Antifat Mr. Rantinp,s Joke.

The late George Won BunseD, the &C.
complished and delightful son of the
baroness whose Life and Letters" are
we'll 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 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

"No" said the man with the large
head, 81 can't say that / think very
much Of the fox in the old fable of the
fox and the grapes. It is recorded of
him that after trying to get the grapes
by every way that his ingenuity could
suggest he finally turned up his nose
and said, oh, 1 don't care; they re
souri,
"Now, if that fox had had any COM
mendable wisdom in his triangular skull
he would have looked at the grapes
blandly and then announced to the
world that they were sweet, but that
sweets didn't agree with him; that,
owing to the condition of his stomach
he considered it inadvisable to eat any
thing containing saccharine matter, and
that, besides, a properly philosophical
fox believed in self denial and in taking
things that were easily at his disposal
instead of trying to climb trellis to
secure attractive but deleterious grapes
eff he had done that, instead Of being
the laughing stock of succeeding gener-
ations he would have stood a good
chance of being appointed professor of
philosophy at the varsity and of living
on yellow legged chickens the rest of
his natural life. STRAND Magazine.

TIE Bulldog q GOOD Dog.

No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as a sort Of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name, is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affeo-
ton, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted. Outing.

ANCIENT POLITICAL "RlNGS."
OIden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth
and Power.

OIden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth
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 a
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 confscation 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 a 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
supremacy wealthy. 1t was not merely
a provident act, but very polite one,
his policy'being to centralize power in
the monarch's hands.-London An
