Professor Erasmus Svelthett of ST. Jacobs Uni.
versty has written very learned brochure in which
he sets forth interesting theory namely that the
reason that children of to-day are much more
quiet at the breakfast table than boys and girls used
to be is because they have plenty to read while the
children of bygone generations, with nothing to do
eat had perforce to join in the conversation
become ennuyes.
There is certainly much to be said in favor of this
theory. Children Of the present time never obtain
the balance OF conversation, do they have to
be reprimanded for interrupting or for saying un.
toward things at the wrong moment-although It is
question whether the right moment for untoward
things ever comes.

own childhood recall that there were no Maltumin-

lived too far away from great centers to be able to

reigned supreme even in the nursery, and her cpl

Kicking the Wrong Man.

Stanislaus Y. Henkels, Philadel-

Pennypacker library. Suddenly he
paused and laughed.
That was an error, he said.
- If such an error as that got into
print would feel as uncomfortable
as the lawyers wife. This lawyer :
wife lived uptown and one evening
her husband brought friend home
with him to dinner:
There is only one bottle OF
wine, the lawyer wife whispered
to him in the hall That a glass

more, He might accept and then
where would we be?''
Very we'll. dear, said the
lawyer.
But at dinner he asked Brown
again and again to have more wine.
Brown, though, refused steadily
and firmly. A dozen time he de-
clined with great determination.
James, what allied you at din
ner?' asked the wife as soon as
Brown was gone. Didn't I tell you
there was only one bottle of wine?
Why did you insist SO on Mr..
Browns's having more wine, more
wine, more wine?'
My dear, said the lawyer, l
forgot entirely
His wife frowned impatiently
But what did you suppose l
was kicking you under the table
for?' she asked.
The lawyer, puzzled, answered.

me.

Bracelet Emblem of Power.

In the most ancient period of
history, the bracelet was an ensign
of royalty. In later times it has
been used in the East as a badge
of power.
The bracelet of Rebecca linen
toned in Genesis weighed ten
shekels, or about five ounces.
Among the ancient Romans the
men, as well as the women, wore
bracelets, but the latter never wore
them till they were betIothed.
Bracelets were at first properly
military ornaments, or rewards,
frequently conferred among the
ancients by Generals and Princes
on those who behaved calamity in
fight. They became afterward
arbitrary decorations assumed at
pleasure.
The emblems, " says Fosbroke,
of supreme, authority among the
British Kings were golden bands
worn round the neck, arms and
knees. Ornamented bracelets of
brass have been found round the
arms of skeletons in British bar
rows.
The northern people used to
swear on their bracelets to render
contracts more inviolable. Fix
