An Aduatic TradedY.

When visitors came. Bobby was often turned out of his room and into the garret for q night or two. He did not object to this. but he felt that it endangered certain cherished possess sions. When his uncle, the clergy man. arrived unexpectedly one night Bobby was transferred to his garret quarters ia haste and with small cere- mony and neglected to take any pre- cautions to guard his treasures.
 T have to thank the thoughtful per son who placed a glass of water on the table near the bed last night" said the clergy man the next morning T awoke in the night and found it re- freshing-most refreshing

Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are singuiariy useful They are of primary impor- tance in glassmaking. They have an important place in warfare, as bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rifle shots. The elec trical properties of sand show that it has positive electricity. although q rod of silica. the chief constituent of sand. Is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc- CUTS vhpu a stretch of wet sand is pressed by the foot is due entirely tG an alteration in the piling of the sand grains Normally the grains are close together but abnormal piling is brought about by pressure of the foot. the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter fhaa ever. the partial vacuum quickly ringing water from the sur rounding sand.

Tho Old English Prize Ring,

Tn the latter days of the English prize ring lnnumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. 1 faror1te plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial Jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan in 1860 a special train was run from Lon don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets. pugilists. clergy and, it is said, a few bishops. cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" ," They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the fight occurred.-London Chronicle.

Original of FaIstaH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's FaIstaf and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival Of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolfs matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for, having married a widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tanee during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News.

Who Got the Baby?

Once upon time crocodile stole a baby and was about to make dinner of it. The frantic mother begged so piteously for the child that the croco- dile said:
 Tell me one truth and you shall have your baby again
 The mother replied, You will not give him back to me-"
 Then said the crocodile. "by our agreement shall keep him, for if you have told the truth I am not going to give him back, and if it is lie I have also won'
 But the mother said. If I told you the truth you are bound by your prom ise, and if it is not the truth It will not be lie until you have given me my child

knIahted Actors.

It is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer knighthood on I gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Tictorias diamond jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. How
 ever, the three actors knighted by King Edward bore cognomens of their own invention. Sir Charles Wyndham was born Culverwell, and Sir John Hare, Fairs. As for Sir Herbert Beer bohm Tree, his brilliant wife once put 1t ' Tree is fantastic thing we just tacked on. We're all plain Beerbohms plain as brother Max..'-Argonaut.

"Great Expectations."

Charles Green. one of Dickens H. illustrators, had two models, one of whom was a likable fellow, while the other, Gregory by name, was a greedy, self seeking character, always think ing of himself and his perquisites.
 When Green was on his deathbed Gregory was very officious, and one day Green, noticing this. said to him:
 "Oh, I haven't forgotten you, Greg ory; got you down in my will"
 At the funeral Gregory invested in a wreath and duly attended to hear the will read.
 Green had kept his word, and the model was not forgotten.
