In old Elm City, from east to west,
You cannot find a place to rest,
Or get refreshments of the best,
LIKE FERRY'S,
No Bread is baked so fine and white,
No Biscuits are so pure and light,
No fancy Cakes give such delight,
AS FERRY'S
No place can give you-so it's said
FOUR wholesome loaves Homemade
Bread.
For just quarter dollar dead"
LIKE FERRY'S.
The Ice Cream Soda's sure to cheer,
And Of the Root Beer have no fear,
The Extracts are all pure and clear,
AT FERRY'S.
All decent folks, of common sense,
Know FERRY'S lunch is just immense,
Likewise the Dinner for 80 cents,
AT FERRY'S.
Good folks who come to town to shop,
Into this cosy place all drop,
Because they know it pays to stop

CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.

How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
Were Furnished.

but the fashion of strewing the apart
ments with rushes was being gradually
abandoned, Rushes were still used in
the retainers' hall, but for the better
rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant
twigs were usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
were apertures filled with glass so as
to admit light. but to exclude wind. The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents of
air that penetrated the strong but bad
ly built walls. We learn from various
ancient documents that it was the duty
OF the serving men and pages to sweep
out the principal apartments, but as the
use of water is rarely mentioned, damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust, but also toward refreshing the at
mosphere in such costantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
| battlements or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how seant-
| ily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundantly supplied with flagons and
drinking cups in gold, silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number of black jacks or cups made Of
leather

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds 1t Msghtier
Than the Sword.


Than the Sword.
The affection of the collector for the
objects of his zeal has been amusingly
illustrated by story told of Melingue,
d French tragedian who had mania
for gathering together great quantities
of old vestments, arms and similar an
tiaue apparatus. Among his treasures
was a beautiful and keen-edged sword
which had belonged to Philip H., son OF
Emperor Charles Y.
Having worn this sword in piece in
which he was performing, Melingue
was making his way homeward in Paris
one night The weather was rainy, and
he carried an umbrella, Under his
cloak he bore the precious sword OF
Philip II.
Coming, around a corner, Mellngue
was suddenly menaced by two sneak
! thieves. He was an expert fencer, and
| knew that with the sword he could
quickly beat the rascals off. But he
said to himself;
What! Betray to these rascals that
1 have such a precious possession No!
They might be too much for me, atteI
all, and then they would get it. Twill
keep it out of sight"
So saying, he placed his left hand OF
the hilt OF the sword inside his cloak
and with the other hand let down hi
umbrella. With this as weapon, h
assaulted the footpads with such fore
and spirit that he put them to flight.
In this case the umbrella turned on
TO he miehtier than the sword.

Bat In This Case New Heroine Was

Young story-writers are apt to begin
a literary career by telling, in some form
or other, the story which follows. But
it must have taken real genius to make
a cow the heroine. This particular story
is attributed by the Philadelphia Times.

The engineer was running his train
at full speed, when, he says, his atten-
ton was attracted by COW which
seemed to be coming straightdown the
track to meet the train. He put his
hand on the valve and puffed out three
sharp whistles.
Still the COW came on, believing at
every step, and acting altogether in an
unusual manner AS much from curl
osity as anything else. the engineer
slowed up and sent the firemanaheadsto

that the fireman was going TO invesfi.

back down the track, stopping now and
then, looking over her shoulder and
switching her tail as much as to say
Come on"
The man followed, and by and by saw
the COW stop short at high trestle
Going up, he discovered another COW
which had got herself fastened in tn,
trestlework squarely across the rail.
