JACK spaAT AND HIS WIFE.
The Original Couple Were an English
 churchman and His Mate. !,

You know all about Jack Sprat and his wife. You have had occasion more than once to call unkind attention to the lean husband and the fat wife. who contrived between them to de. vour all the meat OH the platter. Do you belong with the large majority of those who have given any considera Hon to the subject. who are satisfied that Mir. and Mrs. Sprat came into ex- istence in the fertile brain of old Mother Goose? If so you must rate 1t as an American production and the Sprats as typical American couple. That they could have developed as q type in the early New England days, when the life of the women folk was particularly hard. seems improbable.
 No; the Sprats did not grow In the soil of the colonies. Of this comfort ing fact there is the best evidence. Long before the pilgrim fathers land ed on Plymouth rock a great English dignitary had been male the victim of ridicule in bad rine. The verse. which began with the words. "Arch- deacon Pratt could eat no fat. his wife could eat no lean,'' was included in a collection of ancient proverbs and folk songs that was published by James Howell. the famous London lexicogra- pher. in 1659 The quatrain ends with the enlightening statement. "'Twixt Archdeacon Pratt and Joan his wife. the meat was c:t up clean" James Orchard Halliwell revived the old satire in his Nursery Rhymes of Eng land." published in 1845.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Druids.

The druids were evidently of very great antiquity, for there cannot bs much doubt that 1t was one of their customs that Vergil had in mind when he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi, 142, that the "Only means of access for living mortal to the world of spirits was the carrying of golden twig which grew in dark and thick grove" The re. semblance of the story to the druid ical rite is perfect. The druids prac. ticed their rites in dark groves. If a mistletoe was discovered growing upon an oak a priest severed it with knife, and a festival was held under the tree at which two milk white bulls were offered as a, sacrifice. This was sacrifice to the sun god. and the mistletoe. from its pale greenish vel low tint. was regarded as a kind of vegetable gold and was accordingly looked upon as being fit offering to the sun.

THE WORLDS LARGEST CITY.
{ ls . Tumbledown PIace In Mexico
 and 10 Called Namiquipa.

Namiquipa, in the state of Chihua- hua, Mexico, has the distinction of be- ing the largest city in the world. Its site covers an area of 444 square miles. or approximately 2S4, 900 acres. its ex- act boundaries having been fixed some 300 years ago by charter from the then king of Spain, who gave the land to some colonists from Castile.
 The greater part of the city site, how ever, is unbuilt upon, and, as regards the built over portion, many of the houses, originally constructed of sun dried brick, are in ruins.
 Next to Namiquipa the biggest city of either ancient or modern times was undoubtedly Babylon. Recent exca vations have uncovered the old walls and they are found tO have measured fifteen miles each way. inclosing the city in the form of perfect square, An easy arithmetical calculation shows us that the area of Babylon inside the walls, therefore. was 225 square miles or 144,00O acres.
 Compared with such figures as these Birmingham with S,42O acres. Norwich with 7,472 acres and Glasgow with 6,1l1 acres are almost in the nature of small villages. Yet these are the three biggest British cities-that is to say. they contain within their civic bounda- ries the biggest area of ground.
 The cty of London proper contains no more than about GAO acres. approxi- mately one square mile.-London Tele- graph.
