The Capital.

1t is not generally known, says the
Philadelphia Record, but it is fact Of
history nevertheless that Bristol town
ship, lying on the east side Of German
town, had very narrow escape from
being selected as the site Of the capital
of the United States. 1t was very
small matter that turned the choice to-
ward Maryland and Virginia. So posi-
tive were some members Of congress
that the capital was going to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as a
matter Of speculation, but simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place.
When the vote of the commissioners
was taken there was tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District Of
Columbia. Washington cast the decid-
ing vote, and Bristol township was left
out in the cold

CnnGIoIieEnt.

In domestic lighting for nearly the
first half Of the last century candles
held undisputed sway. The bell is
rung, and Mary brings in candles, a
pair of molds in tall brass candlesticks
brightly polished, with snuffers on a
tray-a sharp beaked snuffers of steel,
with jaws that opened and shut with a
snap and something sinister in their
appearance.
There were plated candlesticks and
snuffers, too, for occasions of state,
with silver branches that suggested the
spoils Of Jerusalem, but there was also
a lamp, stately edif1ce of bronze that
lowered over the family circle at times
and shed generous and genial light
when SO inclined. But what a demon
it was to smoke and to smell! Ard it
would burn, when it condescended to
burn at all, nothing but the very finest
sperm oil at fabulous price per gal.

Rushing the business.


The following story is told of one
time Pennsylvania legislature:
The session was about to expire. In
accordance with the usual custom, the
chair was occupied by rapid worker
who was deaf to objections and blind
to DIRECTORS. His name was Alexander
Mcclure. Under his able management
the bills were going through at a
lightning express I@te when one meas.
ure was reached that was particularly
obnoxious to a noisy minority. Utter
~ oblivious to the demonstration, Mr.
Mcclure declared that the bill had
passed. Over in one corner of the leg
islative chamber one member was espe-
cially yociferous. He would not be
quoted, and Mr.. Mcclure was finally
compelled to notice him for the sake
of peace.
For what purpose does the gentle
man rise?" asked the chair.
Il want to offer an amendment tC
the BILL" was the reply.
"Too late" said Mr.. Mcclure, with
out smile "Offer it to the next bill.
The clerk will read"

A Good Book Keener.

w. P. James writes: "Book borrow

must understand that for themselves
churlishness is an essential virtue. I
recall good story told by Ashly Sterry
Of book collector who solemnly warn
ed him against ever lending a book
and who to enforce his moral led him
to well stocked bookshelf in his own
house, saying: Look at those shelves.
Every book on them was lent to me-"

"Nosey" Cromwell.

Oliver Cromwell had a head large in
proportion to his body. His features
were rugged and unprepossessing. He
had three or four warts on his face,
one being on the side Of his nose. He
wore a small mustache and imperial,
after the fashion of the times. His
complexion was bronzed by exposure
to the sun, and he had fiery red nose
of generous proportions that gave rise
to many nicknames, '"The Almighty
Nose," "Nosey," 1.-THE Copper Nosed
Saint" His Noseship" and "Rosy
Nose" being among the least compli-
mentary.

Swallows Nests.

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of prepared
road mud. Most of the material is OBJ
tanned from the drying puddles on the
highroads. If not mixed with any
thing else the tendency Of these pei
lets would be to crumble when dry.
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
a mucous secretion which enables it to
gum the particles together.
