1t Was Not a LOZenger.

The exception to the rule that funer-
ais are among the most solemn of hui
man customs occurred at burial in
Quaker settlement.
An aged and highly respected man in
the community died, and the funeral
was largely attended. In a room filled
with relatives and friends of the dead
sat an old farmer whose cough, like
some of the ailments that afflict hu-
mans, was especially aggravated when
the mourners were quietest.
He made several efforts to control the
hectic spasms: but, being blunt in dis
position and not the least self con-
scious, he did not realize that he had
the nerves of half of the room on edge
and consequently did not worry himself
about stopping the cough. Much an
nOyed, but full of sympathy, a spinster
lady, neighbOr, who sat behind him,
plunged her hand quietly into an an
cient reticule and, drawing out some
thing in her hand, passed it TO him,
saying in u whisper, Here is a lOnzen-
ger, John; it will stop thee from cough
ing"
The farmer took it rather Indifferent
ly, put it into his mouth, bit hard. then
suddenly raised half foot off his
chair, with a wry face. Returning the
''lozenger," he said in a voice heard
throughout the room:
Here! Thee should be less careless
with thy shoe buttons. 1 have almost

N1truyius, Roman architect and en-
gineer who flOurished in the reign of
Augustus Cesar, tells the following
story:
Callimachus, a Corinthian architect.
was one day sitting, lost in thought. in
burial place just outside the city
when bis attention was drawn to the
tomb of Corinthian maiden of hum
BILE birth. The friends of the child had
placed on her grave a basket of her
toys, and this, covered with a tile to
keep out the rain, was placed over an
acanthus root.
The leaves of the plant had closely
surrounded the basket until they reach
ed the tile, when they had curved out
ward and downward very gracefully
This so struck the fancy of CALI
machus that he set about initiating the
figure. His attempts eventually re-
suited in the invention of the Corinthi-
an style, in which the vase of the cap
ital represents the basket, the abacus
the tile, and the volutes the bending
leaves.
The era of Callimachus is uncertain,
but as the Corinthian column was used
by Scopas, the architect of the temple
of Athena Alea at Tegea about 39a
B. c., he must have lived before thai
time.
