xv INHERIT THE 108. The Postmasters of a Little Town In Kent, England. - Forty years before. a quite a boy, Jones had left a little towr. in Kent. Engjand. Now. on the first long vaca tion be ever had since, he was visiting his childbood cenes. He had remem bered that the postmaster's name was Pengelley. and be bad remembered, too, that he was a kindly old man. There wasn't the slightest probability. be thought, that the postmaster was still allve, but his acquaintance with the former incumbent might smooth things a lttle with the new one, so that the whereabouts of people to whom be bad been directed would be made known. "What's become of Mr. Peugelley?' he asked, Interrupting for a moment his majesty's letter assorter. "I am Mr. Pengelley." "Perhaps you're his son." "Yes; my father's name was Pen geley. too," drawled the Englshman. "I mean the postmaster." "So do ." "Was your father postmaster forty years ago?" "My word. no! That was my grand father.

A business man who in his univer sity days had been a devoted student of ethks sat down in a lower Broad way lunch room a few days ago and saw something that awakened a par ticular train of thought in channels unused since his student days. Directly opposite him two men were finishing their midday meal. One. a sprocely dressed chap, sipped his last drop of cofee, placed a dime on the table in front of his empty cup and walked out. The other, equally well dressed. took a little longer time over his coffee before preparing to go. Then just as he was about to rise be furtively passed his hand over to the dime in front of his former neighbor's late and moved It to a position In front of his own. He then walked hastly out. The waiter a moment dattr picked up the dime. noting be fore whose plate It was. and cleaned away the ishes, mumbling the while. Now the former colege man is won dering whether this is not a case where he can aptly apply those words of Eaukeepeare, "Who steals my purse steals trash. ** * but be that ficbes from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor Indeed."-New Yok Tribune. "Nis Prius." People ofteu ask the meaning of the legal expression "nisi prius." Literally interpreted, it means "unless before." a name given to the sittings of a court for the trial of civil causes. Judges on circuit. besides trying prisoners, have the power to give decisions In causes of complaints between private parties and when so acting are called -.judges or "nisi prills." Formerly, when the circuits were less frequent, the aheriff was commanded -by writ" to being the jury and witnesses fro-n the county where the action arose to meetIster. Gloucester or Wincbester en a certain day, but when the assizes became frequent a "nisi prius" clause was Inseeted in the writ containing these words: "Unless before that day our justices shall come to your county and take the ases there." As It hap pened that the asseres always did take place before the date named in the writ, the clams was practically useless and now remains only as a name for those civil causes to which until re cently it referred.-Dundee Advertiser.

Bold Highway Robber and the First English Woman Smoker. d Mary Frith. better known as Moll Cutpurse, was a notable figure in old time London life. She had the repu- d tation of being the first woman to smoke tobacco in England. u The length of her days is a disputeu point, but it seems certain that she ut tained the age of over threescore years. and ten. It is asserted that coneiant :E smoking prolonged her life. A por trait representing her in the act of . smoking forms the frontispiece of Mid dleton's comedy of the "Roaring Girl."n She also fgures in other plays of the perlod. D Mary was the daughter of a shoe maker living in the Barbican, and Ma lone gives 1591 as the date of her birth. She early took to wicked ways and became a noted 'ighwayman. Among her familiar friends were the notorious Captain Hind and Richard Haunam. She was an'expert swords woman. Single handed she rubbed on Hounslow heath General Fairfax of 200 gold jacobuses. shooting him through the arm and killing two of his horses on which his servants were riding. For the offense she was com mitted to Newgate, but on paying the r general 2.000 she obtained her liberty. At-one time Mary had ?3.000 of her own, but by giving money to distress ed cavaliers she died comparatively1a poor. Her death took place in .uly. Bridgets.-Millg1te Monthly.

A Paris contemporary dealing with the love of great men for animals gives a1n amusing account of Chateau briand and his monkey. When he was enga;ed in preparing Fontanes' works for the press. on returning one day be was met li his monkey. "A h. you rogue." said Ciateaubriand, "your shamefaced look tells of mis chief." The monkey was chained up, but as things did not appear much dis turbed Chateaubriand thought no more of the matter until 't was time to re sume work. Fontanes' manuscripts were not to be found. At last Chateaubriand looked into the waste paper basket, and there were the manuscripts. The monkey had watched his master, and as he had seen him fold a sheet of paper and tear it into four. so he had dtalt with Fontanes' writings. With much labor they were pieced together and after ward published. Chateaubriand thought it advisable to see what else the monkey had done. His orders had disappeared from a drawer which was always kept closed. The servants searched everywhere for them, but they were not to be found. Nearly a week elapsed before tby were traced. and then a domestic no ticed that the monkey had suspended them to the cornice in a quasi-sym metrical way. The umankey was given his conge. and Chatbeaubriand replaced him by a cat. which was allowed a place on his master's writing table. and great was the pleasure which be derived In playing with puss. DIVING FOR COINS. The Natives of Madeira Are Experts at the Business. As we drew in and came to anchor we saw descending upon us a Beet of small. curious boats filled with half naked amen. We suspected now that Madeira was a cannibal island and pre pared for the worst. It was not quite as bad as that. They merely wanted us to throw coins over into the liquid azure which they call water In this country. whereupon their divers would try to intercept the said coins some where between the top and bottom of the sea. We didn't believe they could do it. but we tried and, as usual. found that the other fellow knew his own game better than we did. If those amphibians did not always get the coins they generaliy did. They could see them perfectly in that amaz Ing water, and they could dire like seals. Some of the divers were mere chldren-poor, lean creatures who stood up In their boats and shouted and implored and swung their ::rms in a wild invitation to us to fling our money overboard. But they did not want small money-at least not very small money. They declined to dive for pennies. Perhaps they could only dis inguish the gleam of the white metal.

The custom of placingt a green bough on the roof of a newly bullt house Is not confined to Germany. but was adoted by the French Canadians. who brought it with them from Brittany. The custom originated from the super stition prevalent centuries aigo that every tree is inhabIted by a spirit. consequently it was belIeved that ev er' time a tree wams felled another sprit was dispossessed. atnd this was supposed to cause some bitterness on his part against society. Rlather than risk having' these homeless and dis gruntled spirits vent their ill feeling upon the houses under construction or upon the builders a branch was plant ed on the highest part of the house for their occupancy. They were thea supposed to be mollified, and if they reinted so until the roof was put on any evil design contemplated would prove harmless, for the spell would be broken.-Van Norden's M1agazine.
