A Curious Kamo Combination.
"W hat is in a name ?” has been a
question sufficiently unanswered to
•till remain a subject for discussion,
but what is in two names should
hare a double interest. If you don’t
think to, take two names as well
known as any . in American history
and look at them. They are the
names o f Lincoln and Hamlin. Of
course there is nothing peculiar
about them as they stand, but set
them differently and observe the re
sult. For an instance, place them
this wise:

Curious Old Story That Is Told of the
Elder Booth.
The elder Booth acquired a skull
foe use in “ Hamlet” in an odd man
ner, according to an old time story
that is told about the great actor.
The tragedian, somewhat in his
cups, was traveling near Louisville,
when he took a horse from s field
and rode off with it. Horse stealing
at that time was a capital offense in
Kentucky, and the greatest hone
thief was a man named Fontaine.
Booth was soon overtaken and when
asked where he got the animal said :
“ 1 captured him in a field back
here.”
“ Indeed r said one of the farm-
en . "And what might your name
be?”
"M y name is Fontaine,” said
Booth, without a smile.
“ Fontaine r ejaculated both men
simultaneously. “ Then you are the
very man we want. Come beck to
town with ua.”
“ Certainly,” said Booth in the
moat good natured manner, and,
wheeling his home, he rode beck to
Louisville with his captors.
The d ty jail was theb in charge
o f a Colonel Thomas, who knew
Booth welL “ We have brought you
Fontaine, the hone thief, end claim
the reward,” said the farm en
proudly, addreesing the jailer.
“ Where ia he?” they were asked.
Booth was produced. “ Why, whet
does this mejfn, Mr. Booth ?” asked
Thomas.
“ I haven’t the slightest idea,”
said the great tragedian, with the
utmost simplicity. “ I met these two
men with this horse, and they in
sisted upon giving it to me. I guess
they stòle i t I think one o f them
is Fontaine.”
The rustics were about to be
locked up when by the most singu
lar coincidence a man rushed to the
prison door on horseback and
shouted out the information that
the real Fontaine had been taken
into custody. Booth made Fon
taine’s acquaintance after the des
perado was lodged in jail, and the
horse thief, who was executed later,
left by will his skull to the actor.—

Thomas Parr lived 152 years and
waa buried in Westminster abbey.
Born in Shropshire, England, in
1483, Parr led the life o f an agri
cultural laborer in his native place
till blindness and extreme old age
kept him indoors. Early in 1635,
his longevity having made him fa

took hin> to London to be exhibited
to Charles I. He was lodged in the
Strand, but the change o f air and
diet told upon him, and in Novem
ber o f that same year he died. He
waa described as a good looking
man of medium size, with a deep
chest and a thick heard. He attrib

tion in eating and drinking.
Curieua Title».
The English reformers adopted
some curious titles for their devo
tional and controversial works.
“ Matches Lighted at the Divine
Fire,” “ The Gun o f Penitence,”
“ The Shop o f the Spiritual Apoth
ecary,” “ The Bank o f Faith,” “ Six-
pennyworth o f Divine Spirit,”
“ Some Fine Biscuita Baked In the
Ovdn of Charity, Carefully Con
served For the Chickens o f the
Church,” “ The Sparrows o f the
Spirit” and “ The Sweet Swallows of
Salvation” are among the number.
Carefully Guarded Tea.
The tea used in the Chinese royal
household i* treated with the ut
most care. It is raised in s garden
surrounded by a wall, so that nei
ther man nor beast can get anywhere
near the plants. At the time of the
harvest those collecting these leaves
must abstain from eating fish that
their breath may not spoil the
aroma of the tee. they must bathe
three times a day and in addition
most wear gloves while picking the
tea for the Chinese court.
