Biotted Out "L.ord Penn"

The first book of any kind publish
ed in Philadelphia was Atkins AL
manack for the year 1856. 1t was an
unpaged pamphlet of ten leaves, only
two copies of which are now known
to be In existence. The first copy of
the Almanack printed was sent to
Colonel Markham, PENIS deputy, who
reported to the council that the book
had enormously declared Pennsylva
MIA to have been founded by Lord
Penn" The council disapproved such
high sounding title and directed the
author and printer (William Brad
ford) to forthwith and effectually
blot out We words Lord Penn"
This had the effect of recalling the
whole edition and the abolition of the
obnoxious words.

Circular Boats.

Still used to a considerable extent,
circular boats in the Tigris may be
seen at Bagdad, just as they appear
ed 1000 years ago, when Herodotus
wrote: ''The boats which come down
the river to Babylon are circular and
made Of skins. The frames, which are
Of willow. are cut in the country of
the Armenians above Assyria, and on
these, which serve for hulls, a covering
of skins is stretched outside, and thus
the boats are made, without either
stem or stern, quite round, like a
shield. They are then entirely filed
with straw, and their cargo is put on
board, after which they are suffered
10 float down the stream. Their chief
freight is wine, stored in casks made
Of the wood Of the palm tree. They
are managed by two men, who stand
upright in them, each plying an oar,
one pulling and the other pushing.
The boats are of various sizes, some
larger, some smaller. The biggest
reach as high as 5000 talents burthen.
Each vessel has a live ass on board.
Those Of larger size have more than
one"

When the armies of Napoleon were
oyerrunning Europe. General AIassena,
with $4,000 men, suddenly appeared
before the Austrian town Of Field

stead OF complying, the burgomaster
issued orders that the church bells
were to be set ringing and that the
burghers, their wives and daughters,
clad in holiday attire, were to assem-
BILE i'll the market square and there
make merry.
The result was exactly what he had
hoped for. Massena heard the sounds
of rejoicing, watched from the heights
overlooking the town the gathering
throngs in the streets and came to the
conclusion that the townsfolk must
have received intelligence that the
Austrian army, which was believed to
be somewhere In the vicinity, was adj
vancing to their relief.
AS to give battle there and then
formed no part Of Napoleon's general
plan fof action, Massena ordered a re-
treat. Feldkirch was saved, and by a
bluff, for as a matter Of fact no reliev-
ing force was anywhere near at the
time.

the wholesale market of the apple ped
dlers. Here there is an animated scene
men wildly shouting and gesticulat-

apple barrels. It is almost impossible
to pass along even in the street for the
dozens of peddlers' carts lined up there
Suddenly there is a commotion, and a
crowd gathers at the curb. A barrel
of apples is on sale, bids rise ats pen
ny bid, and finally the highest bidder
carries off his prize. Everywhere are
barrels overlooking with cheerful, red
and yellow apples which the peddlers
will carry off to peddle in other parts
of the city. The wholesale apple deal
ers rent easements along this street in
which to store their wares. In the
morning they bring out and strew the
barrels all over the narrow, dingy
stretch of Ludlow street.

Divorces Are Costly In Canada.

Canada's divorce court is never en-
tered except by members of the
wealthy class and not frequently by
them. Only four to six divorces are
granted in Canada annually.
There is no record of poor man
ever getting a divorce in the Dominion,
it is said. The average cost of a di-
vorce in Canada is $4,000, and the de-
cree is granted for only one offense-
marital infdelity.
The legislature at Ottawa appoints
a divorce committee each session, and
all cases are settled by this committee.
There is no appeal in, a divorce action.
Those living in the western part Of
the Dominion have to pay much more
for a decree than those living in the
east because Of the heavier travelling
expenses.-Detroit Tribune.
