Some years ago there met in New York
city five men, all veterans of the war
with Mexico and of the civil war. They
were all West Pointers and, while not all
classmates, had spent some time at the
academy together. The discussion turn
ed upon ostentation at funerals. One of
the veterans said that the widow and
children were often impoverished in or
der that the father might have a so called
fitting funeral. Colonel Turnkey, who
was one of those present, said:
Boys, | was a carpenter before was
a cadet. II you will agree to use them,
will make with my own hands a coffin
for each of you and one for myself. I'll
use pine boards, nails and little paint
and some leather for the hinges of that
which goes over the face. The cost for
each coffin will be we'll within S."
The old soldiers entered into q compact
then and there to use the Turnkey collins.
They were oil made by the colonel's own
hands and shipped to their destinations.

Europe forms strange romance. About
$50 years ago ship returning from the
islands in the Atlantic then called the
Fortunate isles, but which were undoubt-
cdly the Canaries, went ashore on the
coast of Italy near Leghorn. a cage of
birds captured in those islands was bro
ken, and the birds were liberated. They
did not, however, take refuge on the
Italian mainland, but went to the island
Of Elba, where in due time they nested
and bred and increased in numbers. The
Italians discovered that they were excel
lent singers and began to capture and sell
them in cages.-Tit-Bits

General wauchope,s Speech.

Here Is an amusing story about Gener.
al Wauchope as soldier and q politician:
When in command of the Black Watch,
the famous highland regiment, he was
said to have attempted to address the
men after parade at Maryhill barracks,
Glasgow. From the demeanor of the colo
mel the regiment anticipated an eloquent
address, but 1t is stated that the genial
Andrew only got the length of Men Of
the gallant Forty-second," when his
tongue seemed to cleave to the roof of his
mouth.
Thrice did he make the attempt, and
thrice did he fail to make progress, until,
exasperated with himself, he suddenly
exclaimed, to the establishment of the
regiment, men of the gallant Fortysec-
ond, right about whcel!"-M. A. z.

CloR AlmanaCR.

In early times in England the people
used what were called clog almanacs,
which remained in use till the beginning
of the eighteenth century. An old writer
thus describes them:
"This almanac is usually q square piece
of wood, containing three months on each
of the four edges. The number of days
in them are expressed by notches, the
first day by a notch with patulous
stroke turned up from It and every sew
enth by n large sized notch. Over against
many Of the notches are placed on the
left hand several marks or symbols de-
noting the golden number or cycle of the
moon. The festivals are marked by SYM
bols of the several saints issuing from
the notches,"

A noted humorist had often petitioned
the council of the town where he resided
to fill up mudhole near his house, but
without result.
One night he heard spluttering noise
and sundry calculations unfit for publica-
ton, and, going to his door, he found
respected member of the town council
foundering about in the mudhole.
"Good evening, sir. l am glad to see
you stirring in this matter at last" and
so saying he closed the door and left the
poor councillor to extricate himself as
best he could.-London Answers.
