Little Pitchers. r
In a certain small town there are
:wo young women whose favorite oc-
supation has been to discuss the af-
fairs of their neighbors. Having met
for that purpose one afternoon. they
found themselves blocked in the In-
julgence of their pastime by the pres-
ence of the small daughter of the
hostess. A slight indisposition of
some sort prevented sending the child
out of doors, so they were forced to
put up with her presence, doing their
best, however, to nullify it.
Something eatable was produced and
nN absorbing new game invented
which she could play quite by herself,
so they breathed freely and began.
The talk at length reached a point
involving the latest scandal of the
neighborhood and the retailing of
some inside information which must
not become public proper.v. A hurried
look at the child on the floor found
her apparently so occupied with her
game that it seemed quite safe to go
on if one observed n decent discretion.
Voices were accordingly lowered and
direct allusion veiled, but when the
matter had been thrashed out to thelr
satisfaction the child raised her eyes
and remarked with deliberation and
emphasis:
“1 hear, 1 know, I understand, and
I'll blab!” —New York Times.
Books and Their Care.
Books on sheives may be seriously
injured if packed too tightly. When
quickly pulled out for use the top of
the book is likely to come off. More-
over, the constant pressure, if too
great, will loosen the whole back in
time and the friction in putting upon
end taking from the shelf mars the
covers. On the other band, a reason-
able amount of lateral pressure is
necessary.
too loosely the leaves tend to open
and admit dust, dampness and conse-
quent mildew. Ip the case of heavy
volumes the weight of the leaves will
be found resting on the shelves if the
books are placed too loosely. This is
likely to make the backs concave.
Badly painted shelves are another
source of injury to books. Care should
be taken when paint or varnish is used
that the surface is perfectly smooth,
hard and dry when the books are put
in place and that the surface will re
main so during variatien of tempera-
ture or humidity.—House Beautiful.
An Anecdote of Pope.
There is an old anecdote of Alexan-
der Pope concerning one of the old
watermen who were employed for
many yeurs in rowing Pope on the
Thames. Pope was in the habit of
having his sedan chair lifted iuto the
punt. If the weather was tine he let
down the glasses; if cold he pulled
them up. He would sometimes say to
the waterman:
“John, | am going to repeat some
verses. Take care to remember them
the next timé 1 go out.”
When that time came Pope would
say:
“John, where are the verses 1 told
you of?
“I have forgotten them, sir.”
“John, you are a blockhead.
write them down for you.”
John said that no one thought of
saying when speaking of him, “Mr.
Pope,” but that he was always called
“Mr. Alexander.”

Last Revolutionary Survivor.
The last survivor of the Revolution-
ary war was John Gray, who died in
Noble county, O., aged 104 years, on
March 26. 1868. He came to the Buck-
eye State early In its existence. For
some years before he died he drew an
annual pension of $500 from the gov-
ernment, General John A. Bingham
having got a special act through
congress for this. Gray's father was
killed at the battle of Stillwater and
ne took his place in the army. being
only sixteen years old then, He serv-
ed through the remainder of the war.
His military record is on file at the
office of the stute commissioner of sol-
diers’ claims. Columbus Dispatch,

opened on the side to admit victims
who were to be roasted by the fire
which was built underneath. The dy-
ing groans of the sufferers resembled
closely the roaring of 2 nud bull. Pha
Jaris greatly admired the invention and
by way of test rousted the inventor
first. Later the populace rose in re
bellion and burned 'halaris.

A Famous Miser. :
John Elwes, who lived—we can hard-
ly say flourished—in the eighteenth |
century. wus a famous miser. When
he, possessed of a million of money,
walked the streets of London philan-
thropic people would sometimes thrust
a penny into his hand. so beggarly and |
poverty stricken was his appearance.
He would eat food that was in the last
stage of putrefaction sooner than
throw it away and would ride for
miles out of his way sooner than pay
a twopeuny toll on the turnpike. By
an accident in the street he received
an injury to both his legs, and a doe-
tor was called In. Elwes protested
that the expense was quite unneces-
gary and that he was not much hurt.
Qo he made an arrangement with the
doctor, The doctor was to take one
leg and treat as he liked. Elwes
would take the other and do nothing
to it. Amd he would bet the doctor
the amount of his bill that the untend-
ed log got well first. He used to boast
afterward that he beat the doctor by
a fortnight.
The Art of Boxing.
Pugilism. the practice of boxing or
fighting with the fists, was a manly
and exercise highly esteemed
among the ancients, In those days the
hands of the pugilist were armed with
the cestuy, leather throngs loaded with
lend or iron. This form of athletic
sport was at first only permitted to
frecmen among the Greeks, but grad-
| ually it was taken up as a profession
and lost much of its prestige.
As an illustration of its early use we
find in Virgil's fifth Aencid the ree-
| ord of n mulch between Dares, “with
nimble feet and confident in youth,”
and Dateling, the veteran champion,
wgtpone and weighty Hmbed™ when
the combatants
Toei dons uplift in air, their heads with-

Back from the blows, and, mingling hand

Pugilism has been a typical English
sport from the days of King Alfred.—

Convention of Stags.
Within the imperial preserves where
the kaiser and his guests secured 500
deer In one day is the Schorfhaide,
which each year toward the mouth of
November becomes the meeting place
of thousands of stags. I'his annual
assemblage on the sSchorfhnide has
taken place every autumi for cen-
turies past. Mention thereof has been
found in documents more than a thou-
sand years old. All sorts of theories
| have been put forward to account for
! jt. Some natives say that the animals
meet to decide matters affecting the!
it
seems hard to account otherwise for
the attraction which brings stags and |
their mates from Galicia, on the RRus-
sian border; from the Liechtenstein |
game preserves south of Vienna and
from the still Inrger estates in Hun-'
gary belonging to the Archduke Fred-
erick. all the way to the Schorfhaide.—
London Chronicle.
The Dialect Was There.
ax-Governor Bob Taylor of Tennes-
gee was once entertaining a northern
guest who was rather skeptical about
the prevailing dinlect in stories of
southern negroes. [He thought it over-
drawn. To disprove the contention,
Mr. Taylor laughingly made n wager
with his guest that the northerner
would be unable to interpret the lan- |
guage of the first negro they met. Ac-
cordingly they set out and presently
came upon a black man basking In-
dolently in the sun. Telling his friend
to pay close heed, Mr. Taylor stepped
up to the negro and demanded sud-
denly:
“Wek he?"
The negro blinked his eyes stolidly
and then answered in a guttural voice: '
“wal who?’— Everybody's.
Found the Saint's Day. |
One Russian peasant sued another to
recover the sum of 50 rubles, the debt- |
or having faithfully promised to re-
turn the money on St. Henry's day.
But, having failed to do so for a long
time, the lender discovered that the
Russian Orthodox church includes no
such saint as St. Henry, and the judge
before whom the case was tried was
much puzzled as to what verdict he
should give. Happily the idea occur-
red to him that, saint or no saint, All
Saints’ day included even the most
doubtful, so he gave judgment that the
50 rubles should be returned next All|
Saints’ day.
