A tram car was going down a busy street one day and was already com fortably full when It was balled by a laboring man much the worse for liq uor, who presently staggered along the cor between two rows ' well dressed people regardless of polished shoes and tender feet. . . Murmurs and complaints arose on all Sides, and demands were beard that the offender should be ejected at once. But amid the-storm of abuse oue friendly voice was raised as a benevo lent clergyman rose from his scut, say ing: "No, nol Let the man sit down and be quiet." The discomfiture of the party tumid to mlrtb when the drunken one seized his benefactor by the band, exclaim ing: .: "Thank ye, sir tbault ye. 1 see you know what It Is to be tight!" London Answers.

It will probably be a matter of sur prise to the general reader to learn that the petticoat was first worn ex clusively by men. In tha reign of King Henry VII. the dress ot the English was so fantastic and absurd that It was difficult to distinguish one sex from the other. In the Inventory of Henry V, appears a "petticoat of red damask, with opeii sleeves." There is so mention of a woman's petticoat be fore the Tudor period. ; Cruel Blow.

In the yenr 1290 rose the greatest flood of which history makes any rec ord In Paris. "Men went in boats over the wall of the king's garden."

The Petit Pont fell Into the river also, but that was nothing wonderful, for It was the most unfortunate of bridges and never stood firmly for fifty years at a stretch, but was forever being de stroyed and regnlnrly rebuilt The waste of this flood was the signal for Philippe le Bel's rebuilding. Ililalre Belloc's "Paris." Points About a Good Horse. There are some points which are val uable In horses of every description. The head should be proportionately large nnd well set on. The lower Jaw bones should be sufficiently far apart to enable the bend to form an angle with the neck, which gives It free mo tion and a graceful carriage and pre vents It bearing too heavily on the hand. The eye should be large, a lit tle prominent, and the eyelids tine aud thin. The ear should be small and erect and quick in motion. The lop ear indicates dullness and stubborn ness. When too for back there is a disposition to mischief. An Odd Gypiy Custom.

Ginseng's Growth. The manner ot the ginseng's growth gives It a queer shape and In some cases fabulous value. There Is first a main root or trunk. Then on the sides there will be smaller roots, one on a aide, and by a curious formation the offshoots resemble arms aud legs, so that the full grown ginseng looks tor the world like a huniuu figure. The more the fancied likeness to the human form Is developed the greater the value, according to some ot the Chinese. The root as an herb bus wonderful properties, but too, so much beyond. Is the value of one that looks human. The others will cure cancers and all aorta ot other diseases, but the precious one having the hu man shape will keep off devils and all bad luck.
