The shield, so marked, became ‘the arms of Barce- lona, which became part of Aragon, and its arms were taken by that lking- dom. Now to the royal standard: In the first quarter or upper left hand part of the flag are the arms of Leon and Castile, the lion and the castle. The second quarter is taken up one- half by the arms of Aragon, one-half by the arms of Sicily. The upper third of the third quarter—directly under the first—shows the Austrian colors. The lower two-thirds is divided be- tween the flag of Burgundy and -the {true mechanie, but not necessarlly the iman who will get out the most or even the best work while working for a boss, says Charles Henry in the Work- ers’ Magazine. On the contrary, he will often be considered the lazy man by the foreman when the work is of an ever recurring character. Let, how- ever, some difficulty arise in connec- tion with a job or have some hard proposition to meet and he will always have a suggestion to offer that will help to solve the problem, while the ordinary man and the hustler will stand around helpless and often dis- interested.

It reminds me of the Turkish pasha and his wife. “A Turkish pasha lay dying. He summoned to him the youngest and fairest of his forty-six wives and said to her in a low, weak voice: i, “‘Put on your richest costume, your most brilliant jewels. Deck your hair with pearls and brighten your finger tips with henna.’ 3 “The young wife blushed. Even in her grief she was flattered. “‘And why, my lord,’ she said, ‘do you desire me to make this sumptuous tollet? “‘So that death when it comes,” the sman replied, ‘seeing you so beautiful, may perhaps carry you off instead of mes?” ° Motion of the Sun. Gwing' to the revolution of the earth the sun seems to make its daily cir- cuit around us, which of course is not the case. But the sun is revolving about its center quite as truly as the earth is. It was one of the conceptions of that most remarkable man, Sir John Herschel, that the whole solar system had a motion in space and was ad- vancing toward a point in the heavens near the star Hercules. Sir John’s con- ception—as bold an idea as ever en- tered the human mind—is now gener- ally accepted by astronomers, and the opinion is quite universal among them | that the entire system Is tracing out a curvilinear path in space, a course around some mighty center, probably at Hercules. Good Enough to Charge For. When Willlam H. Scott was man- aging ¢lerk in the early sixties for the firm of Cleveland & Titus, a client came in and wanted an opinion right away. No member of the firm was in. Accordingly, Mr. Scott, with some hesi- tation, wrote the opinion. When his principal, Mr. Cleveland, came in, he explained the circumstances and show- ed him the opinion. Mr. Cleveland looked at him with a smile and then read it with care. “Humph,” said he; “pretty poor opinion, but it will do to charge.”—New York Times. A Caustic Reply. A. gentleman’ once said to a barrister, “That was a yery good sermon of your father’s today.” To which he replied: “Yes. He must have cribbed it from some one.” But the father overheard this remark and reminded him that the Bible says, “The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master’s crib.” This caustic reply silenced the barrister.— London Telegraph. of an old New England house, com- plete as to windows, curtains, lawn, garden, trees and even including a hammock with a tiny hat and summer novel and washing stretched out on a clothesline on the back steop. This was for a dinner given to several lit- erary friends in New York, and when the coffee was served he deliberately set fire to the whole farm. His ex- planation was that had it been spared his guests might have forgotten the affair, but they would always remem- ber the destruction of the house. No one who ever saw the little house go up in smoke on its little hill of damp moss will ever forget it. - The Misplaced Comma. “Some lawsuits of the highest im- portance have hinged upon the right placing of a comma,” said a judge. “When I first started to practice law a Missouri editor came to me in a peck of trouble to defend him against a threatened libel suit growing out of faulty punctuation. He had not meant to give some innocent young women the slightest offense when he wrote a story about ‘two young men who went with their girls to attend a lecture and after they left, the girls got drunk. Putting that miserable little comma out of its right piace did the work, as it made the girls the ones who became inebriated instead of their escorts. I managed by proper diplomacy and the publication of a neat apology to stave off the damage suits, and afterward my editorial friend became an expert on punctuation.”—Baltimore American, Taunting. Old Noah hunted up a barrel stave and started off for the stern of the ark. “Where are you going?’ asked Mrs. Noah, & “I am going to whale that boy Ham,” replied Noah, with a frown. “But, my dear, the lad is only play- Ing on his banjo.” “Yes, but it is the tune he is play- g “And what is the tune?” ““Wait Till the Sun Shines, Lizzie.’ ” ~Chicago News.
