vidual DESTROYS of reading his paper
and a laxative person equally DESTROYS
of engaging the reserved one in con-
versation. At first the 1eticent man
took the questions of his neighbor In
good part returning short but polite
answers. Finally, however, he grew
somewhat irritated at the persistence
of the other.
THE grass is quite green, eh?' was
the idle query that next came from the
garrulous one as he gazed through the
window.

smothered growl. But. then, consider

There the quickly accommodating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever the inventor and perfecter of the en. terprise required pocket money.

Thackc:ay e!'eat>d e.,..t erruGeoCr impressions of himself by often induls- ing in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding 1t. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking in tho smoking room after dinner with vari- ous club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home, Thackeray. though disliking the man, who was notorious tuft hunter, good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but, not finding it to his liking. had the bad taste to say to Thackeray. II say, Thackeray, you won't mind my saying I don't think much of this cigarw Thackeray, no doubt irritated at the mans ungraciousness and bear ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec- tons, quietly responded, You ought to, my good fellow, for 1t was given me by a lord" Instead, however, of detecting the irony, the dolt immedi- ately attributed the remark to snob
 bishness on Thackeray's part and to the end of his days went about declar- Ing that "Thackeray had boasted that he had been given cigar by lord"

 The American in London, on his f1rs visit to that marvellous city. is struck by the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesmaH is q purveyor 10 their majesties. Yet, when the matter iS sifted, the number Is not so large.
 Officially. according to the London News there are about 200 tradesmen in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled to use the royal arms as shop sign, with the accompanying words, By royal appointment" The royal warrant has to be received. signed and sealed in due form: other wise, if a tradesman styles himself a purveyor to member of the royal family without this formal permission, he is guilty of an offense which is punishable by a fine not exceeding t2O Moreover, he is liable to a simi' lar fine if he uses arms so nearly re- sembling the royal arms as to lead people to believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalty.

Orioinal of FalstaH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though hs had fought at Agincourt. when Jack Cade invaded the borough, be showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way of 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 widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime,-Lon- don News. e~ 9>.r

ed for from the ports of entry and in every case the serum diligently and truthfully detected the presence of cholera in the suspect"
 Dr. Wyman declared that at about this time each year, the Marine Hos pital Service is called upon to stamp out a threatened invasion of Euro pean cholera. The season which now has about closed, he continued, was rather short, but had not the Marine Hospital Service been fully equ'ppel with unlimited financial means and medical skill, there would be no way of accounting for the fin al reckoning.
 Given Full Authority.
 In stamping out the disease and preventing its appearance in this country the Marine Hospital Service was authorized to adopt any methods it saw fit. Without causing any un- due inconvenience to travellers every incoming transatlantic liner was held In quarantine. Doctors were employed in this country and abroad for service at points where 1mmi- grants to this country would embark. Transportation companies were re- quired to make examinations of all passengers they were about to carry before the ship was given permis- sion to depart on it's journey to Am erica. In every way possible, the Marine Hospital Service took the ut most precautions to prevent the germs of cholera from becoming cpl iemic in the United States.
 ITO sum up the whole situation, General Wyman said, would be to say that the campaign just closed by .he Marine Hospital Service has been he most successful in it's career, and at the same time it has been made without the usual discomforting and alarming circumstances
 Not only did the service see to 1t that the immigrants who were seek lng entry into this country were free 5f the dread disease but merchandise rom cholera infected districts was 1laced under strict supervision. Lem ,n shipments from Italy were thor )ughly fumigated by doctors in the amploy of the service under the sup arvision of consular agents. On .eaching this country they were again 'umigated by the custom authorities or the purpose of making absolutely sure that every precautton had been aken against the disease Freight sonsignments from Hamburg and oth- IT points were treated in the same manner.
 The best compliment so far General Wyman continued" is the fact that there is today no case of cholera in the United States"

Tie Old EnoIish Prize Rinu,

II, the latter days of the English prize ring lnnumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. A fhsorite 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 steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Savers 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. 1t .s said, few bishops, cheerfully tpek tickets simply marked excursion.
 They presently found themselves neal Farnborough. in Surrey, where the aght occurred.-London Chronicle.

A wife Is decided addition to the demands upon ones purse. In that sease, however sensible and managing she may be. she is expensive. But everything worth having has its price of one so5t or another, and there are come thing which cost much without which life is hardly worth living.
 Said Thiers: Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up such and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to indulge. they complain that 1t Is the extravaganza of their wives which causes the incon- venience"
