In a Utile town or village In Glouces tershire there Is a church which contains the mortal remains of one of the old crusaders In molderlng ef figy he Is depicted on the tomb while by his side In cold eloquence is Imaged the form of Js wife It will be noticed by even UJ casual observer that the female ImaLtis bereft of one of the hands and the story runs that the crusader while fighting In the east was made a prisoner of war and brought before Saladln who before executing judgment upon him asked him if there was any reason why he should not be put to death To this the knight replied that he was but young and would leave a newly wed ded wife who would bitterly mourn his loss The love of woman Is as a fleeting breath retorted the sultan Your wife will forget that you have ever lived she will love again and marry another To this the sad knight could only reply that on her fidelity ho could rest his soul Well then replied Saladln I will promise on my oath as a soldier that If this mans wife will cut off one of her hands and send it to me I will set him free to go to her By tedious and slow jour neyings the message came and she iu all piteousness for him who was her lover and her lord caused her hand to be cut off and sent it to the sultan who kept his word and set the cru sader free London Notes and Que ries RISE OF DIALECT Source of the Expressions Stig Mm and Sick Em When a boy in some parts of New England has occasion to set his dog upon any one or anything he exclaims as a rule Stig im Stig im The New York boy or the boy of the west generally says Sick em Sick em To the western boy the command Stig Im sounds absurd it provokes his laughter But his own command Is equally amusing to the New England boy This little difference illustrates the beginning of local dialect Probably neither boy thinks of the exact mean ing of what he says He is merely repeating words he has heard others use which he is sure from their fre quent repetition that the dog will un derstand The boy who says Sick em Is re peating a corruption only one degree removed of the words Seek him which are a very old command Stig im is a corruption one degree further removed from its original than Sick em It began with Take him which was varied by the use of so before it So take him Prom this to S take him was an easy step and the more easily pronounced Stig im was the next corruption Boston

Post Chance When you talk of chance you are only confessing ignorance The very spin of the coin is governed by the nerve muscle or manipulation of the thumb and brain that spin it The only chance about it is your ignorance of the forces that lift twist and catch the coin If you could calculate the physical and mental forces between the halfpennys leap and return you might buy the world But you cant And its just that bit of blindness that we have to call chance London Chronicle Chinese and Europeans Europe knew next to nothing of China or its people prior to the con quests of the famous Genghis Khan The commotion raised by that monster made Europeans somewhat acquainted with Far Cathay as China was then railed It was about the year 1300 or rc illy a tril e earlier that the iir t

children to whom the holidays usually are days of toil and many of these little folks are breadwinners for youuger broth ers and sisters It was for them that the late Tony Pastor and his wife Mrs E L Fernandez and Aunt Louisa Eldridge now dead inaugu rated the Christmas festival which has become a perennial affair The little ones all less than twelve years old provide the stage entertain ment on these occasions and there never is any Interference by the au thorities Christmas 1907 was Tony Pastors last appearance as the chil drens Santa Claus and this year they will miss his genial face and kindly at tentions Last year he was master of ceremonies and Introduced his tiny top liners At the end of the act he presented to each of the girls a beau tifully dressed doll and to the boys boxes of candy or appropriate toys Admission was by invitation only and when the programme began the house was crowded to the doors the balcony being given up largely to poor children of the east side Some of the actors were mere babies but they went through the business like veterans and the gravity of most of them when singing their comic songs was immensely amusing One of the players was presented as Baby Esmond a perfect cherub who piped a love ditty and danced with one foot held in the air Mr Pastor said she was of this years crop and when she had ended the performance he asked her to tell the audience her age Without shrinking from the ques tion as her fellow actresses do she lisped Ill be four next January Another of the same mature years was Miss Miriam Jackson If you please She came out with a Teddy bear in her arms sang a song and did such clever capering that every wo man in the audience wanted to hug her Lillian Tobin herself no bigger than a doll baby sang Poor John and in vited the audience to join her in the chorus which it did with a will At the end of the programme Mr Pastor announced that a banquet was await ing the children iu the basement of Tammany hall After the little ones had been satis fied in that respect they were sent up to the main hall of the building and there the really big feature of the evening took place On the stage stood three Christmas trees bending over from the weight of pretty things while the stage itself was heaped with toys After that there was a second dis tribution for stage children only in tho committee room of Tammany hall Most of the children had written re quests for certain articles and as they appeared one by one and gave a name corresponding with that on Mrs Fer nandezs list ie present asked for was delivered Some of these were of costly quality having been purchased with money donated to the cause Mrs Fernandez said the children of the stage nowadays ask for useful things rather than for playthings Since these events were inaugurated it is estimated that more than 50000 has been spent for gifts New York Herald Overtime Look here said the office boy I think the boss ought to gimme a bit extra this week but I

never to bo any railways ou this continent It would have been an impertinence for Columbus to have discovered It Only by the railways could its magnificent distances be bridged Equally correct was Charles Carroll of Carrollton tho last survivor of the signers of the Dec laration of Independence when on throwing up the first shovelful of earth for the first railway of the Unit ed States which was intended to carry j passengers and freight the Baltimore and Ohio he exclaimed I consider this event second only to that of the adoption of the Declaration of Inde pendence if second even to that That was In 1S28 But England was far ahead of us in railway building In the beginning Even Russia got a bet ter start than we did At the outset we imported not only our locomotives and cars but also the rails on which they were run and the men to run them Dlowever John Stevens Peter Cooper Evan Thomas Matthias Bald win and others changed all this and In their various fields laid the founda tions of a railway system which is to day In dimensions and completeness far ahead of that of any other half n dozen countries in the world combined Leslies Weekly The Franz Hals Museum In Holland Old Ilaarlem calls up the shadow of Franz Hals The museum Is verily a sanctuary to his memory There the famous corporation pictures hang One sees the members of the various guilds in the fullness of careless life eating drinking and merrymaking Here Hals Is seen at the height of his power The splendid color and directness of work are a revelation Every figure seems alive and one Is convinced they were all in the flesh once This great mas ter with one bold stroke of his brush made these men immortal At eighty years he still painted and his last pic ture hangs beside his masterpieces Haarlem and Hals will be associated as long as the place lasts One mar vels at the execution of the Dutch painters whether it be in the broad work of nals or in the miniature finish of the genre masters All of them had a splendid sense of values atmosphere and human life a perfect harmony of relation fills their canvases Spring field Mass Republican Unconquerable It was a veteran soldiery that re peopled the plantations and the home steads of the south writes Thomas Nelson Tage in the Old Dominion and withstood the forces thrown against them during the period of reconstruc tion In addition to personal pride self reliance and physical courage they possessed also race pride which is inestimable in a great popular strug gle However beaten and broken they were the people came out of the war with their spirit unquenched and a be lief that they were unconquerable A story used to be told of an old Confederate soldier who was trudging home after the war broken and rag ged and worn lie was asked what he would do if the Yankees got after him when he reached home Oh they aint goin to trouble me he said If they do Ill just whip em again Cold and a Candle Dr Moss of tho English polar expe dition of 1S75 and 1870 among other odd things tells of the effect of cold on a wax caudle which he burned The temperature was 35 degrees below zero and the doctor must have been considerably discouraged when upon looking at his candle he discovered that the flame had all it could do to keep warm It was so cold that the flame could not melt all the wax of the candle but was forced to eat its way down the candle leaving a sort of skeleton of the candle standing There was heat enough however to melt oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of wax and the result was a beautiful lacelike cylinder of white with a tongue of yellow flame burning inside of it and sending out into the dark ness many streaks of light Siege of Crete Crete can claim to have been the scene of one of the longest sieges on record longer than the siege of Troy for in the seventeenth century it took the Turks more than twenty years to capture its capital city The island in fact is famous for protracted military operations for though the revolution of 1821 was speedily successful in the open country the fortified towns were still uncaplured when the powers in tervened in 1S30 Awkward For the Aeronaut An element of humor
