The mastiff that lay below the sarface In Bismarck grew more and more Infuriated, especially If the even- Ing before he had eaten and drunk co- piously. With these parents, Herbert, Jane and Bill Blsmarck cquld not be expected to have courteous manners. Herbert, who was no stranger In Paris and whom the fond father hoped one day to send there as ambassador, was bulky, sullen and of a complexion that revealed an angry state of the blood. Gambetta sald of him, “He reminds me of a limb of the law hardened to the work of laying on executions—in short, of a low class balliff (recors).”— London Truth, The Machine Worker. The American boy is thoroughly im- bued with the get-rich-quick spirit, whether in a greater or lesser degree, The learning of a trade is too slow, too tedious and offers too lttle Immedi- ate inducement. Why should he work as an apprentice at 4 to 8 cents an hour after reaching the age of seven- teen or elghteen when he can earn 10 to 15 cents at piecework running a ma- chine? Once he has entered the door of the plecework shop the boy is doom- ed to the pieceworker's life. Once the machine gets its grip upon him he nev- er escapes. The rare exception only proves the rule. Not only does the monotony of the reduplicative work upon which he enters choke his ambi- tlon and devitalize his life, but usually he enters upon this narrow life work with very little equipment and a view bounded by a horizon equally narrow. There Is little to develop, even when there Is some ambition to begin with.— 0. M. Becker in Engineering Magazine. Seven In the Bible. The number seven plays a prominent part In events in the Bible. The crea- tlon took six days, and on the seventh there was rest. On the seventh day of the seventh month a holy observance ‘was ordained, and the Israelites feast- ed seven days and rested seven days. Noah had seven days’ warning of the flood, and the seven years of plenty were foretold in Pharaoh’s dream by seven fat beasts, as were the seven years by sevgn lean beasts. We speak of the severgheavens, and the seventh son was supposed to be exdowed with pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is no other number which enters Into the Bible so often as seven. No doubt the ‘wide popularity of the.number and the superstitions which are connected with it came from its wide use in the Bible ‘ Sir Walter Scott’s ¥irat Briet, Sir Walter Scott had his share of the usual curious experiences shortly after being called to the bar. His first ap- pearance as counsel in a criminal court was at Jedburgh assizes In 1793, when he successfully defended a veteran poacher. “You're a:.lucky scoundrel,” Scott whispered to his client when the verdict was glven. “I'm.just o' your mind,” returned the latter, “and I'll send you a maukin (i e, a hare) the morn, man.” Lockhart, who narrates the incident, omits to add whether tha maukin duly reached Scott, but no doubt it did. On another. vccasion Scott was less successful In his defense of a housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful for his counsel’s exertions, gave him, in lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was unable to pay, this piece of advice, to the value of which he (the housebreak- er) could professionally attest: First, never to have a large watchdog out of doors, but to keep a little yelping ter- rler within, and, secondly, to put no trust in nice, clever, gimecrack locks, but to pin his faith to a huge old heavy one with a rusty key. Scott long re- membered this incident, and thirty years later,-at a judges’ dinner at Jed- burgh, he recalled it in this impromptu rhyme: * Yelping terrler, rusty key, Was Walter Scott's best Jeddart fee. —Westminster Gazette. ‘Wastelasket Treasures. “I have in my employ,” sald a dealer in autographs, “a number of- celebri- tles’ housemaids. Thanks to these young women, I secure at nominal cost many an autographic gem. All I ask of the malids is that they ship me week- ly the contents of thelr masters’ waste- baskets. They bale the stuff up In burlap, and every Monday or Tuesday It comes to me by freight. I go over it carefully, making many finds, Here will be a begging letter from a famous author In hard luck.

A still summer’s evening, ‘quiet and almost sad. The trees nodded sleepily, as if hushing the world to rest. Sud- denly the silent beauty was rudely dis- turbed. The clattering: of a horse’s hoofs broke the sllence into a thousand echoes. A horseman dashed through the scented lanes, rage glittering from his eyes. He sprang from his horse and rushed into the still homestead and dragged forth Farmer Brown. “Why, what be matter, Squire Tamp son?” queried the worthy farmer it sleepy surprise. “Matter?” repeated the squire. “Why, matter enough, to be sure! Your great lubberly son Jack has run off with my beautiful daughter Maud.” “Has he, really?” crled the farmer, mow thoroughly awake. “Thee’rt right t' call 'im a lubberly idjut.
