A LUCKY ESCAPE.
Quick Wit nv.1 Dnrlnff ne
of a
Iltm'ilnn Revolutionist.
Nowhere outside of tho pages of Ac
tion would we expect such an Incident
us the following from the personal
story of the Russian revolutionist Na
rodny. Narodny had Just Jumped from
a window to escape the police. "When
I scrambled to my feet I discovered
myself In the yard and among half a
dozen soldiers. I was without over
coat and hat a very suspicious figure
-and, having neither. I could not es-
cape oven could I get by tho soldiers
who mirrounucu me, ue num. i
..t. .... ....... f .
"I Jerked a card from my pocket to
this day I do not know what It was
ami handed it to one of the soldiers.
'Here Is my card,' I said rapidly. 'I
am a member of the secret police. One
of these revolutionists Is trying to es
cape. 1 am after him. Quick! Give
mo your coat and hat!'
"He automatically obeyed. I slipped
on his coat and hut and to all appear
ances wus a soldier of the czar. I
walked past the guurded gate of the
yard, out into the street. Before mo
were thousands of soldiers. I saw my
friends bclug brought down from tlio
hull and put Into the bluck vans, about
which stood guards of Cossacks. I
marched through my friends (all of
that group arc In prison today save
only myself and tho friend who es
caped with me) with the air of a sol
dier on a very Important message and
pressed on through tho mass of other
soldiers that filled tho street." Amor-
icun Magazine.
BARBER SURGEONS.
When the Itiuor mid the Scalpel
Were Linked In One Trnde.
More than -100 years old is tho ltoyul
College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. At
tho time It wus founded the surgeons
and barbers of tho city woro milted
us one of tho fourteen Incorporated
trades of Edinburgh. On July J, J.'Oo,
they received their charter from tho
town council. The charter of the bar
ber surgeons was confirmed by James
IV., an early Stuart king of great en
lightenment and accomplishment, who
took much Interest in the progress of
tho burgeons on account of tho needs
of his army In time of war.
In tho charter leave was given to the
incorporation to control the medical
cuucuiion oi tne city, sucn as it was
in those days; of bloodletting, to have
the solo right of practice and to put
down (piacks. They were to get every
year the body of a criminal who hud
boon executed to practice anatomy ou,
and they promised In return to do "suf
frage for his soul." Of tho first 158
members of the incorporation six were
surgeons to the kings of Scotland.
As society Improved and medical sci
ence developed tho gulf between the
surgeons and barbers widened, and In
1772, ns the result of a process In tho
court of sosslou, tho connection was
y terminated. Tho deacon, or
president, of tho Incorporation of sur-
geons was for more than 320 ycara"a
member of the- town council of Edin
burgh, ex officio, and several of the
deacons wore members of tho Scottish
parliament.
February I.rKrcntla.
Why February has twenty-eight days
Is explained In the legends of the past.
One is of an old woman, who, tending
her Hock, ridiculed the month of Feb
ruary because ho had deidt so lenient
ly with her and her sheep. Then Febru
ary felt Insulted and made leap year
ami borrowed a cold day from March
and froze her and her Hock. There Is a
Norman legend which makes It out
that February had originally as many
I'curuary piays lonoiis witn tne moon
and loses certain days.
Not Wholly iKiiornnt.
All applicant for a position In tho
public works department In a certain
cifv was uudcnrolni' a civil service ox-
amlnution. With a view to testing his
knowledge of history tho examining i
oillcer asked him what ho know of tho
Punic wnrs.
"Tho name sounds familiar," said the
applicant, "but I can't Just remember
when It was or where It happened."
"Don't you know anything about
Sclplo?"
"No, sir."
"Surely you have heard about Han
nibal?" "Oh, yes, I know all about nannlbal.

The "Bere" of 1542.
It Is curious to 'find In a "Dyetary"
of 1542 the Information that "here Is
made of maltc, of hopps and water. It
is a naturall drynke for a Dutcheman.
And now of late dayes It is moche used
in Englando to the detryment of many

tury rhymer says that "turkey, carps,
hops, plccadel and beer came into Eng
land all li one year," "plccadel" being
a kind of ruff or collar.
Knicllith and Scotch Precedence.
At the coronation of Charles I., the
kingdoms of England und Scotland
having been united during the reign of
his father, considerable friction took
place with regard to the order of pre
cedence of the English and Scottish
noblemen. Au arrangement satisfac
tory to all parties was finally conclud
ed, in virtue of which English peers
while In England took precedence of
Scottish peers of the same rank, while
In Scotland this order was reversed,
and the Scottish poors went first.
The Shepherd' Crook.
Although most people have seen a
I shepherd's crook, ninny do not know
the use of It. Some people think that
all the shepherd carries It for is to use
It as a walking stick when ho tramps
to and from the fold. But the crooked
end Itself serves a purpose. It enables
a shepherd to catch refractory sheep.
If a sheep shows signs of running
away tho crooked end has only to bo
placed round his leg, and he Is a cap
tive. London Standard.
