How Sheridan Paid a Debt

No one knew better the power pos
sessed by a really polished compliment
than Sheridan. and on innumerable oc-
casions during that rather stormy the
atricai management of his did he ex-
tricate himself from a difficulty by
means Of one. A good instance Is the
following: An English nobleman who
had married a beautiful actress once
applied with much dignity In the
greenroom to Mr.. Sheridan for the ar
rears Of her salary and vowed that be
would not stir till they were paid.
my dear lord" said the impecunious
manager. this is too bad. You have
taken from Us the brightest Jewel in
the world. and you now quarrel with
US for the little dust she has left be-
hind her"
The nobleman Immediately burst out
laughing. and the debt was cancelled

Dogs In Ecclesiastical Decorations.

The stained glass representation of
the "Peddler and His Dog" was remov-
ed from Lambeth church a quarter of
century ago owing to the alleged in
congruity Of introducing the figure of
a dog in a church window. Quite re-
Gently Chancellor Prescott Of Carlisle
refused a faculty for stained glass
window in a Westmorland church be-
cause the design included dog, and
perhaps the only existing examples of
dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations
are to be found in Lord Brownlow's
private chapel at Ashbridge. In this
church one stained glass window de-
picts Tobias and Sara in bed and a
dog sleeping on the quilt, while In an
other window Job is shown being
Knocked by three men, one Of whom is
holding dog by a chain.-Westmin-

Two Historic Drinks.

Sir Philip Sidney received his death
wound before the walls of Zutphen on
Sept. %, 1856. Parched with thirst,
he called for a drink. As he was
putting the bottle to his mouth his
eyes fell upon a desperately wounded
soldier who as he was being carried
past threw him longing glances,
(which Sir Philip perceiving took the
bottle from his lips before he drank
and delivered TO the poor man with
these words: Thy necessity is greater
than NINE"
At the battle of Ravenna in 1912,
when the allied Spanish and papal
forces were defeated by the renowned
CASTOR de Folk, Dumolard, one of his
captains, played a conspicuous part.
After a gallant charge, by which he
had driven back the enemy, he. deter
mined to publicly drink the health Of
his enemy's brave ally, Jacob Won
Empser, the leader of the 5000 Ger
man lasquenets. Wine was brought
upon the field, and, having sat down,
each hero filed his goblet. At that
moment, while they were in the very
act of pledging each others health, a
cannon ball from the enemy's lines
killed them both.

Diana OF PHILADELPHIA.


At the mint in Philadelphia are a
number Of coins far more precious
than any which find their way into
circulation. They are a collection of
curios. and many of them date from
times of great antiquity. Perhaps the
most interesting among them is a
handsome coin bearing Oh its face the
profile of woman which has a strik-
Ing resemblance to the goddess of
Liberty Of our own currency. Under
meath Is the single word Demos"
which Is the Greek for people. On
the reverse Of the coin is a beautiful
figure of the goddess Diana arching
her bow. and the inscription trans
lated into English reads, Diana.
Friend of the Philadelphians."
The coin was minted more than
1000 years ago at the city of PhiladeI-
phia, In Asia Minor. where there grew
up In later years one of the seven
churches Of which st. John writes.
The prize was discovered some years
ago in Europe by citizen OF our own
Philadelphia. himself an authority on
coins. By him 1t was appropriately
presented to the mint in Philadelphia.

Inn Names In Sermapv

Germany probably holds the record
for out Of the way signs ana fantastic
inn names. The most absurd results
are usually obtained by the name Of
some animal with a more or less I'M
suitable object. The Comfortable
Chicken and the Cold Frog, both of
them in Berlin, are certainly left in
the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort. in
Westphalia) and the Stiff Dog (Berlin).
The Lame Louise is an inn in suburb
of Berlin, and not far from 1t is the
Thirsty Pelican. The Dirty ParlOr. the
Bloody Bones, the Musical Cats, the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Man, and the
Boxers Den are all in Berlin or the
neighborhood. and the Old Straw Bag
in Leipzig. The Open Banghole is i'm
StadtOhen, in the Palatinate, and the

GRAVEYARD MARRIAGES.

A strange custom prevails among q
certain tribe In the Caucasus When a
single young man dies some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried to the grave a manageable
daughter in the course Of a year and
says: Your son Is sure to want a
wife. I'll give you my daughter. and
you shall deliver to me the marriage
portion In return" A friendly offer of
this description is never rejected, and
the two parties soon come to terms as
to the amount Of the dowry, which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as much
as thirty cows to secure a dead wife
for his dead son.

Tho Giants Staircase.

One of the most widely known geo
logical curiosities in the vicinity Of
Cork is a series Of knobs or knots pro-
jecting from the face of a cliff. There
are sixteen of these huge projections
all together, all regularly set in the
face of the cliff, one above the other,
forming series of such uniformity as
to give 1t the general appearance of a
stairway Since time out Of memory
this queer ascent and its projecting
steps" have been known as the Gil
