This nneedete proves the profitable character of good manners and was told to me by a descendant of the gen tlernan who owned them; Mr. M. - was a rebel in 1745. He was taken and was being brought to th tower with Kilmarnock and Balmeri no. A block stopped the sad cortege, and a lady, looking from a window, cried, “You tall rebel” (Mr. M. was 0 feet 4 inches), “you will soon he short er by a head!” “Does that give you pleasure, mad am?” said Mr. M. “Yes, it does.” “Then, madam,” said Mr. M., taking off his hat and making a low bow, do not die in vain.” Lady was moved. She made in terest for Mr. M. There exists a paper in the hand of George II. to this effect ‘Let Lady —— [the name is obliterat ed] have access to her tall rebel and he hanged to her.” The royal clemency was extend'.-1 to Mr. M. I saw his pardon, beautifully engrossed within a decorative herder and framed, on the wall of his descend ant’s study. It is fair to add that prac tically the whole county of Ross and also the Earl of Sutherland petitioned for the life of the courteous Mr. M.— Andrew Lang In Longman’s.

If you climb a mountain, your height decreases by three-quarters of an inch, and it may even diminish, exceptional ly, by a full inch. This is a fact known to all experi enced mountain and Alpine climbers. On reaching the summit of the heights that form the pleasure ascents of lioli day makers in the Alpine districts the stature of the climber is found to have become less to the extent already men tioned. Doctors think that the attitude as sumed of necessity in ascending is the cause of this diminution. Some per sons believe that the pressure of the at mosphere produces this shrinking. In favor of the medical theory there is the other unquestionable fact that the de crease of stature is greater in those who carry a heavy pack during the climb. When the Alpinist has descended to the ordinary level, his height begins to increase, but the normal length of the body is not attained until several hours after reaching the regular surface of the earth.

Apropos of the British royal titles a reference to colonial possessions ap peared in an English sovereign’s des ignation so long ago as the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser dedicated his “Faerie Queen” to Eliza beth. and then he. described her as “queen of England, France and Ireland and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir ginia.” It may also be remembered that the Virginians refused to acknowl edge Oliver Cromwell’s protectorate un til he sent r. fleet to compel them to do so. Charles II., In return expression of the colonists’ loyalty, had himself proclaimed in Virginia on his restora tion as “king of Great Britain, Ireland and Virginia." The further statement has been made that Charles caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scot land. Certain it is that they appear so on English coins struck as late as 1773 by order of George III.—Liverpool Post. Georgia S ate Fair,Savannah,Ga..

A Tarantula's Jump. “There are strange sights in Porte Rico,” said a returned traveler. “Ta rantulas are one of them,” he contin ued, “and yon should see a tarantula jump! One of them went through a marvelous performance, with myself and a dog for spectators. The dog’s barking awoke me early one morning, and 1 slipped into my shoes and ran out. Spot—that’s the dog’s name—was making frantic plunges at an enormous tarantula, as big as my palm and its legs covering as much ground as a soup plate. Its wicked black eyes made me creep. “All of a sudden the thing shrank up like a sponge and jumped for the do I give you my word, it jumped fifteen feet if it was an inch. Twice the do ran under the spider’s jump—fact. Oth ers were watching by this time, and they all saw it. Usually, though, he just side stepped a bit. “I broke up little pieces of a branch of a tree and hurled them at the taran tula. My aim was just good enough to stir him up. At first he kept junipin away from us, but Spot always herdt- him back again. Then he jumped straight for us. At last a lucky shot keeled him over, and a few strokes with a convenient club finished him.”— New York Times. The Tall Story That ta Told ot a Pa risian Gourmet. Paris is par excellence the city of gourmets and cranks, and many a story concerning them has added to the gayety of the nations. Here is one of the latest, told by a well known .French head waiter: One of the regu lar customers of a famous Parisian restaurant used to he a short, thin, shy and shabbily dressed man whose name no one knew, but who gave out that he was a butter t’raiei-, jor which reason he was called the butter man at the restaurant in question. He ate next to nothing, but his soup tureen, filled with a soup specially pre pared for him, was always put before him. He took a few spoonfuls and had it taken away. Next came a whole fiiiet cf beef, from which he cut the tiniest slice. Then followed four quails or a large chicken, of which he ate one mouthful; together with two lettuce leaves and one radish. Ilis dessert was four grapes—never a sin gle one more—and a cup of coffee. A bottle of the best claret and another of the best champagne were served with the repast, but lie only wetted his lips with a drop from them and let them go. He took two cf these meals a day, and the price for each meal was 129 francs. But this was not ail. Every time the butter man got up from his ex traordinary meal he gave 40 francs to the head waiter, who put his food on his plate, since the guest did not like to handle spoons or dishes; 29 francs to the waiter, 10 francs to the woman cashier and 5 francs to the porter. Thus each meal came to 200 francs. The head waiter cf the restaurant of ten did slight errands for him, buying his cigars, etc., and took them to tlie Grand hotel, where the butter man lived. The little old man would then open the drawer of a wardrobe filled with heaps of bank notes of from 100 francs to GOO francs in value and with an enormous mass of goldpieces. “Pay yourself,” said the owner, and the head waiter did so, putting the bills before his patron, who never deigned to look at them. One day the mysterious millionaire went away and was never seen again. —Westminster Gazette.

The Subjection of Maa. “No, I never have a bit of trouble with my husband,” remarked the fra little woman with the intelligent face “In fact, I have him right under my thumb.” “You don’t look very strong,” doubt fully commented the engaged girl. “You mistake me, my dear. “It’s mental, not a physical, subjection.” “Would you mind telling me how”— “Not a bit. Always glad to help an one steer clear of the rocks. First o all, you must know that a man in iov is the biggest sort of a fool and say things that make him almost wild when he hears them in after life. I realized it, and from the very beginning of our courtship I kept a phonograph in the room, and every speech he made wa duly recorded. Now, whenever my bus band gets a little bit obstreperous I just turn out a record or so. Heavens, how he does rave! But he can’t deny it They always will, though, if you don’ have proof positive.” 'Thank you,” gratefully murmured the engaged girl. “I’ll get a phono graph this very day.” Ela Prize. An amusing story, which may per haps he entirely true, is told cf a short sighted but energetic member of the Russian secret police. He was walking through a little fre quented street of St. Petersburg one night when he spied high up on a lamp pest a placard. Aha!” he said to himself, scenting mischief on the instant and alert for action. “That’s one of those incendiary notices about his majesty the czar! It must come down at once!” With some difficulty, being of a stout build, he succeeded in climbing the post and dislodging the placard. He bore it to the ground, and there, peering at it by the light of the lamp, he read two Russian words, the English equivalent for which is the well known legend Wet Paint.”—Y’outh’s Companion. A Wife*! Allowance. It Is one of the most humiliating ele ments in woman’s life in America to day £vnd. one of the phases which is most uncomplimentarily reflective upon American husbnnds that a just allow ance is withheld from many wives. No matter bow small the allowance may be, so long as it is fair in propor tion to the income earned, every wife should have a purse of her own, sacred to herself and her needs and free from the slightest intrusion on the part of her husband. Every wife is entitled to this, and no young man—I care not how small his income nor what his reasoning may be—starts married life aright who withholds that courtesy and that right from his wife.—Edward Bok in Ladies’ Home Journal. The TIre«l Farmer. “Yes, sir, you simply start our auto mobile plow and leave it to Itself while you sit on the fence here in the shade and enjoy your weekly paper and a jug of hard cider. The plow will go right ahead and break up your field better than you could possibly do it, and when it has finished all you have to do is to press the button here and stop it.” “Waal, say, couldn’t you fix it so’s it would kind o’ steer lip here close to the fence, so’s I could press the button without gittin’ down?”— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Never put soda in the water in which you wash china that has auy gilding on it. Soda injures the gilding. In stead use soap, which answers just as well and has no ill effects. In washing cut glass only moder ately hot water should he used on ac count of the glass being of varying thickness, which causes the dishes to expand unevenly if subjected to ex cessive changes of temperature.

The writer of this rode bronchos and “punched” cattle on the ranges of Mon tana and Wyoming twenty years ago and had ample opportunity to study the habits of rattlesnakes. He knows how they went into their holes then, and it is doubtful if any improvement has since been made in their method. They start in head first, and one would promptly come to the conclusion that they reach the bottom of their boies in this manner, but Mr. Snake is too wily to keep his head where he cannot have an eye on the rest of his body; there fore as soon as he enters the hole a few inches he makes a half turn which brings his head to the entrance again and then permits the remainder of his length to glide down out of sight—a very simple performance, you will see. —Exchange.

A Barnard college girl tells in the New York Times of visiting in a house hold where grace was said at the table semioecasionally. Her curiosity got the better of her. and she asked the mistress of the house why they didn’t observe the rite regularly. “Why.” said the lady with some surprise, “we say grace only when we have reason to he thankful. We never dream of giving thanks when we have only roast beef or beefsteak or some simple thing like that: but whenever we have game or something really nice then we say grace, for it’s worth while.” gk co., AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
