on Monday to be wearing that smile
that won't come off. Mr.. Morris
confded to his friends the cause Of
his delight was not due to the adj

Most Awkward.

An old, steady going farmer was ac, eustomed to ride to the market town upon rather bad tempered horse.
 One day his man Bob brought the animal. which was especially vicious that morning. to the door. the horse trying to bite and kick and giving n good deal of trouble.
 The farmer mounted the horse with some difficulty and began to walk it out of the yard when Bob who stili entertained i'll feeling against the ami mal. picked rn stone and flung it at him with all his force: put, alas, his aim was cratic. and the missile struck his master on the head
 Half dazed for moment. the farmer turEad slowly in his saddle, and, not suspecting the real cause of the blow Ae measured with his eye the horses hind hoofs and his own head and, set. ting himself in the saddle again, started off with the remark. "Well, he ailus was an okard heggar."-Londou Scraps

Laid In a Stock.

When the late Pierre Lorillard was a boy, his mother, being annoyed by moths that destroyed the woolen cloth Ing and other material of the house. bold, agreed to pay him 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. IIi course of time Mrs. Lorilard noticed that while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to 20 cents. Pierre drew on her frequently for a S1 at a time. indorsing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future financier as well as his carly 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 sccrcted them in an old chest in m unused closet. There the quickly accommodating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever the inventor md perfecter of the en- terprise required pocket money.

kniqhted 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 Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Yictorias 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. As for Sir Herbert Beer bohm Tree, his brilliant wife once put 1t ""rree' is fantastic thing we just tacked on. We're all plain Beerbohms plain as brother Aax!'-ArEonaut

Oriulnal of EaIstaH.

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 Aglncourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he 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 lifstime.-Lou- don News.

An Ancient industry.

1t would be difficult to say where exactly and at what date the manufac- ture of cotton fabrics began. In com paratively modern times, says Country Life, il has become an industry of i'm portance in Europe. but it has -four ished in the east from period too re mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials, for fragments of such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civi. nzation, and there Is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture. In China, too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com mon wear of the people from time i'm memorial n fact. everywhere througi out the eae cotton fabrics were pro duced and used long before the primi tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graees of civilization or in. deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad sayages.

 In the latter days of tho English prize ring innuMsrable expedients had te be devised to bring of . fight. A favsrite plan was ts pitch tho ring on tho borders of two counties. so that the question of maSisterial 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 Sayers and Heenan fin 1860 . special train was run from Lon don bridge to a secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers. pick pockets, pugilists, clergy and. 1t is said. a few bishops. cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough. in Surrey, where the 6ght occurred.-London Chronicle.

The Thorn Crown.

The thorns that had crowned the brow of the King fell in crimson wreath at the foot of a cross upon . hill called Calvary. and they cried to the darkness to hide them from the night of men-to shadow them forever beneath the nights black wings. And welcome was the dark to them and all tho thunder of the skies. But when the night was done and light came with the morning white roses bloomed above them, so that the red upon theli speaEs was hidden, and men. behold
 ing. maryeled at the flowers. nor saw the thorns that had wounded the brow of the beautiful King. And the nams of the roses was Love-even that Love which shelters in its own bosom the shaft that wounds 1t and makes eartt and heaven sweeter with forgiveness
