George iii. and The Wiamakers.

fore him.
When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace, however. II was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves.
AS this seemed unfair to the onlook-
ers they seized several of the leading
processionists and cut their hair with
any implement that came most readily
to hand.
From this incident arose host of
curious caricatures. The wooden leg
makers were said to haze especial
claims on the kings consideration, in
asmuch as the conclusion of peace had
deprived them of profitable source
of employment; hence the suggestion
that his majesty should not only wear
a wooden leg himself. but enjon the
people to follow his laudable example.

Making Sure of the Architect.

Norman-Al-Oouar, an Arabian king
who reigned long, long ago at Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him wondrous palace. This
the architect did and when 1t was
done single stone fastened the whole
structure, and the colors Of the walls
changed frequently during the day.
The king was greatly pleased and
showered all kinds of rich gifts upon
the builder with the lavishness of ori-
entail kings. But monarchs were
treacherous in those old days. and it
occurred to the king that Sennemar
might build palace equal in beauty
or even superior for some rival ruler.
The more he thought over it the more
Jealous he became until one day he
ordered the architect to be thrown
from the top Of the palace to make
certain that no duplicate palace would
be made. After this the king was sat
isfied that his palace was the only
one, and the Arabians regarded it as
one of the wonders of the world.

THE SPIDER.

It Differs From an Insect In Five Main
Particulars.
The spider Is not an insect. though
probably nine people out of ten would
class 1t under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form class in
the animal kingdom known as arach-
nida. This name is derived from a
mythical parsonage called Arachne
the daughter Of a purple dyer Of Ly-
dia, who was tabled to have chal-
lenged Minerva to a trial of skill In
spinning. So indignant was the god
dess at this act of boldness that she
forthwith transformed the hapless
challenger into a spider, presumably
in order that she might have the best
possible opportunity of practicing the
art on which she prided herself so
much.
Spiders differ from insects in five
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead Of compound, they have
eight legs in place of six, they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic of insects
they have no antennae and their
breathing is accomplished by means of
organs which combine the functions
Of lungs and gills instead of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
Of distinction are sufficient to deter
mine the fact that it is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

TOO COMPLICATED.
The Reason We Say "You" Instead of
Using "Thou."

using "Ihou.'
The reason commonly given for the
substitution of the second person
plural for the second person singular,
.'you" instead of "thou"-that it origi-
mated as fad of courtesy-may ex.
plain its origin, but its universal adop-
ton is due TO deeper reason-namely,
that the second person singular of the
verb is complicated and difficult
form, while the second person plural
is simple to the last degree.
With every principal verb in the Ian
guage and with every auxiliary except
"must" the pronoun thou" requires a
special change in the form of the verb,
which is often the only break in an
otherwise uniform series. Thus In the
present tense of every verb, with the
single exception of the verb be" the
pronoun you" employs the unchanged
root form If the verb. MS you love,
have, can do. shall, Will" etc. while
thou" requires change Of form, as

In every such choice the unchanged
root form has always the right of way
Thus you has become everywhere

The Paper They Were Written On.

The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts. simply as such, irrespective of
the nature of the text. were immense
ly valuable. In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from a
commercial point of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usur-
ers were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. 1t is related in an
ancient tome that student Of Pavia,
who was reduced by his debaucherles,
raised new fortune by leaving In
pawn manuscript Of a body Of law.
and grammarian who was ruined by
fire rebuilt his house with two small
volumes Of Cicero through the ready
aid of the pawnbroker.
