plum pudding were not lacking, for
these delicacies were as popular in
Thebes as was the broiled and salted

strong barley wine to cheer the spir-

fn saving. They who have never had

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 |

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

The Moral.
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-

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.
