Antlfat MT. Banting's Joke.

The late George Won Bunsen, the ac-
complished and delightful son of the
baroness whose Life and Letters" are
well known in America, once told me
an anecdote of the late Princess Mary
of Teck and the celebrated Banting.
The princess became, in her middle life,
enormously stout, and finding her
weight burden tried several methods
of reducing it. AT last, having heard
much of Banting, she sent for him. She
was surprised to see that he was still
extremely bulky, and after a few civil
preparatory remarks she said, "But
your system has not made you very thin,
Mr.. Banting.
"Allow me, madam" said Banting.
And proceeding to unbutton his coat
he disclosed large wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside was
the real Banting, incased in another
coat.
"This, madam" said he, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, twas my size before / commenced
dieting" He then nimbly disembarrass
ed himself of his framework and stood
before the royal lady exhibiting his ele-
CANT figure.
Apparently the interview led to moth
ing but amusement, for the good Ouch
ess of Teck remained very stout to the
end Of her days.--Exchange.

TOSSED BY THE HURRICANE.
The Shorn "Colonel" and the Wrecked
"Captain" Dine Together.

Two men who had been chums in a
western town before financial hurri-
cane hit it met for the first time in
years in a Sixth avenue eating house
the other day. In the days Of their pros
perity one of them was political lever
and was called colonel. He had been on
the governors staff. The other in some
way had acquired the title of captain.
Both had front seats in every event Of
the town in which they had lived. The
governors ornament is now a plain
bookkeeper in Broad street. The other
man is dry goods clerk.
After greetings, explanations and
few mournful references to persisted de-
lights, they had combination meal, and
If you don't know what that is you have
never had any trouble, and any one who
casts shadow is worse than heather.
When the meal was over, the two old
friends walked out and stood for few
minutes under the splutter of an arc
light. AS they were parting the man
who used to ride the big bay horse in
the governors parade, and who had
commanded the populace of his town to
stand back, said in low, mournerlike
tone:
eff you come to see me, don't call
me colonel. Nobody knows me as colo
mel now. 1 am just an employee ON a
salary"
The arc light spluttered again as the
little man replied in a squeaky, hall
bedroom voice:
"And if you come to see me just call
me, Say, youP That's what verybody
calls me in the store"
"Well, goodby, captain.
$50 long, colonel"
1t was the first time they had heard
the titles in years and each walked
away with lighter step and lighter
heart. New York Sun.

DUTIES OF CHRISTIAN LIFE,
No Virtue In Ones Daily Actions Unless
1t Is Established In the Soul.

No Virtue In Ones Daily Actions Unless
It Is Established In the Soul.
"The obligations and duties Of the
Christian life are not all external"
writes Cardinal Gibbons, pointing out q
religious life to young men, in The La
dies Home Journal. "They are mainly
material and must proceed from the
heart. There is no virtue in ones daily
actions unless it be first established in
the soul and is only an external express
sion Of the SOULS convictions or prolon-
cation of heartfelt sentiments. Yet the
external practice of Christian virtues
and the performance of Christian duties
pertain to the integrity, if not to the es-
sential character, of the Christian life.
The interior sentiments soon perish
without external expression, as life and
bodily powers become extinct without
due and proper exercise or employment.
However, as the external duties are
not absolutely and under all oircum-
stances essential, they vary both in
number and frequency according to en-
vironments and opportunities. A bust
ness man cannot do all that a clergy
man is expected to do, man in trade
not what man in leisure can accom-
plish nor a man of the world all that is
possible and easy to one who keeps him
self from society. But ALL no matter
where, no matter what their engage
ments and secular pursuits, how little
or how much time they can call their
own, can and are obliged to perform
daily acts of prayer and religion and
accomplish many duties of virtue and
charity. There is no condition of life
which is incompatible with the dictates
and principles and precepts of the
Christian life. -

AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting of Forests Likely TO BE an
Important Industry.

Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting of American
forests will become productive indus
try. Preservation of old forests, with
their masses Of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections Of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
immense masses Of firewood undoubted-
ly TEND TO collect snow, which, by its
gradual melting, furnishes a supply 10
the water reservoirs beneath the surface
of the ground. Snow thaws less quickly
under the shade of trees than in the
bright sunlight. Less water, therefore,
runs to supply floods and freshets than
when the snow is made to pass away
gradually But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests.
In old forests, where there is strug-
gle for life among the trees by reason
of their growing so thNkly together,
the result is the necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
a size to make them desirable for tim
Der purposes. Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 90 or 80 years. and for
many other purposes they can be en-
ployed even younger. 1t takes well ON
to century for the struggling trees in
dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad
ually scarcer on account of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated the demand is increasing,
and, what is more remarkable, Europe
is already calling on America for a sup
ply of lumber. American oak especially
is in great demand in the old world,
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in its wake. Our lighter woods
also-such as the tulip tree and poplar
ARE coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and cases where light
weight is great object. Those who are
interested in forestry in our country
should take up the matter Of encourage
ment of forest planting. 1t will soon be
a greater question than forest preserva-
ton. -Meehan' Monthly.

wanamaker Turned Bricks.

The early days of John Wanamaker
were not easy by any means. When only
a lad of years, he made bricks, or, rath-
err. assisted in making them, for his bust
ness was to turn them in the sun until
they were evenly baked. For this labor
he received 2 cents day and sometimes
cleared 10 cents a week, but it must be
remembered that there were many rainy
days when the force of youthful work
men" had to be laid off. Johns first
real rise to fortune was in the days
when, as Office boy, he saved money
enough to start in business for himself
He worked as assistant in the office I'M
ill he had climbed up to 20 a week, and
then, seeing that he could get no more,
he bought little stock Of cheap furni'
ture and started in to be merchant.

A Mexican Custom on Good Friday.

Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson contributes to
The Century an article on ''Maximil-
ian's Empire, one of a series devoted
to the French intervention in Mexico.
In describing the scenes that followed
the siege of Puebla Mrs. Stevenson says:
1t was Mexican custom ON Good
Friday to burn Judas in ef1igy on the
Plaza Mayor. Judas was manikin
made in the shape of the person who
happened to be most unpopular at the
time. 1t was quite admissible to burn
Judas under different shapes, and some
times these summary autos-da-f were
multiplied to suit the occasion and the
temper of the people. AT the same time
rattles were sold ON the streets and uni.
versally bought alike by children and
adults, by rich and poor, to grind tho
bones of Judas, and the Objectionable
noise-second in hideousness only to
that of our own sending off of firecrack-
ers on the Fourth of July-was reli-
giously kept up all day. In the year Of
our Lord 1868 Judas was burned in
Mexico ON the Plaza Mayor under the
shapes of General Forey, Napoleon III.
and last, but not least M. Dubois de
Saligny, who especially was roasted
with will amid the wild excavations
of the populace.

ANCIENT POLITICAL "RINGS."
Olden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth
and Power.


and Power.
The evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his politics, and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called q
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia Monopolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile, so
that it is certain that the "rings" of
the ancient days were as mischievous as
they are now. At Athens a law linn
tied the amount of corn man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was corn ring"
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty bought
up every bushel of corn beyond the alb
solute needs of the Egyptians and stored
it. During the terrible famine that fol-
lowed he was able to get his own price
and bartered corn successfully for the
Egyptian money, cattle and land, and,
taking one-fifth for pharaoh, made him
supremely wealthy. 1t was not merely
provident act, but very polite one,
his policy being to centralize power in
the monarch's hands, An
sWers.
