"King Edward" said an English WIS.,
itor III New York, hated snobbish-
ness. To show how ridiculous snob-
bishneSs was he used often to tell
about an alphabet book of his child
hood.
This book had alliterative sentences
arranged under each letter, thus:
Jealous Caroline caned a cur cruel
ly.'
Henry hated the heat Of heavy
hats
Under the letter V came the face
tiouS sentence:
"'Villiam Wilkins wiped his veskit.'
But the young princes Snobbish
tutors thought this sentence too vulgar
and low tor their charge and accord
ingly they substituted for it the more
refined and genteel line:
Vincent Vining viewed a vacant
villa"

MERCIFUl CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and
Band of Pirates.

Band of Pirates.
Caesar travelled with the retinue of Il
man of rank, and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with all adventure
which may be something more than
legend When he was crossing the
Aegean, his vessel is said TO have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ca
rian coast. which was then in their
possession. and there he was detained
for six weeks with three of his attend
ants, while the rest of his servants
were sent to the nearest Roman sta
ton to raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged
The ransom, a very large one, about
10000, was brought and paid, Caesar
was set upon the mainland. near Mi
letus, where, without moments
delay, be collected some armed vessels,
returned to the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat Of government in
the Asiatic province. where they were
convicted and crucified. Clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded TO mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on the crosses and
were spared the prolongation Of their
torture.-James Anthony FrOude.

THE BElTED PLAID.
This Was the Original Dress of the
Scottish Highlander.

The original dress of the highlander
was the belted plaid. This was piece
of tartan cloth. two yards broad and
four long, which was drawn around
the waist in nicely adjusted folds and
tightly buckled with u belt. The lower
part came down 10 the knees in much
the same manner as the modern kilt
while the upper part was drawn up
and adjusted 10 the left shoulder so
that the right arm might be perfectly
free. This upper part was the plaid.
which was used as a covering for the
shoulders and body in wet weather
and when the use of both arms was
required il was fastened across The
breast with a brooch. often curiouSly
enriched. \ brooch was also used TO
faSten the plaid on the left shoulder
To attire himself in the helted plaid
required on the part of the highlander
no small amount Of deXterity The
usual way was to lay it on the floor
and after carefully arranging the
folds TO lie down upon il AMI then
buckle il on. The lower end was faS-
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such 4 dress in the highlands Is oh
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared 10
pass Il night in the open air in the
most Indictment weather. while the
loose undergarment enabled him 10
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. 1t was thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior. the hunter and
the shepherd.-London Mail.
