Traditions of Mother Shlpton.

Of all British prophets, Mother Shipton Is beyond doubt the most eel ebrated She was, in fact, all that a prophet and witch should be, in strange contrast to the serious and scientific nostradamus. The day she was born the sky became dark and gloomy and, according to her biograph' CT, "belcht out nothing for half an hour but but flames, laundering after a most hideous manner" Her per sonal appearance, described by her admiring biographer in 1862, is scarce ly fattering: Her physiognomy was so misshapen that it Is altogether i'm possible to express fully in words, or for the most ingenious to line her in colors, though many persons of emin' ent qualifications tn that line have often attempted it, but without sue cess. s."-Metropolitan Magazine.

DOII'I NEED WALKING STICK
Americans Do Not Often Carry 1t, but Is Matter Purely of Per
 sonaI Choice.

Now that we are reminded Of 1t, we realize that the great American people are seldom seen to possess a walking stick Its a small thing" writes an essayist in a morning paper, "the absence of the walking stick, but 1t belongs to the American motto, never, In the hustle of life, carry unnecessary cargo" The idea is, of course, fantas- tic with the fantasy of transpontine common sense. The hustle of life surely extends to travel in the case of a nation which would consider it. self degraded if it spent longer than a week in a complete journey through Europe; and when Americans travel they are the last to deny thems elves the luxury of an extra bit of luggage because 1t happens to be unnecessary. 1t is common knowledge that they go on loading the liner trunks until the company's officials say Stop" if only to collect so many more steamship and hotel labels to add to their al ready bloated store of these trophies. No. The walking stick is a matter purely of personal choice. Most Amer jeans chance to feel no need for a walking stick, whereas we do. That is how the thing stands. When it comes to walking stick the world must be considered individually. The physical weakling Is quite likely to have a taste for gigantic club; the enormously powerful man who snaps his Sandow developer before break fast as though 1t were piece of cot ton may select for a walking stick the thinnest shred of malacca that money can buy.--London Globe.

Trees of Liberty.

The last of the Trees of Liberty. several of which were planted in Paris to commemorate the revolution in 1S48, Is no more. The little tree, planted with much ceremony, four ished and became one of the tallest in Paris. Of later years the Tree of Liberty was only tree of liberty in theory, for 1t was really prisoner surrounded by houses, and these year after year have increased iA height, making the struggle of the tree the harder, and death has beet the con- queror. The roots, however, spread and became a danger to a house ot eight stories, so in its attempt to rival the house in height the tree was van ouished and has fallen to the axe of the tree feller.

 The mutton was brought On as we were nearing England. It was cut iii generous slices-and very delicious. Why she said cutting into a slice. this mutton is too thick. Cyrus cuts mutton thin as a wafer
 No one raid any attention, appar- ently, but l heard-and was disgusted. She repeated, Cyrus cuts mutton thin as a wafer, Cyrus cuts mutton thin as q wafer so many times that I could stand it no longer. Such ignorance needed to be dealt with.
