Animals and Instinct.
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

times round the head and thrown to
the ground "f<mms .the first
letter of a future lover's,, name. A
more reeept,. though .inure seri
ous. custom necessitates a bSwl'of wa
ter in' whioti"*nr<? floating a- dumber of
apples. Mothers must drop forks into
tl>e bowl from a distance of about four
feet! 1f the fork pierces an apple the
feat is believed to protect the perform
er^'children from catching cold.—Lon

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. Teacher—Well. then,
what does It mean? Willie —Twins.—
Judge.

Justice will not feel the pain of disap

Landlord is busy repairing a piece of
harness and is carrying on at the same
time a conversation with the village
blacksmith. Enter farmer.
Farmer—Look lien-, landlord! Can

Blacksmith—Man. John, ye're gettin'

horse, but a bottle o' whisky, the man

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.
"What makes your youngest son so
eager for athletics?"
"Filial admiration," answered the
worried looking mother. "He believ
all the stories his father tolls ahc"
the wonderful things he did when i •
was a boy and is trying to equal ti;
record."—Washington Star.
Perseverance.
Perseverance is more prevailing than
violence, and many things which c:iv
not be overcome when they are to
gether yield themselves up when taken
little by little.—Plutarch.
