Our Pxumx Ancestors.

The armor of the knights of the mid
die ages is too small for their modern
descendants. Hamilton Smith records
that two Englishmen Of average d.
mansions found no suit large enough
to fit either of them In the great col
lection of Sir Samuel Meyrick. The
head of the oriental saber will not ad-
NIT the English hand nor the bracelet
of the Kaffir warrior the English arm.
The swords found In Roman tumuli
have handles inconveniently small, and
the great medieval two handed sword
Is now supposed to have been used
only for one or two blows at the first
onset and then exchanged for a small
err one. The statements made by Ho
mer, Aristotle and Vitruvius represent
six feet as a high standard for full
grown men, and the irrefutable evi
dence of the ancient doorways, bed
steads and tombs proves the average
size of the race certainly not to have
diminished in modern days.-Londor

Hooking the Wary Trout.

Trout when hungry usually face the
current This fact should be remem-
bered when approaching bridge or
eddy where the ''speckled beauties love
to hide" If possible, such spots should
be approached upstream. 1t may take
a little more time to go around and
come back up, but make haste slow
ly" Is said to be the first axiom Of
trout fishing. AS the stream becomes
warmer, the trout seek the cool pools
and shaded places. They are to be
found where cold spring bubbles up
into the stream or where a mountain
creek enters. Often number frequent
the same haunt. Each additional fish
means two more eyes to watch for the
fisherman. One trout Is all that is nee
essary to give a danger signal by
darling away. The rest Immediately
follow suit. To catch more than one,
or even that, in such a place takes
skill In the use of the line. But who
has said that trout fishing is not an
art?-Circle Magazine.

In the district known as "the barony
of Forth" in County Wexford, Ireland.
is to be found a race of Woodworking,
industrious peasants living in matched
cottages with clean, whitewashed walls
which by their perfect whiteness at
once arrest the attention of the visitor.
These people differ in many respects
from the inhabitants of the other parts
of the same county and have habits
and customs peculiar to themselves.
When funeral takes place two wood
en- crosses are provided. On the way
to the cemetery a halt Is made at a
certain spot by the side of the road
Here prayers are said for the deceased
after which one cross is deposited in 9
hawthorn bush or under it. The pro
cession then goes on it's way, and after
the interment the other cross is fixed
at the head of the grave. This strange
custom dates from time immemorial
as the great pile of crosses by the road
side indicates.

Great Musieian,s Eeosntrieltiss.

Dolls were the idols, after his be-
loved instruments, of Domenico ORA
gonetti, the king of the double bass.
He had a huge collection of these pup
pets dressed in various national cos
tunes, and wherever Dragonetti went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius pecul-
iarities. He would never play unless
his dog were in the orchestra. and no
body would have got a note out of
him unless he had been permitted to
sit In the orchestra next to the stage
door. This was a precaution to enable
him to save his wonderful instrument
in case of fire. The instrument itself
he brought from the monastery of st
Pietro when on visit to Vincenza, and
when he died he bequeathed 1t to st
Marks, Venice, to be used at solemn
services.-London Standard

Pat Was Surprised.

Two Irishmen got the contract to
clean a well. Pat tied a rope around
his middle, and Mike lowered him into
the well. When Pat was through
cleaning, Mike began to hoist him up,
but when he was halfway up he called
to his companion in the WELL
"Hould on a minnit, Pat, till l spit
on me hands," and let go of the rope.
Naturally Pat descended again little
too rapidly for comfort. When Mike
realized his blunder, he ran to the well
and called down:
"Pat, Pat, are We deadr
And his partner replied:
"No, We brainless spalpeen; Dim not
dead, begorry, but Oi'm spachless wiz
surprise at ye."7Judge's Library.

Coohineal.

Cochineal, SO much used for coloring
table jellies and also given to infants
as domestic remedy for whooping
cough, Is the whole insect of a class
called coccus, but only the females are
used. Why? Because the insects are
captured by suffocating them with the
smoke of fires below the trees on which
they live, and as the males have wings
while the females have none, the gen
tlemen take to flight when the atmos
phere becomes unpleasantly warm
leaving their ladies to their fate.

Tree Fountain.

An extraordinary curiosity is to be
seen In the Swiss village of Gunten, on
Lake Thun. 1t takes the form of a nat
ural tree fountain, the water flowing
continuously from spout high up In
the tree. About twenty years ago tbs
water from a spring was conducted
through shaft, and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk OF
a young poplar tree which was rammed
in the ground After a short time the
trunk rooted, branches followed, and
now there Is splendid top growth.
