Brown & C Going Back a Long Way. Pick up any peerage book and yo will find it bristling with ancestr: names whose presence is much mot dffcult to explain than that of the fl in the amber. And as you descend i the social scale the fictions multiply from the pedigrees of the landed gentr to the family trees proudly cherished i hundreds of middle class homes. Bi these lineages, aspiring as they ar are of mushroom growth compare with many that are claimed with seen ing honesty. At Mostyn hall you ma see a vellum roll, seven yards lon headed by no less famous an ancestc than "Adam, son of God." Anothe pedigree at the college of herald starts thus modestly with Adam an the garden of Eden. and Wales ha many a family tree which traces d< scent with unerring hand from th same remote origin. What Became of the Trousers. Of Judge Parry's many stories of th Manchester county court that abou the comedy of a man's Sunday trouser is one of the best. In the plaintiff box was a woman, in the defendant an elderly collier. The plaintiff state her case: "I lent yon mon's missis m; mon's Sunday trousers to pay 'is ren with, an' I want 'em back." The dE fendant at first replied, "There's now in it at all." Pressed for a more def nite reply, he scowled at the judge an, protested, "Why, the 'ole street kno"' all about them trousers." But Judg Parry was not the "'ole street," an be patiently encouraged the defendan to talk until he got the explanatior "Why, yon woman 'an my missi dran] them Sunday trousers."-Westmlnste Gazette.

His soldiers, desirous of giving their great leader a right royal t burial, inclosed his body first in a casket of gold, this in one of silver and I this in one of lead, and transported it s into a desert. There slaves were se Slected, and under'the direction of men 1 who were sworn to secrecy they dug t the grave of the dead monarch. When . this was accomplished no traces of the z spot were left. The slaves were all r cruelly 5mm. Alaric, king of the Goths, the cele brated conqueror of Ror- . died when with his army at Cozenza, south Italy. His men turned the course of a river, interl'ed the- body of their sovereign, Lwith much treasure, in its bed and restored the stream to its channel. No man has ever lighted on the rest ing place of either of these kings, who in this respect resemble Moses, of whom it is written, "No man knoweth of his sepulcher unto this day." - Died From Bad Writing. German handwriting attains a de gree of illegibility unknown in Latin script. A tragic instance of this fact was afforded by the death of Johann Bacher, an Austrian musician of the last century. Bacher spent most of his leisure for fifteen years in compil ing a history of the Viennese opera. When the manuscript was completed he submitted it to the Imperial acad emy, which had promised to publish it. In three months it was returned with a statement that uo member of the academy could decipher it. Bacher then sought to have it copied, but no copyist capable of deciphering it was to be found. As a last resource he de termined to dictate his work to an amanuensis only to discover that the greater part of the manuscript was -illegible even to himself. The thought of his wasted years of labor unhinged his brain, and in a fit of depression he committed suicide. -The.Sound Sleep of Good Health Can not be over estimated and any ail ment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire, I Wis., says: "I have been unable to sleep soundly nights, because of pains across my back and sdreness of my kid neys. My appetite was very poor and my general condition was iich run down. I have been taking Foley Kid ney Pills but a short time and now sleep as sound as a rock, my general condition tis greatly improved, and I know that Foley Kidney Pills have cured me." - W. E. Brown & Co. Whales In Nets. Just south of the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, where in a landlocked harbor beautiful Wangamumun nestles in the shadow of Cape Brett. there is established a whaling station, and here is carried on the unique business of catching whales by means of nets set in a narrow channel between rugged rocks. The cetaceans frequent this passage, it is said, to rub off the ac - cumulation of sea growing parasites a gained in long journeys through deep - water. 1The Word Vaudeville. - The word "vaudeville" sprang from Vaux de Vire, the name of a hamlet in the picturesque town of Vire, in Switzerland. In the fifteenth century this town was the home of Oliver Basselin, the author of witty drinking songs. One of the best known of these songs was a merry dissertation on the author's red nose.

KILLYHECOUGH ANCUREmhLUNGS AND ALtLThROAT AND LUNG TROUBLES t 6'/AANTEED S'AT/SFACTORY e IOR MOQNEY RE/NDED. A Maniac's Poem. Probably the mass of prison poetry which has been written on stools and bedposts and scratched on prison walls far exceeds that which has found ex pression on paper. and many a "mute. inglorious Milton" has begun and fin ished his poetical career with these "lost to sight" productions. There is in existence a short poem, said to have been scratched by a maniac on the wall of his cell, which runs thus: Could I with ink the ocean fill. Were all the world of parchment made. Were every reed on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade, To write the love of God alone Would drain that ocean dry: Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky. The authenticity of this being the work of a maniac has often been ques- g tioned because of the beauty of its ex pression and its sound reason. but the story stands.-London Saturday Re view. Bird Stories. A German scientific journal publish ed in IS97 a story to the effect that a golden eagle shot in that year at Es zeg. Slavonia, was found to have a ring about its neck engraved on which were the arms of a Slavonian family and the date 1646. In 1793 the Gentleman's Magazine told about a hawk, captured when fly ing in the vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope and taken by an Indian ship to England. which wore a gold collar in scribed: "This goodlie hawk doth belong to his Most Excellent Majesty James. King of England. A. D. 1610." If this bird really escaped from England in the reign of James. 1SS years elapsed between its escape and . its recapture. and it bad flown a dis tance of 6,500 miles away -from its former owner.
