Tricking a Game Warden.
When a game warden bought seven
pounds of meat and paid u dollar a
pound for It he th#ught he was get
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against a man in Herkimer couuty
whom he supposed to be a chronic
violator of the game law. The pro
tector found this particular piece of
meat in an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted It for venison.
"What will you take for that chunk
of meat?" he asked the owner.
"That's a tender piece of meat," re- !
plied the woodsman, with a wink at
the stranger, "and meat is dear way
back up here. I wouldn't part with it
for less 'n a dollar a pound."
"Well, give me a pound."
"Nope; couldn't do that. It would
epile the piece for cookln' to do that."
The game warden had to take the
whole thing, and he paid $7 for it, sat
isfied that he had caught one of the
worst game law violators in the Adi
rondacks. Down to Albany he sent
the meat for the forest, fish and game
commission to analyze to prove it ven
ison. But it wasn't. It was veal.
The backwoodsmen tell the story as
one of the best jokes ever played on a
game protector.—New York Tribune.
Columns of St. Mark.
Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of St. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in 1120
and standing in front of the quay and
landing steps of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes of
Venice for many years. At first they
lay prostrate for a long time, while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But a reward offered by the doge at
length Induced one Nicolo Barratiero
(Nick the Blackleg) to offer his serv
ices. He succeeded and claimed as
his reward the privilege of carrying
on between the columns games of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law.
To neutralize tills as much as possible
It was enacted that all public execu
tions should take place on the same
spot. One column is surmounted by
the Lion of St. Mark. The other car
ries a fine figure of St. Theodore, the
patron saint of the city, who stands
upon a crocodile and with sword and
buckler gives token that the motto of
Venice is "Defense, Not Defiance."

A letter from a concern in Monte
video, South America, to a Chicago
firm:
"My dear sir: We know; you ask for
agents. We can offer you this. Our
office has the representation many ar
ticles we can offer the representation
your's. We ought to kuow you; we
have placemen and gadders whoso
business is only to sell our articles.
Our business is diffused till some bra
sillan villages; where the amerienn ar
ticles are worth of the hinghest atten
tion. Our mind is that, the diffuse of
the news is the best middle for the

middles for its circulation; we have
decided the appear of The Commercial
Review next issue where you can be |
felow labourers; and we with no one j
expendituru; that is; to say always;
you dispense us any cassines."

He Found His Man.
Englishmen are rather fond of poll- ]
ing fun at those parts of Great Britain I
where other than the Anglo-Saxon ele- J
ment. is dominant, and a favorite sulh !
jet for jest is the prevalence of the \
Jones family in Wales.
Oue of the colleges of Oxford univer- ]
sity was much resorted to by Welsh- !
men. A man from another college |
looking for a friend went Into its quad- i
rangle and shouted, "Jones!"
All the windows looking on the quad- j
rangle flew open.
"I mean John Jones," said the '
searcher.
Half the windows closed.
"I mean the John Jones who has a j
toothbrush," he explained.
All the windows closed but one.—

A Stitch of Pain.
A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain
In the muscles of the side like the
piercing of a needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise Is taken im
mediately after a hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nec
essary for the proper working of the
muscles In exercise is engaged in an
other direction—namely, in assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that Interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer- j
else, whether it be debility or the proc- j
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising j
from overexertion. Is np't to cause this |
spasmodic pain.

The Magpie Ceiling.
One of the apartments in the an
<-i. Nt royal paiace at ('intra, Portugal,
is known as (lie Hull of Magpies.
Painted In the arabesque celling; is; to
In- round a swarm of magpies. Each
lias in the mouth a scroll, on which,
painted in red on a white ground, ure
the words, "l'or hem." The story
runs that King Jolin of Portugal was
making love to one of the maids of
honor in this chamber and was sur
prised by the queen. His majesty made
the best of the circumstances and ex
plained lo tin' queen, "10 por hem tfiinka
sacre" ("Oh, it is nothing at all. it is
quite right. There Is no harm In it"). As
to whether the queen was satisfied the
legend is silent, but the ladies of the
court were deeply interested and were
constantly saying to one another with
n smile, "l'or hem! l'or hem!" The
king thought it time to net, so lie com
missioned an artist to paint on the
ceiling as many magpies as there were
talkative ladies about the court, each
holding in the beak the ribbon with
the words, "l'or betn." —London Globe.
Fate of Portugal's Homer.
"The I.uslad" is one of the noblest
records ever written of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
teenth century, which lias been called
the heroic age of Portugal, and its
main feature Is the rounding of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vaseoda (Jama,
while a most Interesting episode is
the crowning after death of Inez de
Castro as queen of Portugal. "The
Lusiad" took its name from Lusius,
who was said to have founded Lisbon.
Its author was born about 1520, and
his career, whieh began brilliantly,
was blighted by the death of a broken
heart of the lady of his love, for whose
sake lie was banished from the land.
He wrote "The I.uslad" in his banish
ment and was recalled In 1571, losing
on the way all his property except his
poem. Pensioned at first by the king,
this great epic poet of Portugal died
in great poverty in 1570, when his
patron was also deud.
Down In a Coal Mine.
To the ear accustomed to the con
stant sound of a living world the still
ness of a coal mine, where the miles
of crosscuts and entries and the un
yielding walls swallow up all sounds
and echo is a silence that Is complete,
but as one becomes accustomed to the
silence through long hours of solitary
work souikls become audible that
would escape an ear less trained. The
trickling murmur of the gas, the spat
tering fall of a lump of coal loosened
by some mysterious force from a
cranny in the wall, the sudden knock
ing and breaking of a stratum far up
in the rock above or the scurry of a
rat off somewhere in the darkness
strike on the ear loud and startling.
The eye, too, becomes trained to pene
trate the darkness, but the darkness Is
so complete that there is a limit—the
limit of the rays east by the pit lamp.
—Joseph Husband in Atlantic.
Portuguese and Codfish.
It is an interesting fact that the fish
ermen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing industry on
the "banks" off the northern coast of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland is unabated—in
fact, it is a national Portuguese dain
ty. It Is found in every Utile grocery
shop, hard and brown as a board. A
number of Portuguese have made their
home on the i lands to the south of
the mainland of M: ssachusetts. and
there the dark eves of the Iberian
maiden, raven locks ami a certain pic
turesque element in dress are not in
frequent. This connection with Por
tugal dates back many years, the
ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging
the distance over sea and returning
with Portuguese crows. Exchange.
Adam and Eve.
"I hope this expulsion of ours is not
going to injure our social position,"
said Eve ruefully.
"I guess not," replied Adam. "They
can't stop us from being one of the
very tirst families, whatever they do."
"I don't find our names here in the
'Social Register,'" said Eve, looking
the volume over.
"Look under 'Dilntory Domiciles,' my
love," said Adam as he went out and
named the jackass after himself.—
