AY B W-TIN DAY, OCTOBER 12, A Inndicap, At a fancy fair got up the othew day on a race near Paris in aid of a military hospital, the chief attraction was a sort Noah's ark handicap race. The trainers were ladies, who had their cut out for them in the capacity of drivers as well, One sportswoman brought a guinea fowl, another a cock, a third a guinea pig. Others drove, pushed or pulled a tortoise, a duck, a hare, a rabbit, a sheep and a pigeon respec- tively. The guinea pig passed the win- ning post first, the hare, who started scratch, having gone off on a tangent, with its despairing mistress running after it, while the tortoise was sure, but too slow, and the others could not be got to finish the course, except the duck, which took second place.— London Telegraph. i Hoyalty’s Cast-Off Raiment, One reason why the confidential pervants of royalty have been able to amass comfortable fortunes in spite of their moderate salaries is that they receive from their employers many gifts of old clothes and other things which they can turn into money. The outgrown raiment of Queen Victoria's children used to be quickly purchased \by discreet persons from the confiden- pial servants, who did not offer these Noah's Ark conse Oi work perquisites to the world at large, but only to a select clientele.

BETTER THAN A FENCE. fronblesome Monkeys Kept at a Disge eh . pis full height. tance by Daubing with Treacle and Tartar Emetic, In “A Sportswoman in India” Miss Savory writes entertainingly of the monkeys in the foothills of the Him- alayas. For cool impudence and au- dacity, she says, these hill monkeys stand unrivaled; they slip into the bungalows at Dalhousie and carry off anything from the breakfast or tea table, if the room is empty. to house—a mother, it may be, with two young ones clinging to her, a loaf of bread in one hand and a bunch of bananas in her mouth, which she had just “sneaked” from a dining-room. i “Of course, monkeys are very trou- blesome in plantations.

The waited near, in great consternation, anxiously watching while their in- fants were painted from head to foot with treacle and tartar emetic. On being allowed to go they rushed off into the fond and welcoming arms, and were instantly carried up into the woods, and there assiduously licked clean from top to toe by their affectionate parents. “The natural effects followed, and the pitiable condition of the old mon- keys can scarcely be imagined. That pateh of sugar cane was never rifled ! again.” Unlucky Day for Hubby. “Charley, dear,” said young Torkins, “I am going to turn » new leaf.” “In what connection?” “I'm going to stop being supersti- tious.

He was quick to push his advantage, “lI am the possessor of a town and country house, a yacht, a stable of thoroughbreds and a box at the opera.” She hesitated, and a slight blush be- trayed that she was listening. “I have got,” he continued, with a certain fierceness, “30 servants, 40 pairs of trousers, 50 ancestors, three automobiles, six prize bull pups and an army commission.” Ah! she had found her tongue at last. “And how many golf medals?” she 1isped. The young man shuddered. He felt that he had lost. He had Regulating a Clock, It is not, of course, possible to seize hold of the hands of a clock and push them backward or forward a tenth or a twentieth part of a second, which is about the limit of error that is allowed at the Greenwich observa- | tory, so another method is devised. “Such things were not to be borne, | Jom the Pe ii a magnet is fixed.

Roof-Dwellers in New York, Perched high up in midair, atop the lofty office buildings, are little homes as quiet and secluded as though they stood beside some country lane, in- stead of directly above throbbing, hur- rying, maddening Broadway. Several years ago some inventive architect des vised the plan of locating the caretak- ers and their families on the roofs of the buildings of which they have charge. The plan was so satisfactory in every respect that it has been very generally followed. Within aun area of a few blocks in the down-town district dozens of families are living thus, above the eaves of the tallest buildings in the world. They form a quaint €xd’ interesting colony.—Ledger Monthly. English Speaki-s in Mexico.
