Cleopaica, irall and fragile, lke mapy thic peohle at heartily, and her guests wondered at the rarities of which they partook. There was every- thing there that gastronomy could think of, excep: mutton, an exception in favor of the divine Ammon with the hamiike head. Even the roast beef and plum pudding were not lacking, for these delicacies were as popular in Thebes as was the broiled and salted goose, with the good brown stout, and strong barley wine to cheer the spir- its and assist the digestion. Initiative, “It's the man that's a-trying sonte- thing aew that gets laughed at every time. And he is generally right—the rest are wrong. Somebody has got to tegin and be guyed like & fool and hide and starve, and eat his heart out—and then after years and years the rest of the world that was too lazy to do its own thinking comes astrut- ting up to pat him on the back and in- vite him to dinner—and evervhody comes in on the chorus: “rf ‘old you =o!” Pride in Saving. Only well-bred trained people who are used to having things take pride fn saving. They who have never had breeding or training and have never been used to haviag anything know nothiug of saving. Most menials and TLeggars and spendthrifts believe squandering and big tipping and wide spending are a sign of big folk; aye, even of decency. Wake Up, Nick. Nicola Naumoff, the Russian, win has just reached the age of 21, having murdered an insured fiancee for a se- ductive countess in romantic Venice, has, in his confession, related how this notorious dame had a little way of extinguishing her cigarettes on his bare flesh—juet to see him wince, as ghe loved him best when he suffered. Ancestor of the Dog. It is supposed by some that the lit- tle wolf of India was the original an- cestor of the dog. It is the only wild animal possessing the salient eye- brow, or crest of the dog. The little wolf has not only the dog's eyebrow crest, but all the canine characteris. tics, and none of the characteristics of the wolf, To Clean Alabaster.

Generally the trouble with a man who doesn't get anywhere is that he has not enough confidence in his judg- ment to bet anything on it. ULES FCR RIGHT Zrederic Harrison, Who Is Alive at | Discovery of Woman Eighty, Gives His Views on Subject. Frederic Harrison, barrister, his- torian, philosopher, publicist, positiv-' ist and anti-woman's suffragette, cele- brated his eightieth birthday recently in London. In spite of his great age, Mr. Harrison is still hale and hearty, and his intellectual activity is oc- casionally evidenced in acutely rea- soned letters to the press. A self- disciplinarian, he attributes his phys- | fecal amd mental fitness to the rigid | observance of his own Spartan “rules of life.” Here they are: “Touch not | tobacco, spirit, nor any unclean thing. | Rise from every meal with an appe- tite. Walk daily two hours. Sleep nightly seven hours. Be content with | what you have.” Playing cards and tobacco are Mr. ! Harrison's aversions. “Men and wom- | en,” he says, “who are too duil to take pleasure in talk, too ignorant to read, | too lazy to dance, deaf to music, blind to art, unable to keep themselves ... to help maintain his parents or awake, betake themselves to cards.” | yp. thers and sisters.

WHAT CHICKENS MUST SUFFER Astonishing What They Pass Through Before Reaching the Real and Ultimate Consumer. “If this poor chicken knew how much I was enjoying him,” remarked | a bright woman at a country inn not so long ago, “he would have been glad to die.” That remark might have been good for that particular chicken. He did not have far to travel until he reached his ultimaty destination. His first owner brought him to the inn via his own automobile and collected for him. Then it was but a step to the frying pan. But it is astonishing what some poor chickens have to suffer. First they are killed. Then their lean little car- casses are placed in storage, and be- fore they reach the real and ultimate as a dozen profits. As a rule it may be stated that the more profits a chicken acumulates the less he is worth, How some of them hold together long enough to reach the ENGLISH JUDGE consumer they have to carry as many What a “Twister” ls.

Prof. John Spencer Bassett, author of “A Life of Andrew Jackson,” is ac- | customed to illustrate his lectures at | Smith college with incidents in Amer- ican history. On one occaslon he re- peated a well-known story in regard to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a moral which aroused peculiar interest. Douglas, as a narrative runs, was once sitting in a profound sleep in the corridor of the capitol when Adeline Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by. She did not know the sleeper, but was struck with compassion on seeing such a splendidly intellectual face under such conditions, and stooping down laid her handkerchief over it to | protect it from the flies. Douglas on awakening found the handkerchief, | sought the owner, and 2ventually married her. There was a pause, and then the professor added: “You la- dies, the moral of this story is: Have | your pocket handkerchief marked.” | Water Elephants in Africa. The scientific world is still discus. sing the reported discovery of a new mammal in the Congo state, a mam- mal known to the natives as the “wa- ter elephant.” M. Le Petit of the Paris Museum of Natural History re- cently reported that he saw five of these animals plunging into the wa- ter on the northern shore of Lake Leopold the Second. He stated that they appeared to have shorter bodies, smaller ears, and relatively longer necks than ordinary elephants, and apparently were not possessed of trunks. He estimated their height at about six feet. It has been pointed out that the description of the water elephant accords almost exactly with foner Davis, visited Carr square on the evening of the first band concert, after the new order went into effect, , thinking to see in the polyglot audi- ence there a typical example of the musses’ familiarity with the national air. As soon as the first notes sounded the men in the party removed their hats, but all were alert for develop- ments around them. Nobody appeared to notice the music except one big (German, who gave vent to several dis- gusted grunts as it proceeded. Think- ing to test him, Mr. Davis asked if he knew what that piece was. “Know him? Ain't I a Cherman? Dot’s ‘Die Wacht am Rhein,’ but mein Gott, how dey Blays him!”—St. Louis Times. Fashion ls Fashion. “Why do ail the women walk like ducks this year?” was the question put to a friend of mine, years since, by a younger brother. He did not know that a quite new kind of corset had suddenly, during the summer months, “come in.” To wear it meant change of gait and pos- ture, eventually actual change of shape. Yet we all wore it—and doubt- less went on praising the Venus of Melos as we did so.- Th notion that, after we have learned from the scientists to deal in evolutionary periods of millions of vears, we ought not naively to expect to alter the human form in a season or two, never occurred, I fancy, to any of us. “Business is business,” men are credited with saying, when invited to apply abstract laws of honor. “Fash- ion is fashion,” women would surely say if invited to apply abstract laws of beauty.—Atlantic. Friend of Dumas. There lives at St. Die, France, in a little commune near Rehaupal an old woman of good figure and undimmed eye, notwithstanding the fact that she was borne 111 years ago. Cente- narians are not at all uncommon about the Vosges. Her name is Mme, Viry and for a long period she was in the service of Alexandre Dumas pere. She has many recollections of the time spent at the house of the author of the “Trois Mousquetaires,” and she describes Dumas as an excellent man ‘but very fond of a good dinner, fowls being his specialty.
