Poles at which Ole Bull drawing himself up inquired When has a Norwegian shown himself dis loyal to the king Then without waiting for an answer he announced that he must nt once take leave Upon this the king turned to him with an Imperious I command you to stay But the violinist shrugged his shoul ders and replied Then 1 will see sire whether a Norwegian remains free In the palace of the king of Sweden At this as Ole Bull would tell when re counting the scene there came into the face of the monarch the most winning smile he had ever seen on a human countenance and putting out his hand impulsively Bernadotte exclaimed Nay I heg you to remain A prince should hear the opinions of all his peo ple And the talk which then resulted was the basis of deep conudeuce on both sides Century IfeinecUen the German Prodlsry Christian Henry Helnecken the most wonderful of all the worlds precocious prodigies was born at Lubeck Ger many In the year 1721 When but nine and a half months of age this human wonder could pronounce every word contained In the German language and before he had rounded out hid iirst year of earthly existence he knew all the leading events of the worlds history At the age of fourteen months he could give chapter and verse of any quoted passage of the Scriptures and knew the history of every book in both the Old and New Testaments At the age of two and a half years he could an swer every question in the geographies and histories then in use and could con verse with visitors in either German French Dutch Latin or Greek Ilis fourth year was devoted to the study of religion and ancient history He had finished the studies mentioned and had started ou a course in oriental religion when he suddenly died before complet ing his fourth year Three Boys ami a Cioek Three boys in a house were told ti go and take the exact tiine by a clock in the town The first lad wont look ed at the clock came back and paid It is 12 oclock In after life he became a prosaic bookseller The second boy was more exact Ho said on returning that it was three minutes past 12 He became a doctor The third lad looked at the clock found out how long it had taken him to walk back to the house returned to the clock then added the time of his walk to the time of the clock and re ported the result thus It is at this moment 12 hours 10 minutes and 13 seconds That boy came to distinction as Helmholtz the scientist A Divided Church There is a very striking instance of religious toleration in Heidelberg an ancient city of Germany One of the most important buildings of that town is the Church of the Holy Ghost Through the middle of this building a partition wall has been run so that services according to the Roman Cath olic and the Protestant ritual may be held at the same time In the year 1719 an attempt was made by Charles Philip the Elector to deprive the Frot estants of their half of the church but the townspeople made so strong a re sistance that he was obliged to desist and even to remove the electoral court from Heidelberg toMannheim Lon don Mail Kumlilc Pie There is a queer twist of language In the phrase to eat humble pie The word humble is a corrupted form of the original numble which is an in edible part of the carcass of a deer and would make very poor pie The words humble pie have the same original meaning as to eat crow a phrase common in political life There is an enforced humility in this process and the change from numble to humble Introduced a thought which harmo nized with the idea sought to be ex pressed The last form of the phrase has entirely supplanted the original Ills Expenses One of the candidates at an election in Derbyshire England was a new comer not remarkable for his generos ity He found himself defeated at the polls and bade adieu to the electors with the words At any rate ladies and gentlemen my wife and I have spent a very happy fortnight in the peak Yes came a sudden retort from the crowd and thats all you have spent The Modest Girl Ah my love sighed the ardent lover if you only knew how beautiful you are You mustnt speak of it protested the modest girl I dont want to know Why not Because

Marshal Isaac O Barnes having died he attended the funeral He arrived promptly and seated himself in tl crowded room to await the service For some reason there was a very lon delay and the solemn silence ai th darkened room was anything but con genial to a man of Mr Barnes diio sitiou The heat also was very opress Ive Fanning himself vigorously with his bat and twisting uneasily in his chair Barnes remained silent for what to him was a very long time But at last being unable to contain himself longer he leaned over toward a solemn lock ing man on his right and remarked in a hoarse whisper audible all over the room I presume you were well ac quainted with Billy referring to the deceased Yes Indeed said the stranger IK was a vary line man I should say he was replied Barnes and smart too smarter than lightning Why sir he continued in a louder whisper getting excited if he had had the running of this funeral hed been underground an hour ago Boston Herald Antiquity of Wood Enprravlnpr Wood engraving the art of cutting designs on wood in relief is said to have been known and practiced by the Chinese as far back in the worlds his tory as the rign of the famous Em peror Wu Vang 1120 B C Wood stamps were without doubt used by the ancient Egyptians and Romans lo marking brick and other articles of clay and in various European countries for attesting deeds and documents at a very early period when writing was quite a rare accomplishment Wood engraving as we now understand it dates from the beginning of the fif teenth century and was used at that time In Germany for printing playing cards and ligures of saints The earli est known example is in a collection made by Earl Spencer It represents St Christopher carrying the infant Saviour across the sea and was found pasted within the cover of a Latin IIS in an old convent In Bavaria dated l i OriK in of tle Metric System Some very interesting facts have been collected about the foot the most widely used measure of length in mod ern times The measure is derived from the length of the human foot but apparently has varied more than that portion of the skeleton can possibly have done in historic times The an cient Welsh foot for Instance was nine inches long whereas the Piedmont foot was twenty inches In modern times it has varied from the Span ish foot of less than eleven inches to the Venice foot of more than thirteen inches Almost every country has used a foot measure of a different length It was this confusion which led the French to devise the metric system Han Jaipurs Grain Goluli A curious instance of

Smothered Pif There is a fish In Hawaiian waters which Is known by the native name of humuhumunukunukukuapuaa which means literally sewing up the nose The Hawaiian method of killing a pig to be roasted is to smother it not cut its throat and it Is smothered by sew ing up the pigs mouth and nose This fish with the long name has spines which in ancient times were used as needles to sew up the pigs mouth hence the name more fully means the fish that provides the needles for sew ing up the nose of the pig Wanted That Kind There arc some spectacles declar ed the lecturing arctic explorer that
