The Thistle for Scotland.

There is much obscurity as to the
circumstances under which the thistle
was adopted as its emblem 10y the
Scottish nation, but the following is n
tradition: Queen Scotia had led her
troops in well-fought field, and when
the day was won retired TO the rear to
rest from her tolls. She threw herself
upon the ground, when, as ill-luck
would have it, an envious thistle had
elected TO grow at the very spot select
ed for her repose. Whether the fair
Amazon fought in the national costume
i know not, but the spines of the
offending herb were sufficiently power
full to penetrate the skin in a very
painful manner. A proverbial philoso-
pher mot Mr.. Upper, l Think has
declared that "He that stitch on net
ties riseth mp quickly" and the same
remark holds COOL of thistles. Queen
Scotia sprang up and tore the thistle
mp 10y the roots. She was about to cast it
from her with military but unladylike
expression, when it struck her that the
prickly plant would henceforth be ever
associated in her mind with the glori-
Gus victory which she had just gained.
Her intention was changed. She placed
the thistle in her casque, and it became
the badge of her dynassy.-NoteS and

The japanese call themselves the

certain extent right They are like
the Americans in their ready adoption
OF new things and in their being ready
TO risk the present for the future.
They are quick-witted, and they want
to be up to the times. They lack, how
ever, am prone to believe, the Amer
leans desire of accumulation, his indus
try aud pers averance, and above all,
his wonderful creative faculty. You

A Novel Swimming Dress.

A swimming dress, resembling
divers dress, and made of double India
rubber, has, according to foreign
contemporary, been adopted in the
German navy. On the chest is a valve
through which air is blown into the
interior of the dress, which covers the
whole body and leaves only the face
free. To prevent the swimmer from
being too much tossed about by the
seattle space round the chest is espec-
tally large The swimmer wears belt
which divides the dress into two parts,
to prevent a too great loss of air if the
dress were torn about the legs, and
consequent difficulty in swimming.
The swimmer wears shoes with
eaden soles to Sc cure his equilibrium,
and for his defense a dagger, which is
fastened to the girdle. The swimmers
are TO be employed for the blowing up
of mines and hostile craft, and are
provided with n box containing an ex-
plosive charge, which they have TO
fasten TO the mine CT craft, and ignite.
Before the explosion occurs they are
out of the n ach of danger. The swim
ming dress has been already tried in
Germany. During the attack on the
harbor of Kiel on Aug. 20 swimmers
were dispatched from the ironclads to
destroy the mines closing the port

IL Is tersely said that "all fools are
mad, though some are madden than
others, and perhaps among the maddest
of them it would be safe to reckon
those who, having but one life to live,
run through with il in vain lamentation
over troubles which they can't avoid, or,
what Is vainer, over those which they
can, and which sometimes are so far in
the future that they never come to
bother them. To stake time by the
forelock" is O very profitable grip to
hold on that slippery old fellow, but
trouble is not SO slippery, and we
should practice our haste and activity
rather in keeping out of her way as
long as possible-to build q wall of
mirth, as it were. between her and us,
over which her clumsy feet would never
venture to climb.
Gravity is grave thing. It may be
appropriate at certain times aud in GER
tain places, but as an everyday dish it
is tough and indigestible. A continual
diet of India rubber would, perhaps,
be as favorable to the growth and -four
ish of the body and mind. Therefore,
if we are wise as well as grave, we can
show our wisdom in no stronger way
than dropping our gravity and playing
the fool now and then" Even Socra-
ties himself knew the danger of too
much gravity, and frequently took oc-
casion TO sink some of it in the gay
tide of merriment.
"Mirth, says an old writer, "purgeth
the blood, confirms health, causeth
fresh, pleasing and fine color, pro-
rogues life, whets the wit, and maketh
the body young, lively, and fit for any
manner of employment. And if we
need further proof of its life-giving
properties we can find it in the Bible,
spread forth in unequivocal and unmis-
taxable words: "A merry heart is the
life of the flesh" saith the Proverbs;
and In Ecclesiastes we are told that
"Gladness prolongs mans days"
In the plodding, matter-of-fact days
of the present, it seems, we have too
little time TO think of much else than
business, serious business" and,
when we come to think of it, il is a
serious business to have our lives short
ened with cares and labors-cares and
labors that would be great deal more
palatable and far less death dealing ii
seasoned with little mirth and non
sense.
Let ms reform this altogether and
take profitably to heart Shakspeare's
advice:
Frame your mind for mirth and meriment
Which bars n thousand harms"

Old Fashioned Signs.

Among the oddities of tavern signs in
England those that contain the names
of the apostles are not uncommon.
There are several "Luke's" taverns-
the district or ward probably bearing
the sanity name. Once the writer
came across "Peters Finger" the sign
board bearing figure with pointed
finger. evidently representing the saint
in discoursing.
In the line of quaint instances, how

And never from lis precepts slide,

There was n tavern in London where
if one entered and deposited farthing

of ale would be served, but whether

In addition to being tribute of aifec-

General Upshaws title shines with q

the honor TO be on the staff of the Gov

porter was hunting some news about

General Upshaw is busy with his
mail, and can be seen only on impor-
tant business. Have you kyard,
sab ?"
"Oh, that's oil right" remarked the
reporter. as he walked into the room.
"Phil" Thompson and O number of
other politicians were there, and the
General" seemed to be busy listening
to their stories rather than in attending
to his mail.
Mr.. Upshaw here?" said the repor-
ter.
There was dead silence for few
moments. Then Phil" Thompson
pointed to pair of boots stretched
across tho desk. There seemed to be
an individual attached TO them. Slow
ly the boots came down from the desk,
n stream of tobacco was shot into a
spittoon and the owner of the boots
said with a severity that meant great
deal:
"Mr. Upshaw is no. in"
The reporter looked inquiringly at
phil" Thompson. Then the Presence
attached to the boots said with dignity ::
