Life.
There's a great deal Of bliss in q lingering
kiss,
And oceans OF solid rapture;
There are lots OF fun in a stolen one
II O are clever about the capture.
The cutest trick in a kiss that's quick
Is to put it where it belongs;
To see that it goes below the nose
And knocks at the gate OF songs.
A kiss that is cold may do for the old,
Or pass with q near relation;
But one like that is a work-that's flat
OF s~upererogation.
II you're going to kiss be sure OF this
That the girl has got some heart in her;
wouldn't give a darnior the full ofa barn
OF kisses without a partner.
The point OF this rhyme is to take your
time;
Kiss slowly, and do it neatly,
II you do the thing right and are hallway
bright,
You can win her sweet heart completely.

A BARONIAL HOUSEHOLD
The System of Housekeeping Prevailin;
in the Sixteenth Century.

The System of Housekeeping Prevailing
in the Sixteenth Century.
We have an account, written in 1911,
of the household of Henry Percy, Earl
of Northumberland, in his Yorkshire
castles of Wressel and Leckenfield The
number of attendants who lived perma-
nently in the house was 166, besides
those who were employed outside.
Amongst them were officials of every
sort, including eleven chaplains, and
complete choir to sing the service daily.
The daily occupations of each were
infinitely regulated, and the system of
accounts was carefully prescribed The
various articles of provision for this vast
household were estimated for the year
to amount to 2,116 quarters of wheat,
124 bullocks, 677 sheep, ten tons of
Gascon wine, and so on in proportion.
The meat was generally eaten sailed,
and needed 100 gallons of mustard to
make it palatable. Of course the
number of the household does not in
clude guests. Every day something
like three hundred must have been fed
at the castle. At six o'clock all attended
service in the chapel, after which they
breakfasted off beef and ale At ten
o'clock came dinner, at four supper and
at nine o'clock all retired to rest. The
household of great noble gave train
ing in business habits, in which our
forefathers were as proficient as men of
the present day. In fact, their ordi-
nary occupations were SO few that they
gave great attention to the regulation
of the minor matters of daily life.
The Earl of Northumberland, how
ever, was one amongst few in the
greatness of his establishment and in
his magnifcence. Even he had few
comforts, as we should reckon; and
when he moved from one of his castles
to another, all his furniture was carried
with him. The rough walls were hung
with tapestry, which was suspended
from hooks. Food, though plentiful,
was coarse, and furniture was plain.
There was little privacy in the grim
fortresses which the great inhabited.
Two or three rooms were set apart for
the use of the family and their guests;
the rest were small chambers for hold
ing stores and providing sleeping room
for the host of attendants.-L

In the southwestern section of
Nevada is remarkable cave in the side
of the mountains. In the soft rock
composing the dome are to be seen
sticking the broken-off shafts of arrows.
1t is said that many years ago party
of Shoshones were driven into this cave
by their hereditary enemies the Piutes.
Their defense was so stubborn that the
Flutes proposed peace, and in this
cave the council was called, and the
peace made was to last so long as a
single arrow remained imbedded in the
rock overhead. Chicago Times.

MINUTE MECHANISM.
A Cherry Stone Decorated With One Hun
bred and Twenty-four Heads.

A Cherry Stone Decorated With One Hun
bred and Twenty-four Heads.
There is cherry stone in the Salem,
Mass Museum, which contains one
dozen silver spoons. The stone itself is
of the ordinary size; but the spoons are
so small that their shape and finish can
only well be distinguished by the micro
scope. DR.. Oliver gives an account of
a cherry stone on which were carved
one hundred and twenty-four heads, so
distinctly that the naked eye could dis
tinguish those belonging to popes and
kings by their mitres and crowns. It
was bought in Prussia for fifteen thou
sand dollars, and thence conveyed to
England, where it was considered an
object of SO much value that its posses
sion was disputed and it became the
subject of a suit in chancery. One of the
Nuremberg toy-makers enclosed in q
cherry stone, which was exhibited at the
French Crystal Palace, plan of Sevas-
topol, railway station and the "Mes-
siah'' of Klopfstock. In more remote
times an account is given of an ivory
chariot constructed bt Mermecides,
which was so small that fly could
cover it with his wing; also a ship of the
same material, which could be hidden
under the wing of bee. Psny, too,
tells us that Homer's Had, with its fiji
teen thousand verses, was written in so
small space as to be contained in a nut
she'll; while Elan mentions an artist
who wrote distich in letters of gold,
which he inclOsed in the rind of kerr
mel of corn Christian at Work.

HONEST ADVICE.
As Ambitious Youth of Eighteen Asks
for, and Receives it.

for, and Receives it.
Your inquiry, dear Cyrus Hatfield, is
received. You ask us (which profess
sion a young, healthy, ambitious boy of
eighteen, and no capital, should enter
law or medicinep" Frankly, we say,
neither. The noble profession of law
does not banker for you, Cyrus dear.
The annals of jurisprudence will be
printed as usual in monthly parts at 81
per ANIMAL in sheepskin binding, even
though your name never appears on
their pages. People will keep on get
ting into lawsuits over 81 balances in
horse trades and getting stuck for
$16.85 costs just the same as though
you had plunged madly into the dizzy
vortex of legal procedure and the boom
offorensic eloquence will reverberatej just
as generously over the wrongs of the
man who sues to recover the value of
two Berkshire hogs that were killed by
his neighbours cross-eyed mule-iust as
generously as if you had hurled your
tuneful voice squarely into the midst, as
it were, of the oratorical arena Shun
the law. Cyrus; States and jury fees
can be saved without you; and, if
possible, evade the profession of
medicine also. 1t is an exacting
calling, friend Cyrus, and full of
thankless toll. In your present healthy
condition you may be able to knock a
ball clean over the centre-felder, but
that does not necessarily imply that you
could not distinguish case of yellow
jaundice from a soft corn on the second
toe of a man S left foot, or restrain your
self from administering a dose of nux
vomica to yank dislocated shoulder
into position again. Medicine. dear
boy, is a science of its own, and man
who could toss a fifty-pound dumb-bell
clear over a thirty-foot wall might fail
utterly to distinguish a case of wind
collie from a compound fracture of the
right femoral bone, or still drunk from
an attack of sun-stroke. Let medicine
alone, Cyrus, and try the wild, free
West. There is q certain cheerful
frankness in your letter which convinces
us that whacking steers on the bound
less prairies would be just the profession
for you. 1t is an exact science, you
know, while law and medicine are not,
and, besides this, it is hedged about by
none of the petty conventionalities and
social restraints which at times so vex
an aspiring soul like yours Go to the
expansive prairie, Cyrus, and Craze up
with the country. If you go there now
as cowboy, you will soon grow up to
be cattleman.-Philadelphia Press.
