township farmer, lost 74 hogs,
ranging in weifiht from 30 to 300

When the British were storming
Badajoz the Duke of Wellington rode
up and, observing an artilleryman par
ticularly active, inquired the man's
name. He was answered "Taylor."
"A very good name too," said the
duke. "Cheer up. my men! Our Tay
lor will soon make a pair of breaches
in the walls!"
At this sally the men forgot their
danger, a burst of laughter broke from
them and the next charge carried the
fortress.—Loudon Answers.
I Kr ~"' Tho Women of Belgium.
No one can travel in Belgium with
out being struck by the extraordinary
activity and prominence of the women.
Over the doors of shops of all descrip
tions the name of the owner or owners
i is frequently followed by "Sisters" or
"Widow." You find them proprietors
of hotels and restaurants. They are of
ten custodians of the churches. They
are employed to tow the boats along
the canal banks. They cut up the meat
in the butchers' shops, and they are
even to be noticed shoeing horses at
the forge.—Liverpool Mercury.
The Word Magnet.
Magnet is derived from the name of
the city of Magnesia, in* Asia Minor,
where the properties of the lodestone
are said to have been discovered. It
has, however, been asserted that the
name comes from Magnes, the name
of a shepherd who discovered magnetic
power by being held on Mount Ida, in
Greece, by its attraction for the nails
in his shoes.
The Mystic Canine.
A barrister once opened his cross
examination of a handwriting expert
by asking. "Where is the dog?"
"What dog?" said the astonished wit
ness.
"The dog." replied the tormentor,
"which the judge at the last assizes
said he would not hang on your evi
deuce!"
Madison and the Constitution.
It is generally understood that James
Madison was the chief author of the
constitution of the United States. Be
yond a doubt the great instrument was
the joint product of the entire con
vention, but from the best accounts
Madison was the man who put it into
shape as we have it today.—New York
American.
Curious Laws In India.
Some of the old laws of Nepal, India,
were curious. Killing cows ranked with
murder as a capital offense, for in
stance. Every girl at birth was mar
ried with great ceremony to a betel
fruit, which was then cast into a sa
cred stream. As the fate of the fruit
was uncertain, the girl was supposed
never to become a widow. To obtain
divorce from a husband a wife had
only to place a betel nut under his pil
low and depart.
In Nepal the day is considered to be
gin when it is light enough to count
the tiles on the roof or distinguish the
hairs on a man's hand against the sky.

Good Advice.
Lord Kitchener's answer to tin
young reporter who asked hi in for his
autograph is wholesome advice for nil
autograph hunters, "Young man. go
and make your own autograph worth
having."—Youth's Companion.
Descriptive.
"Is she homely?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that exactly.
But after taking one look at her no one
would ever think of asking why she
had never married." Detroit Free
Press.
Wailack on the Ballet
The late Lester Wailack once told a
story of his still more famous father.
James W.. that as either an actor or a
manager he could never tolerate the
ballet.
One day there came to him a friend,
a man about town, who said, "My dear
Wailack, it is very curious that you do
not see the beauties of imagination
Bhown by the poses of the ballet" Go
ing on in this strain, the visitor at last
wore out the patience of the actor
manager, who replied:
"Look here, it is bad enough to stand
these absurdities in an opera; but
though I can comprehend people sing
ing their joys, I am hanged if I can
their dancing their griefs."
Realism.
A certain fiction writer applied to a
friend, an interne in a hospital, for
some local color for a tale he had
based upon an occurrence in such an
Institution.
The interne couldn't think of any
thing of moment, but the writer jog
ged his memory thus:
"Surely you know of some realistic
bit here that I could use. '.
"I have it!" suddenly exclaimed the
Interne.
"Yes," eagerly came from the writer
"Here is realism with a vengeance."
said the youthful interne. "One of our
patients walked in his sleep because be
dreamed he had no car fare."—New
York Globe.
Capitals and Armies.
Twice the United States has lost its
capital to a foreign foe. but neither
time did It produce much effect upon
the war. The first time was when
Howe's redcoats swept into Philadel
phia after the battle of Brandywine.
The other occasion was when anoth
er British army seized and burned
Washington. What Howe needed to
end the war in 1777 was not Philadel
phia, but Washington's army, and that
he didn't get. A country's army is
worth a dozeu capitals. The British
captured America's three largest cit
ies, Boston. New York and Philadel
phia. but that availed them little in the
long run.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Quickly Relieved.
Little Hannah had been left in the
library one morning and shortly after
she came running to her mother.
"Mother." she asked, "that Ink that
father writes with isn't indelible ink,
is it?"
"No, dear." was the reply.
"Oh, I'm so glad of that." cried the
child.
"Why, dear?" queried the mother.
"Why," said Hannah, "I've spilt it
all over the library rug."i-Boston Her
