The Rawbee.

Engllshmen are familiar with the
name "bawbee," applied to the Scotch
halfpenny, but to few does 1t bring the
association of baby queen and 10y
al people. 1t appears that the first at
tempt at the portraiture of the unfor-
tunate Mary, queen of Scots, was made
in her infancy, and her small face was
engraved upon the Scottish halfpen-
MES at the time OF her coronation in
1913. when she was but nine months
old. A number of these small coins
are still preserved, and 1t will be east
ly understood how the name "bawbee."

bearing the effigy of the baby. The

The Man GUESSED Rinh.

In a church at Amsterdam there Is a
very ancient funeral monument of
white marble on which are engraved a
pair of slippers of very singular kind
with this inscription, "Effen Nyt,"
which means exactly" and the story
OF this singularity is this: A man
who was very rich, but who was a bon
want, took 1t into his head that he
was to live certain number of years
and no longer. Under the impression
of this idea he calculated that IL he
spent so much year his estate and
his life would expire together. 1t hap
pened that he was not mistaken in
either of his calculations; he died pre-
cisely at that time which he had pre-
scented to himself in fancy and had
then brought his fortune to such a
predicament that after the paying of
his debts he had nothing left but a
pair OF slippers. His relations buried
him in a creditable manner and had
the slippers carved on his tomb with
the above laconic advice.-Tales and

A Curious snis. custnn,-

In one part or the canton OF Ticino,

The inmates ask him his business. and
he soiicits the hand of his chosen
maiden. IL his answer is deemed sat
isfactory he is successfully introduced
to a number of matrons and maids,
some perhaps deformed and others old
and ugly. Then he is presented to
some large dolls, all of whom be re-
jects with scorn amid general merri-
ment The bridegroom. whose temper
is sometimes sorely tried. Is then in
formetS that his ladylove is absent
and IS invited to come in and see for
himself. He enters and searches from
room TO room until be finds her in her
bridal dress ready TO go to church.
Then all bis anxiety is at an end, and

When a Peanut SPROUTS.

"Few persons are perhaps aware
that thing Of beauty is a common
peanut plant growing singly In six
or eight inch pot and grown indoors
during the colder weather." said flo
rist. Kept in warm room or by the
kitchen stove, peanut kernel planted
in pot of loose mellow loan and only
moderately moistened will soon germi-
nate and grow up into a beautiful
plant, extending its branches over the
pot. The leaves close together like
the leaves of a book on the approach
of night or when q shower begins to
fall upon them. The plant bears tiny
yellow flowers. There is nothing else
just like It."

Lengthy and Monotonous.

One of the most curious contracts
entered into by an operate artist was
that agreed to by Farinelli. When he
visited Spain, Philip v. was suffering
from mental depression, from which
nothing aroused him until the arrival
Of Farinelli. The queen was so de
lighted to see her royal spouse once
more interested that she engaged Fari-
nelli at a salary of $4,000 to remain in
Madrid This he did, singing the same
four songs to the king every night for
ten years.

WATERSPoUTS.
Old Time Mariners Fought Them With
Noise and Cannon.

Old Time Mariners Fought Them With
Noise and Cannon.
In the waterspout the medieval
mariner saw a malevoIent living mon
ster-a sea dragon. There were vari-
Gus means Of combating them. Once
all sailors carried black handled knives,
which the monster was believed to
hold in special adherence.
When n spout made its appearance
these knives were produced and point
ed In its direction, waved I'm the air so
as to make the sign of the cross or, ac-
cording to the recommendation of GER
tain contemporary authorities, driven
several times into the side of the ship.
Certain passages from the gospel of
st. John were recited as charms
against waterspouts.
A loud noise OF any kind was also
believed to be efficacious against them
shouts. the clash Of swords, the beat
ing of drums and gongs, etc. The GUS
tom of firing cannon against water
spouts, says the Scientific American,
dates back at least as far as the six
teenth century. The original idea ap-
pears to have been to brighten them
away by the noise Of the report, but in
the later times 1t was believed that the
watery column could be cut In twain
by the cannon bali and the spout thus
dlssipated. 1t would be interesting to
know whether the cannonading of wa
terspouts is still sometimes practiced.
1t was certainly common much less
than century ago. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that it is entirely futile.

crew of the steamed Hanalei. playing
between San Francisco and San Pedro
are convinced that their vessel has
been adopted by whale.
For a third time in two weeks the
little steamer has been escorted for
a considerable distance off Point Sur
by a leviathan. From this point the
whale has accompanied the vessel
each time to within a few miles of
San Francisco.
Members of the crew believe the
whale is the mate of one which was
cut in two by the steamer Hecla
some months ago and has adopted
the Hanalei as its new mate.
