RUBBING UP THE ARMS.

surd way-rubbing backward and for

and accelerate the passage Of the

hands with my left hand, l place the
thumb and finger of my right hand
tight round her wrist and then pass
them firmly up toward her elbow.
Having brought them back loosely

intention, "Oh, that Is what seem to

The Poster.

The poster may be said to date from
1886. when a design by Lelance was
used in France to advertise a book,
Commend Meurent les Femmes."
His example was very quickly fol
lowed, most of the early designs being
printed in black on white or tinted
paper. The color poster began about
1850 and attained to the dignity OF a
high art with Jules Cheret, "the ia
Their Of the pictured placard." The
first English theatrical placard to at
tract widespread attention was one OF
Fred Walkers advertising dramatic
version of "The Woman In White

The Hangman's Stone.

There Is a large bowlder lying in
field near Foremark, England, which
is known throughout Derbyshire as the
"hangmans stone" The exposed por-
ton of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface Of the surround
ing field and has a narrow ditch or in
dentation running across the top. The
mark, so tradition says, was made in
this way: A sheep thief in the dead
of night, while leaning against the bowl
der to rest, placed his booty above on
the fiat surface Of the stone. The man
had the sheep tied with rope, and in
its effort to escape the creature slipped
on the opposite side, and the rope.
catching under the thief's chin, choked
him to death. The indentation in the
rock was made by the friction Of the
rope while the dying man was engaged
in an effort to extricate himself.

He put his fingers beneath her dim

back, then gazed at her earnestly.
Her limpid eyes looked up at him
trustingly. The rose pink Of her
cheeks came and went fitfully. The
white of her throat throbbed with
each breath. He bent nearer to her,
still with that fixed gaze. Her lips
were parted.
He raised his head, and she looked
out Of the window silently.
There was a pause. At last she

Grand. Gloomy and Peculiar.

There was a marked contrast be-
tween Lincoln's manner, which was
always pleasant and even genial, and
that of Stanton. The latter's stern,
specialized visage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before a high
desk as the crowd passed before him
and one by one presented their re-
quests or complaints, which were rap
idly disposed of. He was naughty,
severe, domineering and often rude.
When l think of him in the daily rou-
tine Of his public audiences the char
acterization of Napoleon by Charles
Phillips, the Irish orator, comes to
mind, grand, gloomy and peculiar"

A Good Loser.

Arthur's, Almack's, Bottles and
Whites were the chief clubs Of the
young men of fashion. There was
play at all, and decayed nOblemen
and broken down senators fieeced the
unwary there. Charles Fox, dread
full gambler, lost 100000 at play.
Gibbon tells Of his playing twenty-five
hours at a sitting and losing $500 an
hour. That indomitable punster said
that the greatest pleasure in life after
winning was losing. What hours,
what nights, what health did he waste
over the devils books! l was going

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Wellington's Plea In Favor Of the
Thames Embankment Site.

Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment Of his life was
not in any of his great battles, but
that In which he had to forbid William
~ to attend a public banquet IN the
city during time of great national
excitement. OF the millions Of people
who every year see the English houses
of parliament how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
teglc considerations No one nowadays
can think of the palace of Westmin-
ster in any other position than that
which it occupies. But when the old
houses were burned down and the task
of rebuilding faced there was prOpo-
sition to establish them on or near the
site of st. James palace. Wellington
resolutely put down his foot on the
proposal.
The site suggested. It's advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other. But to the argument Of the
duke there could then be no answer.
with a vast and growing population,
such as yours in London" he said,
you must never make 1t possible that
you can be surrounded. You must
