Old Handles on New Umbrellas,

at is not unusual" said an umbrella
dealer, "for a person to use the same
handle on more than one umbrella,
having it shifted from a wornout UNI
brella to a new one. The handle thus
shifted might be q valuable one, too
costly to throw away, or it might be an
inexpensive one that just suited the
carrier. Many people are particular
about the handle of an umbrella, as to
its size and shape, and thus want one
that just suits them If they can get 1t.
They may run across such an umbrella
and buy 1t, or they may search for it
and find it, and when the umbrella to
which it is attached wears out then
very likely they have the handle Of the
new umbrella that they buy taken eff
and the old handle, that they like, sub
stituted for it."-New York Sun.

Left In the Cars,

! once heard Artemus Ward tell an
audience that he had gifts Of oratory,
but didn't happen to have them with
him that evening. 1 suppose most peo-
pie hatter themselves that they have
fairly good memories. Perhaps they
have, but the lost parcel room Of tho
elevated railroad goes far to indicate
that they don't have their memories
with them when they travel. 1 asked
the lost parcel clerk yesterday how
many things were left in the cars. He
said that the average is about $50
pieces a day, of one sort and another.
While I was talking to him a gentle
man was waiting to see if pair Of
roller skates, which his little girl had
left in the cars last week, had turned
up. 1t turned out that they had turned
up.-New York Mail and Express.

A Thrifty Scot.

A good story is told by an English
tourist who staid for a week in apart
merits in Aberdeen, the Granite City"
q had heard" he says, "of the canny
folk of Aberdeen, and my experience,
short though it was, proved that rumor
had rightly estimated the character Of
the people. The streets are granite,
the houses are granite, and the inhab-
itants are granite, and when they have
a granite baby they give it a ball Of
granite for fear it should break any
other toy.
81 had a granite landlady, and one
day when I was going fishing her
son volunteered to accompany me. /
provided the lunch, the rods and the
lines; he provided the worms-dug
them up in neighbours garden with Il
borrowed spade. l caught 16 trout; he
ate the lunch and broke my best rod.
When we got home, l made n present
Of IA of the fish to my granite landlady
and asked her to cook the other two
for my tea. She did and charged me
threepence for the dripping in which
they were fried"'-London Answers.

Men as Created.

The glittering generalities Of Thomas
Jefferson that all men are created
equal and that the right of life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness Is inaliena-
BILE, have been the texts for many in
furious instructions. They are rhe-
torical fiourishes, meaningless to the
gentleman on the scaffold and in Sin,
Sing, who pursued the fleeing phan
tom of happiness with the jimmy Of
the burglar and the dagger of the as
sassin. Men are not created edua
physically, morally or intellectually
nor in aptitude, opportunity nor condi
ton. 1t is perhaps accurate to say OF
the 1,500,0O00O0 inhabitants of tn
earth no two are created equal. Nature
is incapable of uniformity and detests
equality as much as she abhors a
vacuum. One is made to honor, an
other to dishonor, as one star differeth
from another star in glory.-John ]. In

objected the girl.
But I make enough to keep you,"
urged Needham. You need never do

The girl looked at him, and he read
the answer in her brown eyes. Then
she seized her violin out of his hand
and fed, leaving him staring stupidity,
after her, with q whole world Of joy
on his face.
For the next week neither of them
saw each other. Randall Needham
went away suddenly the day after,
and staid away, to the surprise of his
pupils (for it was term time), and the
righteous indignation of Mrs. Ranter.
"But what could one expect Of man
like that? she whispered confidential
~ to her bosom friend, a lady whose
great niece had married the great
nephew of a baronet.
Needham came back the day after
this charitable remark had been made.
He was In deep mourning, and his first
visit was to General Carwithen. Cecil
was in the garden, and thither he
wendell his way after the interview
was over.

he smoothed it back with loving ges-

"Well? she queried anxiously.
"Look at that" he said, thrusting q
paper into her hand and turning away,
so that he might not see her face. He
need not have been afraid.
Cecil read the marked paragraph,
"The funeral Of Lord Cunningham"
There was also q likeness Of the heir,
and it and the man sitting beside her
were identical.
Mrs. Ranter was considerably aston
ished the next morning to get letter
in the ex-violin's masters handwriting:
Lord Cunningham regrets that he
will be unable to continue Miss Ran
ter's lessons, as he is leaving Leomin-
ster"
Still more surprised was she at the
announcement of his engagement to
Cecil Carwithen, which her daughters
read out of the local papers a few
mornings later.
"Girlsw she said to those two young
ladies, why didn't we ask him to din

Remarkable Tumora.

Some remarkable records Of tumors
are given in The Lancet. The largest
known is uterine tumor that weighed
1876 pounds, described by doctor of
Bucharest. Hunter removed one
weighing 40 pounds from woman
whose weight without the tumor was
95 pounds. The largest solid tumor Of
this class weighed Jog pounds. The
record for ovarian tumors is held by
a Chinese patient, who had one weigh
ing 100 pounds; without it she weighed
q pounds. There is a New York one
of 149 pounds and a German one of
146. For mammary tumors case is
on record where the growth in one
breast weighed GA pounds and in the

The Betrothal Ring.

The early history Of the wedding
ring Is not easy to trace. as it was apt
to be confused with the betrothal ring.
This was once the more importa:
the two. for In the days Of our forefa-
theirs the betrothal was the great cere-
mony and marriage only the ratiica-
ton of the contract. Then a spouse
was a betrothed person, and to espouse
was to be betrothed. The ceremony
of espousal or betrothal was celebrat-
ed with all possible solemnity as the
contract Of a future eternal bond of
love-" No doubt the reason for thus
solemnizing an engagement was that
In times of violence and lawlessness
the church thought it needful to pro-
tect the woman and therefore made
the betrothal SO sacred that violation
Of the contract was punished with ex-
communication. A betrothal service
was used, which still forms part of the
French and Italian ritual, and, indeed,
the first part Of the Anglican mar
rage rite down to the woman's 81
will" Is simply the old betrothal serv-

about, and one by one they came up to

for what was going to 'appen next.
And all the time that blamed bark
was standing away under full sail as
If nothing lad 'appened.
Suddenly the skipper looked round
and said something as didn't seem to

"'Who's left in charge of that barkT
he yelled.
Nobody answered, and then e look

we was a-bobbing about together. e
counted US twice, and then e swore

elbow dare you leave the ship with
out my orders? he shouted. Don't
you see that there isn't a man on the
| bark, and that we're left here like q
flock of fools while she drifts on to the
nearest lee shore?
"Somebody begun to giggle. and the
| skipper swore as ED blow is brains
out If e found out who it was. The
| gal said it was 'er, and sure enough
she was a-laughing away as IL 1t was
the best fun in the world, while there
was the crew Of the Liza Jane a-bob-
ship was a-sailing steadily away by
'erself, without and to guide FER
from the cruel rocks. 1t was an awful
moment for me, as 'ad bin the unwill-
ing cause of it all, and it seemed as If
the utter uselessness of women was a
fact, after all.
But there was the gal, still smiling,
and when a tramp steamer picked us
up and carried us to Plymouth she
wanted the skipper to report us to the
authorities as a picnic party as 'ad
got out Of our depth. But the old man
was wild with the loss of is ship, and
e couldn't do nothing but stamp about
and threaten to kill us all.
I'VE did ear sfterward that the Liza
Jane 'ad stood out to sea and went
down in a squall somewhere in the re-
gion Of the tropics. And that's as like
ly as not, for we never set eyes on FER
agen.
"And when the skipper got over it
and come to look upon things in the
right spirit he sorter veered round to
the conclusion that n comfortable 'ome
and good looking wife wasn't such n
poor consolation after all. No more
was the ESQ each of us got for our
