A right amusing coincidence oc curred in a law office on Newcastle street this morning. Three attorneys, two drug clerks, a physician and a newspaper reporter chanced to meet ir. the oflice and during the course of the conversa tion, a lively discussion ensued on ' the subject of cigars. : “I used to smoke ten cent cigars all the time,” said one of the lesal lights, “but I've quit that kind of foolish extravagance. I have suc ceeded in finding a nickle cigar that suits my taste and pocket book, I exactly.” “What’s the brand?” asked two or three voices. • “The Panatella, a Key West beauty, sold by this fellow Altinayer up there by Taylor <fc Davis’ shoe store.” With that, the other six fished out a cigar each from their vest pockets and planked it down on the speaker’s , desk. . Strange to say, they were all Panatelias,’and everybody wore a sur prising smile. The reporter was an attache of j The Post, and being curious to know just how- many other Brunswickiahs had found their favorite smoker in Panatella. called at Mr. Altmayer’s and inquired. The genial proprietor of that popular smoking emporium, after examining his ledger, answered : “There are twenty-seven men in Brunswick who never smoke any thing else than the Panatella, and, strange to say, I have never adver tised that brand in the least. It recommends itself to every man who gives it a test.” With that the reporter left, entitled that he was a fair judge of a cigar. CH ARLEY 'brown .

Tho Figure to be Seen About Two Miles North of Lamburne- What the Standard of , the Saxon Was. ♦ Abotit two miles to the north of , Lamboume, in Berkshire, England, is White Horse hill, on summit of < wh li lii.-o- is a fm-gi- R-. srm entrench- I ment called fffington castle. A little • below the eastleon the steep side of the r hill facing the northwest is the figure of a gigantic white horse, the dimen- ' sions of which extend over about an acre of ground. Its head, neck, body i and tail consist of one white line, as t does also each of its four legs. Tho out lines of this monstrous specimen of the genus equti are formed by cutting 1 trenches in the chalk, of which the hill 1 is mainly composed, the ditches being t 2 or 15 feet in depth and about 10 feet wide. The chalk of the trench being of a beautiful white color, and tho sur rounding turf tho greenest of green, the J figure of the horse cun bo plainly seen j at a distance of twelve miles, and even ( farther, it is said, if the sun is shining brightly. ( A white horse is known to have been n the standard of the Saxons, and some t have supposed that this monster em ' blematic figure was made by Ilengist, one of the Saxon kings. Mr. Wise, an 8 author who has written' much of the s celebrated white horse of Berkshire. ( brings several arguments to prove that | this figure was made under order of Al fred during the reign of Ethelred, hie brother, and that the figure is a monu ment to a victory over the Dunes in tho year 871. Other well known writers *■ aro of tho opinion that the wonderful t white horse is a natural freak, one of . nature’s oddest oddities. Ashmead- j Burton thinks that the early tribes noted the outlines of a horse on the ! hillside and gradually worked it into 1 its present graceful syiunr try. | However this may be, it i..is been a custom since time out of memory foi ' the neighboring peasants to assemble on 1 a certain day of each year, usually about I midsummer, to clear away the weeds from the White Horse and trim the edges of the trench so as to preserve tho color and shape. This task is known for miles around as “Scouring the Horse.” A large mound at the foot of White Horse Hill and almost directly under the “Horse" is called Dragon Hill. Here, according to tradition, St. George killed the dragon. On the top of this mound, or “barrow." there is a space I about fifty yards square upon which I not a spear of grass has grown during I the hist thousand years. The peasants I say that tho grass cannot grow on ac count of the ground having been poi soned with the dragon’s blood at the time Bt. George gave, him the fatal wound. —St. Louis Republic. “Down on the Niiil.” This is a well known half slang phrase used for a cash payment. Os its history I cannot speak, but 1 con fess to feeling startled when 1 found it, as if“seems to me, in a parliamentary deed of King Robert the Bruce. By indenture dated July 15, 132(5 (Scots Acts I. 4765, a tenth penny was cove nanted for, payable to the king. On his part he agreed not to exact certain prises and carriages unless he was pass ing through tho realm, after the cus tom of his predecessor, Alexander 111, “for which prises and carriages full payment should be made super un guem.” (The words are, “Pro quibus prisiset eariagiis plena flat soluciosuper unguem.”) I am aware of the classical use of the phrase “in unguem,” or “ad un •.-ui'iii," signifying “to a nicety,” but it I does not seem to apply here. At the : snmc time the corresponding French phrase "payer rubis sur I’ongle” may make this doubtful. Just below the passage cited occurs another, in which payment is to be made “in mnnu.” Both in my opinion refer to ready money, and I do not hesitate to trans late “super unguem” “down on the nail." Hitherto I have supposed the nail to be a figure of speech for the I counter on which tho coin was told, j Apparently tills is erroneous, as it is clearly the fingernail which is referred to. —Notesand Queries. Old Parsons. The old faSioned country parsons of the English church lived more on the social level of the farmers and yeomen than of the squires, though in many cases they were men of culture. The Rev. S. Baring-Gould tells an anecdote of a parson of this class who was in vited to spend two days with a great squire Kiine miles from the parsonage. He went, stayed his allotted time and disappeared. Two days later the lady of the house, happening to go into the servants' hall In the evening, was amazed to find her late guest there. After he had finished his visit upstairs he had accepted the invitation of the butler to spend another two days be low. “Like Persephone, madam,” he said apologetically, “half my time above, i half in the nether world.”—Youth’s Companion.

A floor walker and detective were culled up. Both recognized tho trick as a well known one, “against which,” said the floor walker, “there is really no adequate protection, so long as ladies keep up the habit of running about from counter to counter without gathering up their parcels. One reason for the issue of transfer cards is to guard against just this sort of thing. If n shopper only expects to purchase two or three things she may, if in haste, have these follow- her, and pay for them finally all together. These shop lifters often secure the pareels and change without the ruse of posing as a friend, for it is difficult for a saleswo man at a busy hour to identify readily ii purchaser of twenty minutes previous. Ladies themselves are often puzzled and will come baek to a counter ask ing. uncertainly: ‘Are you the one I bought such and such articles froinT Yet they expect a saleswoman to re member perfectly.
