Old Fashioned Wit.

The standard of wit varies from time
to time. What passes for the genuine
article at one period without challenge
is at another condemned as puerile.
Stories were commonly told Of Beau
Brummel and his friends which there
Is good reason to believe to be au-
thentic, but which would now be re-
garded as too silly for credence. The
famous man about town once laid a
wager with the prince regent that he
would see the greater number Of cats
IL the prince chose which side Of
Regent street he pleased. As the re-
suit Brummel saw about twenty. while
He was asked to explain the system
on which he had gambled and did 80
thus: It was a very hot morning. and
George ~, who liked to take his ease,
chose the shady side Of the street. But
cats like sunshine and gratified their
inclination by summing themselves In
large numbers.
Beau Nashs wagers were not always
SO successful, and he once found him
self nonplused by a young woman at
Bath. Having bet that he would "take
a rise" out Of the girl, he addressed
her with the remark that no doubt she
was familiar with her Bible and had
read the history Of Tobit and his dog
"Now," said he, "can you tell me the
dogs name" The reply was as
prompt as it was pertinent: "Oh, yes,
sir. His name was Nash, and a very
impudent dog he was."-London Globe

The Overtired Conductor.

When the horse cars were in exist
ence there was greenhorn known as
John who conducted on the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth street lines. he boarded
with his two aunts, who lived on Cath
arine street, between Thirteenth and
Broad. One day his aunts thought they
would take a ride with John and see
how he was getting along, so they
waited for his car. Soon the car began
to get crowded and passengers got off
and on at every square. John began to
get angry. At last he became so exas-
perated at having to stop so often that
when an old lady asked him to stop at
Chestnut he bawled out: 'T'm darned
sick and tired pulling the bell. It's
nothing but stop here and stop there,
stop here and stop there. Away with
youse all down to Catharine street with
me aunts, and you get out in a bunch"

Try as he would, Billy Brewster
could not secure moments converse

happened that the wagonette would

plain how it happened that Wither
spoon and Alice were the two selected
to go in hired trap?
It struck Alice that the drive to thu
station was much longer than coming
from it, despite the most agreeable
company by her side. Finally the old
horse drew up alongside the platform
and Witherspoon helped her out. She
looked in all directions for their fellow
guests.

was chained in yard to keep him out
Of mischief, but he soon hit upon a
plan for selling stray duck or fowl
At the very farthest point to which his
chain would reach he used to place a
portion of his food and then hide him
self in his kennel. In due course a
silly chicken was sure to spy the bait
and begin pecking at it. Before it had
had time to enjoy its meal, however
the fox would pounce upon it and the

A Chimes. superstltien.

When a Chinese baby takes a nap
people think its soul is having a rest
going out for long walk perhaps. II
the nap is a very long one the mother
is frightened. She Is afraid that her
baby's soul has wandered too far away
and cannot find it's way home. II 1t
doesn't come back, Of course the baby
will never awaken. Sometimes men
are sent out into the streets to call the
baby's name over and over again, as
though it were a real child lost. They
hope to lead the soul back home. If a
baby sleeps while it is being carried
from one place to another the danger
of losing the soul along the way is very
great. So whoever carries the little one
keeps saying its name out loud, so that
the soul will not stray away. They
think of the soul as bird hopping
along after them.

When Not to Smoke.

It Is quite certain that much may be
done to diminish the risk Of tobacco
amblyopia by paying attention to GER
tain points Of personal hygiene. For
instance, a rule should be made never
to smoke upon an empty stomach, but
as far as possible only after meals. II
is absolutely bad to smoke before din
ner and equally bad to smoke late at
night to keep awake at ones work. 1t
should also be forbidden to chew the
cigar between the teeth, as many smok-
ers are wont to do.-Hospital.

THE TREATY TREE.

Where Penn and the Delaware Chiefs
Exchanged Tokens.
The "treaty tree" the original Ameri-
can Hague, where our first peace con-
gress was held, with William Penn on
the one side and the Delaware chiefs
on the other, was a mighty elm that
stood at Shackamaxon, on the banks Of
the Delaware river. Kensington, one
Of the suburbs Of Philadelphia, now
surrounds the spot.
AS was customary on such occasions,
the parties to the treaty exchanged
belts of wampum, and the belt said to
to have been given Penn on this Occa-
sion is now in the collection Of the
Pennsylvania Historical society. It
consists Of eighteen strings Of black
and white beads, and in the center are
two figures, representing European
and an Indian, with hands joined In
friendship. In exchanging tokens with
the chiefs Penn said:
1.-THE friendship between you and
me will not compare to chain, for
that might rust, or the falling tree
might break. We are the same as #
one mans body were to be divided into
two parts. We are all one flesh and
blood" When the Indians handed
Penn the wampum belt Of peace they
said:
I'VE win live In love and peace with
William Penn as long as the sun and
the moon shall endure"
The treaty tree was blown down in
a windstorm March 10, 1910. It's age,
estimated by rings, is 2s3 years. The
William Penn society erected a marble
column upon the site as a permanent
