Not of Our killing.

When Senator Gallinger was pracuc-
ing medicine in his New Hampshire
home, he had a cOachman who was
character" worthy Of the attention
OF any writer of fiction. On one occa-
sion DR. Gallinger was called profess
sionally at q house next to a residence
on which was displayed black Grape as
q sign of death. A passerby, noticing
the Grape and not knowing who had
died there, supposed DIR. Gallinger was
in the house and that his coaehman
could give the desired information. The
coachman seemed TO take the inquiry
rs personal affront and bristled up
in martial style

". Its not of our killin'-it's not OF

Then he pulled his horse up so rs 10

Rain and Plants.

Many persons must have noticed that
the most diligent sprinkling Of lawns
and flower beds fails to impart to the
grass and plants a vital stimulus equal
TO that which comes from a good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
us of the reason for the difference. IL
is because rain, falling from great
height through the air, brings with 1t
n considerable quantity of carbonic
acid, Of heterogeneous particles and OF
other elements nutritious to plants
which 1t has washed out of the atmos-
phere. SO a sprinkler used from the
top Of a tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface of the ground.

MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 10, 1902,
.rhnmns n HecIset.

In 1888, when Henry VIII. rooted up
Thomas q Becket's grave and erased
his name from the scroll of saints, he
also ordered that all pictures, stained
glass windows and frescoes bearing up
ON the life Of this saint should be de-
stroyed. In some churches where st.
Thomas was held in special honor the
law was evaded by superimposing an
other picture over the forbidden one.
On the north wall Of the church at
South Newington, near Banbury, Eng
land. there is crudely executed fresco
of Chrlst's triumphal entry into Jerusa-
lem. From the effects Of age ana camp
this fresco is gradually disappearing
and now through the colossal donkey Oh
which our Lord is represented riulhg
can be seen the figure Of the murdered
archbishop prone on the chancel steps
Gradually, possibly, the whole under
living 4 esco of the murder of st. Thorn
as at Canterbury will come into view,
and it is evidently Of far higher artistic
merit than the hastily executed cover
ing one.

Ho.y She knew.

Apropos of the servant maid difficult
ty | heard a good story the other day.
The wife Of a very well known irish
official was in want of an under nurse
and among those who applied for the
position was a good natured looking
girl of about seventeen. "You tell me"
said the officials wife, that you are
very fond of children. That is all very
well in its way, but do you under
stand anything about the duties OF a
nursery? Have you any experience OF
childrenYo "Yis, num-" was the reply.

TroIiope Disagreed.

Although Anthony Trolope never
smoked. he liked being with those VINO
did. 1t soothed his nerves, he said, ana
sent him to sleep. On one OCCASION
when he had just returned TO London
from South Africa, he was talking nj
the Cosmopolitan club to Lord Carna'
Won. Lord Derby, Froude, the historian
Lord Wolseley and one or two others
equally famous on the future OF tlat
country. In the midst Of fine discussion
Trollope fell asleep, and after n quar-
ter Of an hours doze he awoke, shaking
himself together like the faithful
growing Newfoundland dog he so
much resembled. Dissentient even u
his unconsciousness, he spluttered
forth: Il utterly disagree with every
one of you. What is it you said!'
