Tho Lemonade of Yore.

"Wunct upon time" recently re-
Gently remarked an aged candy butcher
who dispenses peanuts and popcorn bars
at the Madison Square garden, "they
used to make circus lemonade as was
circus lemonade, but them times is gone
up the centerpole and they amt never
agoin to come back In them days all
we fellers needed to clean up twenty or
thirty dollars before and after the show
was three pounds of sugar, pint of
citric acid, a washin tub and pump
that threw good stream We uster
put lemons in and let 'em float around.
but when the crowd went we'd fish 'em
out again, and one dozen lemons 'ud last
us through whole county.
II tell you, young feller, a schooner
of that there lemonade, after it had been
a-standin in the sun for an hour or so.
with fly or two doin the Captain Boy
ton act in it, was something to be re-
membered But that's all changed now
They put stuff in it that makes it pink
and dudley lookin, they mix it in punch
bowls instead Of washtubs, and instead
of savin money they use real lemons in
stead of acid" ua ,r
Then, with sigh of regret for the
golden past, the aged man sold the small
boy a short weight bag of peanuts. a
damaged popcorn bar and gave him two
plugged nickels in change. New York

Burke's Grasshopper.

Sir Philip Francis once waited upon
Edmund Burke by appointment, to read
over to him some important public docu-
ments. He found Mr.. Burke in his gar
den, holding a grasshopper and observ-
ing it attentively.
.fWhat beautiful creature is this!"
said Burke. "Observe its structure-its
legs, its wings, its eyes,"
sHow can you," said Sir Philip, close
your time in adnairing such an animal,
when you have so many objects of i'm
portance to attend tor
"Yet Socrates" said Burke, "attended
to a much less animal; he actually meas
ured the proportion which its size bore
to the space it passed over in skip.
think the skip of grasshopper does not
exceed Its length. Let us see."
"My dear friend" said Sir Philip, 81
am in great hurry; let us walk in and
let me read my papers to you"
Into the house they walked. Sir Philip
began to read and Burke appeared to
listen. At length Sir Philip, having
mislaid paper, pause ensued.
81 think" said Burke, ''that natural
lists are now agreed that locusta, not
cicada, is the Latin word for grasshop-
per. What's your opinion, Sir Philip
.'My opinion" answered Sir Philip,
gathering up his papers and preparing
to go. sis that till the grasshopper is OUT
of your head, it will be idle to talk tc

wood in EgYptian stonework.

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found in the ancient
temples of Egypt in connection with the
stonework, which is known to be at
least 1000 years old. This, the only
wood used in the construction of the
temples, is in the form of ties holding
the end of one stone to another. When
two blocks were laid in place, an ex-
cavation about an inch deep was made
in each block, in which tie shaped like
an hour glass is driven. 1t is therefore
very difficult to force any stone from its
position. The ties appear to have been
of the Timarish or Shittim wood

How the Map Of Picking Was Made.

How military map of Peking was Sc
cretly made is told by General Sir Robert
Biddulph. During the China war of
1860, in which Sir Robert was engaged,
our army was greatly embarrassed by
the absence of any map of the city. But
it happened that the Russian legation
had, only a few months before, con-
trived to make map in spite of the
jealous watchfulness of the Chinese.
They had sent an officer, in small
covered cart, such as they use to carry
their women about, completely covered
in. An indicator was attached to the
wheel He drove for certain distance
to a certain crossroad, for example, and
'stook shot" with his instrument; then
down the next road, and in that way
made complete plan of Peking, with all
its streets and roads, both in the Tartar
city and in the Chinese city. General
Ignatieff, who produced the map, offered
its use to the English. There were no
photographers then attached to the
army; but an Italian photographer, who
had followed the army for his own pri-
vate purposes. being set to work, pro-
duced a number of copies, which proved
extremely serviceable. London News.

Grewsome Superstition in Hungary

A strange story of superstition isre-
ported from Homoliez, in Hungary. Sv-
eral bodies of men had been found tlfre
with their heads cut off. An investta-
ton was made by the police, and it
turned out that these mutilations hadin
every instance been committed by yong
men who were betrothed to the widows
OF the decapitated persons. The hs-
bands had died natural death, Ad
their widows believed that in case thy
married a second time their first hs-
bands would reappear and destroy thir
welded happiness. Hence they had Hr-
suaded their new bridegrooms to decp-
itate their deceased partners. Pail NIL

IA modem Miracle.

There Lived in the vicinity of Bergerac
d parish priest who was greatly beloved.
His parishiouers decided upon getting
up a subscription to present him with
cask of wine. One Of the inhabitants
supplied the cask, and each of the rest
came and poured in two litres of the
produce of his vineyard. One day last
week our cure invited some OF the sub
scribers to dinner, in order to taste the
beverage which formed compound OF
all the wines grown in the district. The
servant went to turn the tap, and came
back with decanter full of water IN
her hand.
"Whatever is thatY was the general
cry.
s1This is the wine out of the barrel"
His reverence could not make it out;
it was altogether puzzling! The guests
were splitting with laughter. Each one
had thought to himself that the presence
OF two htres of water would not be de-
tected in butt of wine, but, as it hap
pened, they had all acted on the same
idea.-Petit Liegeois.

saved by His Boots.


General Marriott tells, in his Mem
oirs," hows his light boous once saved
him from being killed by Austrian
lancers. At the battle of Eckmuhl he
was ordered by Marshai 'Lannes to con-
duct regiment of cuiraSSiers TO point
where it was to charge regiment OF
Croats.
The French charged and annihilated
the Croats, but carrying their charge
too far, were in their turn repulsed by
regiment of Austrian fancers. AS the
French retreated at gallop they came
to where Marriott was standing, his
horse having been killed. Only few
hundred feet intervened between the
lancers and the cuirassiers, and If Mar
bot had been left behind he would have
been killed
Two mounted soldiers gave him their
hands, and thus, half lifted from the
ground, he bounded along, while they
galloped at rapid pace into their own
lines.
"It was time for my gymnastic course
to end," he writes. ''for was complete
ly out of breath and could not have con-
tinued. | learned then how inconven-
lent are the heavy long boots of the
cuirassiers in time of war. for a young
officer in the regiment who, like me,
had his horse killed under him, and was
supported by two of his comrades on the
return gallop in the same manner was,
found himself unable to keep pace with
the horses on account of his heavy boots
He was left behind, and was killed by
an Austrian lancer, while escaped by
reason of my light boots"

At parting to address you, :

He says, "Goodby, God bless you'll"
This seems to be sacred phrase
With reverence impassioned;
A thing come down from righteous days
Quantity but nobly fashioned.
1t well becomes an honest face.
A voice that's round and cheerful;
1t stays the sturdy in his place,
And soothes the weak and fearful;
Into the porches of the ears -

To work its gracious function:

resident of Croton Landing, N. Y. He
says he purchased the goose from Isaac
Hill, who made an affidavit at the time
that the faithful fowl was ffty-two
years of age then. The goose lays fifty

the end of the third year of his posses
sion for $100. He says, to the best of his
knowledge and belief, she is now eighty
