Human Encyclopedias

TT has been said of Macaulay that not only
did he retain in his prodigious memory all
that he had ever learned but that he had
learned all manner of things no other scholar
would have retained Aside from his aston
ishingly comprehensive grasp of many branches
of human knowledge. he was specially proud
of the fact that he knew whole libraries by
heart 1t was his boast that, in the event OF
wholesale destruction of certain classics, he
would be able to supply the deficiency out of
his memory. 1t was claimed among other
things that he could recite Paradise Lost
without moments pause for refreshing his
recollection and that to reel off all the plays
of Shakespeare was only child's play to him.
Another English scholar of astonishing
erudtion Lyulph Stanley, of whom
Lowell said, He knows three times many
facts any man whatever had any business
to know
Stanley is said to have had only one rival,
Palgrave, the compiler of The Golden
Treasury" It's an even chance which will
return alive said when Stanley and
Pagrave went on trip together When they
did come back, it is related, Palgrave was pale,
emaciated, silent: but Stanley seemed un-
moved and more all knowing than ever
Another human encyclopedia Buckle,
author of The History Of Civilization" One
night, it is said, he was laying down the law
on sundry topics with pomposlty that
caused the table to quake. At last he put
forth some statement about the burning of a
witch. setting the date about a century out
of the way Stanley, who was present, had
borne some preceding inaccuracies very well,
with only shaking of the head and redden-
ing of the face
But at this juncture his self control gave
way, and he leaped to his feet Extending
his hand, he piped forth in vigorous treble,
Il beg your pardon sir, but the last witch
was burned at such and such place, in such
and such circumstances And her name was
so-and-so and you will find all about it in
book to which can easily refer you, and which
you evidently don't know"
And SO torrents of imprisoned knowledge
were poured on Buckles head until the
historian of civilization sat wrathful ex-
tinguished, mute. But in little while he
had his revenge. Some one had mentioned
new dictionary as a good one. 1t IS, said
Buckle most solemnly, "one of the few die
tionaries l have. read through with pleasure"

One to Three at Whist

TsHE late Senator Hoar was extremely fond
L of whist which he played with remarka-
BILE skill.
A friend says that the only time he ever
knew the usually placid and genial man from
Massachusetts to be absolutely impatient was
when on one occasion at whist the Senator had
an unusually stupid partner. Notwithstand-
ing this handicap, the pair were winning right
along even against good players
In the middle of one game, some one paused
behind the Senator's chair and asked, Well,
Senator how are you getting ons'
Very well, indeed" was the reply, in view

Candidates too Well Known

TT was just after the opening of the polls for
the election of mayor in a New Jersey
town that two Irishmen met and began dis
cussing the chances of two candidates for al
dermen
1t will be a close race between McGlory
and Adolph Mink" said the first Irishman, to
which the other rejQined:
How is it, Clancy, that in many votes it
should be nip and tuck between McGlory and
the Dutchman Mink?"
We'll, I'll tell ye responded the first Irish
man its like this: They're both of EN- very
unpopular min. McGlory and Mink. If We
knew wan we'd be certain to vote for the other
and both of them are blamed we'll known

No Harmony in Him

SOME of the guests at dinner party in New
York not long ago were referring to the
influence of an independent official toward in
creaslng the party vote at the approaching
election. Said one of the women present
Really. | am not surprised that Mayor
Blanks course has failed to secure perfect har-
mony. For long time have sat near him in
church and heard him, Sunday after Sunday
sing the hymns with vigor and great self salts
faction to tune entirely his own. The fact
that the tune was not the right one never
seemed to worry him in the least"

Wit and Wisdom of Sydney Smith

TAKE short views, hope for the best, ard
trust in God.
Words amazing barrier to the recep-
ton of the truth
Some men have only one book in them,
others, library.
The Dean of Blank deserves to be preached
to death by wild curates.
Daniel Webster struck me much like
steam engine in trousers.
OF course, if l ever did go to fancy ball at
all, should go as Dissenter.
What misery human beings nfiict on each
other under the name of pleasure
We know nothing of tomorrow. our busi-
ness is to be good and happy to-day.

clergyman distantly related to bishop.

The Power of Hope

Hopes a magical compound

We always do tomorrow

please preserve these two articles for

birth stone is supposed to bring good
luck to the person who wears it. and
they are always popular as gifts OF

No gem save Garncts should be worn
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.
FEBRUARY.
The February-born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care
II they the Amethyst will wear.
MARCH.
Who in this world of ours their ewes
In March first open shall be wise;
In days of peril. firm and brave,
And wear a Bloodstone' to their grave
APRIL.
She who from April dates her years.
Diamonds should wear lest bitter tear,
For vain repentance flow: this stone
Emblem of innocence is known.
MAY.
Who first beholds the light of day
In springs sweet flowery month of May
And wears an Emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife.
JUNE.
Who comes with summer to this earth
And owes to June her day of birth,
With ring of Agate on her hand.
Can health, wealth and long life com.
mand
The glowing Ruby should adorn
Those who in warm July are born;
Then will they be exempt and free
From loves doubts and anxiety.
AUGUST
Wear a Sardonyx, or for thee
No congenial felicity.
The August born without this stone,
'Tis said. must live unloved and alone.
SEPTEMBER
A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in Septcmber's breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow should bind
Twill cure diseases OF the mind.
OCTOBER.
Octobers child is born for woe,
And life's vcssitudes must know;
But lay an Opal on her breast.
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
NOVEMBER
Who first comes to this world below
With drear Novembcr's fog and snow.
Should prize the Topaz. amber hue
Emblem of friends and lovers true.
DECEMBER.
If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mrth-
Place on your hand a Turquoise blue
Success will bless whate'er you do.

A Party for Labor Day.


Are you renewing your youth, my
dear?" said Nine. Merri to hostess
noted for novel entertainments, who
was discovered in the toy department
buying all sorts OF diminutive house
hold articles.
No, l am only preparing for my
luncheon to be given on Labor day.
You know it is not far on"
Then l understood the selection of
tiny brooms. dust pans, wash tubs
coffee pots, etc. l was so interested
in the clever scheme that l begged it
for the department, so here it is in
detail for others to go and do like
wise.
The hostess being gifted in drawing
b Hdecorated each invitation with a young
woman in some act of household la
bor Besides this there was nothing
else but the day and date, with the
quotation: Learn to labor and to
watt" also the request to wear a
wash gown. When the guests arrive
they are given aprons all finished ex-
cept the strings, which are to be of
ribbon. This sewing done, the first
labor is accomplished. Bows to match
the apron strings are to be worn in
the hair, long hairpin being thrust
through each to keep it in place. The
table center piece is to be dolls
wash tub filled with asters; the place
cards are dust pans lettered in gold
tied to the cutest of brooms. Before
the dessert each guest is to brush her
own crumbs with her broom and dust
pan. And the dessert-it Is to be the
best Of all. There will be eight guests.
and four wee ice cream freeZers are to
be brought to the table. Four will
freeze and four concoct the cream. put
in the ice, salt, etc. If all goes well
the cream will be ready to eat in less
than Is minutes and ten for the coffee
1t is to be ground and made at the
table. poured into the little individual
pots, and each guest will serve her.
self in demi-tasse at her place.
An interesting article prepared by
the hostess on the revival of House

after-luncheon entertainment. There
are to be some fine specimens of be
fore-the-war" needle work on display,
which have been collected by the hos
Tess on her many trips to the south
land. Each guest is also to be asked
to tell her favorite occupation and
the best way Of doing it. Taken all
sin all Nine. Merri wishes there would
be whole lot of these Labor day par
ties. The idea seems to be practical
and unique.
