~ the first English epigram. 1t appeared in
a poem entitled " OF a Newly Married Student
Who Plaid Fast or Lose" in which he did not
hesitate to intimate his secret passion for Anne
Boleyn, who became one of the many wives OF
King Henry VIII. of England
A student at his box so plast,
That wealth he might have wonne,
From box to wife did f1ete in hast,
From welth to wo to rune.
Now, who had plaid a feater cast,
Since juggling first BECOME?
In knitting of himself so fast,
Himself he hath undone."

One Touch of Nature

DOWN the street came wagon, loaded
- with meat and drawn by well-rounded
well-fed little mare. Her steps became slower
and slower, and finally, in the middle of the
car tracks, she stopped.
Git ap," said the driver, git APP, JENNY"
But Jenny only turned appealing eyes
toward the man the seat.
Behind him came the shouts and oaths of
other drivers
Poor Jenny, poor little horsel" said the
big dirty man is she all tired out?'
At the sound of his voice the little horse
sighed a sigh OF tired appreciation.
Never mind, " he went on soothingly as
he scrambled down off the seat and took her
by the bride. We'll go right out to the side
here and rest bit, and he led her away from
the crowd and stood patting her well-curried
sides, while she rubbed her nose against his
face.
The other drivers moved on then turned
and looked. Some of them smiled; Others
replaced the whips which had been taken from
their sockets to hurry their own horses after
the delay.

Cheap Rates From pawnbrokers

NEW YORK is one of the few cities that
~ keeps the interest exacted by pawn
brokers within reasonable limit.
In that city the rates are only three per
cent a month for the first six months on loans
not exceeding one hundred dollars. and two
per cent for each succeeding month. In nearly
all other cities, especially in the West, the
pawnbrokers exact ten per cent. month

second part of an inch per week They
grow faster in health than in sickness,
in summer than in winter. on the right
hand than on the left; fastest on the
middle finger and slowest on the
thumb and little finger The finger
nails are, therefore, all renewed in
from 100 to 40 days. The toenails are
four times longer in growing than the
finger nails
Some years ago many learned Asiat-
les let their finger nails grow to such
an extent that it was said they often
exceeded the length of the fingers. I'M
der which they sometimes bent in the
strangest curves and folds Travellers
gave the length as three inches and
even more. The best authorities give
the extreme length to which the finger
nails grow as just upon two inches,
when they become corrugated and
break off.
