In Milton and Homespun" IS rn1s amusing English fox hunting story:
 ''Hoad hard, madam! For heavens sake hold hard or that camel you are riding will be the death of some of my houndsP' cr4ed the eholer1c master Of one of the southeastern counties packs of foxhounds to lady who was riding rather too close to hounds.
 without deiGuing to turn her head she steered her mount a little to the laft and clear of the hounds rode her own line nke a eentaur, led the van through a long and very fast run and was the first Of the field to see the fox rolled over in the open.
 Having recovered from hds tempo rary it of cIrur3lsh1ess and delighted with the manner in which the lady had ridden, the master approached her, somewhat sheepdshIy it must be con fessed. with the 'sbrush" and an apol- ogy.
 sPray, don't apologize, sir" was the smiling reply. 'TYou simply m1stook my favorite hunter for camel. and 1 your foxhounds for fox terriers 1t seems we were both mistaken Thanks aWfully for the brush"

Harriet Beecher Stowe records that in her girlhood she and her friends used to dance jig entitled ''Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself This dance must have enjoyed long spell of pop ularity. The first Duke of Bucking- ham and Chandos was indignant when, deigning to attend an assembly ball at Airesford, his request for dance, addressed to a local rector's wife, met with the reply, "Go to the Devil and Shake Yourselfl' He complained to khe rector. and it then transpired that the lady, who was somewhat deaf, thought his grace had asked her what dance was then being played. This incident occurred in 1795, and twenty years later Crabbe, in bis Tales" animadverts on a bookseller for stock Ing the music of dance with such a nrofane titIe.-ManchesteR Courier.

The stranger read the advertisements at tentive1y.
 And why,' asked he, turning to a viIlager who stood by, "why is this lin den used as a bilIboard2'

Hands That Make Beauty.

- The father of Saint Gaudens, the sculptor, was a bootmaker and put the same enthusiasm into making good boot that his son put into model Ing statues. Millions are spent on paintings and sculptures, but just as many millions are spent on other pro-. ductiens of the human hand and brain. They may not be classed as works of art, yet are they the beautiful handi- craft of men and women. The prod ucts of the cabinet makers of the eighteenth century. the weaving of the Hindu men and women since the days of the Arabian Nights, the laces and tapestries worked by peasant girls, nuns or queens, the creations of the potter, the brassmonger. the fronmon- ger, the silversnith, the goldsmith, the printer and the bookbinder were wrought by joyful workers, and mil lionaires compete with kines to pos sess them.-Boston Globe.
