captor, and flung the captive aside, re-

proverbs and sententious sentences paint
ed on their plates. A particular set Of
these is much sought after and a COM
plete one Is very rare. The full set is six,
one Of the following sentences being in
scribed on each plate:
I. What is merry man?
2. Let him do what he can,
3. To entertain his guests,
4. With wine and merry jests;
8. But If his wife do frown,
6. All merriment goes down.
AS a proof of the scarcity and rarity
of these plates it is only meet to say that
the British Museum has only seven, and
they are made up of one dated 1874 an
other dated 1876 and five dated 1912 At

History From Toys.
From the London Globe.

from the LOnuOn IlODe.
Nuremburg has been famous for its toys
since the middle ages. From the four
teenth century the city has been noted for
it's dolls with porcelain faces. At the
time Of the renaissance the Nuremburg-
ers began constructing dolls houses such
as those which are so much admired to-
day. In 1872 the EIector Augustus OF
Saxony ordered a table service for his
three daughters. consisting. among other
articles. Of n plates, 100 glasses, SO table
spoons and % egg cups.

NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.

Constantly Shifting,
Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic pole
are two entirely different things As
matter of fact, there are few localities
on the earth's surface here the COM

because the north magnetic pole or
area lies in the vicinity of King Will

Of North America, in Bothnia When
this magnetic pole Is between US and
the north pole the compass points due
