Simplicity.

After the death OF George Canning,
the eloquent English statesman, thcI .
was erected to his memory u bronze
statue OF heroic size, with that green
incrustatiOn known rs verd.antiQue.
One day Judge Taunton, coming out
OF Westminster Hall with Tncsiger
the able lawyer, paused before the
statue, and began criticising II. He
found fault with the likeness, and
then with emphasis said: "l,cs. des,
Canning was not SO tall" "NO, nor
10 green" retorted the witty lawyer.
An English workman mcdc n serious
remark similar to the joke OF the En-.
Rlish judge. Dr. BlOmberg, u clergy.
man, who had been brought up with
George w., bought u bronze bust OF
the King. and sent 1t /, his house In
Yorkshire. The carpenter, while
putting up u bracket Tor It to stand
upon, asked II the bust was really q
likeness of the King. On being told
that II had y striking resem blance,
the man exclaimed:
swell, slr, / hud no idea before
that tho King was n black man."
a recent book narratcs that u party
from the West OF England was DC.
ing shown over the British Museum.
IT, one of tue rooms the keeper
pointed out collection OF antique
vases, whish had been recently dug
up ut Herculaneum.
"Dug up sir?" echoed one Of the
party
'Yes, SIR"
"What, out OF the ground?"
"u Undoubtedly"
"What, Just as they now areS"
"PcrhaDs some little pains have
been taken In cleaning them, but in
all other respects they were found
just as you see them"
The wise man from Somersc tshire
turned to one OF his cOmpan ions, ana
with an incredulOus shake OF the
head whispered:
He may say what he likes, but he
shall never persuade me that they
dug up rcady.made pots out Of the
ground"
