An article in the Burlington Maya
zine describes sCme early English
earthenware drinking cups of eccentric
patterns. The principal feature of most
OF the quaint tygs, or loving cups, is
their astonishing number OF handles,
which range from two to as many as
twelve. 1t is supposed that the purpose
Of this equipment was that the cup
might pass from hand to hand and
each guest have a fresh portion Of the
rim to himself, no doubt an excellent
arrangement for the first time round!
Not content with half a dozen or so Of
full grown handles, the potter frequent
ly inserted between each of them a
sort Of rudimentary handle, consisting
Of a looped strip of clay. The ''fud-
ding cup" is a cluster of half a dozen
good sized cups joined together. When

THE SINGING BULLET.
II o Hear 1t Whiz, You May BE
Sure 1t Won't Hit You.

II Hear 1t Wink, You May BE
sure 1t Won't Hit You.
Don't be afraid of a bullet that
you've heard whistle" said an old SOL
der. IF it sings in your ear rest as
sured that it will never harm you. It
is a fact, rs any old soldier will tell
you, that you V hear the bullet
which hits you. 1t is a problem Of
'windage,' as the boys in the army call
ed it. In other words, the bullet which
You hear sing has already sped past
you and the bullet which hits you has
Kissed in the ear of some other fellow
in passing before it got to you. 1t is a
simple proposition, after all. The sing
Ing of the bullet is the atmospheric vi
bration which is created and the resist
ance which the air offers to the prog
ress OF the bullet. This cannot be de-
tected by the a until the bullet has
crossed a parallel line with the ear. 1t
may sail over your head or whiz close
to the ground, but if it passes you at
all the ear will catch the sound of it's
fight. To the soldier of many battles
the voice of the bullet is music. He
knows that he need have no dread Of
the bullet that sings in his ears. 1t is
the bullet that he does not hear that
must be feared, and it is this bullet
which always brings harm to him. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which in
ficted a wound on him.'-New Orleans

English SmuUrlers.

Smuggling was carried on with great
holiness in England a century ago.
When Samuel Pellew was appointed
collector Of customs at Falmouth early
last century he found corruption the
chief characteristic Of the service. One
day he surprised a party of his own
men attempting to smuggle in a cargo
of wine in broad daylight. Pellew, who
was a conscientious man, so worried
the smugglers that they threatened his
life repeatedly and posted bills offering
a reward for his assassination. One
smuggler, who kept a public house,
erected a battery Of guns to defend his
illicit goods, and when a sloop Of war
exhibited what he considered a too in
quisitive spirit actually fired on her.
The vessels guns were too low to re-
ply with effect, but her crew landed in
boats, attacked the house in the real
and leyeled 1T to the ground.

Impression. while prown,ne.

Most of us, | expect, at some time or
other have wondered what it feels like
to be drowned. If we have never seen
any one drowning we mean by this
that we wonder whether it is at all
like what it is represented to be-
whether ones whole past life passes
before ones eyes like a dream, wheth-
er one spends ones last few moments
in wishing n had spent more profita-
bly, the last few years. If we have seer
people drowning we wonder whether it
feels as bad as it looks. Now, l cannot
pretend to have been nearly drowned.
Nor car l say what it feels like to sink
after a prolonged struggle in calm wa
ter within sight Of land. But I a say
what 1t feels like to be quite convinced
that n is going to be drowned, and l
am happy to know from personal ex-
perience that the feeling is one merely
of disappointment. One is simply an
noyed, certainly not angry, certainly
not afraid.-Hubert Walter in Black

COLLAR N CRAVAT

Ways In Which They Affect the APP
pearanco of the Wearer.
Men who do not want to look any
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy a of accomplishing
their purpose. Not all of them are
aware of the effect that may be created
by the form of a collar or cravat.
1.-THE stout man who wants to look as
thin as he can," said q ~haberdasher's
clerk, Ought to wear a tie Of the kind
known as a four-in-hand. Preferably
1t should be dark in color and drawn
tight. That carries down the line Of
the face and lengthens it to a degree
that tends to make the face look thin
ner.
another aid to making a man look
thin is in the height of his collars.
Stout men who want to look thin
should e high collars and closed
ones. Any collar that opens in front
makes oDe look stouter under nearly
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men.
"The fat man should avoid the kind
Of tie that has a horizontal effect. This
will add pounds to his appearance-in
his face, at least.
ION the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout.
The broad scarfs have little effect on a
mans looks one way or the other.
When he wears them it is the collar
that makes the difference.
HE should therefore see that he
wears a high one that does not open if
he wants to look as thin as possible,
whereas if he wants to seem stouter an
open collar will produce that effect for
him."
