A Name Twister.
Some years ago Prince (then
Count) Munster, Schouvaloff, with Count Beust
and Count was attend¬
ing a foreign office reception in
London. Their names afforded no
slight difficulty to the thoroughly
English footman who announced
the guests by shouting their names
up the great staircase. Count
Schouvaloff arrived first, and the
footman duly announced him as
“Count Shuffleoff.’' Then came
Count Beust, whose name in the
servitor’s mouth became “Count
Beast/’ Lastly Count Munster ap¬
peared, and the footman, evidently
feeling that a supreme effort was
required, finished off by calling out
“Count Monster.”
A Dissenter.
A well known bishop was once
just starting on a railway journey
from Chester station when the sta¬
tion master came up to him and
said, referring to his luggage, “How
manv articles are there, my lord?”
“Thirty-nine,” was the reply.
“I can only find sixteen,” an¬
swered the other.
“Then,” said the bishop, “you
must he a dissenter!” — Glasgow

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN
Early Marriages.
As a corrective to exaggeration
and inaccurate statements there is
nothing like statistics. That is
probably why most people so much
dislike them. We have been persist¬
ently given to understand, for ex¬
ample, that nowadays people are
too practical, too selfish, too world¬
ly wise or what not to marry as
young as their fathers and mothers
and grandparents. But it seems
that this is entirely wrong. Things
are though, not always what they seem, and,
from our individual person¬
al observation, one might have been
disposed to completely indorse this
statement, it appears that the regis¬
ter knows better and can prove by
hard figures that cannot possibly be
contradicted that men and women
do not marry any later in life than
they did at least a generation ago.
We are glad to hear it. After all,
there’s nothing half so sweet in life
as love’s young dream. Middle aged
lovers are not romantic, and we can
ill spare anything that makes for
romance in these days.—Philadel¬
phia Ledger.

Manx Humor.
Even narrow mindedness has its
humorous side. “He’s nice enough,”
said an old farmer, a stanch church¬
man of the Isle of Man, speaking
of an acquaintance, “but he’s a
Methodist—not that he’s on the
‘plan’ at all, but he’s next door to
it.”
The degrees of comparison sug¬
gested here are delicious. The old
fellow had no intention of being
amusing, yet was not by any means
destitute of humor, as the following
advice, full ^ef worldly wisdom,
which he gave to a peddler and local
preacher, will testify.
“1 was tell in’ him,” said he, with
a twinkle in his gray eyes, “people
would be thinkin’ far more of him
and his things if he joined the
church, and maybe the bishop him¬
self would buy "omething.”—Satur¬
day Review.

MURDER OF THE CZAR.
Eyewitnnc!.’ Account of the Assassi¬
nation cf Alexander (I.
From memoirs of the la’.e Mils.
Hortense Rhea the following eve-
^ *
witness • account of the assas.-malion
of Alexander il. of .Russia is pub¬
lished in The Century:
“It was on a Sunday, about 2
o’clock. We were rehearsing a new
play. Some of us were in the green¬
room when the emperor passed, es¬
corted by f his Cossacks. We were
standing at the window*, and with a
smile he gave us the military salute
we knew* so well He had hardly
turned the corner when w r e heard an
explosion. We looked at one an¬
other, and the same thought cross¬
ed each mind—an attempt on the
emperor’s life.
We rushed out and arrived at the
corner of the street just in time to
see, 200 yards from us, the explo¬
sion of the second bomb, which
proved to be the fatal one. The
first had killed two Cossacks. While
they were arresting the assassin the
czar, deaf to the entreaties of his
coachman, who wanted to drive on
with all speed, came out of his car-
riage to say a word of sympathy to
his dying soldiers. He took their
hands, and, addressing their mur¬
derer, he said, ‘Wretch, see what
you have done in your blind fury!’
“After a last look of pity at his
faithful servants he was about to
re-enter his carriage when a man
standing at the door dropped anoth¬
er bomb, which he had kept con¬
cealed in his handkerchief, and that
not only killed the nihilist himself,
but mortally wounded the emperor,
In a moment the street, before de¬
serted, was crowded with people
corning from every direction.
Sleighs were going to and fro, and
all we heard was, ‘Thank God, the
emperor lives!' Ilis carriage being
damaged, he was placed in a sleigh
and driven to the palace, where he
expired a few hours later. His legs
had been shattered.”
The Order of the Garter.
The Order of the Garter was
founded in 1344-—some writers say
1350—by Edward III. The original
number of knights was twenty-five,
his majesty making the twenty-
sixth.
The emblem of the order is a
dark blue ribbon edged with gold,
bearing the motto “Honi soit qui
mal y *pense” in golden letters, with
a buckle and pendant of gold richly*
chased. It is worn on the left leg
below the knee. Regarding the
adoption of this emblem and motto
the story is that the Countess of
Salisbury let fall her garter when
dancing with the king and that he
picked it up and tied it around his
own leg, but that, observing the
jealous glances of the queen, he re¬
stored it to its fair owner with the
exclamation, “Honi soit qui mal y
pense!”
Ancestors of Some Familiar Plants.
Some well established and inter¬
esting facts in botanical history re¬
late to the origin of familiar plants.
The ancestor of the large and fleshy
cabbage was a veritable pygmy, a
small plant weighing altogether
scarcely half an ounce; a diminu¬
tive little vegetable, reddish in col¬
or and bitter in taste, has been met-
amorphosed into the inestimable
potato; the sweet, juicy Altringham
carrot, weighing from five to six
pounds, is in a wild condition a dry,
slender root unfit to eat; the
catc, wen flavored Vienna glass kohl
rabi, as large as a man’s fist, is
when wild a slender, woody, ! dry
stem; the cauliflower in its natural
locality is a thin branched flower¬
ing stem, with the little green, bit¬
ter flower buds.
No Purchase, No Letters.
In an Irish village the local post-
master, in addition to the postal
business, conducts a grocery and
general drapery establishment. He
is anxious to push business and sel¬
dom condescends to be gracious
with inquirers for letters who for¬
get to purchase any goods. Not
mail car arrived inquired, “Ony let-
ters fur me, Hughie ?
No notice was taken until the in¬
quiry was repeated four times, when
Hughie, without looking up from
his work, gruffly said, “No.”
“Shure ye hevn’t looked yit.”
“I sed no, and that’s enuff. Ye
shud get yer letters where ye buy
yer goods!”
