toon," a pair of stockings for him. On
the following pay Saturday the pitman
entered the shop Of well known
hosier to make the purchase.
The shopman was most obliging. but
having shown the intending purchaser
nearly every pair il stock he at last
thought it time to ask of the man q
more minute description Of what was
required.
He said he had shown nearly ali they
had, and he was sure their shop was
second to none, and as they had hither-
to given satisfaction to ali classes it
was strange that they could not now
suit customer. The pitman laconically
replied, What want is pair O bow

Enrenis,s First Ancestor.

1t is not generally known that EN-
press Eugene was partly all Irish wom-
an. Yet upon oneside she was descended
from all Irish soldier of fortune-there
were any amount of them-who made a
name and place for himself il the in
terminable Spanish wars. When there
was talk of her marrying the Emperor
Napoleon, some of the old nobility
sneered at her pedigree. Then came
heralds tracing out Irish blood lines
until the French authorities in disgust
conceded that Eugene was descended
from all tho royalties Of Ireland back to
Brian Boru.
