ago. dreamed that l was the sub
editor OF religious weekly. There is
nothing dreadful in that, Of course.
The horrible part comes later. My
editor, just Off for holiday-editors

TO write to several people of eminence
and ask them to tell me their favorite
prayer. Il record this little story in
all reverence, you understand) Well,
many of the eminent people replied,
including lady novelist of great
fame. The lady wrote:
Dear Sir-In reply to your esteemed IA
vor, | have much pleasure In informing
you that my favorite prayer is. "Give us
this day our daily bread"
l placed il nj the head Of the col
umn. put the paper TO bed and went
there myself, feeling pleased. Next
morning when | opened my copy Of

letters had been dropped from the lady
novelist's favorite prayer, which, to my
conservation. now read as follows:

classed as an Antique Also.

A charming hostess of one Of the
'big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty OF prematurely
white hair, says the Washington Star.
That which seems to her contempo-
rarles an added charm may appear to
the crudely young mark of decline,
at least so it appears in one instance
of which the hostess herself tells with
enjoyment.
The lady is connoisseur of antiques.
At one of her teas debutante rich
with the glow of youth, but sadly con-
strained with her sense of her own
novelty. was handed cup OF tea. The
cup was beautifully blue and wonder
fully old. The hostess, desiring to
tighten the strain on her youthful
guest by a pleasingly diverting re-
mark said. THAT little cup Is $50
years old"

strained tones. "hOw careful you must
be to have kept il so long,"

Trying the Wrong Man.

An unusual verdict was rendered by
the jury in a case tried in a California
town a good many years ago. The
question WAS as to the ownership of
several head Of cattle which the de.
fendant was accused of having stolen
from the plaintiff As the case pro.
ceeded and different witnesses gave
their evidence it became apparent to
all listeners that the defendant was an
innocent man. When it came time
for the jury to retire to consider their
verdict they did so, but returned to
the courtroom in few moments
The foreman looked the Judge straight
In the eye and said with a drawl and
twang which betrayed his New Eng.
land origin:
"Jedge, we find the plaintiff guilty"
"The court is not trying the plain
tiff, but the defendant" said his honor
hastily, and the matter being explain
ed, the foreman was at length induced
to express the jury's opinion that the
defendant was not guilty.

Trades That Kill,

One OF the most dangerous Of trades,
according to the Pilgrim, lis the cover
ing of toy animals with skin. chamois
leather being used. for instance, for
the elephants, calfskin for the horse
and goatskin for the camels. This
covering must of course tit without
wrinkle to look natural. so the wood
Ell model is first dipped into glue, then
sprinkled with chalk dust; then the
skin is put on. The chalk is so fine
that It fills the air and is drawn into
the throat and lungs. A year Of this
sort Of work often results in death.
Another very injurious toy is the rub
Der balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thlnness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing OF the bril-
liant yellows. green's and purple are
most of them poisonous.

erotesaus Spanish Honor.

There is a story about the Duke of
Wellington that illustrates the fantas.
tic idea of honor held by many Span
iar,ls, contrasted with the practical
common sense of Englishmen. When
the duke was cooperating with the
Spanish army in the peninsula against
Napoleon he was desirous on one oc-
casion during Il general engagement
that the general commanding the
Spanish contingent should execute n
certain movement on the field He
communicated the wish TO the Span
lard personally and was somewhat
taken ahack TO he told that the honor
of the King of Spain and his army
would compel him to refuse the re-
quest unless Wellington. as foreign
officer graciOusly permitted to exist
and fight ON Spanish soil, should pre-
sent the petition ON his knees The old
duke often used to tell the story after
ward, aud he would say. Now, was
extremely anxious to have the move
ment executed. and didn't care u

an Englishman these historical land

which they recall aroused far less emo

the other, and long ago we saw the
events Of the Revolution in fair per

the past is not wholly creditable to
Boston's sense of humor. The passion

fact and not OF watchwords. The lead
ers Of the Revolution wrote and spoke
as though it was their duty to throw
off the yoke of the foreigner-a yoke
as heavy as that which Catholic Spain
cast upon Protestant Holland. But
there was no yoke TO be thrown or,
because no yoke was ever imposed, and
Boston might have celebrated greater

tainments as she is permitted to wit
ness in her mothers drawing room she

days she invariably forms" herself
on some special friend whom she elects
as a model of feminine perfection. And
ut a certain stage of their lives girls
are as much alike us peas in pod.
As they mature and develop they may
perhaps show some signs of individual.
ity, but in all the main issues of life
they continue to be more initiative than
original.
Fashions. housekeeping and enter
tanning are all more or less conducted
on the same lines. and the only true
sign of friendship that is shown to the
young married woman is to beg her to
order her life and her home on her
friends principles. Any departure from
those principles or any symptom of in
dividual taste or strength of mind will
sound the first challenge Of unpopulari-
ty for the budding matron. Her moth
er and her mothers friends will alike
desire imitation of their methods as
the "sincerest form of flattery," and
every decline from the original system
will be pronounced wrong or injudi-

The Water Bottles Shape.

Three useful plrposes-and probably
many more than three-are served by
making the familiar water bottle OF
such distinctive pattern. In the first
place the narrowness of the neck pre-
vents the entry of much dust that
would inevitably settle ON the water
were the entire surface exposed; in the
next place the same narrOwness pre-
vents excessive and rapid evaporation
of the water. and in the third place the
shape of the neck makes il capital
handle, thus doing away with the ne
cessity for Il separate handle fastened
to the body of the bottle, course that
would render it much less convenient
and more liable to be broken.-Pear-
sons.
