English OF Long Ago.


The kings English has changed as
kings have come and gone, says the
st. James Gazette. Here Is passage
from the record of a browning Of long
ago: 1.-THE CARDINAL, as Archebishoppe
Of Caunterbure, showing the king to the
people at the iii parties Of the said pull
pitt, shall say in this wise, 'Sirs, here
present Henry (true) and rightful, and
undoubted enheritour by the lawes OF
God and man to the coroune and roiall
dignite of England, with all things
thereunto ennexed and apperteyning,
electe, chosen and required by all three
estats of the same land to tax upon
him the said coroune and roiall dignite,
whereupon ye shall understand that
this dale is prefixed and appointed by
all the piers Of this land for the conse
crasion, envnccion and coronation Of
the said most excellent Prince Henry;
will ye. sirs, at this TYNE geye your
willes and essentes to the same conse-
cracion, envnccion and coronation?
Whereupon the peple shall sale, with q
create voice, 'Ye, Ye. So be hit. King
Henry! King Henry?"

Chinese DupIieity.

A south sea islander said Of his race,
LAS soon as we open our mouths a lie

without shame the same Of themselves.
1t may be true among western nations
that ''the affairs of life hinge upon con-
fidence." but in the east, and especially
in China. they hinge upon suspicion.
There are few Chinese who attach any
importance to keeping an engagement.
Most Of them are like the man who,
being accused Of having broken his
promise. replied that it was Of no con-
sequence. as he could make another
Just as good. The Chinese say that
one should never refuse request in an
abrupt manner; on the contrary, he
should grant 1t In form. although with
no intention to do so in substance. Put

The Printers Devil.

The familiar term printers devil. "
as applied to the boy of all work about
a printing Office, is said by the Fourth
Estate to have originated with Aldus
Manutius He employed small negro
boy, a curiosity in those days in Eu-
rope, who became known as the Lit
tie Black Devil" Printing was then a
mystery, and a superstition spread that
Aldus was invoking the black art and
that the negro boy was the embodi-
ment Of Satan. To correct this opinion
Aldus publicly exhibited the black boy
and declared: "Be it known to Venice
that l, Aldus Manutius, printer to the
holy church and to the doge, have this
day made public exposure Of the print
er's devil. All those who think he Is
not flesh and blood may come and
pinch him."

4 PERSIAN PARABLE.
ixAe side Of the World the Pessimist
Had Not Seen.

lWh0 Side OF the WOFho the PeB1tun1b
Had Not Seen.
There was a certain man who
thought the world was growing worse
He was always barking back to 1.-THE
good old times" and was sure that the
human race was degenerating. Men
he said, were all trying to cheat one
another, and the strong were crushing
the weak. One day when he was air
ing his pessimistic views the calf said
to him: --..
81 charge you hereafter to look care
fully about you, and whenever you see
any man do a worthy deed go to him
and give him praise or write to him
about it. Whenever you meet a man
whom you regard as worthy to have
lived in the good old days tell him
of your esteem and Of the pleasure you
have had in finding one so exalted
and l desire that you write out an &C
count of these good deeds for me that
I may share your JOY in knowing OF
it."
So the man was dismissed. But be-
fore many days he returned and pros
trated himself before the calf. When
ordered to explain his presence hG
walled:
Have pity on thy servant, and re-
lease him from the necessity Of com
plimenting men upon their worthy
deeds, oh, my master. And, oh, son OF
Mohammed, l pray thee absolve thy
servant from the duty Of reporting to
thee all the good that is going on In
the world"
"And why, oh. slave. dost thou come
to me with this prayer" the calf
asked.
"Since l have been looking for what
is good" the man replied. 81 have had
no time to do aught but compliment
men for their splendid works. So much
that is glorious is all around me that
/ may not hope to be able to tell thee
half Of it My tasks lie neglected be.
