An Artists Joke,

Holman Hunt, who began life as a
clerk to an auctioneer and estate
agent, was constantly drawing por-
traits when he should have been draw
ing up leases, and in his chosen pro-
fession he was never slow to seize the
flying moment. The windows in his
room were made of ground glass, and
as he had little to do he spent much
Of his time in drawing flies upon it's
roughened surface. A blot of ink suf-
feed for the body and some delicate
pencil strokes for the wings, and at a
distance the deception was perfect
Day by day the number increased, and
one morning his employer came in,
stopped before the window and ex-
claimed: II can't make out how it is.
Every day that I come into this room
there seem to be more and more flies ~
And, taking out his handkerchief, he
attempted to brush them away.

THRASHlNG SERVANTS,
Domestic Life In England In the Time
Of Henry Viii.

0o"eSt'e Ito IN england IN the ] ime
Of Henry Viii.
In that remarkably minute chronicle
OF domestic life in England in the
time of Henry VIII, Tusser's give
Hundred Points of Good Husbandry,"
the learned and pious author seems
to take it for granted that the only
way Of dealing with maidservants is
to thrash them numerically.
He tells us in his inimitable doggerel
that "a maid must be forced to be
clearly" or she is to be "made to cry
creak." Mistresses are advised ''to go
about with holly wand in their hand,
although they may not always have
occasion to use it, and to pay home
when they fight"-that is to say,
thrash-''but not to be always child
ing AS regards the laundry, the
domestic serfs are warned to take
heed when they wash or run in the
lash and to wash well, wiring we'll and
beat well, so that if any lack beat
ing it will be themselves"
AS for the unhappy Cicely, the dairy
maid, she is to cry "creak"-that is to
say, to be thrashed-if her cheese is
''hoven'' or pulled up, and if the
cheese be tough Cicely is to have "a
crash" If the cheese be spotted
Cicely is to be amended by the bayes,
and If it be too full of whey the
wretched dairymaid is to have "a
dressing" Finally, if any maggots are
found in the cheese, mistress is to be

Tho Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after Sc
dan, the town where it was first used.
The earliest mention of it in England
occurs in 1881. Early in the following
century the Duke of Buckingham
caused much indignation by it's use in
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place OF horses to car
~ him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1923 three curiously wrought
sedans, two Of which he gave to the
Duke Of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their Introduction Massinger pro-
duced his play, ''The Bondman," and
in it he thus adverts to the ladies':
For their pomp and care being borne
In triumph on mems shoulders.
The reference is doubtless to Buck

Tho MAGNETIC PoIes

The magnetic poles are not station
airy. The northern one is slowly NOV

parallel and in the course Of three or
four hundred years will probably have
encircled the geographic north pole
and returned to about it's present loca-

pole follows a corresponding course
about the geographic south pole. In
such cities in the United States as
Omaha, Sioux City, Topeka, Galveston,

Patchwork.

The idea that patchwork had it's
origin in America is not founded on
fact. A thousand years before the
Christian era a queen of Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting place
under a wonderful canopy of skins
that were dyed and pieced together in
a mosaic pattern. Years before this
work had reached perfection and ac-
quired definite place among the arts.
Then, too, patchwork quilts were made
in England in the eighteenth century,
as witness the lines written by Cow
per to a Mrs. King upon receipt of "a
kind present of patchwork quilt Of
her own making Woman's Home
Companion.

- Very Simple Matter, According to

There is nothing like having one
dmepiece to correct the mistakes of

clock in every room Of the house will
no doubt be glad to learn Of the ex>
pedient adopted by an old colored JAM
tor in an Office building in Chicago.
One day man whose Office was un-

he had the exact time. "Just a mo-
ment, SIR" he said and pulled out a
battered silver watch from a vest
pocket, looked at it, put it back and
then took a pencil outs of another
pocket and jotted down something on
the back of an envelope.
Next he produced a second silver
watch from his trousers pocket, looked
at 1t and began to figure out some
thing on the paper. By and by he
said:
when you asked, sir, it were jest

"Why, you see," said the old man,
'this watch that carry in my vest is
mighty good watch, only it gains ten
minutes every day. And this one is a
mighty good one, too, but it loses ten
minutes every day. So I just look at
them both and then strike an average.

Earliest Use of Mineral Ink.

In ancient times india ink, made
from lampblack and glue, was used
for writing on papyri, but inspection
of the earliest vellum or parchment
MSS. shows that iron gall inks were
introduced not later than the ninth
century. The reason for the change
was that, although a carbon ink is
more permanent, it has no penetrating
power and can be sponged from the
vellum, whereas the iron ink bites in
to the fibers and resists the destruc-
tive action of both air and light.

Topham, the prince of English

over the back Of his neck and then
force the ends forward until they met
before his face. On one occasion he

and swapping them in two as easily as
if they had been pine sticks.

Monday morning about O'Clock
near Penland, N. G.; on the c., q. Il o.
Ry., a big 2G0-ton engine in charge of
Engineer John Mccarthy, of Lynch
burg, and Fireman Able refused to
take curve and the front trucks Jump
ed the track. Before Engineer Nc
Carthy could stop the monster il had
rolled down an embankment into Toe
river. 1t turned over one and half
times and Engineer Mccarthy was
pinned under it and instantly killed.
Fireman Able was more fortunate.
He was thrown into the river and sus-
tanned broken rib and a sprained
foot. He was badly bruised, but quick
ly waded out of the water.
The engine was pulling only seven
or eight cars, and poking along, SO to
speak. 1t is thought the light load
more than anything else caused the
engine to leave the track. Only the
front trucks of one of the cars left the
track.

rushed to the scene from this city.

EREE LIST BILL
WILL BE VETOED

Washington, Aug. 8.-The situation
in congress, summed up briefly, is this:
The free list bill will be agreed to by
both houses and put up to the presi-
dent, who will veto it. The wool bill
is the rcck on which the democrats
and insurgents may split and there is
much talk that it may go over until
December. The cotton bill stands
good chance of passing the senate. The
date of adjournment, it is general be-
lief, will occur somewhere around Au-
gust Is. Oscar Underwood is pessimis-
tic over the outlook for an agreement
on the wool bill. He has been unable
to make any headway with Senator La
