They Went to Church.

Attendance at church service is OBJ
ligatory upon the part Of soldiers at
certain English posts. and amusing
stories are told Of the excuses that
are sometimes resorted to in order to
escape this requirement. At one post
where number Of recruits were tenn
porarily stationed an old sergeant was
ordered to ascertain to what religious
sect each man belonged and to see that
he Joined the party told off for that par
ticular form of worship. Some of the
men had no liking for church and de.
clafed themselves to be atheists. But
the sergeant was Scotsman and q
man Of experience.
"Ah. weel." said he, then We hae no
need to kape holy the Sabbath. and the
stables hae ma been claned oot lately"
And he ordered them to clean out the
stables. This occupied practically the
whole day. and the men lost their usual
Sunday afternoons leave.
Next Sunday broad smile crept
over the face Of the sergeant when he
heard that the atheists had joined the
Church of England.--London Tit-Bits.

BILE only at maturity, but the notes
were always increasing in value. These
also are regarded as rare by collectors.
II have one ten dollar bill bearing
per cent interest from Feb 26, 1879. I
suppose would have Il lot of trouble
In passing that bill II should need
to and maybe would not get more
than SO for 1t, and yet it is worth
just exactly $21, not to say anything
Of Its value to me as collector.
"Of the bills made payable to order
there were originally issued $5S.5O0
worth, and the total amount converted
was SIS, ,480, leaving $40 outstanding.
and this ten dollar bill Of mine rep
resents one-seventh Of this remainder.
OF the notes made payable to bearer
out of total of $39, ,951 ,250 originally
issued there is now left to be redeem
ed only $26,21O, and the probability Is
that many Of these notes have been
destroyed.
'The bills were intended to interest
poor persons In the purchase of gov

low denomination, but very few Of
them fell into such hands. They are
now Of extreme rarity and are held ut

Love For the Beautiful.

Let us learn to love and appreciate
the beauty which we see around us
every day. There are beautiful things
everywhere Some OF US see them;
some do not. It all depends on our
education. A beautiful flower may
grow by the wayside. One person may
pass It by and not even see it. or he
may trample 1t under foot and call 1t
an ugly weed. Another may see the
same flower and as he looks upon It
marvel at its beauty and recognize the
handiwork Of God One of these per-
sons has no love for the beautiful In
his soul-Nnd the other has-that is the
difference. Some people will tell you
that 1t is not practical to care for
beautiful things, but 1t really is prac-
teal, because 1t helps to make life
sweeter and better. You will find It
well worth cultivating, this love for
the beautiful, and when you once have
It In your hearts you win never be
willing to part with it.-Maxwells Tai

BRITISH BARONETs.

Those Of England and ireland Wear
the "BIoody Hand Of Ulster"
The rank Of baronet was given first
by King James l. as a means of rails
ing money. The recipients of the dig
nifty were to be gentlemen Of good
birth possessing not less than E1,OOO a
year and In time of war-like the old
knights banneret-were to occupy posts
Of honor near the royal standard.
The money payment has wholly ceas-
ed, but when baronet is created the
ancient form of warrant Is still re-
tanned, and tally" is struck at the
exchequer and handed to the new
baronet by way Of receipt. Baronets
have no corOnet or robes, but in the
English and Irish divisions they pos
sess rs distinctive badge the Bloody
Eand Of Ulster" which invariably ap-
pears on their coat Of arms.
The baronets "of Nova Scotia" who
date before the union of England and
Scotland, show the arms of Nova SEQ
tia upon their shields. The baronets
Of Scotland have distinctive badge
consisting Of an enameled decoration.
worn from the neck by an orange
tawny ribbon" showing st. Andrews
cross upon small shield, surmounted
by crown and surrounded by the en-
ameled motto, FAX mentis honestae
gloria" C'Glory, the beacon light Of
the noble mind'o.
With this King Charles conferred q
crest-a branch Of laurel held by a
naked hand and thistle held by an
armed one-with the added motto.
"Munit haec, altera vincit" Gone de-
fends, the other conquers'D. All later
baronets are of the United Kingdom"
or Of Great Britain" and possess no
such pretty toys.
In fact, many people who pride them
selves on their familiarity with De-
brett know scarcely anything of baron
cts badges and beyond a misty no
tion Of the meaning of the Ulster Hand
are unaware Of their history and sig
nificance.
There Is one instance of the honor
being granted to woman. Dame
Mary Bolles Of Osberton. Nottingham
shire, was created baronet in 1888
for maintaining thirty foot. soldiers
at eightpence n day for three years In
his majesty's service" no slight help
In those troublous times.

lady. is the almost obsolete style to
be used by baronet's wife. Nowadays

prefer the old word dame" that Is
always followed by the Christian
name and sounds deliciously quaint
and distinctive.-Modern Society.

The band had been engaged to play

EHE e was big. boyish brakeman
with only one eye. but that
one eye was the jolliest eye
that ever winked. 1t had a
way of looking directly at you and
beaming right into your heart. and you
found yourself smiling back response
before you knew it.
1t was the evening of Thanksgiving.
the hardest time Of all the year to find
oneself thousand miles from home
and all the sweet home festivities.
Many We're getting on and off the
train, coming from or going to their
family reunions, and their very hap
piness intensified my loneliness by the
contrast. Thanksgiving cheer was in
the air. The one eyed brakeman was
fairly radiant as he dashed in and out
to call the stations. He had a pleasant
word now for one and now for anoth-
er. and his laugh was full of glee.
AS he passed my seat he lifted a
dainty handkerchief from the aisle
and held it out to me. rs this yours.

smile. "a prize for little Thanks!'
And he folded it tenderly. wrapped it

things of your lifer | exclaimed.
'Yes, dc" he replied, ''for it brought
the other good things. VIII tell you all
about it when l come back" And off
he dashed to his train duties.
When he came in again he seated
himself opposite me. and this is the
tale lie told me, with that one eloquent
eye Of his beaming with pleasure:

any home or folks or anything. If l
ever had any parents, don't remem-
