OPPOSITE FATES Oh TWO NEIGHB0RS

BY GEORGE D. WALLS, Printer.
One took paper. and his life
Was happier than IA kings
His children they could read and write
And talk Of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strollIng in the wood,
A tree fell down upon his crown,
And killed him--as il should.
Had he been reading OF the news,
At home like neighbor jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.

.7rnoh The Traitor. Every body
knows, we presume, that Benedict Ar.
mold was the object of scorn and con-
temp. in England after his treachery,
and that he was often grossly insulted
in tina, country. The following anec.
dole, however, may be new TO some Of
our readers:
Shortly after the peace of SO. Ar.
mold was presented at court. While
the king was conversing with him,
Lord Raicarras. stately old nobleman,
who had tough, under Gen. Burgoyne
in the campaigns of America, was pre-.
scented. The king introduced them
with. #.t,..
..I.nrd Balcarras General Arnold"
..Wha,. SIRE" said tie old earl,
drawing up his lofty form, "the ttailor
Arnold and refusing 10 give his
hand. The consequence. as may be
anticipated. was challenge from Ar.
mold. They met. and il was arranged
ina, the parties should fire together.
A, the signal Arnold fired. but Lord
Ralcarras throwing down his pistol.
,urned on bis heel and was walking
,way. when Arnold exclaimed.
..Why don't yoi'ire my Lord," Il
..Sir, "said Lord b.. looking over
his shoulder, Il leave you TO the exc.

Scraps of Curious Information.
/, is said that the most extraordinary
instances Of corpulency occur in
England. One OF The most remark able
instances was tina. Of Mr. Bright, a
tallow chandler of Maiden, IN Essex,
who died in the 29th year of his age,
Nov. IL, 1850. Seven persons Of The
common size were easily enclosed in
his waistcoal. 4 stocking which was
too small for him was large enough To
hold chilj four years old. He was
comelyin person and afable in manners;
he weighed AZ stone and IL pounds.
The celebrated Daniel Lambert. who
was much older. weighed ten stone
more than Mr. Bright, he died in
1909.
Currants were first introduced into
England in 500. They were brough.
from Zanle. The Barberry bush was
brought To this country for the purpose
of making hedges. It's tendency to
spread into the fields soon made it be
regarded as nuisance. We believe
it was first planted in BrOokine, from
whence j, has gradually advanced into
the interior.
Forks were in use in Europe in the
18th and l4th centuries, according to
Vol,aire. The fac, is questioned by 9TH
err writers. A writer of travels in the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth, saws, "At
Venice each person was served (besdps
his knife and spoon) with fork to hold
the meat, while he cuts it; for there
they deem il i'll manners that one should
touch it with his hand" Another
writer, A. D. 1908. after describing the
manner of using forks in Italy, adds.
Il myself have thought il good to
initiate The Italian fashion since | came
home to England
Almonds are said to have come into
England frs, from Barbary .abou, 1913:
Apples from Syria, about 1922; Apricots
from Eplrus. about $40; Cherries from
Ponlus, as early as A. d. 100; Coos
berries from Flanders, before 1910;
Grapes from Portugal, 1923; Mulberries
from I'aly. 1920; Peaches from Persia.
1862; Pums from Italy. 1922
Ounces from Austria, 1873; Straw.
berries from Flanders $50; Ras pberries
from Virginia, before 1896.
The origin of Rice traced 10 Ethiopia;
tina, of Buck wheat to Asia; OF Asparagus
To Asia; Of Ilorseradish TO China; Of
Potatoes to Brazil; of Cabbage to
Holland, Of Parsley to Egypt; Of Beans
to Greece; of Peas to Spain.
Historians relate that the Emperor
Maxinus was feet and 6 inches III
height. In the reign of Claudius,
man was brought out OF Arabia. feet
0 inches tall. John Middleton, born
in lancashire, England. was 0 fee. 3
inches high. Patrick Couer, the
celebrated Irish Giant, born in l76l,
was 8 fee, I inches in height.
Needles were first manufactured in
England BY negro from SPAN, during
the reign Of Queen Mary the Bloody.
Al his death the art was lost, and not
recovered again ill 1866. in the reign
OF On Elizabeth, when Elias GrOwse,
German. according to the Chronicler
Stowe. taught the arr to the English.-
