he continued. 1T Is a special mistake

kniohted 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 gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodrihb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's 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.

The Old English Prize Rina.

In the latter days of the English prize ring 1nnumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. A favorite 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 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, it is said, few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the fight occurred.-London Chronicle.

Laid In a Stock.

When the late Pierre Lorillard wos a boy. his mother. being annoyed bv moths that destroyed the wooden cloth ing and other material of the house- hold. agreed to pay lnm d cent apiece for every moth he would kill in the house and bring to her The same bargain was made with his brothers Jake, George and Louis. Iit course of time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that. while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to 20 cents, Pierre drew on her frequently for S1 at A time. indorsing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future fnancier as well as his early adaptability to meth ods governing the requirement of wealth. Having procured from fur rier some pieces of fur thrown away because they were infested with moths, Pierre secreted them in an old chest in an unused closet. There the quickly accommodating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever the inventor and perfecter of the en- terprise required pocket money

Original of FaIstaH.

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 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- tolf's 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.

THE STEEPLE JACK.
lie Must Conquer Many Difficulties h
 His Dangerous Work.


 The successful steeple jack must possess determination. perseverant e and Ingenuity. He must solve many practical problem in hoisting great bodies aloft. He must know how to fasten hook over the summit of a skyscraping chimney He must have the nerve to paint a steeple that sways like a pendulum at the slender top. He must be able to tear down, build up. Elld. paint. place electric wires and do many another task that would be difficult enough on the solid earth
 There are many ways of getting up on stoeple, and when all others fail the man will tie q rope around it and then. NitA q cCil on his back, walk ronnd and round it until the entire stee''c is covered with rope. and in such case he has probably been round it fully 300 times.
 But a steeple is not the most diff cult height to climb. Straight tall chimneyS are the hardest of all There a man has to work with might and
 
 the ground to the top. Sometimes the top is 300 feet high. When it is reach ed d hook is plae cd over the edge, pulley is made fast. the swinging chair is hauled up and work begins
 When the chair is near the top 1t is easier to work. because the ropes are short. but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there is a ten dency to swing. and the wind gives impetus
 The steeple jacks safety depends upon the hook, anz. Until he has raised himself almost to lhe top it is impos sible for him to see whether or not the hook has been properly adjusted More than once a steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the iron and the col lection of soot have so thickthed the wall that the hook is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull in the wrong direction would drag ii off Again, the bricks are often loose at the top, and the hook is likely to tear them away
 One of the natural difficulties to con quer is the swaying of all high stee. pies and chimneys. In gale steeple point will sway foot and half Usually 1t sways from seven to nine inches. Painting it means reaching for a spot on the right side, and find ing 1t on the left, and. when making a dive for 1t on the left. to see 1t sway back to the right. Yet in spite of the constant danger born steeple jack ex ults in his work and is at home, like the ironworker on the skyscraper, only when high above the world. He can stand triumphantly at any height. if he can have two and one-half square inches to bear his weight.-Harper's Weekly.

MERCIFUL CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and
 Band of Pirates.

Band of Pirates.
 Caesar travelled with the retinue of man of rank, and on his way to Rhodes he fell in with an adventure which may be something more than legend When he was crossing the Aegean, his vessel is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ca rian coast, which was then in their possession, and there he was detained for six weeks with three of his attend ants, while the rest of his servants were sent to the nearest Roman sta tion to raise his ransom.
 The pirates treated him with polite ness. He joined in their sports, played games with them, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as we'll as he could. frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The ransom, a very large one. about f1O,OOO, was brought and paid, Caesar was set upon the mainland. near Mi letus, where, without a moments delay, he collected some armed vessels, returned to the island, seized the whole crew while they were dividing their plunder and took them away to Pergamus, the seat of government in the Asiatic province, where they were convicted and crucifled. Clemency was not a Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar interceded to mitigate the severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on the crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Froude.
