Tradition is that the habeas corpus
act was put on the English statute
books as the outcome of a Joke at the
expense of a bulky lord. 1t was In the
final division in the house Of lords,
and Lord Grey and Lord Norris were
appointed tellers. Lord Norris was
not attentive to his duties, and when
a very fat lord came In Lord Grey
counted the obese person for ten, at
first as a joke; but, seeing Lord Norris
had not observed, the other noble lord
went on with the mlscount. By that
means, says Bishop Burnet. a suf1-

Tho First Comedy.

The first recorded comedy was played
at Athens B. c. 57S, when Susarion
and Dolon, the earliest travelling ac-
tors, performed q comedy Of Susafion's
composition on a movable stage mount
ed upon four wheels. The new form
Of play was so successful that the ac-
tors were rewarded by the grateful
populace with a cask of wine and a
basket Of figs. Susarion belonged to
Megaris, a state Of ancient Greece,
whose inhabitants were celebrated for
their coarse humor and who, in their
villages during the evenings, were
wont to hold what they called a comus,
really a revel, in which impromptu act
Ing, coupled with ~buffoonery, played a
considerable part. From this word we

Caro- With Mushrooms.

1t is not generally known that mush-
rooms on account of the amount of
nitrogen they contain approach nearer
to animal food than many other vege-
table products. An analysis made by
Professor Atwood shows that mush-
rooms contain 3.5 per cent proteids,
boiled potatoes 20 and onions 1.6.
Experts say that mushrooms should
be eaten perfectly fresh and never
eaten after repeating or being warm
ed over" One of the extensive mush-
room farmers in England says that
persons subject to rheumatic and
equity attacks should abstain from
mushrooms and that liquor should not
be drunk at a meal where mushrooms
are served.-New York World.

In the affidavit Mrs. Green says that
her husband had commanded her TO
