Some Words Strange to You That Are
In the Dictionary.
The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in Webster's Diction-
airy is considerably larger than people
have any idea Of. The following letter,
written by an alleged poet to an editor
who had treated his poetry with deri-
sion, furnishes some idea of them:
'Sir-You have behaved like an i'm
petiginous scrogle! Like those who, en-
vious of any moral celsitude, carry
their ungicity to the height of creating

ty to abligate the tongues of the weet-

that any moral diarthrosis thereby

Criern nj the Paris HnIlen

The position of crier at the Paris
halles, or central markets, is one
which, in view of recent revelations III
a case before the law courts, ought not
to be despised. The men who cry Gait
nais fowls for sale earn EGO a month.
Those who sell Brittany fowls get ZIG a
month, and those who dispose of ducks
only receive E10 per month. Rabbits
bring the crier only "a pittance, for
GO month is all he gets. Not every
body can be a crier, for unless you
have sound vocal chords and passable
voice you will not be engaged. 1t also
requires n man with strong constitu-
ton, for the crier is at work from
o'clock in the morning till 8 o'clock in
the evening, and on an average he
should sell 1000 fowls per hour.-Lon-

A Poetic Family.

One day Mr.. Tait's premises were in
vaded by family consisting of father,
mother, son and two daughters, bear
ing ponderous manuscript volume Of
poems, 'all written by ourselves" as
the mother said in joyous key. The
title was "a Poem For Every Day In
the Year and Two For Sundays" by
Mr.. and Mrs. Mullingar and their son
and daughters. Mr.. TAFT was nom
plused, and the mother seemed inclined
to sit down and await his decision.
However, visitor opportunely arriv-
ing, they said they would call again.
They did so, but the publisher was
mot at home" and they were turned
over to Mr.. Bertram. who assured Mrs.
Mullingar, with his best air of wisdom,
that poetry never paid.
"And yet" said the lady in a re-
proachful tone, "Sir Walter Scott made
thousands of pounds by his poems."

chimed in one of the daughters, with a
severe look, "and other poets too. Look
at Rogersl
In vain was Mrs. Mullingar assured
that these were exceptional circum-
stances. She was confident their book
would sell. Mr.. Bertram at last got
out of the scrape by suggesting that,
as Mr.. TAFT was unwilling to publish
books of poetry, they should try Black
wood. He does not say whether Black
wood was duly grateful or whether he
published tie book, but as it has never
been heard of it is very probable he did
not.-Chambers' Journal.

Breaking 1t Gently.

Of the young man who was Earl of
Barrymore in the eighteenth century
Soon after he had become pupil al
Elton his grandmother, the Countess OF
Harrington, died, and the head master
Of the school was asked to break the
news gently to his sensitive pupil.
The master called the boy into
class room and asked him, with an
austere air, series Of questions in re-
gard TO his studies and then command
ed him to construe some lines from
Virgil. Before the task had been &C
complished he informed the pupil some
what harshly:
"Your grandmother is Ill, my lord,
but in the same breath babe him go or
with his Latin. After few more lines
had been construed he stopped him
again with the assertion:
"She is very i'll, my lordP'
The earl expressed his grief, but was
again ordered to proceed with his task
He obeyed, but was interrupted the
next moment by his masters exclama
