How the Debt Was Collected.

w" tIlO SCGL was SSiiSN.SNs
In the home of a certain influential
family they arose one morning 20 find
that no breakfast had been prepared,
even the kitchen Ere had not been
lighted. Upon investigation the cook
was discovered peacefully reclining in
bed
"Are you ILL.," inquired the mistress.
"Not at all. I feel quite WELL" was
the surprising response, but still no
persuasion would induce her to arise.
After a time the doctor was sent for.
He put to her his usual questions, but
the girl insisted that she felt perfectly
well.
IF, as you say, you are not i'll" said
the man Of pills and potions, then tell
me in confidence why you won't get
up and go to work"
"WeH," said the girl resoiutely,
"these people owe me S25, and I won't
stir until they pay it,
"Do you think you'll get it quicker
by staying in bed:" asked the doctor.
81 most certainly do" she replied,
with a CLEAN Of the eye that expressed
determination to fight it out on that
line if it took all summer.
The doctor, advancing. said: "Roll
over and stay there That's the only
way you'll get it. They owe me $50"

MARRIAGE In Japan.

a Japanese husband is allowed only
one wife. butSo marry is sometimes a
much more serious matter than with
US. Either the husband must be form
ally adopted into the family of the
wife or the wife into the family OF the
husband, the couple being absorbed
into one family and subject to its
discipline. As a rule, this custom
weighs more heavily on the bride than
on the husband, for she must not only
obey her husband, but every member
Of his family Of an older generation
than himself; hence young woman
often longs for old age, so that she
may WELD authority over the younger
generations. To bring about mar
rage in Japan an intermediary is ap-
pointed, whose duty it is to introduce
the parties and to look to every ar
rangement Of the wedding. he re-
mains through life. the guide, philos-
opher and friend Of the married cou-
pie, who refer all matters, all misun-
derstandings, to his counsel. = Pear

The Ruse by Which George III. Out
witted His Premier.
On Jan. 19, 1905, DR.. Manners-Sut-
ton, bishop Of Norwich, was giving
dinner party in his Windsor deanery
when his butler Informed him that a
gentleman wished particularly to see
him, but would not give his name.
ssWel, I can't come now in the mid
dle Of dinner" said the bishop.
sBeg pardon, my lord, but the gen.
tleman is very anxious to see you on
important business" and the butler
was so urgent that the bishop apollo
sized to his company and went out.
The gentleman who would not be de-
MED proved to be King George III.
Glow dye do, my lord?" said he.
"Come to tell you that you're arch
bishop of Canterbury-archbishop OF
Canterbury. Dye accept-accept? En-.
eh?''
The bishop bowed low in token of
acceptance.
"All right" said his majesty.
"You've got party-see all their hats
here. Go back to them. Good night"
Next morning Pitt appeared at Wind
sor castle to inform his majesty that
Archbishop Moore had died the day be-
fore and to recommend the bishop OF
Lincoln, DR.. Pretyman, for the vacant
primacy.
every sorry, very sorry, indeed
Pitt" said the king, "but offered it to
the bishop of Norwich last night, and
be accepted. Can't break my word"
Pitt was very angry, but the deed
was done, as the king meant it should
be, and so DR.. Manners-Sutton became
archbishop Of Canterbury and held the
great Office for twenty-three eventful
yecrs. Michael McDonagh in Cham

Returned by the Glacier.

One of the first instances on record
Of body returned by a Swiss glacier
is that Of the Hamel accident, which
took place in 1920 Several guides
were swept down by an avalanche and
hurled into crevasse. Han1el prophe-
sled that the glacier would yield them
up again in the course Of a thousand
years. but Dr.. Forbes believed that
the end Of the glacier would be reach
ed by the bodies in forty years. This
statement was considered bold, but
its accuracy was borne out by the
event. In forty years the flow of ice
brought the bodies to light
In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost
in a glacier. In just thirty-one years
his brother received telegram from
the mayor Of Chamouri that the body
was found Every article Of clothing
was intact His name and regiment
could be read clearly on his handker-
chief, and his gold pencil case opened
and shut as easily as when he last
used it three decades before.-"True

LAWYERS on Strike.

In 1889 John Scott, earl Of Clon-
nell, who was lord chief justice Of
ireland, made some insulting remarks
from the bench to Mr. Hacket, mem
Der Of the bar, who was conducting
an argument before him. a general
meeting Of the bar was called, Sc
we're condemnation Of his lordship's
conduct voted with only one dis
sentient and en- unprecedented resolu-
ton passed that until mis- lordship pub
licly apologized 10 barrister would Ell
ther take a brief, appear in the kings
bench or sign any pleadings for the
court. This strike experiment was
actually made. The judges sat, but
no counsel appeared, no cause was
prepared, the attorneys all vanished,
and their lordships had the court all
to themselves. There was no alterna-
tive, and next day Lord Clonnel pub
lished a very ample apology by adVer-
tisement in the newspapers and made
it appear as if written on the evening
Of the ofense and therefore Voiun-
tary.-London Law Times.

More Exciting Than the Play.

A countryman on one cf his rare Wis

business, visited the local theater and
patroniZed that part Of the house
known as 1.-The GODS" obtaining seat
in The front row. He had provided
himsel with refreshments before en-
tering in the form Of bag of cakes
and a bottle OF mineral water.
As the performance progressed he
consumed these and, becoming abb
sorbed in thrilling passage, was alb
sently toying with the empty bottle on
the ledge in front Of him when be ac-
cidentally allowed it to fall over.
Horror stricken, he instantly looked
down and was just in time to see the
bottle drop heavily on to the bald head
of a man below. who, not noticing
whence the attack came, jumped to
the conclusion that his neighbor was
the aggressor. he seized the bottle
and hit the other man smartly across
the head with it
Our friend above had now seen

the place, observing when be reached
the exit two angry, struggling men
being ejected.-London Tit-Bits.

IN the absence of the regularly cp-

had reluctantly consented to make
presentation speech.

SHAKESPEARE and Che Actors.

Why do we call Gar:ick a great ac-

time acclaimed him one. Davies tells
US how his first performance of Rich

reiterated applause. How his "look

words,
"Of with his head; so much for Buck

Richard Mansfield once asked Frank
Z. Nankivell to make picture of him.
The actor explained that he wanted
an imitation of an old Roman coin
with his own profile shown instead Of
Caesars.

or shall idealize it a bit?" asked Nan

artist made a sketch Of his patron.
When the completed picture-a splen-

were embossed-was shown to Mr..
Mansfield he was not pleased.
''It looks like a prizefghter," said
Mr. Mansfield.

There was a further exchange Of

"A PEG Too Low.

a tankard was made of precious
metals, of pewter or Of wood. Among
the most ancient specimens are the
"peg tankards." These are said to have
been introduced by st. Dunstan as
check on the intemperance Of his day.
Pegs marked the tankard at intervals,
beyond which the drinker was not to

An EIephant Bridge.

In ancient times in India famous
general used elephants to bridge a
stream. He possessed a battalion OF
over 500 elephants, and, approaching a
river where the stream was too rapld
for his troops to cross. he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed SIDE
by side, facing up and down the
stream. Then planks were brought
and laid from the back Of one elephant
to that Of another, and over them the
troops passed in safety, the only trou-
bic experienced being the showers OF
water which the elephants kept up oE
sucking up the refreshing liquid ID
their trunks and tossing it over their
bodies.

Why the Earth Cannot Explode.


The theory is frequently advanced
that planets and even suns sometimes
explode and that the earth may some
day blow up like bombshell. No
celestial body the size Of the earth
could possibly explode. If the entire
molten interior Of our globe could be
replaced with nitroglycerin and deto-
mated the explosion would not lift the
earth's crust In other words, if we
assume that the crust Of the earth is
from fifty to a hundred miles in thick
ness it would require something much
more powerful than even nitroglycerin
to burst the shell. It is necessary only
to do a little figuring to see that the
pressure Of the earth's crust at a
depth Of from fifty to q hundred miles
far exceeds the pressure exerted by
the most powerful high explosive
Hudson Maxim.
