A hundred and fifty years ago the farm hands and house servants of England were clothed in leather. A good pair of leather breeches was said to pass from father to son as an heir loom. Thou a boy went to school as well protected as an armored cruiser. The author of “Dldlsliurye in the ’45" offers some observations upon these articles of common wear; The test of a g|od pair was to try If they would stand upright of themselves when no body was In them. If they would do so they were good, strong stuff nnd likely to last for many years. My father remembered a prentice lad com ing to his fntlier, whose fond mother had provided him with such a pair, nnd they were the means of a "vast of fun" In a game that Is unknown In these days—that Is. for the boys to set the breeches upright and then Jump Into them without touching them with the hands. It was probably a pair of such leather breeches that the Windsor boy was wearing when George III, asked him If he did not know that the man before him was the king* “Yes.” said the boy. “Then why don’t you go on your knees, and you might kiss the king’s hand," said the king. "Because I’d spoil m.v breeches." Xniiipn. There are some queer nooks and cor ners hi the state of Maine, and many of the titles of the smaller towns and localities are worthy of special men tion.

According to the best authorities on curiosities of the navy and warfare In general, the first armored vessel wus launched hi the year 1580. It was one of the fleet inunued by the Knights of St. John and was entirely covered with sheets of lend. The accounts of the times leave us In darkness ns to the thickness of this lead armor, hut they ore very positive In the statement that they were of sufficient strength to “successfully resist all the shots of that day.” At the siege of Glbniltnr In 1782 the French and Spaniards used war vessels which were armored with “light iron boom proofing over their decks and to the water’s edge." Thu very first practical use of wrought Iron plates as a defense for the sides of vessels was by the French In the Orl- meun war In 1853. JiuniM-rs of Hu- Son. Many of the iiilmhltaiits of the sea are good jumpers and some have be come famous. Among them should he mentioned the tarpon or silver kl.ig, a huge fish with scales that gleam like silver. In the Pacific waters the tunu, an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted for Its leaps. Sometimes a school sweeps up the coast, and the powerful fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are seen In the air In every direction. They dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five or six feet in the air and come down, keeping the water for acres in a foam, and.

A little Portland miss, whose first name is Grace, had never attended church, being too little nnd too lively to lie trusted there, according to the Kennebec Journal. But nt last her mother permitted her to accompany an elder sister, giving her grave warn ings beforehand. The rector of the church was a frequent caller at Grace's home, and her mother feared that oil this account she might take liberties. "You must sit still,” she said, “and you must not say one word, but let Mr. Hnmuioiid do the talking. Now, remember." Oracle behaved very well In meet ing. As soon as she reached home she reported: “Oh, mamma, I did keep still—real still, anil when Mr. Hammond called me right out In meeting I never stirred to go to him." “Called you? Why, child, lie never called you In meeting." "Yes, but he did, mamma. He said tlwee or four times, ‘Send down Grace,’ but I sal as still as a mouse.” Tilt- Mi-rnlna (if “Urltljcc."

The only road of com munication lay over a somewhat dan gerous bridge. It was a frequent oc currence for the departing guests to say to their IiosIh: "Thank goodness, It Is your 'bridge' tomorrow," meaning that the other party would have to cross the dangerous bridge the next night; hence is said to have arisen tin* title of ‘'bridge," We give lids story for what II Is worth, but in our own mind we have little doubt that the modern name of "bridge" is merely a very easy corruption of the old title of "blrltcli.” The two words “blrltch" and “bridge" have absolutely the same sound when spoken quickly, so that It Is easy to Imagine how the change came to pass.

But even then the heels of tlielr tracks nre considerably closer than hi tracks made by a hog or a sheep.
