She has prepared a joint oecupation with Turkey, but the Porte shrinks from a course of action which must bring it into immediate collision with England and \ustria, and probably with Italy as well. If Prinee Ferdinand is a wise ruler he will establish himself on his throne and endea- vor to secure the complete pacification of the country, and then there will be little difficulty in obtaining the ratification of his election by the Powers, so as to make him Prince de juve as well as de faeto.

The following anecdote forcibly illustrates the absurd custom which prevailed many years ago in America, of giving children names made up of Scripture sentences. About the beginning of the present century a New England sea captain having some business at a public office, which required him to sign his name, was rather tedious in performing the operation, which did not escape the observation of the officer, who

was a little impatient at the delay and curious withal to see what sort of a name it could be that required so long a_ time to spread it upon paper. Perhaps the captain had a long string of titles to grace ‘it, such as honorable, esquire, colonel’ of militia, selectman of the town of — , etce., which he chose to make an ostentatious parade of; or perhaps it was his whim to subscribe the place of his nativity, and that of his resi- dence, together with his age, height and complexion. He was mistaken ; for the captain had subscribed nothing but simply his name, which, when he had done, the officer after some trouble in deciphering, found to read thus: Through-Much-Tribu- lation - We - Enter - Into- The- Kingdom - of Heaven Clapp.

Who would imagine that men would use such a device as the following, simply to keep up with fashion in dress. James I. and his subjects, who wished to clothe themseves loyally, wore stupendous breeches. Of course the honorable gentle- men of the House of Commons were neces- sarily followers of the fashion. But it led to inconvenience in the course of their sen- atorial duties. It was an old mode revived; and at an earlier day, when these nether garments were ample enough t6 have cov- ered the lower man of Boanerges, the com- fort of the popular representative was thus cared for. ‘Over the seats in the Parlia- ment House, there were certain holes, two inches square, in the walls, in which were placed posts to uphold a scaffold round about the house within, for them to sit upon who used the wearing of great breeches, stuffed with hair, like woolsacks, which fashion being left the eighth year of Kiizabeth the scaffolds were taken down and never since put up.” So says Strutt; but doubtless the comforts of the members were not less cared for when the old fashion again prevailed.

I have heard it said that in most instances medical science can account for these strange antipathys. The author of the Turkish Spy tells us that he would rather encounter a lion in the desert of Arabia than feel a spider crawling on him in the dark. He observes that there is no reason to be given for these secret dislikes. He humorously at- tributes them to the doctrine of the trans- migration of the soul ; as regards himself, he supposed he had been a fly, and that having been persecuted with spiders he still retained the dread of his old enemy.
