The Old English "TumbIer."

The old-fashioned English tumbler, which insisted on reverting to an erect position, no matter how frequently it was knocked over, possessed merits This was the original form of drinking tumbler-hence the name.

TWO FAULTS COULD BE CURED.
Prospective Husb7rd ard Wife Both
 Full of Confidence.

An Irish boy marries when he hos rid house, and an Irish girl just when she pleases, says Seumas MacMa1us, in Lippincott's. Sometimes she so pleases while yet her years are few; at other times she is content to wait upon wisdom. In the latter case, of course, she makes wise choice; but in the former almost always a lucky one-for luck is the guardian angel of the Irish.
 You're too young to marry yet, Mary" the mother said, when Mary pleaded that she should grant Laurence O'Mahony particular boon
 If you only have patience, mother, I'll cure meself of that fault was Mary's reply.
 And she's never been used to work, Laurence the mother said to the suitor, discouragi1gly.
 "If you only have patience, maam,' was Laurence's reply to this, "I'll cure her of that fault" And he did, too.
