WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES.

the JOY the News Brings.
Lives there man with soul so dead
who never to himself hath said, with
many crowding emotions of joy, "The
circus is coming?"
The circus is coming" What mem
cries the old phrase rouses-of summer
morning long ago when you watched
the show train unload from your Sc
cure position on top of the pile of ties,
of the street parade with the country
people lining up the sidewalks, the
blare of many bands and the stately
solemn tread of the elephants.
And with what excitement you ate
your dinner. Your father probably has
denounced the circus as tent-cOvered
aggregation Of sin, but in his vest
pocket are tickets and small coins jim
gle in his right trousers pocket for the
delectation of his boys and girls. He
does not really care for the circus
that is, not until the familiar odor of
tramped grass has struck his nostrils
and called to life things long buried
or he feels the soft, inquisitive snout

cool way up his sleeves and sees the
physically marvellous and beautiful in
the show ring, and yields at last to a
strange tumult of sensations which
tells him that. after all, human nature
clings close to some of its most print
tive pleasures.
Then there comes over him wildly
the memories of circus days long ago
and Of the father, now long dead and
happy in the state reserved for all good
men, who took him, and he thinks to
himself that if there be one thing that
could make him desert the celestial
harp concert it would be a circus day
on earth with lot of boys and girls
to drink in its gaudy glories.-South

Those Eleven Lost Days.

The eleven days from Sept. to Ii
Inclusive are memorable for having
once been entirely omitted from the
calendar of the Anglo-Saxon world.
The Gregorian calendar was not
adopted by the British empire until
1111, long after most other nations of
the civilized world had conformed with
it. In that year an act of parliament
prescribed that the next year, 1852,
should begin on Jan. ] instead of on
March %, as had previously been the
rule, and that in the following Septem-
Der these eleven days should be dropped
from the calendar, the day following
Sept. 2 being known as Sept. II. Stir
ring times those were, too, in which
days were not lightly spared from
year, with Give conquering India and
Washington beginning the conquest of
the Ohio valley.
But the procession of the equinoxes
took no note of trifles like these, which
could be accomplished as we'll under
one calendarial style as another. 1t
may be observed that while Gregory
dropped only ten days from 1882 eleven
days had to go from 1852 and Russia
would have to drop thirteen from 1906
to square her dates with the rest of the
world.-New York Tribune.

Table Mustard.

Common, ordinary, everyday table
mustard obtained its name in remark
ably curious way. 1t is said that Philip,
Duke Of Burgundy, granted to Dijon
some armorial bearings on which was
the motto, "Moult me tarde."
This was later carved in a stone arch
way of the city, but as the years went
by the central word became effaced. A
certain firm in the city was engaged
in the manufacture of sinapi, which
was the former name for mustard, and,
wishing to label its products with the
city arms, copied the incomplete motto.
Thus, ignorant people seeing the
name "nOult-tdrde" on the jars, fell
into the custom of calling the contents
by that title. In time "moult-tdrde"
was contracted to moutarde (mustard).
