May 8 di&w tf, DAILY LAYING THE TABLE-CLOTH. _ “Doubliers” of the Twelfth Century Dis placed by Two Table Cloths, Most Canadian girls and many of their brothers have had to ‘‘set the table’’ when they would have better enjoyed doing something else, but the task offered no serious difficulties. If they had had to follow the French fashion of several centuries ago they might well have felt some dismay, Probably no little French girls of the period from the twelfth to the seventeenth centuries could have arranged a fashionable table- cloth without considerable assistance. In the twelfth century the table-cloths were very large, and were always laid on the table double; for a long time they were called for that reason The cloth was first placed so as to touch the floor on the side of the table at which the then all the cloth that remained was folded so that it just cov ered the table. Charles V had sixty-seven table-cloths, which were from fifteen to twenty yards long and two yards wide. He had one cloth which was thirty-two yards long, and had the arms of France em broidered on it in silk. All of these were fringed. In the sixtenth century ‘‘doubliers,”’ or double cloths, were replaced by two table-cloths, one of which was small and ‘*doubliers”’ guests sat; was laid just as we lay ours to-day. The other, which was put on over it, was large and of beautifully-figured linen. It was skilfully folded in such a way that, as a book of that time says, “It resembled a winding river, gently ruffled by a little breeze, for among very many little folds were here and there great bubbles.’ It must have required much art and care to make dishes, plates, salt-cellars, sauce-dishes and glasses, stand steadily in the midst of this undulating sea, and among those ‘‘bubbles’’ and puffy folds. However, the fashion had only a short existence, as is apt to be the ease with unpractical fashions, and toward the lat- ter part of the century a single cloth laid flat, and touching the floor on all sides of the table, came into general use, A Joke on the Joker, A transatlantic liner had steame@ more than a day from New York. A long, thin man was leaning over the rail, contem- plating the surging waters. Not far away was a group of ladies and gentlemen. Suddenly the long, thin man showed signs of excitement. ‘‘Didn’t I see a man struggling in the water there?’’ he exclaimed. The other passengers crowded about, and gazed in the direction in- dicated, but could see nothing. Presently, however, they heard a pitiful cry, ‘‘Help! Help! Save me!- Help!’’ In an instant all was commotion. The shout was raised, ‘‘Man overboard!’’ The ery still came from the waters, ‘‘Help!”’ ‘The captain came and listened. Then he ordered the ship put about, and a boat lowered. Thelong, thin man, much ex- cited, pointed to the place where he said he had seen the drowning map. The boat pulled rapidly away,and the great steam- ship herself plowed slowly back to the place. Every one on board knew that the trip was a test of speed between this steamer and a ship of a rival line. Every minute was precious. A ‘‘record’’ was being made. The owners of the ship had ordered the captain to lose not a moment. But in a case of life and death all other con- siderstions are put aside. The sailors in the small boat found no man in the water, however, nor was any one missing from the ship. At last it was decided that some poor stowaway had fallen overboard in an attempt to escape from his place of hiding, and the steamer proceeded on her way. The passengers were shocked and sad, and the captain was rendered rather glum by the loss of more than an hour. But the long, thin man seemed very gay,under the circumstances. One would have said that the drowning of this poor fellow had pleased him. The fact was, he had perpetrated what he called a great joke on the captain and passengers,and he was too much elated to keep it to him- self. Before long he had confessed to two or three passengers that he was a profes- sional ventriloquist,and had counterfeited the call of a drowning man. These passengers told others, and soon the story was known all over the ship. The long, thin man regarded himself as the hero of the hour. But about this time to him, and told him how much had been at stake on the trip. And for that matter, it always costs a considerable amount to stop a great steamship at sea and start it again, just as it does to stop and start a railway train. The captain thought that, taking the two elements of into account, the sum of several thousand dollars would about represent the amount that the ventriloquist owed the steamship company. The ventriloquist stood aghast. ‘‘But you can’t make me pay damages for a joke!’’ he said. ‘‘Perhaps not,’’ answered the captain, “and perhaps wecan. At any rate we ean try. I shall deem it my duty to have you arrested as soon as we reach Liver- pool, and then you will have an oppor- tunity to answer in court our demand for financial restitution. ’’ From that time the voyage had no pleasures for the long,thin man. He was ina state of geat alarm. The passengers grinned significantly when he passed, for the captain’s remarks to him had been overheard. He spent most of his time in his room, and did not favor the passengers with any more feats of ventriloquism. the captain came loss Overruled, Wingle—Why call it a You should say ‘‘teethbrush,’’ happen to have but one tooth.

Life boats were lowered and forty men volunteered to put out across the angry sea to the wreck. They came back with a dozen shipwrecked men, and among them a boy of twelve years, ‘“*Who are you?” said Captain Judkins. The answer was, ‘‘I am a Scotch boy. My father and mother are dead and I am on my way to America,”’ ‘“‘What have you here?’ said Captain Judkins, as he opened the boy’s jacket and took hold af a rope around the boy’s body. “It is a rope,”’ “But what is under your arm?’’ “That, sir, is my mother’s Bible. told me never to lose that.’ “Could you not have saved something else. ’’ *“Not and save that.’ “Did you expect to go down?”’ Yes, sir. but I meant to mother's Bible down with me.” ‘*Bravo!’’ said Judkins, ‘I will take are of you.’’ said the boy. that tied by this rope She take my In Regara w Marriage, In Japan, if a woman is not married by acertain age, the authorities pick ut a man whom they compel her to marry. In Schleswig there is a spinster’s insurance company, established to provide for the single lady members of well-to-do families. The company giyes them shelter, board and pin money. Ia Den- mark young women are able to insure against being old maids. Should they remain spinsters at forty they receive a weekly allowance. The Mariahilf Matri- monial Club of Austria, the members of which are all rich men, pledge them- setves to marry a poor girl—any infringe- ment by marrying a rich one entails a fine of £100, which forms an endowment to keep those who have obeyed the rule. On the other hand, an anti-matrimonial club exists at Frankfort, the members being ladies between the ages of twenty and forty, duly elewted and paying an annual subsrirpiton of £10. They take a vow never to marry; doing so entails a fine of £100. Every member must dress ‘a black and forswear novela A Slight Mistake, “IT didn’t know you were so accom- plished a linguist,’’ he remarked, as he glanced at the paper she was reading. ‘*I don’t make any pretensions in that direction,’’ she answered. “*But that is a Russian have picked up.’’ “Why, so it is,’’ she answered, in sur- prise. ‘‘I thought it was adialect story.”’ —Washington Star. newspaper you EXAMINER . . .

The lady looked entirely too young to be the boy’s mother and was dressed in a style becoming rather a young girl. In addition she paid no attention what- ever to the infant and narse, who took a seat behind her, and the spectators on the car began to think they had heen de- ceived in imagining that there was any relation between them. Presently she raised he daintly gloved hand and signaled the conductor t) stog, Then she stepped gracefully off und made her way to the curb. Looking back indifferently she said:— ‘Jane, bring tle boy!”’ The boy evidently did not want to come. He clung to the seat in spite of the nurse, whereat the fin de_ siecie mother called:— ‘* Boy—boy—come along!”’ And the old lady on the sniffed indignatly and said :— ““Well; I reckon that’s one of these new women.
