Ancient Customs.

There were no tailors' and dressmakers'
shops in our forefathers' time. All the
material for clothing was of home manu-
facture. The farmers raised the wool
and fax, and their wives iand daughters
spun and wove it into cloth. A tailoress
went from house to house with her goose
and big shears, and cut and made the
garments for the men and boys. Every
fall a shoemaker went from .house to
house with his bench and tools, to make
up a years supply of boots and shoes
for the family, from hides tanned on the
farm. One corner of the big kitchen
was given up to him for this work.

A little anecdote in which the wife
of General Crook played a part went
the rounds of the newspapers while she
was still in her school days. On his
way to Wheeling in private car, Presi-
dent Buchanan made the usual wait at
Oakland Station, where many persons
assembled to be presented to the chief
magistrate. When Mary's turn came,
the exalted bachelor put the question to
her that had served him throughout the
interview. "And what State are you
from, Missp' "From the same state as
your excellency," she quickly replied,
'the state of single blessedness."

Col. ED. RICHARDSON having more
money than he knows what to do with,
is asking the Legislature to charter a
railroad, which he will build and equip
himself, to be 16 miles long and run from
Carolina Landing on the Mississippi
river, by Lake Washington to John Wills
place on Deer Creek, where it will con-
meet with the L. n. o. & 7. R. r. Col.
Richardson thinks the road will pay,
and the building of it will show spirit
of enterprise on the part of Mr.. Richard
son that other capitalists might emulate.

A schoolmistress in a neighboring dis
trict, who had long been annoyed by
the perversities of male pupil of 10,
on one of the closing days of last term,
kept him in, and undertook to whale
him. He, however, disarmed her and
returned several kisses for each blow.
The schOolmistress, unable to forgive
this breach of discipline, looking him
sternly in the face, and shaking her
forefnger at him in amenacing manner,
said solemnly: "William, l will give
YOU precisely Is minutes to stop hug
cling me; and if you disobey me, shall
punish you very seveely."

Lord Coleridge, speaking recently in
America, said that every educated
speaker of English uses at least three
different languages. When he talks he
uses colloquial English; when he writes
he uses literary English, which form of
English which form its relation to mod
ern culture, may almost be called scared
English. So within the one language,
there are at least three languarges blend
ing with and overlapping each other,
yet each independent of the other, hav-
ing its own forms, its vocabulary, and
its own rules of use.
