BUSINESS COLLEGE Kent Street, 'g; Lindsay eiWa ONT. Paper After a. year of arduous negotiation the Turkish government yielded, and in February, 1853, the keys were hand- ed over to the Latin monks, and the silver star was established in the sanc- tuary of Bethlehem. Tee-tee-total. About September. 1833, Dicky Tur- ner, the converted weaver, when deliv- ering one of his fervid speeches in the Temperance hotel. Preston, the cockpit where the earls of Derby formerly fought their cocks for three centuries, in favor of the new pledge. declared with emphasis that “nothing but the tee-tee-total pledge would do." Mr. Joseph Livesey upon hearing this im- mediately cried out amid great cheer- ing, “That shall be the name.” The newly coined word was taken up by the succeeding speakers and was after- ward used at all the meetings held in the town and neighborhood. It was soon adopted in every part of Lanca- shire and was eventually accepted as the true designation of total abstainers not only in the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilized world. Unchanged. The lapse of years makes quite 3 difference in things. and Rip Van Win- kle was not to blame for feeling out of place after his long nap. Twelve stalwarts, therefore, marched out clad in this cumbrous, unaccustom- ed accouterment. taking with them the necessary tools. and succeeded in exe- outing their purpose under a. hail of bullets from the besiegers. It W’a- Started In a. Controversy Over a Door Key. As an instance of What great events can follow trivial happenings the genesis of the Crimean war is inter- esting. Unfortunately Emperor Nicholas, as head of the Greek church. considered this an infringement of his rights and immediately ordered 150,000 men across the Turkish frontier. At the same time he demanded that the claims of the Christian population of Turkey should be secured by treaty with himself, but the sultan refused this, with the support of France. Aus- tria and Prussia. The necessity of spiking the guns was apparent, but a sortie in the face of the overwhelming musketry fire of the insurgents was out of the question. At this juncture an idea occurred to an artillery officer. He remembered hav- ing noticed, in making an inspection of the magazine. some old plate armor, and, selecting from the best preserved 12 suits. he determined to try whether they would not afiford sufficient protec- tion for his men to attempt to work un- der cover of their own guns. The czar then proceeded to seize the Danubian provinces, proclaiming at the same time tlmt he had “no intention to commevw war.” England and Promo joined him, and so from, such slight beginnings sprang the n 05: merciless, bloody and fruit- less struggle of the nineteenth cen- tury .â€"â€"New York Journal. “Everything is new.” he murmured pitifully, the while a tear pushed man- t'ully away at his eyelid. “Nothing is like it used to be. Oh, for the sight of something familiar!" Wandering into a store, he carelessly picked up a comic paper. more to hide his emotion than anything else. Sud- denly he gave a cry of exceeding great joy. In 1851 Louis Napoleon demanded of the sultan that the Latin monks should have a key to the great door of the church at Bethlehem; that they should have a key to each of the doors of the Cave to the Nativity and the privilege of setting up there a silver star bear- ing the arms of France.

Sonâ€"Am I? Well, I think I have a right to consider myself an adept now. There were, however, left on the space lying between the opposing forces some dozen or so guns which the beleaguered had not been able to take with them into the fort. The French were not strong enough to fight their way through the lines of their opponents, Who outnumbered them 20 to 1, while, as the latter had no guns, the Frenchmen could hold their position with confidence. The Last Battle In Which They Were Worn by European Soldiers. The last occasion, it is believed, on which suits of armor were worn in bat- tle by European soldiers was in 1799. The incident, according to chroniclers of the Napoleonic wars, took place in that year, when a. small French force was holding the little fort at Aquilla in the Abruzzi against a rising of the hostile peasantry of the district. THE CRIMEAN WAR. SUITS OF ARMOR. Porcelain. China (porcelain) is so called because it was first brought from 1h:- Celestial kingdom. It is made principally of kaolin. and kaolin takes its name from a high hill in China, where it was first discovered. It is a fine clay. White when pure. and it is easily WOrked. it has since been found in various places, the United States as well as other countries. The American Beauty rose originated in the conservatories of the White House. The first of the species was a freak flower, and the intelligent gar- dener saw that he had a “flnd”_ and cultivated the plant. A Pathetic Figure Who In Regulnmy Snubbed at Town Meetings. The most pathetic figure at a town meeting is the man with a claim. The man Who has the claim or grievance goes to the selectmen each spring and has them put an article in the warrant bringing this matter up. Some years he goes into town meeting himself and urges his claim. In other years for the sake of variety he will hire some of the local lawyers to present the matter in the best manner possible. Usually the man is listened to. though the Whole thing is horribly familiar to ev- ery voter in the town. A Lesson In Rudcness. “Women should not complain that they have to stand in street cars and other public conveyances.” said an old gentleman as he laboriously made his way from the transfer man to the her- dic. “Children It‘ltll) (oimnon polite- nvss at home if tmy loam it at all. On the car that I just left was a hand- souwly dressed woman and her son a time looking boy of 10. The car “‘11 crowded when I got on. and the little man and his mother sat nonr the door. As soon as I entered the boy Inadca motion to get up, but his mother held him down “Madam.” he said. “I am going to give you a lesson in astronomy. Have you not heard of the great Platonic year. when everything must return to its former condition? Know, then. that in 2,000 years we shall be here again on the same day and at the same hour. Will you give us credit till then?" “Move we pass over that article,” and forthwith the article is passed over with a whoop. And the man is around next year as usual. It is a curi- ous thing. but the average town ap- pears always ready to repudiate these matters of long standing. I have heard voters admit that certain claims against their town were perfectly legit- imate and perhaps ought to be paid. but they are of the coterie that regu- larly votes against granting the ap- peal of the petitioners. Why? Oh, well, it’s “an old matter.” and the town is irritated by the persistence of the man who keeps coming to claim his own. When a town gets set in that direction, there is no repudiation so heartless and so conseienceless as that which marks its action. You see. the blame is so equally divided. Refusing to pay honest debts is treated as a joke. Even the man who at last with awakened conscience gets up and urges his fellow citizens to do the right thing and pay the bill is smiled away as a chap that means well. but doesn’t know what he is talking aboutâ€"Lew- iston Journal. a seat in a crowded car. but what. can she expect when she teaches her own son to be discourteous to the lame and the halt?”â€"-Washingtou Star. The hostess. however. had her reply. "I am perfectly willing.” she roto"ted. “but it is just 2.000 years since you were here before. and you left without paying then.

Man Who Thought He Had Appendicitis. “A nervous man' recently called on me,” said a New Orleans physician, “and asked, ‘In what part of the :1de- men are the premonitory pains of ap- pendicitis felt?’ ‘On the left side, ex- actly here,’ I replied. indicating a spot a little above the point of the hip bone. “I assured her that I did not and jokingly added: take.’ "â€"Dctroit Free Press. “Yes, it is a $5 goldpiece, madam. You gave it to me.” “You might have said so,” she mur- mured meekly as she fished out a. real nickel. “He went out, and next afternoon I was summoned in hot haste to the St. Charles hotel. I found the planter writhing on his bed. his forehead bead- ed with sweat and his whole appear- ance indicating intense snifering. ‘I have an attack of appendicitis,’ he groaned, ‘and I’m a dead man! I’ll never survive an operation? “ ‘Well, then, it isn’t appendicitis at any rate,’ I said cheerfully, ‘becauso that is the wrong side.’ Stevenson. who was watching him eagerly. cried out to him in apparent alarm: “Oh. don’t do that!
