MAUNDY THURSDAY. Hnnlnt Castnin That Went With This D«r In Olil knslnii'l. Maundy Thursday used to be also called Sbere Thursday, “for that," says an old homily, "in old fathers' days the people w mill that day shere their hedex and elypp tlieyr hordes and pool their heedes and so make them honest against Ku .ter day." The derivation of the word "Maundy" is less simple. Some derive it from the Latin “man- datum," a command, referring to the sacred command given on that day to wash the feet of the p mr, which was done annually hy our kings and queens until the practice came to an eml with James II., or it may come from the old French “tmiumller,” to heg, as this has always been tin* poor people’s Thurs day. Most probable of all is the do rlvatlon of tin* word from the tnautuls, or baskets. Anglo-Saxon "maud," in which things were given to tin* poor on Maundy Thursday. On Maundy Thursday, says an old writer, "die kynges and queues of Eng land waslie the feetc of so many poorc menne and women as they be yeres olile, and gev* to every one of them so many pence, with a gow tie and another ordinary alines of nieate mid kys.se tlieyr feetc, and afterward gave tlieyr gnwiic* oil tlieyr Imeks to them that they se m »sl needy of al the nomber." Some Idea of Ihe contents of the maiinds nr baskets may lie gathered from ii ii account of 1731, when forty- elgld poor men and women, that being tin* king's age. received "one large old ling and one large dried eml, twelve red herrings and four half quartern loaves, after which was distributed to them shoes, stockings. Illicit and woolen cloth mid four penny pieces of silver and shillings, to each about lit In value." Maundy money, as specially issued, Hint consisting of groats, threepences, half groats and pennies in silver, was llrst coined hy Charles II. ami has formed part of the sovereign’s Maundy hIiiis ever since. As most people prob ably know, by tin* coinage act of 1870 Maundy money is legal tender, though usually regarded only as treasure for collectors. The sliver penny, which has now lost Its significance, made its first appearance under offa In 7tl<>, and, roughly speaking, remained the chief denomination for don years, though it now appears only once a year. The Maundy penny should remind us that In Its original and silver form the pen ny weighs exactly twenty-four grains and gave its name for this reason to the pennyweight. -London Chronicle.

One old fashioned divine of my early youth preached every Sunday upon "The Broken Covenant." At length the long suffering parishioners could stand it no longer, and a deputation wits or ganized to visit the manse. The depu tation Informed the minister that they were extremely weary of hearing con tinually of "the broken covenant" and that there was a general desire to have at least one new sermon. "Yon shall have It,” said the worthy minister In conciliatory strain; "you sliail have ti perfectly new sermon next Sunday.” Accordingly the church was fuller than usual, and a thrill of satisfaction rnu round when the text wits announced In these words: "And the cup was found In Benjamin's sack." "Let me tell you, illy friends.” said the preach er, "the day Is coming when all your sacks will lie rypit. And what, think you, will be found In them? Yes, what will In* found lu them? Again 1 ask you, what will be found In them? The llrst thing found In them will be ‘the broken covenant,’ on which I will now proceed to speak at great length."

Obviously the smaller meteors are utterly consumed before they have penetrated far Into the at mosphere, which their fate lias shown to rise to a height of about 120 miles. Only a very large one can descend to within twenty miles of the earth be fore being burst by the expansion due to beat and by the resistance of the sir. The fact that fragments do occa sionally reach the earth is the ln*st proof of the great size of some of the meteors that we encounter.

Ifalpli Waldo Ktuerson was once greatly amused with the following an ecdote: A lady, deeply veiled and dress ed In mourning, was riding in a stage coach in Yermont, opposite to whom sat n small, sharp featured, black eyed woman, who began catechising Iter thus: "Have you lost friends?” "Yes, I have.” “Was they near friends?" "Yes, they was." "How near?” "A husband and a brother.” "Where did they die?" "Down to Mobile." "What dkl they die with?" “Yellow fever.” "Was they long sick?" "Not very.” “Did you get their cbists?" “Yes! I did." "Was they hopefully pious?” “I hope and trust they was.” “Well, If you got tlieir cliists and they wns hope fully pious, you have great reason to he thankful.” The stress laid on tin* “cliists" anil the placing of tlieir rescue before the piety of the lost husband and brother as reasons for thankfulness struck Kmerson as exceedingly characteristic of a certain class of Yankees and In- tluitely mirth provoking.
