What do you want, dog? 1f you want your freedom, I tell yoa I will never grant it. 1 care not for any offer yon may make—no, not for a million roubles! A few dozen oysters at this moment would be wortn amore to me.” “Do I understand, my lord,” asked the serf, ‘that you would grant me my freedom if I procure them for you?” ‘‘Yes,” replied the Count, much to the amusement of his guests, As it happened, Schalouchine had brought a barrel of oysters with him as 8 gift to his master, knowing of the great dinner party. They were brought Ia; tne deed of freedom was immediately mgned, and the Count, addressing his former slave with the utmost cou s said, “Sir, may I invite you to join us? ~(German geologists estimate that the Dead Sea will be a mass of solid salt a thousand years lence, ~In 1802 Daniel Webster was a schoolmaster in Fryebury, Me, and was paid a salary of HA a year, has wi, Sou ~A distil operation at lina, for manufacturing ofl from pine wood, ~~ ters Awake, awake!

Westminster Abbay, Westminister Abbey is no less typical of the English nation than the pyramids are of ancient Egypt. Designed origin- ally as an ordinary piece of worship, it | can be traced back to the seventh cen. | tury. The common custom of burying | beneath church floors, coupled with the fact that all British sovereigns from Edward the Confessor were crowned at Westminster, combined by a gradual process of growth to make the abbey what it now is a memorial hall, With the tablet to Longfellow the scope was widened so a8 to take in the guild of English authors, whether in Great Britain or Greater Britain.
