Guess again?” “Did the vines grow so fast that they dragged tbe melons, and did you have to smooth tbe ground, so that tbe riod wouldn't be worn off and tbe fruit destroyed?” » “Ob, somebody has been tailing you one of those big Western fairy yarns. You ought to have sense enough to know that the melons couldn’tb e dragged by the vines . But I did have to boje a hole io every watermelon I wanted to eave.” ‘•No. What was that for?” “Because the beat v/as to awful it generated steam in the melons and we bad to give it vent or they’d explode. And when the ho/rs were bored the durned things blew off just like steam whistles.

Some of the Royalists vbo were forced to endure tbe English common wealth seemed to console themselves for the dullness of life under a Puritan government by fighting as many duels as they could compass, so that ignoble squabbles and foolish plots make up the history of their days- Tom Porter was of a family which ,ad zealously served the king. Under the new government his occupation was gone, and he descended to a triviality of life which finally involved him in a most pathetic event. This was a duel which he fought with his friend, Sir Henry Bellas!*, and which, says Pepys in his "Diary,” is worth remembering for "the silliness of the quarrel * * * a kind of emblem of tbe general complex ion of the whole kingdom. ” . But silly as the quarrel undoubtedly was it carried in it an element of heart break. The two young men involved were intimate friends and companions, but one day, "being merry in company,” Tom Porter said he should like to see the man in England who would dare give him a blow. With that Sir Henry Bellasis struck him a box on the ear. The inevitable duel followed, wherein each was wounded. Sir Henry proved to be seriously hurt, so he called Porter, kissed him and bade him fly. "For,” said he, “Tom, thou hast hurt me. But I will make shift to stand upon my legs till thou mayst withdraw, for I would not have thee troubled for what thou hast done.” Porter profited by his friend’* gener osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry died a few days later, and Pepys con cludes, "It is pretty to see how the world do talk of them as a couple of fools that killed one another out of love.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind Yea Have Always Bought Bears the //** Signature of SHOPPING IN ITALY. Outlandish Method* That Make It a Moat Tiresome Task. A source of trial is what appears to ns the outlandish method of having things that apparently belong together sold in different establishments. Silks are found in one shop, woolens in an other and ribbons in a third. At none of these can one buy needles and thread. If a woman wishes to hang a pair of curtains, she purchases the materials at one shop, the rod and rings at a differ ent place, the iron fixtures at a third and has to go to a fourth to find an up holsterer to put them up. She must visit a tobacco shop for salt and cannot find, as with ns, vegetables, fruit or bread at a grocer’s. It may thus readily be seen that one must travel a good deal to do her marketing or shopping. Add to all this the confusion incident to the fact that the standards of measure and weight are different from ours, a meter exceeding a yard and a pound containing but 12 ounces, and a faint idea may be formed of the mental com ' plications of the traveler. There is also a certain amount of beating down to be done in nearly every shop, and even after half an hour’s bar gaining the purchaser cherishes awful donbts lest she might not have bought the thing cheaper. Shopping Is really almost equal to the contemplation of faded frescoes for lowering the mental tone, and it is hard to say.which has the more to answer for in the exhausted state in which most travelers leave Italy.—Harper’s Bazar.
