An Anecdote of pisrae1i.

On one occasion Disraelrs habit Of
exaggerated adulation led to so bold an
attempt by the fair recipient to turn it
to her advantage that he was driven to
save the situation in a way that was
very far from being appreciated. The
charmer, young lady of advanced
views" finding the great man so ex-
ceedingly profuse in his attentions,
thought it an excellent opportunity for
making him a convert to her utopian
ideals, which were of the most daringly
democratic order. After a long recita-
ton of her propaganda she wound up
with fervid appeal to the prime min
lister to immortalize himself by espous,
ing her ingenious panacea for remedy
ing the wrongs of humanity. AS she
finished her impassioned harangue,
with flushed cheeks and flashing eye,

were printed in my own printing room,
room which I had especially arrang-

little printing room of mine that Whis-
tier taught me the art of printing from
the copper plate. This was my first
insight into Whistler as great mas

a great master was that he would
have perfection. No matter how small
the detail it must be perfect. To be-

excitement and scarcely know how to

Captain Bart1ett,s Three Cheers.

Captain Bartlett's Three Cheers.
A series of Revolutionary scenes
were given in London theater some
months after the close Of that memor-
able war. On the one side was the
English army in full red coated uni
form, with every button in its exact
place. Opposite them was the Ameri-
can army, composed, as the theater
bill stated, of artisans, cobblers and
tinkers," arrayed in their working
dress, with buttons of every size and
hue.
When the. curtain dropped, Captain
Bartlett of Plymouth, Mass, the cap
tain of a ship then in port, stood up in
his seat in the pit and in q voice as if
given from a quarter deck in squall
called, "Three cheers for the artisans,
cobblers and tinkers who were too
much for King George and his red
coats" and with a wave of his hat he
gave these with a will. For a short
time there was silence in the theater,
followed by an enthusiastic, John Bull,
appreciative cheer for the pluck and
assurance of the Yankee captain, who
became the lion of the city, receiving
invitations to clubs and free tickets to
theatrical and other entertainments
while he remained in port.-Boston

Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are nu-
merous legends of famous Indian
giant. 1t Is said that the rocks at Sea-
comet are the remains of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. He
turned his childrepinto fishes and emp
tying out his pipe one day formed Nan
tucket out of its ashes. This latter
story of Nantucket's source must ac-
count likewise for the well known story
of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up ON sound
ing. One day the lead was dipped in
some earth brought on board ship from
the island, and the captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great
excitement, exclaiming, "Nantucket's
sunk, and here we are right over old
Marin Hackett's gardenw Naturally

The Ton Hat.

Tall hats, "pearking up like the spire
Of steeple quarter of yard above
the crowne," as a sixteenth century
writer describes them, were known in
the time of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beaver of our
great-grandfathers' days. Top hats of
silk appeared first in Florence about
1900, and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England.
About 1910 the French silk hat was
placed on the market and at once
adopted in the familiar chimney pot"
shape. There were several varieties
Of 1t, such as the Wellington hat, with
the yeoman crown; the Anglesea hat,
bell shaped at the top, and the D'Orsay
hat, with ribbed silk binding and big
bow.
The color also varied. Thus the
Earl of Harrington started craze for
green top hats by wearing one in his
garden with the idea of not frighten-
ing the birds. He also tested his silk
hats by standing upon them. The top
hat, however, was never m favored
by any great parsonage as 70 account
for its general adoption.-London An

Bridge building Brotherhoods

1t was In France that brotherhoods
for building bridges first took shape.
In 117S a bridge was begun over the
Rhone at Avignon by Saint Benezet.
the head of body called Fratres Pom
It's, who undertook the building and
repairing of bridges during the middle
ages. A second soon followed at st.
Esprit.
About the same time Peter of Cole
church, the head of similar ,other-
hood in England, began the first stone
bridge over the Thames at London.
In many cases when a bridge was
built chapel was founded, to which
a priest was attached to pray for the
soul of the founder, to receive money
and to offer prayers with the passen-
gers for a safe Journey.
The strange Gothic triangular bridge
at Crowland, over three streams, allud-
ed to in charter of 943, was built by
the abbot of Crowland, and Abbot
Bernard built the Burton bridge over
the Trent, the longest in England, 1854
feet long, which carries the roadway
over thirty-six arches.-London Globe.

Got Hi. Money. Worth.

A lady palmist was recently prose
cuted, and an amusing incident was
noted in connection with the case. One
of the witnesses called by the police
was an individual who did not appear
to be overburdened with intelligence.
During a smart cross examination de-
fendant's counsel asked him:
"On first going into the room did you
pay a shilling fee to the defendant?'
"Yes," was the reply.
"What did she tell you in return for
the moneyT
"Oh," said the witness, ~she towld me
lots O. things, some on 'em true. some
on 'em half true an some on 'em lees. -
"Now," continued the counsel after
the laughter had died away, "this is
the point wish to get at: Was there
any attempt at imposition? Did the
lady impose upon you at all"
"Oh, dear, mop was the response. Il
knowed it wor all CANNON, so there
couldn't be no imposition. Besides, 1t

Eskimo Masks.

The Eskimo are the greatest Of all
mask makers. During their religious
ceremonials they impersonate their own
various gods, wearing masks for the
purpose, but the most curious thing is
that they wear little masks on their
fingers as well as big ones to cover
their faces. These finger masks, the
like of which are unknown anywhere
else in the world, usually represent the
sun. They are Of wood, carved with a
laughing or weeping face, and the rays
of the sun are represented by white
hair from the belly of the wild rein
deer set around as fringe. The sun is
the most important of the Eskimos' di-
whites, and the principal object of the
winter ceremonial is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.

Rope and Graphite.

Graphite is stated to be an excellent
preservative for manila rope. One
rope manufacturer treats the inner
yarns of each strand as well as the
core in a bath of lubricant, the in
gradients of which are graphite and
oil. This lubricant thoroughly per-
meates all the fiber, thus overcoming
internal wear, while sufficient comes
to the surface, and the lubricant does
not injure the rope.-London Engineer.
