A Very ResefuI Rest.

] Adolf NIenzel, the German artis4, was at one time engaged on a mural deco ration. He had rigged up scaffo1dine in his studio, on which his model was requested to stand. For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aIoft in a most fatiguing posture. Nfenzel in the meantime worked at his sketch needless of the fact that his modeLwas growing tired.
 At length the model found it ueces- sary to speak. "Herr professor said he, "how about a recess ?''
 denzel apologized profusely for his forgetfulness. Certainly, certainly, my dear sir," said he. Come down and rest yourself a bit.''
 The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder, which led down from it to the studio floor.
 ''Stopr' cried the artist suddenly. ttThat pose is fine! Don't move a mus clev'
 . And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity, while the enthu- him.
 At the end of half an hour MenzeI looked up from his work. There 9 said he; ''that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again. 9
 What the model said is left to the readers magination.

Mrs. Gru'ndy.

The first mention of Mrs fGrundy is found in Morton's clever comedy Speed the Flow" Farmer Ashfeld, at table with his jug and pipe, is talk ing to his wife on her return from mar ket.
 "Well, dame, welcome whoam. What news does thee bring vrom market?'
 What news, husband? What I al- ways told you-that Farmer Grundy' s wheat brought 5 shfllings a quarter more than ours did.'
 "All the better floor hev'
 "Ah, the sun seems to shine on pur- pose for him.''
 "Come, come, missus, as thee has not the grace to thank God for prosperous times, dan't three grumble when they be unkindly a bit.''
 And I assure you Dame Grundy's s butter was quite the crack of the mar ket.''
 '.Be quiet, wool ye? Always ding dinging Dame Grundy into my ears: What will Mrs. Grundy say? What will Mrs. Grundy think?' Canst thee be quiet? Let UT alone and behave myself pratty!'

Scotland and Horse Racing.

Scotland has been famous for it's ef1orses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians, A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve it's native breed of horses, and in this connection it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l., did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James l. was the real author of horse racing as 1t has since been known in England. He it was who first established regu- lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tions that led up to the modern laws of the turf Nobody deRfes that horse racing has done much for the breed of British horses It was a gift from standardization Answers.

Sizing Up Bernard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw is thus immortalized by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English comedian: "Once on q time I had a mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Tell I wrote to Shaw and asked his permission. He answered that he would come and read it to me. He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought it was the best play that ever was writ ten and at others he considered it the greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that it was pretty poor play and that if produced it-weIl, must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw If could compress @the last act. He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies had at last to tell him that couldn't pro- duce the play. His answer was: Thank you so much! You have taken great load off my mind.' Now, what are you to do with a man like that?o-. Minneapolis Journal.
