Got the Fi.h In.

On the occasion of the opening Of
parliament during one OF the years
when Pitt was prime minister the
lords and commons were greatly per-
picked by a reference to the goldfish at
Windsor castle which was introduced
into the kings speech and read by Pitt.
1t was not until after both Pitt and
King George were dead that the expla-
nation came out. The prime minister,
it is related had come to the king at
the palace with the speech from the
throne fully prepared. He found the
king seated at the edge of the basin of
a fountain earnestly regarding his
goldfish sporting about in the water.
Pitt read the speech. Does your mai
esty approve the discourseY asked the
minister. y will approve 1t, but only
on one condition. said the king, "and
that is that you introduce in 1t some
reference to these fishes" The king
was obdurate and refused his author
ization Of the royal speech until Mr..
Pitt had promised faithfully to say
something In It about the royal gold.

woman who was out OF work and who
had searched for employment day aft

a cent left. This she spent for a postal

Her application impressed the busi-

That wasa curious sort Of impromptu
coronation in which his majesty King
William ". figured. Things did not
go very well with Earl Grey's govern
ment after the second reading of the
first reform bill had been carried by a
majority Of one in 1881, and one Fri
day in April they suddenly got the
king to go'down and prorogue parlia-
ment in person. Somebody went on to
the Tower to fetch the crown, and with
a scratch body of attendants his mai
esty drove down to the house of lords.
What happened there is described in
Greville's memoirs"
The king ought not properly to have
worn the crown, never having been
crowned; but when he was in the rob.
ing room be said to Lord Hastings,
Lord Hastings, wear the crown;
where is IT." It was brought to him,
and when Lord Hastings was going to
put 1t on his head, he said, Nobody
shall put thecrown on my head but my
self" He put 1t on and then turned to
Lord Grey and said. Now, my lord,
the coronation is over!
The crown did not fit very well, we
are told, but the propagation was sue
cessfully effected.-London Chronicle.

AmusinE and Pathetic story of Cons

An amusing and pathetic story. Is
told Of BENJAMIN Constants first pic
ture to attract attention. 1t was called
.sToo Late!'e and represented Fortune
and Glory visiting an artist Just MS he
had breathed his last. The artist was
lying on the bed. The figure Of Death
stood near the door, through which
Fortune. carrying a box Of money, and
Glory, bearing laurels, had just en-
tered.
The artist received many letters from
those who had seen the painting. One
was written by professor Of music,
an old man, who expressed in touch
ing words the emotion, he had felt at
the sight Of the artists work. he
asked Constant to visit and talk to him
about "Too Later
The invitation was accepted, but as
soon as the old professor saw the artist
he uttered IN ejaculation of surprise
and anger. s'why, you are quite a
youth!' he exclaimed. II thought you
were old and, like myself, had spent
your life,in vain endeavor to obtain
recognition OF your abilities. I con-

with q Yankee Genius.
Some things that fall under ones OBJ
servation eryday and are regarded
as commonplaceare really somewhat
extraordinary. Among these confetti
may be mentioned The history Of con-
fetti is rather curious. Several years
ago large printing works in Paris was
turning out immense quantities Of cal
endars, through which small round
hole had been punched to receive an
eyelet for holding the sheets together.
A heap Of the little circular scraps Of
paper cut out by the punch accumulat-
ed on table and one of the machine
men amused himself by scattering q
handful of them over working girls
hair. She Immediately snatched up
q handful and threw them in his face.
Other girls followed her example. and
the first confetti battle began.
The head OF the establishment came
in when it was atlts height, and being
what the Americans call "smart
man." he at once realized that there
was "money in. It" He ordered special
machinery, placed large quantities Of
the new article on the market, made a
fortune and created new industry.
Paris now supplies nearly every part
Of the civilized world with confetti and
single orders for fifty tons are not un-
common.

ENeLlsHMAN AND TURK.
How. the Former Obtained Some Cash
owed by the Latter.

How the Former Obtained Some Cash
owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had very
curious experience. says the London
Telegraph. He had lent Turk some
money, hut the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid a par
ticular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest son
was making arrangements according
~, but also died, and he, too. begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could.
One day the Englishman received q
visit from a member of the family,
who said that there were now four
members of it left, and they were
ready to pay, but one OF the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter. and II the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added,
"if you see there is any difficulty. just
say that you leave 1t to be settled In
the next world"
Accordingly the Engllshman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of a
mollah, the ladies' being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
If he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and IL he would take any
less. One Of the women behind kept
saying 1t was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for it
that they had told him to come and
get it and if they did not want to pay
it he would leave the matter to be set
tied in the next world.
There was dead silence for few mo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother. and each paid her share
without u word. 1t seems the prospect
of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious thing to face.

Travelling In Japan.

A writer describing scenes on Japa-
nese railways says when native lady
enters the car she slips her feet
from her tiny shoes, stands upon the
seat and then sits demurely, with her
feet doubled beneath her. A moment
later she lights cigarette or her little
pipe, which holds just tobacco enough
to produce two good whiffs of smoke.
All Japanese people sit with their feet
upon the seat OF the car and not as Eu-
ropeans do. When the ticket collector.
attired in blue Uniform, enters the
car, he removes bis cap and twice
bows politely. He repeats the bows as
he comes to each passenger to collect
the tickets from them.

great success, and the boys answered
satisfactorily numerous interrogations
as to the exodus Of the Israelites from
Egypt The clergyman then said he
would be glad to "speer the boys" and
at once began:
"How did Pharaoh die?"
There was a dead silence.
In his dilemma the lowland gentle
man interposed:
81 think. sir. the boys are not accus-
toned to your English accent. Let me
try what I can make Of them" And
he inquired in broad Scottish:
..Hoo did Phawraoh dee?"
Again there was dead silence, upon
which the master said:
moo, boys. fat cam to Phawraoh at
his hinner end?'
..The boys with onoyoice answered:
.He was drooned."

The chief value and advantage of
salad plants are derived from their sa-
line matters. In these they are com
paratiyely rich, especially in potash
salts. Cooking generally extracts these
from vegetables, and consequently such
vegetables as can be eaten in an I'M
cooked state present these unchanged
and in most agreeable form in the
crisp, cool and succulent leaves. which
also serve to introduce large amount
OF water into the system.

The colorine aualItie. Of Pepper.

The COl0rtnE Qualities OF feppers
Canaries when fed with cayenne pep
per gradually change their color, pass
ing from yellow to red. Cayenne pep
per contains tinctorial substance, an
irritative principle and an oil. When
the last two substances are extracted
by sleeping in alcohol, pepper loses its
coloring properties, but an addition of
olive oil restores them. From this fact
the conclusion is drawn that the oily
principle OF pepper is the necessary
vehicle of color. Experiments made
with white hens gave similar results.
These hens have also the quality of be-
ing able to indicate changes of tenn
perature by marked change of plum
age. The yolk of their egg is bright
red.

The veterans of the Confederate army.
who are inmates of the Soldiers Home at
Richmond were allowed to register. not
understanding the opinion of tue at Tor ne Y
general, who held that no inmate of
a charitable institution could. under the
new constitution. register at any other
place than his former residence. The
board at Shumaker's precinct, where the
veterans are registering. Is composed of
J. L. NuckOls. DR.. l. T. Michaels and A
X. Holderby IT. The latter armed with
the opinion of the attorney general. which
was backed 10y several well known law
yers immediately offered a protest when
W. 4. + csc, al inmRf OF the Soldiers
Home, made Application 10 register. Mr..
Holderby earnestly appealed to his col
leagues 10 help him carry out the views
OF the attorney general. He asked that
a test case be made Of the first registra
ton. that the matter might be decided
by the county court. The other two
members of the board refused to decline
TO register Mr.. / ese, or to have a t,st
case of the registration. These two
members held that they were bound to
register the veterans under the soldier
clause.
