Hen Trickery.
Since Australia is at the antipodes
from us the hens there naturally lay
best from May to November, contrary
to the habit of hens here. It is now sug
gested that if a hen after her annual
laying period in the southern hemi
sphere were rushed across the equator
to the United States she might lay dur
ing the rest of the year at the same
rate and thus establish a new "record"
for a year's production. Still, it looks
like a mean trick to play on a poor hen.

Animal Etiquette.
No one who is at all observant or
the ways of animals can have failed
te notice how gentle large dogs, like
the SL Bernard and the Great Dane,
are to their smaller canine fellows. It
la rare that a big dog turns upon one
of the little fellows, no matter how
aggravating and snappy the latter may
be. Instead, he invariably treats the
amefl dog's antics with unruffled and
dignified tolerance. For there is a
recognized code of etiquette unions
animals, if you please, quite as much
aa there is among human beimrs. In
truth, there are not a few respects in
which the animals can give points on
politeness and good behavior to man
himself.
All Wrong.
The popular actor had become a sol
dier. In a hotly contested skirmish he
distinguished himself by his conrage
and gallantry.
"Well, well,", said he at the end of
the action, "what do you think of
that? Not a soul's applauding."—New

Head For Business.
"Has your boy Josh a head for busi

"Yep," replied Farmer Corntosse 1 .
"He's always talkin' about makin'
money. I kind o' wish his hands was

bHstnee*."—Washington Star.
His Maternal Grandma.
A devoted father after a day's ab
sence was met by his two little sons.
"Have you been good boys?"
Silence.
"Have you been good boys ?"
"No, papa. I called grandma a bad
word," said the five-year-old, turning
scarlet
"Is it possible? What did you call
your grandma?"
"I called her a human being."
The father, with a mighty effort,
maintained his gravity and closed the
scene decorously. "I must forgive you

Nothing New.
"I see," said Bilkins, "that a French
scientist has discovered a method for
staving off old age."
"Well, what of it?" demanded WII
- "There's nothing new in that A
man can stave off old age by jumping
off the Eiffel tower, or dropping a
lighted match in a powder barrel while
Sitting on it or by rocking the boat
when he's out in the water, or by rid
ing over Niagara falls sitting astride
of a log. Those French scientists make
me tired with their hullabaloo over
nothing."—Harper's Weekly.

The Elder Booth.
A theatrical man, in un appreciation
of Junius Brutus Booth, declares that
"intellectually he stood above any ac
tor of his own or any other time." In
justification of this praise these claims
arc made. Booth had a knowledge of
se manship acquired as a midshipman,
was an expert printer, had studied law
and medicine, was an acute theologian
and spoke eight languages fluently, be

The Senate Barber Shop.
Here's an odd thing about the Unit
ed States senate barber shop: Although
the number of senators has hardly in
creased at all. the number of shaves
nac, increased at a surprising rate in
recent years. Tbe reason is simply
that the senate is now inhabited large
ly by comparatively young men with
smooth faces or wearing mustaches at
most. and they are obliged to get
shaved every little while, whereas the
old style senator with a riot of whisk
era never had occasion to visit a barber
shop except every few months to get
his hair trimmed.—Cincinnati Enquirer

England's Roman Amphitheater.
Dorchester possesses the best pre
served Roman amphitheater in Eng
land, in which over 10,000 people gath
er d in 1705 to witness the burning of
a woman who had murdered her hus
band. Dorchester was a place of im
p< tance as early as the Roman occu
pation. and at a later date it had an
ui nviable association with Judge Jef

The River Tigris.
The river Tigris appears in the book
of Genesis as Hiddekel, one of the four
"heads" into which the river of Eden
was parted. The name by which we
know it does not exactly "mean" tiger,
for the correct way of putting it is
that both "tiger" and "Tigris" mean in
Persian swift as an arrow. "Euphrates"
is a Greek version of the Persian Hu
frat, which signifies "the good abound
ing" and represents the old Asiatic Bu
rat or Purat, akin to our verb "pour."
Long Livod Tennysons.
The Tennyson family was noted for
its longevity. Miss Matilda Tennyson
died in her ninety-ninth year; Charles
was seventy-one at the time of his
death; Mary, seventy-four; Emilia, sev
enty-eight; Alfred, poet laureate, eigh
ty-three; Frederick, ninety-one; Arthur,
eighty-five; Horatio, eighty, and Ce
cilia, ninety-two.
A Very Old Rule.
The oldest mathematic book in the
world Is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" in the British museum, pro
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the
period between 2000 and 1700 B. C.
This "Papyrus Rhind" was translated
by Elsenlohr of Leipzig, and it was
found to contain a rule for making a
square equal in area to a given circle.
It was not put forth as an original dis
covery, but as the transcript of u
treatise 500 year still, which
sends u back to approximately
B. C., when cntheraattttans
awlved, or thought they had solved, lb;-
problem of squaring the circle.
The Hungarian Crown.
The Hungarian crown worn at their
accession by the emperors of Austria
as kings of Hungary is the Identical
one made for Stephen and used at his
coronation over 800 years ago. The
whole is of pure gold, except the set
tings, and weighs almost exactly four
teen pounds. The settings above allud
ed to consist of fifty-three sapphires,
fifty rubies, one emerald and 338
pearls. It will be noticed that there are
no diamonds among these precious
adornments. This is accounted fat by
the oft quoted story of Stephen's aver
sion to such gems because he consid
ered them "unlucky."
A False Alarm.
"I know something, I do. about a
member of this family," said little
Bobby Slithers triumphantly to his old
er sister. Maud.
"Oh, dear"' exclaimed Miss Slithers.
"Half a dollar is all I have, Bobby.
Will you promise not to tell if I give
you that?"
"Sure, I will." answered Bobby in
surprise. "But it ain't nothin' on you.

"I see you have your arm in a sling,"
said the inquisitive passenger. "Bro
ken, is it?"
"Yes, sir," responded the other pas
senger.
"Meet with an accident?"
"No. Broke it while I was trying
to pat myself on the back."
"Great Scott! What for?"
"For minding my own business."
"I see. Never could happen to me,
could it?"
"No."
"And if it did I wouldn't be blame
fool enough to tell it"
Then there was silence in the car.—
