True Generosity.

A charming story of the late queen
of England vouched for by Mr.. A. F.
Story, is told in the Childhood of
Queen Victoria" 1t is so consistent
with the queens known kindness of
heart that it speaks for it's own
truth.
The Princess Victoria had set her
heart on buying doll she had seen
in a shop window; but her mother,
the duchess of Kent, would not let
her buy it until her next allowance
of pocket-money was due.
At last the day came, and the prin-
cess hurried to the shop, paid over
the six bright shilings, and got the
long-coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with
her treasure in her arms, the prin-
cess encountered wretchedly mis-
cradle tramp, who plucked up cour-
age enough to ask for help. The
princess hesitated moment; then,
realizing that she no longer had any
money left for the man, she returned
to the shopkeeper and gave him back
the doll. He gave her the six shill-
ings, promising also to keep the doll
for her for few days.
Then the little lady hurried out Of
the shop and thrust the whole of the
money into the hands of the beggar.

THE THEATER TALKER.
An IntoIerabIe Nuisance Quickly and
Quietly Suppressed by q
Little Wit.

They had been reading Rolfe ammo
tated edition of the play, and there wa:
nothing in Julius Caesar" that they
were not perfectly familiar with. Before
the performance was half through Their.
was nothing that they knew which every
body within half dozen rows did not
hear about; for among the three of them
"a man and two women-there were
such capacities for superfuous converse.
ton as are met with nowhere except in
a theater, says the New York Mail and
Express.
In tones that alternately Kissed and
prayed and rasped till spinal columns all
around them ached they told one another
that Antony was much better done than
Brutus, that Portia would come on in q
minute in the garden scene; that Casca
was supposed to be gruff old Roman;
that Caesar actually did have fts-think
of it! that it was a pity (this in whis
per that shivered far down the aisle and
splintered at least score of vertebrae)
Roman ladies didn't wear corsets. So on
ad nauseam.
At last the ghost and the distraughi
Brutus met and there was a thrilled 81
dence in all the crowded house save in
row Q, where strident voice complained:
ri can't hear a word the ghost says
Why doesn't he speak louder?"
A man behind the querulous disturber
quite beside himself with rage, leaned for
ward and said in tones as courteously
sweet as the sting of honey bee:
Perhaps the ghost is a gentleman, and
does not like to annoy people"
Which. of course, was very rude. though
it did fill MANY hearts with an unholy joy

An An0iYSiS.

A short time since "Cub," one of
the negro characters OF Columbus,
Miss, was standing at the artesian
well in the middle of Main street,
catching bucket of water, when a
big, black. pompous-loolking negro
preacher walked up, and, being a
stranger in the town, asked: "Brud-
der, lin yo' tell me if dis am good
water?"
''Cub" answered very proudly,
standing straight with his head
thrown back, Good water? Well, !
reckon, niger, dis am good water.

"THE OLD ORDER cHANosTH."

A Stone-Age man came back to life
To view the world again.
He thought ne saw centipede
And found 1T was train.
He found a mighty monster which
Was snorting in a dell;
It's driver gently swore at 1t
And pupped it up as well;
He took 1t for mastodon,
Too fat to travel far;
Instead of that it was toy
They called a motor car.
He found a bloody battlefield
Between two hunting packs;
They said it was a football match
He offered them his AK.
He saw some doctors in a ward
Conducting P. M.
He fancied it might be a feast
And wished to join with them.
He went into a lecture room
And looked upon a shelf;
He thought he saw skeleton
And found it was himself.
While in still suburban street
He heard a German band;
He said that they were dangerous
And killed them out of hand.
He went into a smart Eat home"
Where danes in conclave sit;
But that was more than he could stand
He persisted in a fit.

RAIL AND TIE.

The first electric railway was that
of Siemens, of Berlin, in 1879.
Next summer tourists in Switzerland
will be able to go to the Engadine
by rail.
Last year SO bridges were destroyed
by earthquakes in Japan, on the rail
way line from Toxic to Kobe.
Another African railway, $40 miles
in length, is to be built by English
capitalists on Portuguese territory,
from Benguella east to the Angola
frontier.

Fourth Century Shorthand.

That shorthand was used in the an.
Client world is we'll known, but our In
formation Is still scanty, and any ad-
dition is welcome. 1t may therefore
be worth knowing that there is in the
Armenian ACTS of st. Callistratus''
a reference to the employment of ste
biography. A translation of this is in
cluded In Mr.. F. c. Conybeare's AR
menian Apology and Acts of Apollo
MUS and Other Monuments of Early
Christianity" The account of Cal
listratus was probably written in the
first half of the fourth century. 1t IN
cludes several long addresses of CALI
stratus to his fellow soldiers in expla
nation Of the mysteries of the new
faith for which he and forty whine Of
his comrades became martyrs. Per.
haps with view to giving them au
thority as verbatim reports, the com.
piler says:
But there was a certain scribe Of
the law court who was near to the
prison, and he listened to the discourse
of Callistratus. and he wrote 1t down
In shorthand on paper and gave it to
US, and we set in order with all &C.
curacy the record and outline OF his

Theokeray.a Facial Appearance.

In 1919 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte
wrote OF Thackeray: ITO me the broad
brow seems to express intellect. Ger
tain lines about the nose and cheek be-
tray the satirist and the cynic; the
mouth indicates a childlike simplicity,
perhaps even degree Of irresoluteness
in conslstency-weakness, in short, but
a weakness not unamiable." And Mr..
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858,
said: 81 believe you have never seen
Thackeray. He has the appearance of
q colossal infant-smooth, white, shin
Ing, ringlety hair, flaxen, alas, with adj
vancing years; roundish face with a
little dab Of nose, upon which it is a
perpetual wonder how he keeps his
spectacIes"
This broken nose was always a source
of amusement to Thackeray himself.
He caricatured 1t in his drawing, he
frequently alluded to it In his speech
and in his letters, and he was fond OF

him when he was to stand as godfather
