A Great Assistance.
"Good morning:" greeted tbe young
maa la tne threadbare suit.
Tbe millionaire turned around In Ma
plusb chair. .. ' -
Er I think you have the advantage
of me. young man." he said distantly.
"Why. don't you remember me. sir?
I am broke. . Two years ago you told
me If l ever went broke to come
around and see you."
Tbe millionaire beamed a benevolent
smile. -
"So I did. my son; so 1 did. Here is
the envelope all ready for you."
Tbe young man took the bulky en
velope, and his spirits rose like the
mercury on a July day.
"Ah, a little assistance. I suppose?'
"No; a great assistance. It Is a valu
able little pamphlet 1 wrote during my
spare time entitled 'How to Be Broke
and Happy.' "-Chicago News. .
Persian Shawl. ' '.'
The "snal" ot Kerman whence our
word "shawl" is made of goats' hair.
Like the carpets, the shawl patterns
are learned by heart, and tbe work Is
even finer. Children also do this work.
It Is estimated that Kerman turns out
$300,000 worth of shawls, handmade.
a year. The Hnst product Is a flr cone

v He Got Her. ,
"It's so long since you called upon
me." Bald the girl as she came down
to the young man in the parlor, "that
1 was beginning to think you were for
getting me." ---
"1 am for getting you." replied the
mart youth, "and that's why I've
called tonight. Can 1 have you?"
Handed It Back.
A clergyman In the neighborhood of
Nottingham was complimenting a tai
lor in his parish on repairs which he
had done for him. . In 'the course of
conversation he. however. Incautiously
observed: , "When I want a good coat
I go to London. They make them
there." Before leaving tbe shop he
inquired. "By the bye. do you attend
my church?" ; '
"No." was the reply. "When I want
to hear a good sermon I go to Lon
don. They make thum there." Lon

OLD Tir.'E HAT STAMPS.
Death Used to Be the Penalty In Eng.
land For Forging Them.
Ilats have In Eugland been subject
to very severe protective enactments.
The blocked beaver bat. for Instance,
imported by Sir Walter Ralelgb from
tbe Low Countries, won its way so !
rapidly that In 1571 Queen Elizabeth J
passed an act to protect the making:
of "thrummed" caps, made from wool.
for the advantage of the landed pro
prietors, whose sheep furnished the
material. Tbe statute provided that
every male person "shall on Sundays
and holidays wear on his bead a cap
of velvet wool made in England, pen
alty, 3s. Cd. per day.
About a century later tbe law, for
which there is nothing too high or too
low. having taxed men's shoes, turned
its attention once more to their bats
and soon put n check on all Improve
ments In the trade by requiring every
vender of hats to take out a license
under a heavy penalty. Subsequently
a stamp duty was Imposed on all bats,
which were officially marked Inside
where the maker's name now appears.
The penalty for selling a hat without
a stamp was 10, and the penalty for
forging a hat stamp was death,
whence, no doubt, tbe modern custom
of the man who cops to church, sits

An English Sanctuary.
Beverley iniuster. ISO mile north of
London, is the shrine of St. John of
Beverley, who died In tbe year 721. In
938 Athelstan. king of England, gave
several 'privileges to the monastery
one brine the privilege of sanctuary,
This was not merely for man staying
it was open to all wrongdoers except
those who had been guilty of treason.
For ordinary offenses, such as horse
stealing, cattle stealing, being back
ward In accounts or being in receipt of
suspected goods, : a man came Into
sanctuary about a mile from tbe mon
astery or church. There used to be
four" crosses on the main roads leading
to Beverley marking the limit of the
area. In cases of manslaughter and
murder It was not sufficient to be with
in one of these crosses. Before the
fugitive could claim sanctuary he must
enter the church and seat himself In
a stone chair known as the "frld
stool", or "freed chair." To this place
many fled for refuge from all parts of
the country, v

The worshipers In a certain chapel
had' some trouble, to keep their faces
straight a short time ago. During tbe
service some commotion was caused
by a gentleman who accidentally ig
nited a box of wax matches in his
pocket and was trying to put them
out. while his alarmed neighbors strug
gled equally hard to help him. The
minister, being shortsighted, could not
make out tbe reason of the disturb
ance, and. thinking to diplomatically
cover the Incident, he Innocently said
"Brethren, there Is a little noise go
