The late Baron Hirsch's life was onn-
trolled by two desires that seemed equal
~ TO determine his whole career. The
one was to uplift and help the whole

nevertheless, aside from some such i'm
portant exceptions, Baron Hirsch never
penetrated beyond the outer circle Of
that exclusive social set, where birth,
not wealth. is mainly the medium Of
exchange.
An anecdote is told Of the multimil-
lionaire, illustrating this mania for So
cial recognition. AT one time his name
was presented that he might become a
member Of the Jockey club. the most
aristccratic club in Paris. He had set
his heart on being admitted. Two

the finest buildings in Paris, he gave
legal notice that when its lease expired

given that if he would permit the club
to remain, his election would be Sc

Horse Shedding a Witness.

Il can't imagine where Senator FL
kins obtained his authority for the ex-
PLANTATION which he gives of the origin
Of the expression horse shedding, I"
said Representative Grosvenor. 1.-THE
origin Of this famous expression was as
follows:
In days gone by the Ohio courts
held sessions at different county seats
at certain periods known as court terms
To accommodate the large crowds of
litigants and witnesses who would flock
in from points for miles around the
county seat when court was in session,
the county authorities erected sheds
near the courthouse, where the litigants
and their witnesses, could tie and feed
their horses while they attended court,
and these sheds became known as horse
sheds. Now, owing to the limited space
Of the courtrooms, the lawyers. who
always travelled with the court, were
unable to hold private consultation
with their clients and witnesses inside
the walls, and 30 they used to take them
under the morse sheds and there talk
matters over with them.
Among the attorneys who attended
court at Chester, the then county seat Of
Meigs county, on one occasion were Tom
Ewing and Samuel F. vinton. The
court was ready to go ON with the case
in which the two noted attorneys were
retained as opening counsel, when it
was discovered that Vinton was not
present The court looked carefully
around and then asked:
"'Where is Mr.. Vinton?
"'I don't know, your honor, said
Ewing, rising to his feet. He is not
here, but he is probably outside horse
shedding his witnesses.
''The remark raised general laugh,
and thereafter the word horse shedding
awitness passed into popular parlance. "

He Was In Such q Hurry.

A friend who hailed recently from
Cairo told me this tale, as an illustra-
ton of the dilatory ways of Arabian
trades people:
"A certain gentleman ordered a
swing to be erected i'll his garden for
the use Of his little boy, aged 6. He
waited and waited, but the swing never
arrived. In due course Of time that boy
grew up to mans estate, and became
himself the father of little boy
when his son was years old, he
remembered how his own father had or
dered a swing to be made for him. So
he called on the tradesman, who lived
at his gate. and asked him to send up
the swing that had been ordered 20
years before. The man agreed to do so.
1.-The little boy, becoming impatient
after three weeks, his father called
again, and demonstrated with the Ara
bian as TO his dilatOriness. The indig-
nant tradesman replied that he could
not really undertake to serve any one
who was in such "a fearful hurry -

.Eddicashin" at Shields, 1870.

1t was in the midst Of war, tumult
and riot that the first free school was
founded, ut the instance Of few en-
lightened citizens of Shields, who
thought this better way Of celebrating
King Georges jubilee than by spending
the money collected for that purpose in
fireworks. But "eddicashin" was in
those days looked upon by many as a
thing not to be countenanced in any de-
gree whatever. As Shields shipowner
Indignantly exclaimed: "Eddicashin!
Eddicashin! Noa! Well syun hev nee
sarvints" Another weighty argument
against education, especially in place
like Shields, whose seafaring inhabit-
ants at that time had more risks TO en-
counter than they were subjected TO by
the elements, was:
For mickle waste he counteth it would be
To stock head with bookish wares at all,
Only TO be- knocked OF by ruthless cannon ball.
The Royal Jubilee school was opened
III 1911, but, owing 70 the almost uni
versal objecting TO educating the mass
es, the learning which the trustees thus
freely offered was SO hedged i'll by re-
strictions that it was very poor plant,
indeed. Spelling, the Bible and Watts
Hymns" We're about the only things
taught, for the trustees. as the only
means of surrounding opposition, avail
ed themselves literally of good King
Georges desire that every poor child in
the kingdom should be able to read his

1t is far back enough to trace the
mystery of the egg to the egg and dart
pattern, but when we come to study the
history of the Easter egg we engulf our
selves in the remoteness of time In a
poached egg-what is the definition Of
poach? Now, Easter and the Jewish
passover occur at quite the same dates,
and the pasch egg is the Passover egg.
and from that may come the potch,
pooh, poche, potched or poached egg.
The old Aryan myth, so folklorists tell
US, finds its revival in early Christian
ity's adopting the egg as an emblem of
the resurrection. As to the pecking of
eggs, and the appropriation Of the bro
ken one by the lad possessing the hard
er egg, that began as soon as Juvenile
greed was developed, and the small boy
of the remote period did not differ much
from the one of today. New York
