An Old Family.

Several years ago there was an old
family in Pennsylvania named Roth.
Indeed the long line of Roths was about
all the family had to show by way Of
distinction, and so much did they make
of the long branches of the family tree
and the Niagara Of blue blood that had
in centuries past coursed through their
veins that people of the more recent gen.
erations really began to think these
Roths were of some account.
One evening there happened to be a
party in the little town of M, and
beside the great Roth family the guests
numbered among others young DR..
Sharp. He was a popular and rising
physician and considered by matchnak-
ing a particularly desirable
catch.
Mrs. Roth had four manageable
daughters, so at the first favorable OPP
p~ortunity she cornered the young doctor
and sought to impress upon him the I'M
D~ortance of her wonderful family.
"Why, DOCTOR" she said, "we all came
over on the Mayfower, SO l know You
will not think me bold in asserting that
the Roths are really one Of the first fam
lilies"
pardon me" replied the young ply
stefan, ''but | have nc hesitation in say
ing that your family enjoys even a great
er distinction"
"On, DOCTOR" gushed the old woman,
giving herself a congratulatory hug on
her coming triumph. Indeed you fiat
ter US"
"Not at all" he replied, ''for I know
you are the first family"
"Who told you that, dear doctor!"
"The Bible" he replied r~everently,
"for it says the Lord was Roth."-Bos-
ton Budget.

ALTEK 2 NRESHAM,
Secretary of State.
A Claimants Revenge.

A good story is told of a stipendiary
magistrate in Il Yorkshire town, not
given to err on the side Of lenicncy, who
heavily fined Il cabman for fast driving.
\ few days after the magistrate, de-
tanned rather longer than usual in the
court, was hurrying along to catch his
train when, seeing an empty cab handy,
he hailed the driver and directed him to
proceed to the station, telling him that
he was pressed for time. The driver,
however, needless of the hint, kept to a
gentle trot. Il say, | say, my man."
exclaimed the fare, with his head out of
the window, drive faster than this!"
1T can't be done. sir" replied the driver.
'Ye see, if we drives faster we're had
up afore the 'beak, and we gets fined,
so we has to be careful" He did not
alter his pace, and neither did the "beak"
catch his train.-London Tit-Bits.@

Princess Hohenlone's inheritance.

Princess Hohenlohe, the wife of the
governor general OF Alsace-Lorraine, in
herited from her uncle, a Russian gener-
al, estates IL Russia worth 80, 000, 0G0 or
40, 600, 0G0 rubles. Under the Russian law
foreign nonresidents cannot hold proper
ty, and the princess is compelled to sell
her estates at once. She asked the car
to grant her a little time, as the financial
stringency, which prevails in Russia as
we'll as III this country, has made real es-
tate hard to dispose OF. The car, how
ever, for political reasons, refuses to
grant the extension, and the woman may
be able to realize only 1900, coo or co.
0 1000 rubles from her heritage.

Some New York Breakfasts.

Nearly every German bakery on Third
avenu serves breakfast and luncheon to
the furnished room population of the
east side. Some serve eggs and cold
meats, coffee, tea and chocolate. The
majority, however, provide only coffee,
tea, rolls and cakes. Nine out of ten
of the customers take coffee and cake.
The latter is not the French or Ameri-
can kind. It consists of foul varieties
dear to the German ~palate-apple,
peach, prune and sugar. The last
named is also called cinnamon. 1t is
made of bread dough on the upper sur
face of which is spread some butter,
sugar and cinnamon. Then it is baked
hard.
The peach and apple cakes are made of
thinly rolled bread dough, ~surmounted by
slices of apples OF peaches, as the case
may be. When a little butter and sugar
have been placed between the slices, the
baker has approached as near perfection
as possible. The dough Of the prune cake
is made like the other and covered
thickly with mashed stewed prunes.
In the best bakeries q slice of any Of
these cakes from four to five inches
square is sold for ) cents. A good cup of
coffee or tea with milk and sugar costs
the same. Those who like light and sweet
breakfasts can thus be satisfied for 10
cents. Probably 5000 east siders eat
such breakfasts in the bakeries every
morning.-New York Sun.

Growth of the Human Heart.

DR.. Benecke Of Marburg has made
known his observations on the growth
of the human heart, the fact appearing
that the increase is greatest and most
rapid during the first and second years
of life, its bulk at the end Of the second
year being exactly double what it origin
ally was. Between the second and
seventh years it is again doubled in size.
A slower rate of growth then sets in and
continues during the period Of maturity
Of other portions Of the body. After the
fifteenth year up to the fiftieth the an
nual growth of the heart is about .O61 of
a cubic inch, the increase ceasing about
the fiftieth year.-Leisure Moments.

The Origin of Starching.

The course of history carries US back
no further than the year 1864 for the
origin Of s%tarching in London. 1t was
in that year that Mistress Van der Plasse
came with her husband from Flanders
to the English metropolis for their
greater safety" and there professed her
self a starcher. The best housewives of
the time were not long i'll discovering
the excellent Wilderness Of the Dutch
linen," as it was called. and Mistress
Plasse soon had plenty Of good paying
clients. Some Of these began to send
her rufus Of lawn to starch, which she
did so excellently we'll that it became a
saying that if any one sent her a ruff
made of a spiders web she would be
able to starch it. So greatly did her
reputation grow that fashionable danes
went to her to learn the art and mystery
Of starching, for which they gladly paid
a premium OF 81 or e5, and for the Sc
cret Of seething starch they paid gladly
a farther sum Of 90 shillings.-New York

ROYAL Pin Money,

The Princess of Wales long retire
ment has enabled her to save much of her
pin money-e10. 600 a year-and bring it
up to a comfortable mount. In the past
Alexandra has had plenty to DO with
that allowance, dressing herself most
elegantly, her daughters very much less
so, and fitting out the boys. Times have
changed, her children have an annual
income of E36, 900 to divide among them
selves, and the princess has lived aloof
from London society since the death Of
her eldest son, thereby mourning but lit
tie expense for dress.-New York Adyer-

Maidens' Barouseters For Diyining TT
Depths of Their Sweethearts' Love.

Maideus' B~aroueters For Diyining the
Depths of Their Sweethearts' Love.
It is singular to See how many mean
ingless ceremonies are now practiced by
young women-ceremOuies which were
formerly used i'll earnest as love charms
or iucantations. Most Of these have an am
atory origin, and in connection with not
afew certain flowers are used presumably
as a means of foretelling the future. In
| several parts of New England when a
young lady expects a visit from her lover
she will pluck a marigold, take it in her
hand when he arrives and carry it until
the end of his visit, when from its fresh
Or faded condition she will judge of the
strength of his affection.
A German girl, after having been
called on by her lover, will put a star
flower or dandelion in water and leave it
there until his next visit, drawing an
omen from its condition, while a Spanish
maiden will take a moss rosebud, wear
it on her breast, and if it expands to be-
come a perfect flower the omen is con
sidered exceedingly fortunate. A super
stition Of the same kind is shown by the
East Indian maiden who places a poppy
in her hair. In England the primrose is
used for the same purpose, and in coun-
try districts Of New England the spikes
of the rib wort plantain are taken,
wrapped in dock leaves, placed beneath
a stone, and if the next day signs of new
buds appear the omen is considered
happy.
In France young ladies DESTROYS of
ascertaining the extent Of a lovers affec-
ton take the common daisy and pull off
its leaves one by one, with the question,
"Does he love me? Does he love me
little? Does lie love me much? Does he
love me with all his soul:" Marguerite
in Faust" uses the common blue bottle
with similar questions. In England the
ash leaf is sometimes employed to ascer-
tain the faithfulness Of an absent lover,
and the Irish maiden learns of her future
by putting a shamrock in her shoe, after
which she walks abroad, and the first
man she meets or one of his an will be
her husband.-New York Advertiser.
