THE GRAVE OF ELIA
Hurtons Effort to Find the Tomb of
Charles Luntb
Huttons Literary Landmarks of
Loudon was largely a labor of love
aud was the result of years of Lard
work Mr Hutton gives this example
of the difficulties that stood in his way
Another Sunday afternoon I devoted
to a pious pilgrimage to the grave of
Charles Lamb at Edmonton As usual
nobody at Edmonton knew anything
The churchyard Is not a small one and
It Is entirely filled The sexton and the
gravedigger and a few persons wan
dering about could give me no Infor
mation Most of them had never heard
of Mr Lamb and I could not find the
sacred spot Naturally I applied to the
rector and as he left the vestry door
after service leaning on the arm of a
pretty young woman I approached
him raised my hat and asked politely
if he could tell me where Charles and
Mary Lamb were resting Really ho
could not say And I forgetting the
day the place and his sacred office
cursed that rector for his criminal igno
rance
Great heavens I said you ought
to be ashamed of yourself In your
care have been placed the ashes of one
of the foremost men in the whole his
tory of English letters And you dont
know where they are They have made
your churchyard and your parish dis
tinguished all the world over I have
come 3000 miles to visit Charles
Lambs grave and you the rector of
the church dont know where it is
You ought to be heartily ashamed of
yourself And I turned upon my heel
and left him standing there speechless
and confounded
Half an hour after the above incident
occurred and while Hutton was grop
ing around the graveyard in the twi
light the rector came to him hat in
hanV apologized most humbly for his
ignorance which he had corrected in
the meantime and conducted him to
the grave of the immortal Elia
A VOCABULARY TEST
Some Words Strange to You That Are
Xn tlie Dictionary
The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in Websters Diction
ary Is considerably larger than people
have any Idea of The following letter
written by an alleged poet to an editor
who had treated his poetry with deri
sion furnishes some Idea of them
Sir You have behaved like an im
petiginous scrogle Like those who en
vious of any moral celsitude carry
their ungiclty to the height of creating
syniposically the fecund words which
my pollymathlc genius uses with uber
ty to abligate the tongues of the weet
less Sir you have crassly parodied
my own pet words as though they were
trangrams I will not coascervate re
proaches I will oduce a veil over the
atramenatal ingratitude which has
chamfered even my indiscerptible
heart I am silent on the focillation
which my coadjuvancy must have giv
en you when I offered to become your
fantor and adminicle I will not speak
of the lippitnde the oblepsy you have
shown in exacerbating me one whose
genius you should have approached
with mental discalceation So I tell
you without supervacaneous words
nothing will render Ignoscible your
conduct to me I warn you that I
would vellicate your nose if I thought
that any moral diarthrosis thereby
could be performed If I thought I
should not impignorate my reputation
Go tachygraphic scrogie band with
your crass lquinate fantors draw ob
jectations from the thought If you
can of having synchronlcally lost the
existlmation of the greatest poet since
Milton
And yet all these words are to be
found in the dictionary Chicago Jour
nal
Multiple Screws
Multiple screws were used as early
as the American civil war on certain
vessels known as tin clads on the
Mississippi their adoption being neces
sitated by the shallow draft The great
advantage they possess in securing a
vessel against total disablement and
for maneuvering soon made them the
rule In the navy They were much
longer in coming into use in the mer
chant service But since the era of the
very large transatlantic steamers be
ginning with the Paris and New York
and the Teutonic and Majestic all very
large vessels have been built with twin
screws
The Wis
The wig is older than civilization for
the savage used one to make him more
formidable on the field of battle The
French revolution killed the article as
a piece of headgear Before the guillo
tine fell in France the wigs which
adorned the heads of its victims cost
150 to 200 The costly decoration lin
gered a long time on official heads in
England So recently as 1S5S Arch
bishop Sumner found it necessary to
wear one at the marriage of the prin
cess royal
A Consistent Career

The Ants Ancestry
What makes Judge Ant so stuck
up Is he any better than the rest of

Is he Why say the judge is a di
rect descendant of the ant that the
sluggard was sent to Puck
Never hold any one by the buttOD or
the hand In order to be heard out for
if people are unwilling to hear you you
had better hold your tongue than them

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES
Borrowed Military Terms From tho
Arabic and the Spanish
In the early days the rank of admiral
was unknown The chief officer of a
squadron was called a constable or jus
tice The term admiral as now used
Is derived from the Arabic amir or
emir a commander as in
commander of the sea The
early English form was amlral and
is still preserved as such by the
French The Spanish and Portuguese
terms are aimlrante the Italian
ammiragllo The title captain is not
a naval but a military one Under the
older organization the real captain of
a ship was a master but a military of
ficer was placed on board though he
knew nothing about nautical affairs
As the captain became bigger and big
ger the master became smaller and
smaller until at the present day he
fills a subordinate position which Is
gradually becoming obsolete being re
placed by an officer under the title of
a navigating lieutenant
Commodore comes from the Spanish
coininendador The title lieutenant
borrowed directly from the French Is
more modern and Is meant as a place
holder or one who took the place of
the captain when absent Sublieuten
ant Is still more modern and at the
same time a misnomer as he never
was a sublieutenant but merely a
mate or one who assisted In former
days wo had no cadets but volun
teers nowever with the gradual ad
vance of polltness the more seemly
term of cadets was borrowed from the
French and adopted as the title of the
young gentlemen in our navy
In place of paymasters the ships of
old had pursers who looked after the
provisions The naval purser did more
He had charge of the stores of the
ship and the money chest Surgeons
and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties
of the doctors Chaplains are of mod
ern introduction Naval instructors
and schoolmasters ruled in their stead
Tho term mate was gather a universal
one and applied to all branches
GIOTTO THE ARTIST
The Circle He Drew Prom Whici
Grew a Fnmoas Phrase
Giotto was a famous painter sculp
tor nnd architect of the latter part of
the thirteenth century He was a son
of a poor shepherd but the attention
of the great master Clmabue having
been attracted to the boy by a draw
ing the lad had made on a fragment of
slate the young artists fame spread
rapidly throughout southern Europe
In those days It was customary for
tho popes to send for the noted men
of their realm more for the purpose of
gratifying their desires to see such
celebrities than anything else Giotto
was no exception to the rule No
sooner had the young Tuscan become
famous than Pope Boniface VIII in
vited him to Florence When young
Giotto arrived at tho gates of the
popes private grounds according to
the account the guard halted him and
inquired concerning his mission
The artist made the matter plain but
the guard was not satisfied with the
explanation frequently interrupting
Giottos explanatory remarks with I
know he must be a much larger and
distinguished looking person than your
self and Giotto too is a famous
painter By your walk I would take
you to be a shepherd Finally upon
demanding evidence of the artists
skill the latter stooped and traced a
perfect O in the dust of the path with
his finger Any one who has ever at
tempted the feat of drawing a perfect
circle offhand well knows how diffi
cult it is
It is needless to add that the artist
was forthwith ushered into the pres
ence of the supreme pontiff and that
since that time Rounder than Giottos
O has been a favorite hyperbole to in
dicate impossible perfection
A Womnnh Paradise
Manxwoman declares that the Isle of
Man is in some ways a womans para
dise where at any rate she is more fa
vored by the law than in any other
part of the kings dominions Among
other privileges she enjoys a vote for
the Manx house of keys and this
whether she is a widow or spinster
owner occupier or even lodger Every
widow enjoys half of her husbands
personal estate quite regardless of her
late husbands wishes and will
while the husband cannot even deal
with his own property without first ob
taining his wifes written consent to
the transaction
St Matthews Flower
No saint has a more interesting flow
er dedicated to him in the floral calen
dar than St Matthew This is the pas
sion flower It is thought to have em
blems of the crucifixion and to these it
owes the name given to it by its Span
ish discoverers in America The im
aginary resemblance of the corona to
the crown of thorns is the basis of the
fancy In addition to that there are the
five antlers for the five wounds and
the three styles for the nails while the
hammer the lancet and the scourge are
also traceable
Dont Hinder Others
Next in practical importance to the
being possessed by a purpose of doing
something in the world is the being
possessed by the purpose of not hinder
ing others in their doing whatever they
have to do in the world Faith and
Works
