A Sallors’ Christening, “The late Bishop Potter once in his early days had occasion to officlate at a christening in a small fishing village on the Massachusetts coast,” says a writer In Harper's Weekly. ‘“The proud father, a young fisherman; awk- wardly holding his firstborn daughter, ‘was visibly embarrassed under the scrutiny of the many eyes in the con- gregation, and his nervousness was not decreased by the sudden wailing of the infant as they stood at the front, “When the time for the baptism of the babe arrived the bishop mnoticed that the father was holding the child %0 that its fat little legs pointed toward the font. n ““Turn her this way,’ he whispered, but the father was too disconcerted to +hear or understand. “‘Turn her feet around,’ the bishop ‘whispered again, but still there was no response. The situation was fast be- coming critical, ‘when an ancient mari- ner in the back of the church came to the rescue. Putting his weather beaten hand to his mouth, he roared across the room, “Head her up to the wind, Jack!” Throw 'Em Down Babi “I wonder,” mused the young father, “what there is in a baby’s makeup that prompts him to drop things. It isn’t really dropping, though—it's throwing. My baby is good about sleeping and behaving when there is company, but everything hé can snateh he immediately flings to the floor. I've noticed and known a lot of others, too, who do the same thing. It's not only the joy of throwing, but the delight in seeing somebody plek the stuff up. Babies certainly seem to take a flend- ish delight in watching their fathers and mothers or nurses pick up the toys and other things which they throw out of their beds, carriages and chairs, My boy used to be quite pleas- ed with a rubber toy attached by a string to his carriage so that it just escaped the ground. He would grin and dangle it for hours. Now he yells as soon as he discovers it is fastened, and the minute we give it to him loose, bang, it goes on to the ground, while he laughs aloud in his joy. There’s probably a reason, and the psycholo- gists will discover it some day.’—HEx- change. The Holy Grail. . From a book reviewed a passage is quoted in which mention is made of “the holy grail, the sang-real or true blood of God.” This used to be a com- mon mistake, and so learned a man as Thomas Warton in his “Remarks on Spenser’s Imitations From Old Ro- mances” writes, “The holy grale, that is "the real blood of our Blessed Saviour” But this is wrong. I I8 the holy grale, or vessel, and does not mean real blood, though it contained the real blood, collected by Joseph of Arimathea. It was made from a dia- mond and emerald which fell from the crown of Satan when he fought with Michael. M: de Villemarque, who has ‘written about Armoric, legends, .says that this jewel was a diamond. The ‘word greal is old French, as I under- stand, for I have no knowledge my- self that it is so. In the legend of Percival It 1s shown that the grail is a vessel. “‘The holy graill>-Percival heard whispered by one voice after another. Then from the shining ves- sel Streamed an endless supply of the costliest dishes and wines.”—London Notes and Queries. A Poor Defen “Speaking of a poor defense,” said a lawyer, “reminds me of the valet"who ‘was accused of drinking his master’s ‘wine. To this valet the master said: “‘Look here, you! I belleve that you have been at this decanter of claret and then filled it up with water.” “‘0Oh, no, sir, said the valet in an aggrieved tone. “‘Well, it tastes like it said the master, and he set down his glass with a wry face. “4Oh, no, sir,’ said the valet excited- drink wine; in the second place, when I do drink it I mever think of filling the bottle up with water, and, in the third place, when I do put water in I always am very careful to add a lttle brandy o that the wine may not lose its strength.’” _ : Two Great Orators. As. an orator Demosthenes. was head and shoulders above Clcero ‘the Ro- man. The great Athenian stands in a class all by himself, if we are to be- lieve the consensus of learned opinion. Ofcero, it 18 said, prided himself on his faculty of extemporizing at need, but probably trusted little to it on great occasions, while with Demosthenes it ‘was the rule never to gpeak without the most careful preparation. The speeches of both were spoken without manuscript. They would never have made the reputation they did if they had been tied down to thelr notes.— New York American. Their Only Job. g “Why, Mrs. White,” began the sum- mer visitor newly returned to Say- mouth, “how those magples of yours have grown since last year! It's per- fectly amazing!” - “Oh, I don’t know’s it’s anything to wonder at,” sald Mrs. White easily, “They ain’t got anything else to do.”— Youth’s Companion. .

From that day on he lived a life of mourning. Thus on April 30 he had crape on his hat. “Have you lost a relative?” a friend asked. “Not exactly,” said he. ‘“But today is a sad anniversary for the French people. On April 30, 1524, the Chevaller Bayard died.” On May 2 he had crape on again. “Still mourn- Ing Bayard?’ said the friend.- “No,” sald he, “but don’t you remember that on May 2 a great and charming poet, Alfred de Musset, breathed his last?” On the 6th of the same month, “Whom are you mourning for now?”’ “For an honest man, General Caviagnac.” On the 80th, crying terribly, he said: “Ah, Joan of Arc! On this date, in 1431, a handful of Englishmen and a miser- able bishop put the gallant maid to death.” On July 13 he took a bath in memory of the assassination of Marat. On the 16th Beranger’s death gave him fatal shock. On the 18th, having d of Napoleon’s departure to St. Helena, he felt better, but on the 23d the bombardment of Dieppe by the English, in 1694. confined him again to his bed. He was taken with a fever and died on the 22d, muttering, “In a month the massacre of St. Bartholo- mew!”—New York Sun. Eloquence of the Welsh. Here {8 a little story of an English- man in Wales: “On the comparative qualities of the English and Welsh tongues let me tell of the Welshman who saluted me in the Welsh. I was compelled to confess ignorance. ‘Ah,’ he said, turning fluently enough to English, ‘you should learn the Welsh! My wife was Bnglish, and she can speak conversations now quite well.’ “I acknowledged my shortcomings and admitted that I had always under- stood the Welsh to be a remarkably eloquent tongue. ‘Yes, yes, it iss so,’ sald the native. ‘In Welsh a man can express exactly what he means. As for, the English, I call it not a language at all—only a dialect. “‘You haf noted that an' Englishman or a foreigner in speaking his language ‘waves his hands and arms about to help out-the meaning of the words, but a Welshman who can speak Welsh well he hass no need to move his hands. In the Welsh he can say all that he means.’ ”—Chicago News. Fife Wheat. Years ago, about a century, David Fife., a Scotchman’ of Otonabee, Ont., sent to a friend in Glasgow for a small bag of seed wheat to try in a cleared patch of the backwoods. The friend obtained some seed from a vessel just in from' D: Unfortu- nately it was a fal Teached David Fife in the everthe- less David Fife sowed it in spring. One can guess how feverishly the backwoods farmer watched for the growth of his experiment.” Only three wheat heads survived till the fall, but those three wheat heads were entirely free of the rust that had ruined his neighbor’s crops, and those three heads really represented a new variety of wheat, a fall wheat turned into a spring wheat. ‘David Fife treasured the three heads and planted them in spring. . Such was' the beginning of Fife wheat in America.—Aghes C. Laut in Outing Magazine, 3 Unsettled. Skinner—Good morning, ma’am.
