When Tea Was Dear.

Those who grumble at the price Of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of It's price In early times. At
its first Introduction into England,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
f6 and Flo pound, and though a fall
In price quickly took place the East
India company still hsd to pay over
"a for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However. even
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat, seeing that the importa-
ton of some 1000 pounds In 1878 was
enough to glut the market for some
years.-London Chronicle.

How the Rev. Mr.. Johnston, a Scot
fish minister and the author Of nu-

one of his works reviewed by Alex
ander Russell, the distinguished editor
OF the Scotsman, is told by the writer
Of Famous Editors"
A member of Mr.. Johnston's congre-
cation was an old and valued servant
In Mr.. Russeps family. When the
preacher published his new book he
asked this member to bring 1t under
the notice of her master, with the re-
quest to review 1t in the columns of
the Scotsman. Glad to be of service
to her master, the good woman lost
po time In making her wish known to
the celebrated editor and next morn
ing placed "The Gospel Roll" beside
his breakfast cup.
When at breakfast Mr.. Russell took
up the book and remarked, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, Helen, this
is an awful dry roll which you have
given me this morning"
Perhaps it is, sir" the servant
quickly replied, "but you can butter
1t weel on both sides"
Next morning an excellent review

Fearful Fate Of RavaiIIac.

In these days when executions, If

which an old time mob witnessed a
popular execution. Here IS Bloundelle

had, after shocking tortures, been torn
asunder by wild horses: "The execu
toner had begun to dismember him
and was about to cast his remains into
the second caldron when the vast
crowd prevented him from doing so.
They each required a portion of the
body Of the kings assassin, and most
of them obtained one. That night
many bonfres blazed in and around
Paris, and in their midst were CON
sumed pieces of Ravailac's frame; on
barn doors in other places were nailed
similar scraps of his body, as hawks
and owls and carrion crows were nail
ed as warning to others Of their
breed"

The famous Gordian knot was made
of leather taken from some part Of
the harness belonging to the chariot Of
Gordlus, king of Phrygia. 1t seems
that this knot was so tied that the
ends of the leather thong were not Wis
ible, hence the difficulty in loosening
it. Many must have tried to unite 1T,
