It Is H mlstnke to imagine that ani mals are prevented by instinct from eating injurious fond. A chicken will drink puiut; a cow partakes of water in which noxious chemicals have been washed; ducks cheerfully swallow snails and choke themselves in the process. No; animals, like children, need watching. Recently numerous cnses of poison ing in ducks, which followed the con sumption of cabbage leaves, have at tracted much attention. A few hours after feeding poisoning has manifest ed Itself by loss of appetite, great weakness, tottering steps and some times death From time immemorial ducks have thrived on cabbage leaves. The poultry farmers were greatly puz zled. Then it was discovered that various caterpillars were concealed in the cab bage leaves; hence these tears. Hut the point is that, far from instinctive ly detecting any danger and behaving accordingly, the ducks consumed great quantities of the leaves with much ap parent relish.—London Answers. Pleasure and Sacrifice. An alert little five-year-old was visit ing a city park with her mother for the first time. She had noticed the beautiful red and white swan boats as they passed through In the morning, and her mother had promised they should come back after the shopping was done and have a ride. Shortly after dinner they stood on the bridge over the lagoon watching the boats below and listening to the cry of the barker as he tried to induce the passing crowds to patronize his swan boats. But when her mother started toward the boat landing little IClsie declared •very vigorously that she did not want togo at all and. as her mother urged her. broke forth in tears. This sudden fear was so different from her former eagerness that her mother could tiot understand it until she noticed the boatman's call. He was crying: "Come along! Come along! Ride clear round the pond. Only 5 cents for ladies and gents! Children thrown in!" Apples as Omens. In part« ot England many quaini^v l perstitions still center round the apple. Apples bung on strings and.twirled be fore the Ore are said to fall ojl in the order that the marriages the vari ous owners will proceed..,, apple eaten before a looking K>s\ s is spp posed to give a view ot the inquirer's future husband, who seen peep ing over milady's shoulder. 4 l'eei.safe ly taken from an apple, tossed three times round the head and thrown to the ground "f<mms .the first letter of a future lover's,, name.

' Early English Scif'fe. In 1370 a report was circulated that "certain galleys, with a multitude of armed men therein, were lying oft the foreland of Tbanet," and an order was at once issued that "every night watch shall be kept between the' Tower of London and Billingsgate.-with forty men at arms and sixty archers." The watch was kept in the following or der: "Tuesday, the drapers and the tailors; Wednesday, the mercers and the apothecaries; Thursday, the fish mongers and the butchers; Friday, the pewterers and the vintners; Saturday, the goldsmiths and the saddlers; Sun day, the ironmongers, the armorers and the cutlers; Monday, the tawers. the spurriers, the bowyers and the gir dlers." Even In 1616 pirate vessels were captured off the Kentish coast, between Broadstairs and Margate.— London Chronicle. The Label Language. "There's a language in hotel labels, the same as in stamps or flowers," said a courier. "All over Europe the hotel porters paste the hotel labels on your trunks in such a way that the porters in future towns will know what sort of a tipper you are. "Dp at the top of the trunk the label means you are generous. In the mid dle it means you're a middling sort Down very low it means you ara no good." Willing to Help. "Ma, what are the folks in our church gettin' up a subscription fer?" "To send our minister on a vacatiou to Europe." "Won't there be no church services while he's gone?" "No, dear." "Ma, I got 51.23 in my bank. Can I give that?"— Cleveland Leader. Franklin and the Balloon. When the balloon was first discov ered some one said to Franklin, "What will ever come of It?" Franklin point ed to a baby in its cradle and said, "And what will ever come of that?" A Truthful Sign. Mr. Longear—By the way, did you ever know that large ears are a sign of generosity? Miss Beauti—of course, Mr. Longear. They are a sign that nature has been generous. The Spelling Class. Teacher—Spell coincidence. Willie. Willie—l can't spell it, but I can tell what it means.

Landlord—Ou, aye, I heard him fine, but he didna' pay for the last bottle he got.—Pearson's Weekly. The Order of the Bath. The last Knights of the Bath made according to the ancient forms were at the coronation of Charles 11., when various rites and ceremonies, one of which was bathing, were enforced. According to Froissart. the court barber prepared a hath, and the can didate for membership in the order, having been undressed hv his esquires, was thereupon placed In the bath, his clothes and collars being the perqui sites of the barber He was then re moved from the water to the words "May this be an honornhle bath to you" and was placed' in ti plain bed quite wet and naked to >dryv . As soon as ho was quite dry he was removed from the bed. dressed in new and rich apparel and conducted by his sponsors to the chapel, where be offered a taper to the honor of (Jod and a penny piece to the honor of the king. Then he went to.the monarch and. kneeling before him. received from the royal swortot tap on the shoulder, the king exclaiming, "Arise, Sir ." and then embraced him, saying, "Be thou a good knight, and true."—London Strand Magazine. England's Patron Saint. [ The story of England's patron saint ! is surrouird»d by a mixture ot truth and fable which defies definite sifting. He is gen era My bvlie-ved to have been , born at Lyaia, l>ut brought up in Cap t padocin. and Suffered .martyrdom in the feign of .Diocletian, A. D. 303. The legend of lite-conflict with the dragon may have arisen, from n symbolical or allegorical representation ot his con test with the pagan persecutors. When our crusaders went to the east in 10!)(i they found St. <Jpocg«». elevated to the rank of warrior saint, with the; title of the "victorious." an'd 1 as they be lieved that they were indebted to him for aid in the siege of Antioch .they adopted him as the patron of soldiers. Edward 111. was thus led to make hnn patron of the Order of the Garter, and so gradually St. tJeorge became the tu telary saint of England.—London Mail. Eve and the Apple. Princess Duleep Singh at a dinner in New York said that she found the American woman a marvel of beauty and the American man a model of good looks and kindness. "The American man." said thecharm ing princess, "is rightly held tip to the world as the pattern husband. In En rope they have a saying about Eve and the afiple which shows how wretched a failure the European bus band is. This saying is unknown in America, I am sure. It would have no point, no application, here in the land of pattern husbands. The say ing is this: '"The evil one didn't give the apple to the man. but to the wom an, because the evil one knew well that the man would eat it all him self. but the woman would go balvea.' " Aisle of the Car In a Railroad Wreck. A veteran railroad man gave a piece of valuable advice not long ago. "If you ever get into a wreck." he said, "and have time to follow out this suggestion remember this: Always stand in the aisle. Most of the In juries that are suffered occur because the victim Is crushed between the seats. If you are in the aisle you may be thrown forward and bruised a lit tle, but there is much less chance of receiving serious hurts. It isn't always possible to get out of your seat before the crasb comes, but if it is follow that advice."—Louisville Courier-Jour nal. A Use For Arithmetic. "My boy," said the head of the lirm, "I've noticed that you have a great head for figures, although you don't seem to be able to spell or write at All. How does it happen?" "I studied 'rithmetic," replied the of fice boy, '"cause 1 wanted to know how to figure de battin' averages." Chicago Record-Herald. A Myth Chaser.
