A Memorable Ride,

The most memorable ride in English
history was that Of Sir Arthur owen,
which placed the Hanoyerian dynasty
on the throne of Great Britain. The
act OF settlement by which in 1701
parliament elected the house of Han
over to the British throne was passed
by only one vote, and this casting vote
was given by Sir Arthur owen. the
member OF parliament for PEMBROKE
shire. He arrived at Westminster
dusty and travel worn. only just in
time to record his vote. having ridden
with furious haste from Wales for the
purpose ON relays OF horses kept at all
the posting houses along the route. To
that ride Britain owes its Georgian
era; hence ifs Queen Victoria and her
descendants.

For one woman who dominates her
husband In China there are doubtless
nine of the approved oriental stripe Of
humility. Nevertheless Chinese humor-
Gus literature abounds In references to
henpecked husbands. Professor Her
bert Allen Giles Of the University OF
Cambridge told one of these stories:
Ten henpecked husbands resolved to
form society to resist the imposition
Of their wives. The ten wives heard OF
the plan and while the meeting for or
ganization was In progress entered the
room in body. Nine of the rebellious
husbands fled, but the tenth one re
tained his place, apparently unmoved
by the unexpected visitation.
The ten wives, after smiling con-
temptuously on the one man who re.
mained, went back TO their homes, well
content with the success of their raid.
The nine husbands thereupon re.
turned to their meeting, resolved to
make the heroic tenth man the presi.
dent Of the society.
When they entered the room. how.
ever, TO inform him OF the honor. II
was found that he was dead. He had
died of fright.

WRcHow AND HIS WAYS.

Herr Professor Was Hunt, but He
once Met Ills Match.
The late Professor Yirchow was, in
his own country at least, almost as
famous for his excessive bluntness of
speech as for his very remarkable men
tai attainments says the Philadelphia
Press. often he spoke so unfeelingly
TO the students who sat under him in
the lecture rooms that they have been
known to leave his classes and not re-
turn. According to Berlin traditions,
one of the professors fayorite replies
to a wrong answer to one of his ques-
tons was:
Certainly not. Any COOK would
know better than that"
On the other hand, he seemed to ap-
preclate tho spirit in some OF his stu.
dents which prompted them to answer
him back in very much his own tone.
Once when he was presiding in a very
old and faded suit of clothes he turned
suddenly upon seemingly bashful
man sitting near him and asked:
do your eyes tell you the truth
What color is this coat of miner"
Without an instant's hesitation the
young man rose and said: 81 presume e
II was once black. Now 1t is any color
except white"
That student was passed.

ELECTION ECHOES.

The Register says: The country
seems to be satisfied. after fashion,
with the way the Republican party
is running things; yet the satisfaction
did not take the shape Of landslide,
by any manner OF means. The election
leaves matters practically where they
were before. The farmers cf the mid.
die West are getting good prices for
their products and voted to stay on
Easy street; the workmen in The great
manufacturing centers are getting
good wages, and they could not figure
out the necessity for a change.
Nowadays a mans politics has be-
come so mixed up with his weeks
pay or his years crop balance that he
throws convictions aside and listens
for the plunk Of the dollar to tell him
how to vote.

What is the earliest instance of the

European language? The first ! have
in my notebook is the reference to
"Americanorum tumatle" made by
Guillandlnus in his "De Papyro," a
commentary on parts of Pliny. 1872,
page 90. Later page Oh he says, DE
nique tumatle ex Uhemistitan, recen-
tiores fere pomum aureum. ct pomum

the Aztec name tomatl and the popular
'love apple" were already I'm use. "The-

misprint for Thenusttan-i. e.. Te-
