No one knew better the power pos sessed hy a really polished compliment than Sheridan, and on innumerable oc casions during that rather stormy the atrlen! management of his did he ex triente himself from a difficulty by means of one. A good instance is the following: An English nobleman who had married a beautiful actress once applied with much dignity in the greenroom to Mr. Sheridan for the ar rears of her salary and vowed that he would not stir till they were paid. "My dear lord," said the impecunious manager, "this is too bad. You have, taken fronm us the brightest jewel in I the world. and you now quarrel with us for the little dust she has left be hind her." The nobleman immedlately'burst oat laughing, and the debt was canceled. London Standard. Graveyard Marriages. A strange custom prevails among a certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a single young man dies. some one calls upon a bereaved. parent who has car ried to the grave a marriageable daughter in the course of a year and says: "Your son is sure to want a wife. I'll give you my daughter, and you shall deliver to me the marriage portion in return." A friendly offer'of this description is never rejected, and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amount of the dowry, which varies according to the advantages possessed 'by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have been known where the young man's father has given as much as thirty cows to secure a dead wife for his dead son. Worked the Visitor.

Bjornson's son, in describing the last iours of his father, writes: "Now and hien the bright flame of his humor lickered up. The doctor felt his pulse md said it was good. With his face yeamilng with humor he turned toward ,a is and said, 'I am the first man to die ~ with a good pulse.' He said one even- 'E .g-and it seemed as if an old wise an was speaking with the weight of xperience, 'Now I could write-yes, low I could write, for I have been in he realms of death and have felt the' >ain that attends death.' And when ll of us thought that the indifference >f death was upon him-my mother. who always gave him his food, which - he would receive only from her, stood it the bedside with a brooch on her breast which she had worn at her con rrmation-then he opened his eyes and Looked at her. He smiled, lifted his band and touched the brooch. This was the last sign to the outer world he was able to give." When H-e Was Bad. It has been said that. you never know " L man till you travel with him, and ertainly traveling has a tendency to ring out all the depravity innate in . iuman nature. Out of this test, bow ve.
