STOCKINGS OR SCALES.

II I were asked of all things what I most
would like to be-,
I'd choose to be a mermaid and live below the
sea.
How nice, instead of walking, to swim round
like little whales,
And to wear, instead Of stockings, many shiny
pairs of scales,
Which don't need changing every time that
nurse says they are wet,
And then to have no shoes that always come
untied!-and yet
And yet, although it must be nice to swim
around in scales,
To attend q school of porpoises and play at tag
with whales,
To be on friendly speaking terms with jelly
fish and cells,
And never to be sent to bed or told I'm late for
meals,
Still, when I think of Christmas eve my reso-
luton fails,
For what would Santa think if I hung up q
pair Of scales?

Pronunciation of Latin.

Those who favor the present method Of
p~ronouncing Latin and Greek have recent
ly made the assertion that the p%ronuncia-
ton of Latin today is the same as that
which prevailed during the days of Queen
Elizabeth. Professor Skelt, Of Cambridge,
takes exception to this statement, and
AYERS that if this allegation be true it is
remarkable, since the modern English al"
as in mine" was not at that time in
vented. Professor Skeat also declares that
the scholars of Queen Elizabeth's time
would have been shocked to hear Latin
and Greek pronounced as they are at the
present day.

EEL HALL,

togo is the old Elizabethan mansion at
Bourne, in Lincolnshire, which must be re-
moved to make way for a railway. In Red
Hall, as it is called, the notable gunpow-
der plot of 1905 was arranged, that plot
which made Guy Fawkes immortal.
II is the very irony of history that this
poor servant and private soldier is the only
sonesof the conspirators generally remem-
bered, while Catesby, the organizer, and
Everard Digby, his chief assistant, are
comparatively forgotten. The old hall
asthen the home of Digby, and the Soci-
ETY. for the Protection of Ancient Buildings
has besonght the railway company to put
acurye in it's line to save the old structure.

Holland, but became a Swedish citizen and
so a settler of Delaware. There is a tradi-
ton at Port Penn that William Penn first
landed there. There are several other old
mansions thereabouts, but none so old as
the Dilworth house.
Another curious structure is the hull of
an old whaler which has been made fast at
the foot of Thirty-sixth street, Brooklyn,
for many years. On it a chapel has been
constructed, and it's bell three times every
week calls to worship the sailors from ad-
jacent vessels. In this Bethel" as it is
called, the Rev. Timothy Lane has preached
for twenty years. All that time he has
been saving money to buy a lot for a
church, and having accomplished it ut
last will soon sell the hull, and as it is in
good preservation it may pillow the seas
again.
The original bark was built by Captain
John Tam, who is remembered only by the
oldest whalemen. For many years he
commanded a 500 ton brig, but she was
struck by a whale and sunk. He, then
built this bark of live oak and hackma-
tack at Belfast, Me. He and his crew
made fortunes in their new vessel and re-
tired, after which the Dark was changed
into a propeller and ran some years in the
India trade. Then the vessel was changed
to "Bethel," and lay for seventeen years
at Pier II, on the Hudson, and in 1886 was
moved to her present place.
The Old World of course abounds in his
toric edifices. When one considers the
frightful wars, it is really q wonder that
there are so many, and every now and

another one has been destroyed. The last

A Tiny CObbler's ShOD,

At 100 Elizabeth street, New York, in
one of the dineiest tenements of the Italian
quarter. where people are packed like sar-
dimes in a can, is the smallest workshop in
America, if not in the world. Originally a
narrow hallway admitted inmates of the
house by that way, but the lessee decided
that it was a wicked and un-ltalian waste
to have two halls and closed it. The outer
half is now a cobbler's shop, Z feet deep
and 5 feet 3 inches from wall to wall.

SMALLEST IN THE A n

In this %cubbyhole Luciano Belsano keeps
all the implements and stock of his trade
and does an active business as cobbler, and
for it he pays four dollars a month. He is
young, cheerful and active, and can work
with three other persons in the shop, but
they all have to change position at the
same time. He has a wife and baby at his
home in an adjacent section, and admits
that they are saving money-so fast, he
adds, that they hope in a few years to re-
turn to Naples, live at ease, and he can
"Ie all day in the sun if he likes" He
does not speak English. and cares not to
learn, as all his customers are Italians and
he does not expect to stay in America.
