Some years ago a thrifty old cot
tager named Bethia Rummy attended
service every Sunday morning at the
little church of st. EIzelvir, distant
some two miles from her cottage
on hillside in Derbyshire. AS reg
ular in her provision for temporal
wants as she was in attendance to
spiritual necessities. her custom was
to place piece of bacon in a pot near
the fire to be ready cooked against
her return. Then, with her big prayer
book wrapped in snowy handker-
chief, Bethia trudged on to ST. Elze-
yir's. One Sunday, however, she came
late and flustered to her usual place,
just in front Of the reading desk and
to her wears establishment remarked
as she unfolded the snowy handker-
chief: "Lawk a daisey me! If haven't

bacon to churchw-London Chronicle.

There is no question that the beagle
is a very old breed. Early Roman
accounts of England contain refer
ences to the beagle even by name.
Books published from about 1880 to
1910 describe several varieties Of
hounds, including ''the little beagle,
which may be carried In a mans
glove" That the. miniature hound
was extremely popular at that time
was evident from Queen Elizabeth
keeping a pack which were also said
to be small enough to put in a glove.
This statement is frequently ridiculed
when it is not understood that gloves
of that period were not the present
day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly
to the elbow. What became of those
glove beagles we may surmise from
what we know of the results of later
attempts to maintain packs of beagles
of to 10 inches high. the result after
some years being weak puppies that
fall short of the fine qualities of the
little hunting dog when they are grown
up.-Country Life in America.

Curing a Doctor.

An eminent physician of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients after he
had turned their disorders out of doors,
attended a lady of some celebrity in
the world of wit for three months after
her recovery and regularly stayed with
her until, in the English manner, he
received his dismissing fee of 8
guineas. Weary of his expensive calls
and concluding that to lessen the fee
would be to lose the visitor. she ven
tured to give him guineas at the con-
clusion of his next call. He looked
anxiously in his hand. then on the
carpet and stood for some time in evil
dent embarrassment
''Have you lost anythingT inquired
the lady.
why. madam. thought l had drop
ped a guinea"
ut is only mistake in the person,
sir" rejoined the fair patient. ut is l
who have dropped the guinea"

Under what is called the old style
the Julian calendar assumed the length
of the solar year to be 1854 days,
whereas it was eleven minutes and a
few seconds less. This annual error
accumulated as years rolled ON and be-
gan to be fully recognized about the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The Gregorian calendar, or new style
of writing dates, was first introduced
in the year 1882, and ten days were
then struck out of the calendar 9th
er regulations were also made-name-
ly, that one day more should be droI
ped in each hundredth year which was
not a fourth hundredth after 1852. In
England the old style was directed to
be discontinued and the new style In
troduced in the year 1852.
The change of style was effected in
the following manner In September,
1852: Eleven days being the difference
between dates written according to the
two styles, old and new. the day after
Wednesday, Sept. 2. 1852. was called
Thursday. Sept IA, 1852. emitting the
Sd to the 18th, both inclusive A care
full reading of the article on "Calen-
dar" in any encyclopedia will assist
the reader and student to a fair COM
prehension of the old style and new
style differences and why.

The March Of the Caravan.

Perhaps the weirdest and most i'm
pressive of the many unwonted mem
cries that the traveller carries away
with him from travel in the east is the
recollection of the camel caravans
which he has encountered at night.
Out of the black darkness is heard
the distant boom of a heavy bell.
Mournfully and with perfect regularity
of iteration it sounds, gradually swell
ing nearer and louder and perhaps
mingling with the tones of smaller
bells signaling the rear guard of the
same caravan. The big bell is the in
sigma and alarm of the leading camel
alone.
But, nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a
visible object appears to accompany it.
Suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, there looms out of the dark
ness, like the apparition of phantom
ship, the form of the captain of the
caravan. His spongy tread sounds
softly on the smooth sand, and like a
great string of linked ghouls the ST.
lent procession stalks by and is swal-
lowed up in the night.-"P Persia and the
Persian Question"
