Deals by Barter.
Long as it is sita e deals were usual
ly effected by barter money still does
not enter into much of the business
done in rural parts of Croat Britain
The most general transaction by this
system is grinding corn Gleaners in
stead of paying the miller for convert
ing their wheat into flour or barley
into meal allow him to retain acer
tain proportion of the grain, and in
Wales even farmers commonly do like
wise Village blacksmiths in Wales
have many similar deals. Frequently
one gets a neighboring farmer to haul
him a load of coal to his smithy, and
thus becomes indebted to him for so
many hours' work, the number depend
ing on the distance and whether more
than one horse is employed If before
the next harvest the farmer requires
any smithy work done the debt may
be wiped out. hut if it is still owing
then the smith discharges it by going
into the harvest held himself.—Pear

Witchery of a Barn.
There is a spirit ot poetry about a
barn, and unconsciously men are
touched by it. In youth it kindles our
imagination and fosters om suseepti
bility to the simple beauty of com
mon things; daybreak, with the tresis
sweetness of the wet grass about us
as we go up the path toward the great
barn still darkly silhouetted against
the brightening sky. with the weath
ercock. high up against the topmost
band of pink, pointing to clear With
the opening of ttie barn door the day's
work begins; the horse whinnies at the
sound for his corn; tlie cattle move ex
peetantly in their stauchiou rows; the
chickens cackle and cluck In the hay
loft as they drop fluttering to the floor.
Day has begun-day. with all its ac
tivities, with all its coiuiuouplaceness.
with ail Its mysteries Something of
all this we feel unknowingly as we
pull back the heavy bolt and throw
open the barn door.—Suburban Lite.
Elephants' Tusks.
The largest tusks of Indian ele
phants measure not over four or dve
feet in length, outside curve, and about
sixteen inches in circumference at ttie
gum and weigh about seventy four
pounds The tusks, except those ot
very aged elephauts, are solid ouly for
a portiou of their length The hollow
is filled with firm, bloody pulp m
young animals the tusks are solid only
for a portiou of their length even out
side the gum and are hollow through
out the embedded portion With age
the pulp cavity decreases in deptn till
in very old animals it becomes almost
obliterated
When She Would Return.
"T saw your mother going to one of
the neighbors as I crossed the street,"
said the lady caller to her friend's
little son. "Do you know when she
will be back?"
"Yes, 'm." answered the truthful
Jimmy; "she said she'd be back just
as soon as you left."— Lippineott's.
One Way of Getting Out.
Gaston burst like a whirlwind in

"Going to fight?"
"No: going to get married."

"Can t you apologize?" - Cri de Paris.

Dilemmas of Welsh Postmen.
The postal departments of certain
districts in Wales are in a well nigh
chaotic condition owing to the pre
ponderance of families hearing the
name of Jones For example, the pool
unfortunate Swansea Valley postman
is to be pitied when he finds that lit
has to deliver correctly seventeen let
ters. all addressed confidentially to "Mr
Jones." where there are nine different
families of the name within a radius
of 500 yards in a district where the
bouses are erratically numbered and
most of the streets are nameless. So
numerous arc the Joneses in this part
of the principality and so rapid is the
growth of the places in the valley that
it is now almost impossible for a post
man—probably a Jones himself—to give
the right letters to the right Joneses
every time —London Washington

A Thundering Yarn.
A year or two ago, in a North of Eng
land city, writes Mr. J. LI. Elgir, F. H
A. S., in tiie Yorkshire Weekly Post,
a man told me that during a very vio
lent thunderstorm all the windows of
his club were thrown wide open. "To
let the lightning in!" 1 remarked "Not
exactly," lit* replied, "but to let it out
again if it did get in." As a fact, it
accepted the invitation to enter the
club with alacrity, and though it mng
naminously spared the foolhardy peo
pie responsible for the invitation, it
wrecked a large safe in an adjoining
room. The person who related this to
me said be would ever after look upon
lightning as the "'cutest thing iu cre
ation." It is the (lash that murders;
the poor thunder never harin'd head.
Brazil Found by Accident.
Amerigo Vespucci made the first map
of Brazil, although only of the coast
line, and it was the publication of this
map that led to the fixing of the name
of the new world Brazil itself was
revealed to Europeans in 1500 by an
accident—tiie drifting out of its course
of a Portuguese expedition. The eoun
try indirectly owes its modern ad
vancement to Napoleon. To escape
from the conqueror King John of Por
tugal fled to his dominions in America
and. believing Portugal lost to the roy
al family, set about putting Brazil upon
a civilized basis by throwing open its
ports to the whole world.
Stevenson's Whimsical Attire.
Here is a picturesque glimpse of
Stevenson's whimsical attire as given
in the "Collected Essays of Edmund
Gosse:"
"Stevenson was not without a good
deal of innocent oddity in his dress.
When I try to conjure up his figure 1
can only see a slight, lean lad in a suit
of blue sea cloth, a black shirt and a
wisp of yellow carpet that did duty
for a necktie This was long his at
tire. persevered in to the anguish of
his more conventional acquaintances
I have a ludicrous memory of going
in 1878 to buy him a new hat, in com
pany with Mr. Lang, the thing then
upon bis head having lost the sem
blance of a human article of dress "
"A Sound Box."
Take an ordinary rubber band and
stretch it between the thumb and fore
finger of your left band. If you pick
it with the fingers of the right hand
and let go suddenly it will make a
sound which you can hear distinctly
enough yourself, but which will not be
audible to any one a few feet away.
But if you were to fasten tbe elastic,
with a pin at each end. to an empty
wooden box. only not so as to touch
the wood, and then twang it the sound
would be much louder than before.
That box is the sound box. or sound
board, anu all stringed instruments
have one in some shape or other. —St-
Niehoias.

Curious Golf Priz&.
There is a curious prize awaiting a
claimant at the Royal Ashdowu Golf
club. Sussex. On the club links there
is a hole, called the island hole, of such
a difficult character that a member
hit 011 the unique iiKa of endowing it
with the sum 01 to, the accumulated
interest of which sum shou d go to the
competitor who does the hole in one
stroke at either the Easter. Whitsun
tide or autumn meetings. That was
some years ago, and the interest is still
accumulating. Loudon Spectator.
"One £ye Open."
Some years ago in Loudon a French
man stepped into a hansom and was
asked:
"Where do you wish to go?"
"One eye open, he replied.
"Right." said cabby, who understood
nothing and drove oft After a time,
same question, same reply. Finally
the driver descended and demanded
further information.
"One eye open." still was the an
swer. Cabby furious. A crowd assem
bled. a policeman appeared on the
scene and demanded the whole story.
Then the mystery was solved. The
fare wanted to be driven to 1 High

Illustrious Barbers.
William Winstauley. to whom we are
indebted for the "Lives of the English
Poets." began his career by soaping

into England; Ir. John Taylor, whose
eloquent voice so often sounded in St.

and explorer; James Craggs, secretary
of the south sea bubble; Herbert In
gram of the Illustrated London News;
Allan Ramsay, the "Gentle Shepherd;"
Lord Chancellor Sugdeu, Lord Tenter

poser of the opera "Carmen," were
born and bred and were trained in bar
bers' shops.—Loudon Notes and Que

A Phil May Anecdote.
One winter night an old hawker en
tered the bar of the Old Bell tavern.
Fleet street, and offered the customers
sets of three studs for a penny. Phil
May said to hi 111:
"You are just the man 1 want!"
He took only one stud and gave the
hawker a live shilling piece. The bar
maid said to Phil May;
"I believe. Phil, you would give your
coat to the first beggar who asked for
it!"
"Well, miss." replied the artist,
"there would be no harm in that. St.
Martin gave his coat to a beggar, and
he was a better man than Phil May.
I am only a wicked sinner!" —London
Tatler.
Not Since the Flood.
Sir Henry Irving once received what
he at the time considered a very pal
pable snub, delivered him by a high
lander. While touring in Scotland the
actor visited some of the notable tradi
tionary scenes associated with Shake
spearean drama As a matter of course
one of the tirst pilgrimages was to the
blasted heath where Macbeth met the
witches. In an agreeable mood Sir
Henry as they drove along turned smil
ingly to his driver.
"Are there any witches about now?"
he asked.
The driver whipped up his horses.
"Not since the flood," he replied In
his curt Scots way.
Early Oxford Coffee Drinking.
Curiously enough, coffee was first
drunk with us not in London, but at
Ballioi college, Oxford. John Evelyn
writes in his diary: "There came in my
tyme to the college one Nathaniel Co
! nopios out of Greece from Cyril the
patriarcli of Constantinople, who, re
turning many years after, was made
bishop of Smyrna. He was the first
I ever saw drink coffee, which custom
came not into England till thirty years
after." Evelyn apparently considered
the coming of coffee to have been the
most important event of his university
career—next to the quarrels between
his tutor and the master.—London Ex
press.

The pessimist stands beneath the tree
of prosperity and growls when the

Lincoln's Religion.
I have never uuited myself to any
church because I have found difficulty
in giving my assent without mental
reservation to the long, complicated
statements of Christian doctrine which
characterize their articles of belief
and confessions of faith. Whenever
any church will inscribe tver its altar
as its sole qualification for member
ship the Saviour's condensed statement
of the substance of loth law and tr'K
pel. "Thou slut It love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with ail
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and
thy neighbor as thyself," that church
will I join with all ray heart and all
my soul.—Abraham Lincoln. X"""" _ "~""T
