Dress of the Patrolmen of Londen,
Paris and Berlin.
London patrolmen carry no clubs.
Attached to the middle of the belt
behind is a dark lantern. The cuffs
of their coats have vertical stripes,
blue and white, signifying rank and
distinguished service. During the fre
quent showers and rains they wear
little waterproof capes. Their silent
regulation of street traffic by hand
signal is a realization of perfection.
In Paris the ordinary patrolmen
wear blue caps and ccats and in sum-
mer white duck trousers. They carry
short swords, rather as an emblem of
authority, but in extreme danger use
the flat side as a club. In a downpour
of rain the Paris policeman hangs his
cap on a hook in the back side of his
belt and draws over his head the hood
of a short blue cape of heavy cloth.
This hooded cape is called a capuchin
and in its longer form, reaching to the
knees, is used by civilians as well 'n
cold or rainy weather. Accordingly at
such times the streets of Paris seem
to be alive with cowled monks. The
London plan for controlling vehicles
is used on the Paris boulevards.
policemen detailed for such duty wear
white gloves and signal with white
clubs.
German policemen wear
and have a distinctly martial air.—

FOLLOWED HER LEAD.
The Chinese Cook Knew Which Eggs
Should Be Discarded.
“Chinese need to be taught to be
more self reliant,” said the woman
who employs a Chinese cook. “Yester-
day I ordered my cook to make a pud-
ding for dinner, stopping a minute to
see if he followed my instructions, for
I had taught him to make this particu-
lar pudding. He had seen me smell
the eggs before putting them into a
bowl, and he began by putting the first
egg to bis nose. He seemed on the
right road, so 1 left the kitchen for a
minute.
“Returning, I discovered that he had
used five eggs instead of three, as I
had taught him, Taking him to task
for not following my instructions, he
answered: ‘Yes; three here (pointing
to the bowl), two here (indicating
where he had thrown the others).
Same as you.’
“It dawned on me that when I had
taught him to make the pudding I had
found the second and third eggs that
1 had broken to be bad and bad
thrown both away. He had simply
done what he had seen me do—after
smelling the second and third egg he
had thrown them away.”—New York
Sun.
A Nabch.
“Rich as a nabob” is an expression
not infrequently heard, but why a “na-
bob" should thus be associated with
wealth and who he was precisely is
not so generally known, Under the
great moguls the provinces of India
were administered by deputies known
by the designation of “nawab,” who
commonly amassed much money and
lived in great splendor. The office and
the title continued under British rule
in the orient, but gradually the word
became corrupted into “nabob” and
was applied generally to all natives
who had grown rich. More latterly it
was bestowed — often In a derisive
sense—upon Europeans who, having
made large fortunes in India, returned
home and spent their money in a lux-
urious and ostentatious way.—London
Seraps.
iceberg Designs.
All the architecture of the world is
represented in nature's iceberg de-
signs. Sometimes a little berg will
have the appearance of an Arab's
white tent as it rides on a desert look-
ing sea; another, its sharp outlines
softened in the vaporous atmosphere,
will appear like a domed mosque in
green marble. A cluster of Chinese pa-
godas comes drifting slowly down the
current, followed by a stately Gothic
cathedral, early style. Then comes a
coliseum, and beyond a huge man-of-
war floats down the current, its stem
submerged, with foam grandly break-
ing over it, the stern seventy-five feet
aloft.
Then and Now.
The difference between the relations
of parents to their children now and In
the days before us is well illustrated
by the story of the old general who
was talking to a young lady whom he
had taken in to supper. Before them
on a plate was a chicken. “After all,
general,” said the young lady, “there
is nothing in the world like the liver
wing of a chicken.”
“Well,” he replied, “do you know I
never tasted ome, for when 1 was
young my parents ate it, and now my
children do!"—Congregationalist.
Straightening the Back.
It is the custom in certain parts of
Scotland among the woman laborers
in the field, when their backs begin to
ache from bending low while working
with short handled hoes, to lie down,
their faces upon the ground, and allow
others to step upon the lower part of
their backs with one foot several times.
This operation is known as “straight
ening the back.”—Chicago News.
A Charitable World.
“Your money must be a burden %o
you at times.”
“Yes,” answered Mr. Dustin Stax,
“but you'd be surprised to see how
many I find who are willing to bear
other people's burdens.”—Washington
Star.

FAMOUS BULLS.
Gems From the House of Commons
and From the Pulpit. |
The house of commons, as might
have been expected, has contributed a
fair share to a very amusing collection
of “bulls.” It was in one of the de-'
bates of that body that the late Colo- |
nel Saunderson described Eastern Rou
mella as “man enough to take her
stand” in defense of a certain threat-
ened right.
An Irish member of parliament once
declared that of the outrages reported
from Ireland three-quarters were ex-
aggerated and half had no foundation
in fact, a statistical computation that
reminds one of another Irish member
of parliament who declared excitedly
to a group of fellow members, “I want
to convince you that there Isn't any
truth in half the lies they are telling
about Ireland.”
The biography of Dean Hook recalls
a certain minor canon who used to
preach at the cathedral when Hook
was a boy at Winchester school. In
one of his sermons there occurred the
striking reflection that “what is impos-
sible can never be and very seldom
comes to pass.”
Another discourse was long remem-
bered for its pathetic lamentation on
the degeneracy of the age: “O tempora!
O mores! What times we live In! |
Little boys and girls run about the’
streets cursing and swearing before
But
the Church of England has no monop-
oly of these violent contrasts, for it
was at a City Temple meeting not!
many years ago that a speaker ex-|
claimed: “I find my time is already !
gone. Therefore 1 will keep within
it.”"—Windsor Magazine.

TERRORS OF THE JUNGLE
The Mosquitoes of Africa Are Worse
Than the Lions.
“The African mosquitoes intoxicate
you. They inject so much poison into
you that you are dazed, your eyes roll
and you stagger and speak thickly.
In a word, you're drunk,” said a mis-
sionary,
“In the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
| mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd
set up my mosquito net with the ut-
most care. I'd clamp down its edges
with valises and boxes. I'd light in-
side it three green wood fires, filling it
with a bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
“Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native to-
bacco, and I'd long miserably in that
hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn.
“Despite all my precautions quite
200 or 300 mosquitoes would get in-
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like a whirlwind in there.
It couldi’'t have been worse. Their
noise and their nipping made me
feverish—made me really delirious at
times.
“At last, in exhaustion, I'd get a few
hours of troubled sleep, awakening
for breakfast drunk from the poison
injected by hundreds of tiny needles
into my veins,

giraffes that trouble the African hunt-

Superstitions of the Cingalese.
An old Cingalese woman who lived
in an ordinary native hut by herself
died and was buried. On the follow-
ing day a large iguana (a species of
lizard which attains great size) entered
the compound of a gentleman living
close by and attacked his poultry.
Hearing the noise and commotion, he
came out and on ascertaining the
cause got his gun and shot the iguana.
No sooner had he done this than there
arose a great uproar from the rela-
tives of the old woman, who declared
that he had killed her, because her
spirit had passed into the lizard, in
proof of which they pointed tri-
umphantly to the fact that it had nev-
er before been seen in the vicinity and
only appeared after her death. Rupees
finally appeased the outraged feelings
of the -old woman's descendants. —

The Elephant's Trunk.
The long trunk of the elephant is
very, very wonderful. The neck of
four footed animals is usually long to
enable them to reach their food with-
out difficulty, but the elephant has a
short neck to enable him more easily
to support the weight of his huge
head and heavy tusks. The long trunk
helps him to get his food, and the
trunk is to an elephant what a long
neck is to other animals. — Chicago
Journal.

the money is forfeited.—London Mail.
