Archbishop liowley. who lived in the
eighteenth ceutury. most unjustly got
the reputatlou of swearing like a
trooper. The explanation Is that the
Duke of Cumberland, who fought the
battle of Culloden and who was uu
speakably profane, once went in quest
of the primate to get his asslstauce
about a certain bill which he disliked.
He returned to the house of lords, say
ing: "It's all right my lords. I've seen
the archbishop, and he says he'll see
the promoters to before he'll vote
for the bill!" As a matter of fact
all the profanity had been supplied
quite In the ordinary run of conversa
tion by the duke.—London Tatler.

The water bottle for getting water

and twelve or fourteen Inches long,
with upward opening valve at the top
and bottom, connected together on a
central stem. Lugs are cast on the
side of the cylinder for conveniently
securing it at any point along the
length of the line by whtrh it is to
be lowered Into the sea. During the
lowering of the line the valves of the
bottle are kept unsealed by the pas
sage of the water through the cylin
der during Its descent, but when the
motion is reversed the valves seat
themselves and are locked by the de
scent of a small propeller In the
framework above the upper valve,
which rides idly on a sleeve during the
lowering of the bottle, but descends
along a screw thread to press the
valves upon their seats when the line
commences to be hauled up. A speci

the water bottle has descended is thus
brought to the surface confined with

How She Caught Them.
"How did you happen to get four
times as many letters as I did?" said
one washerwoman who bad advertised
for work by the day to another who
had advertised for the same thing.
"Wound up my advertisement by
saying I was on a diet." said the lucky
one "That "OR a diet' notice goes
right to the heart of stingy souls who
are trying to cut down expenses. They
hate to figure on a washerwoman's
meals and jump at the chance of get

"You can pretty safely bet." began

Kisaing In Iceland.
Among old time laws against kissing
those of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Banishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
man's wife, either with or without bet
consent. The same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried wo
man against her will if it could be
proved that ehe had consented to be
kissed the offender was still liable to
a fine of a great quantity of cloth for
each offense.
