Old English Slaves.
Before the conquest and for a long ;
time after at least two-thirds of the
people of England were denuded of all
the substantial attributes of freedom.
The lords had the absolute disposal of
them. They might be attached to the
soil or transferred by deed, sale or con
veyance from one lord to another.
They could not chance their place or
hold property—in short, they were
slaves under their obligation of per
petual servitude, which the consent of
the master alone could dissolve. The
system was not fairly abolished until
the reign of Charles 11., and so late as ;
1775 men were bought and sold in '
Scotland with the estates to which they 1
were bound.

Rather Too Light.
The landlady who had not a reputa
tion for overfeeding her boarders asked
her solitary boarder as he looked dole
fully at his supper. "Shall 1 light the
gas?"
The boarder gazed at the scanty meal
and replied, "Well, no, it isn't neces
sary; the supper is light enough!"—

Got All He Asked For.
Another "meanest man" has been
; found. He lives in the city and con-
I ducts a thriving business. The other
! day a seedy individual approached him
and said: "Say. mister. I'm hungry and
; would like/to get a nickel to get a cup
;of coffee and a roll. I have four pen
nies and only need one more. Please
give me a penny."
The man after searching himself
said: "I haven't got a penny. All I
have is a nickel. Give me your four
cents in change, and I will give you
the nickel."
The beggar requests that his name
be not mentioned in connection with
the Item. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

Offered Self Government.
Dr. Moore broached his self gover:
meut scheme to the inmates. He tob
them that it rested entirely with them
selves whether they were granted ai
J tonomy or not Last year the numbi
j of inmates increased, but the nujjibc
lof reported infractions of the rule
was 2,002 less than during the prev'
ous year. The older inmates, wfc<
i j were working for the privilege of be
iing treated like citizens, were seldom
reported, and they did much to tam
\he new inmates who were inclined to
"I be obstreperous. Dr. Moore called the
I inmates together and told them thai
- the time had come when he was goinc
i to grant them autonomy. He outlined
i his plan, which was Jo have the mis
[ deeds of inmates judged and punish
. mer for them meted out by a council
prisoners elected by their fellows.
On July 12 of this year each of the
! fourteen tiers elected two council men
to represent it Each Tuesday and
i Friday the council meets to act upon
. reports of misbehavior by Inmates
. The council has a president, who Is
j presiding judge, and a secretary, who
is clerk of the court. Prisoners are
produced before the council and faced
* by their accusers, who are their fellow
inmates or councilmen from their tier
' and they are given an opportunity to
cross examine witnesses and testify in
' their own defense. If the accused is
[ found guilty he is sentenced to the loss
* of some privilege.
i The decision of the council is final
It is not subject to approval by the
> superintendent or any officer of the In
i stitution, and none of the officers if
I permitted any voice in its delibera
tions. If a councilman misbehaves
and becomes amenable for a serious
breach of discipline be is tried by bis ;
t fellow toi.iicilmen. If a councilman j
Is ousted for cause an election to so

Here are some of the governing rulet
of the council:

To try t<" do away v. : th all disorder i.i

To try to instill a better fellowship am:
spirit among the inm.ateh To try to le3i
them from the habit of doing things fo j

The council shall take a lively interest
In all amusements for the benefit of tHe
inmates on holidays and other times. T
try to arrange to give shows from time
to time, especial'v on holidays.
Councilmen will ask the Inmates on .
their tiers to seird the-n suggestions from

Wallack on the Ballet.
The late Lester Wallack once told a
atory of his still more famous father.
James W., that as either an actor or a
manager he could never tolerate the
ballet.
One day there came to him a friend,
a man about town, who said, "My dear
Wallack, it Is very curioua that you do
not see the beauties of imagination
shown by the poses of the ballet." Go
ing on in this strain, the visitor at last
wore out the patience of the actor
manager. who replied:
"Look here. It is bad enough to stand
these absurdities in an opera; but
though I can comprehend people sing
ing their joys. I am hanged if I can
their dancing their griefs."
A Doleful Mood.
The proprietor of a Paris cafe no
ticed that after he had refused to give
his pianist an Increase of salary the
number of his customers dwindled
rapidly. It was only when all but
one diner had deserted him that he
discovered that the pinnist had been
inflicting Chopin's "Funeral March"
.on the audience nightly. The pianist,
who was proceeded against in the law
courts and was fined 5 francs, pleaded
that he played according to the mood
he felt in after his request had been
; REFUND.
The Women of Belgium.
No one can travel In Belgium with
out being struck by the extraordinary
activity and prominence of the women.
Over the doors of shops of all descrip
tions the name of the owner or owners
is frequently followed by "Sisters" or
"Widow." You find them proprietors
of hotels and restaurants. They are of
ten custodians of the churches. They
are employed to tow the boats along
the canal banks. They cut up the meat
in the butchers' shops, and they are
even to be noticed shoeing horses at
the forge.—Liverpool Mercury.
Upse.i.ng His Theory.
"The heavy explosions of a battle al j
ways cause rain. It rained after Wa
terloo; it rained after Fontcuoy: it
rained after Marathon."
"But Marathon was fought wit I
! spears and arrows, niy clear."
"There you go. Always throwing j
j cold water on anything I have to say.' j
—Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Word Magnet.
Magnet is derived from the name of
the city of Magnesia, in Asia Minor, i
where the properties of the lodestone i
are said to have been discovered. It
has, however, been asserted that the
, name comes from Magnes. the name
, of a shepherd who discovered magnetic j
5 power by being held on Mount Ida, in |
j Greece, by its attraction for the nails |
in his shoes.
China and Japan.
Japan was originally civilized byway
of China. Today Japan sends men of
science to instruct the Chinese.

Soldsring Aluminium.
When holes appear in aluminium
utensils it Is not necessary to discard
the dishes ss no longer useful, for by
a simple method they can be made to
take solder. Insert a brass or copper
rivet In the hole, flatten both ends and
then solder over both the inside and
the outside surfaces in the usual man
ner. If you wish to solder a piece t<
I a sound part of the utensil use a shun
I awl to punch holes for holding spots o
! copper or brass. If the aluminium ii.
very thick cut the holes with a sninl.
drill held in a carpenter's bit brace.

Realism.
A certain fiction writer applied to a
friend, an interne in a hospital, for
tome local color for a tale he bad
based upon an occurrence in such an
institution.
The interne couldn't think of any
thing of moment, but the writer jog
ged his memory thus:
"Surely you know of some realistic
bit here that I could use."
"I have it!" suddenly exclaimed the
interne.
"Yes," eagerly came from the writer.
"Here is realism with a vengeance,"
said the youthful interne. "One of our
patients walked in his sleep because be
dreamed he bad no car fare."—New
