East Cambridge, took long walk
last Saturday. Percy had written a
letter to his grandmother Caswell of
Johnson, and had written it so we'll
that his mother said he might send it
to her, and after dressing the child
rem Saturday morning, in rubber
boots and other clothing suitable for
the sugar woods, sent them to mail
it. They evidently concluded that
the safest way to get grandma's let
ter to her was to deliver it personal
ly. So they took the direct road to
Johnson and kept it until they ar
rived here about 10 o'clock a. NJ, a
distance of five long miles. Needless
to say grandma was both surprised
and delighted and Immediately tele-
phoned the safe arrival of the small
travellers to the parents and Sunday

span of big grey horses carried them
safely home.

Sterling Coin.

The origin of STERLING" as applied
to coined money is thus given in "a
Short Treatise Touching Shcriffs' Ac.
counts" by Sir Matthew Hale, 1858:
Current coin of the realm is of gold
or silver, with an alloy of copper. at
least from the time of Henry l., and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spelman supposeth 1t to take that
name from the Esterlings, who came
over and reformed our coin, to that
Olloy-of this opinion was Camden,
Possibly in those times a Peny was
called Sterling, without any other
reason than the use of the times, as
other names grow, for the old Act of
Henry III. tells us that Denarius An.
glice Sterlingus dicltur "a denarius, or
penny, is called in English a Sterllng),
and because this was the root of the
measure of silver coin; therefore all
our coin of the same alloy was also
called Sterling"

necklet or thali. At the wedding of the
daughter of leading native, Moulmein
there were present among the numer
Gus guests Il Hindoo maiden and hei
lover, whose suit had not SO far pro
gressed to his satisfaction. While the
wedding ceremony was in progress the
young man suddenly went up to hei
and before any one suspected what his
object was pulled out n thali from his
pocket and quietly tied 1t round heI
neck. or course there was hubbub as
well as parental lamentations over this
dramatic episode, but so great is the
veneration for the thali among Hin.
docs that no one dared to remove Il
from the neck of the astonshed maid
en-. All concerned, therefore, repaired
to the Marianne temple, where the
act was ratified, and the maid who went
to the wedding of her friend fancy
free left the scene as the legal wife OF
a bold and successful husband.-L

The Old Time Skinner.

Inmates of the wardroom on an

the captain as the old man or the skip
per. The latter is not, as many sup
pose, a slang term, but a sound word
Of excellent etymology and valuable as
carrying within itself an interesting
bit of commercial history. Skipper is
simply shipper, and 1t comes down
from time when every commander
was as well part owner of vessel and
cargo, or literally, the shipper. There
are still scores of local shipyards along
the Atlantic coast, some of them the
outgrowth of private yards where the
''vessel owners" of years ago built
their own ships to carry their own and
their neighbors' crops to market.

Laying all jokes aside, what excuse
has an old bachelor for living? Posi-
bly, the better one is that he can't helr
it or that it is no fault of his that he
is or that he continues to exist. These
observations are made from the old
maids point of view, which seems tc
be the point from which the old bach.
elor is viewed. There are other view.
points from which he appears to better
advantage, particularly at first glance,
but when the halo of sentiment which
he has gathered around him has been
blown away even these points do not
offer enhancing views. The fact re-
mains, however, that he still exists and
still has natural force enough to de-
velop halo of sentiment that is more
or less attractive to the opposite sex,
if not really magnetic, and strong
enough to draw attention to him, and
respectful attention too. The bachelor
ought to know why he is as he is, and
20 doubt he does, but for some reason
or other he has not been entirely sue.
cessful in satisfying the public that his
reasons are good and sufficient. 1t is
up to him, therefore, to set public opin-
ion right concerning himself. - Pitts.

An Eccentric Lord.

Matthew Robinson Qord Rokeby),
prominent but eccentric Englishman
of the eighteenth century, became IA
nous for his long beard and his pro-
nOunced hatred of medical practitlon-
ers. In regard to the former it is said
that upon one occasion when going to
an election he stopped at an inn where
the country people, who had assembled
from miles around, took him for a
Turk and through this mistaken idea
almost worried me lord" to death.
His dislike for physicians was carried
to such an extreme that he left cod
icil to his will which was to the effect
that n favorite nephew was to be dis
inherited should he (the nephew in the
last illness of the lord let his sympa-
thies cause him to send for a doctor.
This having been made known to the
nephew when his uncle, the lord, was
in good health, it is needless to add he
allowed that persons spirit to take its
flight without calling in any of the Gin
fernal surgical fraternity"
