. A cHATELAINE DICTIONARY.
Fifteen Thousand Words in the Space of a
LoCIset.

A popular prize just now for card
parties or for souvenirs is the tiny
chatelaine dictionary. The trinllet is
finding rapid sale at present, not only
for such purposes as named, but be-
cause of the individual recognition of
the real value of the little article. The
tiny booklet, not much larger than a
postage stamps of the old vermillion
type, contains i'll its leaves fifteen
thousands words, with their meaning.
When snug in its silver case it is
no thicker than an ordinary locket,
while its size, as stated, is
of the postage stamp order.
In the silver cover of the
little dictionary magnifying glass is
affixed. When the owner desires to
look up word, he simply opens the
little locket, holds the cover with it's
glass over the pages, and the print ap-
pears as fine type, easily readable. The
case which forms the cover of the
dictionary comes in silver or gold,
though the silver has the preference.
The ladies buy the trinkets and fasten
them to their chatelaines. The gentle
men treat them like postage stamp or
match case, and carry themoloosely in
their vest pocket. -Philadelphia Times.

THE ISLE OF MAN.
Its Ancient Customs, Its Government and
Its Tailless Cats.

The Isle of Man is only thirty-three
miles long and twelve wide, so that 1t
is not great labor to get over 1t, and
as two railradsrun-one north to south,
and the other east TO west-you can
see how easy it is to the visitor. Doug
las, Port Erin, Peel and Ramsey are
the chief towns.
The Isle of Man, while belonging to
the British Crown, is neither English,
Scotch, Irish, nor Welsh, but is sepa-
rate country, with home-rule govern
ment, and language of its own; but
yet with great loyalty to the imperial
government and devoted to Queen Vic
toria, for everywhere you go you see
pictures of the royal family. The gov
eminent is known as the blouse OF
Keys" and consists of twenty-four
members, elected every seven years;
but no person has vote unless he
possesses real estate to the value of $40,
or occupation of the value of EGO per
year, and women are also entitled to
vote. The court of Tynwald, presided
over by the Acknowledgements, is
composed of the council, which en-
braces the bishop, Encouragement,
two judges, the clerk of the rolls, wa
ter bailiff, and the vicar-general. This
council and the house of keys are the
active government of the great Isle of
Man.
There is one feature of special inter
est in reference to the laws, and that
is that all laws passed by the house of
keys are sent for the royal assent, and
when that has been secured then the
law must be formally read in the En-
glish and MauX languages on Tyn-
wald hill in the open air, where the
council and the keys united form a
Tynwald court, before they become
laws. This form of reading the law at
Tynwald is the oldest style on record,
was old in 1417, and has been continued
every since. The 9Th day of July in
each year is the day of public proc
lamation of the laws passed by the
house of keys.
The coat of arms of this isle is three
legs of q man in 4 circle. The motto,
translated, reads: "Whithersoever
thrown, I shall stand" The NIanxmen
rather enjoy the three
legged crest, for everywhere you turn
your face, whether at a steamboat, q
railroad a coach, Il flag or on the win
dows of the stores, there you see the
three legs.
