HISTORICAL.

Among the rights asserted by the
Protestant clergy in the Middle Ages,
ana which caused much dispute, was
exemption from lay jurisdiction even
in cases Of felony.
During the French and Indian war
the American colonists spent SIC, 900, =
600, OF which England repaid only $5,-
100000. 1t is estimated that the
Americans lost 35, 900 men.
Cock fighting is said TO have origi-
mated with the Athenians. 1t existed
in the days OF Thomas a Beckett and
until the time OF the Commonwealth it
fourished. a pit at Whitehall having
been erected and patronized by roy
atty. 1t was prohibited in 1854.
In ancient history, "clieht" was a
Roman citizen whose relation to his
patron was in many respects similar to
that of serf TO his feudal lord. 1t
was the duty OF the patron to watch
over the interests OF his clients and
protect them, and TO defend them in
lawsuits.
Clisthenes an Athenian stateman, the
grand-uncle of Pericles, lived about
SEQ b. G.. He increased the number OF
the tribes of Attica from four to ten,
and made important changes in the
constitution, which he rendered more
democratic. He became very popular,
and was the foremost Athenian states
man OF his time.
Club life in London had its origin in
the day of Elizabeth, when the Mer-
maid Tavern in Fleet street, enlivened
by Shakespeare, Raleigh Ben Jonson,
Beaumont and Fletcher became the
name OF sort of club Jonson after
wards founded club at the Devil
Tavern, Fleet street
Coffee was not known to the Greeks
or Romans, but in Abyssinia and
Ethiopia it has been used from time inn
memorial. In 1890 it was carried by
the Dutch from Mocha to Java, where
it was soon extensively raised, and
young plants were afterwards sent to
the botanical garden at Amsterdam.

Origin OF the POTATO.

The potato is one of the most impor-
tant of cultivated plants. and in uni
versal cultivation in temperate parts OF
the globe. 1t Is a native OF mount,in
districts of tropical and subtropical
America, probably from Chilli to Mex
leo, but there is some question as TO
where y is really indigenous. Hum
bolt doubted if it had ever been found
truly wild, but subsequent travellers OF
high scientific reputation express them
selves thoroughly satisfied. Maize
and potatoes are the two greatest gifts
which America has given to the rest'of
the world.
The potato has been cultivated in
America and its tubers used for food
from times long anterior to the discov-
cry of America by Europeans. Itseems
to have been first brought to Europe
by the Spaniards from the neighbor-
hood OF Quito in the sixth century. No
more important event OF its kind has
ever taken place than the introduction
of potato culture into Great Britain
and other European countries. 1t was
long called "Batatas, or sweet potato,
which is the tuber or plant meant by
English writer's down to the middle OF
the seventeenth century. 1t appears
to have been brought to ireland from
Virginia, by Hawkins in 1906" land
to England by Sir Francis Drake in
1923. "-American Rural Home.

An educational scene occurred at the
Michigan Central depot in Detroit
few days since, between a father and
his'young son, but it was the father
who needed the lesson, and not the
son. The little fellow had come there
to meet his father, but had failed TO
bring some piece OF baggage which he
had been charged to bring. The
father was exceedingly angry, and
when the little fellow expostulated,
and said that he had given the order
to the servant, as requested, the
father in a loud, bullying tone, con-
tradicted him fatty and threatened
him with punishment when he should
return home. The little fellow in
tremulous tones, protested that he
had obeyed his father, and the latter
again sternly contradicted him, and
bade him be silent. At this juncture
the servant entered the waiting room,
and approaching the father, said that
the boy had faithfully delivered the
order, and that he (the servant) alone
was to blame for the delay. Did the
father then turn 10 his son and ask TO
to be excused for doubling his word
and speaking so harshly ? Not bit
of it. He looked angry, and as If he
wished that the boy had been in the
wrong, and those who witnessed the
scene were sorry for the future OF that
boy. To the command "Honor thy
father and thy mother" should be
added, parents, respect the rights of
thy children" and tender them the
same consideration and show them
the same courtesy you expect from
them in their relations TO you.

EOLIAN HARPS.
They Can Be Made by Almost Any
One,


Have any Of our young friends ever
seen an Eolian harp? 1t is a musical
instrument made by the Greeks many
centuries ago, and hung among the
trees or where the wind could blow up
on it. making a low, soft, musical
sound. To make one is very easily
done and inexpensive. for most OF the
material can be found about the house.
Wax n piece OF buttonhole twist about
two and half feet long; tie each string
strongly 10 a small peg and thrust the
pegs down the crevice between the two
sashes OF your southern or western
window, stretching the silk as tightly as
possible. 1t will surprise you, the
sweetness and variety OF the tones the
wind will bring from it.
Having done this, you may be moved
to go further and prepare a moro
elaborate Eolian harp. Take some
quarter-inch wood and max, box the
length OF your window frame, four or
five inches wide. Bore few small
holes in n circle near what will be the
upper side of the back of the box,
fasten two bridges like violin bridges,
one at each end. and stretch on them
several strings OF fine catgut, contriv-
ing series OF screw pins to aid in the
tight stretching necessary, and allow
OF their being tuned to one note. Then
raise your sash on the windy side of
the house, and the wind passing
through the hole and over the strings
will, in its rising and falling. make
very sweet music.

Great changes have been brought
about in the science of philology by
modern thought and influence. The
harsh and rugged words and phrases
which, in not very remote generations,
were employed by all classes, have
been toned down, the sharp edges
rounded and the picturesque and high
sounding substituted. Not many
years ago people incautiously dubbed
the man who betrayed confidence and
squandered funds entrusted to him as
a "thief." The term Jared upon the
tympanum OF the modern philologist
