Tho following are some of the curi ous titles of old Kngllsh hooks: "A Most Delectable Hwuot Perfumed Nosognv Kor Owl's Saints to Smell At" "lilscult Italied In tho Oven nf Char ity, Carefully Conserved For the Chick ens of tho Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit nnd the Sweet Swallows of Sal vation." "A Sigh of Sorrow Kor the Sinners of SCIon llrenthed Out of n llolo In the I Wall of on Hnrthly Vessel Known Among Men by the Name of Samuel I'lsh" (a Quaker who bad been Impris oned). "Kggs of Chnrlty I.ayed For tho Chickens of the Covenant nnd Holled With tho Water of Divine Love, 'fnkc Yo Out nnd lint." "Tho Spiritual Mustard I'ot to Mnke tho Soul Bnecxe With Devotion." Most of these were published in tho time of Cromwell. Cruel but Necetaary. The Hsklmos drosd the winter nnd tnko eorly precautious to provide ngalnst famine. As the season np prooches the great herds of reindeer migrate southward, npd the walrus or the seal ore all that remain for food. When an In wind I blowing the wal rus Is easily found on (he outer edge of the Ice packs. When It Is blowing off the shore, however, the Ice packs sail out to sen with tho wnlruses on them. Tho natives then class their numbers In n list from the strongest to the weakest Tho food that Is In store is divided up, the weakest linvlng tho smallest quantity, tho strongest tho largest. Thus tho mightiest hunters have strength to provldo for the oth ers. It Is n cruel system, but never theless n necessnry one. If nil were weak, nil would dlo; If some nro strong. they will save mitny of the weak, PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVEMENT BONDS City of St. Johns, Ore. Tht Wearing of Hate. Moro or less of n modern habit is the constant wearing of hats, ICven as Into ns 1750 Horace Vnlxlo mentions ns n matter of course that ho never wears n lint "Ilemeiuher," he says, writing to u friend notoriously enreletw about his dress, who was expected homo from Holland, "everybody that comes from abroad Is supposed to come from I'mnce, nnd whatever they wear nt their first rcnpiwarniico Immediately grows the fashion. Now If, as Is very likely, you should through Imidver tencoohnngu tints with tho master of n Dutch smack In it week's time we shall nil bo equipped ko Dutch skippers. You seo, I speak very disinterestedly, for, as I never wear n lint myself. It Is Indifferent to mo what sort of n hat I don't wear." The 8ea Lifts the Qrlndetonee. From tho bottom of the liny of Fundy como some of the finest grind stones In the world, nnd the manner In which they nro procured Is simple nnd Ingenious, the stonecutters making the exceptional tide perforin the tinniest part of tho work. When the tide Is out, which hnppciiB twice every day. tho workmen quarry tho stones from tho solid rock mid fasten them to n big llntboat. Then In comes tho tide, n mighty Hood rushing In, ns though the great ocean had suddenly changed Its mind. A wonderful sight It Is- rlslng often an high ns n house! And now tho men have nothing more to do. Tho tide lifts tho bout, mid up comes tho stono with It. Ilont nnd stone are then brought close Inshore, whero tlio stone Is removed nt leisure when the tide is out Argonaut. A Qrand Scheme. Mr. Hlgglus had u scheme for pro tectlng his I so ngalnst burglars dur ing his uhxciice from home, but In spite of that his friend Mr. Hlgglus met him recently looking very down cast. "What's wrong?" queried Mr. Hlg gins. "Oh. everything!" gnwned Mr. Hlg glus, "You remember my scheme for keeping off burglars Well, the secret of It was to leave n gfis Jet-turned on. so that any biirglnr who entered would Ih MsphyMutod by the fumes." "Didn't It work, thenl" "Oh, yes, It worked well enough-too welt. The burglar came In with n lighted match, mid we haven't been able In II ml him or tho houso since." A Fitting Reply. Major I.oiiinx of the United States army was visiting In Canada soon after the war nf 1812. Ho was enter tallied In Quebec by the olllccrs of one of the royal regiments, After dinner. speeches and tonsts Mug In order. oiio of tho llrltlsh olllcers, having Im bibed too generously of the champagne. gave its n toast. "The President of the United States. Dead or Allvel" The toast was accepted with laughter. Major I.oumx rose to respond, say lug, "Permit me to give as my toast. Tho Prince llegent, Drunk or Soberl' ' The llrltlsh oltlcer sprung Instantly to his feet and In angry tones dt maiided, "Sir, do you Intend that re mark as mi Insult V To which Major I,oiwu calmly an swered, "No, sirs n the reply to one." The Privilege of Peers, There Is u curious ease In Fortes- cue's "reports" relating In the privilege of peers, In which the bailiff who many jenrs ago urrested a lonl was forced by the court to kneel down mid ask tils imrdon, though lie alleged that he bad acted by mistake, for that his lordship had n dirty shirt, a wornout suit of clothe wild only sixpence In Ills pocket, so tlmt he could luit be lieve Hint ho whs h KNr mid urrested him through lusdverlont'o.-(lreou.I)ug. Don't Qet Up In a Hurry, Don t Jump up the lirst thing your eyes ore open. Komcmhcr that while you sleep the tltul organs lire nt rest Tho vitality Is lowered mid the clrcu latlon not so strong. A sudden spring out of bed Is n shock to these orpins, enpeolally to tlm heart. as It starts pumping the blood sudden ly. Don't be in such n hurry- Stretch mid yawn mid yawn mid stretch Stretch the arms mid legs, stretch the whole body. A good yawn and stretch arobetturuven tlmnn cold bath Take time.

A writer In mi Itngllsh paper has this to sny regarding the game of golf: "Uolf Is a great game, but shiver me niblicks If I think It comes up to tld dledy winks.
