The Linn of ST. Mark.

The symbol Of the Venetian repuo'lc
the famous lion of st. Marks maze
of bronze. There is tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, az
ates. faceted. Its name is most elaDo-
rately wrought, and its retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches give
ii an oriental aspect.
The creature as it now stands belongs
TO many different epochs, varying from
some date previous to our era down 10
this century. 1t is conjectured that II
may have originally formed a part OF
the decoration of some Assyrian palace.
st. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up in front to allow the evangei
to be slipped under its fore paws.

The Williams and Johns.

It would be difficult, If not impossi-
bic. to estimate the relative frequency
of names prioy-to the Norman conquest,
which created something like a reyo-
luton. William" of course, got
good start, as is shown in 'Doomsday
Book" where stand 6S Williams, 40
Roberts. % Walters and 10 Johns. In
1173 Sir William st. John and Sir VIII
liam Fitz-Hamon entertained a dinner
marty at the court of Henry III. Inc
invitations were limited to knights OF
the name of. William, and the company
numbered 100.
But the day of John" was not long
TO tarry, and in 1347 the common couh-
oil of London contained 80 Johns, ~
Williams. 10 Thomases, 10 Richards,
Roberts, and in 1885 out of 376 names
enrolled in the Guild Of st. George al
Norwich there were 1913 Johns, AZ VIII
liams. Al Thomases. From that day &c
this John and William have held theil
ground az the commonest baptismaI
names in England.

Ancient LegaI statute.

The provision of the Virginia code ex-
empting from service on the grand jury
the owner or occupier Of a grist mill,
says Law Notes, is an interesting exam
pie of a law which has been allowed to
remain on the statute book long AFTER
its usefulness and the condition that
called it into being have ceased to exist
When the statute was passed, serious
inconvenience to the citizens of the sur
rounding country might have arisen as
a result OF summoning mill owner
from his work, but the mill owner is
no longer so important member of the
community.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt,s Little Early Risers do not grippe
nor weaken the system. They cure bilious
ness, jaundice, constipation and inactive
livers, by arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet effectually, and giving such
tone and strength to the glands the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause Of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous little pills
exert decided tonic effect upon the organ in
volvcd, and if their use is continued for a few
days there will be no return Of the trouble.
