clever at impersonation, said Mrs. Jack,
"that some years ago he wrote letter of in

on there presented it himself in disguise and
spent whole week with them without their

Farringate spent most of his time reading

that there was not much conversation on

MoNARcH's ONE GOOD WORK
Founding Of Greenwich, Still the
Worlds Greatest Observatory,
Stands to Credit Of Charles u,

The first English observatory, and
still the greatest, is that at Green
witch. which was founded 238 years
ago by Charles II. It was erected
on the summit of Flamsteed hill, so
called in honor of the first astrono-
merroyal, John Flamsteed. The lcngL
tude of all English charts and maps
is reckoned from this observatory,
and the captains Of ships take their
time as given at one p. m. Longitude
Is also reckoned from the meridians
Of Paris. Washington, ETC., but the
reckoning from the meridian Of Green.
witch is most general. The first real
observatory in the world was erected
at Alexandria by Ptolemy Softer about
300 B. c. The first observatory in
Europe was founded at Nuremburg in
1472' by Bernard Walther. Tycho
Brahe's celebrated observatory was
built in 1876 The French Royal OBJ
servatory at Paris was established in
1867, eight years before the erection
of the English Royal observatory at
Greenwich. Kent. The first American
observatory was established at viii.
liams college in 1886, and that at
Harvard four years later.-Milwaukee

LIARS HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM
Queer, Perhaps, but Explanation 10
That It Was Before the Days Of
Published Novels,

In the days Of Queen Elizabeth Of
England few kinds of entertainment
were more popular than the game of
"brag," in which the victory went to
the competitor who was adjudged by
the audience to have emulated most
successfully the example Of Ananias
OF dubious memory. It may, per.
haps, be surmised not unreasonably
that the popularity Of this form of
amusement was due to the fact that
the art Of novel-writing was unknown
In those days. Writing in 1880, an old
author says, Lying with us Is 90

tymes gamings and prizes therefor,
purposely to encourage one to outlye
another" The custom persisted until
more recent times, and as late as the
eighteenth century liars clubs were

Of the best-known Of these clubs met
for many years at an old hosiery,
now vanished, known as the Bell
Tavern, Westminster, and the most
important Of the rules Of this contra.
ternity of liars ran as follows:
