 There is n growing fashion among trav- cling men to attach to their satchels and valises those well known little straps fas- tening to tho handle of the baggage small leather tag, into which is slipped card bearing the owners name. As a traveller walks along tho street carrying his bag gage thus tagged it is often easy to read his name by walking a moment at his sde and glancing at tho tag.
 Tho confidence men and bunko steerers hnvo not been slow to discover that fact, and they not infrcqucntly in this way learn the actual name Of their intended victim without the assistance of the usual confederate whoso business it is to learn tho victim namo and place of residence.

 He drifted into tho city again not long ago, and as he laid his satchel upon the hotel desk I was surprised to sec that it bore orc of tho little leather tags containing lHb CdIN Ol MT JdDtA h.

 My friend smiled, winlled slyly at tho hotel clerk and said mystcriously: "No, haven't. That's my satchel, but 1t isn't my namc. Come outside with me after awhile, and I'll show you how it works if VIC have my usual luck. '

The stork.

In Holland some bad boys presumed upon the absence of the stork from her nest to substitute hen eggs for her own. The mother never suspected the trick and conscientiously patched out her false pro geniturc. But NGon the little bullets made their appearance father and mother were in consternation. They screamed in turn, Tapped their wings turned around their nest in great excitement, then together bounced upon the fraudulent children and massacred them without pity.
 A similar story comes from q greater distance. At Smyrna French surgeon, wishing to procure storks' eggs for some purpose, abstracted them from a nest in tho vicinity and replaced them with hens eggs, as in the preceding case. The moth CT faithfully matched them out, but at the critical moment there was conjugal scene, and the husband left home only to return very soon with large number of his brethren A court was constituted and circle formed around tho wife ac cuscd of adultery. Tho husband exposed his complaint, and the poor innocent, con demned to death was immediately hacked to pieces. The nest remained deserted.

trees and shrubs, and at tho end stands tablet 25 feet highsby 6 feet broad, on which arc engraved the name and the do- ings of Confucius the Sage.
 No historian has over ventured to doubt the genuineness of this tomb. The burial places of Virgil, of Homer, and even of Alexander the Great, are still unknown but such Is not the case with that of one whose namc and teachings have influenced the great world of China for 23 centuries or more
 Confucius fourished at the very time when Pythagoras established his school of philosophy at Crotona, when Cyrus, the king, permitted the Jews to rebuild their temple, and when Haggai, tho prophet, uttered those words which now form part of our sacred Scriptures. He was born 651 B. C., when the prophet Daniel received his visions, and he died at the advanced age of 73, just about the time when the Athenians were rebuilding the walls of their city and becoming great among the nations of the earth, says writer in the New York Sun.

Crests.

"You will not find one woman in a
hundred who is familiar with the rules
of heraldry," said IA fashionable stationer.
Ladies' insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper, even when tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages of centuries to use only the arms
A handsome woman came in the store
one day and said, Mr.. B, I wish you
would puta crest and arms on my paper.
l knew it would be useless to argue
about the crest, and so l asked her,
Have you any crest with your oh, no!
haven't any she answered. You can
make nice one, can't your 1 learned
that her husband was grain dealer, so
for Il crest designed n sheaf of wheat
For the arms l designed some hawk
heads on shield, and she was delighted"
Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her FAM
lily arms into a diamond frame, with
very simple adornment. When wom-
an marries, the arms of her family must
be put OH the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled,
the wifc's arms occupying one position
and the husbands tho other. If she be-
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of diamond,
symbolizing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly
