On the Htntute book of Scotland la still an act passed in 1H25 ordering that "na ninn piny futeball," because It is "esteemed to be unprolilable sport for the common glide of the realme and defense thereof." There In also a statute iiKHliiHt alien Immigration, pass ed fn 1431, and authorizing "all hit majesty's subjects" to "take, appre hend, Imprison and execute to death tho said Kglptlnns (gypsies), either men or women." Probably It Wonld. In a Sunday school the class was under a question on the sacrament. The Rscrniiient of matrimony was tak en up, and a seven-year-old startled her tenctier when replying to a ques tion 11s to the necessity for this sticrn ment liy answering: "No. Matrimony is tot ncrcxsiiry to snlvatlon, but should a favorable opportunity afford it would be sinful to neglect It." Infalr. "I a'pnse It's nil right," "aid Mr. New tfch. "Hut It doesn't seem fair." "What doesn't hopiu fair?" "For Matilda to scold because I want to eat dinner in my shirt sleeves. I tfon't make any fuss about her party dresses, an' they haven't any sleeves ut all." Fora-lreaeas, Llttlo flve-ycar-old Edith was taken to a dentist, who removed an aching tooth. Thut evening at prayers her mother was surprised to bear her say, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our dentists." Cynical. "Why," said tho sweet girl, "do they any that love Is of the heart?" "To show." said the old bachelor "to how thut the brains have nothing to do with It Guarantee Bond THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that the Wise Furnace Co. fully warrants andguaran- tees the Fire Fot in the Wise Furnace (No ) pur- chased by... to be in good condition (ex- J cept in case of misuse or abuse) for a period of Five Years from date hereof ; and 6hould the fire pot in said furnace require replacing f within that time the Wise 5 Furnace Co. agrees to fur- nish one to the said f free of charge.

Ind In Knglund there Is a superstition that If It rains on that dnte the suc ceeding forty days will be wet, and If, on the contrary, St. Bwtthln'i day be fair then the succeeding twoscore days will llkewiso be pleasant. The su perstition Is venerable, for one old his torian remarks that "Ht. Hwlthln, a holy bishop of Winchester, about the year HfU) was called ie weeping Ht Bwlthln, for that about his feast I'rao sepe and A sell I, rainy constellations, arise cosmlcally and commonly cause ruin." Another version of the story Ik that the good bishop loft orders at his death that he should be burled In the open churchyard and not in the chancel. The monks, however, disobeyed the wishes of their dead and laid htm to rest on July in vltliln the minster, whereupon rain fell heavily and con tinually till on the fortieth day the of fending priests became alarmed and hastened to fulfill their dead bishop's request. Statistics furnished by the officials at Orocnwlch observatory discredit the accuracy of the whole tale. The figures for one period of twenty years go to show that the greater number of rainy days after Ht. Swlthln's day followed a dry July in. A PAINTER'S ARTIFICE. Tho Bepret of the Color In Oma of Tamer's Pictures. The late Mr. llorslcy, It. A., has ro cordi.Ml that at one time he studied al most dully one of Turner's finest water colors, called "The Huowdon Hange," admiring especially the tender warmth of the light clouds encircling tho moon, lie tried all aorta of glasses to see If he could discover bow the particular glow was gained, but without success. Chance revealed the secret. The pic ture began to buckle from Its mount, and Its owner, Sir Seymour Iladcn, put It Into the bands of a noted expert to be remounted. When he had suc cessfully removed it from its old mount the export sent for the owner to show him what he bad discovered. A circle of orange vermilion bad been plastered on tho back with an Ivory palette knife where the artist wanted the effect and then worked off sufficiently far through the porea of the previously wetted pa per to give tho show of color, while re taining the smooth surface, without a trace of workmanship on the right Ide. This may have led Mr. Iloraley him self to use, as he did, brilliant orange aa the foundation for a white muslin dress. OPEN AIR STATE JAIL. Prlasltlvo Plaeo of Coali.in.il la Moslmviro The open air state Jail of Cettlnje, Montenegro, la unique tn Europe. This primitive place of confinement la sit uated In the principal public square of the Montenegrin capital. Persons guilty of such minor offenses as as sault or petty thefts are sentenced to imprisonment In the open air Jail. The prisoners are allowed to roam about the square at will, the mere fact that they have been deprived of their weap ons being considered appropriate pun ishment At night the prisoners are removed to a room in the town ball, where they have far more comfortable quarters than they would have at home. The thought of escaping from their open air Jail seldom occurs to them, and even If It did there la no place where they eonld find refuge. The Montenegrins are, above all, men of honor, and were a prisoner to escape the population of Cettlnje would soon be at the heels of the fuglUve guilty of having broken his promise not to at tempt to escupe. New York Tribune. A Clock Wlthoat Works. In the courtyard of the palace of Ver sailles is a clock with one hand, called L'IIorl6ge de la Mort du Roi. It con tains no works, but consists merely of a face In the form of a sun, surrounded by rays. On the death of a king the hand la set to the moment of his. de mise and remains unaltered till his suc cessor has Joined him in the grave. This custom originated under Louis XIII. and continued till the revolution. It was revived on the death of Louis XVIII., and the hand sUll continue fixed on the precise moment of that monarch's death. Appearance m Protactloa, "Appearances are deceitful" la an old saying, which was illustrated by an old lady In one of our banks a few day ago. Bhe drew out a sum very near the $1,000 mark. The banker kindly asked her if she did not wish an escort to ber destination in order to Insure pro tection for the large amount Looking calmly at the banker, ah replied, "Why, nobody would think I had more than 91.26!"

Tim walls of the chimin, 4110 foet. high, wore spanned by n rainbow. The charm of these falls lies not In (he one overwhelming cranh as at Niagara, but In the cumulative ef fect of various glimpses, the matchless beauty of the surroundings and the strungcm-MS of thp whole sotting, but chiefly In tho columns of spray, called the "thundering smoke" and In the ever changing rainbows.
