queen or the kings mistress Segar

iCD 17J4 garter king of arms who
published several heraldic works ridi
cules the whole story lie confesses
that an author of Henry VIs time
who wrote in Latin and whose work is
now entirely lost upheld it
Raphael Holiushcd a chronicler who
died in 110 tells the story in detail
aud says the lady was tho queen which
surely rather spoils the significance of
the legend Sir Harris Nicolas him
self thinks the story is not improbable
although he urges the fact that Jean
Froissart who is the best contempo
rary authority on the reign of Edward
III while he has much to say about
tho order in his hundredth chapter
does not refer to it and Nicholas ad
mits that this tells very much against
the supposed origin of the story but
Froissart may have thou lit the matter
too trivial to relate By the way I feel
very much aggrieved that G C Macau
lay in the abridged volume of Froissart
that he published through the Macmil
lais should have ruthlessly cut this
hundredth chapter
It is not I may add claimed that the
incident caused the foundation of the
Order of the Garter but only that it
gave Edward III the idea for naming
the order which he had resolved to
found in any case In the absence of
any other solution than that which
rests on these shadowy foundations I
think we may still go on accepting the
pretty legend but I repeat my expres
sion of dissatisfaction with the popular
histories that they should leave such
matters as this severely alone Lon

One of the Wonder o Fliystes
Aii experienced mechanic who was
asked what he regarded as- the most
wonderful thing for general utility re
plied The tracking of a car wheel is
the most wonderful thing to me in the
whole ranee of science and invention
Her e are two rails uphill and down
hill round the sharp curves and along
false tuuwirs and upon them fly at
more than a mile a minute without yir
or jostle a dozen heavy cars drawn by
an engine weighing sixty tons Passen
gers realize no danger yet there is
only the little flange of a wheel be
tween them and eternity An inch and
a half of steel turned up on the inner
side of the wlnel holds up the whole
train as securely to the rails as if it
were bolted there in grooves
Hhle Yoisr Fruit Trees
As lawn specimens fruit trees are
nearly always disappointing They
have more insect enemies and fungous
diseases than first class ornamental
trees aud shrubs If you spray them
they are unsightly if you do not your
lawn is covered with wormy fruits
which look bad and smell worse The
peach is a short lived delicate tree
which is particularly subject to San
Jose scale Plums and cherries are
sure to yield wormy fruit unless you
juv the curculios out of them long be
fore breakfast or unless you let the
chickens run beneath the trees Both
are violent suppositions for a home

There Were Too Many
Robinsons to Suit Him
FT AXSAS is all right as si state
K none better said the Chicago
drummer but there are cer
tain neighborhoods one has to get ac
quainted with before things can run
along smoothly For instance on my
last trip I struck a town called Itobhi
Gonville A street car drawn by a mule
ran from the station to the town The
fare was 7 cents 1 kicked and had a
row with the conductor When I got
uptown the landlord of the only hotel
refused to receive me as a guest
Whats the row I asked
You sassed the conductor of the
street car
Well what of It
We are both named Robinson and
related
I went out to a restaurant but that
was run by a Robinson and I could
get nothing to eat There were three
merchants in the town and they want
ed my goods but they were named
Robinson and refused to buy When
I wanted to get back to the depot I
could hire no boy to carry my grips
Too much Robinson I was making for
the train and carrying my luggage
when I met a smiling man and stopped
to say tohini
You dont look like a Robinson
Well no Im not he replied
Then 1 want you to listen while I
cuss the whole caboodle of them I
never saw such a blamed town in my
life Why sir
Please dont he Interrupted
But why
Because Im Jones the only Jones
in town and if the Robinsons heard
that I was agin em theyd put the
price of kerosene up to oO cents and
butter to HO cents and the only Jones
would have to eat dry bread and sit in
darkness Ten or fifteen years hence

Tlie Green Firecracker That Used
to Be
Oh brother in the days of old the palmy
days of yore
When we had fifteen cents to spend at
Henry Tiltons store
To celebrate the gloried Fourth we al
ways hurried back
With three large cracker bunches that
were straight five cents a pack
They came from China and right in the
midst of them was seen
One wonderful firecracker that was wrap
ped in palest green
And you remember brother how we fired
them one by one
Made fizzers of the ones that failed to
go off like a gun
And doled them out in miser bits for then
we mubt laKe care
To keep our fun a going till the evening
on the square
When there would be skyrockets and red-
fire and all the rest
We always kept the green one as the last
one and the beat
Ho nowadays they shoot the things a
thousand at a time
And we might buy a dozen packs they
tell me for a dime
Tit none of all the modern ones can boom
with half the joy
Of those that came from China for the
wonder of each boy
And fizzed and spat and sputtered till our
fingers were all blacked
And then the wondrous green one You
remember how It cracked

Time is n perennially interesting sub

As most persons know England sup
plies the world with that valuable but
impalpable commodity that purely ar
bitrary thing which we call time The
meridian of the Royal observatory at
Greenwich is the point from which the
day of the civilized world is reckoned
but in America the United States Naval
observatory in Washington determiius
Greenwich time and distributes it by
telegraph
In the end the watch of the man In
the street is set by the stars Out of

are some 1500 visible either to the eye
or the camera which are known to be
practically invariable The astronomer
selects one of them Through the
transit instrument a telescope pointed
at the meridian he watches telegraph

telescope are eleven hair lines The
center one marks the meridian As the
star crosses each of these lines the

Modern cities are not as noisy as
those of other days For example in
London in the time of King George II
the streets were still cobbled and the

been replaced by heavy carts and wag

were dragged about on drays of iron
without wheels and to add to the tu
mult heav signs in immense frames
of ironwork hung out in front of shops
and houses and croaked interminably
Street cries never ceased for a moment
all day All the smaller necessaries
such as pins thread string ink strap
fish milk cakes bread drugs herbs
matches were hawked in the streets
