A Singular Bequeat,

A peculiar fate Is said to overhang
the family of the late Sir Julian Gold
smid. An ancestor Of his, so says the
legend, once gave shelter to a rabbi,
who, at his death, left to him a bequest
of mysterious box, which was on no
account to be opened until after the
customary seven days of mourning. If
opened before that time, curse would
fall upon the family.
Curiosity got the better of supersti-
tion, and the box was opened before
the seven days were up. In it was
found document which said that as
the injunction of the rabbi had not
been needed no future owner of the es-
tate would be succeeded by a son. And
such, strangely enough, has been the
case ever since.

A willing Martyr.

Schoolteachers sometimes ask their
pupils queer questions, If one may be-
lieve a story told by the youngest
member Of the Wilmington family.
His mother one morning discovered
a shortage in her supplies Of pies,
baked the day before, and her sus-
picions fell upon Johnny.
Johnny" she said. do you know
what became Of that cherry pie that
was on the second shelf in the pan

there are in cherry pie. and couldn't
find out without eating the whole pie,
could I? There's just 142."-Youth's

THE FATE OF CORONETS.
Lord BrOugham's Became G. w
Childs' Fruit Dish.

Lord Br0ugham's Became G. w.
Childs' Fruit Dish.
Peers and their coronets are soon
parted when the ceremonial use has
been served. The fate of one coronet
is told by a correspondent Of NJ. A. F..
He writes: "When was staying some
years ago in Philadelphia with G. w.
Childs. the we'll known proprietor Of
The Ledger newspaper there, noticed
at dinner one evening peculiarly shap.
ed gilt stand used as support for a
china dish containing grapes. My host.
observing that was scanning 1t rather
closely. said: oh, that is the coronet
Lord Brougham wore at the queens
coronation. / have taken out the vel
vet cap and turned it upside down.
The golden balls form excellent feet,
and it makes most elegant dish
stand Which it certainly did,"
But what Is the fate Of coronets CON-
pared with the fate of coronation
robes? A large portion Of George Tvs
wardrobe, including the coronation
robes, was put at public auction in the
summer Of 1881. There were 12O lots
disposed Of, and some Of the items are
interesting. A pair Of fine kid trousers,
Of ample dimensions and lined with
white satin, was sold for 12 shillings.
The sumptuous crimson velvet corona
ton mantle, with silver star, embroid-
cred with gold, which cost originally.
according tn the ancti0neer f5OO WAS
knocked down for Al guineas; a richly
embroidered silver tissue coronation
waistcoat and trunk hose, f13. The
purple velvet coronation robe, embroid-
cred with gold, Of which it was said to
contain 200 ounces, brought only f55,
although it cost his late majesty $500.
An elegant and costly green velvet
mantle, lined with ermine Of the finest
quality, presented by the Emperor
Alexander to George w., which cost
1000 guineas, was sold for 9125.

HAIR or THE sLOrA.
It II Green In Color and For q Pc
Culiar Reason.

1t In Green In Color and For q Pc
culiar Reason.
1t ia very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair Of
sloths. Apart from Its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity of the outer hair Of the
sloth is it's more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green Is a very rare color
among mammals, and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development in the sloth, and, as
matter of fact, the means by which
this coloration is produced is one Of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that it is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that it is true.
The object Of this peculiar type of
coloration is, Of course, to assimilate
the animal to its leafy surroundings
and thus to render it as inconspicuous
as possible, and when hanging In its
usual position from the underside of
bough it's long, coarse and green
tinged hair is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
punches of gray green lichens among
which it dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs of the al there are a num-
ber of transverse cracks, and in these
cracks grows primitive type of plant
namely, one celled alga.
And for the benefit Of nonbotanical
readers it may be we'll to mention here
that alg@, among which seaweeds are
included, form group Of fowerless
plants related on the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichens.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home of the sloths the alg@ in the
cracks Of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicate to the entire coat
that general green tint which, as al
ready said. is reported to render them
almost indistinguishable from the clus-
ters of lichen among which they hang
suspended.-Knowledge.

THREE PLUMP BABIES.

An Exhibition Which the Crusty Old
1sohelors Thought Disgusting.
"Disgusting," said one old bachelor
to the other.
isn't it?" said the other old bachelor
to the one.
Three women had come into the
street car at different intervals with
babies of different intervals. The first
baby was lusty child with nerve test
Ing lungs. The second was about a
year old, and the mother, just little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glares, finally gained courage to take a
bottle from a grip and plug up baby's
mouth with rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest of them all and
entered the car mere white bundle in
the arms Of a dignified matron hardly
out Of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle,
which had been somewhat disarranged
in the haste to embark, the proud
mother first unfolded a cunning pair Of
blue worsted booties that might fit a
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes Of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs, which
were as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by procession OF gowns
all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor-
ously, and baby's laces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw a soft cloak from
the other end, disclosing a round face,
a pair of blue eyes wide open in amaze
ment and as pretty and baldheaded a
baby from end to end as ever made a
bachelor angry at his own lost oppor-
tunities. Then the three mothers smil-
ed at each others baby.
'Disgusting," said the bachelors.
Then they went out on the platform,
and one took a chew of tobacco and
the other lighted the butt Of malodor-
Gus dead cigar he had been carrying

Will cease to be an exception. A big
cora crop is significant of many good
things to the farmer and consequently
to everybody else who follows legiti-
