Trade Emblems on Tombstones.
In Scotland it was for a long time
usual to place on a man's tombstone
, the symbols of his trade*. Especially
was this the case at Dunblane, whore,
in the burial ground of the abbey, it
i lias been found that of those tomb
stones which are from 100 to 200 years
old about one-fourth are thus marked,
tin* symbols being in low relief. A
sugar cane may la* seen as showing
the grave of a grocer; an ax and saw,
with hammer and nails, occur on the
grave of a carpenter; an awl and a
hammer oil that of a shoemaker.
There are many other graves similarly
marked. London Answers.
Returned With Interest.
The author and Sallie Quickstep
were playing tennis, and the author,
who is something of a tease, had l>eon
rallying her about her game.
“I say, Miss Sallie,” he cried at last,
“do you feel warm? You’re getting
awfully red.”
“Am I red?” returned she calmly as
she sent the ball flying over the net.
“Well, that’s more than can be said of
your books, Mr. Inkwell. That’s 40
love, I believe.”—New York Press.
Busy Firemen.
“You have a tire department in your
village. I supi>ose?” asked the visitor
to Mudville.
“Oh, yes,” replied the proud citizen.
“And is the department kept busy?”
“Busy? I should say so! Why, we
I have four parades a year!”—Yonkers
Statesman.
Perfectly Secure.
An old farmer once excused himself
for sleeping under the rector's sermons
by observing. “Lor’, sir, when you are
in the pulpit we know it Is all right.”—
London Standard.
He Backed Out.
Dentist—We must kill the nerve of
the tooth. Patient—Then I will go out
of the room. I’m too tender hearted
to witness it—Meggendorfer Blatter.
Where life Is more terrible than
death it is then the truest valor to
dare to live.—Browne.
