lips, Ib hardly tenable, slnco tbq fact
Is not mentioned In tho lltllo volume
of memoirs published by htm In 1G9I.
If Phillips bad taken down tho poem
lino by lino ho would probably havo
claimed tho credit for It, as well ns
for suggesting alterations where tho
verses needed mending. While the
identity of the amanuensis Is a mys
tery, it cannot bo doubted that this Is
tho original copy filed at Statlouers'
Hall in 1G67, and assigned to Samuel
Simmons (br Symonds) "In consider
ation of tho sum of 6 In hand paid."
Anothor payment of 5 was made for
a second edition, and Milton's widow
assigned all hor rights after his death
for an additional sum of 8. Tho
copyright was sold by tho printer to
Brabazon Aylmor, a bookseller, who
subsequently transferred It to Jncob
Tonson, and throo generations of
Tonsons printed numerous editions of
"Paradlso Lost," and were enabled by
profits In trado to buy an estate In
Hertfordshire. Tho manuscript was
preserved In tho Tonson family as
tho proof of their right to publish as
many editions of tho poem as they
pleased, and it is now in the posses
sion of William Robert Baker, a great-
grandson of Mary Tonson.
The Scotch Sabbath.
Tho earl of Abetdeon recently had
a practical ospcrlonco of tho grim
observance of the Sabbath In Scot
land. Ho arrived In Edinburgh from
London at 7:30 In tho morning. There
was not n single public conveyance in
the station, and, leaving his valet In
charge of tho lurcgago, his lordship
wauderod out In tho raw, cold weath
er, and walkod along Princes street
In search of a cab, but to his dismay
every cabman was keeping tho Sab
bath. Afterwards his lordship mot a
milkman, delivering milk in a side
street. A bargain was struck, his
lordship got into tho milk van, wan
driven back to tho station, where his
luggage was put into the vehicle, and
thon ho rodo in triumph to his club.
A Few Left.
After tho Hon. Cavo Johnson had
served his long and brilliant career in
Congress and had retired to tho quiet
of prlvato life, ho onco stepped Into
the office of his nephew, Robert John
eon, then a young lawyer of much
promlso, and finding tho young man
engaged In writing with a gold pen
had occasion to remark upon tho ex
travagance of the rising generation.
"Why is It," he asked, "that every
young man now has his gold pen,
while those of my day were content
to use their goose-qullls?"
"I suppose" replied Robert, in tho
most Innocent manner possible, "it Is
because there were mors geeso when
you were a young man."

Sad News for Gum Chewers.
The saddest news that bus como out
of Maine In a long time Is that the
spruce gum crop Is short. This means
that chewing gum will cost more this
year, or gum chewers will got less for
their money. Most of the gum put up
by tho great chewing gum concerns
comes from the spruce trees of Maine,
and tho shortness of the crop there
fore is of direct interest to every
messenger boy, typewriter girl, sales
woman and cash girl who has the
gum-chewing habit.
Underground Policemen.
Since the opening of tho London
"Twopenny Tube" there are in the
city police forco some constables who
have to perform the whole of their
duties uuderground. Their duty Is to
patrol the footways and staircases of
the Bank station to prevent any
breach of tho peace, Just as constables
In tho ordinary way patrol the Btreets
above. They go on duty and are re
lieved at the same hours as their
brother officers.
Makes Railway Record.
Tho London & Northwestern rail
way company has established a record
railway run. The American boat ex
press, which usually runs from Liver
pool to Easton without stop, was pull
ed up at Crewe. The Journey from
Crewe to London, 158 miles, was
done in exactly as many minutes, not
withstanding that on two occasions
peed was reduced to almost walking
oace.

It happened tbr.t on one particular
Sunday bo bad no new discourse pre

"It chanced, however, that when ho

In tho front row. A delegation had
come to hear him again, Intending, If
he pleased them, to offer him tho
Incumbency of their church.
"What wan he to do? Ho suspected
the cause of the delegation's visit, and
ho wanted to please them mightily.
An inspiration came to him, and,
frowning down upon his hearers, ho
began:
"'Denr Friends: 1 havo been much
pained by a roport that has reached

First Aid for Injured Animals,
A West Philadelphia physician
writing an Interesting and valuable
little book that he Intends to call
"First Aid to Injured Animals." The
book deals with the treatment of
tho common accldonts that happen to
dogs, cats and horses. It shows how
50 per cent of tho deaths that occur
amt-ig domestic nnlmnls nro due to
tho mistaken treatment that these an
imals receive In the Interim between
their falling ill and the veterinary
Burgeon's arrival. Tho physician said:
"Tako the case of a valuable dog, for i
instance. Dogs frequently choke1; A
bone, a nail or a piece of tin gets
In their throat and there is great !
dangor of their dying before the sur
geon comes. Many of them do die,
but there 1b no reason for this. For
It is easy, without the slightest dan
gor of being bitten, to put the hand
.. the mouth of a dog and to draw
out or push down tho obstruction that
Is killing him. A bandage a hand
kerchief or a towel will do is passed
between tho teeth and over the upper
Jaw, and in a similar way another
bandage Is passed between the teeth
and over tho under Jaw. One per
son holding the ends of two bandages
keeps the dog's mouth wide open; a
second person ran thon, with per
fect eoao and safety, put his fingers
down the animal's throat and relieve
him. There are a hundred emergen
cies like this one just as dangerous
and just as easily treated. In my book
It is my purpose to describe all those
emergencies and thus I hopo to savo
many animals' lives."
The "Coup de Monaerrat."
The fatal Issue of a recent French
duel cauwss discussion of what tho
Parisian fencers call the "Coup do
Monsorrat" The history of this stroke
'. romantic. The hero of tho story
wa.t a young Parisian musician en
gaged to be married to a young lady
of Bo.'('-""ix. Quarrelling with a cousin
of his f.ancee, he got his ears boxed
at the Bordeaux Club. Ignorant of
fencing, he dared not resent tho In
sult, and renounced his engagement,
tlut he also took fencing lossons from
one Monsorrat, a maltre d'armes of
Toulouse. Monaerrat taught hlra ono
trick only, and he practiced It for a
year. At the end of that time ho re
turned to the Bordeaux Club, slapped
his man's face, and, bolng called out,
Instantly ran his opponont through
the body with his cunning lunge.

Laziness of Great Men.
If early rising wore a condition of

low men.
Supplants American Cheese.
Canadian cheese Is bolng substitut

worn - out rubber made new.
Modern Inventions Permit Rejuvena
tion of Valuable Product.
Worn-out rubbcv, llko worn-out sil
ver, Is 8omctbirg that docs not exist
In these days. Eer since tho ndvont
of bicycles ard automobiles, both of
which draw heaxlly on the world's
rubber supply, and ever since the hun
dred and ono UEes to which rubber Is
put In connection with electricity, tho
material has become more and more
scarce and valuable, so that even tho
old rubber shoe and the worn-out rub-
, her boot may thtow out their chests In
pride at being worth really something.
Nothing containing rubber Is discard
ed nowadays. The old rubber coat
over which the spring tires of a motor
car may run on a country road today
may some day find a resting placo In
tho soft tresses of a woman's hair af-
' tor having been transformed Into a
handsome comb.
Even vulcanized rubber, which, ow
ing to the Bulphurlc process to which
It was subjected, was formc'rly value
less, Is now subjected to a process
1 which rejuvenates it and makes It fit
to be worked up again for tho pur
poses of the manufacturer. Immense
quantities 0f this product, which for-
erly was assigned to a rubbish heap,
are now treated and admixed with a
certain percentage of new gum, enough
to cheapen the price 'of most rubber
goods turned out by the manufactur
ers to-day. Old rubber, howt..i, can
be used by itself without any addition
of fresh gum, the process of treatment
being a siniplcono. Answers.
THEN WAS THE TIME.
Southerner's Peculiar Plea for
Pro-
motion of Harmony.
Dr. G. Watson James, for many
years on tho editorial staff of tho
old Richmond Dispatch, now out of
existence, tells this story to show
! how gentle and sweet was the feeling
between the Methodists North and
1 the Methodists South right after tho
war.
' It was a raw and wot day when
l the doctor took a Mississippi steamer
at New Orleans. He was accompanied
by a Virginia Methodist. On board
I was a party of about 200 Northern
Methodists who had been to somo
Important conference away from
home.
Tho Northern Methodists hugged
the warm sides of tho groat exposed
boilers of the steamer.
Another steamer camo up astern,
and a race was started. The doctor's
craft was losing by Inches, and the
captain had tho furnaces roaring and
full head of steam on.
When an explosion seemed to havo
been overdue a half hour, tho South
ern Methodist went out Into the cold
and drizzlo and raising his hands
toward the gray sky uttered this in
vocation :
"O Lawd! Far bo it from mo, yo'
'umblo servant, to wish any of Yo'
people harm, but If Yo are still In tho
bller bustln' business, now's Yo'
chance." New York Times.
To the Man Who Tried.
Not nil of life It Is to win:
True hearts respect the man
Who lifts his banner and goes In
To do the best he can.
Three times. Sir Thomas, you have
sought
To lift the trophy up,
But nil the Shamrocks that you brought
Have failed to win the Cup.
Bo gallantly you led the fight,
80 true your pluck nnJ pride.
We claim with heartiness the right
To praise the Man whe Tried.
Tho world '.tat smiled on you, Sir Tom,
And may It while you live:
Forgive us If we keep yon from
The Cup v,e could not give.
How better far than rank or fame
It Is to be content
To take with gratitude, not blame.
The goods the gods have sent.
So now. Sir Tom. restrain your tears.
Nor rail against the Fates:
Content you with the Cup that Cheers
And not Inebriates.

Dangerous Exuberance.
A quaint and most disagreeable de
tail of Lord Curzon's recent visit to
Koweit was tho constant fusillade of
ball cartridge kept up by his native
escort. It does not appear that any
body, strange to relate, was hurt by
the bullets, which must have been
dropping all about In the surrounding
country; but it is quito common in
that part of the world for bystanders
to bo Injured by these peculiar dem
onstrations of enthusiasm. Blank
cartridge does not satisfy the feelings
of these races when they are excited;
they must, apparently, have the sen
Eatlon of danger as well, fhe pure
negro, on the other hand, even tho
Duhoman and the Fan, is quito happy
so long as he may make a satisfac
tory noise. Montreal Herald.
