Too Much for Him.

There is a story of a layman who conducted service one day for a wes iss On. He had been a stout old soldier in his time, but his knowl- edge of Hebrew was limited, and hls pronunciation of unfamiliar Bible names a thing to marvel at When he opened the Bible that day he could not at once find the place, and after turning the pages nervously, in tho face of tittering congregation, he fin- ally took passage at random and be- gan to read. As i'll luck would have it. he lighted upon one of the genealo- gical chapters of Ezra, and there ho struggled hopelessly through half a column of Hebrew names, seeking all the time for better luck. At length he turned the page. in the vain desire of seeing some change in the substance of the chapter on the other side What he found proved too much for him, and after one frightened glance. he thus concluded his reading: And a page and half moro of the same kind, brethren Here endeth the first les- son Youths Companion.

SOME WHY'S ANSWERED.
The Ancient and Curious Origin of Fa-
 miiiar Customs.


 miiiar Customs.
 It is not surprising what number of little things we do without knowing the reason Why. for instance. do widows wear caps? Perhaps they may say because they make them look pretty and interesting. But the real reason is that when the Romans were in England they shaved their heads as a sign of mourning. Of course a woman couldn't let herself be seen with a bald head, so she made herself pretty cap. And now though the necessity of wear ing it has passed away, the cap re- mains Why do We have bows on the left side of our hats? In olden times, when men were much in the open air and hats couldn't be bought for half dollar, it was the habit to tiG cord around the crown and let the ends fall on the left side to be grasped on the arising of squall. They feli on the left side so they might be grasped by the left hand, the right usually being more usefully engaged. Later on. the ends got to be tied in a bow, and later still, they became useless, yet the bow has remained, and will probably re- main till the next deluge or something of that sort. What IS the meaning of the crosses or Ks on barrel of beer? They signify degrees of quality nowa- days But originally they were put on by those ancient monks as sort of trademark Thay wera croScec in +hoca days and meant a sort of oath on the cross, sworn by the manufacturer that bis barrel contained good liquor. Why are bells tolled for the dead? This has become so familiar a practice that a funeral without would appear un. Christian. Yet the reason is quite bar, barous. Bells were tollod long ago, when peoplewere being 5ur;eG,ia order to frightc:l away .he evil D rlts who lived in the air. Why do fai: ladies break bottle of wine on the ship they are christening? Merely another sur viyal of barbaric custom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods it was custom ary to get some poor victim when a boat was being launched and to cut his throat over the prov, so that his blood baptized it. Why are dignitaries deafened by a salute when they visit a foreign port? It seems a curious sort of welcome. this firing off of guns, but 1t seems the custom arose in very reasonable way. Originally, town or warship fired off their guns on the approach of important and friendly strangers to show that they had such faith in the visitors peaceful inten- tions they didn't think it necessary to keep their guns loaded. Why do We sometimes throw shoe after a bride? The reason is not very mplimentary From of old it has been the habit of mothers to chastise their children with a shoe. Hence the custom arose of the father Of bride making a present 10 the bridegroom of shoe as sign that it was to be his right to k8e, her tn order. Cincinnati Enquirer.
