The sun was blaz liiK, the bullocks were slow, the dust was indescribable. She was making for a frontier town, where she antici pated the comforts of a bath. At the entrance to the place Miss Shaw, dead beat, dusty and irritable, found her self confronted with the ordeal of a public reception. The officials read her a welcome. She was as civil as she could be. Then she bolted for the hotel. She nave but one order—"Hot water, quick!" She sat on the edge of the bed and waited. Some minutes passed. At last a black servant entered with a tin ves sel, in which there was something steaming. Seizing it, Miss Shaw pour ed out a milky, odoriferous liquid. She turned to the servant for an explana tion. The hotel was very short of water. As a distinguished guest, a point had been stretched for her. They had sent her the water in which the fish had just been boiled! Living l»y Hl* Honk*. An amusing story is told of Robert Buchanan, the author, who, like many another well known literary man, had a hard struggle at the beginning of his career. He had just published one of his early novels when one day he found himself the possessor of a line appetite, but without any money in his pocket at the moment to get a meal. He thought of ways and means for some time and finally hit upon an idea. He went to the office of his publish er and asked for three copies of his new novel, directing that the cost should be placed to his account. Armed with the fresh, nicely bound volumes, he immediately sought out the nearest secondhand bookseller and disposed of the copies for as much as they would bring. "I remember I enjoyed that dinner tremendously," lie said. "It proved to my entire satisfaction that even the humblest author could live by his books!" New York Pnirnbrokrra. In New York the pawnbroker Is com pelled to wait a year and one month be fore offering pawned articles for sale. During the last month of this period the merchandise must be so advertised that the person who pawned the goods, may recognize them as his property from the description given in the pub lished notice. As an instance of the severity of the court against any infraction of this rule a pawnbroker who loaned a cer tain lady .SO,OOO upon a valuable neck lace valued at $12,000 and at the expi ration of the required limit sold the jewels without specifying explicitly enough so that the lady was enabled to recognize and redeem her property the Now York court ordered that the lender pay to the lady SO,OOO and a year's in terest on the value of the necklace.

When any Spanish sovereign dies, the body is at once submitted to the proc ess of fossilization, nor can it be placed in the royal pantheon until the body has been absolutely turned into stone. Curiously enough, the period required for fossilization varies considerably. Some royal bodies have become solidi fied in a very short period, while others have taken years before the fossiliza tion took place. It took exactly thir teen years to convert the body of the father of Alfonso XIII. of Spain into stone. Ilidlni; Aivnj With (he Ilrldc. In many of the border counties of England the quaint old bridal customs of hundreds of years ago are still in vogue. The parents carefully abstain from appearing at the marriage cere mony, clinging to the idea that the bridegroom still rides away on a foam ing steed with his bride behind him as in the good old days. The brides pre fer the custom to the modern method of being given away at the altar in the orthodox fashion. To Reform Him, Minister—You say you are going to marry a man to reform him. That is noble.

No man has ever yet succeeded In painting nr; honest portrait of himself In an autobiography however sedu lously he may have set to work about It. In spite of his candid purpose he omits necessary touches ami adds su perfluous ones. At times lie cannot help draping his thought, and the least shred of drapery disguises it. It is only the diarist who accomplishes the feat of self portraiture, and he, without any such end in view, does it uncon sciously. A man cannot keep a daily record of his comings and goings and the little items that make up the sum of his life and not inadvertently give himself away at every turn, lie lays bare his heart with a candor not possi ble to tbe self consciousness that in evitably colors premeditated revelation. Unknowingly he wears his heart upon his pen for daws to peck at. While Mr. Samuel I'epys was tilling those small octavo pages with his perplexing cipher he never once imagined that he was adding a photographic portrait of himself to the world's gallery of im mortals. We are more intimately ac quainted with Mr. Samuel I'epys, the inner man—his little meannesses and his generosities—than we are with half the persons wo call our dear friends.— T. Is. Aldricli in Atlantic. Pu lictnntlovi. In the earliest Latin inscriptions and manuscripts no system of punctuation is followed. The full point (.) was gradually introduced, being placed on the level, middle or top of the letters. In the minuscule manuscripts of the eighth, ninth and following centuries the period, on the line or high, was first used; then the comma and semi colon and the inverted semicolon, whose power was rather stronger than that of the comma. Some say that the Caroline minuscules of the ninth ceu tury exhibit the note of interrogation, for wlilch the inverted semicolon, which was gradually dropped, may have furnished the mark. The Greeks use the semicolon as an interrogation point. In English the colon is said to have been introduced about 1485, the comma about 1501 and the semicolon about 1570. In Sir I'hilip Sidney's "Ar cadia" (1587) ail the punctuation points appear, including the note of interro gation, asterisk and parentheses. Incorrigible. It was decided that Mr. Wright must administer a stern lecture to his four year-old daughter Florence. The little girl had been naughty, but she did not seem to appreciate the fact, and Mr. Wright reluctantly undertook a "scold ing." He hated to make the tender little heart ache and to see the dear child cry, but he forced himself to speak judi ciously and severely. lie recounted her misdeeds and explained the why and wherefore of his stern rebuke. Mrs. Wright sat by, looking duly impressed. Finally Mr. Wright paused for breath and also to hear the small culprit ac knowledge her error. The scolding was never continued. Florence turned a face beaming with admiration to her mother and said innocently: "Isn't papa interesting?" The C'hrlatlan Name. The term "Christian name" is used in England and America only. "Bap tismal name" is used in other countries. The term seems to have been used first after the reformation, when Bib lical names were used as a reaction against the use of the saints' names in the calendar. It is evident that all Biblical names are not Christian, but the reaction went so far as to consider everything in the Bible as Christian and everything not in the Bible as pagan or certainly non-Clirlstian.
