how much work he does even on
his chill days. On Monday after
the sleet he went to the woods
and cut cord wood the noon
hour, when he was stopped by a
chill. During the morning he
cut cords of wood. At noon
he lay down before the fire and
when he had shaken off his chill

afternoon was spent in cording
up the wood he had previously
cut, and when night be had
laid up cords as an afternoon's
work. So the record for the
day three and a half
cords of wood cut from the
stump, one chill shaken off, and
and a half cords of wood laid
up Mr. Garrison says that to
cut and put up five cords of
of wood is a light day's
work. He loves to feel his keen
reaching deep into the
timber at every stroke. Mr.

frequent mention of them in ancient
-writings and representations of
them in ancient vignettes. They
were placed in the center of choirs
in large ecclesiastical buildings as
early as the seventh century, and
the choristers were arranged in rows
on the right and left of them. They
are of various forms, but the eagle

framework on which the large and
heavy volumes used in the services
were placed. There was probably
some reference in the thoughts of
those who first used them to the
fact that the soared to the
most elevated regions and therefore
in a fanciful way would be likely to
carry the words of the readers or
choristers nearer to heaven than
they might otherwise ascend.
In some instances the inclined
framework on the back of the bird
was made to accommodate two
books, one above the other. fur-
with movable brackets to
light the reader. Frequently the
eagle is represented standing on an
orb and sometimes on a dragon, and
the base of the stem on which it is
placed is often raised on lions. A
more simple form without the intro-
of the eagle consists of an
inclined board raised to n con-
height on a stem. Next to
this are examples that have two
slanting book boards, which meet
at their upper edges like n roof, and
there ore others with clever group-
of four desks or book boards.
These are generally of oak or
some other bard wood. They near-
all turn on pivots, and some of
them are enriched with much

A Royal Flirtation.
Perhaps the most striking exam-

by Queen Elizabeth's
flirtation with the Duke of
It was most important for
the queen, threatened us she was by
the hostility of Spain, then the
leading power in to secure
and maintain the friendship of
France. The reigning king, Henry
III., was willing to form alliance
with England if Elizabeth would
marry his younger brother.
The queen promised to do this,
though she had not the slightest in-
of keeping her word. She
invited the duke to England, carried
on with him a prolonged courtship,
presented him to the court as her
affianced husband and even on one
occasion condescended to kiss him
in public, she thus kept France in
a good temper until the danger from
Spain had for the lime passed
