If I married one of the beasts inadvertently I'd break him to decency or I'd kill him with indigestion, says a writer in “What to Eat.” What's the good of a husband, anyway? He has never been more or less than a Pet or Provider. ¥,y his own admission female competition has destroyed his usefulness as a provider. That ts all right; it simply makes him twice a pet. Now, having reduced him to his lowest terms, since !¢ was only a question of a pet, why not be satisfied with @ bird, a cat, a dog, a monkey, a parrot, a anything?

William Kemp, an English comic actor, who flourishes during the last years of Queen Elizabeth, and who belonged. to the same company as Shakespeare, and “created” Dog- berry, danced from London to Norwich, a distance of 114 miles. He was accompanied by a servant, an umpire and @ man with a tabor and pipe. Crowds hindered his start Feb. 11, 160, and many met him at every place. geveral tried to dance with him, but none could rival his pace; the most successful were women. Although delayed by a snow-. storm he did {t in nine days, and on the way accepted a chal-j lenge or two, each time coming off best, except when ny Chelmsford maiden of fourteen outdanced him. On hist return he wrote an account of tt, which ends with a warn- ing to those with whom he had made wagers that if they did not pay up he would publish thelr names. AS TO KING PETER. The Christian name of Peter has never boon fashionable among monarchs. England, for example, has never had @ monarch baptized as Peter, and in other countries the Peters have been unlucky. Peter, or Pedro I., Emperor of Brazil, abdicated after an uneasy reign, and tus son, Pedro IL, was driven to Hurope by @ revolution and died in Paris fn 1891. Pedro tha Cruel of Castile and Leon was sjain by his ‘brother in single combat. Peter the Great of Russia was gullty of frightful excesses; his grandson, Peter II., reigned only threé years and died of small-pox at the ago of fifteen. Peter III. was dethroned and strangled by conspirators.
