I had all experienced varying vicissi tudes which, forging a curious chain of misfortune, made Beira hardly an enviable post were one inclined to superstition, a will be seen from the following : The first man to be appointed was the captain of a man-of-war, his ship doing duty as the consulate. After three or four months' stay he contracted so bnd an attack of ma laria that he died shortly afterward. The next consul who came, fright ened of the surrounding swamps, purchnsed an old sailing ship, turned it into a hulk and fitted it up into i most comfortable residence. In some mysterious way, however, his float ing homo sank in the middle of the night, he and his wife only escaping with their lives. The catastrophe so discouraged him that be left soon after. Number three was unfortunate enough to loso his wife from the ef fects of fever, and she was buried there. Number four nearly lost his life by being shot at while breakfast ing, the bullet passing within a few inches of his head and going through the adjoining door. The consul fol lowing him was our unfortunate predecessor, who was brutally mur dered in his office, being stabbed in the neck. Such an unbroken history of disaster in connection with a con sulate is rarely to 1 met with. BRIGHT LAD Teacher Where are your sums? Kid Six big highwaymen held me up an' nibbed 'em off me slate. QUEER TRAITS OF ANIMALS. Many animals and insects have curious ways of doing things for which there is no apparent scientific reason. A fly on the window pane will crawl to the top, fly back to the bottom and crawl up again. This order is seldom reversed why, no one knows. It is on record that a fly crawled up a window pane 32 times, returning each time to the same place, the Presbyterian states. Hens scratch for food with the sun behind them, the reason being that the ravs reflect on the minute particles. A blind hen will pick grain ami not miss a kernel. Cats seldom lie with their feet to the fire. Usually they lie on the left side. Dogs lie with their forepaws to the fire. A mouse will ignore a food supply sufficient for a meal and run great risks to nibble at a wholesale supply. It will hide at the source of food supply and not depart from it until actually disturbed. It isn't true that a mouse runs to its hole at the first alarm. 80UNDS LIKE IT. "Graycc married a man whose head is solid ivory." "Nonsense !" "You know what I mean. She married a stick."

An important center of action in the present war, Verdun, was a fa miliar name to Englishmen 100 years ago. In it were interned the most important of those who were caught on the continent when the peace of Amiens came unexpectedly to an end in 1803. From then until Waterloo the French town had British colony numbering about B00, who, with dinners and dances, Bteeplechasing and cock fighting, re produced as well as they could the conditions of life, at home. There were five exclusive English clubs, and even a pack of harriers. They gambled for very high stakes. It was estimated that during his stay at Verdun Lord Blayney lost at cards something like $250,000 a year. That nobleman exhibited to the last tho national insouciance. When peace permitted his return from exile he traveled leisurely to Boulogne, and then suddenly decided to go back o Verdun to purchase a property there, so as, he said, to be able to bathe and fish in the Mcuse and have a pleas ant retreat whenever he felt inclined to visit France.

Several large cisterns were dug on the new fair grounds and hoarded over. Workmen preparing to fix con nections with the cisterns and the water pipes were surprised to find two dogs and a dead rabbit in one of them. Tho dogs had evidently chased poor bunny into what he thought was a place of safety and had been trapped themselves when they sought to follow him. As there was no wa ter in the cistern they landed at the bottom. How long they were in the hole is not known, but the rabbit had kept them from starving and was partial ly consumed. When released they made tracks for home. Janesville (Wis.) Dispatch to New York World. Such a Rudeneie.
