Hadn't Used Any Hystprin.

A certain lady Of title recovered from
a rather severe illness. An adept with
the brush and regular exhibitor Of
water colors in connection with the
local art gallery, it was supposed she
had overworked herself.
When the doctor was called in, an
old nurse who had been in the family
many years bored the medical man
with her opinions as to the cause Of
the attack.
"It's them long hours an hard work
of the paintin' what's done it," she re-
marked directly she saw him. The
doctor was preoccupied and scarcely
heard the remark.
HAS her ladyship exhibited any
traces of hysteriaf" he suddenly de-
manded, turning to the talkative nurse.
"Oh, no, sir" was the unexpected re-
ply. They was water colors, all on
'em-real beauties oo."-Milwaukee
Wisconsin.

No Breath to Waste,

"There is something about the at.
mosphere in the far north that makes
men very quiet" said man from up
in the frozen region the other day.
"The habit is acquired, | suppose, in
tramping, when the altitude makes it
necessary to use all your breath for
breathing and leaves you none for
talking. The result Is that the men
talk very little. They become almost
speechless and will sit about at night,
each thinking his own thoughts and
allowing his fellows to do the same"

Editors Troubles In Russia.

A correspondent tells the following
story of methods of censorship In Rus
sia: was at an evening party of the
local press censor in south Russian
town. About midnight had strolled
from the music room into cardroom
and was watching a game of cards,
one of the players being our host, the
censor, when the hostess approached
her husband and said: IL wish, my
dear, you would step behind. There
are three poor wretches there who
have been waiting for you couple of
hours. | did not wish to disturb you
sooner" "They must wait little Ion
ger" replied the censor. ~ must finish
my rubber" Twenty minutes later
our host absented himself for quar-
ter of an hour. Meeting his wife next
day, l asked her who were the three
poor wretches" referred to. editors
of the three local journals" she re
piled. They had waited two and a
half hours in the censor's back kitchen
with their manuscript and proof sheets
for that mornings issue, without which
they could not go to press.-Pearson's

both Were shocked.

Little Elsie was faithful attendant
Mt Sunday school and had listened ear
nestly when plans for coming Chris
tian Endeavor convention were dis
cussed, her interest increasing to en-
thusiasm over the mysterious affair
when she learned that her aunue was
to attend as delegate.
Coming into the library one day,
auntie saw the little maid busily en-
gagged In writing n letter to cousin
with whom she kept up Juvenile cor
respondence. She scrawled industri-
ously for moment; then stopped.
There was puzzled expression on her
fat, ink stained face as she dangled her
short legs and wriggled uncomfortably
on her high perch.
"Auntie," she said, show do you spell
'devilT"
"Oh, Elsie" said her auntie, 81 am
shocked! Why are you using such a
word as that in your letter. Nice little
girls never say such things"
1t was Elsie's turn to be shocked.
"Why, auntie,' she cried, I'm only
telling her about the Christian and
devil conventionw - Harper's Maga

CensOring Shakespeare.

A masterpiece of censorship was once
performed Ly the Turkish censor, NC-
chan Effendi, on the occasion of the
production Of Shakespeare's "Othello"
at Constantinople. He Corrected" the
drama so thoroughly as to leave hard
ly a trace of the original. Among 9TH
er words, be expunged Cyprus" CIV
ing ingenious reasons for this correc-
tion. Cyprus" he said, SIS a Turkish
island. 1t would be politically unwise
to send Othello to Cyprus, because the
territorial integrity of Turkey is guar.
anteed by treaties. Why not put, in

Paris Othello had to go to Corfu.

The Abbot of Fools.

The abbot of fools, who was also
known in different parts as the arch
bishop or bishop of fools, the abbot of
misrule, the lord of misrule, the mas
ter of unreason and Liable de Liesse,
was the person who used to superin-
tend the saturnalia, which were COM
mon in different parts of Europe from
the fifth to the sixteenth century. The
feast of fools was an imitation of the
heather saturnalia and, like this, was
celebrated in December; hence the con-
fusion of ideas which has arisen in
mixing this feast with the ordinary
Christmas revels. The chief celebra-
ton of the feast of fools fell upon In
nocent's day, but the whole revels
lasted from Christmas 70 the last day

orally elected leader, who went by
one of the names quoted, and he was
consecrated with many grotesque and
ridiculous ceremonies.
England, Scotland, France and Ger
many all practiced these wild saturna-
liza, and it was with great difficulty
that they were finally abolished. The
abbot was not responsible for any trick
or practical joke played on the rest Of
the community by his orders, and the
victims had simply to grin and bear
it." In the temple Qaw headquarters,

WELI-KNOWN SMYRNA BOY
CLARENCE G. SMITHERS RE.APPOINIED
COLLECTOR OF PORT AT CAPE CHARLES
Was a Splendid Compliment to His Faithful
Services for the District of CherrystOne
Dnring his -Four Years Tenure.

The Southampton Times, a new pa
per just published at Cape Charles
City, Va, has the following to say re-
garding Clarence q. Smithers, son of
Mrs. Elizabeth Smithers of Smyrna:
"The fidelity to duty for the past four
years by our townsman, Honorable
C.G. Smithers, in the office of Collector
OF Customs for the District of Cherry
stone was rewarded on April 10th inst;
by his reappointment to that position
for another term.
BY this act, the President has proba.
bly, come as near pleasing everybody
IN Cape Charles, not to say the dis
trlct above named, as he could have
conveniently have done, for not only
IS Mr.. Smithers partsanship as in-
offensive as that of any aggressive
worker can reasonably be, but the
assertion is confidently yentared that
few, if any, have succeeded within the
same length of time to form a greater
number Of uniformly warmer personal
friendships than he has during the
period of his sojourn in Cape Charles.
The Times is afforded genuine pleasure
IN being permitted to congratulate
Mr.. Smithers upon this deserved mark
Of approval placed upon him by the
President, and bespeaks for four years
to come, every reason for extending
congratulations likewise to the PresI-
dent, aud people of the district upon
the wisdom of the selection made.
