Iloyd.s In Time OF Anxiety.


Only recently great Atlantic liner
was announced TO be three days over
due. On the third day there was no
noticeable advance in the rate charged
for those who had neglected to insure
property shipped upon ii, but on the
fourth day, when anxiety as to both
the passengers and the property on
board had increased, 1t was ominously
announced from Lloyd's that the rate of
insurance upon that particular vessel
had been advanced to $40 in $500. This
was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, when
no further news had been heard, the
rate had jumped to S25 in the $500.
On Thursday ii reached $50, and by
Friday the enormous sum of 500 in
5000 was declared to be the rate in any
and all manner of insurance upon the
missing vessel. 1t is needless to say
how horribly these announcements con-
hrmed the anxious fears of those most
deeply concerned in the arrival of the
vessel. for all the world knows that if
there is any hope ii will be longest
found at Lloyd's. 1t is also needless to
say that when the great liner in cues
ton finally reached her dock in New
York nowhere was there greater re-
Joicing at the announcement than in
the room where ii was toIled out by
the bell OF the Lutine ana read by the

SUNDAY IN OLD ENGLAND.
a Day oG Festivity Under the sano-
tion OF the King.


a Day oG Festiyity Under the sano-
tion OF the King.
For considerable period prior to the
English revolution Sunday was a day
OF great festivity aud high reyeIry I'm
the old country. Incredible though 1t
may appear, its observance was gov
erned ana ordered by a paradoxical
royal declaration issued 10y James L.
This document is generally known as
the Book OF Sports In its preamble
it recites royal rebuke administered
TO "soIne Puritanes and precise people,
for prohibiting o unlawful Furnishing
Of Our good people for using their law
full Recreations and honest exercises
upon SundayeS and other holy days
after the afternoone sermon or service"
and then he refers TO "the general
complaint Of our people, that they We're
barred from all lawful Recreation and
exercise upon the Sundayes afternoonc,
which cannot but produce two evils.
the one the hindering of the conversion
of many, whom their priests will take
occasion hereby to vexe, persuading
them that no honest mirth or recrea-
ton is lawful or tollerable in our Re
llSion which cannot but breed n great
diScontment in our peoples hearts.
The other Inconvenience is that this
prohibition barreth the common and
meaner sort of people from using such
exercises as may make their bodies
more able for Ware when we or our
SUCCESSORS shall have occasion to use
them.'
Then follows the royal mandate chat
no lawful Recreation shall be barred to
our good People" and "the Bishop
and all other inferior Churchmen and
Churchwardens" and enjoined to ''bee
CAREFUL and diligent, both to instruct
the ignorant and convince and reforme
them that are misled in religion"
"Our pleasure likewise is that the Bish-
op of the Diocese take the like straight
order with all the Puritans and Preci-
slams within the same, either contrain-
ing them to conforme themselves or to
leave the country, according to the
Lawes of Our Kingdome and Canons
of our Church." This declaration pro-
ceeds to define lawful Recreation" as
Dancing, either men or women; arch
erie for men, leaping, vaulting or any
OlhCA ShNh hCNItdllOus
ing May games, Witsun-Ales and Nor
ris-dances and the setting up of May
poles and other sports Herewith used.
But withall wee doe here accompt still
as prohibited all unlawful games to
lie used upon Sundays onely, as Beare
and Bull baitings, Interludcs and at all
times in the meaner sort of People by
Law prohibited, Bowling" A penalty
was inflicted upon those who did not
join in the Sunday sports, and no one
could take part in them without first
having attended divine service in the
parish church, which was also enforced
under pain of penalty.
In those days the clergyman would, in
obedience TO the royal decree, publicly
recite the Book of Sports from the
pulpit. After divine service he with
his churchwardens would proceed
with the congregation to the village
green, there TO indulge in all kinds Of
lawful recreation" While the sports
were going on il was the custom for
the parson and his churchwardens to
retire TO the adjoining inn.-Baltimore

A West Philadelphia druggist who
recently became the proud father of
his first baby was called to Baltimore
the other day on Il business trip. Early
in the afternoon the telephone bell in
his home rang. and his wife answered
the call. Hubby was ut the other end
in Baltimore. at seemed so funny not
to hear the baby crying" came the
voice over the wire, that couldn't
stand il any longer. Can't you bring
him TO the phone so l can hear him ~
Wifey woke the child up out of a sound
sleep, and he very accommodatingly
began TO bawl at the top OF his lungs
into the rcceiver while his mother held
him i'm her arms. This continued until
the baby had cried so cents worth over
the long distance wire. when the happy
father rang off.-Philadclphia Record.

Child study.

The time at which a child should be-
gin 10 study is n vexed question OF cd
ucation, and one which shows no signs
OF being settled. The superintendent
OF the Quincy (Afass) schools raised
the question n few days since and as
serted that n child should not be sent
to school until Ii was seven. Other
educators, however. do not agree with
him. President eliot OF Harvard
thinks the little girl or boy should en-
ter the kindergarten at four, and the
superintendent Qf the Boston schools
Edwin =. Seavcr, suggests five as a
suitable age at which TO begin the
school life. The superintendent OF the
Cambridge schools. Frank Cogswell
thinks that even three Is not too carly
for the kindergarten.

ONE .AN,s CAREER.

NJ rr,s.,s. :. x.y..

Result OF FtaiStnE himself once Coy
az lotISing "a week.
BE good Co the Office boy is a moral
taught 10y the career Of William Alden
Smith of Michigan. He had saved
little money and wanted a place TO
study Blackstone. This was I'm 1879.
DE thought nrst of Chicago and even
went SO TAR as To 20 To that city and
apply for Al place as Office boy in the
firm Of Walker & Dexter. But it was
in the summer, and the heads were all
out OF town, and he ended 10y return
ing TO Grand Rapids. Here he selected
the firm of Burch * Montgomery. He
had suggested this before. but they had
not needed him. He was this time con-
fronted by a closed Office and n card
tackled ON the door saying they were
out OF town and would not be back for
several weeks.
But this did not daunt Smith. who
looked up Mr.. Pierce, the owner of the
building and man of some promi-
hence in the town. lie told Pierce
what he wanted and finally persuaded
him to give him pass key TO the office.
And so it happened when Judge Burch
returned he found his Offices swept and
garnished and brisk young clerk dill
gently reading at one of the desks. To
the inquiries of the Judge the young
fellow replied that he had come to
stay; that he was the office boy ut
nothing a week. All he wanted, he
said, was chance to make himself
useful and incidentally to read little
law. Things were kept so clean and
the young man was so respectfully de-
termined to remain that Judge Burch
good naturedly acquiesced.
In seven years Smith was a member
of the firm. In seven years more he
was part owner in the principal news
paper in the place and proprietor of a
branch railroad. In another seven
years he had added two more railroads
to his assets and was I'm congress.
Meantime the wheel of fortune has
been turning. Montgomery is on the
bench of the Michigan supreme court;
Judge Burch through the influence of
his former Office boy has been appoint
ed assistant TO the United States at
torney general and resides in Washing
ton, while Pierce, who had met with
financial reverses, was rewarded for
the pass key which he had given Smith
by an appointment as assistant ser
geant ut arms of the United States
house of representatives.-W Washington

Ralph wALDo EMERsoN,

The lecture that Mr.. Emerson de-
livered for us boys Of the library COM
mittee in Waltham was entitled INA
ture." We paid him So and four quarts
OF oats for it, He delivered ii many
times afterward, when his name was
on every lip in the civilized world, and
he received from $50 to $500 for each
delivery. He was just as great then in
that hour in the little old town OF Wal
than. 1t was the same lecture with
the same exquisite thought and mar
velous wisdom, but it took years for
the world TO recognize the greatness
and the beauty and the wisdom of him
and TO value them at their higher
worth.

by comparing $50 and four quarts of
