Some Very old Prom m citations.

'Laylock," the pronunciation of lilac once very common, has now almost entirely passed away. It is hardly likely to be found in dictionaries or glossaries except such as profess to give provincial variations of spelling. Sixty years ago, however, 1t was by TO means provincialism or mark of the uneducated. well remember that Walter Savage Landor always spoke of "laylocks," as did my own mother and most people of that generation. It belonged to the age, now almost en- tirely passed away, which called Rome Room" gold "goold," St. James "St. Jeames," with other variations of sound now deemed vulgar have heard my father say that George ". always spoke of my loyal city of Lunnon," while 'obleeged" and "cow. cumber" were heard from the mosi refined mouths.
 l can distinctly remember on the first Sunday in Advent. 1925, hearing the officiating clergyman at St. Mary Woolnoth give out sonorously when reading the first lesson Hike lodge ili garden of cowcumbers," a,d mg dear old rector, Julius Charles Hare, twenty years later adopted the same pronunciation, saying at table, "Obleege by passing the cowcumber." "vilets.' as dissyllable for violets, was equally common among people of good education.-Notes and Queries.

Statesman and Gambler.

Charles James Fox, the English statesman, was even more notorious in the gaming world than he was famous in the world of politics. He had squan. dered $250.000 before coming of age. He became one of the most profligate gamesters of the vicious days in which he lived. Some of his finest displays iE debate were sandwiched between eX- citement such as would unnerve most men who had no serious business OH hand. Wa!pole has given glimpse of typical passage in this extraordinary mans life. He had to take part in the discussion on the thirty-nine articles in parliament on certain Thursday. He had sat up playing hazard from Tues day evening until o'clock on Wednes day afternoon. An hour before he had recovered $G0.000 that he had lost and by dinner time which was 5 o'clock. ended losing $55.000. On Thursday lie spoke in the debate, went to dinner at past il at night; thence to q club, where he drank till [ the next morn ing; thence to gambling house, where he won $30,O00, and between and 1 Ill the afternoon he set out on jour ney to Newmarket.

Politeness Tn Mexico.

Gentlemen h Mexico tip hats when ever they see each other, they shake hands whenever they meet and part, they do not consider 1t bad form to stand in line on the sidewalks and stare at the ladies, they wear their hats i'll a theater until the curtain rises, and. moreover, they put them on be- tween the acts and stand up to look at the audience, and after separa- ton they embrace and pat each other on the back if they happen to be ind- mate friends.
 They smoke everywhere, even m some theaters. They never carry bum dies in the street, but each is attended by servant, who carries even the smallest package. They are wonder fully courteous to each other, and two friends will spend good deal of time in deciding which shall enter room or carriage first
 Finally, every Mexican gentleman when strolling on q street insists on giving the inside of the walk to his companion as mark of politeness. This point is quickly decided If there is a difference in station or age. but If tlere is not. and the two friends go down Il street and cross often so that tha relative positions are changed, a new GircusSi0n as to which shall oc- c;:py th.' inside bccumes necessary at rrery ccrnr.

Man is fraud. woman bore. happiness delusion, friendship a humbug; love is disease. beauty a deception, marriage mistake, wife a trial, child nuisance; good is merely hypocrisy; evil is detection. The whole system of existence-life, morality, society. humanity and all that-is hollow sham. Our boasted wisdom is egotism; generosity is inl- becility.

A sight For Sarah.

Of certain bishop. famous as about the plainest man in England. the Liv- crpool Post tells this pleasing tale: One day as this homely parson sat in an omiiLus he was amazed by the persistent staring of fellow passen ger, who presently unburdened himself as follows:
 "You're parson, ain't you"
 "Well. yes: that is so."
 Look 'ere. parson. would you mind comin' home with me to see my wifeT
 Imagining the wife was sick and needing assistance. the clergyman at great inconvenience to himself went with the man. On arriving at the house the man shouted to his wife to come downstairs. and, pointing to the astonished parson, said. with grip of delight:
 Look e ere. Sairry. Yer said this mornin' as 1 wur the hugliest chap in England. Now. just yer look at this bloker'

AustrnIin's Stony Desert.

The great stony desert of north Aus tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt, an Australian explorer. in 1S45-46. It Is north of the river Darling and is about 300 miles long and 100 broad, Consisting of sandy dunes or ridges. Its want of trees. except along the creeks. gives the country n sterile ap- prarance. These ridges were probably formed by the joint effect of winds and Il gradually retiring sea.
 According to Captain Sturt. these waters were gradually lost by evapora- ton or carried to some undiscovered ses. The only vegetation. growing scan- tily. are prickly acacias in full bloom. all of stunted growth. Water Is scarce except in the creeks which are shelter ed, and this is generally brackish. Few travellers care to traverse this in- hospitable desert.

His Great Pressure.

The German officer is nothing If not practical, so there may be an element of truth in the following amusing incl. dent, which comes from Berlin, says the London Express:
 A sergeant was perplexed how to deal with q bowlegged recruit. At last Le bethought himself of q plan. Tax ing one mark piece. about the size of shilling, he ordered the recruit to put 1t between his knees and said. Woe betide you if you let the money fall before come back in five minutes!'
 The unhappy recruit, with knees pressed together, remained in that un. comfortable position for minute. and Ut last, struck by q happy idea, he took the coin from between his knees and put it in his pocket.
 When the sergeant hove in sight, he hurriedly replaced what he thought to be the same coin. 1t was, however, two mark piece, about as large as a form. The sergeant smiled as he con- plilnented the bowlegged recruit on the great pressure he must have ex- erted on the coin between his knees.

DON'T GET MORBID.
It Is Not n Difficult Matter to Think
 Yourself to Death.


 Thousands of people actually think themselves to death every year by al. lowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects.
 AS a rule, the thought that kills re- lates to something the individual dreads more than anything else in the world. There Is the germ of fatal thought in ninety-nine persons in every hundred, and the exception Is only proof against the thought disease by having been inoculated with the lymph of optimism or philosophy.
 The idea that one has some incipient disease in ones system, the thought of financial ruin, that one Is getting on in life without improving prospects-any of them or thousand similar thoughts may carry healthy man to premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon ones mind needs as much "doctoring" as physical disease. It needs to be eradi- cated from the mind or 1t will have just the same result as neglected disease would have. The thought dis ming its course; so does smallpox. But who would settle down to suffer from smallpox and chance recovery, as thou sands of foolish persons settle down to let the thought disease, which has at- tackled them, do its worst?
 Every melancholy thought, every morbid notion and every nagging wor. " should be resisted to the utmost, and the patient should be physicked by cheerful thorghts, of which there is q store in every ones possession, bright companions-cheape than drugs and pleasanter.
 There have occurred scores of dozens of cases where healthy persons have thought themselves into having tumors and cancers-cases which admit of no doubt whatever that the diseases re suited from constant morbid fear There might possibly be fewer cases of cancer if some great doctors could assure the world that it is not hered- itary disease. but morbid minded per sons on hearing that there is cancer in their families generally do the very worst thing they can do under the cir cumstances they conceive an awful dread that they will be afflicted with 1t. They dwell upon the fear constantly, and every trifling ailment which trou. bles tlem is at first mistaken for the premOnitory symptoms of cancer.
 The morbid condition of mind pro- duces morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be in the system it receives every encourage ment in 1qvplOn
