Here is an actual conversation which
occurred in Philadelphia restaurant
between an American and an English
man, both OF full age, and one voter,
says the Standard:
American How long have you been
in this country?
Englishman-About two years and q
half
American-How far from London did
you live?
Englishman- Right in London; that
is, they call it London. Old London
was surrounded by wall, and was no
bigger than Philadelphia. The wall was
built by the Romans when they occu-
pied that par Of England.
American is that so? How long ago
was .aat?
Englishman-0h, abou. eight hun
dred years or 50, in the time OF William
the Conqueror
American didn't know the Romans
eEer lived in England Was that wall
all around the city?
Englishman-Ies. with several gates
in it, which were shut at night
american What was that about?
Wasn't there king named George III.
who tried to conquer America and
didn't succeed? That was the time q
fhc revolution They had trouble, thc
English and Americans, up to 1sle or
1914.
EDglishman-Yes, l believe there was
something OF chat kind.
American-lsn't London on river?
Englishman-Yes, on the Thames.
Some people pronounce it the way ii is
spelled, but it is wrong.

The smallest measure Of weight in
use, the grain, has its name from being
originally the weight Of grain Of
wheat. A statute passed IN England in
1866 ordained that thirty-two grains Of
wheat, taken from the middle Of the
ear, or head, and well dried, should
make pennyweigiit, twenty Of which
should make an ounce, while twelve
ounces were to make q pound. The
pound, therefore consisted Of 1850
grains. Some centuries later the penny
weight was divided into twentY-four
grains, which make the troy pound, aG
now used, 5,760 grains, the penuy-
weight was the exact weight Of the old
silver penny.

cities, though it need not apply to
the rural districts. The supreme
court, BY a two to one opinion, de
cided such law unconstitutional

obnoxious to the constitution. II

The mortgage tax law should
be re-enacted by the coming legis-
lature, and an honest exemption
for Indebtedness clause should,
also, be a part Of the new assess
ment law. the present system OF
assessing is the mostiniquitous and
unjust law that ever disgraced the
statute books Of any state, and was
passed solely for the purpose Of
exempting from taxation the
foreign loan companies, shifting
from their shoulders to thoseDf the
debt oppressed, the burdens of
government.

Of the light gaudy ribands, Haunting on
her disordered head-dress, so much as
trembled. The old servant Dubois
was crouched on his knees ct her side,
kissing her cold right hand, chatting it
in his, reiterating his faint, mournful
cry: "Oh, my mistress, my dear, dear
mistress~ but she did not appear to
know that he was near her. 1t was
only when her son advanced step or
two towards her that she seemed to
awaken suddenly from that death
trance Of mental pain. Then she slowly
raised the hand that was free, and
waved him back from her. Her lips
moved a little-she spoke:
"Oblige me, sir, for the last time, by
keeping silence. You and have hence
forth nothing to say to each other. am
the daughter of race of mobiles, and the
widow of man of honor. You are a
traitor and false witness, a thing
from which all true men and true
women turn with contempt. renounce
you! Publicly, in the presence Of these
gentleman, say it, have no SON."
She turned her back on him, and bow
ing to the other persons in the room
with the old formal courtesy of bygone
times, walked slowly and steadily to the
door. Stopping there, she looked back;
and then the artificial courage Of the
moment failed her. With faint, sup
pressed cry, she clutched at the hand
of the old servant, who still kept faith
fully at her side; he caught her in his
arms, and her head sank on his shout
der
Help him~ cried the general to the
servants near the door. Help him take
her into the next room!
The old man looked up suspiciously
from his mistress to the persons who
were assisting him to support her.
With strange sudden jealousy he
shook his hand at them. Home" he
cried, "she shall go home, and will
take care of her. Away! you there-no-
body holds her head but Dubois. Down
stairs! downstairs to her carriage!
She has nobody but me now, and l say
she shall be taken home"
AS the door closed, General Berthelin
approached Trudaine, who had stood 81
lent and apart, from the time when Lo-
maque first appeared in the drawing
room.

A Paper Restaurant.

An eating-house made of paper ha.
been erected in the port of Hamburg
It's walls are composed of a double
layer of paper stretched on frames and
impregnated with a fire and water
proof solution. A thin wooden parti-
ton affords further protection against
the inclemency Of the weather. The
roofs and walls are fastened together
by means of bolts and hinges, so that
the entire structure may be rapidly
taken to pieces and put up again. The
dining-room itself measures 30 meters
by meters, and is capable of accom-
modating about $50 persons. There
are twenty-five windows and four sky
lights, and the heating is effected by
a couple of isolated stoves. A side
erection contains the managers offices,
kitchen, larder and dwelling-rooms.
The total cost Of the construction is
said to have amounted to 1900 marks.

In all ages the egg has been a symbol
of life, and in the east, for thousands
Of years, the use of the egg at the
spring festival, to symbolic the res
direction Of nature, has been known.
Its employment among the early Chris
tians was probably borrowed from the
Roman practices prevalent at that
time Of sending colored eggs as pres
ents during the spring festival. 1t was
condemned as pagan custom by the
Christian clergy in A. D. S21, and again
in A. d. 416, but could not, apparently,
be suppressed, so was permitted, new
symbolic meaning, that of the resur-
rection Of Christ, being given to It.

Up at the works of the Gas Engine
and Power company at Morris Heights
they are building seVenty-six foot
naphtha boat for T. Adolph Molten
hauer of Brooklyn that is a yacht in
every sense of the word. The use of
naptha as a motive power always sug-
gests that the craft which it drives
must be a launch but when that boat
is seventy-six feet long and has twin
screws it surely has right to the more
pretentious title. The interior arrange
ments of the new craft, which is we'll
in hand, are very comfortable, the alb
scence of coal bunkers and all the other
necessary appurtenances Of steam
yacht giving so much more cabin room.
FOsward of the pilothouse is a clear
deck space of 10 feet. The house itself
is feet 8 inches long and is mahog-
any, handsomely paneled. The main
saloon is finished in ivory and gold.
1t is IA feet inches long, with roomy
lockers and bookcases at either end.
The two engines that propel the boat
occupy a space amidships Of feet 8
inches in length. In the crews quar-
tiers there are three berths, while below
the pilothouse is a cabin fitted with two
berths for the captain and engineer.
The boat is to be schooner rugged and
from mast to mast there is a space Of rs
feet, flush deck, with the exception Of
one skylight.-New York World.
