James Crossley, a noted English bib liomaniac, hied him one memorable day to a bookstall in Shudehill market and, spying a little volume, took it up and glanced carelessly through It. After awhile be asked Its price from an old woman and was told it was two and sixpence. "i'll give you six pence for It," said Crossley.i "Nay." replied the poor old dame; 'it cost me 2 shillings." Whereupon our book de rourer threw It down in disgust and retired. A gentleman, overhearing the altercation, stepped forward and- pur chased it at the sum demanded. Cross ley returned soon after and, noticing the book had gone. anxiously inquired what had become of it. "Sold," an swered the woman. "for what you re fused to give." "Tell me who bought it. and I'll give him 10 shillings for It!" said Crossley eagerly. The moral is self evident. . The Ampersand. Brewer says the sign & Is called "anders, ampers or amprus." It is '1 sometimes called "short and." In old m en times it was known as ampersand, )f but that word long ago fell into dis use. It is simply a contracted and d. rapidly made form of the Latin et.

The three other human horns also 4 graced the heads of ladies. 4 In Sir R"obert Sibbald's *istory of Fife," a curious book published about the beginning of the eighteenth cen tury, we read: "A person of quality. a lady of great age in this shire. had a horn growing out of her toe and put her from warking. It was cut off by Dr. H.. and she was freed of pain and walked." They May Not Use Blotting Paper. There are probably few houses. busl ness or otherwise, in England. that do -not possess a sheet of blotting paper. It Is one of the commonest articles of everyday use. And yet there is at least one calling wbse activities are of vital importance to the nation. the members of which are absolutely forbidden to use blotting paper-that of registrar. Registrars are supplied with a special kind of ink, which is permanent and very black In order that It may be thoroughly effective It must be allowed to dry of its own accord. India rubber or nny otner form of eraser is likewise' forbidden If the registrar mnkts a1 slip of the pen that slip must stand. If he writes a word wrongly he must draw a line t-brough It and write the correction above. Even smudges and blots must be left unera-sed.- London Answers - Browning's Vision ard Memory.
