A friend of the writer recently made application for a public appointment in a small Scottish town, and, thinking that his chances of success would be greater by a little judiclous canvass- Ing, he resolved to call upon a few of the town couircilors, in whose hands the appointment lay. Of the civic dig- nitaries’ position in private life he knew nothing. Journeying to the town in question, he hired a cab at the rail- way station and requested the jehu to take him to Councilor Bisset’s, the treasurer. The councilor was found in his blacksmith's shop shoeing a horse. “I'll see somebody of more impor- tance than this, anyhow,” sald the can- didate to himself, and, turning to the driver, he said, “Drive me to Councilor Maitland's office.” The cabman thereupon drove him to the local joiner’s shop. This was worse even than the smithy, and in despair he ejaculated: “Drive me to Councilor Gray’s.” “I am Councilor Gray, sir,” replied the cabman, The answer staggered the candidate. He quietly paid his fare and disap- peared, resolved to leave his fate in their hands without prejudicing them in any way in his favor. — London Standard. When Life Was Little Valued. The 223 capital offenses which the old English law recognized as punish- able by death did not keep down crime, and with the abolition of the death penalty for all crimes but murder crime in England, as well as every- where else all over the world where the death penalty has been modified, lessened markedly, notes the Boston Traveler. Edmond Burke said that he could in his time obtain the assent of the house of commons to any bill that car- rled the death punishment. A man’s life was not very valuable in those strenuous days. If he scratch- ed his name on Westminster bridge, If he wore a wig or false mustache or any other disgulse on a public road, if he cut down a young tree, if he stole property worth more than $1.25, if he had been transported for crime and re- turned a day ahead of the expiration of his term of punishment, if he wrote a threatening letter, if he stole a hide from a tanner’s, for any and all of these things and for 200 more than these he was hanged by the neck until he was dead.

The stranger had been searching nearly half an hour among the mys- terlous curving ways of the park for Fenway street. At last the trim figure of a hurrying student attracted her eye, and she resolved to ask for the necessary information, « “Can you tell me, please, where Fen- way street is?” she asked. “Yes, indeed,” answer “Why, we're in it now.” “Yes?' The stranger looked rather helplessly around at the wealth of shrubbery, the smooth roads that seemed to lead only to Mrs. Gardner’s green roofed palace. “But I wanted to find a certain number on Fenway street.” “Oh!” said the student, a helpless ex- pression for a moment clouding her face. “Do you know, there’s a street down there.” She pointed a daintily gloved hand straight into a clump of elms. “I don’t know the name of it. I never did know that it had a name. Why don’t you try that one?”—Boston Her- ald. Pretty Strong Lungs. In “Through Luzon on Highways and Byways"” the author, a naval offi- cer, tells this expansive story. We vouch for the story only, not for the facts: ‘While traversing this attractive coun: try, which offers so much to tempt the husbandman, we met with no sign of life until nearing a village, where could be seen native hunters after deer and carabao. The carabao furnishes a fine quality of meat and has a peculiar, instinctive trait in being the only deni- zen of the forest that can protect it- self against the boa constrictors, which are somewhat numerous in these parts. ‘When the carabao is pounced upon by the boa and the reptile has wrapped {tself round the body for the squeezing process of killing the animal, the cara- bao slowly draws in its sides untll the boa has his grip fixed securely and begins to tighten up, when suddenly the carabao inflates his lungs to thei fullest and spreads his sides, tearing the vertebrae of the reptile into a thou- sand pieces. How Tea Lead Is Made. Tea lead for lining tea chests is su- perior at least from the standpoint ot cheapuess to any other metal. Accord- Ing to an article in the Brass World, the method practiced by fhe Chinese in the manufacture of tea lead is to press molten lead between two flat stones. The excess of lead is melted in an iron| kettle by a direct fire underneath. Rice | paper is carefully smoothed down over nonconductor of heat and thus pre- vent the chilling of the lead. The! stones are now placed flat upon .the| the stones are opened like a book. A ladle full of melted lead is now poured In between the stones, and the top one is quickly dropped. The lead is squeez- ed out until only a thin layer is left. Tea lead usually runs from .005 to .10 inch in thickness. An Untamed Marquis. The father of the Marquis of Bute had an amusing experience in the neighborhood of Rothesay. He met a cockney traveler who asked to be di- rected to a certain place. Deceived by the marquis’ accent, the visitor took him for a southron and took occasion to make supercilious remarks about the barbarous islanders of Bute. He said, “Blime me, I suppose you're like me, an Englishman?” “No,” responded the marquis; “I”’m a natlve of Bute, this island.” “Good gracious!” exclaimed the Lon- doner, in amazement. “Then who in the dooce tamed yer?’ Lord Bute assumed a fierce expres- slon and, raising a ponderous cudgel he was carrying, said angrily, “Who says I'm tame?’ The alarmed cock- ney turned and fled —Pall Mall Gazette. Two Cures For the Blues. “What do you do when you have the blues?” asked the first woman. “I walk up Fifth avenue and look in all the jewelers’ windows and at the orchids and high priced hats. What do you do?’ “I go way down to Rivington street and look at the wretched poor women with seventeen children struggling in the dirt. That makes me thankful my affairs are no worse” — New York Press. Its Worth. The actress, having been arrested for running her automobile seventy miles an hour, was describing the superb car to a reporter. The young man inquired: 5 “How much did you say it was worth?” “At least two columns on the front page,” she answered absently.—Kan- sas City Independent. Shut Her Off.

I don’t tell that I am studying theol- ogy. 1If 1 did I wouldn’t find it so eusy to hold this job. I'm one of. the down-ou-liis-luck students who has to work his way through college.

In the somewhat famous case of Mrs. Bodgen's will, which was tried in the Massachusetts supreme court many years ago, Daniel Webster ap- peared as counselor for the appellant. Mrs. Greenough, wife of the Rev. Wil- llam Greenough of West Newton, was a very self possessed witness. Not- withstanding Mr. Webster's repeated efforts to disconcert her she pursued the even tenor of her way until Web- ster, becoming quite fearful of the re- sult, arose, apparently in great agi- tation, and, drawing out his large snuffbox, thrust his thumb and finger to the very bottom and, carrying a deep pitich to both nostrils, drew it up with gusto, and then, extracting from his pocket a very large handkerchief, he blew his nose with a report that.rang distinet and loud through the crowded hall. He then asked, “Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman?” “I cannot give you full information as to that, sir. She had one very dirty trick,” replied the witness. “What was that, madam?” “She took snuff.” Most Popular of Pictures. The best known picture in the world, it has been said, is Vandyke’s portrait |of James II. of England as an infant, ~popul:uly Lnown as Baby Stuart. Two | million copies of it are said to be in | American homes, and it is equally | popular in England and continental Eu- rope. This is not because it is a por- j trait of a child who became king, but |because it is a masterly piece of in- The plump, round | cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by a tight fiting cap, appeal to every loy- er of children.

She Told Him a Lie. wisely, and the next morning his con- science as well as his head smote him pretty considerably. Yet he managed to struggle down to breakfast and to make an attempt to toy with the dainty and tempting dishes which his dear lit- tle wife had-thoughtfully provided. “Cecil,” said his better half gently as she watched his ineffectual endeav- ors to do justice to the matutinal re past, “I am afraid that I told you a lie yesterday, and I want you to for- give me, dear.” “A lle?” he asked wonderingly. “Yes. As you left the house you will remember I said to yon, home early, darling? true!” And he went out a sadder and wiser man, : Well, it wasn’t Mountains Had Not Moved. The story is told that when Judge William Rogers was chairman of the school committee in a Néw England town oné examination day he went dle grade. He asked a boy named Rock where the Rocky mountains were. The boy answered correctly, but failed to be promoted that term. The following year the judge asked the same question. Rock replied, “The same place they were last year.” Wholesome Fear. Miss H., the principal of a grammar school, was investigating a case brought her by a puplil. “Are you quite sure that was the way it happened, Mrs. P.?" “Miss H., that was just the way. I'm telling you the truth. T wouldn't dare tell you a lje. I'm not well enough today.”—Woman's Home Companion. University Tests. One might say that the first test at Oxford is athletic ability, the next so- clability and the final scholastic abil- ity.
