' The First Henchmen. I
Skeat derives the word henchman J
from hengstman (Anglo-Saxon), horse
man, groom. It Is probnblo that hench
men were in the first Instance young
nobles who at state ceremonies attend-'
ed on the king as mounted pages. His
tory speaks of these henchmen In this
capacity, for we" read that Henry VI.
had three and Edward IV. six of them.
We find, too. that they weref'eution
ed In the royal ceremonies oajeloug
iug "to the riding household" and took
part in tournaments. The last time
"henchman"' is mentioned In connec
tion with the court is in the reign ots
Henry VIII., and gradually " came to
mean an ordinary page. The word Is
used by lieu Jonsou and Shakespeare
in this sense.

The Witness Proved to the Lawyer,
That He Could Remember.
A story Is told of an eminent lawyer
receiving a severe reprimand from a
witness whom be was trying to brow
beat. It was an Important Issue, and
In order to save his cnuse from defeat
It was necessary that the lawyer should
Impeach the witness. ' He endeavored
to do It on the ground of age in the
following manner: .
"How old are you?" asked the law
yer. "Seventy-two years," replied the wit
ness. "Your memory, of course, Is not so
brilliant and vivid as It was twenty
years ago, Is it?" asked the lawyer.
"I do not know but It is," answered
the witness. . ' ,.
"State some circumstance -which oc
curred, say, twelve years ago," said
the lawyer, "and we shnll be nble to
see how well you can remember."
"I appeal to your honor," said the
witness, "If I am to be Interrogated in
this manner. It is insolent!"
"You had better a,nswer the ques
tion," replied the judge. '
"Yes, sir; state it," said the lawyer.
"Well, sir, if you compel me to do it
I will. About twelve years ago you
studied In Judge 's office, did you
not?"
"Tes," answered the lawyer.
"Well, sir. I remember your father
coming into my office and saying to
me, 'Mr. D., my son is to be examined
tomorrow, and I wish you would lend
me $15 to buy him a suit of clothes.'
I remember also, sir, that from thnt
day to this he has never paid me that
sum. That, sir, I remember as though
it were yesterday." ,
Hot In Summsr and Seldom Really

think, of electric funs, and In cold
weather he shrugs his shoulders and
endures the cold. But his house Is sel
dom really warm; The Englishman
litis never taken to his bosom the
question of cold. The fireplace, is an
L absurdity. It warms but a section of
the room, and lew enn ulrora to warm
a whole bouse with fireplaces in every

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu found

bio (In December) without furs and
stoves, And she is surprised nt "pur
obstinacy In shaking with cold six
months In the year rather than make
use of stoves, which are certulnly one
of the greatest conveniences of life."
So far from spoiling a room, they add
to the magnificence of it as shaped in
Vienna and Dresden, says Lady Mary.
She threatened that on her return there
would be a stove in her chamber; but,
while the Berliner ofen is still the
warmer of the homes across the chan

It Scared the Mathematician, but the
Women Solved It.
One day a teacher of mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He tag
ged along listlessly from counter'-to
counter until they came to the dress
trimmings department, nud there lie
found something in his line. Said bis
wife to the saleswoman:
"How wide is- that gold spangled
black crape?"
"Three-eighths of a yard," said the
girl.
"How much is it a yard?"
"Three dollars."
, "Well," said the professor's wife,
"how much of three-eighths wide ma
terial will It take to put four six-inch
strips around a two and three-quarter
yard skirt that is seven Inches nar
rower at the knees than it is at the
bottom, and how much will It cost?"
At the first mention of those figures
the professor's head began to reel, and
it reeled still more when his wife and
the girl got out pencils and paper and
began to do their sum. Presently his
wife said:
"Here, dear; you know nil about
mathematics. Help us solve this prob
lem, won't you?"
But the professor said: "Excuse me;
I feel faint; I. must get a little fresh
air," and ignomlnously tied.
His wife came home with exactly
the amount of material required, nnd
the professor took her word for it thnt
she didn't pay a cent too much.-r-Phlla-dolphin

They Grow Twenty Feet High and Are
Armed With Great Thome.
. Throughout the older parts of Mexl
co, Texas and New Mexico many of
the fences around the corrals and of
ten the gardens are made of "ocattlla."
This Is a cactus-like plant growing In
a stalk form and often reaching a
height of twenty or tweuty-flve feet.
It is completely covered with long,
stout thorns.
The stalk is tough,' hard to cut, al
most Impossible to break, and, grow
ing to the height It does. It makes nu
effective protection. It is planted usu
ally in three or four alternate rows
nnd Is held together by buckskin
strings, or with strong wire. It needs
but little water.
I believe this ocatllla fence would be
found very satisfactory 'to use on
country estates, and even the owner
of a modest plot of ground would find
It a good thing. It prevents stock
from breaking in, effectively keeps at
a distance all marauders nud when in
bloom is' a beautiful sight, for nt the
tip of the stalk there comes early in
summer a cluster of deep crimson, bull
shaped blossoms. I remember once
the astonished, almost horrified, ex
pression of an eastern woman to whom
I mentioned the beauty of the corral
fence when in bloom. Country Life In

Push Out the Chest.
Look nt your figure In the next full
length mirror you see, says the Wom
an's World. Nine chances out of ten
your chest curves. .'in, your shoulders
round like a bow, your stomach pro
trudes, nnd your chin is thrust for
ward like a prizefighter's. Now make
an experiment. : Take n long breath,
push your chest out and hold it to that
position.- Behold n miracle! Your
shoulders straighten till your back is
like a line, your stomach retreats, and
your chin assumes a position of mod
est dignity.- Now you are standing
correctly, and If you place any value at
all upqn a good appearance you must
prnctico this position until It' becomes
second nature. Remember that the
grand secret is, "Push out the chest."
The rest of the figure will take care
