The CeIfs md Green.

The early CeIts worshlped the dawn
and the sunrise. 1t is more than proba-
bic, therefore, that their liking for the
color green which we see in their flags,
sashes. etc, arose from a mistake
among those who had lost a thorough
knowledge of the Irish language. The
sun in Celtic is called by a word pro
nounced exactly like our word greer"
and it is likely that the Irish fondness
for that color arose through the strik-
ing similarity Of the two words. In
the same way. when we talk about a
greenhouse we think they are 80 called
because plants are kept green in them
during the winter; yet it is far more
probable that the word is derived from
the old Celtic word for sun, because
greenhouses are so built as to catch the
rays and heat of the sun and store
them for future use.

Forcinc n Pension.

When Thomas Snodgrass, ex-collect-
or of Canaan, Madras, was expelled
from the service of the East India
company owing to his extravaganza
he applied for pension, but the COM
pany turned deaf ear to him. Ac-
cordingly he arrayed himself in tattered
clothes and, armed with a broom, set
to work sweeping a crossing IN Lead
entail street in front Of the East India
house. Immediately all London was
agog with the intelligence that an old
and distinguished officer Of the East
India company who had ruled over
100000 people and reveIed in palace
was now reduced in the evening OF his
life to the necessity Of earning his
bread by sweeping the streets. The
king was thunderstruck and implored
Mr.. Snodgrass to take himself and his
broom away. This he did when the
company gave him his pension.

there is such thing as overeating:

A well known English dean recently
had the misfortune to lose his umbrel-

preparation by another had not been
altogether accidental. He therefore
used the story to point a moral in n
sermon in the cathedral, adding that If
its present possessor would drop it
over the wall Of the deanery garden
during that night he would say no
more about 1t. Next morning he re-
paired to the spot and found his own
