tation known as "the crooked house"
It is altogether out Of the perpendicu-
lar and slants toward the south end,
which is heavily shored up with thick
red brick buttresses. These peculiari-
ties are the result Of mining opera
lions, the under stratum Of the earth in
these parts being completely honey
combed. The clocks on the walls, al
though absolutely perpendicular, as
their pendulums testify, appear to be
hanging sideways at pronounced an
gle. A short glass shelf, one end OF
which appears to be foot higher than
the other, proves to be absolutely level,
while in the taproom is table which
is apparently slanting, but on which if
round marbles are placed at the seem
ingly lower end they roll to all appear
ance uphill to the top Of the table and
fall over with a bump.-London Stand

The inventor Of grog, the long time

literature, was Admiral Vernon, of
whose courageous deeds at Porto Bello
lively poet has sung:
Which when they came to understand he
was so brave a fellow,
They did surrender, out Of hand, the town

"Old Grog" was Vernon's pet name
in the navy Of his day, and it was thus
bestowed: "Out on the Spanish main
Vernon found that the result Of giving
each man in the ships company half
pint Of rum a day to drink neat was
disastrous. His captains and surgeons
suggested to him the revolutionary ex-
pertinent Of mixing the spirit with wa

quired this to be done. The new liquor
was not favorably received, and the
seamen cast about for an opprobrious
name for it and its author. Now, Yer.
