On taking down) the empty nest I

FOR THE CONTRIBUTION BOX.
A Convsnlent Arrsngsmsnt for Giving
Early and Often.
A custom among attendants of the
Greek Church st Treblsond explains
the use of certain tokens which have
been presented to tbe American Nu
mismatic Society In this clly.
According to tbe Journal of tbe so
ciety sometimes several collections
are made during the service in these
churches. Even should there be but
one, the visitor may desire to make a
apeclal contribution at the sbrlne or
picture of some of the sainta whose
Impression be desires to secure, or be
may wish to purchase a candle for use
In some of the ceremonials In public
or private devotions.
On entering the church, therefore.
be exchangee a certain sum of monry
with the deacon at the gate tor an
equivalent amount of these tokens. He
ts thus able to respond to the calls for
the various offerings during the ser
vice or to deposit his gift at tbe shr'ne
of the saint by using one or more of
these tokens as he may be disposed,
yet without any heavy demand on
his purse. These church tokens are
sometimes of brsss and sometimes if
paper.

with her basket on her arm, says Sir
Thomas Lip ton In the Strand, is en
titled to as much respect aa the lady
who comes In her carriage. When
Benjamin Franklin waa ambassador
at the French court, speaking to a
young man, he said: "Tbe last time
I saw poor father he received me In
his study. As I was leaving be showed
me a short way out of the house
through a narrow passage crossed by j
a beam overhead. Suddenly he cried: i
Stoop! Stoop!' I did not understand !
what be meant until I felt my bead !
bump against tbe beam. He was s
man who never failed to give good id-
vice. 'You are goln,' be said, 'and

Stoop as you go through It, and vou

have never failed to be Impressed by
this lesson of humility.

First Love.
It Is a popular fallacy that tbe first
love Is ths true one, unique In Its ex
cellence, says an exchange. As well
say that the first picture of a painter
Is the best of all he will paint In tbe
course of his life; that tbe first speech.
the first book, the first statue, the first
composition, will be tbe best of the
statesmen, novelist, sculptor or musi
cian, aa tbe case may be. First woiks
have all tbe Imperfections of uncer
tainty, of Inexperience and Ignorance.
And It la rather by chance than by
anything Inherent In the nature of
Cupid's ways that the first love turns
nt In be the great one.
Origin of Pasquinades.
Pasquinades Is a term frequently

Ro-ne at tbe close of tbs fifteenth cen
tury, and delighted his patrons with
his sarcastic humor.
