Court Fools.

Court testers were either misshapen
half imbecile midgets. whose senseless
remarks were welcomed with laughter
quick witted, half mad fellows or poor,
merry poets who devoted themselves
to the task for the income which 1t
brought.
It was their business in medieval
times to entertain kings and mobiles
with amusing sallies
One of the early French testers was
Mathurine, woman
English testers made use OF calfskln
coats, which buttoned down the back
and protected them from the anger or
those who were provoked at their sa-
tirical thrusts.
A fools cap was adorned with three
asses ears and a cocks comb and
worn on shorn head. He had wide
collar. carried a scepter. and his cos
tune and cap were decorated with
bells.

Wonders of a Book.

There is perhaps no greater wonder
than a book. BY the help of little
figures upon spins or paper men have
been able to transmit their thoughts
through thousands of years The
names and shapes of things, the deeds
and sorrows that have occurred as far
back as Adam. have been made known
to u.s. Even those invisible and alb
stract thoughts which have no shape
or substance. but which inspired the
writer and have since inspired others.
are all put down in the little letters
and made eternal. The songs of David,
the speculations of Plato, the visions
Of Homer. have by these means been
handed down faithfully for many cen
turtles and distributed among man,

knowledge would almost be confined
to the limit of sight and hearing. All
that we could not see or hear would
