Peggle Newton had been a faithful bousehold drudge for years, and had not grumbled much when her wages were occasionally passed over. But as time went on, and her salary fell more and more into arrear, she ventured to ask for something “on account.” “Why, haven’t I paid you your wages lately, Peg? How careless of me,” her mistress said. “I’'m sorry I have no money in the house just now, but here’s a smart cloak that I've ceased to wear, and which {s only a wee bit out of fashion. You'll take it in lieu of wages, won't you?” “No, ma’'am, I'm sure I shan’t,” said Peg, wrathfully eying the faded old cloak. “A peg I may be by name, but I won’t be the sort of peg that people hang castoff clothes on—not if I know It.”—London Answers, = 014 Whist Terms. The following passage is from the Adventurer, No. 35, March 6, 1753: “On Sunday last a terrible fire broke out at Lady Brag’s, occasioned by the following accident: Mrs. Overall, the housekeeper, having lost three rubbers at whist running ‘without holding a swabber (notwithstanding she had changed chairs, furzed the cards and or- dered Jemmy, the footboy, to sit cross legged for good luck), grew out of all patierice and, taking up the devil's books, as_she called them, flung them Into the fire, and the flames spread to the steward’s room.” Swabbers are the ace of hearts, the knave of: clubs and the ace and-the deuce of trumps at whist. To furz or fuzz is to shuffle the cards very care- fully or to change the pack.—London Notes and Querles. ‘Why Rain Clouds Are Black. The color of a cloud depends on the manner In which the sunlight falls upon it and the position of the observer. It will be noticed that high clouds are ai- ways white or light in color, and this is because the light by which they are seen is reflected from the under surface by the numberless drops of molsture which go to form the cloud. Heavy rain clouds, on the other hand, are found -much nearer the earth, and so the light falls on them more directly from above, giving a silver lining to the cloud, though the undersurface- ap- pears black owing to the complete re- flection and absorption of the light by the upper layers. Scen from above by an observer in a balloon, the blackest raln clouds appear of the mnost dazzling- | ly brilliant white, Tennis and Lawn Tennis. There are thousands who imagine that tennis and lawn tennis are identi- cal. In America tennis, the mother game, is always known as court ten- nis, whereas lawn tennis 'is' gener- ally known ‘as “tennls.” The games are in many respects very aif- ferent. The court, which in lawn tennis is open, In tennis is ' closed at the back and sides by the walls, and almost Invariably above by a roof. There is a considerable amount of play off the back and side walls. The balls are harder than lawn tennis balls, be- ing, in fact, of the consistency “of cricket Dballs. Hence the rackets are heavier and the gut Is thicker.—Fry's Magazine. Songs and Sentiment. It is a singular fact that in propor- tlon to the wealth of melody of ‘a na- tlon so does its emotional side develop. Remarkable instances of this are'to be found in the United Kingdom. In Scotland, Ireland and Wales, countries rich in national songs, the emotional nature is strong. In England, where the melodies, if sweet, at any rate are not so touching and appealing, senti- ment is slight.—Liverpool Courler, ‘The History of M The ecclesiastical authorities divide the history of man into six-ages: First, feom Adam to Noah; second, from Noah to Abraham; third, from Abra- bham to David; fourth, from David ‘to the Babylonish captivity; fifth, from the captivity of Judah to the birth of Christ; siath, from the birth ‘of Christ to the end of the world. rroper Breathing. -According to a lecturer on-henlth.‘ people that breathe through the mouth, habitually neglecting the nose. the proper channel for the air supply, “have short upper lips, flat cheeks, ir- regular and decayed teeth, pigeon upturned noses”—a dreadful list of dire penalties, In truth, fearful enough to convert us all in a moment, yet usually never heeding as we pass.by, it is decidedly injurious to. breathe through the mouth. .

ORCHESTRA MUSIC The Human Electric Battery. The superstition that human belngs should sleep with their heads to the morth is believed by the French to have for its foundation a “sclentific fact.
