The Message on His Watch.
In "Memories of Eight Parliaments"
Sir. Lucy, the author, tells a story
about Mr. Pyno, member for West Wa
tei'foril, who, when under the crimes !
net a warrant was issued for his arrest
in ISS7, shut himself up in liis Irish
home, Lisfarney castle, had the trench
es tilled with water, the drawbridge
VP, took in supplies by a window in
the battlements and thus lived for
months, while he poked fun at the po
licemen who were wandering about
below with the warrant in their pock
ets.
"The originality of Mr. Pyne's mind,"
continues Mr. Lucy, "was further indi
cated upon his watch. On its dial he
had roughly engraved 'Pay no rent.'
Whenever in troubled times any of his
neighbors came to him for advice as to
what they should do in the presence of
a demand for rent, Mr. I'yne solemnly
shook his head. 'I cannot,' lie said,
'express my views on the subject, for
Mr. Balfour says they are illegal. But
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you
what tirfe of day it is,' and, holding
out his watch, tlx; perturbed tenant
read upon it the admonitory legend,
'Pay no rent.'"
Laws Against Beggars.
Begging was a capital offense in
England in the days of Henry VIII.,
when the laws were very severe
against beggars, and under a statute
passed in that reign any one caught
begging for the first time, being nei
ther aged nor iniirm, was whipped at
the cart's tail. If caught a second
time his ear was slit or bored through
with a hot iron. If caught a third time
lie suffered deatli as a felon unless
some honest person having £lO in
goods or !'• shillings in land or some
householder approved by the justices
would take the offender into his serv
ice for two years, entering into a bond
of £lO. So the law of England remain
ed for sixty years. First enacted by
Henry VIII., it continued unrepealed
through the reigns of Edward and
Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth,
the same law was again formally pass
ed, the two legislative houses thereby
expressing their conviction that it was
better for a man not to live at all than
to live the life of a beggar.
Tainted Diamonds.
The lapidary was about to cut the
tail off a tadpole shaped yellow dia
mond.
"The chances are," he said, "that
this fellow will turn white from terror
when I split him. If In; does his
value will go up 200 per cent."
The lapidary set his steel knife in
position, lie prepared to strike on the
knife's back the momentous blow.
"Wish me luck," he said.
And the hammer fell, the amputated
tail dropped into the box underneath,
and, 10, the yellow diamond that had
been split was now quite white.
"The yellow taint," the cutter ex
plained, "was only in the tail. Yet
the taint was reflected all through the
stone, and this made it seem of a uni
form yellow throughout. Now the
taint is gone, and our yellow diamond
is a pure white one.
"The miracle happens fairly often."
—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Epigrams of an Indian.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces was a
truly remarkable Indian. He rarely
spoke, but when he did his lips drop
ped wisdom. Here are a few of the
sayings attributed to him:
"Look twice at a two faced man."
"Cursed lie the hand that scalps the
reputation of the dead."
"The eye tells what the tongue would
hide."
"Fire water courage ends in trem
bling fear."
"Big name often stands on small
legs."
"Finest fur may cover toughest
meat."
"When you get the last word with an
echo you may do so witli a squaw."
Fish, Chicken and Veal.
Raw pullet, raw veal and raw fish
make the graveyard fat. This is hun
dreds of years old. A New York ca
terer (perhaps the most efficient in the
city) said to me: "There are three im
portant articles of food that must un
der no circumstances be served under
done. They are fish, chicken and veal.
By chicken I mean all poultry of a do
mestic nature. Ail game birds should
lie rare. You want to lie a little care
ful about 'lamb too. Give it plenty of
cooking."—New York Press.
Buttermilk.
"Which is the cow that gives the
buttermilk?" innocently asked the
young lady from the city, who was in
specting the herd with a critical eye.
"Don't make yourself ridiculous,"
said the young lady who had been in
r/ie country before and knew a thing
or two. "Goats give buttermilk."—
Springfield Journal.
Few and Far Between.
"If men really would 'vote as they
j pray,'" remarked Good ley, "this would
i truly lie a happy world."
"Yes," replied Wise, "but in that case
j you wouldn't get some men to the polls
once in ten years."—Washington Star.
Must Be Stylish.
j "Why do you wear that, ridiculous
hat?" he growled.
"Do you really think it ridiculous?"
she replied graciously. "How lovely
of you! I was afraid it wasn't quite
the style!"— Philadelphia Ledger.

How a Hat Is Sized.
C. writes that the size of a hat Is
calculated on a curious principle. It
j is the length plus the breadth divided
by li. Thus a head 8 : ) i inches long and
£r;i inches broad would require a hat
size of 1-1 'j divided by 2, which is 7'4
—Gladstone's size.
Your correspondent C. is perfectly
right in ills description of the curious
way in which the size of a hat is ob
tained, writes G., but his sample di
mensions are slightly misleading. Such
an "oval" as inches by 5% inches
would scarcely be met with twice in
a lifetime. The normal difference be
tween the length and width (technical
ly called the "oval") is invariably
through the gamut of sizes 1 inches.
Thus an ordinary G% hat would meas
ure 7'i, inches long and <i inches wide
and a 7!4 (four sizes bigger) 8 inches
long and <!'/{. inches wide. The longest
head I have measured in many thou
sands was 8% by 7%, which is the
equivalent of a 2% inch oval. Needless
to say, the inside of the hat was the
shape of a canalboat. Manchester
Guardian.
It Did Not Work.
Mrs. Billings was installing the new
cook, a maiden from Finland, to whom
the kitchen contrivances of America
were new and wonderful. "This, Ina,"
said the lady, indicating a perforated
wooden board that hung against the
kitchen wall, "is the order list. See, it
says 'butter, eggs, sugar, coffee, tea,
molasses'—everything that we need to
eat. Whenever we are out of any of
these things all you need to do is to
place one of these little pegs in the
hole opposite the name and the things
will be ordered."
Mrs. Billings is not a methodical
housekeeper. There were several con
secutive days when she completely for
got the existence of the order list in
the kitchen, but Ina labored with It.
faithfully.
"Meesis," pleaded Ina, after strug
gling with the order board for three
days, "1 tank dose board must be out
of order. 1 push dose peg in yust so
far as I can, but notting will come—no
egg. no butter, no nottings."—Youth's
Companion.
The Voice and the Phonograph.
A vaudeville monologue man met a
friend in a Broadway car. After they
had talked awhile the friend said:
"I've been conscious ever since we
began to talk of some change in you,
but I couldn't make out what. I know
now. It is your voice. You speak so
much more distinctly than you used
to."
"That is because I have been talking
into a phonograph," said the vaude
ville performer. "The surest remedy
on earth for slovenly speech is to hear
a little lecture of your own rolled off a
phonograph record and find that about
half the words have been pronounced
In direct oppositiou lo Webster and all
the rest of the authorities. That was
my experience. I practiced for two
months hard before I could improve
a speech that had been good enough
for the theater up to the point where
it would pass muster in a talking ma
chine."—New York Sun.
A Curious Ear.
The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be
comes a closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad
der. In the catfish, as in the suckers,
chubs and most brook fish, the air
bladder is large and is connected by a
. slender tube, the remains of the tra
chea, to the esophagus. At its front
it fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrae itre much en
larged, twisted together, and through
them passes a chain of bones, which
connects with the hidden cavity of the
air. The bladder therefore assists the
oar of the catfish as the tympanum,
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals. An ear of this sort
can carry little range of variety in
sound. It probably gives only the im
pression of jars or disturbances in the
water.

The First Monotheists.
So far as we know, the Egyptian
priests were the first monotheists.
There existed in Egypt two kinds of
religious teaching, tlie "exoteric" and
