-CCEVER CRIPPLES.
Dtformad Bodi«» That War* Endowed
With Brilliant Minda. -
Talleyrand, the notorious French
statesman, friend of Napoleon and
ambassador at the English court,
was designed for a military career,
but an accident when one year old
rendered him a cripple for life. His
cunning cleverness, political pene
tration, adroit intrigues and ingen
ious subterfuges were vehemently
opposed by the emperor’s wife, Jo
sephine, who energetically denounc
ed him as a “cursed cripple.”
Josiah Wedgwood, the famous
potter and scientist, suffered from
a disease of the right knee which
necessitated the amputation of the
limb. Referring to this infirmity,
Mr. Gladstone once declared: “It
sent his mind inward. It drove him
to meditate upon the laws and se
crets of his ai;t. The result was
that he arrived at a perception and
grasp of them which might perhaps
have been envied bv an Athenian
potter. The early years of John
Flaxman, who designed the choicest
specimens of Wedgwood ware, were
spent behind his father’s shop coun
ter, propped up by pillows and
amusing himself by drawing and
reading. It was long before he
could walk, and he learned to do so
only by hobbling along on crutches.
Alexander Pope, the poet, is said
to have inherited nothing from his
father save his physical deformity
and nothing from his mother ex
cept her violent headache. Little
more than four feet in height, his
bodily infirmities rendered his life
one long disease, yet he labored in
cessantly and received £5,320 for
his translation of the “Iliad.”
Mrs. Br,owning, the distinguished
poetess, was of a delicate constitu
tion and never enjoyed robust
health. Her sufferings were due
to an accident which happened in
her sixteenth year. She was one
day trying to saddle her pony in a
field when she fell with the saddle
upon her, incurring an injury to
her spine. The after effects were 60
serious that for years she had to
recline on her back.
Both Lord Byron and Sir Walter
Scott were lame. Sir Walter’s
lameness was caused by a kick from
a horse when acting as quarter
master of the Edinburgh Light
cavalry.
Sir William Thomson, who be
came Lord Kelvin, was a cripple,
and so was I)r. James MacGregor,
one of the greatest of Scottish
preachers.—London Standard.
Liars’ Clubs.
In the days of good Queen Hess
few kinds of entertainment were
more popular than the game of
“brag,” in which the victory went
to the competitor who was adjudged
by the audience to have emulated
most successfully the example of
Ananias of dubious memory. It
may perhaps be surmised not un
reasonably that the popularity of
this form of amusement was due to
the fact that the art of novel writ
ing was unknown in those days.
Writ ing in 1580, an old author says,
“Lying with us is so loved and al
lowed that there ai;e many t vines
gamings and prizes therefor, pur
posely to encourage one to outlye
another.” The custom persisted
until more recent times, and as late
as the eighteenth century “liars’
clubs” were a common feature of
London life.
No Dishes to Wash.
Happy Madagascarians! They
have no dishes to wash in their
housekeeping. The large, fibrous
leaves of what is called “the travel
ers’ tree,” because its stalks on be
ing pierced yield a clear watery sap
which makes a refreshing drink, cut
into rectangular pieces, serve them
for plates, platters, cups and spoons.
The rice or other food which con
stitutes a meal is piled on one rtf
these leaves. A native takes a piece
of leaf in each hand, rolled up like
a cornet, and with one dips a port
tion of the rice from one platter
into another and on it conveys the
food to the month. That is all there
is of it—no changing of plates, no
bother about clearing tables.
The Marble Bible.
In 1857 Mimlon-min, king of
Burma, erected a, jnonument near
Mandglay called tjtiq Kutho-daw.
There be built 700 temples, in each
of which there is a slab of white
marble. Upon these 700 slabs is
engraved the whole of the Buddhist
Bible, a vast literature in itself,
equal to about six copies of the j
Holy Scriptures. This marble Bible j
is engraved in the Pali language, j
thought to be that spoken bv Bud
dha himself 500 B. C.
Letting the Cat Out of the Bag.
- Long ago unscrupulous people j
used to take a cat in a bag to mar- !
ket, where they tried to sell it for j
r pig. If. however, a purchaser
opened the bag before buying, the
eat of course jumped out, diecloa
ing the fraud; hence the term “let
ting the cat out of the bag.”
" AFGHAN WOMEN. ~ j
•* -* —
High Cast* Mothers L«ad ■ Lonely, ;
Lazy Exiatonca.
If there are any women in the !
world who have a right to die of |
ennui it is those poor creatures of !
Afghanistan, the upper class dames, i
They spend their days doing abso- ■
lutely nothing, for they disdain
sewing, cooking and general house
hold duties. They leave the care j
of their children to slaves, and they
can neither read nor write.
Generally in a rich house there is !
one chief slave, a sort of house- ;
keeper, rather a grand person, '
whom it is always wise to conciliate .
if you intend having many dealings j
with that establishment. In sum- j
mer she is always dressed in purest ;
white. In winter velvets and bro- j
endes are not beyond her reach. (
She is generally an elderly person, 1
with considerable influence and a
good deal of authority.
Then thcr.e is another who is a i
sort of maid to the lady of the
house. She is another person with
whom it is not wise to quarrel. She
is always very much in evidence, j
She ii; is who prepares everything j
for her mistress’ toilet, as also for ;
her master’s. It is the wife’s spc- ,
cial duty and privilege, however, i
when the things are prepared to j
wait npon her husband when lie is |
dressing, to pour the water over his
hands and feet during his religious
washings, to spread his prayer car
pet, to put his favorite dish before
him, and so on.
It is difficult to appreciate the
exact position of these Afghan wo
men until one sees the way in which
mothers are treated by their sons. J
They may nurse them when they |
are sick, tend them when they are
young, but let the boys grow to be
eleven or twelve years old and you
will hear them tell their mother to
“chup sho” (shut up), send them
to fetch their caps and expect to be
addressed by tbe mothers as “aglia
gul” or “aglia jon,” which means
“niv precious master,” “master
dear.”
Kabul mothers seldom have much
affection for their children or their
children for them. They do not
nurse them as babies, and their
babyhood is a particularly long one,
for they are very backward. They
belong to their nurses more than to
their mothers till they are two and
one-half years old, and after that
it is their father who notices them
and not their mother.—Exchange.
His Amendment.
l)r. Winpington Ingram, the
bishop of London, was once asked
to select his favorite clerical story,
and ho chose the following:
The late Archbishop Magee, the
famous Irish prelate, was once con
cerned with other high ecclesiastics
in the presentation of a memorial
to Queen Victoria, and a meeting
was held to discuss its terms.
The original draft began with,
“Conscious as we are of our un
worthin'ess, we humbly pray your
majesty,” etc., but some one sug
gested that this was inappropriate,
coming from bishops.
“Oh, well,” said Archbishop Ma
gee. “we'll soon alter that!”
Taking a pen, he wrote, “Con
scious as we are of each other's un
worthiness. we,” etc.
Too Much Sound.
In Dean Ramsay's book of anec
dotes there is one which refers to
a conversation between a Scotch
minister and a sexton. The minis
ter was a stranger to the grave
maker and discussed with him the
doctrines of the neighboring clergy.
As one after another was mention
ed the sexton wagged his head
gloomily and said, “lie’s no sound.”
At last the minister, who was, hv
the bye, a long winded and rather
empty preacher, mentioned his own
name and inquired, “Mr. - now,
isn’t ho sound ?”
“Oo, aye,” said the sexton, with
a twinkle in his eye. “He’s aw
sound.”
A Court Fool’s Joke.
Scogan, the famous court jester
of Edward IV., dearly loved a prac
tical joke. Once he borrowed money
of the king and when the day for
payment came was unable; to make
good his word. He feared the
king’s anger and decided to appease
him by a joke. Feigning death, he
had his friends carry his body be
fore lidwar.d. The king fell a ready
victim to the deception and in his
lamentations over the supposed
dead fool said he freely forgave the
debt. Scogan immediately sprang
to his feet, exclaiming, “The news
is so revivifying that it has called
me back to life.*’
Too Successful.
Qtfizzor—What’s the matter, old
man? You look worried.
Sizzer—I have cause to. I hired
a man to trace my pedigree.
Quizzcr—Well, wlmt’s the trou
ble? Hasn’t he been successful ?
Sizzer—Successful! I should say
he has! I’m paying him huan
money.—J udge.
