Largest Family on Record.
In the Harlelan manuscript, Nos. 78
and 980, in the library of the British
museum mention is made of the most
extraordinary family that has ever
been known in the world’s history.
The parties were a Scotch weaver and
his wife (not wives), who were the
father and mother of sixty-two chil-
dren. The majority of the offspring
of this prolific pair were boys—exactly |
how many is not known, for the rec-
ord mentions the fact that forty-six of
the ‘male children lived to reach man-
bood's estate and only four of the |
daughters lived to be grownup wou |
en. Thirty-nine of the sons were still
living in the year 1630, the majority
of them then residing in and about
Newcastle-on-Tyne. It is recorded in
one of the old histories of Newcastle
that “a certyne gentleman of large es-
taytes” rode “thirty and three miles
beyond the Tyne to prove this won- |
derful story.” It is further related
that Sir J. Bowers adopted ten of the |
sons and three other “landed gentle- |
men” took ten each. The remaining |
members of the extraordinary family |
were brought up by the parents.
Mascagni's Royal Critic,
Mascagni, the famous composer,
was once asked to entertain the royal
court in Rome. He did so and de- |
lighted his audience. When he finished |
playing he started a conversation with |
a little princess who had stood near |
the plano during the recital and had |
shown every sign of deep interest. As |
a matter of fact, she had been in- |
structed by her mother to say, if’ any |
question should be asked, that “Mas- |
cagni was the greatest musician in |
Italy.”
The composer asked her which of
the great living masters she liked best,
and the proud mother turned toward
the child to hear the pretty little |
speech which had been taught her.
Instead of the compliment came the
withering remark:
“There are no great masters living.
|
i
|
i
i
|
|
i
They are all dead.”
The musician gave a little start and |
then said:
“Your excellency, permit me to con
gratulate you. You are the most truth-
ful critic in Europe.”
Queer Cases of Jilt. i
A well known novelist was once jilt- |
ed by a girl who took exception to the |
inadequate punishment meted out to |
one of his fictitious villains. She de- |
clared that as he regarded vice with
s0 lenient an eye he must himself be
at heart a reprobate and unworthy of
true love and that she must request
that their acquaintance cease.
An eminent lawyer in his younger
days met with a similar mishap. The
lady to whom he was engaged, chanc-
ing to hear that he had delivered a
most skillin! though futile speech in
defense of an arrant rogue, wrote,
saying that she must decline to know
one who conld thus strive to specious.
ly excuse crime, In return he pleadec
the exigencies of the profession, but i.
vain, The lady was obdurate and scon
afterward, by the strange irony of
fate, married a man who was ult’
mately convicted of gross fraud, main-
ly through the forensic eloquence of
her former lover.
Ominous.
When Julia, Mrs. Blank’s maid of ali
work, came to her mistress and “gave
notice” because she was going to be
married, Mrs. Blank said:
“You know, Julia, that marriage is a
pretty serious thing.”
“Yes'm,” replied Julia, “but not git-
tin’ married is a more serious thing
sometimes, don't you think? Anyhow,
it'll be as serious for him as it is for
me if we don’t git along all right. But
then, as you say, gittin’ married i
about the seriousest piece of bizness a
body can ingage in, an’ mebbe 1 am a
fool an' mebbe he's a bigger one.
There’s no tellin’. It's a turrible sol-
emn thing, as 1 reckon you've found
out by this time. Like enough I'll sip
sorrow, but so will he. That's one
comfort.”—Detroit Free Press.

The Kaffeekliatsch.
The dWlerence between a § o'clock
tea and a German Kaffeeklatsch is
cuormous. The tea is a pleasant go-
us-you-please meeting, where we bal-
ance our teacups in band perilously
handicapped by our multitudinous pos-
sessions, nugmenied by the frail sau-
cer on which a top heavy plece of cake
finds an insecure resting place. We
may enjoy a variety of creature com-
forts augmented by ices and cups on
festive occasions.
Not so the German Kaffeeklatsch.
That is a ponderous affair which you
take sitting at tables. Coffee and sa-
vories mark the beginning of the meal,
followed by numberless cakes which
the Germans know so well how to
make. This is followed by some
creamy preparation or a beautiful de-
vice made in ice. This again is suc-
ceeded by the choicest fruits.
The Kaffeekanne is meanwhile still
busily plying its trade. There is a
well known German song which ends
with the refrain, freely translated:
“Thank youn, thank you, hostess mine. |
I never drink more cups than nine.,”—
London Queen, }
The Fairy Hounds. i
In some rears stoats appear to be
more numerous than in others, and
they are seen not m ones and twos,
but In dozens, hunting together in
small packs. The late E. T. Booth of
Brighton, when shooting In East
Lothian one autumn, met a pack of
stoats which attacked a terrier he had
with him and would not be driven off
until he and the dog between them
had killed more than a dozen. Stoats
will hunt together from scent and in
full ery like a pack of hounds, one al-
ways keeping the line and followed
closely by the others. This sight has
been recorded by different observers,
who have also seen weasels hunting in
the same way. There is a popular no-
tion in the west of England that hares
are hunted at night by packs of little
falry hounds, locally called “dandy
dogs” and these are said to be wean-
sels, which the west country folks cal!

Some of them de- |
clare that they have seen and watched |
| the chase with awe.—~London Graphic. |
Poetic Justice. |
A man whose soul had been tortured |
frequently by the remarks of his wife,
| who takes : fiendish delight in setting |
| a price on the handsome clothes worn
| by other women, one day found sweet
comfort in the incautious comment of |
a woman in a crowded car, |
“Oh, yes," said that observing other |
woman, “the hat looks well enough, |
but it is cheap. [It couldn't have cost |
a cent more than 86."

Drop the lump on the floor, and the frog

rae BEST SPRING MEDICINE
It 1% ax easy to prove that Hood's Sarsaparilia is the best spring medicine as it is to say it.
Spring Ailments are blood ailments—that is, they arise from an impure, impoverished, de-
vitalized condition of the blood ; and Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies, enriches and revitalizes
the blood as no other medicine does,
It is the most effective of all blood medicines,
There is Solid Foundation for this claim, in the more than 40,000 testimonials of radical and
permanent cures by this medicine, received in two years, this record being unparalleled in
medical history.
HOOUD'S SARSAPARILLA
Cures all spring humors, all eruptions, clears the complexion, creates an appetite, aids the
digestion, relieves that tired feeling,
ives vigor and vim,

Qld English Flint Glass.
Large quantities of lead and potash
were introduced into the constituents
of the glass which in 1673 Is de-!
scribed as Leing clear, heavy and thick |
as crystal. :
A great impetus was given to the |
manufacture when the edict of Nantes |
in 1685 drove the skilled artisans from
France. Many of them came to Eng. |
land, and (he fame of British glass |
grew until it was considered superior |
to that of Bohemia.
From 1736 to about 1761 we have
but few particulars. Then Michael Ed- |
kins, formerly a potter, became prom- |
inent as a maker of the highest class
of enameled glass, which has become
very scarce. It has an opaque white |
body, beautifully painted in enamel
colors with figures, flowers, etc. In|
fact, it much resembles a glassy porce- |
lain. It is getting scarce, too, and fine
pieces are increasing in value.—London

Porcine Geometry.
Seven-year-old William had become
the proud owner of a pet pig and in-
sisted upon having all the care of it
himself. After a few weeks, as the
pig did not seem to thrive, his father
said to him:
“William, I'm afraid you are not
feeding your pig enough. It does not
seem to be fattening at all.”
“l don't want him to fatten any
yet,” William replied knowingly. “I'm
waiting until he gets to be as lorg as
I want him, then I'll begin to widen
him out.” *
