Possibilities OF GENEOLOGY.-''It
was i'll Boston, with the Athenian in
stinct for new things, that twenty three
people gathered in the Hawthorne
Rooms last week to hear a lecturer
demonstrate Queen Victoria's Descent
from King David. 1t was task from
which the Genealogical Society of that
city, though not without good courage,
would have shrunk in dismay. But
the resolute geneologist may overcome
the most gigantic difficulties with the
aid of musical ear and an active i'm
agination. The lecturer, having dis
covered that the last syllable of Isaac
and the first syllable of Saxon are sim
liar in sound, drew the conclusion that
the SaXons are the defendants of Isaac.
and traced the descent of Queen Vie
toria from u certain princess who
landed in Ireland, direct to King David.
The argument was clinched beyond
contradiction by the statement that
Queen Victoria believes it herself"
This recalls the pathological feat of a
Princeton professor, who derives at;
ally from "Latium' as follows: You
cut off the 'um' and have 'Lati' left;
read this backward, add ", and there
you are. '-ChriStian Register.

The SEVEN BIBLES OF THE WORLD.
The seven Bibles of the world are
the Koran of the Mohanedans, the
Irl Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings of the Chinese, the three Vedas
of the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and
the Scriptures of the Christians. The
Koran is the most recent of these. dat
ing about the seventh century after
Christ. 1t is compound of quotations
from the Old and New Testament. the
Talmud and the gospel of st. Barna-
bas. The Eddas of the Scandinavians
were first published in the fourteenth
century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists
contain sublime moral and pure aspira-
tlons and their author lived and died
in the sixth century before Christ.
There is nothing of excellence in these
sacred books not found in the Bible.
The sacred writings of the Chinese are
the Five Kings, the word ''Kings,
meaning web of cloth. They contain
the best sayings of the best sages on
the duties of life. These sayings can
not be traced further back than 100
years before Christ The three Vedas
are the most ancient books of the Hin
docs; and they are believed to date 100
years before Christ. The Zendavesta
of the Parisians is the greatest of the
sacred books next to our Bible.-Lirer-

seems to have got his boys into trouble
very soon, for the American lad is de-
nounced as a sospechoso, or suspicious

baZo of San Diego, California; and,
| as Mexico and the United States are
at war; it looks as if the young
man were going to have a hard
time in proving his innocence and get
ting out of prison. 1t appears as if
the French lad, Lewey, would have to
exert some of his peculiar impudence
and fascination to rescue his friend
from an unpleasant position. The
Mexican, Sanchos, has woven a very
line web around the American, and it
seems as though some old scores were

The COUNTRY EDITOR are
some truthful observations of country
editor:-"One of the beauties of an
editors life is his deadheading it on
all occasions. No one who has never
tasted the sweets of that bliss can be-
gin to take in its glory and happiness.
He does 500 worth of advertising for
a railroad, gets a pass for a year,
rides $25 worth, and then is looked
upon as deadbeat, or a half-blown
deadbeat. He puffs a concert troupe
$40 worth, gets one dollar in ''compli-
mentaries,o and is then passed free. y
If the hall is crowded he is begrudged
the room he occupies, for if his com
plimentaries were paying tickets the
troupe would be that much in pocket.
He blows and puffs a church festival
free to any desired extent, and does
the poster printing at half rates, and
rarely gets ''thank YOU for it. 1t
goes as part of his duty as an editor.
He does more work gratuitously for the
town and community than all the rest
OF the population put together, and
gets cursed for it all, while in MANY in
stances where a man donates a few
dollars for the Fourth of July. base

THE BEAT BEATEN.

you've got some nice wood over
there in your yard" said a seedy look
ing tramp to an Austin avenue lady.
Yes" said the lady.
81 would like to carry it in for you, y
said he.
MY husband intends to carry it in, -
she said
'Well," said the tramp, :" will carry
it in and pile it up nice if you will give
me my breakfast
At this offer the lady consented, and
the tramp went to work
After he had carried in q couple of
arm-fulls the lady stepped to the door
and found him sitting on the pile with
his elbows on his knees and his face
buried in his hands
'What is the matter?' said she.
"Oh, lady, " said he looking up, Il am
SO weak, for have had nothing to eat
since day before yesterday" and he
again covered his face with his hands.
This seemed to rouse the lady's sym
pathy, and she went in and soon re
turned with an excellent breakfast.
After he had swept everything from
the board he said: Thanks my lady,
for this sunptuous repast. Now let
me give you this advice. Never let
your sympathy get away with your
discretion. I'm off. Ia, ta." and he
walked majestically out of the front
gate.
The tramp had gone but short dis
tance when he became deadly sick. He
seated himself on a curbstone, and a
few moments later, having two or three
violent spasmodic contractions of the
stomach, he lost all his ill-gotten break
fast. Indeed his stomach would have
followed suit had it not been thorough
ly dovetailed to his diaphragm He
believed that he was poisoned, and he
became very much alarmed. As soon
as he gained strength enough to get
on his feet he slowly retraced his
steps and found the lady standing in
the front door.
A'''i' ii0 oe'iu Ill I)lllouS tones,
my breakfast did not stay on my
stomach. [ believe I'm poisoned
THAT is not to be wondered at
said she. II suspected your little game
having been caught once before the

by dosing your coffee with tartar
emetic. Now let me give you a little
advice: Never let your rascality get
away with your breakfast. To beat
a dead beat beats everything. Ia tar
and she shut the door in his face. The
tramp started ,sorrowfully down the
street, wondering, no doubt, where
and how he could get breakfast that
would stay with him.
