Once the check was not handed to him in what he thought a sutcient-- ly dignied manner, andhe said to the dealer: `This. is careless of you." You push this check toward me, and you do not realize what a` privilege it is to be able to hand it to- the` master. You should offer" it on a rich old English salver and in a kingly way. Once a dealer borrowed a gorgeously embossed silver salver for the occasion, and when the master arrived for his check-he was very punctua1-presented it on the salver with a carefully `worded and elegant little speech that he had taken some pains to rehearse.

Here is an in- stance in point: In the summer ot 1884 the farmhouse of Henry Axtell, in Chemung county, N. Y., was struck by lightning three times in one day. First V it split the chimney from top to bottom, ruined stove and pipe and bored sever- e al large holes in the oor. 1' An hour later a bolt struck the same house and tore a milk bench, upon which_sev- ` eral cans of milk were setting, all to pieces. Thesame evening a third ash entered the root and tore the legs from a bedstead. . . ' ` Quaint Cure: of Old.
