Professional Orators.

When Lord Rosmead, then Sir Her.
cules Robinson. was governor of New
South Wales, in the early seventies, it
fell to his lot to admit the erstwhile
cannibal kingdom of Fiji as an in
tegral part of the British empire.
During the incidental ceremonies he
noticed that none of the great fighting
chiefs spoke in person and that each
Of them had professional orator on
his staff. AS an Irishman, with a
strong sense of humor, Sir Hercules
was naturally tickled by such novel
situation, and when he got back to
Sydney he repeatedly eulogized the ar
rangement, pointing out that the man
of action was very rarely man of
words and that civilization might very
well learn a lesson from Pacific chiefs.

of which is given on a label which it

which is not surprising when one con
siders that it carried the United States
mail between Portsmouth and Boston
during the Revolution. 1t is about
nine inches long. four and half
inches wide and little more thar
that in height. 1t was carried OIL
horseback by Captain John Noble
otherwise known as Deacon Noble
who was post rider until 1888. This
box contained all the mail and made
every week one round trip, occupying
three days in the journey-from Ports
mouth to Boston the first of the week
and three days at the end of the week
from Boston to Portsmouth. The dis
tance between the two places is lit

Rounded Knife Blades.

Until the seventeenth century knife
blades had pointed ends. as can be
readily understood when the knife Of
those days was used for hunting and
table purposes indlscriminately. The
rounded end was introduced from
France in curious way. II happened
that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled
to entertain at his table certain Chan
cellor Sequier-a vulgar and unmanner-
~ man. who at the close of the meal
proceeded to use his knife as tooth.
pick. This vulgar act so upset the
cardinal that he ordered the end of
every knife In his possession to be
rounded, and so great was Richeieu's
influence that the fashion was soon
adopted all over the country. This is
the vulgar, but nevertheless interest
ing, origin of the rounded knife of
today.-Pearson's Weekly.
