The Lucky Horseshoe.

When Lord French visited the little
county town of Oldham to inspect the
Rutland volunteers, he found time to
leave a horseshoe on the castle walls.
From time immemorial the lord Of
the manor has demanded horseshoe
from every peer Of the realm on his
first setting foot within the "lordship.'
The custom is carefully kept up, and
the ever-increasing collection Of horse
shoes which hang on the walls of the
hall of the castle numbers some POO,
ranging in size from that of the Ordi-
nary racer to the Brobdingnagian pro-
portions of a shoe seven feet long

The oldest work of fiction extant
is thought to be the Tale Of Two Broth
ers," written 5000 years ago by the
Theban scribe Ennana, librarian of the
palace of King Menepthah, the sup
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, it appears, was written for the
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature of an Egypt
ian king. This piece of antique fiction,
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased
in Italy by Nine. dOrbiney, who sold
it in 1857 to the authorities Of the
British museum, where it is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.

TEMPERATURE AND TEMPER.

Here is n good old story that some
body has taken the trouble to dress up
in khaki-or hospital blue:
Sister Anne was going the round Of
the ward in the big hospital for wound
ed soldiers, examining the medical
charts over each bed and taking tenn
perntures.
Reaching the side Of one hero, in
whose mouth she had left the ther-
mometer a minute ago, she was horri-
fed TO find, Withdrawing it, that it reg
istered 100, although only an hour ago
the patient was normal. Swiftly she
summoned the house doctor, but he,
on arriving, was seriously perturbed,
as there was nothing in the patients
condition to account for the sudden
rise.
Look here" he said to the soldier,
"have you dropped this thermometer
or been fOoling with it?"
"No, sir. Only been stirring my tea
with itw

Treatment of Prisoners.

There is still talk In some quarters
of Wales of German invasion. A
sions were quite Il common thing along
the Welsh shores. The vikings came
and went pretty much as they pleased,
They burnt and massacred in Il
way that would have delighted the Ger
mans. On one occasion they burnt
ST. David's, and actually cooked and
ate the bishOp-which, no doubt, de-
lighted the antichurch people Of those
days. On the other hand, when the
Welsh caught Il Viking they tlayed him
alive and nailed his skin to the church
door. There was no suftness with
prisoners such as is exhibited today.
