King George I'LL and Queen Char
lotte witnessed the lord mayors show
In 176l from the balcony of Mr.. Bar
clay, opposite Bow Church, In Cheap
side. The hearty old man, an octogen-
arian, had entertained in the same
house the two earlier Georges. With
out abandoning quaker simplicity he
went a little beyond IL In order TO do
honor to the young queen, hanging his
balcony and room with brilliant
crimson damask. The king, on arriv-
ing, fluttered ali the female friends
and sent their fuckers In agitation by
kissing them all round. The queen
smiled with dignity, the king laughed,
and on their passing on TO another
room the kings young brothers fol-
lowed the example, the young quaker
esses nothing loath. Those were un-
ceremonious days, and kiss all round
was a pleasant solemnity, undergone
with alacrity even by a quakeress.
In the apartment TO which the king
and queen had retired the queen was
waited on by youthful granddaught-
er Of Mr.. Barclay, who kissed the royal
hand with much grace, but would not
kneel to do SO, resolute observance
of ancestral principle which made
the queen smile. Later in the day,
when Mr.. Barclays daughters served
the queen with tea they handed it to
the ladies in waiting, who presented 1t
kneeling to the queen, a form which
Rachel and Rebecca would never have
submitted to.--"Friends' annals.

Sometimes a Siamese husband Is
missed. He no longer washes or tuam-
cries the children; he no longer boils
and hands out the rice In little basins
TO his offspring. His wife is asked
where he is, and, like Barham's cook
in 1.-The Ingoldsby Legends" she looks
askew. She does not say anything,
but the neighbors that is to say, the
people in the next boat OF on the next
raft-whisper something about q dis
turbance a night or two ago, of a cry,
OF groan or two, of a splash in the
water, and fear that something has
happened TO the missing husband. He
comes back no more, and the widow
presently marries again, all going quite
merrily on the raft and in the house with
the new husband. From all Of which
you will gather that the Siamese wo-
man Is of the energetic, determined
sort.
She is not beo ltiful. she does not
charm that way. Short, sturdily built,
of dark reddish brown color. with her
black hair cut about an inch and a
half long and standing straight up all
over head like thick brush; chewing
all day long mixture of red Chinese
tobacco, areca nut, and betel leaf, so
that the brown juice runs down her
chin and on to her bosom; not clad in
more than one colored cloth wrapped
around her, and looking more like the
.'missing link" than anything else, she
certainly does not charm by her ap-
pearance. Atlantic Monthly.

Jasper himself one day last week, rs

being related by party Of striking

A friend had pointed . revolver at
him.
HE didn't know 1t was loaded!"
We often hear II stated that = man
Is not responsible for what he does not
know. The law presupposes knowl-
edge, and therefore convicts the man
who excuses his crime by ignorance!
"If had only known" has often
been an unfortunate mans apology
for some evil unknowingly wrought,
but In q matter Of general interest
as. for instance, that hudanum Is q
poison, that naphtha Is q deadly ex-
plosive, that blood heavily charged
with winters accumulations OF the
waste of the system, lit is ones duty
to know the fact and the consequences
thereof. Our good old grandmothers
knew, for instance, that the opening
Of spring was the most perilous period
OF the year.
Whyy
Because then the blood stream Is
sluggish and chilled by the cold
weather, and II not thinned good
deal and made TO flow quickly and
BEAUTIFULLY through the arteries and
veins, 1t Is impossible to have good
vigor the rest of the year. Hence,
without exception, what is now known
as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
was plentifulIy made and religiously
given to every member OF the family
regularly through March, April. May
and June. II Is a matter Of record
that this prudential, preventive and
restorative custom saved many flt of
sickness. prolonged life and happiness
to a vigorous old age, and did away
with heavy medical expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington,
KY, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla s'for nervous sick headache of
which had been sufferer for years.
1t has been great benefit 10 me-"
Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1l1i 5. 18th St,
Philadelphia, Penn, says ''it purified
my blood and removed the blotches
from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith,
Topton, Berks Co., Penn, says she
"was entirely cured of skin disease
of the worst kind" by Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla. Bad skin indicates a very
bad condition of the blood.
IL you would live and be well, go TO
your druggist to-day and get Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no
other,-there's nothing like it or as
good, and completely renovate your
impaired system with this simple, old
fashioned preparation of roots and
herbs.
Warner, who makes the famous
Safe Cure, puts 1t up, and that Is a
guarantee of excellence all over the
known world. Take IL yourself and
give IL to the other members of the
family, including the children. You
will be astonished at its health giving
and life-prolonging powers. We say
this editorially with perfect confidence,
because we have heard good things of
1t everywhere, and its name is guar
antee that IL is 1rst class in every par
ticular.

a lesson which will not be forgotten. The
engineer and fireman were in their GUS
tomary seats, and ! was on the right

the men. Something led me to inquire
how many ways OF escape were open in

shook hands, remarking that he never
liked TO see a friend in the cab. You may
call it a presertiment if you please, but
that talk saved my life. In the course Of
another hour we ran into a car that stuck
over the end Of a switch. jim slapped on
the air brake, threw over his lever and
went ont Of the window, and his fireman
jumped on the other side. The engine was
ditched aud the tender piled right into the

Queen Christmas Tact.

A well known poet Of Spain, deservedly
famous for his work, was at the same
time q man Of most advanced radical
opinions, and waged such bitter and open
war against the regency that he was at
last arrested, tried and cxiled. He was
but s~cantily endowed with the worlds
goods, and the wife and children he left
behind soon fell into absolute poverty.
The poet petitioned Queen Christina for
pardon in their behalf, and was at once
permitted by her TO return To Spain and
to his family. He obtained an audience
and went III person to tender his thanks
to the sovereign and offer the expressions
Of his gratitude and homage. He was
graciously treated, less rs the enemy that
was than the future friend.
Suddenly the queen said: "You are not
rich, senior; literary men OF merit seldom
are, and you have IA large family, have
you notY'
Il have six children, your majesty"
six continued the queen; "tLen there
are three for you and three for me"
From that day the poets three daugh-
ter's were cared for and educated at the
queens expense, who considers them as
her special and personal charge.-Chicago
Herald.
