quickly proven, they should have the
effect of rebounding upon the head of

their condemnation of such practices,
and show their disapproval of such

KISSING DAYS.
Observance of Ancient Custom by an
English Fishing Town.

Observance of Ancient Custom by an
English Fishing Town.
Yesterday, says a late issue of the
London Evening Standard, was ''llss-
ing day" at Hungerford, a quiet COM
munity on the western borders Of
Berkshire, renowned for it's trout fish
cry and it's faithful adherence to the
ancient customs of Hocktide, which
have been observed since the days CT
John Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, who
granted the rights and privileges to
the commoners.
At daybreak the town crier, arrayed
in a new livery, took his stand on the
town hall balcony and blew his lusty
blasts on the historic horn, which is
the symbol of Hungerfordian liberty.
Then the "tuttimen" went forth bear
ing slaves garlanded with flowers and
made a perambulation of the town,
kissing every lady whom they met and
demanding penny from every male
householder.
The sum thus obtained served to
purchase oranges for scrambling
among the crowd Of children who fol-
lowed in their footsteps. The ladies'
took the kissing in good part, and the
males paid up smilingly.
Meanwhile the Hocktide jury was
transacting more serious business in
the town hall, electing a constable,
who is both a coroner and mayor,
also appointing keepers of the keys
of the common Golfer, bailiff, por-
treeve and other ancient officers
whose duties are rather obscure.

The Earth's Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once in each twenty-four hours.
But few, however have any idea of the
high rate of speed at which such an
immense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat of making one revo-
luton in day and a night. A graphic
idea of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing its speed to that of a
cannon ball fired from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such a missile has been es-
timated at 1926 feet per second, which
is equal to mile in Is seconds. The
earth, in making one complete revolu-
ton in the short space of twenty-four
hours. must turn with velocity almost
exactly equal to that Of the cannon
ball In short, its rate of speed at the
equator is exactly 1907 feet per second.
This is equal to IL miles minute.

How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to
Be Written.
Not one in a thousand of those who

homely origin.
According to the Church Eclectic, it
was written by Rev John Fawcett,
who in the latter part of the eigh.
teenth century was the pastor of a
poor little church in Lockshire, Eng,
land. His family and responsibilities
were large his salary was lass than

In 1872 he felt himself obliged to ac.

farewell sermon had been preached,
six wagons loaded with furniture and
books stood by the door. His congre,
cation, men, women and children, were
in an agony of tears.
Mr. Fawcett and his wife sat down
on a packing case and cried with the
others. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett
said:
"Oh. John, John, cannot bear this!
know not where to go!"
Nor | either" said he; NOR will we
go. Unload the wagons and put every.
thing back in it's old place"

After reading these lines, Lomaque
tempted to speak; but the words would
not come at command. He looked up
at Rose, and tried to smile; but his lips
only trembled. She dipped the pen in
the ink and placed it in his hand. He
bent his head down quickly over the

Weighty Young Prince.

There is unique claim to be adj
vanced by a member of the Danish
royal family, and that is the heaviest
living specimen of any royal family
in Christendom. This weighty scion
of the Danish ruling house is Prince
Gustav of Denmark who, although
only twenty ears of age. tips the beam
at twenty-three stone.
No living royalty can compare in
weight with the youthful prince, the
seventh son of the crown prince of
Denmark. This young man was born
at Copenhagen in 1887, and, like most
stout people, he is easy going and
good natured AS he is yet so young
it is by no means impossible that he

dupois, so that he is not likely to have
his special claims to distinction chal'

FELL SHORT OF REPUTATION.
How PhIanthropst Peabody Was
Judged by Irish Fishermen.
I. A FAIR BALL

A good story of John Bright and
Peabody, the philanthropist, is re-
called by Justice Johnson's interesting
reference to the former in his charge
to the jury at Limerick in the action of
William O'Brien, NJ P. The judge
pointed out that it was to Bright, who
came frequently to Ireland to fish at
Castleconnell, near Limerick, that
they owed the initiation Of the action
to buy land in Ireland for the tenants.
On these occasions the great tribune
was always accompanied by George
Peabody.
One day they went a couple of miles
up the Shannon between Castleconnell
and Killaloe They had engaged the
services of two boatmen, and as
Bright and Peabody were keen anglers
they made long day of it.
On returning in the evening Bright,
noticing a policeman on the river
bank, asked what sum the boatmen
were entitled to for their time. The
constable said anything from seven
and sixpence to ten shillings. Bright
turned to his companion, saying: II
have no change, Peabody; have you
three half crowns?"
The millionaire produced the coins
and gave them to one of the boatmen,
who said: And is that all ye're
givin' me?" That is all, replied Pea

TO CLEAN BRASS FIXTURES.
ShelIac Will Prevent and Repair Much
Damage.

Damage.
Tt is we'll known to housekeepers
that brass chandeliers soon lose their
beauty, and will be glad to know how
this may be prevented if treated in
time. While the fixtures are still
bright and fresh, go over them with
a coating Of white shellac, such as is
used by painters. Enough of the best
quality for the purpose may be pur-
chased for 10 or Is cents, and a fine
camels hair brush will cost little more.
Paint the fixtures carefully, taking
care not to have the brush too full,
as this will make streaks. Do not be
discouraged if at first your works look
smeary. The shellac will be an invisi-
BILE protection when dry, and is used
extensively by old furniture dealers
on brass beds, etc. Old fixtures may
be improved and frightened by shell
lac. First scour and clean them thor
Oughly, polishing with dry flannel.
Then paint them over with the shell
lac, while still bright and dry, and
leave until it has set.
