high order. Nothing satisfied
him but the truth. This he sought

Paid For the Kiss.
Lord Northcote was once made curi
ous use of while governor general of
Australia, says London M. A. P. Stroll
ing one night through an avenue of
somber trees to a friend's house to
dinner, he was suddenly pounced upon
by a maidservant, who kissed him ef
fusively and pressed a little parcel into
his hand. "Here’s a sausage for you.
I can’t come out tonight, as master has
company,” she whispered and as mys
teriously disappeared. When he got
to the house he found one of his
servants loitering by the gate. “What
are you doing there?” asked Lord
Northcote. "I'm waiting for my sweet¬
heart.” the man stammered. “Where
is she?" “In service here." “Ah, then,
I am right. Here is a sausage from
your sweetheart, and she wishes me to
tell you that she cannot come out to¬
night, as her master lias company.”
Seeing that the man looked nervous, he
added kindly: “She also gave me a
kiss for you. but perhaps you would
rather wait until you see her. Here is
5 shillings instead.”
Round About Dorking.
The neighborhood of Dorking, where
George Meredith lived, has many liter¬
ary associations independent of its
connection with that famous novelist.
It was at Burford Bridge, near Dor¬
king, that Keats completed “Endym
ion” in November, 1817; close by, at
the Rookery, was born Father Mal
thus, the popular economist, and at
West Humble Frances Burney, after
her marriage with General d’Arblay.
built Camilla cottage with profits of
her novel of that name and settled
down. Sheridan resided at Polesden
i and John Stuart Mill at Micklehatn,
while other illustrious residents in the
locality in earlier times were John
Evelyn and Daniel Defoe. To most
people, however, the chief literary as¬
sociation of Dorking is with Dickens,
for was it not at the Marquis of Gran¬
by’s, variously identified with the White
Hart and the Old King’s Head, that
Mr. Weller, Sr., made the fatal blun¬
der of proposing to a “vidder?”—West¬

English Difficult to Pronounce.
The difficulty of English for stran
I gers does not lie in its orthography.
hut in its pronunciation. Abroad peo
pie will constantly say that they can
read and write English readily, while
unable to utter a word or to under¬
staud a word of the spoken language,
as. of course, vice versa, a great many
English and Americans can read and
write French long before they can un¬
derstand or make themselves under
stood. The other languages are just
as difficult for them to pronounce as
English is for others. The only dif¬
ference is that English stands alone
with its system or lack of system of
pronunciation. When a Frenchman
knows how to write German he is at
the same time able to speak the lan¬
guage, if not beautifully, at least so
as to be understood. The same holds
for a German speaking French.—Pro¬
fessor Albert Schinz in North Ameri¬
can Review’.
The Battle of the Nations.
The conflict called the “Battle of the
Nations” was the battle of Leipsic. It
was fought on Oct. 10-18, 1813, be¬
tween the soldiers of Russia, Prussia,
Austria, Sweden. Denmark and Hol¬
land. under Schwarzenberg, on the one
side, and Napoleon's army of allies, on
the other. It was one of the greatest
battles of modern times. A half mil¬
lion of men were engaged, and the
casualties on both sides were 94,000.
It resulted in overwhelming defeat for
Napoleon and the liberation of Ger¬
many. Troops from every nation of
Europe participated in if, hence the
“Battle of Nations.”

Iu Lever’s “Charles O’Malley” the

“Yes, but the wineglass hasn’t a pis¬
