which he traveled (and in which there |
were only an old gentleman and him-
self) was stopped by a single highway- |
man.
The old gentleman pretended to be
asleep, but Shuter resolved to be even |
with him. Accordingly, when the high-
wayman presented his pistol and com- |

returned he, with an idi-

pressibly vacant. “Oh, lor’, «ir! They
never trust me with any, for uncle

and all, your honor.”
Upon which the highwayman gave
him a few curses for his stupidity,
complimented the old gentleman with
a smart slap on the face to awaken
him and robbed him of every shilling

Captain John Smith and Rats.
The intrepid navigator Captain John
Smith in the course of his journeying
in the Bermudas had some experience
of the rat as a destructive force. “But
the great God of heaven,” he writes,
“caused such an increase of silly rats
in the space of (wo years so to abound

The Traveler's Joy.
The cream of tartar tree, which is
also called the “sour gourd,” grows in
northern Australia and has a trunk
which measures from seventy to
eighty-five feet in circumference, but
which is only twenty or thirty feet

The Foolish Railroads.
The stage fare from Huntsville to
i stage carried the mail, and it
to go. When the roads were so mud-
dy horses could not pull the stage a
double yoke of oxen took their places.
It was slow traveling, but they got
through. The steamboat fare from
Glasgow to St. Louis in the early fif-
ties was $7. That included stateroom
and meals, and if the boat was held |
up a week or two on a sand bar the |
accommodations went on without e - |
tra charge. The steamboat owners |
never believed the railroads could suc-
cessfully compete with them. The way |
they looked at it people wouldnt be |
willing to travel 100 or 200 wiles tied

“Then how are they going to find room
for an orchestra and a dance?” an old
river captain wanted to know. “No
place to eat or drink; uo room to move
about; just sit still all day long on a |
little wooden bench. Why, it's down- |
right foolishness!” —Macon Republican. | :
The Eye on the Red Flag. :
There are many odd bits of bunting | -
unfolded to the breeze in New York
harbor, but the oddest of all perhaps |
is the ensign that flutters from the
Battery sea wall promptly at noon
every day and then disappears up the
North river. It is a triangular flag
with a flaming red background, from
which stands out in bold relief a great
cyclopean eye. Inside the pilothouse

passing craft through a long telescope.
This is the supervisor of the harbor.
His duties are to see that the regula-

that the channels are kept free of ob-
structions and that the city's docks
and ferries are being looked after a:

board his vessel the unique ensign is |
raised. It signifies to all nautical folk: |
“I've got my eye on you. Watch out!”

A titled Englishman was speaking of
the impoverished nobility of the old
world.
“What a German friend of mine sald
of his family is true of too many fami-

Salting a Diamond Mine.
A man in South Africa while walk-
ing one day over his property with a
party of prospectors suggested that
they assay some of the soil. In the
search that ensued eight rough dia-
monds were found, and offers began
to fly through the air at a rapid rate
for the land, when the host's wife
called out to her husband, “Why,
John, where are the other two?’ The
sequel to the story is left to the im-
agination.—Boston Record.

Saving Cuff Addresses.
Folded up with the laundry bill was
another slip of paper, on which were |
several lines of fine writing.
“What is this?” asked the new cus- |
tomer.
“Those are the addresses we copied |
off your cuffs,” said the clerk. “We |
alweys make a record of the addresses
we find on cuffs and return them with
the laundry, so if our customers have |
not put them down any place else they

When There Was More of It.
An old chap with hardly a bair on
his head snapped at the young barber
on the completion of a hair cut:
“You are not the thorough workman

take a good half hour to cut my hair.”

The Tallest Trees.
The California **Big Tree’ —Sequoia Wel-
lingtouia--sometimes grows to the height
of from 300 to 325 feet, with a trunk twen-
ty-fire or more feet in diameter. The tall.
est American tree is the red wood —Sequoia
sempervirens— which in some instances bas
attained the height of 400 feet or even more.
In Australia the tallest trees are found in
Vietoria. There are, indeed, records of
Australian trees approximatiog 500 feet in
height, but these are taken to he exageera-
tions. [It seems well enough established,
| however. that there are trees in Anstralia
| which tower noward of 258 feet iuto the

fall not much «hott of 100 feet in height.
