The kindling of bonfires on bill la the simplest of celebrations at any time. The Druids made four great fires at their festivals In February. May. August and November. Wales seems to bare been a country espe cially tenacious of this custom. Each family used to make its own fire, and as it was dying out eacb member would throw a wblte stone into it. the atones being marked for future Iden tification. Then all aaid their pray ers and went to bed. and in the morn ing tbey tried to find all the stones again. If any stone was missing it betokened that the owner of it would die within a year. Some superstitions are pretty and picturesque and attrac tive. This was one of the many which were cruel as well as picturesque. It woi'ld take but a slight accident to cause a fright that might be actually dangerous to a superstitious person, and it would not be hard for an ene my of such a person to cause that fright by stealing bis stone from the fire. A Roman Dinntr. A Boman dinner at the house of a wealthy man consisted chiefly of three courses. All sorts of stimulants to the appetite were first served up. and eggs were indispensable to the first course. Among the various dishes we may in stance the guinea ben, pheasant, night ingale and the thrush as birds most in repute. The Roman gormands beld peacocks in great estimation, especial ly tbelr tongues. Macrobius states that tbey were first eaten by Hortenslus, the orator, and acquired such repute that a single peacock was sold for 50 denarii, the denarius being equal to about elghtpence halfpenny of English money w Chambers' Journal. Saved by His Witt. The Duke of Wellington once met by accident an officer in a state of in ebriety. ."Look here, sir," said the Iron Duke. "What would you do if you met one of your men in the condition in which I And you? . The officer drew himself up. gave tbe military salute and replied with great gravity, "I would not condescend to apeak to tbe brute." Bis wit saved slm bis commission. Appreciation. "Father." said little Rollo, "was George Washington a greater man than Santa Claus?' "I won't say, my son, that he was greater, but be has proved much less expensive."

Tom Howard was not cut out for a clergyman. He was Tom at school. Tom tu college and loin in ibe theological seminary. He was a good fellow wbom ever' body loved, a big framed, big bearted man who abould have folium an active cxierr. He bad stood kw id bin cihimhh wblle in col leg, but bad rvdwftned Dimwit oo tbe football gridiron, carrylug his uni versity colors to victory ou bis own herculean shoulders. When Tom aoipted his 6rt call he tried extemporaneous avnuona Tbey were 0l satisfactory. Members of bla congregation Uluied to bloi that tbey would prefer written sermons. This waa a blow to blm. In college be bad usually secured tbe services of some student possessing literary gifts to write bis essaya for blm. He returned to that plan. Howard aklrmlsbed till be secured tbe name of a clergyman living in a small town distant from tbe city In wblcb be bltnself lived wbo made a practice of writing sermons for other Incumbents of pulpits. Tom thought It a pity that this man waa born wltb tbe ability to write not only bla own sermons, but tbose of other people, while be, poor fellow, waa not able even to write but own. There was something pathetic In this big broad shouldered fellow. In tbe vigor of bis youth, strong as an ox. not being able to get up a bomily that would require a brief twenty mloutea to deliver. Howard wrote tbe Rev. Egbert In glebart asking if be would sell blm sermons. Inglebart replied that be would and named bis price. Howard agreed to pay it and ordered balf a dozen sermons. Tbey were sent with in a fortnight and Howard was de lighted wltb them. After delivering one of them many of bis congregation surrounded blm, pouring forth con gratulations that be bad found the true method of getting up his sermons. Mr. Howard congratulated himself tbat he bad. At tbe same time be felt somewbst uncomfortable at hav ing his abilities supplied by another. There were certain points In tbe ser mons tbat were very unlike Mr. How ard, a feminine tenderness at times more befitting a reverend cream cheese than a reverend athlete. Howard wrote Mr. Inglebart about It and In glebart asked blm to send blm bis photograph. The photograph waa sent and Mr. Inglebart asked: "Why didn't you send it before? Now I know what kind of a man yon are and can write for you accordingly." Tbe next sermon received was a Thanksgiving address to be delivered oo tbe date of a great football match between two prominent universities. It was bristling wltb such expressions as "figbt the good fight" "smote them blp and thigh" and "conquer by the Lord's help." In delivering it the min ister was in bis element and bis ser mon was voted a brilliant success. From tbat time forward Howard continued to grow in favor wltb bis flock. Most of tbe girls In the congre gation set their caps for blm. Rut there la safety In numbers. Resides, the clergyman didn't fancy atij of them. However, be received L.any hints that tbe church would prefer a married pastor, and be began to think be must marry or Bud another field of labor. Thinking tbat one wbo bad helped blm out so well with bis ser mons might be equally serviceable In a matter of matrimony, be wrote Mr. inglebart. wltb wbom be bad become quite intimate through correspondence, of bis dilemma and asked blm if be knew of any girl wbo would make a good clergyman's wife. Inglebart re plied tbat there were a number of fine young womeu in bis parish and if be would come up Inglebart would give blm a chance to look tbem ever. How ard replied tbat be would go up for a brief visit In Lent, because be wished to talk over a sermon for Easter tbat would bear upon tbe duty of tbe young men of bis congregation to marry. This would Include himself, but be was doing bis own duty in looking for a wife. So during tbe second week in Lent, Howard, buving secured a classmate In tbe seminary to take bis place at dally services for a day or two, went to visit Inglebart He bad expected tbat as a mutter of course bis rever end brother would invite him to stay at bis bouse. But be received no such invitation and on arrival went to a hotel. Tbe same morning be called on Inglebart "Please step Into tbe study," said the maid wbo admitted blm, Howard passed Into tbe study and saw a girl writing at a desk. "Beg pardon." be said. "I supposed I should find your fatber in here." "You are Mr. Howard. 1 know you from the photograph you sent me." "Sent youf "Yes: I pass as Egbert- Inglehart That was my father's name. I have written the sermons sent yon." Tbe big man looked down on tbe girl, and a bot blush spread over bis face. The girl looked amused. "You desire me to help you to find s wife." she sijjd. "No. I don't-tbat is. If you will ac cept the situation yourself. With a wife to write my sermons I can tight the devil most advantageously." The Easter sermon' was- delivered, and It was a splendid effort and many of the yonng men were converted to matrimony. As to tbe girls, not one In the congregation needed conversion.
