Martha Is four years old and has just
begun her religious education in the in.
FAINT class Of an up town Sunday school,
1t is custom of the teacher of this partic.
ular infant class to give each of her small
pupils a card containing short text which
the child is expected to memorize during
the week. In passing them out she charg-
ed each Of the children to be sure to keep
them carefully and return them the next
pun1,J, that they might be passed on to
others
Martha is not very careful little girl,
and though fully impressed with the duty
of return ing the card she neglected to put
it in place of safety, and even before she
had reached home she discovered that she
had lost 1t. The thought worried her con-
siderably at first, until Il bright idea came
into her heaG, and, strange to relate, it
staid there all the week. She said nothing
to her mother about the lost card, and the
next Sunday went off to Sunday school
happy as usual. The lost card was not
troubling her innocent little conscience.
The infant class assembled and the teacher
called on the children to return their cards.
When it came Martha's turn, she arose and
said timidly: II am very sorry, but lost
my card before got home. have brought
you ono of my own which papa gave me to
play with. 1t is much bigger and prettier
than the one lost" And she placed ii
with the rest.
The young woman who was teaching
the infant class stared in mute astonish-
ment, while several unregenerate adults in
different parts of the classroom bit their
lips to keep from laughing.
The card which little Martha had ten.
dered was somewhat dilapidated queen
of hearts. Buffalo Express.

Prehistoric England.

Mr.. H. Slopes, in The Athenaum, pre-.
sents Q picture of what must have been a
prehistoric metropolis in England in the
long past. Evidently there was part OF
Kent occupied by men in many ages.
Some of the samples of mans handiwork
are possibly older than when the gravels
were deposited. When, later, there came
slow OF rapid denudation, some of the
stone implements may have been left in
stu or removed by floods, to be found at a
distance from their place of origin. 1t is
in the neighborhood of Swanscombe that
a vast number of worked stones show that
thereabout must have been once center
of population. Mr.. Slopes writes, "The
earliest tools were doubtless natural "
The first stone at hand, picked up at the
instant, served to throw at an animal or a
bird. A stone was an aid. Then, if man
were in a sandy plain, where there were
no stones, he took his missile with him.
Then he used selection as to stones, and in
time, knowing what he wanted, set about
manufacturing the shapes he thought best
adapted to his requirements.
Returning to his center Of primitive
man in Kent, Mr.. Slopes shows that the
site of 1t was so apcient that during even
its existence the Thames had seooped out
Its course and flowed so feet deeper than
at the beginning; that even then, after
this cutting of the soil, the woolly man.
moth and the rhinoceros were the game
the hunters sought. After these animals
had passed away, the river had cut its way
another so feet deeper. 1t is in the clays
and gravels that lie buried the evidences
of man who lived in the many unreckona-
BILE centuries.

Not Q Factor.

Examining Counsel Ito witness)-What
Is your age, madam?
Witness with a charming smile)-It
would do you no good to know, sir, for I
am married and out of the market.
Then the court smiled, and the bar smil-
ed, and tho examining counsel himself
smiled, and the question was not pressed.
London Tit-Bits.
The Paris Debats relates an amusing
story from Vienna. NJ. Weigl Of that city
is man of original mind and has long
conceived that the vaouous gaze and alien
smile of the wax figures used in fashion
shops might be changed into something
higher and nobler. The said figures are
honceforth to possess a high educational
value. Inspired with this idea, he aban-
doned the "veteras oerae," or ancient
wakes of a primitive time, and copied the
features of Nine. Ilka Palmaz and other
leading artists. For NJ. Weigl is himself
an artist in wax. This new form of real
ism took greatly and the shops of nou-
veautes were the center of admiring
throngs. But other celebrities began to
appear in other shops. The fashion mart
of Vienna was fast becoming a museum
Of famous men and women. NJ. Weigl
found that his great idea was being adopt
ed by a disloyal competitor, and he has
therefore caused this offender to appear be-
fore the tribunal, to pay heavy fine and
promise to destroy the plagiarized busts.
1t is a pity that this invention was not In
troduced into England before general elec-
ton. A portrait model of our successful
member in gala dress would have been a
great hit, and the defeated rival, clad in
Grape, would have made valuable figure
for the funeral warehouse Pail Mall Ga
zette.
