think that this droll fellow would be a
great success to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted; and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and a great deal of
money. Everybody went TO see this
witty buffoon and all were delighted.
This example led to the establish
ment of dron or buffoon in all com
panies of comedians; and he was al
ways called after the original one,
whose name was Pucco d'Aniello. This
was, in the course of time, softened into
Polecenello; the French made it Po-
lichenel, and the English Punchinello.
After time the English, for the sake
of brevity, left OFF the latter part Of the
word, and called it plain Punch.
Hoy Judy originated, history does
not record; but it is very easy to sur
mise her story. Such merry fellow as
Punch had as good right to wife as
anybody, if he could get one. Why not?
One might think that his beet-like nose
would have stood in his way of finding
woman willing to marry him; but his
wit was an offset to this. Women are
fond of wit, and Punch would have
played his part i'll if he could not have
made it cover his nose.
Now that we have supposed Punch to
have had wife, and also supposed her
name to have been Judy, what was
more natural than for this amiable
couple, now and then, to have bit of a
breeze? They lived wandering life,
and, like other people in their station,
took d little liquor TO raise their spir-
its. After the effect was over, feelings
little peevish, they fell to calling each
other names, and hard blows followed.
So this is their whole history.-Detroit
Free Press.

HE HANGED HIMSELF.
How Connecticut's Automatic Gallows
Operates Itself.

While Ohio is experimenting with the
electric chair Connecticut recently
hanged a criminal with her automatic
gallows. By it the victim is jerked into
the air at the end of a rope, and then
drops. There are thus two chances that
the neck will be broken and death made
sure. The condemned man steps upon
a platform, raised an eighth of an inch
from the floor. Instantly the platform
begins to settle, and sets in motion
lever, which releases a sliding valve
ct the bottom of cylinder containing
so pounds of shot.
Like the sands in an hour glass the
shot runs out of an opening in the
cylinder. This allows plunger to drop

TALMAGE On MARRIAGE.
The Famous Preachers Idea of the
Ideal Wife"
Every Person, He Says. Has an Affinity
Somewhere in the World-Man Who
Marries q Fool Nowadays
Is InexcusRble.

Rev. T. De Witt TaImage has not at
all been afraid to express hiT views OIL
marriage and all that pertains to that
relation. Although the report of con-
templated third marriage has been Diet
MED, DR.. Talmage's advice on the
choice of Wife gains particular
weight from his own matrimonial
knowledge.
A number of DIR. Talmage's sermons
on matrimonial subjects have been put
between covers By DR.. Louis Klopsch,
of the Christian Herald, for circulation
at this time under the title of "TheI
Wedding Ring"
The first subject discussed is the
choice of wife. DR.. Talmage says:
"EXcuseless is any man in our time
who makes lifelong alliance with one
who, because of her disposition, or
heredity, or habits, or intellectual vail
ity, or moral classification, may be said
TO be Of the Philistines. The world
he declares, never owned such opulence
of w"uIanly character, or such splen-
dor Of womanly manners, or multi
tudinous instances of wifely, motherly,
daughterly or sisterly devotion as it
owns to-day. Woman is not only man S
equal, but in affectional and religious
nature, which is the best part of us,
she is rs per cent. his superior"
DIR. Talmage further scores man and
deifes woman by adding that at the
rate woman is advancing in superiority
the majority of men will have diff
Guilty in finding in the opposite sex
enough ignorance TO make appropriate
consort." He declares that amid al
the unparalleled magnificence of WON

PUNCH AND JUDY.
The Origin of This Ever Popular Enter
tainment.

The Origin OF This Ever Popular Enter
tainment.
Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics of
Punch and Judy, and the mimic the
alter in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement to both
young and old. The origin of this al
ways attractive entertainment is not
English, as many who have enjoyed it
may suppose, but according to an old
book, Punch and Judy are of italian
ancestry. In the district of Acezza,
near Naples, the people are very much
addicted to the making of wine from
grapes; and it is curious that from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago in the season of the
vintage, which is a time when every
body seems to be full of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along
through Acezza. They began to poke
fun at the vintagers, and in war of wit
the players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagers
a fellow with an enormous red nose,
long and crooked Ike q powder horn;
and he was the very drollest ann wit
test of the whole company. The play
crs were so tickled with his witty say
ings, all set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
