Laws Against Profanity.

Did you know that according to the
law of England swearing is an offense
for which you may be convicted by a
justice Of the peace according to a
scale Of penalties? And the higher up
you are in the social scale the higher
the fine imposed. A day laborer, com
mon soldier or seaman forfeits one shil-
ling for every oath; every other person
under the degree of gentleman two
shillings and above the degree Of gen.
tleman five shillings. For a second
offense it is double the sum, for
third, triple, etc. At any time con-
stable may arrest a profane swearer
and take him before a justice. On
one occasion man lost his temper
entirely and swore the same oath
twenty times before a justice. The lat
ter counted them and when the man
had finally stopped, fined him two
shillings for each repetition. There
Is a similar law in Scotland.

PHRASE IN USE BY ROMANS
Writers of Ancient Empire First Re
ferred to the Game OF "Ducks
and brakes"

Ducks and drakeS," an expression
used commonly in connection with
person who Is needless in money or
business matters, has gained wide cir
culation since it was first used among
the Romans.
MinuciuS Felix and other ancient
writer's allude to a game of scaling
oyster shells or stones on the water.
If the stone emerged once it was said
to be a "duck."
England adopted the game and gave
the phrase it's present-day meaning.
Just when it was first applied is not
known. But it is well used In Henry
Peachaln's book, "The Worth of a
Penny" published in London in 1647:
Il remember in Queen Elizabeth's
time wealthy citizen of London left
his son mighty estate In money, who,
imagining he should never be able to
spend it, would usually make ducks
and brakes in the Thames river, with
shilling pieces as boys are won't to
do with titles and oyster shells. And
In the end he grew to such extreme
want that he was fain to beg or bor

Flowers and Seasons.

The relation of the colors of flowers
to the seasons has attracted the at
tention of Canadian professor, who
finds that Of $50 Towering plants In the
provinces of Quebec and Ontario,
about one-third have white flowers.
Yellow flowers come next, and COM
prise about one-quarter of the total.
Puppies and blues form about one
ninth or tenth. White flowers are COM
monest In April and June, whereas
yellow are frequent in July, August
and September. One can not help
noticing that the spring flowers have
delicate colors as rule, whites or
pale pinks. yellows and blues, whereas
the autumn flowers have much stronger
shades of yellow. blue and purple.

It was after the untimely death Of
her husband at the age Of d. that
Queen Victoria became the victim of
a settled melancholy. For 20 years
after that event she continued to wear

In the social life of her subjects, and
made slave of herself in her cor

1t was not until Disraeli became
premier that the queen emerged from
the shadow of bereavement. He fas-
cinated her by his rhetoric and poetic
style of address. Gladstone, she said.
used to speak to her as If she was
a public meeting, but Disraeli re-
membered that she was a lonely
woman with hungry heart. He fed
this hunger in letters that were almost
affectionate In tone. He called her
Gl0riana and Titania. queen of the
fairies, and In a thousand SMILES
ministered to her self-esteem. He
waved the magic wand Of flattery and
