Very Aaaravatlna.

Most trying companions are they
whose first thought concerns them
selves and their possessions. A girl
who lived with her aunt was often
disturbed by evidences of the old
lady's selfishness. -
One day in going down the cellar
for some butter she tripped and fell
heavily quite distance. The maid
en- aunt rushed to the door and,
peering down into the darkness,
called out sharply:
''D'ye break the dish ?"
"Nop' thundered back the niece,
for once thoroughly aroused. "No,
but 1 will" And she shivered it
with hearty good will against the
cellar wall.
The old lady was so shocked by
this dramatic reproof that she took
to her bed and kept it for week.

pisburgh, in Norfolk, is pronounced
"Hazeboro. Abergavenny simply
drops syllable and becomes "Aber-

Neots sounds more like "Snoots"
than anything else. Cirencester
seems to vary from "Sister" to
"Sizeter." In Suffolk Waldring-
field is "Wunnerful" and Chelmon-
diston "Chimston," while in the ad-
joining county of Norfolk Hun
stanton is 'Hunston," and in the

FADS OF CRIMINALS.
Murderers Who Were Particular as to
Personal Appearance.

Oscar Slater, who murdered Miss
Gilchrist in her Glasgow fat, prov
ed himself a typical dandy even in
the condemned cell and also Il
stickler for the proprieties. He in
sisted, for instance, from the very
beginning in being called "Mr,"
Slater, and each morning he chang
ed his linen, varied his neckwear
and demanded polished boots.
Similar exhibitions of -strutting
peacock vanity are not uncom-
mon OIL the part of men doom
ed to die on the gallows. Vain
wright on the day preceding his
execution absolutely refused to
dress because his clean linen had
not arrived from the laundry, and
a new shirt and collar had to be
bought for him. When the even
ing arrived-his last on earth-he
craved smoke. A pipe and to-
bacco were brought to him, but he
rejected them with disdain. He
would have cigar. And he got it.
LEROY, who murdered poor old
Mr.. Gold in railway carriage on
the way to Brighton, wore an even
ing dress suit during the whole of
the period that elapsed between his
condemnation and his execution;
also he was greatly upset at the re-
fusal Of the authorities to allow
him to be hanged in new silk hat
presented to him in court.
AS rule, however, the thoughts
of the condemned turn mostly to-
ward food. Rush, the Stansfeld
Hall murderer, was an educated
man. ''I want my slippers and the
Times" were his first words on re-
turning to Jail after his conviction.
But little later he called for pen
and paper and wrote out an order
for his next days dinner, "Pig and
plenty of apple sauce"
In those days it was the custom
to give capital convicts whatever
they asked for in the way of food.
But the rule was abolished soon
afterward, one of the first delin-
quents to come under the new regu-
lations being certain Jeffrey, who
murdered his six-year-old child by
hanging him in a cellar in Seven
Dials. He was unaware of the al
teration and called for roast duck
directly he entered the condemned
cell, and when it was refused him
he behaved SO violently that he had
to be put in straitjacket.-Pear-
sons Weekly.
