WnIine to Hstp.

Lord Pauncefote suffered erssa rom rheumatic gout in bis latter days. and he walked stiffiy and sometimes had to use two canes He went one afternoon to make call. and he re- nained quite long time, so long that he horses got restive. and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the housr The carriage was not in front, and. Thinking there was some mistake tn Dis orderR he started to walk to the
 mbassy, which was only a square OF two. But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavements were icy. He was a large, heavily built man. and he feared a fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came young man in working clothes. and the British ambassador. after a courteous salutation, asked: My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home? It is just short ways, but am afraid of falling. I shall greatly appreciate it." The young man looked him over and then said thickly, "old gent, I am pretty full myself. but I'll do the best I can-the very best can."

From the Kitchen.

Has it ever struck one what num- Der of terms belonging to cuisine are applied to man under different circum- stances? Sometimes he is "basted," he 'boils with rage," is baked" with heat and "burns'' with love or jeal- ousy. He is often "cut up," "deveur- ed" with flame and "done brown. We dress his jacket for him. Some times he Is ''eaten up" with care, and occasionally he is "fried." We cook bis goose for him, and often he makes goose" of himself. We make a "hash' of him. and sometimes he makes hash of something else. He gets into "hot water" and sometimes into "mess." Is made into "mince meat" and is often in pickle" We are ofteu asked to "toast" him, and he is frequently put into "stew" or is In d stew" no one knows why. A soft" is "haif baked" and one severe iy handled is we'll ''peppered.' A cheeky young imp is a sauce box, and rich father is made to "fork' out.-Dundee Advertiser.

Saracen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill. now closed. reached back to a respectable antiquity. In "Dick Tarlton's Jests" 1t is referred to as "the Saracen's Head without Newgate." and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of travellers" which "hath to sign the Sarazen's Head" Its pre-. eminent interest, however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given a vivid description of the old Inn as it was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that it was set up as a compliment to the mother of Thomas Beckett, who was the daughter of g Saracen. In Selden's Fable Talk" we read, When our countrymen came home from lighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge, big, terrible faces, as you still see the sign of the Saracen's Head is."-London Chronicle.

First cantaiever Bridge.

The first cantalever railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It is nearly ono and a half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost S16,- 100000 and ffty-six lives. The work. men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection it WIS found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the span. For a time this was a puzzle. but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.
