Shocked Ilia Halloo.
A somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, “harikirr “happy dis
patch,” once common im Japan, is told
by the French Admiral Gounlon.
When he was a young man he lmd a
comrade who* having assisted in the
organizing of the Japanese navy, was
subsequently raised to the rant of ad
miral in that force. Ho took the part
of the tycoon against the mikado in
the revolutionary war and. having
boon captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to death, which In
those days Implied “knrikirl.” When,
however, the-fatal sword was- present-
ad to him he flatly refused to km him
self nnd declared that if he wus to die
somebody els© must kill him. Threats
and entreaties alike'proved unavailing.
Ho resolutely, refused. The whole of
Japan was scandalized 1 at such immor
al behavior, which, however, saved his
life. The Japauese penal code had
sever contemplated such a contingency
us a man inhuman enough to refuse
the “harikiri,” and in the end he was
banished from the country and re
turned to France.—St. .Tames Gazette.

. Yonr Shadow.
"May your shadow never grow less*
or “be less.” That is a familiar salu
ttttlou. The origin is dim, but may be
as follows: When persons have made
certain progress in the black arts they
are compelled to run through n sub
terra noun hall, with the evil one after
them. If they run so fast that his
Satanic majesty can catch only their
shadow or part of it they become first
rate magicians, but lose cither nil or
part of their shadow. The expression
means: May you escape wholly and
entirely front the clutches of the foul
fiend.
It is well known that after a man
reaches the age of about fifty-five his
stature grows shorter: therefore his
shadow must be less. To say, “May.
your shadow never grow less." means,
“May you tiever grow older.”—New
York Press.

The K«Me of Londom.
The old name 'for the city of Londou
was Lyndon or Llynden, meaning “the
city by the lake.” An old tradition
gives ns to understand that London
was founded by Brute, n descendant
of /Eneas, and that it was first called
New Troy or Troynovunt. In the time
of Lud It was surrounded by a wall
was then known ns Lad’s Town,,
or Cwr-Lud. Tills latter Is probably
the correct version of the origin of the
name of London If for no other rea
son because it Is such an easy matter
to detect a similarity between the ex
pressions Londou and Lud’s Town. It
is claimed by some writers that there
was a city on the present site of Lon
don In Bio year 1107 It. C., and it Is
known that the Homans founded a city
there nnd called It Londinium In the
year 01 A. I).
Queen IIcnm* 'Wardrobe.
Iloyni annals have never recorded a
more varied aud extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the “vir
gin queen.” Even nt the age of sixty-
eight. when she might be supposed to
have outlived her youthful vanity, sho
possessed 00 complete official cos
tumes, 102 French gowns, 100 robes
with trains nnd 07 without, 120 an
tique dresses, 130 bodices, 125 tunics,
not to mention such trifles ns.00 man
tles, 85 dressing gowns and 27 fans.
It Ib possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
of shoes, which, considering her ex-
truvogances in other articles of ap
parel, must have some meaning. At
her death 3,000 articles wero found
duly catalogued In her wardrobe which
bad adorned her proud person.

caught in short logs holloWed that
held about a gallon. Many pound*
of sugar were made and a liquor cask
full of sirup.
