ble is not intended to teach us that Cod
reverses His pardons to any, but that lie
denies them to those who are not worthy
of them. Those who have not foruiveii
others their trespasses have never yet truly
repented, and that which is spoken of as

OLD WARLIKE STICKS.
(iroteaqiio KliitTa Tlmt Were Formerly
t nrrlril In ICuitltinil,
In former times In England walk
ing sticks were commonly carried by
both male nnd female heads of fam
ilies. Queen Elizabeth curried one of
these toward tlio end of her life.
Sticks were then used chiefly as em
blems of authority. The monstrous
sticks shown In the engraving are
drawn from specimens which have
been preserved by dealers In London.
These a century ugo wero common
nnd might have been soon by the thou
sand, borne by tall footmen behind
ladles dressed In old hooped dresses,
the fashion of those days. At that
time, also, there was a taste for vari
ous kinds of monsters, In chinu, wood
and other muterlals. Monkeys and pet
dogs wore made pets of and the sticks
of the footmen were fashioned into
grotesque forms. These sticks were
about site feet high and were Jn part
painted and gilt. Dr. Johnson, Oliver
Qoldsmlth and a host of other literary
lights and celebrities considered a
good stick as necessary as a coat.
A Mclllilil Statesman.
A correspondent from Palermo gives
a curious sketch of the deputy, Slg.
l'allzzolo, whose arrest on the charge
of having procured the murder of
Commondatore Notarbartolo six years
nen bv hired assassins has caused such
I a sensation throughout Italy. He was
known to dispose of the forces of the
Mafln, the Irrepressible secret organi
zation of crime in Sicily, and his houso
was besieged by a clientele of persons
desirous of his influence, lawful or il
licit. Of these he dally heid a levee
in the most literal sense, as he re
ceived In bed, got up and performed
all the operations of the toilet In pub
lic. In the heterogeneous crowd ma
gistrates, Judges, and public functlon
tirles, were intermingled with suspi
cious characters or tlcket-of-leave men
seeking permission to cany arms, civic
oflli'L'.ls desirous of municipal con
tracts, students anxious for a certifi
cate of a scholastic yeur or term they
hud not passed, all the rank and flit
of the army of corruption were ut his
le'tialde or in his ante-room. Collier's

"What a Memory!"
A schoolmaster, who had beotj tell

with: "And nil this happened over
1.500 years ago." A little boy, hla blue

a moment's thought: "Oh, what a
memory you've got,"

It is necessary llrst of all to have the t
