A Royal Filtration.

Perhaps the most striking exam.
pie of the phrase she stoops to
conquer" in English history is fur
nished by Queen Elizabeth's cele-
brated Irritation with the Duke Of
Anjou. 1t was most important for
the queen, threatened as she was by
the hostility Of Spain, then the
leading power in Europe, to secure
and maintain the friendship of
France. The reigning king, Henry
HI, was willing to form an alliance
with England if Elizabeth would
marry Aniou, his Younger brother.
The queen promised to do this,
though she had not the slightest in
tention of keeping her word. She
invited the duke to England, carried
Oh with him prolonged courtship,
presented him to the court as her
atlianced husband and even on one
occasion condescended to kiss him
in public. She thus kept France in
a good temper until the danger from
Spain had for the time passed away,
when she Tilted him with excusable
shamelessness.

Americas Good" Wonep

There arc many varieties of good
women IN the world, some passive
and Others active, some subjective
and others aggressive. The good
American woman is the most active
and aggressive Of her sex. She ex-
ercises the strictest discipline over
her own family. She has the most
decided convictions on social ques-
tons. In nine cases out of ten she
is an antidrinker, antismoker and
antlgambler. - Blackwood's Maya

The Swedish method Of insurn9
lasting qualities in timber, as re-
ported in Woodcralt, Is 80 simple
and practical as to be worth at least
a trial in America. Trees which
are to be felled are first ''glrdled :
that Is. the bark i removed Tor a
space completely round the tree near
the root. This Is dore at a certain
season of the year The tree, thus
deprived OF the nouriShment which
it should receive through the inner
bark, will die, but not immediately.
1t will first live for u time on the
sap which remains in the wood, and
thereby it withdraws and uses up
the sap, which is the main cause of
decay in all wood. The tree is al
lowed TO stand only certain length
of time-not long enough TO attain
that brittleness and dry rot which
in this country have been regarded
as characteristic Of trees which die
standing.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A girl has got to have a beau if
he is only in a story book.
One of the greatest problems of
modern society is stairs when you
come home late at night.
A man would hardly ever mind
being married if he didn't have to
acquire so many good habits.
The best thing to give color to a
girls lips is a mans.
More money is wasted trying to
invent things to save it than in any
other way.
Every man has a little scheme
OF his own for making the world
better, but it is difficult to induce
others to take stock in it.
A girl will believe anything a
man tells her during courtship, but
after marriage, well, that's another
story.
To be engaged and then not get
married makes girl kind of shop
worn for next time.

Ten Commandments.

The Fot Cobb Record man has
prepared a set Of ten command
ments as follows:
Thou shalt not go away from
home to do any trading or asking
for favors.
Thou shalt patronize the
home merchant and the home
printer, for verify doth the home
printer spread the tidings Of thy
goodness and greatness and many
will patronize thee.
3.-Thou shalt employ the home
people, so that they will not be
driven from home to find bread
for their little ones.
Thou shalt not ask for
credit, as the goods cost much and
the merchants brains are burdened
with bills, and his children clamor
daily for bread, and his wife
abideth. at home for lack of such
raiment as adorneth her sister.
Blessed, ay, thrice blessed is, the
man who pays cash.
5.-Thou shalt rot ask for re-
duced rates on account Of thine
Influence" for guile is in thy
heart, and the merchant readeth
thee like an open book; he laugheth
thee to scorn, and shouteth to his
clerks hal hal"
6.-Thou shalt do whatever
lieth in thy power to encourage
and promote the welfare of thine
own town and thine own people.
Thou shalt not suffer the
voice Of pride to overcome thee,
and if other towns entice consent
thou not. for thou mayest be de-
ceived.
S.-Thou shall spend thine
earnings at home, that they may
return frou whence they came,
and give sustenance to such as
come after thee.
9.-Thou shalt not bear false
witness against the town wherein
thou dwelleth, but speak well of
it 70 all men.
10.-Thou shalt keep these COM
maudments and teach them to thy
children even to the third and
fourth generation, that they may
flourish and grow strong when
thou art laid to rest with thy IA
Tiers.

A HERALD man and family spent
Sunday at the Point. While there
we listened to several fish stories,
none of which, however, were very
tall. One of them was that told
by two young ladies of Brownsville,
who have been spending some time
at that place this summer. They
succeeded in catching three Jewish,
and produced the fish to prove
what they said. Another was
tussle Will McDavitt had with a
tarpon. He did not get to finish
telling US about it on account OF
an interruption, but he landed the
silver king just the same. Drs.
L. H. Barry and J K. Combe re-
port excellent sport in angling for
tarpon, and have several catches
to their credit. W. H. Mason
also had great fun fishing for these
game fish, and many others whom
we can not recall at present. Jew !
fish seem to be plentiful in the
vicinity of Point Isabel, as the
many broken hooks testify. Sea
cows and porpoise were sporting
near the end of the pier, and were
and unending sources of interest to
the crowd on the pier, many of
whom had never before seen these
monsters of the deep. A large
crowd visited the Point Sunday
and Notwithstanding the day was
more or less showery, the visitors
all enjoyed the time, and were
enthusiastic over the fish aud
oyster dinners at the various places
where the wants OF the inner man
are catered TO.
