Two of Nast,a Eacea

William VI. Tweed was a portly man
Of medium size, with 4 long, pendulous
nose, little pOrcine eyes, fat, dropping
cheeks and a straight, firm mouth that
was decidedly his best feature.t The
outlines of his face We're those OF n
Bartlett pear, little end upward, and
never saw craft so palpably written
upon a human cOuntenance. Mast
used TO be fond OF drawing Tweed's
face, by the way. as n sack OF money.
The general contour of his head lent
itself To the outlines of the sack. and
he used S marks for the nose and eyes.
Strange to say, 1t was Il capital por
trait
Another OF Nast's trick pictures was
one OF Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw n large letter V, with a smaller V
inside it and surmOunt the pair with
an Interrogation mark upside down.
The big V represented Conkling's point
ed beard, the smaller one his sharp
nose and the Interrogation point the
Hyperion curl which he always allowed
TO fall negligently upon his forehead.
That caricature made the naughty SEN
ator wild and exasperated him more
than any bit of fun that was ever pOked
in his direction.-New Orleans Times

Amos Cummings passed two weeks
Oh a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar

day a great storm arose, and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
like a chip. Every minute wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
TO carry everything away and swamp
the boat. Cummings and JarrOld We're
in the little cabin, the former lying
in bunk intently reading i book on
the French revolution. Jarrold poked
his head out to look at the storm.
when a mountain of sea water fell
with a boom on the deck and filled his
eyes with spray. The boat gave q
fearful lurch and careened until 1t
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
This is awful. Amos" said Jarrold.

At Chalfont, st. Giles, England

navigator. One of the most singular
visits to this monument occurred
in 1865 when Queen Emma of the
Sndwich Islands went in company
with Bishop Wilberforce. People in
the district still recall. with amuse-
ment, how the village band, wishing to
greet her ma ajesty with an appropriate

The Eiraf Umbrella.

To prove at what date the first um-
brella was made is a seemingly hope
less task. but we find records OF their
use among the Greeks and Romans
not alone as a protection from sun or
rain. but as a distinguishing mark OF
royalty. BY the time OF Queen Anne's
reign they had become quite common
simply as a protection. but they were
all imported until about 1902, when
the manufacture Of them was begun in
