Old Age and MatrIm ony.

When he was considered quite an old
man James, Lord Balcarres, went to
stay with old Lady Keith. There were
n number of young ladies In the house
and. before he arrived, Lady Keith
said 10 them: "Now, there Is this old
gentleman coming to stay, and par
ticularly wish that you should all en-
deavor to make yourselves as pleasant
to him as you can" They all agreed
to do so, but Miss Dalrymple said:
'You may all do what you like, but
I'll bet you anything that you please
that I'll make the old gentleman like
me best of us ALL" And so she did.
She made him perfectly devoted to her
all the time he was there, yet when
he asked her to marry him she laughed
in his face. Lord Balcarres was ex-
tremely crestfallen, but when he went
away he made will settling every
thing he could upon Miss Dalrymple.
Somehow shs heard of this, and said:
"Then, after all, he must really care
for me, and will marry him." And
she did. He was fifty-eight then, but
they had ten children.

Tar and Feathers.

'The Greek was the first to apply tar
and feathers to the body of an offend
err" said doctor. "Then, as now, this
punishment of the victim was consid-
cred one of the worst possible. In fact,
tarrlng and featherlng was considered
a greater punishment than hanging. 1t
was living punishment of the most
repulsive kind. Aerating of the blood
to a certain extent through the skin
takes place, and in the naked skin fis-
sures this Is very important part Of
the aerating process. In man the skin
does about one-thirtieth part of the
work, while the lungs do the rest. 1t
has been demonstrated that frogs
live but few hours after having
been given n coat Of varnlsh. A man
that Is so unfortunate as to receive n
coat of tar and feathers SO soon as
freed from his prosecutors seeks to free
himself from the recently applied tar.
A man with good kidneys could endure
longer such an application than one
suffering from an attack of any disease
affecting the kidneys. Death might
follow his suffering The skin is a
great absorbent agent"

Wise NJ. P.'s.

1t need hardly be pointed out, says
the author oS FIFTY Years In Fleet

parliament does not necessarily imply
intellectual superiority. Shortly after

Burma.
"Ah, yes, Burma" said an M. p.

A Glasgow Cemetery.

The Metropolis cemetery, Glasgow
as originally planned, contained al
most exactly twenty-four acres avail
able for burials, and it was suggested
that each division Of one acre should
be named after letter Of the Greek
alphabet, which contains twenty-four
characters. For various reasons this

but fifteen sections of the cemetery
have been so named from alpha tC
omega, the monosyllable letters be

Horrible HerOism .

One of the Resolutions gunners was
standing by his gun as the ship
sheered abreast of De Grasses flag

going to fire, when shot came in at

pulled off his neckcloth and tied his

The Difficult Persian Tongue.

OF the difficulties in the language OF
Persia traveller writes: "The words
one uses in a letter are almost entire.

it is almost impossible to distinguish
the lenses, and, lastly, the adjective
is generally indstinguishable from the
substantive, and the link between an
adjective and the term which it quail
fies is the same as the sign of the pos.
sessive. For instance, the text, This

A Story with n Moral.

A prominent New York banker was
dilating on the dangers of deceit. By
way of illustration, he told of a So
ciety woman who saw in a jewellers
window a collar Of pearls that she
wanted. She inquired the price and
was told $4,000. She gave her check
for $4,000, saying she would send her
husband to see the pearls, but the
jeweler was to tell him they cost only
$4,000. The storekeeper was familiar
with that sort of game and agreed.
The husband came to see the pearls,
and that evening told his wife he had
bought them. His wife delightedly
asked If he had brought home the col
lar, whereupon he replied: mo, dear;
1 had it sent to my mother. You know,

A unique and beautiful custom
among the orthodox Jews Is directly
responsible for the angular slit in the
lapel of the modern coat. The Jew
when death visits his household takes
knife and, cutting the lapel, murmurs
In Yiddlsh, 80 God, i accept thy judg-
ment." This custom has come down
from antiquity and is known as 'krea'
(rending the garment. The cutting Of
"krea" is associated with such solemn
and religious obligations that many Il
stern Hebrew father, as punishment
for son or daughter who marrles out
Of the faith, will rend his garment as
a token of the death of such a child.

nation of the typical religious Jew the

of the features of the fair will be the

the meeting this year will eclipse all
former events of the kind. The grounds

grounds to be found in the state. The
race track is one of the best half mile
courses in the country and good pro.
gram of speed contests is assured, large
number OF horses have been entered for
all of the races.
One of the big attractions at the
Brookville fair will be the Demarest

to Brookville are offered on the Penn
