Graveyard &eography.

There have been numerous reasons
given to account for the fact that the
north sides of churchyards are so often
devoid of graves. In the west of Eng
lind there is an idea that the north siee
was not c~onsecrated, but was left for q
playground for the children. Then, some
again say it is from the tradition that
Jesus, when dying, turned His head to
the south. Another reason given is that
the south is the sunny side, and the side
where the church door commonly is
placed, and where, consequently, most
people pass. The commonest reason ap-
pears to be that formerly murderers, ex-
communicated persons, stillborn children,
etc., were won't K be buried on the north
side, and some rustics say that ghosts
always choose the north side for their
peregrinations. There is, however, an
ecclesiastic reason. Tho east is Gods
side, where His throne is set; the west
mans side, the Galilee Of the Gentiles;
the south, where the sun shines in its
strength, is tho side of ange 8 and spirits;
the north, the devoted region Of Satan
and his hosts, the lair of demons and
their haunts. - ChiMgo Tribune. y

w Throne OF Lilies.

This name is applied to the throne of
France because of the old French Ma
tional emblem-the A~eur-de-lis, a species
OF lily. Thc story Of its adoption is as
follows: When Clovis, King of the
Franks, married the Princess Clotilda, OF
Burgundy, in 49S A. D., she was a
Christian, but the King, like the most
OF the Frankish nation, was q heather.
The young queen earnestly desired the
conversion of her husband, but her
arguments had little effect on him.
However, in 400, the king, when en-
gagged in battle with the Allemanni
Germany, at Tolbiac, neal Cologne, was
hard-pressed and in his necessity called
upon the God of the Christians, vowing
that should he obtain the victory he
would himself become u Christian. The
Allemanni were routed, and on Christ
mas day of the same year Clovis and
several thousand of his soldiers were
baptized. Thus far we have veritable
history, but we must regard as legendary
the conclusion of the tale, that on tho
eve of his baptism an angel from heaven
presented King Clovis with a blue ban
ner embroidered with golden f1eurs-der
lis, which he was to adopt as the banner
of France. Probably sweet Clotilda her
self embroidered the lilies and person
ated-as she well might the angel.
However this may have been, from the
time of Clovis to the French Revolution
the Kings of France bore as their arms
an indefinite number, and latterly three
golden lilies on an azure field.-Lnter-

T~ree-climbing Cray.Ffsh.

10 show how a flood or over-supplY of
water will ut certain times alarm these
little creatures, q gentleman residing in
Freeport, ILL.,, informed me that not
many months ago they had some very
heavy rains, that greatly increased the
volume of the little river running
through the town. The water gradually
rose until numbers of quite large trees
were submerged, and the stream was al
most twice its ordinary width. Such an
unusual occurrence naturally attracted
considerable attention, and my inform
ant and a number of others visited the
trees several times, and when the river
was at the highest they presented a
strange appearance from a little dis.
lance. Their trunks seemed to have
changed color from the water up to the
branches, and on closer inspection it
was found that they were complete
~ incascd with cray-ish, which covered
every available space, crowding upward
by hundreds, clin cling to the bark and
to each other, in some spots packed one
upon another four and five deep; every
moment added to the throng, new ones
emerging from the water, while those
above, urged on, crept out upon tho
branches, and completely covered them,
presenting a novel and interesting sight.
The animals in many cases retained their
positions for several days, and did not
seem to be affected by their stay out of
water. The occasion, however, was
taken advantage of by the people, who
came with buckets and brooms and
swept them from the trees by hundreds,
storing them up for future use. The
cray-fsh in certain portions OF the west
ern country is a pest to the agriculturist,
and the work of these little creatures Of
ten greatly increases the labor and ex-
pense of'breaking up land, especially af-
ter the burrows or mounds have stood for
many years, the vegetation that has
grown upon them often increasing their
size to mammoth proportions.-Popula

Our Shin ut Sea.

- "
Dear heart, we two lave waited
For many a weary year
The ship we launched at sea,
Freighted with hope for you and me,
And carrying neve a fear.
We watched them sail away,
AS We stood on the shore,
And sweetly we did dream,
With true owe for our theme,
When their voyage should be DER.
We said, "When they return to us,
Ger the oceans briny foam,
Wen build a kingdom heavenly fair,
With love and faith dwelling there
Wen call our kingdom home"
Love was wrecked on an angry shore,
On the rocks of worldly gain,
And obi the saddest sight to me,
Faith was lost In a dismal sea
OF SANDER, doubt and pain.
Yet DER the dark and angry waves,
Hangs the bow Of promise fair;
1t tells Of that br ght and better land,
With love and faith, an unbroken band,
Up there, dear heart, up there.

The Stature OF Great Men.

This is a subject with respect to
whlch a young man in New York asks
us to give him information: 'In a dis
cussion the other night 1 claimed that
the majority of the worlds great men
were of large stature. Am I right9'

health, though with a strong vitality
and much nervous force. Mr.. Glad
stone is q tall man, and so also is Bis
marck, but Disraeli was of middle
height only, and Napoleon Bonaparto
was short, while Wellington was not
tall. Jefferson was tall, thin and aneu-
lar; but Alexander Hamilton was slight
and considerably under middle stature.
Franklin was short and fat, and Peter
Cooper was only about s feet 6. Com
modore Vanderbilt was tall and COM
handing, but Jay Gould is short and
unimpressive in his physical appearance.
Grant was short, and so also was
Mcclellan. Farragut was a rather small
man, but Robert E.. Lee was of a COM
handing stature, Us was also Charlie
magne, but Hannibal was very small, and
Julius Cesar was not above medium
height.
These, we suppose, are men whom
you would call great, but, you sec, some
OF them were short, and only a few were
remarkable for their stature. 1t might.
perhaps, be said generally that such men
are more apt to be under han above tho

tharacter In Handwriting,

There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their handwriting.
AS the writing of every nation is dis
tinguished by strong national peculiari-
ties, it is easy for an expert tn decide to
what nation a writer belongs. Having
settled that, certain large characteristics
which are common to all men, but in
different degrees, can be seen in every
handwriting. A certain number of men
are calm, even-lived, sensible and prac-
teal. Men of that class are almost GER
tain to write plain, round hands in which
every letter is distinctly llegible; neither
very much slanted forward, nor tilted
backward; no letter very much, bigger
than its neighbor, nor with heads much
above or tails much below the letters not
so distinguished; the letters all having
about the same general uprightness, and
the lines true to the edges of the paper,
neither tending upward nor downward.
Exact business-like people will have an
exact hand writing. Fantastic minds
revel in quirks and streamers, par
ticularly for the capital letters, and this
quality is not infrequent in certain bust.

A Knitting Industry.


q Miss Augusta Jane Goold, Kingston,
writes to The Irish Textile Journal with
respect to the knitting industry which
she has established on her late fathers
estates in the County Limerick. "It
has been, or the whole" she says, every
successful. I began the industry in the
summer of 1884, being desirious of pro-
viding some renunerative employment
for the cotter women, who had a good
deal of idle time On hand, and whose
ragged apparel %betokened habits of un-
tidiness as we'll as poverty. l was
anxious to give them regular occupation
in some kind of needlcwork, and after
inquiries in Limerick as to what was
likely to obtain sale, 1 set them to work
upon handknit socks. They were greatly
delighted at tho prospect of earning
something, and focksd in to get the
work. Their first efforts were decidedly
primitive, but after q little while they
began to improve; and although the first
consignments of socks sent to Messrs.
MacBirney, of Limerick, were not very
we'll shaped, yet they all sold off, and
the manager, who was much interested
in my attempt to establish a cottage in.
duty, gave further orders. I took
great\pains to teach the poor women to
knit carefully, i,npressing on them that
to obtain custom they must make their
work WORTHY purchase. By degrees they
became quitsN expert, and by dint Of
much instruction, and constant superin-
tcndence Of tEei., work for seven months.
