Gave II Up.

A friend OF the w,iterErecently made
application fora public appointment III
q small ScottiGii town, and, thinking
that his chances Of success would be
greater by little judicious canvass
ing, he resolved to call upon few Of
the town councillors. in whose hands
the appointment lay. OF the civic dig
nitaries' position in private life he
knew nothing. Journeying to the town
in question, lie hired cab at the rail
way station and requested the jehu
to take him to Councillor Bissets, the
treasurer. The councillor was found
! in his blacksmiths shop shoeing a
horse. .~s~.. IS T..
"I'll see somebody of more impor-
lance than this, anyhow" said the can
didate to himself, and. turning to the
driver, he said, Drive me to Councillor
Maitland's office" d..
The cabman thereupon drove him to
the local joiner's shop. This was
| worse even than the smithy and in
despair he CALCULATED:
"Drive me to Councillor Gray's.''
81 am Councillor Gray, SIR" replied
the cabman.,
The answer staggered the candidate.
He quietly paid his fare and disap-
peared, resolved to leave his fate in
their hands without prejudicing them

Stevenson as He Talked,

He used to stand on the hearth rug in
the smoking room, says Walter Crane
in his "An Artists "reminiscences" Of
Robert Louis Stevenson, the center Of
an admring circle, and discourse very
much in the same style as that in
which he wrote. 1t gave one the i'm
preston Of artificiality rather-I mean
his manner Of speaking and choice Of
words, as if carefully selected and cul-
tivated. If remark was offered by
one Of the company he would perhaps
accept it and turn about, much as a
conjurer does when he borroWs a hand
kerchief or hat from some one in his
audience, Or perhaps he would work it
into his next sentence, returning it to
his interlocutor mproved-wrapped in
silver paper, metaphorically speaking.
His personal appearance was quite as
unusual as his speech-a long, pale,
thin face and lanl1 hair, quick and pen
etrating eyes and a rather sardonic
smile. The world in general, especial
" in clubland, wore white shirts and
collars as rule, but Stevenson sported
black ones.

When Life Was Little Valued.

The 223 capital offenses which the
old English law recognized as punish
able by death did not keep down crime.
and with the abolition of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder
crime in England, as we'll as every
where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston
Traveller.
Edmond Burke said that he could in
his time obtain the assent of the
house of commons to any bill that car
ried the death punishment.
A mans life was not very valuable
in those strenuous days. If he scratch
ed his name on Westminster bridge
if he wore a wig or false mustache or
any other disguise on public road if
he cut down young tree, if he stole
property worth more than $1.25, if he
had been transported for crime and re.
turned a day ahead Of the expiration
Of his term of punishment, if he wrote
a threatening letter, if he stole a hide
from a tanners, for any and all of
these things and for 200 more than
these he was hanged by the neck until
he was dead.

A Lion Tanners Secret,

The boarhound growled, and the

He thinks the hound could easily kill

"Why?"
"When the lion was cub this boar

The Story of Zero,

The word "zero' is from the Spanish
and means "empty," hence nothing. It
was first used for a thermometer in
1895 by a Prussian named Fahrenheit.
By experimenting with snow and salt
Fahrenheit found that he could pro-
duce a degree Of cold equal to that of
the coolest winter day. 1t happened
that the day on which he made his
final experiment was the coolest that
anybody could remember, and, struck
with the coincidence Of his scientific
discovery, he hastily concluded that he
had found the lowest degree Of tenn

He called the degree Zero" and con-
structed a thermometer graduating up
from zero to boiling point, which he
