What grief and pain she suffered here,
Meme of us will ever know;
For Jesus took her home with Him,
Where no tears will ever flow.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her toll on earth is done;
Her troubles are all ended,
Her Heavenly crown she won.

Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one We love so dearly,
In her lonely, silent grave.
We often go 10 see her grave,
And keep the verdure green,
And plant some spotiess flowers
Upon the peaceful scene.
Farewell, dear Nellie, may your slumber
BE as gentle as your love;
And when God shall call US homcward,
May we meet in Heaven above.

"a Tempest In a Teanot."

The expression "a tempest in a tea
pot" Is one OF great antiquity. Its
first historic appearance Is In the "De
Legibus" Of Cicero. who quotes 1t as a
common saying. "GratidIus raised a
tempest In a ladle. as the saying u.s."
The French form. "Une tempete dams
une verre d'eau" "a tempest In glass
or water). was first applied to the dis
turbances In the Geneva republic near
the end of the seventeenth century. In
England the word teapot was sub
stituted for the sake of ALTERATION. II
is said to have been popularized by
Lord North. who employed 1t to char
acterize the outbreak OF the American
colonists against the tax on tea.-Bos.

The Scheme by Which Its Inhabita nts

This name Gotham. was first applIed
TO the city of Manhattan In a book of
humorous sketches called "Salmagun-
di," written about 1907 by Washington
Irving In collaboration with his broth.
er Peter and the poet Paulding.
1t was evidently intended to suggest
that the people OF New York made I'M
due pretensions to wisdom, and that
there were both satire and wit In the
suggestion Is shown by the story of
the original Gothamites. Gotham was
parish in Nottinghamshire, England.
The old story tells how King John
wished to pass through the parish, but
the people there. fancying that the
passage of the king over a route made
Ii public road, decided to prevent the
transit by all pretending to be crazy.
Therefore when the king and his party
arrived they found every one Of tho
inhabitants employed in some peculiar
ly foolish task. Thus a group were
Joining hands arsand a thorn bush to
keep cuckoo from getting away, some
dipping water with a sieve, and SO on.
When the king saw these perform
ances, he swore at the people for a
pack OF idiots and. turning, departed
with all his retinue, says the House
keeper. The Gothamltes were delight
ed with the success OF their scheme for
turning aside the king. regarding it as
superlatively clever.
After this Gotham came to have the
reputation OF being q sort OF headquar-
tiers for conceIted fools. In the time of
Henry VIII. a book entitled THE Mer-
ry Tales of the Mad Men OF Gotham"
was published. Among these was the
story OF the Three Wise Men OF
Gotham" one OF whose exploits was to
go to sea In bowl.

The Water Sellers, Coffee Makers and

The most numerous and also the

Cairo are the water sellers, some of
whom go about with hideous looking
goatskins filed with Nile water.
Others carry more inviting looking,
reddish clay jars, decorated with brass
bands. and these jars often have a
piece of ice at their mouth and n sprig
Of mint protruding on either side of
tee ice. The carrier with the goatskin
calls out his mission, but the other
with the jar carries in his left hand
two brass saucers. which he clinks to-
gether with sort of musical Jingle

The street sellers OF coffee are every

Their outfits comprise merely a kettle
of charcoal. n small copper coffee cup

bowls OF china and a supply OF coffee
and sugar. IL takes one only a few
minutes 10 brew n fresh cup, and MS
