The Senate’» Hol» In the Wall.
When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddles at the sc
called Hole in the Wall, a small circu­ I
lar room just off the iM<st«ffi«e of the
upper house. Tbe latter body then
occupied what Is now the chamber of
the supreme court, and the postoffii e
was luToss the main corridor of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer of the toga found himself in
need < f a "snifter" he had only to
cross over to the malls department
aril pars through it to the little ctr-
< ulnr room aforesaid, which was about
the size of a pantry. Tbe Hole In tbe
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill of fare for edibles was
■bort, though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed tn have been smoked
for six months, n verl.ahle sublimation
of the pork product; there were corned
beef arid bread and cheese, but very
little else. They served, however, ns
nn accompaniment f> r tbe fluids, and
when the Hole was crowded, as was
often the case, senators ate their sand­
wiches outside. In the poatoffice. —

“Thou Diest on Point of Fox.”
Fox blades were celebrated all
through the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries for their excellent temper,
and mention of them Is frequent in
English drama. This I n their history:
There was a certain Julian del Rel,
believed to be a Morisco, who set up n
forge at Toledo in the early pari of
the sixteenth century and became fa
mous for the excellence of his sword
blades, which were regarded as the
best of Toledo. That city had for many
ages previous been renowned for
Hwordmaklng, It being supposed that
the Moors Introduced the art, as they
did so many good things, from the
cast.
Julian del tiels
was a little
dog. which came to be taken for n fox.
and so the “fox blade” or simply “fox”
for any good sword. See “Henry V.,’*
act 4, scene 4, “Thou diest on point of
fox.” The brand came to be Imitated
in other places, and there are Solingen
blades of comparatively modern manu­
facture which still boar the little dog
of Julian del Rel.- London Notos and

A Royal Snaka Slaughterer.

Majestic hs>king birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go

black, feathery legs, and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes
Where the secretary bird Is seen there

The bird beats down Us adversary

other, at the same time trampling on
it with Its feat until the snake Is suffi
clently stunned to catch It by the
head with It» claws. Then the bird
rises far up In the air and drops It»

Everybody In the car admired the

down on the floor all leaned forward
to examine It more closely At length
one old gentleman stood up and rend

Death and Snuff.
A certain Margaret Wilson of West-
minster, who was an Inveterate snuff
taker, enjoined that a quantity of
Scotch snuff should be placed In her
coffin She also ordered that the ar­
rangements connected with h"r funer
al should be as follows: “Six men to
be my hearers who ar« known to be
the greatest snuff takers In the parish
of St. Janies. Westminster. Instead of

be thrown on the threshold of de­
ceased's dwelling before the cortege
passed out, snuff was to be strewn on
the ground at every twenty yards In
advance of the coffin, and the officiat­
ing clergyman’s fee was to be proper

What the Peruvians Believed.
A unique Idea of the future state
was that of the ancient Peruvians.
As the disembodied soul winged Its
way to eternity It encountered two
rocks, upon one of which It must
needs rest. The choice was deter­
mined by the morality of the life la
the flesh. If It rested upon the left
hand rock It was Instantly translated
to 'To," or oblivion, a state analogous
to the Nirvana of the orient.
If
through early misdeeds, however, the
unhappy spirit was gutded to the right
hand rock It entered Into a purga
torlal hell where fiends grated awn*-
the flesh from all the bones In suc­
cession, after which the skeleton was
reclotbed and sent back to earth for
another try.
There was no haste
about this grating process,
something over 10,000 years.
