What wearied Him.

A friend once asked an aged man
what caused him to complain so often
at eyentide of pain and WEAKNESS.
ALAS" replied he, 81 have every day
so much to do. l have two falcons to
tame. two hares to keep from running
away, two hawks to manage, SER
pent to confine. lion to chain and q
sick man to tend and wait upon"
"Well, we'll" commented his friend,
"you are busy indeed, But l didn't
know that you had anything to do with
a menagerie. How, then, do you make
that out?'
"Why," continued the old man, Ills
ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which
I must guard diligently; the two hares
are my feet. which l must keep from
walking in the ways of sin; the two
hawks are my hands. which | must
train to work, that | may provide for
myself and those dependent on me as
we'll as for a needy friend occasionally;
the serpent is my tongue, which | must
keep ever bridled lest it speak unseem-
ly; the lion is my heart. with which l
have a continual fight lest evil things
come out of it, and the sick man is my
whole body. which is always needing
my watchfulness and care. All this
daily wears out my strength"

Stockings.

How many readers are familiar with
the history and origin of the most COM
mon articles they daily use? We eat,
drink, wear without thinking whence
or wherefore. Stockings were known
among the Romans more than 1900
years ago, as is proved by paintings
found in the ruins of Pompeii. They
were considered more ornamental than
useful. In the colder climate of northern
Europe they became necessity, and
the manufacture of them became a
recognized employment in the twelfth
century, when they were fashioned
chiefly of cloth. In the reign of Ed
ward II. they assumed a resemblance
to those now worn. At the courts OF
Spain and Italy they were fashioned of
silk and were made enormously large.
