He Laqqed Superfluous.

Pitts6eId, in the Berkshire hills, had
in the old days. like many another
New England town. q number of men
and women who were called "charac.
ters." One of these was Bill Brown, a
man unfortunately addicted TO drink
and frequently intoxicated for days at
n time.
On one occasion he went into the
shop OF the local halter. Mr.. Smith,
and asked for the best beaver in the
store. Mr.. Smith produced the desired
article, saying as he took the money.
THAT beaver will last man u life

Bill went proudly down the main
street with his fne beaver on his head
and Immediately celebrated the event
with q protracted debauch.
When he recovered he returned to
the shop with a most disreputable hat

Penalty of the Peach.

The Egyptians appear to have been
acquainted with what is commonly
called prussic acid. the most deadly
of polsons 1t is held that they dis
titled 1t from certain plants and trees,
notably the peach. In the Louvre
there is an ancient Egyptian papyrus
from which the following has been de-
ciphered: pronounce not the name
of l. A. o. under the penalty of the
peach" This has been supposed to
be death warning to those who might
be tempted to reveal mysteries In con-
nection with the religious rites of the
priests.
The Romans probably learned of
prussic acid from the Egyptians. His

O''HfW OF NIlu E0uF fohtoTs
In medieval times. when life was
very Insecure. It was usual for people
to sleep on bed which was surround
ell by Sides OF boards with strong
posts Mt the four corners. These sides
costained sliding doors. which could
be fastened Inside. When men retired
TO rest they took weapon with them.
If attacked in the night they were
aroused by the noise made by the
crushing IN of their wooden defense
and were able to defend themselves.
When the law became strong enough
to protect human life the sides oc the
bedstead We're gradually dispensed
with, but the four posts remained.
The boxlike bedstead still survives in
the rural parts of Scotland and is al.
most necessary where the earthern
floors and imperfect ceilings cause
much damp. Emily Bronte in "Wuth-
ering Heights describes one of these
bedsteads in the old mansions as form
ing little Closet Mr.. Lockwood,
who had to sleep in 1t, says, IL slid
back the panel sides, got in with my
light, pulled them together again and
felt secure"
