DuriDg the reign of Charles II. parliament passed an act concerning tile size of carta and wagons, with, ex tremely heavy penalties for infringe ments, but when the act came to be applied it was discovered that the mod el prescribed by It was impracticable to audi an extent that the Judges gave directions not to enforce the act.

In Euallali fhnrehes They Are Only Admitted on Snffernnce. Some one who evidently speaks from knowledge writes In the ITomiletlc Re view of "The Experiences of a Sermon Heporter." Ills remarks ou the differ ent rules in English and American newspapers on sermon reporting ami bis statement that It Is necessary to verify Scriptural texts are not without interest. . Possibly there Is a text for l sermon not preached by the preach ers in the following paragraph: Reporters are Invariably welcomed lo American churches, for American preachers seem fully a'lve to the value of the advertisement obtained through newspaper notli-es. Some preachers even maintain their own "press agent" In order to secure the utmost publicity for the occasionally brilliant ami, it may be, eccentric statements which (hey deliver. Iu English churches the reiorter is only admitted on sufferance. Under an ancient law, which bas never beeu repealed, the taking of shorthand notes of sermons Is a misdemeanor characterized as "brawling" and pun ishable by Imprisonment. In a few American churches special desks are available for reporters. They are, in any case, treated with the utmost cour tesy by the ushers nnd provided with seats Immediately below the pulpit. Ou a rare occasion In a crowded church a retorter hns been allowed to seat himself on the pulpit steps, and on one extraordinary occasion It Is re corded thnt a stenographer was con cealed within the pulpit Itself. RABBITS AS FOOD. De Snre The? Are Yoons and Then Cook Them With Onions. Conies, the parent rabbits, were long considered as Indigestible, provocative of melancholy a black meat, breeding nightmares but young rabbit have long been approved by thoughtful eat ers. They were once eaten very young, and Topsell protested quaintly against the practice of cutting them out of the mother: "I trust there Is no man among Christians so Inhumanely glut tonous as once to devise or approve the sweetness of so foul a dish." Tame conies are not so good as the wild ones, for every creature doth partake in taste ot the air wherein be llveth, and the air of the rabbit warren Is not favorable. The bare was praised extravagantly by Horace and Martial, and Apiclus gave many recipes for dressing It, but the rabbit was not much esteemed among the Greeks and Romans. To day there are many ways of cooking the latter brown or white fricassee, young rabbit In curl papers, croquettes, llllets, gelatin, gratln, rabbit pie, pud ding, soup, scallops, mince of rabbit au funiet, rabbits a la venltienne, white Bibelots, turban of Allots, kickshaws with Italian sauce, nnd. best of all- how Ihe savor arises as we write! rabbits and onions. But the rabbits must be young those whom the gods love eat them young. Boston Herald. A DOG IS ALWAYS HONEST. He t an't Growl and Wan; HI Tall at the same Time. "There Is one peculiar thing about dogs," remarked a well known local fancier and huntsman, and that Is you never saw one pant and wag his tail at the same time. A dog is not caps bie of a double emotion. He can't growl and wag his tall at the same time, for It is impossible for him to be mad nt one end and glnd at the other. "If a dog is glad to see his master he will bark and wng bis tall. If he wants to get Into the house he will paw at the door, whine and wng his tall, but they are nil symptoms of one anil the same emotion. But If his mas ter opens the door he will cense to show anxiety Immediately by whining nnd will show pleasure only by the wagging of Iris tail. "In order lo get a man's temper one must watch his eyes, but for a dog's you have to watch his tall. The dog Is likewise Incapable of deceit, and hence be Is nothing of a politician. He de ceives no one, not even his master. If he Is overjoyed every emotion Is In. (llcntive of thnt fact, and bis whole makeup gives ample testimony to It. If he Is displeased or angered it Is the same way." Houston Tost. A Donhle Presentation.
