Of an amiable Irish Judge, now no
longer on the bench. Among other
amusing tales told of him it is said
that on the occasion of "bar dim

did not reappear The company sat
patiently for some time till at
length, just as their hunger was get
ting the better Of their manners and
an emissary was being dispatched to
hunt up the missing Judge, his lord
ship appeared and explained, with
many apologies, that, imagining he
was retiring for the night, he had
undressed and got into bed. After
an hours snooze it suddenly struck
him that he had not yet dined, on
which he hurried down to his guests.

In a biography of Leech, the
painter, who at one time acted as
drawing master to Queen Victoria,
Mr.. W. p. Firth relates an amusing
story, illustrating her majesty's wit.
One day in the course of a lesson
the queen let her pencil fall to the
ground. Both master and pupil
stopped at the same moment to pick
it up, when, to the horror Of Leech,
there was a collision, the masters
head striking that of his royal pupil.
Before he could stammer out an
apology, however, the queen, smil-
ing, said:
"Well, Mr. Leech, if we bring our
heads together in this way l ought
to improve rapidly"

The Innocent Bottle.

BY the side Of a certain portion of
suburban railway stands a glue
factory which sometimes gives out a
particularly offensive smell. A lady
who was obliged to travel on this
line quite often always carried with
her a bottle Of lavender salts. One
morning an old farmer took the scat
beside her. As the train neared the
factory the lady opened her bottle
Of salts. Soon the whole car was
filed with the horrible odor of the
glue. The old farmer put up with
it as long as he could. Then he
shouted, "Madam, would you mind
putin the cork in that ere bottle ?"

The Dutch Are tho Greatest Users Of
Tobacco In Europe.


The Hollanders are perhaps Of
all the northern peoples those who
smoke the most. The humidity of
their climate makes it almost a ne
cessity, and the very moderate cost
Of tobacco renders it accessible to
all.
To show how deeply rooted is the
habit it is enough to say that the
boatmen Of the trekschuit, She
aquatic diligence of Holland, meas
IRE distance by smoke. From here,
they say to such and such a place it
is not so many miles, but SO many
pipes.
When YOU enter a house after the
first salutations your host offers you
cigar. When you take your leave
he hands you another and often in
sists upon filling your cigar case.
In the streets you see persons
lighting a fresh cigar with the burn
ing stump Of the last one without
pausing in their walk and with the
busy air Of people who do not wish
to lose a moment Of time or a
mouthful Of smoke. Many 90 TO
sleep with pipe in mouth, relight it
if they wake in the night and again
in the morning before they step out
Of bed.
1t really does appear that smok-
ing IS for the Dutchman a necessary
vital function.
Many people think that so much
smoke dulls the intelligence. Never
theless if there be a people, as Es-
quiroz Justly observes, whose intel
lect is Of the clearest and highest
precision it is the Dutch people.

our second breath" Another de-
fined the cigar as the sixth finger Of

Needles In ENGLAND.

Needles were first made in Lon
don by negro from Spain in the
reign Of Queen Mary. He died, how
ever, without impsrting the secret
Of his art, and it WAS lost until 1865,
when it was recovered in the reign
Of Elizabeth, and Elias Growse, a
German, taught the art to the Rng-

was then again lost to England for
nearly a century, but about 1850 it
was recovered by Christopher Green

EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.

A recent writer says of Catherine
the Great, empress of Russia from the
year 1862 to 1896, that while playing
whist one night she could not get her
page to answer the bell. After she
had rung twice again without effect
she left the room, looking daggers,
and did not reappear for a consider
able time. The company supposed
that the unfortunate page was destin-
ed for Siberia or at least the knout-
As a matter of face, Catherine on en-
tering the anti-cramber found the lit

same game she had been playing.

could not make up his mind to quit

that it has plenty of ammunition in the

ed that will cure Diabetes.
Il have a genuine case of Diabetes.
I have taken seven boxes of Dodd's

They have helped me SO much that I

believe that if I had conformed strict

been completely cured"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured hun
dreds of cases of Diabetes and never

what will cure Diabetes will cure any

Just exactly what Dodd's Kidney Pills
do. They cure all kidney diseases
