received an invitation to a swell ball.

went to a friend.
What does r. s. v. p stand for?'
he asked.

penned his regrets. They read:

She couldn't make read or tail out OF

THE CASE OF soPHY JOHNSTON.
She Was n Masculine Woman, but She
Would Wear n Wig.

She Was n Masculine Woman, but She
Would Wear n Wig.
Well, now, was it not only last week
that a correspondent set me thinking or
what no woman, however strong minded,
would be even likely to do, and that men
constantly do; and l decided that the one
thing is-display a bald head? l have
since writing read an amusing ~illustra-
tionof the truth of my judgment. About
$50 years ago the laird of Hylton, in
Fifeshire, was expecting his son and heir,
and accordingly was rejecting seriously
on the education of youth. He at length
told his wife that in his opinion it was a
mistake to try to train children at all. 1t
would be much better to let nature take
her own way; and he had decided that
his heir should not be taught anything,
not even be til warted in any taste or cor
rected in any habit.
Need | add that when the expected
heir was born it turned out to be a
daughter? Never mind! Hylton kept to
his theory, and Sophy Johnston accord
ingly grew up as unframed as a wild
flower in the woods. Nature seemed to
enter into the joke heartily; for Soph had
a mans voice, with which she loved to
sing a mans bass song. Her favorite
amusement was blacksmithing; she could
shoe a horse better than any man in the
shire, and her private apartment con
tanned a forge, at which Soph spent much
of her time. Another pet occupation
was trunk making. She was a Nimrod
in the field, and a Jehu on the box.
Soph Johnston, when a vieille file of As

guest in the castle of her fathers friend,
the fifth Earl of Balcarres, where her
forge was fitted up for her, and she was
allowed TO do just as she liked. She had
rich relatives in Gibraltar, none nearer;
and she frequently said that she expected
them to invite her to go to them, but
added that nothing should make her
leave her Balcarres friends. The two
mischievous eldest girls of the house,
Lady Anne (afterward the author of
"Auld Robin Gray') and Lady Margaret,
thought it was a pity that Soph should
not have an opportunity Of proving her
devotion to them in this way. So, as
the expected invitation never came, they
wickedly forged a letter in the name of
the rich relations, begging Soph to go to
Gibraltar.
They intended, when she had written
her refusal, to stop its being sent by re-
~yealing to her their little plot. But to
their horror poor old gentlemanly Soph
quietly posted a letter to her relatives
accepting the invitation, and the unhap.
ply girls knew not what she had done
till she confided to the family that she
had already begun to make her travelling
box and had ordered herself a new wig
an article which she had peer suspect
ed of but had never before confessed to
wearing. So even poor Soph Johnston,
with her mans boots, mans voice. mans
songs, mans diversions and with a
smithy and a carpenters bench, was not
equal to displaying a bald head.-London

More than 1900 years ago the Gauls
were combining the ashes of the beech
tree with goats fat and making soap.
When Marius Claudius Marcellus was
Fastening southwark over the Flaminian
way, laden with spoils wrested from the
hands of Viridomar, the Gallo king lying
dead by the banks of the Pc, his follow
ers were bringing with them a knowl-
edge of the method of making soap.
The awful rain of burning ashes which
fell upon Pompeii in 70 buried with
palaces and statues) the humble shop of
a soapmaker, and in several other cities
of Italy the business had even then a
footing. In the Eighth century there
were many soap manufactures in Italy
and Spain, and fifty years later the
Phenicians carried the business into
France, and established the first factories
in Marseilles. Prior to the invention of
soap. fullers' earth was largely used for
cleansing purposes, and the juice of GER
tain plants served a similar purpose. The
earth was spread upon cloth, stamped in
with the feet, and subsequently, removed
by securing. 1t was also used in baths,
and as late even as the Eighteenth cen
fury was employed by the Romans in

one date and half the other. There
should be 10 question about it. This
century ends with the last of
the year 1900, and the next begins with
Jan. l, 1901.
The muddle grow out Of the fixed
idea which some people have that the
reckoning of time begins with a cipher,
and that one is counted when the hour,
day, month or year has closed; whereas
all the counting of time begins with one,
and at the end Of the first period two
begins to oun Thus, when a child is
born, he enters on his first day of the
first month of the first year of his life.
His ten years are finished, not when he
enters in his tenth year, but at its clio se;
and his hundred years are completed,
not when the hundredth year is begun,
but ended. When we write 1900 we
have begun the last year of the century,
not ended it. The centuries do not
begin with o, 100, 200, but with 1, 101,
POI, and thus the Twentieth century
begins with 1901 at the first mi of
that year. The quoted date comes with
the beginning, not the close of the twelve
months; and therefore, while we quote
the year 1900 as we do every other year
at its beginning, we must wait till it
ends to close the century.-Journal of
Commerce.

Wealth was unknown to the Ericsson
family, and Swedish country living al
that time was plainness itself; but love
abounded, and the mothers cheerful
temper, with the fathers good humor
and generous disposition, assured the
blessings of a harmonious and happy
home. Caroline was a child of unusual
beauty, Nils was spirited and engaging,
and the baby, John, a wonder to all. AS
a child John was busy the day long,
drawing, boring and cutting. Providing
himself with pencil and paper, he would,

and sit there until dark, watching with
deep, earnest eyes the motions of the
heavy engines, copying their forms and
studying into the secret Of their motion.

In height and stout in proportion.
A year or two after he had become
minister of Lochearean, he announced
one Sunday his intention of holding "a

solute man, a desperate character of
great physical strength.
The minister's friends demonstrated
with him, but he went to the mans
house, and was ordered to go away.

minister; "but you may turn me out IL
you can"
They were both powerful men, and
neither of them hesitated to put upon
the other his ponderous strength. After
a short but fierce struggle, the minister
became the victor, and the landlord,
Frustrated upon his own floor, was with
a rope coiled round his arms and feet

The following story is told Of a Ger
man railroad brakeman who lives in
this city: The train on which he was
braking CHANGED to be out after dark,
and, as Jake had neglected to fill with
oil the lamps in the rear end of the hind
coach, he concluded that if the train
should happen to be out late the supply
of oil might be exhausted. So Jake
modestly takes the lamps down, blows
them out, and places them inside the
coach. During the night the passenger
train was side tracked to allow a fast
mail to pass, and in turning the switch
a fellow brakeman noticed that there
were no lights in the rear end of the
coach. Going to Jake, he said, "Where
arc your rear lights?' 'Oh, I vas put
