Turn About.

In a certain southern city the COL
ored servants, as rule, go to their
own homes at night The cook in the
family of clergyman not only does
this, but of late has arrived at the
rectory too late to cook breakfast.
Hence her mistress lately told her that
for each breakfast missed there would
be a reduction in her weekly wages.
Dinah passively assented to this, but
next day the mistress heard the maid
next door say to her:
"'Pears to me you get to work
mighty late"
II gets to work when l gets ready"
was the reply.
"How does you manage about de
brekfus?"
"Oh, l pays de m1ssus to cook de
brekfus.' "-Housekeeper.

Ancient Spectacle Makers.

- = af s. J.
The ancient. Guild Of Spectacle Max
ers is numerically one Of the strongest
London companies. Its charter dates
from the year ] 629sand though the ex-
act date of its origin is lost. there is
ample evidence that the calling Of
spectacle maker was extensively fol-
lowed at very early date. An old
book Of 1868 mentions the. spectacle
makers among. other traders. and the
biography Of Carlo Zeno, an illustrious
Venetian, who died in 1913, mentions
that even at the age of eighty -four he
needed no artificial aids to his sight
So presumably spectacles were COM
mon in Italy five centuries ago:-Lon-

A Stitch Of Pain.

A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain
in the muscles Of the side like the
piercing of needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise is taken i'm
mediately after hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an
other direction-namely, in assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
Of nervous energy required for exer-
else, whether it be debility or the proc.
ess Of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion, is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain.
