Lion sions In EnqIand,

In the middle ages the country
houses Of the nobility In England when
the owners were absent we're used as
hostels for travellers. The family arms
always hung in front OF the house
and gave it q popular name among
travellers, who called lion "gulesn OF
azure simply red" or blue" AS these
mere intimations of good cheer ana
entertainment innkeepers adopted the
idea. Lions have always been and are
now very favorite signs in England
lions white, black, red, brown, golden,
yellow-red being the most common.
Probably the Red Lion originated with
the badge of John OF Gaunt, duke OF
Lancaster, who married the daughter
of Don Pedro. king Of Leon and Cas-
tile, and who adopted the lion ram
pant gules Of Leon to represent his
claim to the throne. Under Richard
and John lions became the settled
arms Of England and were generally
used by those who could find any
claim

aAnd now a word about patients who
may feel like reading" said the house
physician to the nurse. when they
ask for something to read be sure to
give them continued stories-always

monstrate. "Won't the excitement
over what Is going to happen in the

mo. Even if it does it will be coun-
teracted by the encouragement. Sick
people have queer fancies. One Of the
queerest pertains to literature. Feed
a patients mind with nothing but short
stories and he will certainly get into
his head that he is going to die so
soon that 1t isn't worth while to start
him on a long one, and he will droop
accordingly. But give him only yarns
of the observation-disclosures va
riety and he will take It for granted
that you expect him to get we'll so he
can finish the story, and he will PERI
up amazingly. Just try It."
The nurse did try 1t and found that
the doctors theory was built on sure
foundation.-New York Times.

Rock and Gull.

The rock appears to have become
the bird whose name stands for swirl
dlers in a distinctly unfair way, the
London Chronicle says at first "rook'
meant dupe, then the verb ito rock
came to mean to cheat, and out OF
this was evolved "rook," a cheater-a
complete topsy turvy process. IL is
curious that the same thing has not
happened to gull" Here also the
verb came from the substantive mean
ing dupe, and. as the gull strikes
one as rather a knowing bird, one
might have expected the same evolu
ton as in the case Of the rock. II
should be observed. however, that
gull" dupe, did not refer specially
to the seagull, the word having for
merly meant a young bird Of any
kind. In Elizabethan English it signi
ied callow youngster who wished
to be thought smart

MAN CHANGED HIS MIND.

Never having met until Tuesday,
when they suddenly fell in love and
decided to get married. Daniel Crum.
ley, aged Al, OF Askam, and Miss
Bridget Boyle, 40, of Sworyersville,
Pa, got a marriage license at Wilkes
Barre yesterday morning. Half an
hour afterward they returned it; and
asked for the return Of the license
money.
We were on on, way to the minis
ter's," explained Crumley. when We
had an argument and she began boss
ing me as if I was already her bus
baud. Now, l can stand bossing,
and, when she kept it up l just made
up my mind that I was not going to
take any chances of hearing it for the
rest OF my life. The marriage is all
off.'
They we're told they could not get the
license money back. Well, it's all
off, anyhow" exclaimed Crumley, and
tore up the license.
Miss Boyle was still arguing with
him when they left.
They met accidentally yesterday at
the home of Crumley's brother-in-law
at Swoyersrille, discovered neither had
been married and an hour afterwsld
were engaged.

GERMANY AND FRANCE.

The civilized world is being caused
nafi s3s anxiety over the strained rela'
siaus between France and Germany.
I & rs secrecy with which the negotiations
bes.y ,en the two countries is being con-
aqtsssd is regarded as ominous, and
.a4ay in positions to know expect
Europe will be rudely awakened short
ly by the announcement that the
French, and Germans are to again
settle their differences with the
sword. The Moroccan affair is said
to ne as far from satisfactory
settlement az ever; that Germany's
demands on France will no. be met
and that the former country will not
suffer any humiliation from Germany,
DO matter what may be the outcome.
These are sign; ficant words, and there
seems to be but one road QUO OF the
difficulty, and that is for Germany to
back away from her firm attitude.
The precipitation OF a war between the
two countries would be unfortunate
for many reasons. While the Uniled
States could play the part OF spec
tator, the effect would be felt in tbs
country, as the already high prices OF

now engaged in settling the most ex-
tended strike in the couutry's history,
but while the ink is drying upon the
asreements made between employers

seems to be forming from which Great
Britain cannot escape, as 1t will be I'M
