To the Manner Born.

Whether the word be manner OIL
"manor," In the often used quotation
Is a question frequently asked. THAI
ito the manner born" Is correct is evi
dent from the context Of the phrase
which occurs In Hamlet" act
scene A. While Hamlet and his friends
Horatlo and Marcellus, are waiting or
the platform outside of the palace fol
the possible appearance of the ghost
Of the dead king the noise Of -four
fish of trumpets and the roar Of can
non are heard. In explanation Of this
Hamlet says:
The king doth wake tonight and takes
Keep wassail and the staggering up
spring reels,
And as ne drains his draught of Rheinist
down
The kettledrum and trumpet thus bray
out
The triumph Of his pledge
This allusion Is to an actual practice
at banquets among the ancient Saxons
and Danes ri proclaiming with sa.
lutte each time that the king drained
his goblet. Therefore, to the question
us 1t custom?' Hamlet replies:
Aye, marry. is't;
And to my mind, though am native here.
And to the manner born, II Is a custom
More honorej In the breach than the OH
servance.

TEACHERS PENSIONERS

The state board of education on
last Thursday evening placed some
sixty teachers on the pension list.
1t is understood that five of these
come from the city of Richmond,
and in another instance three come
from one county. Information as
to the names or residence OF the
teachers was denied newspaper
men, and it is impossible to learn
just how many, if any negroes,
were put on the list.
The fund will have to pay about
$1,000 year for the support OF
disabled and infrm teachers. The
fund is made up of an approprla-
ton of S. 900 on the part OF the
state and one per cent. from the
salaries of the teachers in the pub
lie schools. There are more than
9 900 of these. 1t is impossible to
tell at this time just what this
will reach, as the exact sum PAID
the teachers is not ascertained Flhls
is because salaries have been in
creased in some instances and In
others reduced. The sum, how
ever, will not fall far short OF $780,
900 a year, so there is a chance OF
accumulating little something
during the next few years.
1t is expected that objection will
be made to the scheme on the part
of some of the teachers of the state
and an effort to repeal the statute
at the next session of the general
assembly need occasion no surprise.
The idea is one which is popular,
however, and it is not believed that
the teachers of the state would
agree to it's appeal.

one paid the slightest attention to
me, and then, after my host came
| was nearly mobbed by crowds of
curious people who came to look
at me. My host did absolutely
nothing to protect me from these
people, and at times | was compell-
ed to push them away from me or
step on their bare toes to keep
them from crowding too closely.
Inquiry developed the fact that
this is usual, and it is the expert
ence of every white man who trav-
els in China. The Chinese look
upon him with contempt and take
no pains to conceal it. The one
salvation of the Caucasian world,
so far as danger from Chinese in
vasion lies, is in the fact that the
Chinese as a nation are not of one
consolidated race. They are as
distinct as are the nations of Eu-
rope, and there are more different
languages spoken throughout the
empire than in all the European
countries. They can never get to-
gether on the proposition of form
ing an immense army for the in
vasion of other lands. 1t is true
that the written language is the
same all over the country, but not
one Chinese in ten thousand can
read the characters in their full
meaning. There will never be a
Monaghan invasion of Europe or
until this vast people can
be brought together with the one
idea of revenge. So far as this is
concerned let it be remembered
that the interior of China there are
millions of people who do not even
known that America exists.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
Il Was GambIed Into Existence by tho
Lottery Route.

It Was GambIed Into Existence by the
Lottery Route.
TIE British museum, famed all over
the world, was born Of lottery. i
was in 1853 that the trustees Of Sir
Hans Sloane offered to the nation for
100000 the wonderful collection OF
coins, manuscripts, printed books and
natural history cpriosities, As an adj
ditional inducement to the state to pro-
vide house room 1t was pointed out
that the Harlelan collections Of manu-
scripts could still be secured for the
nation on payment Of 10000 and that
the collection Of Sir Robert Cotton, al
though nominally the property of the
nation, was 80 carelesSly housed that
a large part had already been destroy:
ed by fire.
The government refused to find the
cash, but declared It's readiness, after
the true British sporting manner, to
allow the public to gamble the British
museum into existence. A lottery was
therefore authorized of 100000 three
pound tickets, 100000 to be distribut:
ed as prizes and the balance to so to,
ward the purchase of the Sloane coll
lection. The scheme proved success
full, although the manager of the lot.
terry fell into disgrace and was fined
$1,000 for taking an Illegal premium.
In this sordid fashion was the British
museum planted and watered In the
palace of the Montagus in Bloomsbury.
Its first days were far from prosper
GUS. An income Of 5000 only was
available from the great gamble. Two
beauests brought the total up to f2s44S,
leaving, after payment Of the few sal
aries, about f100 to make fresh pur-
chases,
But the need for the expenditure in
this direction was rendered less neces-
sary by the rapidlty with which fresh
collections Of enormous value poured
into Montagu House. The great tree
has, In fact, grown so rapidly as well
nigh to battle the art Of the gardeners
to find light and air and room for the
spreading branches. The reading room,
which In the old building could accom-
modate only five readers, can now
seat nearly 800. Reckoning the miles
of shelving devoted to books, the mu
scum Is easily the largest In the world.
By cunning arrangements forty-one
miles of shelf room have been found
for the forest of books that now min
lister to the enlightenment OF the uni
verse. The Bibliotheque Rationale, In
Paris, the largest in the world, can
boast Of only thirty-one. ~ London
