Retainer was Retained.

Edward M. Mason, superintendent
OF buildings for New Hampshire tells
the following anecdote OF Daniel
Webster: One day a man came to
Webster's office and consulted him in
regard to a prospective lawsuit. At
the close Of the Conference he paid
the attorney retainer of 800 to
look after the matter. Upon returning
to his place of business he found that
his partner had already settled the
suit, obtaining the sum demanded
without an attorney. He thought 500
was altogether too much for an office
fee, so he dispatched his clerk to look
after the matter. Mr.. Webster" said
the young man, my employer thinks
you should return a part Of your re-
tainer. That case has been settled +"

What Is a Gentleman

Among the Persians at the time OF
Cyrus the boys we're taught to ride, to
speak the truth and to draw the bow.
That meant manliness, truthfulness
and courage, all essential to the char
acter of gentleman. The knights OF
chivalry, who were the gentlemen Of
their time, added the duty of rescuing
the oppressed and distressed and this
completed the ideal by teaching I'M
selfshness and service. If a boy is
taught to be always self-respecting
courageous and truthful and invariably
considerable. not outwardly but as the
expression of true kindness of spirit,
OF the rights and feelings of others, he
will grow up, whether he be rich or

artificial distinction, but in his own
right. all that II implies. the grand old
name Of gentleman"

Oriental Brewerr mus.

There is brewery trust in Japan.
Once Japan imported all the beer she
consumed. After a time she learned
how 10 make her own beer, and at sew
eral places breweries were established
with japanese capital These for a
time competed with the usual result.
In 1904 the government itself con-
ceived. planned. initiated and organ
lied the brewery trust of Japan. and
now directs the trusts operations. I'm
der government direction the trust has
thriyed amazingly, and while stupid
competition has been eliminated no one
has been injured, no one has been gar
roted or robbed Meanwhile under
government control the amount of
beer exported from Japan in 1905 was
double the amount exported in 1904.
and the amount exported in 1906 will
probably double the amount exported
in 1905, for under government direc-
ton Japan is beginning to seize the
beer trade in China and Korea.-Every-

odd oririn of Custom.

In Abyssinia the emperor is COM
monty called Jan hoy" meaning his
majesty" The words have a strange
history. 1t is given by a passage in
the chronicle Of Mahdara Maryam.
The King sarga Dengel while engaged
in military expedition camped in
Dambya, was surprised to hear
the inhabitants shout Jan hoy"
which means Hi, elephant" at an
elephant which was destroying a field
OF corn. and fed when thus accosted.
Then the king said that whenever he
went to pillage corn, If the people
cried Jan hoy!" he would consider
their claims and redress their wrongs.
From this arose the custom Of ad-
dressing the king as ian hoy" as an
equivalent for asking for justice, the
expression gradually losing its spe-
cial significance and becoming the or
binary term OF address when speaking
OF his majesty.
