willing to Pay.

Among the prettiest of literary anec-
Totes is that related by William Grimm,
one of the pair of famous story-tellers.
One day little girl rang the bell, and
greeted the author with the words:
Are you Mr.. Grimm who writes the
pretty tales?"
YES" was the answer II and my
brother"
"And the story about that clever lit
tie tailor who married the princess?"
Eyes, certainly"
We'll" said the child, gravely pro-
ducing the book, cit says here that ev-
cry one who doesn't believe the story
must pay a thaler. Now, l don't believe
that a princess ever married a tailor.
haven't so much as thaler, but here
is a groschen. and please say / hope to
pay the rest by degrees" Just then
Jacob Grimm appeared, and the two
brothers had an interesting interview
with the little maid, but they could not
persuade her to take away the gros-
chen. which she laid upon the table

Unchristian Names.

1t is curios how inconsistent are the
prejudices of people in regard to the
use of heather names. Mr. Payn, in
his CLEANS OF Memory" tells an anus
ing story of the late Dean Burgon, who
objected to the name of the goddess of
beauty, but found no fault with that
Of the sod of the woods. An infant
was brought to the church for christ
ening, and the name proposed for it
was "Vanus." "Vanus?" repeated the
dean. II suppose you mean Venus. Do
you imagine l am going to call a
Christian child by that name, and least
of all male child!' The father of the
infant urged that he only wished to
name it after his grandfather. Your
grandfather! cried the dean. Il don't
believe it. Where is your grandfather"
He was produced; poor old soul of 80
or so, bent double, and certainly not
looking in the least like the goddess
in question. "Do you mean to tell me,
sir, that any clergyman ever christened
you 'vanus,' as you call it?"
We'll, no, sir; was christened Syl-
vanus, but they always calls me Van
US"

Coachmen and the Church

The private secretary of the late
Archbishop Benson, Mr.. Vaudeville B..
Phillips, recalls, in the January Sun
day Magazine, couple of good stories
which the primate used to tell. One
day clergyman who called at the pal
ace asked Archbishop Tait's coachman
whether he had still as much to do as
ever. The answer was sublime
There's always a goodish bit doing,
sir, but it's been a trifle easier since
we took young Mr.. Parry into the bus
Iness.' Right Rev. Edward Parry
had recently been appointed Bishop
Suffragan of Dover. Another of the
Archbishop's stories, also of a coach
man, will be new to many. A gentle
man living in the neighborhood of Adj
dington, finding that the stablemen
were not in the habit of attending
church, spoke to his coachman about
it. They ought to CO." he said.
That's just what l say myself" was
the rejoinder; 81 say to them: look at
me- go, and what harm does it do
me?"

The Richest Prince.

The richest prince Is not always he
that reigns over the most extensive and
populous empire, with the largest and
most prosperous cities, and the best
filed treasure-house.
Back in the middle ages there reigned
a prince. called Eberhard the Good, who
was a grand old man, just, wise and
true. and his little principally was the
enyied corner of Europe. For though
he was only grand duke, he ruled SO
Justly and we'll that his subjects were
happy and they all loved him as a
father.
There was a feast one day at the city
of Worms, andsall the German princes
were drinking wine at the banquet
table. when a dispute arose as to which
OF them was the richest and most pros
perous. Prince Ernest of Saxony
boasted of broad domains, trimming
with gold and silver mines, and his
great palace filed with golden treas
ure. 81 am richer than he" said the
Elector Frederick of the Rhine. From
my grand castle at Heidelberg I can
look over leagues and leagues of hill

Night Air.

In summer, when the rays of the sun
fall almost vertically upon the earth's
surface, the gradual fall in the tenn
perature of night comes as welcome
relief from the heat of the day.
During the rest of the year the suns
rays strike the earth more obliquely,
and are sufficient to warm on a thin
crust at the surface, which oses its
heat rapidly after the sun has set and
the temperature of the air falls abrupt
ly. Under these conditions night air
may become source of danger. The
sudden change in temperature calls for
extra protection for the body, and one
should never think of setting out on
even a short journey without extra
wraps. Except in severe weather it
is not necessary to care so much for
the extremities, as the circulation Of
the blood is maintained in these parts
by their constant motion. But the
chest, as the seat of the bulk of the
blood and the vitality Of the body,
should be protected from chill. The
so-called chest protectors are useful;
but nothing is simpler than to habit
uate ones self to wearing wooden I'M
derclothing, suiting the weight to the
season of the year. Wool is poor
conductor of heat, and when worn
next the skin absorbs the perspiration
and prevents the rapid loss Of the body
heat. Moreover, when the temperature
falls suddenly at night, the moisture
present in the air is condensed and
falls to the ground in the form of dew.
The dampness and chill form an addi-
tional source of danger, against which
it is necessary to guard, especially in
the matter of footwear. Thicker shoes
and warm, dry stockings should be
worn. The direct rays of the sun kill
many of the microbes that are the spe-
cific causes of disease. Consequently
night is the favorite time for the evil
gnomes of disease to collect their forces
and make the plan of attack against
mankind. Powerless against the
warm, bright rays of the sun, they sue
cumb in the unequal contest; but at
nights aided by the slight dampness,
they rise from their hiding places and
are borne away by the constantly shift
ing currents of air upon their errands
of sickness and death. Though this
may seem to be more or less fanciful,
the study of the origin and life of the
various germs Of disease has proved
that the idea embodies truth, and
that night air is favorable to their
pagation.-Youths Companion.

sides covered with vineyards and val
legs rich with golden grain fields"
King Louis of Bavaria claimed the palm
of sovereignty, because" he said,
prosperous cities and rich old clois-
tiers, filled with works of art, are great
er treasures than gold or silver mines,
vineyards or ripened grain fields"
Then they all looked at the old lord OF
Wurtemburg, whose hair and beard
were white as the snow on Alpine
peaks, and whose blue eyes we're shin
ing with smile. II have little to boast
Of" he said, meekly. There are but
few cities in Wurtemburg, and no sill
yer mines, no famous vineyards, and
no great store of treasure and precious
stones. But / own one rare Jewell

without fear and lay my old head in
peaceful slumber in the cot of my hum
blest subject" 1T is enough" they
cried in chorus; 1--WE yield the palm to
thee, for there are no richer treasures
than peoples love and loyalty" Duke
Eberhard was one of the great heroes
of the feudal times. His little country
of Wurtemburg was one Of the most
prosperous in Europe, and the proud
est kings counted him their equal.
When he was laid in his grave the
Emperor Macmillan Of Germany de-
clared:
Here lies a prince who has left no
equal in the German empire in prince
ly virtues"
Nor has time been able to blot out
his fair name, and though half thou
sand years have passed away, divid-
ing the living from the dead, it is al
ways pleasant and refreshing when
we look back upon those times to find
the name of him they called the Rich
est Prince.

A German Joke.

The Germans have an odd character,
a certain baron, who is made response
BILE for many absurd and ludicrous
things. Whenever anything particu-
larly striped for whimsical happens it
is straightway attributed to the bar
on. Consequently, many amusing
stories are related of the baron, just as
in this country all kinds of mistakes
have been heaped upon the shoulders
of the late Mr.. Stetson, the theatrical
man. At one time the baron went to
Venice, and seeing the pigeons on st.
Mark paused in wonder and began to
count them. He was getting on nicely
with his calculation when some one
tapped him on the shoulder.
Here, you." said the stern-faced bril-
gand, ARE you counting those
pigeons"
81 was" replied the baron humbly.
every we'll, you have to pay me one
Ira for every pigeon you counted"
eff that is the law, here are forty
lire" responded the baron, counting
out the money.
The brigand looked over it carefully
and took his departure. Then the bar
on became convulsed with merriment
and shook his fists boisterously after
the retreating figure.
Fool! Idiotw he exclaimed. II
gave you forty lire, and counted 16O
pigeons. Detroit Free Press.

He Was just Wondering.

A small boy in Alameda found a
lovely sand heap in front Of his fathers
house the other morning and he built
roads and houses until he was tired of
playing in the dry sand. Then he car
ried a bucket of water and mixed up a
beautiful mud puddle. 1t was warm
day, and the wet sand appeared so cool
and soft that he sat down in it.
The boys mother happened to be
brushing her hair at that moment, and,
glancing out Of the window, observed
him cooling himself. She led him
around to the woodshed by the ear, and
found she would have to remove his
clothes before she could take him into
the house.
ut seems as if Providence had de-
signed it," she unused as she glanced
at the half naked boy and the hair
brush, so she proceeded to bring the
two together in vigorous style. Then
she took him in, put clean pair Of
trousers on him, and made him sit on
a chair. He did not cry, but sat scowl-
ing defiantly.
"Now, look here, Frankie" said his
mother, II don't want you to sit there
and sulk. 1 don't like to punish you,
but I had to do it."
"'Taint that" he replied promptly.
IT was just wondering if women that
lick their little boys with hair brushes

A MISSED KISS.
The Reason why Two Ambassadors Lost
Their Places.

Their Places.
Two ambassadors have lost their
places through their failure to take
advantage afforded them to kiss the
hand of the czarina, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer Count Montebello,
the French ambassador, lost his place.
1t is not made known whether he only
obeyed orders or not, but he had to
suffer the penalty. 1t was very unfor-
tunate for him that when the French
people through their government had
undertaken to show their friendship
for Russia by most lavish display
or ostentatious ceremony and the ex-
penditure of many millions of dollars,
the entire effect should be lost by the
failure of the chief functionary to
press his lips to the imperial hand.
The other ambassador who lost his po-
sition is Prince Radalin, the represent
alive at the Russian court Of the Ger
man empire. No reason is given for
his omission to observe a customary
act OF homage. He had not the excuse
OF being the minister from republic.
He represented a court where such
ceremonies are strictly observed and
an imperial master who is as strict in
requiring observance of court etiquette
as the Russian emperor. These pun
ishments should be a warning to all
men never to lose a favorable oppor-
tunity to kiss lady's hand. Many a
man has lived to regret that he has
not seized a suitable occasion to snatch
a kiss; there seems to be more danger
in being too remiss than in being too
bold. Where the danger lies and how
great it will be either in abstaining or
acting is a matter for individual judg-
ment. But it is sometimes worth risk
ing, it would seem.
