A Talent For Balancing.

The pleasant coffee room of the old
Star and Garter at Richmond, which
was burned down in 1869, was patron
lied by England's statesmen, politicians
and writer's On Saturday evenings it
was regularly visited by middle aged
gentleman Of rather broad stature,
with gray hair and a large shirt collar
which formed conspicuous feature in
his attire. He would dine always
alone at a particular corner table, and
after dinner it was his humor to build
up before him a pyramid of tumblers
and wineglasses, which he topped with
decanter. Occasionally the whole
structure would topple over and litter
the table with its ruins. Then the mid
die aged gentleman would rise, pay
his bill, including the charge for
broken glass. and depart The walters
knew him we'll. He was Thomas Bah
ington, Lord Macaulay.

A Wonderful Bowman.

The Romans were very skillful bow
men, although they discarded the ,weap-
on in warfare trusting to the charge
and to hand to hand fighting. Many
Of the Roman emperors were famous
archers. It is said that Domitian would
place boys in the circus at a consider
able distance from him and as they
held up their hands with the fingers
outstretched he would send the arrows
between them with such nicely and ac
curacy of aim that he never inflicted
wound.
The wicked emperor Commodus
boosted that he never missed his aim
or failed to kill the wild beast that he
shot with single arrow. He would
set shaft in his bow as some wild
beast was set free in the circus to de-
your a living criminal condemned to
die. Just when the furious animal
was springing on his prey the emperor
would strike it dead at the mans, feet.
Sometimes 100 lions were let loose at
once in order that he, with 100 arrows,
might kill them. With arrows the
heads of which were semicircular he
would sever the necks of ostriches in

A Queer Complication.

In Sydney, town of 100000 inhab-
itants, one can get nothing to eat on
Sunday. Certain restaurants supply
food surreptitiously, but the whole
time the guests are in danger of being
arrested. Once an Italian was in such
a restaurant on Sunday when suddenly
the police entered. The Italian was
promptly pushed by the proprietor into
a room where waitress happened to
be standing in negligee. Even this
room the police invaded, but the wait
ress saved the situation by declaring
that the young man was her fiance.
The young man, by the way, had been
married some time He thought that
he had deceived the policeman; but, as
a matter of fact, he had got out Of the
frying pan into the fire. One fine day
the waitress called him before the
courts and claimed $500 for breach of
promise. The Italian had to pay. And
then came the worst of all. His wife
sued for divorce and shortly after
married another man.

One of Hooks Practical Jokes.

Theodore Hook forged 1000 letters
to 1000 tradesmen and others request
ing them to call on a certain day and
hour at the house of a wealthy widow,
Mrs. Tottenham, in Berners street,
London. against whom he had con-
ceived grudge.
These people began to arrive soon
after daybreak The rush continued
until nearly midnight They came by
fifties and hundreds.
There were 100 chimney sweeps, 100
bakers, fifty doctors, fifty dentists, fifty
accouchers, There were priests to adj
minister extreme JUNCTION and Metho-
dist ministers to offer last prayers.
There were fifty confectioners with
wedding cakes, fifty undertakers with
collins, fifty fishmongers with baskets
of cod and Holsters. They pushed,
quarreled and fought, and the police
were called out to prevent riot. FL
nally among the hoaxed ones came the
governor of the Bank of England, the
royal Duke of Gloucester and the lord
mayor of London, each lured thither
by some cunning pretext A police in
vestigation followed, but the perpetra-
tor was not detected.

Curious Greetings.

A French journal has been looking
into the question of how different races
express the colloquialism How do you
do?" and presents some curious exam
pies. The Koreans, for instance, do
not give or imply any offense when
they greet each other with the remark.
'You do look Old" Persians say, May
Allah preserve your beard and cover
it with benedictions.' Among a tribe
of Fiji islanders the correct form of
salutation is to pull ones ear. A Caro-
line islander kneels before his friend,
whose foot he grasps and slaps himself
vigorously in the face with it. In the
Sudan a traveller was addressed by a
native chief as Mighty sun, the said
chief finishing up with GLORY to thee,
O splendid moon,'' the remark being
accumulated by expectorating in the
travellers right hand.
