Old English Gardening.

1t is a little curious to think that
even as far back as the middle ages
great quantity of garden stuff" was
imported into England from the CONT
nent. Although our ancestors were ia
nous in those days for their salads
and green's, they knew nothing about
the cultivation of edible roots until the
reign of Henry Will Up to then such
things as carrots, turnips and arti-
chokes were sent from Flanders, and
special messengers were sometimes
dispatched to bring back supplies for
the royal table. Among the green
vegetables most popular In Tudor days
was Good King Henry or Mercury
Gooseloot." Those who would like to
have a really old fashioned vegetable
in their gardens are advised to try
"Good King Henry" Nothing could
be easier to grow, and as it is a per-
ennial plant there is little or no trou-
BILE connected with it after 1t has once
been put In the ground. The young
leaves are used in the same way as
spinach, making an acceptable, mild
favored dish, and the young shoots are
cut under the ground and served up
like sparagus.-London Chronicle

THE ART OF EATING.
Food Must please the Mind a. W.

Food Must Please the Mind as Wen
as the Palate.
Pawlow has established the physio-
logical Importance of the mental state
on digestion, having shown, for in
stance, that delicacies produce secre-
ton of gastric juice as soon as they are
perceived by the eye, even before they
are eaten.
The food must not only be palatable,
but must be served in an attractive
manner-fine dishes, table decorations,
etc.
In eating we must take time to chew
our food thoroughly. This serves a
double purpose-first, through the act
of mastication the coarser particles Of
food are broken up; second, more sa-
Iva is secreted and is thoroughly mix
ed with the food The digestion Of
starch is thus materially aided, and
the proteids are made more easily ac-
cessible to the action of the gastric
juice.
Water should accompany each meal.
1t increases the appetite and the en-
joyment of food.
After eating we should rest little
while before returning to our work

He made no attempt to touch her.
On the contrary, he drew farther away,

must lie between them.

his treacherous memory gave him no
clew to her meaning.

Without more ado Mike set off for

Pats kinsfolk, he summoned help, ex-
planning that Pat had been knocked
"spachless" and was buried by the

"Who told We so?' was the unexpect-

Very pretty, Winifred," absently.

throng-the easy, debonair young men
In evening clothes, the girls with their
white dresses and futtering ribbons,
fitting about like gay colored but
tertiies beneath the swinging japanese
lanterns, congratulating, chatting,
moving on again in seemingly endless
procession.

WEDDING SUPERSTITIoNs.

The bridegroom who carries a minia
ture horseshoe in his pocket will always
be lucky.
The bride who dreams Of fairies on
the night before her wedding will be
thrice blessed.
Never give a telegram to bride or
bridegroom on the way to the church.
1t is a sure omen of evil
Marriages on board ship are consid-
cred unlucky. If you can't be married
on dry land, remain unwed.
The finding of a spider on the we'd
ding gown by a bride is considered a
sure token of happiness to come.
If during the marriage ceremony the
wedding ring should fall down, the
brides fate will not be an enviable
one.
If bride should by chance see a
coffin as she starts off on her wedding
tour, she should order the driver of the
carriage to turn back and start over
again.

ORIGIN OF WHIST.
The Game Was First Called Triumph
and Afterward Trump.

The Game Was First Called Triumph
and Afterward Trump.
Whist was first called triumph,
name which was afterward corrupted
into trump. The eighteenth century
saw whist in it's primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era Of Hoyle,
which may be said to have lasted from
1870 to 1850 and taught players to
think not only of their own hands, but
of the other hands also, and to take
advantage of the positions Of the cards
in them. Hoyle also taught that
trumps might be more proftably en-
ployed than in simple trumping and
showed that they might be used to dis
arm the adversary and to obtain Sec
ondary advantage in trick making by
other suits of less apparent power. 1t
was not until 1860 that the philosoph-
ical era can be said to have begun, and
the origin of the new movement was a
knot of young men at Cambridge, Eng
land, known as the Little Whist school.
This body kept records of its games,
but no one thought of making the data
known until 1861. Conference in the
system of play was still wanting, and
this was supplied In 1854 with DR..
Poles essay on the theory of the mod
ern scientific whist.

DAMS DEBT

Danny deliberately chewed up his
ticket. When he had masticated it to
a pulpy condition he waited for the
conductor. He was rather sorry he
was not better acquainted with that
officials movements, for a chewed rail-
road ticket is not tasty morsel.

hours of waiting, he caught sight of
a blue coat and brass buttons in the

THE AGENT DIDN'T KNOW.
A Story of an Editor and a Life In
surance Solicitor.

surance Solicitor.
There are today some thousands of
varieties of life insurance policies, each
of which has technical name and is
capable of being made quite unintel-
ligible to the average man. Some I'M
scrupulous agents trade on this. Many
do not really understand the meaning
of terms themselves, but have learned
their lesson parrotlike and most of
them apparently find it unnecessary to
describe in plain English to those
about to insure what they are contract
ing for. The result is a mass of mis-
information and confusion about the
whole subject
For instance, an agent was trying to
insure an editor ON some new plan.
The editor had a theory that any fact
could be put into plain, everyday Eng
fish if the man behind the fact really
knew what he was talking about. Aft
er listening to an involved flow of
premiums" deferred dividends"
leash surrender values" and Optional
choices" he said gravely:
cee uefc, L uOu uuueTStduu WHAT
you're talking about. But I'll tell you
what I'll do. If you'll write that prop
osition out in ordinary English so that
an ordinary man can understand it I'll
not only take the policy, but I'll pub
lish the explanation as an article and
pay you hundred dollars for it."
"Will 1? Sure, WILL exclaimed the
overjoyed agent, thinking he had in
deed struck an easy job. And he de-
parted, adjuring the editor not to for
get.
A week passed by. The agent called
up on the telephone to say that he was
working on the thing. There was less
exultation in his voice.
Two weeks more elapsed. The edi-
tor had forgotten the whole thing,
when the agents card came in one
day. 1t was followed by the man him
self
"Wen," said the editor, got my ar
ticle?'
"N-no," said the agent sheepishly.

way you want it, after ALL Let's call

A DIFFICULT PENANCE.
Irish Pilgrims to the skellig Rocks
Risk Their Lives

Irish Pilgrims to the SkelIfg Rocks
Risk Their Lives.
Ten miles off the coast Of Kerry, in
the west of Ireland, lie the Skellig
rocks, one Of which has been for years
the scene Of difficult penance. A zig
gag path leads up some 700 feet to
lighthouse, but 700 feet more must be
climbed before the summit is reached,
where stand the ruins Of ST. Finian's
monastery and cross of st. Michael.
Here on the anniversary of st. Mi
chael devotees risk their lives in per
forming their devotions. First they
have to squeeze themselves through the
Needles Eye, a tunnel in the rock thir-
ten feet long, the passing up which is
like the ascent of a chimney. Then
they creep on all tours up the Stone
of Pain, on whose smooth surface one
false step is fatal then, getting astride
the Spindle, rock 1900 feet above the
Atlantic and projecting some ten feet,
each pilgrim must ride cock horse
to st. Alichaers cross" say a Pater-
noster and shuttle back as best he can.

Sword stands came into use In Lon
don churches when it became custom
airy to carry the city sword before the
lord mayor as he went to church in
state. During service the sword was
placed in the stand or case provided
for 1t, and In his own church the lord
mayor generally had the stand placed
conveniently near to or in his family
pew. This custom, which was quite
common before the end of the six
teenth century, apparently began in
the reign Of Elizabeth. THE state Wis
its to the city churches were discontin-
ued in the mayoralty Of Sir R. n. Fow-
Ter. 1S83.-London Standard.

had helped him to Pittsburg and how

how the man had done none of the
