Ablo to Hear It. Joseph Medill of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat deaf, althopgh his abil- Ity at times to hear what was sald In an ordinary toue of voice was frequent- ly remarked. It is related of him that he dropped into the business depart- ment of the office one day to make an inquiry about something that -had oc- curred to him, and a young man who had been in his employ only a few months undertook in a loud tone of voice to enlighten him. “What did you say?” asked Mr. Me- dill, putting his hand to his ear. The young man repeated the ques- tion in a still louder voice. = “I can’t hear you,” said the editor. “Oh, chase yourself around the block, you old granny!” muttered the impa- tient employee just above his breath. “I am not an old granny,” safd Mr. Medlll, turning away, “and 1 shall not shase myself around the block.” The fresh young maa made imme- diate arrangements to say goodby to his job, but the great editor probably thought that the lesson he had re- cetved was sufficient and did not dis- turb him. A Famous London Tavern. The Mermaid was the name of a fa- mous London tavern frequented by noted lterary men and actors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the wit and talent of the time assembled there for convivial enjoyment. Au- thors have made it the scene of great mind combats between such men as Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, Beaumont, Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Donne and others of reverential memory. It was the gathering place of the celebrated Mermaid club, the origin of which is ascribed to Sir Walter Ralelgh. The Mermaid tavern was located in Bread street and was handlly reached from three thoroughfares, so that it has been often referred to in various ways. The Mermaid in Bread street, the Mer- maid in Friday street and the Mermaid in Cheap street were, however, all one and the same. It was the nearest to Bread street. The Mermaid was de- stroyed in the great London fire. There were other Mermaid taverns, one in Cheapside and another in Cornhill, but they had no such associations as clung to that of Bread street. A Queer Census. “When I was last in India,” said the globe trotter, “they were taking the census, The returns were most re- markable, In the Allahabad census thirty-five citizens described them- Helves as- ‘men who rob with threats of .violence.’ There were 226 ‘fatter- ers' for gain,’ There were twenty-five ‘hereditary thieves.’ There were twen- ty-nine ‘howlers at funerals’ There were 145 ‘ear cleaners’ There were seventy-six ‘makers of crowns for idols? There were fourtecen ‘heredi- tary painters of horses .with spots.” There were nine ‘professional false ‘witnesses.” . “It seems remarkable, doesn’t it? Maybe, though, if we, too, told the strict truth to the census taker our own census would scem quite as quaint as that of Indla.”, Mathematics. “Now, boys,” said a ‘schoolmaster, “a cabman’ who drove at the rate of six miles an hour left London, being followed three minutes later by anoth- er driver proceeding at the rate of seven miles an hour. they meet?” - “At the nearest public house!” an- swered a promising scholar.—London mwit-Bits. ‘Where would On a New Footing. Mr. Absalom Woote, an eccentric old gentleman who had grown tired of life in the city, decided to move to some smaller “town, free from the roar of traffic, the bustle and confusion of the thronging multitude, where he could end his days tranquilly, as became a man of his age. In casting about for a location, his eye chanced to light upon the advertisement in a village paper of one Thomas R. Foote, who wanted to dispose of his -boot and shoe store at a bargain, having made up his mind to remove to the city. “That's the very thing,” he said. “Selling shoes i3 a nice easy occupa- tlon. It will give me just enough to flo to keep me from stagnating, and it won’t wear me out with overwork. I'll investigate it. It's queer, though, that his name s Foote, my name is Foote, he wants to come to the city and I want to go to the country.” A visit to the little fown decided him. He liked its appearance and lo- cation, He.was pleased, moreover, with “Foote’s Shoe Store” and bought it, good will and all, at a bargain. “Well,” sald the other Mr. Foote, “you won’t have to change the sign.” “No,” he answered slowly. “I’ll just add a little to 1t.” The next day he added this, just below the sign: “This placee has changed feet.” Ringing the Breakfast Bell. An American famlly who had expe- rlenced the difficulty of obtaining and retaining the services of a rellable kitchen girl while on a visit to Ireland became acquainted with a promising young girl and brought her back home with them. In a few weeks she was installed in her new home and made acquainted with her new dutles. Among other things she was told that it was cus- tomary when breakfast ‘was ready to be served to ring the breakfast bell. Her “all right, mum,” came in such a confident tone that her mistress gave the matter no further thought. The following morning at 6 o’clock the family were rudely awakened by the violent ringlng of the front door- bell. Thinking that a messenger must be walting with some unusual mes- sage, the gentleman of the house did not stop to dress, but hurried down in hin night robe and opened the door. The new kitchen girl awaited him, her face beaming with a beautiful smile of triumph. Bowing low, she sald in her rich Irish brogue, “Breakfast Is ready, sor.”—Los Angeles Times. Diamond Cutting. It 1s said that before the fourteenth century no one knew how to cut and polish diamonds. They were esteemed for their marvelous hardness, but not greatly admired for beauty. There is a tradition that a Journeyman jeweler in Flanders, Louls Van Berghem, dis- covered the art of cutting diamond with diamond. But it is probable that he only made some notable advance in the art since associations of diamond cufters had existed in France and Flanders from the fourteenth century. Louls Van Berghem’s most famous achievement was the cutting and pol- ishing of a huge diamond belonging to Charles the Bold. Charles was so de- lghted with the result that he reward- ed the artist liberally and declared that the diamond would now serve him for a bedroom lamp., This jewel, ‘which was found on Charles’ body aft- er the battle of Nancy, is still in ex- istence and celebrated under the name of the Sancy diamond.—Youth’s Com- panion. Approaching 1t Gradually. An old farmer, on paying his rent, i told his landlord he wanted some tim- ber to build a house and would be much obliged to him if he would give permission to cut down wood tor the | 2 purpose, The landlord answered peremptorfly, i “No. “Why, then, sir,” sald he, “will you glve me enough to build a barn?" “No.” “To make a gate, then?’ “Yes.” “That’s all I wanted,” said the farm- er, “and more than I expected.”—Pear- son’s Weekly. Complimentary to Him. . “Really,” sald Cholly Bappey, “1 cawn’t understand Miss Rood at all. She actually called me a crank.” “The idea!” exclalmed Miss Cutting. “How flattering!” “Fiattering?" ) “Yes; a crank, you know, {8 & man tvith one idea.”—Catholic Standard and Times.

Those who reason that all lumber is alike beeause it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There’s as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don’t buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. ‘Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn’t leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.
