Famous Scotch Regiment.
Many people in many countries have
heard of the Black Watch; compara-
tively few have heard of the Forty-
second Highlanders; yet the names
are of the same regiment. This famed
body, the oldest of all Highland regi-
ments, gets its nickname from its
tartan. When the regiment was first |
formed it was used chiefly to suppress
sedition in Scotland, to enforce the |
disarming act and to disperse unau-
thorized assemblies. A special tartan |
from which all bright colors were
eliminated was designed for regi- |
mental use, and this fact, together :
with the police nature of the duties of |
early days, led to the name Black |
Watch. On many fields, in many
parts of the world, have the soldiers |
L,Oof the Black Watch upheld the glory
of this great regiment.

Elaborate Chinese Funerals.
Funerals ir China are most elabo-
rate, no expense being spared to give
the departed a grand send-off, no mat-
ter what his station in life. Indeed,
bankruptcy, owing to the lavishness
of a burial ceremony, is no uncom-
mon thing. The never-ending train
of ceremonials that follows the de-
mise of a near relative is apt, in many
instances, to take not only all the
time of the descendants, but all their
wealth. For 100 days after the de-
mise an altar is maintained in the
home of the surviving relatives, before
which they bow and weep, not onge,
but often daily. Relatives are gath-
ered .from far and near and quar
tered on the already afflicted family.
Priests are retained for many days to
aid in the ceremonials.
Hogs and Bulls as Racing Mounts.
The eighteenth century experiment-
ed with bulls and cows as racing
mounts, instead of horses. The early
nineteenth century saw an equally in-
teresting substitute for the harnessed
horse. Just a century ago a small
farmer of the neighborhood drove into
St. Albans on market day in a little
car drawn by four hogs. Having
toured the market place three or four
times amid applause, he put his ani-
mals up in a stable, did his marketing
and drove off again to the accompani-
ment of louder cheers, which did not
make them shy. It had taken him
six months to train them, and he re-
fused an offer of $250 down for the
vehicle and team.
‘How Shopkeepens Wash Windows.
Housekeepers ought to know how
‘shopkeepers have their windows
washed. The latter would laugh at
the soap and water used by the for-
mer and call them waste of energy
and time. Their method is this: Mix |
one part of alcohol with three times
its bulk of water and stir in enough
whiting to thicken it to the consistency
of thin cream. Apply this to the glass
with waste or a cotton cloth. Leave
it to dry, which it will do in fifteen
or twenty minutes. Then rub it off
with a clean cloth. The window is
not only cleaned, but polished, the
woodwork is in no way injured and
much time and labor have been
saved.
Monkey Acted as Jockey.
John Brighf, when training horses,
had a monkey in his stable at a time ;
when the racing was on a covered
track. Either the monkey had the |
soul of a jockey or an inborn hatred
for dogs, for when one came along |
he would drop on his back from a |!
perch and sit as tight as the deuce-
trey. A greyhound happened in and
the monkey took the mount. With
the rider way up on his withers, the
hound started off in terror and made
for the infield. He cleared the Liver-
pool easily and raced for a hurdle.
Here the rider was unlucky, for he
hit his head and passed away.
Touldn’t Stand Everything.
‘During a case in which the plaintiff
claimed damages from 2 railway com-
pany on account of severe bodily ine
Juries, the company’s lawyer was ex-
‘*amining the plaintiff. After awhile
“the latter became irritated and said:
‘“Mr. C., I cannot allow you to ques-
‘tion me in this manner. I am an in-
‘valid on account of the injury re-
‘ceived on the railway. It has affected
-my spinal cord, and at this minute I
can see you double. You know, Mr.
*C,, it is generally enough to upset a
"nan to see you once.”
: : Diocletian.
Diocletian, who wore a crown so
fortunate and so revered, resigned it
to retire to the felicity of a private
life; and some time after, the neces-
gity of public affairs requiring that
he should reassume his charge, he
made answer to those who came to
court him to it: “You would not
offer me,” said he, “to persuade me to
this had you seen the fine crder of
the trees’ I have planted in my or-
chard and the fair melons I have sown
in my garden.”

Words in Various Languages.
| There is no accurate or complete es-
timate available of the number of
words in the vocabularies of the vari-
{ ous nations. The English language,
| however, is generally conceded to have
| the largest number of words. The fol-
| lowing figures are taken from reliable
dictionaries of the various languages
and are fairly complete: English,
450,000 words; German, 300,000 words;
French, 140,000 words; Italian, 140,000
words; Spanish, 120,000 words.

“Dickensy” Names.
“Dickensy” names are to be discov :
ered in the most unlikely localities, as
those whose travels take them to Bur-
gundy may have discovered. In Ma-
con there is a Rue Dombey, which,
apart from its name, is worth explor-
ing for the sake of one or two fifteenth
century timber houses with most
quaintly carved fronts. And by a
strange conincidence, on the banks of
the Saone, about seven miles out of
Macon, there is a village called Boz.
Weight and Turpitude.
A lady once consulted Doctor John-
son on the turpitude to be attached to
her son’s robbing an orchard. “Madam,”
said Johnson, “it all depends upon
the weight of the boy. My school-
fellow, David Garrick, a little fellow,
robbed a dozen orchards with impuni-
ty. But the first time I climbed a
tree—I was always a heavy boy—the
| bough broke with me; and it was
| called a judgment. I suppose that is
why justice is represented with a pair
| of scales.”

Individuality.
We hear much about the develop-
ment of individuality for a go-as-you-
plaase experience. That is fatal doe
trine. It takes right conditions to de-
velop a right individuality. As a rule,
man is the creature of circumstances.
If he comes out of a swamp he will
be covered with mud. The entire doec-
trine is developed by the parable of
the sower. It depends altogether up-
on where the seed falls whether it
shall bear fruit or not.—Columbus
(Ohio.) Journal.
