he changed his mind about marrying.
concluding, as mild substitute, to go

After his death it was found that he
had rolled up his pantaloons above his
knees, so that he would not get gore on
them. This custom was afterward gen.
orally adopted in England.
He was buried by the nuns of Leices-
ter in their chapel, Richmond then sue
ceeding him as king. He was buried in
the usual manner, and large amount
Of obloquy was heaped on him.
That is one advantage of being great.

Tho Perfect Vehicle viii Come Into Us
Slowly but Surely.

INC feHECCS SGnlClC VIII Come Into Use
Slowly but Surely.
A little reflection will convince any
one that the use of motorcycles, OF, in
other words, horselcss carriages will
improve tho roads General Norm of
France is authority for the statement
that the deterioration of common roads,
except that which Is caused by the
weather, Is two-thirds due to the wear
of horses feet and one third due to tho
wheels of vehicles. This being tho case,
it the samo amount as usual continue
to be laid out upon the roads, and the
continual damage decrease two-thirds,
then the amount spent will go to in
creased and permanent improvement,
and the roads will be ''as smooth as
barn floor"
There are many questions to be
solved, many difficulties to be sur
rlounted, before tho unexceptionablo
vehicle appears. 1t was long time be-
fore the difficulties of making sewing
machines. revolvers, repeating rifles,
typewriters and typesettcrs were over
come. Yet, examine theml 1t is all
plain and simple, and not ut all marvel
GUS now, and we can hardly imagine
how any mechanic could spend years of
time studying over such easy problems.
So it will be with tho motorcycles. The
mountains Of difficulty will sink into
molehills, and the ingenuity displayed
will be found to take the form of judi
cious application of ordinary mechanic
al appliances, approved by the final
umpire, the common sense of mankind.
Those who build automobiles must
not permit themselves to think that they
were born with all the carriage makers
lore inherent in them. A man may be
% first class theoretical and practical
mechanic and not be able to make a
good vehicle to run on wheels The per-
feet carriage, as we know it today, is
the aggregate of the years of exhaustive
trial and experiment and the improve
ments on that experience made by 900
men of genius
If the carriage builders bcstow upon
the new carriage all tho art acquired in
building the old, and the motorcycle
men learn the reasons of the convention
alities of the trade and adapt their i'm
provements to them with reference to
the opinions Of those who are not preju-
diced against innovation, they will
both work together in harmony and
with one purpose, and, so united, they
will make rapid progress in the devel-
opment of the inevitable vehicle of tho
future. re.-Cassier' Magazine

MILD SUBSTITUTE FOR SECOND MARRIAGE.
Richard could WELD scepter longer
and harder, it is said, than any other
middleweight monarch known to his
tory. The throne used by Richard is
still in existence and has an aperture
in it containing some very old gin.
The reason this gin was left, it is
said, was that he was suddenly called
away from the throne and never lived
to get back. No monarch should ever
leave his throne in too much of hurry.
Richard made himself very unpopu-
lar in 1885 by his forced loans, as they
were called, a system of assessing a man
after dark with self cooking writ and
what was known as the headache stick,
small weapon which was worn up the
sleeve during the day, and which was
worn behind the ear by the loyal sub
ject after nightfall It was common
sight, so says the historian, to hear the
nightfall and the headache stick fall at
the same time.
The queen died i'll 1885, and Richard
thought some of marrying again, but it

Should Plays lie Printede

Moliere objected to tho printing Of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted on the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
the closet 1t was also inferred that
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Moliere, seeing how indifferent he
was as to the fate Of his plays so long us
they were popular Oh the stage. There
is also the explicit declaration Of Hey
wood i'll the following terms:
"It hath been no custom in me of all
other men courteous readers) to COM
NIT my plays to the press. Tho reason,
though some may attribute to my own
insufficiency, I had rather subscribe in
that to their severe censure than by
seeking to avoid the imputation Of weak
ness to incur greater suspicion Of hon
esty, for, though some have used dou-
BILE sale of their labors first to the stage
and after to the press, here proclaim
myself ever faithful to the first and
never guilty of the last"
The author of the most successful
comedy of modern times exhibited the
same indifference to, or rather dislike
Of, the printer. When 1.-THE School For
Scandal" met with so brilliant reccp-
ton, from its first appearance on May
s, l777, Ridgway, the publisher, agreed
with Sheridan as to its publication, but
he never succeeded in getting the manu-
script. He applied to the author in vain,
and at length got an answer. Sheridan
said that he had been 10 years endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself with the style Of
the play, but had not yet succeeded.
The printing of the play was done in-
dependently of the author. He presented
q manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin, to be
disposed Of for her own advantage to tho
managers Of the Dublin theater This
brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the
manuscript thus procured that the Dub
lin edition was printed. Notes and

The Sharp Lord Tenterden.

The story of Charles Abbot has been
often told-the scrubby little boy who,
failing to become a chorister, ran after
his father through the streets of Canter-
bury carrying pewter basin, a case of
razors and bag Of hair powder. The
unpretentious dwelling whence the pair
emerged was situated in a narrow street
opposite the stately west portal of the
cathedral, and its owner, who shaved
for a penny and cut hair for twopence,
boasted that he had thrice prepared his
grace the archbishop to deliver his trien-
nial charge to the clergy of the diocese.
A good story is told of Lord Tenter
den, as this disappointed little choir
boy became, having one day at his own
table asked county magistrate If he
would tako venison. "Thank you, my
lord, boiled chicken" was tho reply.
His lordship had contracted an inyet-
crate habit Of keeping himself and every
body else to the precise matter in hand.
"That, SIR" said the judge, "is no an
swer to my question. l now ask you
again if you will take venison, and
will trouble you to say yes or no with
out further prevarication.
Tenterden was habitually down on
witnesses, and on one occasion told the
chairman of the East India company,
whom he had failed to recognize as he
entered the box, "to hold up his head
and speak out like man. The ruling
passion is sometimes strong in death,
and just "ere the weary pulse of life at
last stood still' Lord Tenterden was
heard to murmur to himself:
"And now, gentlemen Of the jury, /
leave you to consider of your verdict.
