what the Pixies In Tipperary Waters

There is a professional fisherman of
my acquaintance in Tipperary who
kills many pike during the winter
months, for which he finds ready sale
In the town. He told me of one GUS
toner of his who was in the habit Of
SO beating him down in price that he
felt justified in resorting to somewhat
questionable means to increase the
weight of his fish. In the manner of
the winner of the stakes in the cele-
brated jumping Frog" sporting event,
he would introduce some weighty sub
stance into their interior, stones, bits
Of iron railing, etc.
Once he went so far as to stuff two
old handless flatirons he had picked
from refuse heap down the gullet of
one before taking it to his customer.
who, having weighed it carefully and,
after much haggling, paid him frac-
ton less per pound for it than he might
have perhaps obtained elsewhere. Meet
ing him next day, he was instantly
aware there was trouble In the wind
by the opening remark, what do pike
feed on, PaddyY "Och and indade,
your honor, but there's mighty little
that comes amiss to thin lads" he an
swered. Frogs and fish, sticks and
shtones they like well, but they would

A Remarkable Woman.

In the edition of Thomas Pennant's
~Tour In Scotland" printed at War
rington by w. Eyers In 1774, among
other fine engravings Is a portrait Of
"The Old Countess of Desmond" in
Dupplin castle, N. B., and particulars
Of her age are given in the text. This
portrait represents her at the age Of
120, firm mouthed, strongly marked
woman who lived to the great age Of
40. She was the daughter Of Fitz-
gerald Of Drumana, in Ireland, and
married in the reign Of Edward Nv.
James, fourteenth earl of Desmond.
She was in England in the same reign
and danced at court with the kings
brother, the Duke Of Gloucester, and
died in the reign Of James I. The year
before her death, when 139, she took a
journey to London to solicit relief from
the king, the Desmond "house" having
been reduced to q state Of poverty
Francis Bacon in his History Of Life
and Death" states that this lady did
dentise twice or thrice, casting her old
teeth and other coming in their place.

THE FIRST HENCHMEN.
They Were Young Mobiles Who Acted
as Pages to the King.

They Were Young Mobiles who Acted
as Pages to the King.
Skeat derives the word henchman
from hengstman (Anglo-Saxon), horse
man, groom. 1t is probable that bench
men were in the first instance young
mobiles who at state ceremonies attend
ed on the king as mounted pages.
History speaks Of these henchmen In
this capacity, for we read that Henry
vi. had three and Edward Nv. six Of
them. We find, too, that they were
mentioned in the royal ceremonies as
belonging ito the riding household"
and took part in tournaments.
The last time "henchman" Is men,
toned in connection with the court is
in the reign Of Henry VIII, and grad
ually it came to mean an ordinary
page. The word is used by Ben JON
son and Shakespeare In this sense.
In an English journal Of April 9,
1861, Mr.. w. Henchman claims that
his family took their name from words
spoken by Henry VII. to an ancestor
in the hunting field, who had ridden
as his page throughout an arduous
day. "Crossborough," cried the king,

SUSPENSION BRIDGES.
They Were Common In Peru In the
Days Of the Incas.

They Were Common In Peru In tho
Days of the Incas.
Suspension bridges, some Of them OF
considerable length, were common In
Peru In the days Of the Incas. They
were formed Of cables Of twisted osiers
passed over wooden supports and
stretched from bank to bank, then
bound together with smaller ropes and
covered with bamboos. The road from
Cuzco to Quito is still noted for frail
bridges Of this sort, which are In con-
slant use and span deep chasms.
The Chinese also, according to
Kircher, have for centuries been ia
miliar with the suspension" theory
and have constructed chain bridges in
which the weight of the roadway is
supported by the tension of the chains.
The first iron suspension bridge In
Europe was built over the Tees, near
Middleton, in 1741, for the use Of min
ers. Two chains were stretched in q
straight line, steadied by ties from
the banks below, and the roadway for
foot passengers was supported by the
chains.
The modern suspension system prac-
tically dates from 1916, wffen bridges.

A scotch school STORY.

DR.. Kerr, a Scotch minister. tells this
story Of his visit to village school:
"The lesson was one giving an account
of a clever dog which had rescued
child from drowning. 1t was said
that the dog was caressed by the par
ents of the child. I asked what was
the meaning of caressed, and the an
swer came at once, Made of fond led
On referring to the list Of words at
the top of the lesson I found the ex-
PLANTATION given was made Of, fondled.
Wishing to find out If any child i'm the
class had got glimmering of the
meaning, l went from top to bottom
and got from every child nothing but
made of fond led,' pronounced as four
words, to which they attached no
meaning whatever. The teacher was
surprised that was not satisfied with
the intelligence of the teaching"
