Custom Allow 80 Many Pound and Ounces a Head, a Week. The English custom of allowing so many pounds and ounces of foul a week ta ferranta Is praotlcallj un known In this country. The Queen contains the following explicit figure In regard to serTants' allowances: 'The usual allowance for tea is s quarter of a pound a head a week, and as long as the servants keep within this I should not bother much about when they hare their tea; butter. half a pound a head a week for eating purposes; sugar, from a half a pound to a pound a head weekly; cheese, from half a pound to a pound a head weekly, according to whether yon al low meat for supper or not. The cocoa you would- reckon sepa rately from the tea, as you allow It in stead of beer; the amount of this re quired depends greatly on the quality of the cocoa, but with a good brand you would allow a teaepoonful or rather under to each cup, so that tt the servants have It once a day yoj would reckon two ounces a bead a week. For meat the usual allowance la from one-half to three-quarter of a pound a head a day, the latter In cluding bone; anything beyond aeven pounds a head weekly indicate wast or dishonesty. Th Cost of a Prescription. The writer took doctor's prescrip tion to th drug store to have It filled. In some way this piece of paper be came torn In half, so that when the patron handed the druggist the first piece that publie servant at once measured out the ammonia salt It called for, and placed the small rial before bis customer. "How much?" asked th patron. "Ten cents." "Oh, beg pardon!" said th pur. chaser, at this Juncture finding the remainder of the prescription In his pocket "This piece says to add. onougn water to the other to make four ounces." "'Very well," rejoined the apoth cary, dumping the contents of th small vial Into a four-ounce bottle and adding the required water. "There you are. air, forty cents more, please." ' What! Ten cents for ammonia and forty cents for the water?" "Exactly. The doctor's name writ ten after the water makes It a pre scription, and we put up no prescrip tions under fifty cents." Judge.

A Convenient Arrsncement for Giving Early snd Often. A custom among attendant of the Greek Church at Trebliond explains the use of certain tokens which have been presented to the American Nu mismatic Society in this city. Accuidlng to the JourLal of the so ciety sometimes several collection. are mado during the service In these churches. Kven should there be but one, the vlflltnr may desire to make a special contribution at the shrine or picture of some of the saint whose Impression he desires to secure, or h may wish to purchase a candle for use In some of the ceremonials In publlo or private devotions. On entering the church, therefore. he exchanges certain sum of money with the deacon at the gate for an equivalent amount of these token. He Is thus able to respond to the calls for the various offerings during the ser vice or to deposit his gift at the shrine of the saint by using one or more of these tokens as he may be disposed. yet without any heavy demand on his purse. These church tokens ar sometimes of brass and sometime of paper. Value of "Stooping." Always be civil. Try to treat rich and poor alike. Is not the poor man's 10 shillings as good as th rich man' pound? The working man' wife, with her basket. on her arm, says Sir Thomaa Llpton In th Strand, I en titled to a vuch respect a the lady who comes In her carriage. When Benjamin Franklin was ambassador at the French court, speaking to a young man, he said: "The last time I saw poor father he received me in his study. As I was lenvlng he showed me a short way out of the house through a narrow passage crossed by a beam overhead. Suddenly he cried: Stoop! Stoop!' I did not understand what he meant until I felt my head bump against the beam. He was a man who never failed to give good ad vice. 'You are goin," he said, 'and have got to go through the world. Stoop as yon go through it, and you will miss many hard thumps.' I have never failed to be Impressed by this lesson of humility. German Dialect, In Wisconsin, It 1 two German women who sr speaking In the presence of au Irish woman: Th' Up o th' marnin' t' ye, Mis' BretUchneldar. lis glad I am f see th' like av y.

This la not travesty; It te a report of German dialect. The manner of speech earn about naturally enough. When th Germans' arrived here In full force the country was already set tled, largely by Yankee and Irish, and th German had to buy hi farm here or there. Thua a number of them found themselves located in the town of Krla, where, of course, they learned th language of their country. And 1 leave It to my fellow-citizens In Y'ls eonsln whether a German cannot speak a broad and rich brogue as any son of Erin. Charles D. B'.ewart la U Atlantic Pareoclou. The late Francis H. Leggett, New York's largest wholesale grocer, had a contempt for the morals of the aver age Wall street man, says the New Orleans Statesman.

In an effort to stimulate th local trait Industry In th county of But' folk, England, th Beat Buffoik Educa tion Committee has Instituted sys tem of establishing apple-tree nurs eries In connection with the custom, arv school gardens. A competent In structor has been engaged to visit th different schools, and many of the children are now as expert In th art of grafting and budding as a veteran horticulturist Only a nominal price 1 charged for these apple trees, and th villagers Immediately recognised th opportun ity that awaited them and have been eager to purchase the entire supply. A number of orchards have been es tablished, and in a single town mors than five hundred of these tree bav been transplanted. Canon Abbay, the head of th pro gressive and successful Framllngham Agricultural Co-operative Society, is enthusiastic over the efforts made to restore to prominence the fruit Indus try and is superintending the work. Nearly three thousand of the young trees are no In stock, and a thousand more are to be produced this year. Lazy Bemoans. Ak Austrian . naturalist Dr. Eech- nx-)r, attempted some time ago to make a collection of Slmoan fishes. He found It almost Impossible to per auade the naUvea, who are so lasy that they seldom go fishing, to sell him any. An offer of gold tempted them no mora than silver; they had caught their fish to eat them, and eat them they did. Interesting Information.

He did not however, recall his thoughts suftl- clently to realise Hs proximity, but continued to drink In the scene before him with as much delight as If It were the first time In his life he had watch ed that glorious snctacle. Honk-bonk-honk! broke liupntleutly upon the evening quiet Slias rose from bis ac customed seat, but be did not turn until the sun was fairly lost to view behlud Craggy Point, marshalling Into lino the rsgged peaks Jutting the hori zon, like s caravan crossing a desert sllltrnieited against the opaline light -of a dying day. Then he scrambled down the precipitous path and instinc tively made his way through the un derbruKh to the open. Honk-honk! again disturbed the stillness as Silas emergpd front the shadowy recesses of the barn. "Horace!" he advanced with alacrity, extending a callous, toil- tiiim-d hand, which was lightly grasp ed by the gloved hand of the automo bollst "Olid to see you; come right In haven't been to supper, hsve yer?" Apologetically: "Sorry to have kopt yr wsirln'; I's up an old 'flat rock.' Becros to me t never see Craggy Point look so powerful grand as she did to night" "I can't stop to talk about that old terie, unless there's something there that can be turned Into money. I'm here or. business.; I have an opportun ity tn put you on easy street, If you'll listen to me HI). I'm Interested In a lumber company and they'll buy all your etnndlng timber, Just as It Is. The price they'll pay will make you Independent for the rest of your life; now mhat do you say? I've got to get biu-k,M consulting bis watch, "they'll (tart cutting In two weeks' time, If you say the word." Silas' rough hand stroked his ehin, a characteristic gesture when he was troubled or In deep thought "You mean the 'Kast lot,' Horace?" "I raesn that and all the other. You understand they'll take It all every stick of tlmbvr you've got on the plaee." "Those trees nre han'sora' sn'som er'n ever, now." "They'll pay you all they're worth. You ought to have confidence In me, S!l. I tell you what; I've made money a lot of it; but there's a lot more got to be made, too. It costs to keep up to the mark tbeae days." "I got confidence In yer, Horace, Hain't that I know yer powerful smart In business, too, and I'm thank ful to yer; but I can't Jeet bring my self to low those trees to be cut t anyhow. You see Marthy sets a sight by those trees. She watches 'em the whole year round. Fust they're Jest a little green, then the' get greener and denser, en' so on, all aioug. Mar thy watches 'em and talkB 'bout 'em every day. They're han'Bom'; yer Jest ought to see 'em now! That side hill s a flame o' color." 'I dare any, but," sarcastically, "do you ever think of the color of the money yoi would get for those trees? Delleve me, Sil, It's a snap. This lumber business Is a side Issue with me, but I'm In a position to give you a good show something you might not get If you had to sell to a stranger. It's like finding money, only better; you don't have to pick It up; It's hand ed to yon." "I know, Horace, I know; but you see Marthy and me don't need much money: this old farm gets us a good living." . "Suit yourself, Sil. I can't stop te talk it we can't do any business, but It's mighty disgusting to a man to have hi brother drudging away on an old farm when he might get out Into th world and live If he would only make" up his mind to do so. I say, Bit. I'll keep the offer opsn till to-morrow night Think It over. You may change your mind. Silas did think It over. He looked at It from every point of view his Imagination could call to mind, and finally, a was always th ease, he re ferred It to Martha. "Yer could go anywhere yer want ed to and hare most anything yer see yer wanted," he reminded whlls they were talking it over. "I don't know as I want to go any where, specially; and If I had all th things Horace's wife baa I'd be "bout crasy with the care o' 'em. I'm content as It Is. Silas, seem to me we're pretty well oft; 'course we alnt rich like Horace, but I never thought of It before." Silas dldnt stroke hi chin; - la stead, his rough hand sought his wife's and held It contentedly. And that evening when he clalmbed to his seat on "flat rock" to watch the sun sink behind the ragged peaks of Crag gy Point be knew the answer to his brother's offer would go unchanged.
