n,o rnce Of VerIaine.

An anonymous writer in To-Day
tells an interesting anecdote OF Visit
paid by Gladstone TO little bookshop
near the Odeon in Paris. As he en-
tered Gladstone saw a strange looking
man in conversation with the DOCK
seller and carrying an old copy OF VIZ
Ions poems. "Hls dress was ragged
and dirty, his face was matted WIN
hair and he had the eyes of an arch-
angel, with the mouth and Jaw OF a
baboon. Nevertheless the respectful
attitude Of the bookseller showed that
the man was personality. Gladstone
entered into conversation with him
about Villon and for an hour they
talked about early French poetry. Then
the stranger shufled out of the shop
Who is that gentlemany asked CLAD
stone. Tie has an extraordinary
knowledge of French poetry Mon
sieur he himself is our greatest poot.
Cest Paul Verlaine!

Though the truth of the story that
King james 1. of England once knight
cd loin Of beef is disputed, the house
in which the ceremony is said to have
occurred is pointed out. as well as the
table on which the sirlOin lay. The
scene of the historic jest lies between
Highams park and ChingfOrd. near
London. It is a curious house with
quaint, low pitched ceilings and fine
garden with fruit trees Of great size.
It was on his return from one Of his
hunting expeditions in Epping forest
that the British Solomon is said to
have given practical proof of his favor
for the roast beef Of old England.

In days Of old the tinker bold, when
called to mend a pot, would build a
dam Of molstened meal around the
leakage spot. The melted solder thus
was made within due bounds to stay,
but when the solder solid was the dam
was thrown away. And 80 the meal.
then useless as a Lake COchituate clam,
became a symbol; hence we say "Not
worth a tinkeTs dam. ROLLER Monthly.

Three Curious Epitaphs.

In a cemetery near Dublin the fol
lowing words appear on a tombstone:
Here lies John Hurley. whose father
and mother died while on their way
bone from America. II they had lived
they would have been buried here"
The following epitaph adorns the
tomb Of a gravedigger IN the Taibach
cemetery IN the south Of Wales:
"Hurah, comrades, parson Is dead!
If he had lived ba would have buried
all of u.s."
Here is another curious epitaph
which was recently discovered; 1t
marks the grave Of an interchangeable
smoker and contains only the following
four words:
"My pipe is out"
