Quick and Witty

Lord Young is said to be one Of the
ablest Scotchmen on the bench or at
the bar. At least, he has a ready
tongue. One day in September he was
driving into town from his place in the
country when he met an acquaintance.
'Hallow said the latter, "what are
you doing here? / thought all respect
able people were out Of town."
"Well," said the other, shave you
seen anything to make you alter your
opinion? / haven't"
At the time of the general election OF
1892, he was visiting at Dalmeny
House, and the report came that Lord
Wolmer, now the Earl Of Selborne, had
been returned for the Western Division
by a majority Of three, over Mr.. I. R.
Buchanan. Soon after some one came
In and said that Lord - and Lord
- had voted for Wolmer.
"Ah," said Young, 'that accounts for
the two ciphers."

A scotchman from China.

In New Zealand and Tasmania
Scotchmen abound, and in some dis
tricts they are in a majority. Scotch
men are famous for their good opinion
Of their own race, and it is charged
that where they are in the majority,
few but Scotchmen enjoy any public
privileges.
At Otago, in New Zealand, a contract
for mending road was lately to be let
and bids were advertised for. The most
acceptable Of the bids received was
signed MCPHERSON" in a queer hand.
Notice was sent to Mr.. Mcpherson to
complete the contract, and great was
the astonishment when, in answer 10
the notice, one of the numerous China
men Of Otago appeared in all the glory
Of yellow tunic and pigtail.

ture 10 to have them retain their leaves
healthy as long rs possible. II the
plants lose their leaves early the bloom
will be small Sometimes the lighter
leaves are attacked by parasite fun
gus which causes them to drop of
early. On the first appearance Of the
pasasite the leaves should be syringed
with copper sulphate solution. Some
times these attacks are encouraged by
allowing the leaves to become weak
for want of good food, for, although 1t
is not impossible for fungus parasite
to attack healthy vegetation, 1t Is also
true that they attach themselves more
readily when the plant is weak. Man.
ure water, or surface dressing of
manure, is the precaution to be taken
against this result. Again, leaves are
frequently weakened by allowing the
plants to become too dry. Careful
cultivators can easily guard against
this. On the other hand, stagnant wa
ter in the earth is also Injurious. This
means that, to have healthy plants, the
pots or boxes in which they are grown
should be so arranged that the water
can pass readily away.-Meehan's

A MODERN FABLE.
A fable old for a modern rhyme,

A fable old for a modern rhyme,
Take or leave, as you've wish or time.
A tender vine in forest grew,
Putting out tendrils, two by two.
She crept to the oak so tall and green,
And sighed: MAY on thy bosom lean?
THE voice that quickened the soul in me
Said l was only a part Of thee.
"And was never alone to stand,
Or sink deep roots in the motherland.
"A creature Of light, of love, Of air,
I should have no part in the rude world
care.
But over thy breast, austere and old,
My warmth and beauty should enfold,
while thine to shield me from all alarms,
And daunt the storms with thy mighty
arms"
But the oak replied: "To me, it seems
You are much inclined to idle dreams.
Folks seem to think can work and work
Just to let you hang around and shirk.
'T'll let you love me; I'll hear your song,
But you must hustle and help along"
And the little vine replied: "I'll try"
But her leaves dropped low; she had to
sigh.
And deeper, deeper, without moan,
She braced her roots and she stood alone.
The wind blew hard, and, unhelped, at
last
She loosed her hold and she faced the
blast.
Then cried the oak: "Alnck, alas,
That such thing should come to pass!
'"The vine has from my shelter fed
And daunts a wicked, saucy head"
But then, complaining soft and low,
She blushed: II did not wish to 90.
II stand alone, you know, trust,
Not cause would, but cause must"

From tho Sea.

In 1888 the surface Of Holland GOV.
cred an area Of no more than S,76s
square miles. BY October 20, 1877, at
the conclusion of q survey, 1t was
found that 80 vast q quantity Of land
had during those forty-four years been
recovered from the sea that the area
had increased to 1871 square miles.
The Dutch have for some time been
considering a project for draining the
Zuyder Zee. 1t Is proposed to reclaim
from the sea about 100000 acres, the
value Of which Is estimated at 326, ,000,-
900 guilders. The cost Of this import.
ant work is estimated at $4,000, 900
guihers, or, with the accumulated ex-
penditure, including measures Of de.
fense and payment Of compensation to
the fishermen Of the Zee, ct 316, ,000, 900
guilders. II was stated In 1869 that the
work would take thirty-one years, and
that every year 10000 hectares Of land
would be restored to cultivation. Part
Of the scheme suggested large dyke
thirty miles in length, from the ex-
treme end of North Holland 10 the
western coast of Friesland. This dyke,
80 meters at the base and 9 meters
high, would take nine years to build.

Saved Gront from CAPTURE,

Thomas Jefferson Sapplngton, an
old-tlme resident Of st. Louis County,
who saved General Grant from capture
by the Confederates, was buried recent
ly near Sappington, suburb near st.
Louis, Mo.
In 1864, when General Grant came
back to make short visit to his farm,
Mr.. Sappington, who was first lieu
tenant in the Second Missouri militia,
learned that number Of the most rad
ical sympathizers with the South had
planned to capture General Grant and
take him South prisoner.
Mr.. Sappington determined to thwart
the scheme. He hurried to st. Louis
and met General Grant just as he was
starting out for his farm. The result
was disappointment to the men who

just keep an eye on the portfolio over
the top Of the lower berth.
Suddenly, as glanced up at the port

long, thin, hairy arm thrust in through
the opening. The next moment a
small black hand had fastened upon a
leather case lying close to the window,

sprang down the saloon stairs, rum

The Brazilian had moved away a 1T

began deliberately to crack the nuts.

small, cleaning eyes fixed greedily on

1t was enough. My suspicious were
confirmed. The moment I laid my
hands upon him heard a vicious snarl
under his cape; 1t was pulled suddenly
aside, and out few a monkey.
When searched, Mrs. Melhurst's dia-
monds, Mr.. Carter's cigarette case and
rings, and a miscellaneous collection Of
other valuables were found on him. In
his stateroom we discovered a perfor-
ated box, apparently intended for the
use Of the monkey, who was evident

You Have Waited for This,

There are many people who would be
glad to abandon the habit of drinking
coffee IL they could only find substi-
tute for 1t. That substitute is Grain-O,
made from pure grains and beverage
in every way preferable to coffee.
Grain-O is not q stimulant-it is some
thing better. it is cheering, nutritious
and strengthening. In other words 1t
is q food-drink, as coffee Is not. 1t is
acceptable to the most delicate stom-
ach, and agrees with confirmed dyspep-
tics. Unlike coffee Grain-O produces
no nervous action. 1t never interferes
with sleep. As for the favor Of Grain-O,
people who use 1t say that after using
It a week or two they like its taste bet
ter than that OF coffee. Grain-O is sold
by all grocers ut 15c. and 25c. per pack

ORIGIN OF TABLE UTENSILS.

Even During the Middle Ages People
Ate with Their Fingers.
The use Of the fork dates back only
to the seventeenth century. The old
Greeks, although their civilization was
much advanced, ate with their fingers,
as gracefully as possible. Plutarch
mentions the rules to be followed when
eating with the fingers, and this is one
Of the most interesting passages in bis
description Of antique customs. In the
middle ages people still ate with their
fingers. 1t is true enough that ablu-
tions took place before and after a
meal, but, still, that custom was any
thing but clean. Each Of the guests at
a dinner was first offered basin and a
pitcher Of water, and It was bad form
to help ones self to any Of the viands
before having carefully washed hands
and face.
Goldsmiths finally invented forks, but
at first they were objects Of luxury,
and were used only at times when they
might Just as well have been done with
out. The first mention Of forks is made
In a document dated 1900, which says
that Pierre Gaveston, the favorite Of
Edward H., possessed three "furches-
ties" forks for eating pears, cheese
anu sandwiches. 1t was more than 300
years later before forks were used for
fish and meat.
About the second decade Of the sew
enteenth century picture Of the Royal
Prince Of France shows that he carried
case containing kuife, spoon and
what looks very much like fork.
Glasses and drinking cups were first
first made Of wood or tin. In the If
teenth century Venice manufactured
the wonderful glassware which re-
placed on the table Of the "Siegneurs"
the heavy oaken or metal cups formerly
used. Egg cups were not known pre-
vious to the fifteenth century, and even
in the sixteenth century they were rath-
er scarce and had no distinct name.
They were described as ian article IN
which to place and hold an egg" or "a
silver thing to place IN egg In"
Salt cellars also date from the fif-
teenth century. Goldsmiths excelled
in making artistic salt cellars, and the
one modelled for King Francis l. Of
France by Benvenuto Cellini was a
wonderful work Of art. People in gen.
eral did not know the use Of salt cellars
and even among wealthy families It
was the custom to break piece Of
bread and to place the salt for each
individual upon the bread.-Ph!ladel-

Gen. Grant,s CHARACTERISTICS.

He was possessed Of moral and ply.
sical courage which was equal to every
emergency in which he was placed He
was calm amid excitement, patient un
der trials, sure in judgment, clear in
foresight, never depressed by reverses
or unduly elated by success. He was
fruitful In expedients, and had facil
ity Of resource and faculty Of adapt
ing the means at hand to the accom-.
plishment Of an end which never failed
him. He possessed an intuitive knowl.
edge Of topography, which prevented
him from ever becoming confused as
to locality or direction In conducting
even the most complicated movements
in the field. His singular self-reliance
enabled him at critical junctures to de-
eide Instantly questions Of vital mo-
. ment without dangerous delay in seek
Ing advice from others, and to assume
the gravest responsibilities without
asking any one to share them.
His habits Of life were simple, and
he enjoyed physical constitution
which enabled him to endure every
form Of fatigue and privation incident
to military service in the field. His
soldiers always knew that he was ready
to rough 1t with them, and share their
hardshIps on the march. He wore no
better clothes than they, ana often ate
no better food There was nothing In
his manner to suggest that there was
any gulf between him and the men
who were winning his victories. He
never tired Of giving unstlnted praise
to his subordinates. He was at all
times loyal to them. His fidelity pro-
duced reciprocal effect, and is one Of
the chief reasons why they became so
Loyalty attached to him. He was never
betrayed by success into boasting Of
his triumphs. He never underrated
himself in a battle; he never overrated
himself In report.-"Campaigning
