The Best Man.

During the old days of Sweden
there were several best men, and
the term was applied in its full lit
eral sense The duty of the best
men in those times was to defend
the groom and his prospective bride
from a rival, who, accompanied by
several retainers, was sure to ap-
pear while the wedding procession
was on its way to church and make
stubborn fight for possession of
the woman.
The Scandinavian warrior consid-
cred it beneath his dignity to court
maiden's favor by gallantry and
submission and therefore generally
preferred to wait until she was on
her way to be married to another
man, when the attempt was made
TO carry her off by main strength.
1t was then that the best men-if
they were the best men-came into
good play; hence the custom is still
preserved i'll "best'' man of today.

Extracting the Young Idea.

Two events of one day convinced
a young lady Of Piety Hill that the
infant mind is one OF the most pro-
found mysteries of nature. 1t was
her first effort win a class of little
Sunday school children, and after
talking with them in her most i'm
pressive way for half an hour she
asked her precious charges what
they thought of their lessons. One
little girl. with golden hair and
great blue eyes such as artists love
to reproduce in themes divine, indi-
Gated a desire to speak.
"What is it, my dear:''
"Miss Earnest, if you lived to be
a hurried years old you'll never
have a prettier hat than the one
what you got on now.''
The second developed later in the
day. She told the little ones that
they must not let the weeds grow
up in their hearts, for they were
the weeds of sin and worse than
death. One fat cherub who had
never known what it was to be sick
set up a howl as soon as he reached
home. Being short on a knowledge
of anatomy he sat holding. his di-
gestive apparatus and declaring that
the weeds growing in his heart
were "a'mos KILN" him. Ignorant
of the cause of alarm, the terrified
parents kept the telephone wires
hot till they secured the presence of
three doctors, who We're quickly
followed by others who had not
been in when called. While the
others were gravely consulting, one
shrewd practitioner extracted tbs
story of the Sunday school lesson
and administered a dose of sugar
and water. Ten minutes later the
little fellow was telling how nea1
he came to dying while he was eat
ing enough for a harvest hand

Gently, immensely handsome-with
the blue of heaven in his eyes and
that charming Russian singsong
voice in which there is just some
thing both of the child and of the
negro. Being put at his ease by the
ovation that was given to him, he
talked in a curious and interesting
way about Russian literature, which
he declares to be we'll launched upon
the tide of realism, from the novel
to the play 'Turgeneff and His
Wrench Cirole.''

BATTLE OF TRENTON.

On Christmas day in seventy-six
Our ragged troops, with bayonets fixed,
For Trenton marched away.
The Delaware see, the boats below,
The light obscured by hail and snow,
But no signs of dismay.
Our object was the Hessian band,
That dared invade fair freedoms land
And quarter in that place
Great Washington he led us on
Whose streaming flag in storm or sun
Had never known disgrace.
In silent march we passed the night,
Each soldier painting for the fight,
Though quite benumbed with frost.
Greene on the left at six began.
The right was led by Sullivan
Who ne'er a moment lost
Their pickets stormed. the alarm wa
spread
That rebels risen from the dead
We're marching into town.
Some scampered here, some scampered
there.
And some for action did prepare,
But soon their arms laid down.
Twelve hundred servile miscreants,
With all their colors, guns and tents,
We're trophies of the day.
The frolic DER, the bright canteen
In center, front and rear was seen
Driving fatigue away.
Now, brothers of the patriot bands,
Let IS sing deliverance from the hands
OF arbitrary sway,
And as our life is but span
Let's touch the tankard while we can
In memory of that day.

How to Make Cold Cream.

To make cold cream take of oil of
almonds two ounces, spermaceti half
an ounce, white wax dram. Melt
together and while cooling add two
ounces of rosewater, stirring until
cold. Cold cream may also be made
by this formula: Take four ounces Of
unsalted butter, four ounces of white
wax and an ounce of vaseline. Melt
together and perfume with oil of
bergamot. The more cold creams
are stirred and beaten while cooling
the whittier they become.

Ward says:
This great and we'll beloved artist,
who was at once painter, poet,
sculptor and architect, was popular
ly supposed to have been a shep-
herd Tradition tells us that as he
daily tended his flock in the pas
ture one little lamb was ever by his
side, showing him the most touch
ing affection. When at last the little
lamb was about to die, it spoke in
verse to the shepherd, telling him
that its spirit would remain with
him always in the form of fairy
and that through its favor he was
to become great artist. At all
events, the prophecy came true, for
Giotto became an artist of world
wide fame, and he built tower in
Florence known as Giotto's Cam
panile 1t is said that here the fairy
has dwelt ever since among the
bells, fitting through the silent
spaces.
Giotto, commanded by the city to
build an edifice which in height and
richness was to surpass any pre-.
vious structure in the worlds his

spared, and some of the greatest

The Alchemy Of Nature.

"Your trouble said the lively
widow to the young heiress, is that
you don't understand even slightly

ed to marry Cokely, and as your
friend left the field open until you
admitted that your chance was
hopeless. Now he and l are en-
gagged.
He's a horrid wretch
"Thanks But month ago you
thought him the dearest man on
earth. He is, and he belongs to the
strong oak type. You didn't know
enough to be the clinging vine. You
failed to lean on him and flatter his
distinguishing quality. You were
always trying to do something for
him. l reversed the order and de-
lighted him by having him do things
for me. I made him realize how
much he could be to me and delight
ed him with my gratitude for the
advice l was constantly getting
about my affairs. To use the afro
cious slang of the day, swelled his
head, and if you know how to use it
the recipe will win the affections of
nine men out of ten. 1t is the true
love potion prepared by the cunning
alchemy Of nature. Positively, my
dear, you young girls weary me. y

Prince Alberts to Hire.

"Dress Coats to Hire is an old
and familiar sign. prince Alberts
to Hire is comparatively new. A
man in the business of renting dress
clothes said that frock suits had
been rented now for about year.
They are worn for morning we'd
dings and for other day occasions.
There is a demand for them, but it
is not nearly SO great as that for
dress suits. A dozen frock coats
would be enough to carry with a
stock of 200 or 300 dress suits. The
cost of hiring a frock coat is the
same as that of hiring dress suit,
