reaching the suspender buttons, and
flares widely in front. High collar

QUAINT EPITAPHs.

Gems From Ancient Graveyards In
Suffolk, England.
The Suffolk England Institute of
Archaeology has been collecting cpl
taphs from the ancient graveyards
throughout the shire, and several OF
the most curious are here printed. One
shows traces of a pessimistic philoso-
ply surprising when we consider the
strong orthodoxy Of the day when the
epitaph was written:
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray.
Changed to a lifeless lump OF clay.
BY earth and clay she got her pelf,
And now she's turned to clay herself.
Who knows but in the course Of years
In sone tall pitcher or brown pan
She in her shop may stand again.
Another from Suffolk reads as fol-
lows:
Here lies Robert Wallas.
The King Of Good Fellows,
Clerk of All Hallows
n maker of bellows.
These which follow could scarcely be
lines chosen by the reverend occupant
Of the tomb himself, a clergyman
named Chest:
Here lies at rest, ! do protest,
One Chest within another.
The chest Of wood was very good.
Who says SO Of the other?
And, to conclude, here is a bit Of phil
losophy that cannot be improved by
any of the great thinkers of all time:
Here l lie outside the chancel door;
Here ! lie because I'm poor.
TIE further In the more they pay,
But here l lie as warm as they.

An Anecdots Of Peliesrin, an Eight.

The ~impecunious French poets OF the
middle eighteenth century used to con-
sort at the cafes. where sometimes
they would pick up customers. One OF
the worst and at the same time the
most facile Of the bards was Pelle-
grin, Of whom a characteristic story Is
told in IAN Eighteenth Century Mar
quise." One day a ewcom entered
the cafe and began complaining that
he was going to be married and had
no ep%itlalamium for his wedding. Pei
legrin FASTENED to offer n Of his W
compositions. A deal was soon ar
ranged. and the price agreed upon was
20 sous a verse. The poet disappeared.
The bridegroom was presently accost-
ed by a stranger. who began a con-
v~ersation on various subjects and sud-
denly said:

THE GIFT CT CAB.
Why Stephenson Thought There Was
No Power Equal to II.

Why Stephenson Thought There Was
No Power Equal to Il.
When George Stephenson was visit
ing the seat Of Sir Robert Peel at
Draytcn On one occasion, says the
writer Of Famous British Engineers"
there happened to be present DR..
auckland, the scientist, and Sir VIII
liam FolIc.t, the famous advocate.
Stephenson discussed with DR.. Buck
land one OF his fayorite theories as to
the formation Of coal and. though un-
doubtedly in the right, was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and ora
tory OF the doctor, who was a better
master Of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while bordering over his
defeat in the solitude of the garden he
was accosted ly Sir William Follett
and confided to that gentleman the
story Of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de-
tails Of the matter in dispute, agreed
to take up the ease and soon after
ward attacked DR.. auckland on the
subject. A long discussion ensued, in
which the man of law completely 81
fenced the man Of science, who was
at last compelled to own himself van
pushed. Sir Robert Peel, highly
amused Mt this example Of "tit for
tat" then turned to the inventor and
inquired, with a laugh:
"And what do you say on this mat.
ter, Mr.. Stephenson"
why he replied, II will only say
this-that of all the powers above and
under the earth there Gems to me no
power equal to the gift of the gab."

Carpets and Rugs.

Carpets and rugs were originally en-
ployed by oriental nations for sitting,
reclining and kneeling purposes during
devotion. When introduced among
the western peoples they were for a
long time used for purely ornamental
purposes, covers for tables or couches
and for laying before affairs or chairs
Of state upon great occasions. Carpets
were brought to Europe by the Moors,
but 1t was we'll into tue eighteenth
century before they came into any
thing like general use.
