Susceptible Language.

The major and myself had just been
conversing about old times, and towards
the close Of our chat we had occasion TO
laugh at court report which our friend
Endicott had put into our hands. Among
the papers was the return of u deputy
sheriff OF Norfolk County, upon the
back of writ which he had been called
upon to serve. Thus read the truthful
deputy's return:
II further certify that said - w
did willfully and maliciously OBJ
struct me in the performance Of my duties.
He called me an ass a dolt; an idiot; q
scoundrel; and declared that | would
steal the coppers from my dead fathers
eyes, all of which do positively, though
with pain, certify to be true"
If that.return was read aloud in court,
it must have caused something more
audible than u simple smile.
Endicotts papers reminded me OF the
enterpriSing farmer and stock-raiser, who
wrote u letter of thanks to the editor OF
an agricultural paper for his efforts in
behalf of their society, and also thanks
for having introduced new and improved
varieties Of swine and sheep. The edi-
tor had been absent from an agricultural
fair of which our farmer had been man
ager, and the latter wrote 10 him, in part,
as follows:
DEAR AND RESPECTED SIR.-"I was sor-
ry not to See you at our fair. Some grand
hogs of exactly your own species were
ON exhibition. Also saw big, long
wooled buck of your kind to dot. In

CleOpatra's Needle.

The obelisk which for years has gone
by the name of Cleopatra's Needle does
not deserve its name, as it never had any
thing to do with that fascinating but de-
structive queen. 1t was erected at He'll
opolis by an Egyptian monarch, sup
posed by many to be identical with the
Scriptural Pharaoh, about 1900 b. 9. 1t
was removed to Alexandria, distance
of about eight hundred mies-probably
during the reign OF the CAESARS at Rome.
1t is now on its way to England by a
novel method of transport; that is, it is
enclosed in an iron cylinder, air.tight,
wedged- shaped at both ends, and towed
behind steamer The cylinder draws
from eight to ten feet of water, and has
wings, Or rather fins, on each side to
keep it from rolling over. The "Needle'
is siAty-nine feet long and eight feet
square-not uniformly, but at the base.
1t weighs about two hundred and
twenty tons. There appears to be but
little doubt felt us to the safety of the
means Of transit TO England, and the at
tention of the LondoneTs is almost
wholly engrossed by the question where
the obelisE can be set up to the best ad-
vantage. With their prOverbial caution
about these matters, they have gone so
far as to put up temporary models III one
or two places, IN order to judge Of the
effect on beholders of the three thou

LUCKY FRIGHT OF A HORSE. - We
should not usually consider it a recon-
mendation of horse that he could easily
be frightened. But in the instance re-
lated by the Wyandot (Ohio) Times, as
follows, the fright of u horse was very
fortunate; LAST Wednesday evening
John Yager came to Carey with his
horse and buggy. About eight o'clock
he started home. When he arrived at
Dry Run Bridge he was confronted by Il
man who called out 'Haltv Mr.. Yager
stopped his horse, and as he did so two
other men approached from the roadside
ana went toward the horses head. This
alarmed Mr.. Yager and SCARED his horse
SO that it ran away in great speed, much
to the Disappointment of the foot-pads,
who fired at Mr.. Yager, the ball passing
through one Of the curtains of the buggy
aud near his breast"

A CURIOUS WAGER.-Perhaps one Of
the most curious wa9ers on record is one
that was made by two sporting men in
January, 1927. One of the above bet
twenty pounds to ten that of the first
thirty men who should pass a shop in
which they were to station themselves,
twenty would have at least one hand in the
breeches or coat pocket, and that fifteen
would have both hands so placed. New
street, Covent Garden, London, was Sc
lected for the place of scrunity, as, from
its having an extremely narrow footpath,
and being very public thoroughfaro, it
would afford the best example of the in
convenience of this prevalent custom.
The result of the examination was that
of the first thirty men who passed eigh-
teen hat both hands in their pockets, and
five others had one hand 70 situated, the
proposer Of the wager thus winning it
easily.

Many persons, without knowing the
reason why they are benefited, wear res-
pirators over their mouths in winter, if
they happen to 60 out of doors. by SO
doing they diminish the amount of air
which enters between the lips, and virtu.
ally compel themselves to breathe
through the nostrils. But they can at
tain just the same result by keeping the
lips closed, habit which is easily ac-
quired, and conduces to the proper and
natural way of breathing.
We believe if people would only adopt
this simple habit-in other words if they
would take for their rule in breathing,
"Shut your mouth" there would be AN
intense dimnution in the two classes,
namely, diseases of the throat and lungs
which count many thousands of victims
in this country in the course of single
year.
