OF Derby published his "Htstory Of
Pamela" The way that the idea Of
writing such book occurred to him
is significant. He had been asked by
bookseller to compile complete let

of the middle classes, who were not
versed in polite literature, as model
for correspondence. Richardson took
a servant girl as the imaginary CORE
spondent, and then, introducing mar

letters, he produced his Pamela, with
the intention Of both instructing and
interesting his readers, SO that they
might learn simultaneously the art of
letter writing and the art of virtue.

The Use Of the Right Foot.

That the right foot is, like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at
the same time stronger than the left

that the popularity is said to extend
itself even to the constitution, and the
left extremities are asserted to be more
liable to disease than the right The
more difficult movements in stage dane
ing are usually executed upon the right
foot, and it is generally considered
that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful prefer
ence for the right will be shown by
the dancers in their public perform

Most people tread more firmly with
the right than with the left foot. There
seems to be greater capacity for pro-

TIL. Common impression.

One Of our best-known X. C.'s is ex-
tremely vain of his personal appear
ance. Formerly he invariably took his
walks abroad followed by his valet,
who carried an elegant umbrella, ii
being his duty to unfurl and hand the
latter to his master if the sun shone on
his face.
One day when on the Brighton prom
enade the faithful servant was, as
usual, logging his steps.
On reaching home Mr.. 2, the K.
O., asked his man whether he had
heard any remarks passed about him.
"Begolra!' said the Irish valet. II
heard remarks enough about you"
"And what were they?' asked Mr.
I'D be 10th to tell you, sir,'' replied
the servant.
Il command you to tell mel" said
his master.
"Well. thin, sir" replied Pat, "wher

after, and the artful valet was saved

A Primitive po.sof1ce,

Until short time ago very peculiar
poetoftice was used In Argyllshire,
England. It was situated In the lonely
hills between Drimmin and Barr, three
miles from any habltation. and con-
sisted Of simple slit In rock. closed
up by a nicely fitting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drim-
min for the district Of Barr, they were
conveyed to the rock by the first shep-
herd or crofter going so far. Having
been dropped in and the slit reclosed,
they were left until shepherd or
crofter from the other side happened
to come along. when they were taken
up and delivered at their destination.
No letter was ever known to be lost at
this primitive postofnce.

one Misery of Ang1o-1naian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo In
dian holds kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little, fat,
brown, shining creature-which emits
the worst oder in the world. If one of
these touches your food, the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for If one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filled with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and lnwardly sigh "Spero menora."
