ALWAYS THE SAME ANSWER.
Little Bride Simply Made Trouble by
Asking Useless Question.

It was a very warm night, and peo-
pie in the boarding house had left
their bedroom doors slightly ajar.
Thus any conversation of persons who
were so indiscreet as to forget the
fact was distinctly heard down the
hall, and that accounts for several
persons knowing that the little bride,
who is not more than 20 years old,
said to her equally youthful husband:
Are you telling me the TRUTH" His
answer was not heard, but It failed to
De convincing evidently. for the little
bride repeated the question, even unto
the third time, aud at the last her
voice by no means expressed conyic-
ton.
And then those who were older in
worldly wisdom por cred and com.
mented.
Because, they said, that OF all use
less things, 1t was for woman to
ask her husband If he were telling the
truth. Even If he were not, and knew
that his wife knew that he was not.
he would still declare that he was. II
is not in masculine nature to go back
on such a statement once II is made.
said the experienced, and so the little
bride was simply making trouble for
them both.

PRICE OF LAMARTINE's POEM.
Pecunlary Value Which the French
Poet Put Upon His Work.

The Paris Gaulois tells a good story
Of Lamartine's estimate Of the pc
cuniary value of his poetry.
1t was in lS4S, when he was at the
acme OF his glory and cabinet min
lister. He had Just contributed La
Marseillaise de la Paix" to the Revue
des Deux Mondes, and Buloz. the
editor called on him at the ministry.
81 believe owe you ESQ Here is the
money" said Lamartine, producing
a bundle of banknotes
Pray deduct the amount OF the
Revue's Indebtedness to you for your
poem said the editor.
Il meant to make you a present Of
It," rejoined the poet.
Not at all; / insist upon paying
you"
How much?"
Your own price, whatever 1t may
be-"
"Ah, we'll II you will have It so
must oblige you" said Lamartine; and
with a magnificent gesture he swept
up the whole bundle OF notes repre-.
senting the ESQ and restored them,
with solemn dignity, to his pocket.

Hay on Church Floor.

curious custom was observed at
Old Neston church on Sunday. The
church is dedicated to St. Swithin,
and on festival day the church is
strewn with hay. Many years ago
some donor left field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times year. The tenant OF the
field has to supply the hay to strew
the church. The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
on festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots, and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear. On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down In the church.-London

HISTORICAL RECORD OF RINGS.
Have Important Part in the Annals Of
the World.

The ring began when man thrust
his finger through a hole in a pretty
she'll, and later learned to make rings
Of jet. The ring is very magical.
Lord Ruthven, who helped to kill Riz-
zio, gave Queen Mary a ring which
was "sovran" against poison. and she
generously replied with the present of
her fathers wonderful jeweled dagger
OF French work. no longer in exist
ence, Whether Ruthven fooled with
this magnificent weapon in the affair
of Rizzio or used a cheaper article is
uncertain. At all events Mary based
on the ring that was an antidote to
poison a charge of sorcery against
Ruthven. The judges of Jeanne dare
regarded with much suspicion her lit
tie ring of base metal, gift from her
parents, inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
II was usual to touch the relies OF
saints with rings; Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body OF
St Catherine. whether she meant Of
the actual saint or relic OF the saint,
brought from Sinai TO Ferbois. The
ring might contain a relic, or later,
miniature fear that do not believe
in the virtues or vices OF poison rings.
Our ancestors practically knew no poi
son but arsenic, and CaFthaginian
science can scarcely have enabled
Hannibal to poison himself with
drug contained under the stone of a
ring.-Andrew Lang, in London Post.

20 feet. The tail is of lovely deep
blue shade, while the body is bun, and
about the neck is white ring. A pair
