Tho original of Sain Weiler was Sam . yule, an English low comedian, who, \ In the early part of tho last century, was \ quite popular In the south of England. > In tho yenr 1811, and for a few years after, he made quite a reputation in the musical farce culled "Tho Hoarding House," written by Deusley. In this he played the part of Simon Spatter dash, a person who Indulged in odd and whimsical sayings. "Como on, as the old man said to the tight boot;" "I am dow* on you, as the extinguisher said to tie candle;" "Let every one take - ""care of himself, as the donkey Bald When dancing among the chickens," nre fair Illustrations of his witticisms In the courso of that play, the resem blance between them and boiuo of the sayings of Sam Wellor being- very marked. In private life Yale was ft wit, and many good things In bis own time were credited to him. A man of excellent temper, he had no enemies, and the good humor which pervuded every saying, together with tho droll ery of his manner, gave his witticisms unusual value. His sayings were called Sam Valerlsms, and on the appearance Of Pickwick in 1830 tho character of Weller was generally recogulzed as a portraiture of Vale. The comedian died In 1848 nt tho age of ffty-ono. THE WILLOW TREE. John l'nrkc Cast IH I'lnnted the Flrnt One In TIiIn Country. When the south sea bubble In Eng land collapsed one of tho speculators went to Smyrna to repair his fortune. He was a friend of Alexander Pope and sent him a box of tigs in which had been placed a twig of a tree. Pope planted the twig on his grounds on the Bhore of the Thuines, not knowing of what tree it was. It grew and was a weeping willow. In 1775, when tho tree was over fifty years old, one of the young British officers who enmo to Boston with the British army brought a twig from the tree, which ho intend ed to plant on his lands after the re bellion bad been crushed, .lohn Parke ?ustls, son of Mrs. Washington, going on errands to the British camp under a flog of truce, became acquainted With the owjier of the willow twig, Which vj^fr??^ed In oiled silk, und ob talned M^W^fcrffcv!, ivhic'-. i,e planted near his lv(m(, nt Vbingdon, Vn., where it becan>e the progenitor of all the weeping Avitiow s ju America. Anemone Pacts. (nrnllsta have duly recorded that ihatf if n Kea anemone be divided in fes longitudinally a new animal will lme be reproduced by each half, us ing the anemone Js kept in pure sen rater. An old zoologist relates how he itched an anemone which somehow or other had contrived to half swallow one of the valves of an oyster shell. Practically tho shell struck In its glat ?ard and gradually cut Its way down through the soft tissues of the anem one until It halved tho animal as by a partition. Perfect reproduction of two anemones through the division of one was noted to he the result of this accident. Even a fragment or two of nu anemone body left attached to Its rock may in due season reproduco a .new body.?I/ondon News. Soldier*' Supcrnt It Iomn. Among the numerous superstitions of tho Cossacks there Is none utronger than tho belief that they will enter heaven In n better slate if they are per sonally clean at the time they are killed. Consequently before an expected battle they perform their toilets with scrupu lous care, drees themselves in clean garments nnd put on tho best they Have. This superstition is not confined to the Cossacks alone, but la widely prevalent in all branches of the Rus sian army. Mnklna- It show. Holly- How did Marie learn to use her left hand so gracefully?

BLOTTING PAPER, it wh* Known und Used. i;? 1,,,IV I,U(,,t It* tho Yoni- I There in a pretty prevalent belief that blotting paper la a modern Invention: that a hundred year? ago it was un known, white sand bel?g UB6d In Its Btead. Blotting paper, an a matter of fact, wns a rei M rni/.ed convenience of the writing deals aa far back us \*'>~~>. in that year there was Issued u book called "Townsond's Preparative to Pleading," a copy i f which Is In tho possession of a Chicago antiquary, and this volume contains on page 8 tho following para graph; "Let the dusting or sanding In books bo avoided, rather URlng line bl'OWll pa per to provent blotting if tliuo of the Ink's drying cannot he allowed, for Bond takes away tho good color of tho luk, and, getting Into the hacks of books, makes them break their bind ing." The sand that was used for blotting in tho past was, the Chlcugo antiquary Bays, very clean and white and One, and it was called Kilver na ml. It was kept in a cruet with a perforated ltd, like a salt cruet, and thence it was sifted over the wet writing. An odd thing about It was that the ink never seemed to stain It. It could he used over and over and It renlalued to the end as white as snow. BATTLE STANDARDS. So Auclnnt Thnt Their Use Im Heu tinned In the Bible. Tbo custom of carrying Hags or stand ards In battle dales hack at lens! to 1400 n. O. We lind in Numbers 11, 2, that "every nu ii of the children of Israel'slit)II pitch by his own standard with the ensign of his father's house." Each Standard of the twelve tribes thus distinguished was supposed to have been of a color to correspond with the stone In Aaron's breastplate which bore the name of that tribe. Under the generic name banner are included many species. BUCb nu standard, ensign, pen non, flag, etc. These have been used from earliest times and In all countries to direct movements <?f troops. The oai'.Icsl Kornau standard was a bun lie Of straw lixe.l to the top of a spear. This was succeeded by fig ures of nulluni?, such as llio horse and the hoar, which gave place lo the eagle, the chief Roman ensign, after ward nrsnmod by the German nut French emperors. By every warlike people the banner has been regarded us mi emblem of national honor, in do fenso of which each soldier was at all times ready to die, while banners and flags taken from the enemy have al ways been special trophies of victory to which places of I onor In public buildings have been assigned. BOOTS AND SPURS. qanlnt Account of Iliiniriirlnn Cnv tilry In Olden Diiyn, A contemporary manuscript account of tho diet of Katisbon, hold In 1080 by the Emperor Ferdinand II. on the oc casion of the Inndiug of Qustavna Adolphus of Sweden in Gerumuy, men tions us a reinarknble fact thnt tbo Hungarian cavalry who rode through the streets to the ceremonial wore their spurs on their boot soles. It Is difficult to credit thnt these spurs were fixed on the fiat of the boot, for thus shod the horsemen could nei ther walk nor stand, especial])' when the large size of the ; purs worn nt fSu i period Is considered. Probably the j writer Intended to indicate that in- | stead of being fastened to tho heel lu 1 the usual fashion they were made to project from tho fore part of tho mili tary boot, which Is a portion of the' sole. Frederick von Raumcr, who quotes this In his "History of tho Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Illustrated ! by Original Documents," passes the matter over without comment. The i name manuscript adds that the Hunga# rian horses had their manes, tails and foot painted rod. Ancient DrlnUJnft Calldn. It Js gravely said by an authority that tho Dutch guilds, the most nnclont of work logmen's organizations, had their origin In the drmktug guilds, j which, although they did not, ns In tho case of tbo Greeks nnd Romans, exalt drink to the rank of a deity, niado it a kind of civic dignitary. Tneso drink guilds and drink brethren existed from 1 the earliest times until the latter part ' of tho sixteenth century, when their excesses led to their suppression. It Is held that men who worked together drank together and thus formed tho primitive club which developed Into the guild.- Notes and Queries. A Good n?oonimendntloti.
