend er," said a doctor. "Then, ns now, this punishment of the victim was consid ered one of the worst possible. In fact, tarring und feathering was considered a greater punishment thun hanging. It was a living punishment of the most repulsive kind. Aerating of the blood to a certain extent through the sklu tukes pluce, and In the naked skin fis sures this is a very Important part of the aerating process. In mini the skin does about oiie-thlrtlelh part of the work, while the lungs do the rest. It lias been demonstrated that frogs live but a few hours nfter having been given a cout df vuriilsh. A limn thnt is so unfortunate as to receive n coat of tar and feathers so soon ns freed from his persecutors seeks to free himself from the recently applied tar. A man with good kidneys could endure longer such an application than one Buffering from an attack of any diseuso affecting the kidneys. Death might follow his Buffering. The skin Is a great absorlent agent." Deiiiocrnrr on Warships. Visitors to tlio big warships in the navy yard are astonished at the way the men address their officers with tho tltlo of "Mr." Everybody below tho grade of captain on the ship Is ad dressed with a simple "Mr." This la to save time, us commander, lieutenant commander, lieutenant and midship man require too much time to enun ciate. A national guard olllcer of rank below that of major visiting the yard tho other day wus surprised to heur a lieutenant commander referred to as "Mr." The very thought of such a tiling happening to 1)1 in In the armory made him almost shiver. "Ah," said he, "I see why it Is. The officers are on board day after day, while we guard officers are la the armory only now and then. Consequently, we can stand a little wuste of time in hearing our titles uttered." Brooklyn Eagle. The Silt In the Coat Lapel. A unique and beautiful custom among the orthodox Jews Is directly responsible for the angular slit in tho lapel of tho modern coat. The Jew when death visits his household takes a knife and, cutting the lapel, murmurs In Yiddish, CO God, I nccept thy judg ment." This custom has come down from antiquity and Is known as "krea" (rending the garment). The cutting of "krea" is associated with such solemn and religious obligations that many 11 stern Hebrew father, ns a punishment for a son or duughter who marries out of the faith, will rend bis garment as a token of the death of such a child. The act Is emblematic of the profound est grief, but also has Its comforting Influence, for It accepts with the resig nation of the typical religious Jew tho will of the Almighty. A Story With a Moral. 'A prominent New York banker was dilating on the dangers of deceit. By way of Illustration, he told of a so ciety woman who saw in a Jeweler's window a collar of pearls that she wanted. She Inquired the price and was told $6,000. She gave her check for $3,000, saying she would send her husband to see the pearls, but tho Jeweler was to tell him they cost only $3,000. The storekeeper was familiar with that sort of game and agreed. The husband came to see the pearls, and that evening told his wife ho had bought them. Ilia wlfo delightedly asked if he had brought home the col lar, whereupon he replied: "No, dear; I bad it sent to my mother. You know, It Is her birthday tomorrow.". Horrible Heroism. One of the Resolution's gunners was standing by bis gun as the ship sheered abreast of De Grasse's flag ship. The gunner was all ready, just going to fire, when a shot came In at the port and took his leg off at the knee. As quick as thought the man pulled off his neckcloth and tied his leg above the stump. The next instant he seized his shot off limb and thrust It Into the muzzle of the gun, which went off two seconds later. ,"My foot," shouted the man exultantly, "Is the first to board the Vllle de Paris." Frasier's "Famous Fighters." A Ftmou Beauty. Mme. de Remusat had features so perfect that her contemporaries said she was worthy to sit as a model for a Greek goddess.

There were a nurr.ber of young ladies In the house and. before ho arrived, Lady Keith said lu them: "Now, there Is this old geiillvninu coming to stay, and I par ticularly wish that you should all en deavor to make yourselves as pleasant to him as you can." They all agreed to do so, but a Miss Dalrymple said: "You may all do whut you like, but I'll bet you anything that youjileaso thut I'll make the old gentleman like me best of us all." And SO she did. She made him perfectly devoted to her all the time he was there, yet when he asked tier to murry him she laughed in his face.

It need hardly be pointed out, says tlio author 0 "Fifty Years In Fleet Street," that to be elected a member of parliament does not necessarily imply intellectual superiority. Shortly after the Burmese war a young civilian, home on leave, happened to mention Burma. "Ah, yes, Burma," said an M. P. with whom he was sitting at table. "I had a nephew who was lu Burma, only he used to call It Bermuda." On another occasion, In the month of March, some one said to Mr. Llvesoy: "This Is a cruel east wind." "Yes," wus the would be witty rfr1 ply. "I expect It will be Easter be fore It Is over." This wns repeated by the author of the book quoted to a respected member of parliament, who observed gravely: "I fancy he's right. I have known It last till Easter and longer yet." A OlnRKOw Cemetery. The Necropolis cemetery, Olasgow, as originally planned, contained al most exactly twenty-four acres avail able for burials, and It was suggested that each division of one acre should be named after a letter of the Greek alphabet, which contains twenty-four churucters. For various reasons tills Idea has not been fully carried out, but fifteen sections of the cemetery have been so named from alpha to omega, the monosyllable letters be tween these being omitted. The names have not been applied In any partic ular sequence, but with the aid of a small map they are useful In locating any particular spot In what Is now one of the most densely filled graveyards In the kingdom. 5ot a Memcnier Boy. A beggar accosted a man on the street the other day and poured out a tale of woe, to which the gentleman patiently listened. Then be took out a card bearing his name, which was that of a well known philanthropist who contributes largely to an organization working for the relief of the poor.

Of the difficulties in the language of Tersia a traveler writes: "The words one uses In a letter are almost entire ly different from those used conversa tionally, and those In an ordinary prose history are again different. Then it is almost Impossible to distinguish the tenses, and, lastly, the adjective Is generally indistinguishable from the substantive, and the link between an adjective and the term which it quali fies is the same as the sign of the pos sessive. For instance, the text, "This Is my beloved son, may be read in the Tersian Bible 'This Is the son of my beloved,' without the slightest violence to the grammar." Origin of One Graveyard. The family of a member of parlia ment from Yorkshire has a private graveyard and has had it for several generations. The founder of It was a Quaker, and the rector of the parish in which he lived said to him after a dispute on religious matters: "Well, If you don't come to church when you are alive, you will when you are dead." But the Quaker thought otherwise and founded the burial place, which Is used to this day. A Popular LaaKaaice.
