Lord MAYORS Banquet.

What q lord mayors banquet was
like up to the seventeenth century
may be guessed from Dekker's de-
scription of one In '"aThe Shoemaker's
Holiday" where the chief guest was
Henry v. After being told that a
hundred tables were filled and to be
reflled with beef, pork, mutton, minced
pies and marchpane, one reads that
''venison pasties walk up and down
piping hot, like sergeants; beef and
brewess comes marching in dry-vats
fritters and pancakes comes trowling
In the wheelbarrows; hens and sau-
sages hopping in porters' baskets, col
lops and eggs in scuttles, and tarts
and custards comes quavering in in
malt-shovels."

Auskina indian Corn.

The husking of Indian corn ls q
man-power proposition. Husking and
cribbing of this great staple cereal
must be done by hand. Machinery has
never satisfactorily grappled with the
task. Formerly farmer, single-hand'
ed, would husk 30 bushels of corn In
q day, but greater skill has raised the
possible output per person to between
80 and 100 bushels. That men and
boys, women and girls, may become
more proficient in the work, husking
schools have now been established
throughout the corn belt. These
schools are for business, and must not
be COMPOUNDED with husking bees
which are mostly for fun.-Christian
Science Monitor.

Greatest Thing in the World.

Love has been called the greatest
thing in the world, but the greatest
thing in the world is not thing at
all; the greatest thing is person,
Personality is the greatest thing In
the world. The greatest thing in per-
sonality is not strength of body nor
strength of mind. 1t is strength of
heart. Clever people are as common
as blackberries, the rare things to
find a good one" It is not Daniel
Webster's brain, but Lincoln's heart,
that wins a nations love.-Exchange.

Gained Fame While Dying.

Antoine Vatican, one Of Frances
foremost artists, painted his celebrated
decorative panels while dying of the
white mans scourge. He sprang from
humble and poverty-stricken surround
ings, and was forced to work on the
brink of starvation for the greater
part of his thirty-seven years. Just
as his fame rose to national proper
lions his tubercular condition became
worse and he worked desperately dur
ing his last few years to complete rs
much work as possible before he died.

Lvino Down to Smoke.

The Patagonians lie down while
smoking, swallowing and retaining
some of the smoke, while the Eskimos
mix wood with the tobacco to make it
last longer. A reason for this is that
they must depend upon whalers for
their supply Of tobacco. In Abyssinia
smoking is considered heinous crime,
entailing crucial penalties. g..

To avoid straining the eyes a per-
