Hadn't Killed Him.
There Is a certain young man who ;
used to be notoriously egotistic. Some 1
of his acquaintances were one day !
speaking of him before an old lady who 1
was not "up" in the slang expressions j
of the day. I
The next time she met him on the j
street she put out a congratulatory
band. I
"Oh. Mr. Smith," she cried, "I am j
so glad you are better. I beard last
week that you bad a swelled head."

Casual Sympathy.
"Your daughter told me to come and
ask your consent to our murriage,"
said the nervous young man.
"She did!" responded Mr. Cutnroz.
"And you came hustling right along,

me In a bad humor. And you kuew
also that so long as Gladys and her
ma had made up their minds my con

Reminders of Nelson.
British sailors have on their uniforms
perpetual reminders of the navy's glo
rious past, though not every one who
wears them knows that the three rows
of wide tape around the edging of the
blue collar and the black silk scarf
knotted in front are links with Nelson,
The white tapes commemorate Nelson's
famous victories Copenhagen, the Nile
and Trafalgar and the scarf is a to
ken of perpetual mourning for the
greut admiral, adopted by the seamen
themselves and retained ever since.

Aim of the Holy Alliance.
The Holy Alliance was a league creat
ed by Emperor Alexander 1. of Russia,
lifter the defeat of Napoleon at Water
loo, for the preservation of peace in
Europe. Russia and Germany were
enthusiastic about this compact, but
Great Britain condemned it, so the
death of Alexander and the French
revolt of 1848 broke up the Holy Ai
llance. One of the ambitions of this
alliance was to extend the monarchi
cal system to America, but the Monroe
doctrine silenced this.
Monster Insects.
The largest Insects in the world are
described by 0. W. Barrett In the Phil
ippine Agricultural Review. The lar
gest known winged orthopteru Is n
species of ptiasnild, or walking stick,
discovered In Nyassaland. Its body Is
ten and one-third Inches long. Borneo
boasts a wingless phasmkl thirteen
Inches long This Is the largest living
Insect, but was surpassed by a dragou
flyllke Insect with wing expanse if
twenty-Ore Inches and a body fourteen
Inches long, which flourished In France
in the carboniferous period.
Nearly Precedent.
While there bns never been an in
stance in which the president and the

ENVY.
We often make parade of pas
ions, but envy is mo, timid
and iliimeful paision which we
never dare to acknowledge. Jeal
osy is in some measure just and
reaioiiable, since k tends only to
retain a good which belongs to in,
whereas envy is a fury which can
not endure the good of others,
