Lords and Commons.
An ancient English custom forbids
the participation of a peer in the elec
tion of a commoner, so that when a
general election is actually in progress
the lords are oratorically muzzled by
a fiction that supposes them to be quite
Indifferent to the composition of the
lower house, but until the candidates
fcave been actually nominated the
peei-s may use all the eloquence with
which nature has endowed them for or
against the issue involved in the ap
proaching election.

Th& Human Face.
Itosa Bonheur, the great painter of
animals, had a system of mnemonics
which was exceedingly quaint. She
could trace in the faces of those peo
ple who visited her a resemblance to
some sort of animal. For instance, tf
some one reminded her of a certain
lady she would probably hesitate for
a moment and then say, "Oh. yes, the
lady with the camel face!" or, "Oh, I
remember—she had a cow face!" This
memory system was not flattering to
her friends, but it showed how satu
rated she was with a knowledge of an
imals and their characteristic. On ev
ery human face she found a likeness to
some animal she had studied and de
lineated.

A Lost Mine.
Among the famous lost mines of the
western world and one which is again
being sought is the Tisiugall of Costa
Rica. It is said to have yielded great
quantities of gold in the time of (lit
Spanish domination. After quelling
the Indian uprisings, however, the
Spaniards failed to relocate the mine.
It is thought that it dies bidden in the
bed of one of the larger streams. :
Many legends are heard dealing with
its wonderful richness, and many at
tempts have boon made to find it, but
so far without avail.—Argonaut.
Trap For Quotation Experts.
if any one wants a catch question to
spring on a gathering of self confessed
literary sharps let him ask whence
comes the quotation. "One touch of
nature makes the whole world kin."
This is one of the six best sellers in
the world of quotations, yet not one
person in a hundred knows where it
comes from. It is comparatively easy
to guess the author, but almost i: ipos !
sible to find a person who can name
the work.
One could build any number of par 1
lor games around "One touch of nature '
makes the whole world kin." Try li.-

The Hungarian Crown.
The llnng.irian crown worn at thoii
accession by the emperors of Austria j
as kings of Hungary is the idem in :
one made for Stephen and used at hi
coronation over SOU years ago. Th
whole is of pure gold, except the set
tings, and weighs almost exactly fou r
teen pounds. The settings above allud
ed to consist of fifty-three sapphires,
fifty rubies, one emerald and 33S
pearls. It w'il be noticed that there are
no diamonds among these precious
adornments. This is accounted for by
lh oft quoted story of Stephen's aver
sion to such gems because he eonsid j
ered them "unlucky."
A False Alarm.
"I know something, I do. about a

"Oh. dear!" exclaimed Miss Slithers.
"Half a dollar is ail 1 have, Bobby.

"Sure. I will." answered Bobby in
surprise. "But it ain't not bin* on you,
