What la a Mule?
A queer customs ruling relates to
that noble animal, the mule. An
American contractor took some mules
into Mexico for use upon some con
struction work there, and upon the
completion of the contract brought
the mules back to Texas. The cus
toms officials Insisted upon bis paying
duty, but the contractor claimed free
entry for the mules as "articles ol
American growth returned without
being advanced In value." The olli
clals declared, however, that the board
of appraisers has sustained them,
that mules are not "articles." What,
then, are they? If they are persons,
they are certainly entitled to come
back borne. Since the decision that a
hen is not a bird, the customs service
has got its natural history fearfully
and wonderfully mixed.
Get Close to Nature.
Says a philosopher: "Observe na
ture. When you come to a barnyard
go In and see the pigs and fowls
and the cows. Climb a fence now and
then and go into the fields and look
at the crops or the cattle. I know of
no place where there is more philos
ophy than in a barnyard. You can
learn much from animals. Within
their circle they know much more
than we do."
Good Hint.
Those who keep up a regular corre
spondence with several friends will
find it a good plan to keep envelopes
addressed to each of them In some
convenient place, and Into these to
slip newspaper cuttings and notes of
things which will Interest each par
ticular correspondent. When the time
comes to write the letter it will be
found that the task Is practically ac
complished. Sourcec of Her Cold.
As papa didn't come home for lunch,
mamma and little Katherine always
ate a cold repast, which Katherine
didn't like. One morning the little girl
woke up with a very hoarse voice.
"Where could you have caught that
cold, dear?" asked mamma. "I think
it was from eating that cold meat yes
terday, mamma."
Nature's Beauty Hidden.
Nature, as we all know, is never at
home to the mere sightseer or idle
spectator. Stare at her straight In the
face, and you will see nothing; it Is
only the casual side glance which Is
rewarded by the sight of anything
new or substantial. Heury C. Merwin.
Didn't Tell the Whole Truth.
A woman preacher says that her
sex Is to blame for most of the di

and state that if it were not for her
sex there wouldn't be any divorces.

Antelope Increasing in Idaho.

amount of antelope and moose in this
State. The antelope are on the In
crease, according to Information
which has been received at the office
of the Game Warden, particularly in
the Mackay district, where they have
recently been seen In large numbers.
Despite the protection on moose
thty are still extremely scarce in
this State' and are to be found only
in the few Isolated valleys of Idaho
which have not been taken up by
ranchmen and where they are being
protected by the farmers in the hills
near by.
The antelope are increasing fast in

is afforJed, and It Is said they have
fared extremely well for the last few

MONEY WEARS OUT QUICKLY.
Wastage Through Circulation on Brit
ish Gold and Silver Coins.
H is the duty of each loyal subject
not merely to refuse gold coin that is
under a certain weight but to break
It
"Every person," the act reads,
who shall by himself or others, cut,
break or deface such coin tendered
to him In payment and the person
tendering the same shall bear the
loss."
Hut in spite of this act it is a
risky business interfering with coins
which you may suspect to be under
weight or spurious. Some months
ago a Grimsby woman offered a half
sovereign In payment of goods to a
local shopkeeper. The latter put the
coin in a testing machine, and as it
broke in two, refused to take it.
The coin, however, was pronounced
by experts to be perfectly genuine,
and when the case was taken Into
a court of law the shopkeeper was
ordered to refund ten shillings to the
cus'omer.
Money, both gold and silver, wears
out at a startling rate. It Is reckoned
that there is usually a hundred mil
linn pounds In gold coin in Kngland,
a very large proportion of which Is
locked In the strong rooms of banks.
Yet of that which Is In active circula
tion the wastage is so great that dur
ing every twelve months seventy
thousand pounds' worth of gold and
silver are rubbed off into line dust.
