His Fair Share.

The Chinese always have understood
the great art of making the punishment
fit the crime. Man or joss. if he of
tends, gets exactly his deserts. Vice
roy Shum. who was anxious to see the
end of the heavy rainfalls, was very
angry with the guardian joss of Can
ton, who remained deaf to all prayers
to bring about a little sunshine. A
Weiyuen was dispatched to the tenn
pie with orders to ncov the roof
over the joss head and let him have his
fair share of the rain.

HONORS AND r
Absurjity OF Titles That Descend
From Father to SON.

From Father to SON.
When you find a man II most excel
lent runner, poet, surgeon OF mariner,
you give him due respect for his skill.
If he is very eminent, his occupation
esteemed and you chance to be some
ruling power, he may receive Il title.
You do not confer this title because
of his grandmother, and you do not
make the old lady a duchess or indeed
pay her any particular attention. This
omission does not reflect dlscredit on
the grandmother. 1t is obvious to her
mind that to make her n peeress be-
cause not she, but some one else, has
done something good" would be as
absurd as giving her twelve months
Aard labor II he had done something
otherwise.
Still less rational would ii be to make
the mans son a peer. The old lady
has given the world this grandson.
Perhaps she Is in a measure the cause
of his greatness, just as she might be
to a certain extent responsible were
he a criminal. But the son of the man
did not make his father. He is not to
be more greatly praised for what his
father has done than for what William
the C%onqueror did.
The world seldom or never gives a
man a title because his father earned
one, but 1t does an equally silly thing
when 1t allows a sol to inherit such an
Honor" says Home Notes.
Until a nan can transmit merit 1t Is
absurd to allow him to transmit a tes-
timonial as to merit. And, If there be
no pretense of claim to exceptional
worth, what solid reason can be ad-
vanced for "A man receiving a designa-
ton that commands deference2

John Wesley and Beau Nash.

In a book about Bath is set forth a
story about John Wesley. Beau Nash
had told Wesley that his preaching in
the street was not only contrary to law,
but it frightened people out of their
wits"
"Sir," said Wesley, Ibid you ever
hear me preach?'
NO." said the master of ceremonies.
GLOW then can you judge Of what
you never henrd?"
"By common report said Nash
stortly.
Common report is not enough. Give
me leave. sir. to ask, is not your name
Nash?"
my name is Nash"
"Sir," said Wesley, Il dare not judge
Of you by common report"

A woman who shall he nameless fur

There are three kinds of husbands

rather make money or play golf than
devote any attention to us and the

H SAILS OF EGYPT.
A Warming hummer Who bellows

The sails Is a runner who keeps in
front Of a carriage and warns common
people out of the way and who beats
them with n stick If they do not hurry
up about 1t.
1t is obvious that to do this he must
run quickly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed In order to save
their wind. The sails runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
Ing like an enraged elephant. He holds
his long wand at his side like a mus
ket and not trailing H. his hand like u
walking stick. and he wears Il soft
shirt of white stuff and a sleeveless
coat buried in gold lace.
He is II perfect ideal of color and
movement, and as h. runs he bellows
like a bull or roars rs you have heard
a lion roar at feeding times In a
menagerie.
There are sometimes two Of them
running abreast, dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part Of their bodies
as rigid as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends of their
scarf and the long tassel streaming
out behind.
As they yell and below donkeys and
carriages and people scramble out Of
their way until the carriage they pre-
cede has rolled rapidly by. Only
princesses of the royal harem anu con
suls general and the heads Of the army
of occupation and the Egyptian army
are permitted two sails; other people
may have one.

Women of Ancient Rome.

I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge. that there were
women In ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had. Juvenal tells
OF one woman who had married eight
husbands In Ave years. Divorce was
granted on the slightest pretext. Many
separated merely from love of change,
disdaining to give any reason, like
Nmillus Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives were not
much sought after by wise men. Their
complete emancipation made them diff
ficult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives were objeo-
tionable, the large majority OF men
never married at all. In most cases a
Roman bridegroom knew practically
nothing of his wlfes character until
after marriage. Marriage for the Ro
man woman meant u transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as a matter OF
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not. She could &c
where she liked. either to the temples OF
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
of slaves. over whom she ruled without
interference"
