SAD DISTURBER OF DIGNITY,
n Long RavclinG Trailing Behind a Man
Bound to Make Him Ridiculous.

Among the little things that detraCt
from a mans dignified appearance, such
as his necktie crawling mp TO his ear. one
cuft showing two or three inches more
than the other, or his vest buttOned wrong
quite the is a great long ravcling
trailing oven him. One rather expects to
Hnd a woman covered with scraps and
raYeIlngs-trOphies Of her hOusewifcry-
but can scarce repress a smile when a
mans dignity is marred by such evidences
Of dOmcsticity.
L attended a lecture some time ago that
was really an eloquent masterpiece. | sat
near the lecturer SO that l might see every
expression of his intellectual face, and /
am sure that l should have thorough
ly enjoyed the address had it,no been
that a long white thread dangled on his
coat sleeve. When he became earnestly en-
thuslastlc, the string swung and whirled
violently, and when he grew pathetic it
waved slowly back and forth as if en-
phasizing the pathos. l tried to pay at
%tention, and | looked at the mans face
and cndcayOrcd to sympathize with his
subject, but as soon as | looked away from
the raveling l was consumed with the de-
sire to see what it was doing then, and
before | realized it | was watching the
thread Ii its motions is if Cntranccd.
You have probably had experience with
some little thing that wholly distracted
your attention from a subject upon which
you are anxious to fix your mind and
realize to what d degree that lecture was
spoiled for me by IA silly little raveling.
Have you never been one of a
that seemed almost cOnvulscd at the sight
Of a man with one Of those innocent me
harmless little threads on his clothes? \
whole row Of people at the National the
other night laughed and Uttered and got
into a regular glce because Il baldhc&dcd
man i'll front had a raveling cntangled in
bis sparse fringe Of hair and trailing grace
fully over his bald spot. Yes, there is
something Incidentally funny about a
travelling and Il man when they are com

Keen Ont of DPbt.

Every one who has a fixed income of
any kind ought SO to regulate his cxpend-
iturcs as to bring them within it. This
is a habit which should be inculcatcd in
the very earliest years. The child with an
allowance for its pleasures, be 1t ever 50
small, should never be suffered to exceed
it or to draw upon the future. The youth
should be taught to undergo self denial
rather than to borrow the none to obtain
n qualification. There is more true indie
pcndcncc in this lesson than in hundreds
Of shouts or boasts of liberty which too OF
ten only convey the idea Of casting off
duty and obligation. such instruction,
however. will be useless while example
points the other way. The father and
mother who live beyond their means, who
incur debt for the pleasures OF the table,
or for dress, or for the vanity Of competing
with neighbors and keeping up a certain
style of living, or for private indulgence
of any kind. need never to expect TO Guilt
waite in their child an honorable determI-
nation to owe no man neutrality-suspicious.

PET DOCS OF KINGS.
How Richard IL Was ~Forewarned and
Charles Unwittingly BETRAYED.


At Berkeley's castle in 1899 there was q
memorable meeting between Richard II.
the last Plantagsnct king, and Henry OF
Lancaster. Richard had a noble greyhound
with him, a dog that had never eaten
from any hand but his or noticed any one
Win laVOr save his royal master. Sir Wal
ter Scott, in Woodstock" describes Sir
Henry Lees dog Bcvis as being one Of the
same stock, fleet as a greyhound, but
strong as Il mastitf, tawny cOlored, with
black muZzle and feet and a white ring
around his toes" Richard, in amaze
ment, saw his dog leave him and carcss
Henry, nor could he be persuaded to leave
his new masters side. He goes to the
new king" said Richard bitterly.
be was right, for Henry, a~fterward
Henry " Of England, won from him not
only his dog, but the crown as we'll.
Charles / also had a pet greyhound,
which was constantly with him while he
was a prisoner at Hampton Cour5. He
felt himself in great danger there, fearing
that n Of the soldiers might try TO kill
him, and he wanted to escape.
He was a very unfortunate man about
his secrets, for they were always found
out. He did not intend to let any ONT
know when he left Hampton. 1t was
twilight, and he had planned to 60 quietly
out of the garden through a part of it
called Paradise, which was planted thick
~ with trees, so that it was too shadOwy
at dark for any one to be seen distinctly.
He could not take his favoritc dog with
him, and as soon as be was gone the dog
began crying in the most pitiful way.
Some of the attendants came quickly to
see what had happened and found out the
kings secret.
Poor king, he had the same i'll luck
when he was brought back to his trial and
death. In going through Ncwburg forest,
in which he had hunted SO often that he
knew every nOok and corner, it was
planned that he was to complain of his
horse, when Lord NeWburg would offer his
own, the swiftest horse in all England. p"
At point farther on other horses and men
awaited him.
Alas, the swift horse was found lame in
it's stall, and as Charles glanced round
he saw that the hundred men guarding him
had each a loaded pistol ready in hand
OF all the plans of escape one had been
so easy o. so practicable as the n that
his affectionatc greyhound had unwilling
Iy betrayed.-Ella +. Mo9by in Philadel-
phia Times.

Turks at the Holy Selpulcher.

One of the most homogeneous sights at
the holy sepulcher is the Turkish divan
just inside the entrance, on which a couple
of MOslcms rcClinC, gazing with apparent
indifference at the devOut pilgrims who
pass through the gate, but really scruti-
nizing them with a view to soliciting back
sheesh. These men may be styled the
iailers of ChristcndOm, for they possess
the right Of opening and closing the Basil
lea. This privilege has been hereditary
in two families for centuries. To one of
them belongs the right of keeping the key
Of the gate and to the other one the priv
lege Of opening it. When any one of the
three communities living inside the Basil
lea desires the gate to be opened, a serv-
ant is signalcd to call the representatives
Of the two families. After a long delay
because an oriental is never in a hurry
except when he wants a favOr-the two
men appear. The gate can be unlocked
only in the presence of the two, the old
regulations prescribing the attendance of
both, as the one holding the key is not al
lowed to open the gate, and vice versa.
After having performed their duty they
repair to the divan and proceed to light
the nargileh and fan the brazier upon
which they make their coffee. Charcoal
and coffee have to be furnished them by
the fathers, besides a stipend of money,
the price of all reaching about 81 for each
opening. The gate only remains open I'M
til about II o'clock In the forenoon. On
festivals, when any of the patriarchs make
their solemn entrance, both wings of the
gate are thrown open, and the price OF
this anges from S. to so, consuls and
other distinguished visitors being expected
to give extra backshccsh.-North Ameri-
