I grant that your name may be very important one on earth. How important it is but few of us, even the humbest, realize. We are all Americans. To be American means we belong to the most bonored nation on earth. Many years ago two travel stained Americans alighted from the railroad train in the French capital. No sooner had we registered at the ho- tel than we heard that a great statue was to be unveiled that afternoon, at which some of the greatest orators of France were to speak.

A Comedians Joke.

A celebrated Irish comedian went in

finding the barber out, he determined
to have little fun before his return.
So he took off his coat, put on a thin
ner one and quietly waited for a Gus

ber
The old gentleman took chair and
the comedian began to lather, expect
ing every moment the barber would
appear. Five minutes passed and no
barber. Five more and still no barber.
The joker began to get desperate and
conceived a bright idea. Putting up
his brush lie quickly changed his coat
again. took his hat, and was about to
quietly step out behind the gentle
mans back when that worthy turned
his head and exclaimed:
Here, sir, aren't you going to shave

FlOgsing.

The Jewish rabbis had a legend
which carries corporal punishment
back to the days of our first parents,
which is quantity reflected in that mod
ern schoolboy's play upon names, "Ad-
am Seth Eve Cain Abel"
OF course there is, too, the warning
of Solomon, "He that spareth the rod
hateth his son." or the old Egyptian
prcyerb, THE back of lad is made
that he may hearken to him that beats
it." but if we must go on history alone
the earliest records belong to the Ro-
mans, who practiced Jogging in sew

A Costly Comma.

A number of years ago when the
United States by its congress was max
ing a tariff bill one of the sections
enumerated what articles should be adj
mltted free of duty Among the many
articles specified were "al foreign fruit
plants" etc, meaning plants imported
for transplanting. propagation or ex-
pertinent The enrolling clerk in copy
ing the bill accidentally changed the
hyphen in the compound word fruit
plants" to a comma, making it read,
'all foreign fruits. plants" etc. As a
result of this simple mistake for n
year, or until congress could remedy
the blunder, all the oranges, lemons,
bananas, grapes and other foreign
fruits were admitted free of duty. This
little mistake. which any one would be
liable to make. yet could have avoided
by carefulness, cost the government
not less than 100000 A pretty cost

The custom of pairing is quite un-

self. Any mention of it within either
chamber would be altogether out of
order, but there is pleasant fiction
that it is a purely private arrangement
to be made at the discretion of those
concerned This is true enough to a
limited extent and for short time,
but pairing on any great party division
cannot be lightly carried out, and a
member who desires to pair at such n
time will find that this can only be
done safely through the whips and not
at all unless some really good reason
can be given for absence. - London

First Book Auction.

Speaking of auctions and auctioneers,
n book dealer says The first book
auction in England of which we have
any record is of a date as far back as
1910, when the library of DIR. Seaman
was brought TO the hammer. Prefxed
TO the catalogue there is an address
which thus begins: Reader. it hath not
been usual here in England to make
sale of books by way of auction, or
who will give the most for them; but.
it having been practiced in other coun-
tries to the advantage of both buyers
and sellers, it was therefore conceived
for the encouragement of learning) to
publish the sale of these books in this
