How Timothy Grass Was Named.

Timothy or herd grass is the most COM
mon grass of continental Europe, grow
ing wild throughout all that vast region
between the MEDITERRANEAN sea on the
south and the North sea in the direction
the name implies, 1t is not known ex-
actly when it was first introduced into
the United States, but this much is
known, it takes its name from Timothy
Hanson, farmer of Maryland, who
brought it into general notice as a hav
grass, after he had cultivated it extern
sively for his own use for years. The
botanical name for the grass is phleum
pratense. 1t is curious fact that, al
though its native home is Europe. the
United States is the first country in
which it was grown, cut and cured for
hay. Not longer ago than 1885 some
timothy heads and seeds were taken to
England and exhibited as curiosities.-

Roman Rutcs,era shnn

Although photography was unknown
to the Greeks and Romans, we neverthe-
less get strikingly distinct views of the
life that was led in their early times
Que of these glimpses is given in the
following:
The Museum of Antiquities at Ores
den has come into possession of an in
teresting marble relief from Rome,
which represents an ancient butchers
shop, of oblong shape. and divided by a
pillar into two unequal parts.
In the greater stands the butcher, with
high chopping block, resting on three
substantial legs, before him, while be-
hind him hangs the steelyard and a
cleaver, he himself being occupied in
dividing a rib of meat with another
cleaver.
On the wall above him, just as with
US, is row of hooks near to each other,
on which hang pieces of meat already
dressed; rib and leg of meat, porl;
joint and udders-a tidbit of the Romans;
also lungs and liver, and, last of all. the
favorite boar head.
On the left, in the smaller division OF
the shop, the wife of the butcher sits in
an easy chair, with an account book on
her knees, engaged in assisting the bust.

Tho GameIle.

There is kind of tin mug called the
gamelle, in which the French soldier re
ceives his rations, and which he carries
on his knapsack. The form is little
peculiar, so as to distinguish it from
other ordinary tin mugs. A simple i'm
plement which, carried on the backs OF
French soldiers, has marched so often to
victory, and of late to defeat, has at last
received its reward in its glorifcation.
When the young Duke Of Orleans came
before the court, and exclaimed: Il ask
for nothing but gamelle," meaning
nothing but the treatment Of a common
soldier, the public readily seized upon
the emblem.
Scarcely three days had elapsed before "a
great jeweler of the Rue de la Paix had
hundreds of "tin mugs in silver, gold
and jewels as pins and badges. which
sold Immediately as the ''tin mug of Or
leans" and were worn all over Paris. A
popular florist designed vase in the
shape of the Tin mug" and presented
the first specimen to the prince, who
sentit to his bride, Margaret de Charities,
filed with roses and lilies of the valley.
In the meanwhile all Paris is sporting
the soldiers tin mug in the tri-color, and
the young duke has left fashionable or
nament to remember him by.-New

The First Clock Turned Back.

Standard time, it seems, is not new
thing. In the twentieth chapter of II
Kings it was applied with far more than
modern facility and variety. Hezekiah,
who was contemporary of Homer, was
sick unto death, and was advised by the
Prophet Isaiah to put his house in order.
On being thus admonished Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and wept,
then prayed for recovery.
Soon afterward he was assured by the
prophet that the prayer had been heard,
and that fifteen years would be added to
his life. Hezekiah asked for sign that
he would thus happily be healed. Isaiah
answered that the shadow on the sun
dial should be moved forward or back
ward ten degrees as the desired sign.
And the sacred history continues thus:
80. And Hezekiah answered: 1T is a
light thing for the shadow to go down
ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow re-
turn backward ten degrees
I'll. And Isaiah the prophet cried
unto the Lord; and he brought the
shadow ten degrees back ward, by which
it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."-

4 GINNING Log.

A good dog story is always appreciated,
because canine sagacity seems inexhaust-
ible in its resources. A Glasgow gentle
man owned very intelligent Newfound-
land dog, who accompanied his master
wherever he went, and was his INSOFAR
able companion in his visits and to
church. One evening the gentleman
went to visit a neighbor. The dog at
tended him. 1t was quite late when the
gentleman started for home and, TO his
surprise. the dog could not be found.
After the family had retired there was a
great noise in the kitchen 1t was supposed
that burglars were robbing the house
Soon there was crash and smash Ike
the breaking of Il window, and then all
was still. The morning revealed the
mystery. The dog had fallen asleep
under the table. He had realized that
his master had gone home, and the noise
heard was the attempt of the dog to
make his escape. As there was no other
way TO get out the sagacious animal
went through the window, taking the
glass and frame with him.
1t was long time before his master
visited that house again When he did,
his dog accompanied him. and the ami
NAL found his way through the open
| door of the kitchen to his old hiding
place under the table. When the mas
| ter was about to start for home neither
his hat nor cane could be found After
a long search the dog was discovered fast
asleep under the table; one paw was on
his masters hat. the other resting on his
stick. How the dog obtained possession
of those articles no one could tell He
remembered his last visit to the place,
and how scurvily he had been treated.
The sagacious creature resolved not to
be left behind next time. He knew that
his master could not go home without
the hat and stick, and that he would be
awakened when the owner got ready to
start His plans were acutely laid, and
if he had been human he could not have
done better. Boston Budget

A Columbus Novel.

We are about to celebrate the -four
hundredth anniversary Of the discovery
of the continent by Columbus. Many
readers, not aware of the fact, will be
glad to know that one of Fenimore
Cooper's novels-"Mercedes of CASTLE
is Columbus story. The hero Of that
romance accompanies Columbus on his
venturous enterprise, and a large part of
the narrative consists of an account Of
the voyage, of the discoveries, and all
that occurred. AT this juncture readers
will find it timely and entertaining. The
real experiences of Columbus are inter
woven with some romantic adventures
of the hero, and there is introduced in
the story an Indian GIL, Oze1na, who is
probably the most fascinating of all the
savage beauties that figure in fiction

Buildings in Berlin.

Speaking of symmetry in the building
Of cities, the people of Berlin, Germany
are quite logical and successful in their
methods. In that city uniformity in
building is preserved by a municipal law
that dictates the height of edifces ac-
cording to the width of the street For
instance, on a street sixty feet wide the
law provides, think, that houses over
four stories in height shall not be erected
thereon. On streets eighty feet wide the
height is six stories, and on other streets
in proportion, thus giving tall houses to
wide streets and less altitudinous build
ings to narrow streets. / may not have
mentioned the exact dimensions of
streets and houses, but that is the gen
eral plan of the system. BY this means
great and. think, attractive uniformity
is secured.
Again in Berlin the people cannot build
residences or business houses anywhere
they please. The city has been built up
solidly and compactly simply because the
law compelled buildings to be erected
adjoining each other either on the south,
north, east or west extensions. A can
not build a tall minaret on some isolated
lot away from B, but he must, in order
to build at all, secure the land adjoining
the last house built, in either direction
and when G comes to build he must fol
low suit. These two provisions of the
Berlin municipality law tend to make il
the most uniform city in the world.-H

A Lunar Rainbow.

The crowds of politicians were treated
to heavenly display at about l o'clock
one morning that is rarely witnessed. 1t
was a lunar rainbow, as perfect and as
brilliant as the most perfect and
brilliant rainbow that ever adorned an
eastern sky when the sun bursts forth
after a summer evening shower. The
bow first formed a half circle over the
moon and underwent a gradual change
until a perfect cross and crescent were
formed. The play of color was beauti-
fully grand, and the whole western sky
was SO brilliantly illuminated that the
electric street lights paled. Lunar rain
bows are supposed to be the heavenly
forerunners of war, and when they take
the form of cross and crescent the war
which will follow will be of a religious
nature.-Milwaukee News.

For Lazy Card PLAYERS.

An automatic card shuffier is the work
OF an English inventor, Mr.. Booth. 1t
works thus: A sharp turn to the right of
either of the two handles places the ma
chine in working order. The cards are
then dropped into the slot. The machine
works by itself, and the cards gradually
disappear. When the whole have passed
into the machine the handle is turned
again in the same direction and the cards
will be brought back to the surface of
the table
Another pack should then be placed
IN the slot. and the shutting process re-
peats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. /. When the
hand has been played out turn of the
handle brings up pack No. ready shut
fled, and the used pack No. is then
placed in the slot in place of pack No. 2.
This process may be repeated indefinitely.
BY this arrangement every card changes
Its position, passing through the machine
IN twenty seconds.-Chicago Herald.

A rabbi of Montreal says that the low
death rate among Jews is owing to their
adherence to the Mosaic law, which per-
mits for use as food only tire flesh of such
animals as divide the hoof and chew the
cud. In the killing of these animals the
strictest examination had to be made to
prevent the communication of disease to
man. AS to fish, the Jews only eat those
with both fins and scales, and oysters, in
his opinion, are simply the "scavengers
of the sea-" HOLSTERS, crabs and other
crustacea arelikewise tabooed. Chicago

a Wax Figure of an Emperor Reheaded


There are men employed at the Eden
Musee whose business it is to comb the
hair Of the wax figures, keep their faces
and necks clean, and brush their clothes.
This is supposed to be done out of bust
ness hours, but occasionally some of the
helpers get caught. One of these things
which some people call funny coin
cident happened the very day that Bis
marck resigned. The young man who
had charge of the crowned head wax
department, without any knowledge of
what was going on in Germany, went
among the crowned wax heads with
brush and comb.
The heads of these figures are fastened
on in such way that they can be easily
removed. 1t was therefore a funny 60.

Advantage of Building Associations.

1t may be stated that the associations
are conducted much more economically
than the banks; that they consequently
pay larger dividends; that they can be
successfully carried on in places too
small to support a bank, and that by adj
vancing money to members to purchase
homes they provide an immediate in
vestment and give the borrower the
strongest possible inducement to continue
his saving.-W. A. Linn in Scribners.
