An Ancient military Devotion.

The eating of three blades OF grass

recognized form of military devotion
in the middle ages. On the eve of battle
one knight would make his confession
10 another, and then partake of this
symbolical communion. II would not.

Made a Good Sfart.

The travelling statesmen of Ohio were
practically solid for Mckinley in 1896.
The trusts have been forcing this class
of men out of employment at such a
rate as to bring them TO realization
of the beauties of Hannaism. At a
meeting of travelling statesmen held at
COlumbu Oct. %. the following
pointed resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, BY n comparison of prices
of 1899 as against those of 1898, we
find an advance of from 30 to $50 per
cent in almost every household neces-
sitv; and
Whereas, The Honorable Marcus A.
Hanna, the political godfather of the
republican party. takes great pleas
ure in declaring trusts are good
thing; therefore,
Resolved, That we denounce the
republican party as the mother of
trusts. and pledge our best efforts to
defeat Hannaism.
The travelling salesman among other
influences made pretty good start
ut the root of the evil last Tuesday in
Hanna's own county in Ohio. They
will attack the evil itself next year.

Attending His own Funeral.

An interesting story is told about q
French cab driver named Prosper RO
mieu. who actually attended his own
funeral. Some time ago ROmieu was
convicted of some offensc and sentcnc-
ed to 4 term OF Imprisonment. Since
then he had been in hiding at the house
OF n brother. The brother died, and
an inspiration occurred to the convict
ed cab driver. Accordingly he obtain
ed Il certificate of his own death and
attended as chief mourner.
The fraud might never have been
discovered. and Romieu might have
passed as his own brother 10 his dying
day but for the fact that at the grave
side there was n policeman who hap
pened 10 know him. The policeman
accosted him and. on getting an an
swcr, said facetiously. "This is the first
time l have heard Il dead man speak"
The unlucky dissimulator was hailed
off to the bureau and has since been
sentenced to five months imprison-
Ineut.

Spurgeon took n prominent part in an-

one cold day. however. the teacher
noticed that he was so very backward
that he remained the whole time 1T
the bottom of the class.
This went on for some time and puz-
Zled the teacher until he noticed that
the fire was near the bottom of the
class. He Immediately changed the
class about, making the bottom the
top.
He then had the satisfaction of hear
ing all his questions fully answered by
Spurgeon and that young hopeful
keeping the same seat. the only differ
ence being that lie was at the top OF
the class instead of the bottom.-Spare

passage of Lear We're touching in

frightfully bad edition of that sublime
tragedy.
He had some very odd ways at times.
We were playing Hamlet one night
in Natchez, and during Ophelia's mad
scene q cock began to crow Justify.
When the curtain fell upon that fourth
act, this growing became more con-
slant. And when the manager could
not find Mr.. Booth to commence the
next act he looked IN and saw him
perched on the top of the ladder, which
was the only way to reach the flies
I'm that primitive theater.
The manager assembled the ladder
and had quite n lengthy discussion
with Mr.. Booth, who at last consented
to come down on condition that he
should resume his high position after
the play and remain there until Jack

Luxury and Extrnvagance.


In general the destruction of wealth
is social as we'll as an individual loss.
The wealth that is used up in riotous
living is diverted from better uses. Ex-
travagance is not necessarily luxury.
The mere transfer of wealth from one
hand to another does not involve de-
struotion. Consumption means using
up. When a nation spends $3.50, 600 for
great picture, the wealth Is not de-
stroyed; it is simply transferred. When
the jubilee plunger ran through So, 500, :
600 in IL calendar months, the wealth
of the world was diminished only by
the amount of it he and those who
sponged on him put down their throats
and otherwise wantonly destroyed. In
30 far as it was simply transferred to
others to whom be paid extravagant
prices, It was not destroyed.
To give high prices for articles which
are rare is not necessarily luxury, for
the price and the rare edition or the old
master both remain. 1t rs true that ex-
travagance may mean the transfer of
wealth to those who will not use it
we'll, but it does not usually mean this.
1t generally involves a transfer to the
hands Of those who will use it more
wisely.-Journal of Ethics.
