Two Smiles from Paris.

HERE are two anecdotes that recently
drifted past on the stream of chit-chat
at a dinner party. An American gen
tleman, while taking walk in London
one day, CHANGED to behold in a gro
GERS window an immense pile of hams
stamped with the name and address of
q dealer in Chicago, while overhead
hung placard inscribed: "Best Cana
dian hams-one shilling and six pence
per pound" The proprietor of the es-
Enlistment Glanced to come to the
door, and the gentleman called his at
tention to the incongruity of selling
Chicago hams as a Canadian product.
'.Ah, yes, yesr' exclaimed the grocer
with an air of conviction, s'Chicago is
one of the United States; had forgot
ten that" Next comes the story of an
illiterate dame who possessed q very
fine gallery of pictures, including spe-
cimens of the old masters as we'll as of
the modern school. She was one day
engaged in showing of her art treas
ures to visitor, seasoning her dis
course with small facts relative to the
artists whose works she possessed.
Nov, that picture" she said, pointing
to large NEUROLOGICAL scene, s.thats
by Rubens. He's dead."-Raris Cor.

The Fourth OF July.

In Philadelphia an estimate wa.
made of the accidents and injuries re-
sulting from the use of fire-crackers,
pistols. ETC., on the last July 4th, and
the results were as follows:
Killed by the discharge of cannon,
guns and pistols, ten; seriously
wounded. thirty; amputations of arm
or leg from injuries received, six;
killed by fires resulting from fire-crack.
ers, ETC., four; slightly injured, one
hundred and four; houses burned, five.
This list of casualties was nearly
doubled in New York. In both cities
heavy showers put an end to the re-
joicing early in the afternoon, and in
Philadelphia shooting of crackers or
pistols was prohibited by law, or the
number OF deaths and accidents would
have been much larger.
It is quite time that our boys and
young men asked themselves seriously
concerning this matter, ''Does it payP"
Is the delight of making a noise-a
taste which we share with the macaw
and the ape-enough to compensate
for this annual slaughter of life and
happiness all over the country? Is
there no more rational way of cele-
brating the National birthday?
A city clergyman. before the last
Fourth of July, proposed to the chill
dren of his parish to form an Anti
Powder Association. The money which
they would have spent on crackers,
powder, pin-wheels. ETC., was put in y
common fund, and an excursion or.
ganized to the seashore. to which each
contributor had the right to invite one
poor little child chosen by himself.
The day was happy, merry one; as
happy for the children who gave the
unwOnted pleasure to the forlorn little
waits, as to those who received it. In
stead of death and suffering. the holi-
day brought breath of life and health,
and the enjoyment of Heavenly charity
to them all.
If children continue to abuse the
day. it is because grown people neglect
70 show them better way to keep it
than by this senseless, dangerous hub
bub which custom has sanctioned SO
long.-YoutHs Companion.

While she was cutting the cake

"No. Brownie, have not.''

If men and women would only arise
every morning with the firm purpose to
live better than they did the day before,
and every day take step forward by
the experience of the past and the help
OF the ever present Spirit, how few
would fail in life's duties, or become
of its rewards! Golden Rule.

Seine Of the Most Remarkable Lon,
Fasts on Record.

The recent remarkable fasting tes,
by DR.. Tanner has led to the ex6uma
ton of 3 curious book written bv one
Wanley, entitled wonders of the Lit
tie World" in which the writer has re-
corded the following feats of alleged
long-continued abstinence from food:
Paulus Lentulus, doctor in the
Province of Bern, Switzerland, in q
book entitled "a Wonderful History Of
the Fasting of Appolonia Schreira, q
Virgin in Bern" says she was by com.
maRd of the Magistrates brought to
Bern, and "having q strict guard put
upon her and all kinds of trials put in
practice for the discovery of any collu.
sion or fraud in the business, in con-
clusion they found none, but dismissed
her fairly. In the first year OF her fast
ing she slept very little; in the second
not at all, and SO continued for long
time after"
Gerhardus Bacoldianuss, physician to
the Roman King Macmillan, tells of
Margaret, ten-year. old girl, born in
the village of Roed, near Spires, who
began abstaining from all kinds of food
in 1889, and tasted for three years,
walking in the meantime, and talking
and laughing and playing as other
children of her age would do. She was
by special order of the Bishop of Spires
delivered into the hands of the parish,
priest and by him narrowly observed.
Afterward by command of the King, DR..
Bacoldianuss took charge of her and
subjected her to the closest scrutiny for
twelve days, when finding that no de-
ception was practiced he allowed her to
return to her friends.
Katherine Binder, born in the Pala-
innate. in 1886, is reported by Fabritius
to have fed only upon air for period
OF over nine years; another maiden,
aged fourteen, born in the Dukedom of
Juliers, is credited with having done
without food for three years.
The Maiden of Meurs tasted for four
teen years. Her name was Eve Flei-
gen, and her wonderful feat is record
ed, originally, in Dutch. From the
time she became twenty-one years old
until she reached the age of thirty-six,
she is said to have taken no sustenance
whatever. She tasted from the year
1867 until 1911, and the fact is testified
to by the magistrates of the town of
Meurs, and By the town minister, who
closely observed her. Over q picture
Of the starving maiden is written a
Latin verse of which the following is
translation:
This Maid of Meurs thirty and six years
spent,
Fourteen of which she took no nourishment:
mus pale and wan she sits sad and alone,
A g.rden's all she loves to look upon.

How Tho Cow Lest Her Tail.

How Tho Cow Lest Her Tail.
PEOPLE who have COWS to sell take
them to Kings cattle yards on Monday
morning, and people who want to buy
COWS go there to select their animals
There is always . big crowd and any
amount of chatting. Cows of all color,
ages, shapes and sizes are tied to the
fences, and the owner will take his oath
that nothing but q mortgage on his farm
could have induced him to part with his
favorite.
The other Monday the sport Of the
yard was COW with q tail about q foot
and a half long. The weather was
awful hot and the flies plenty, and she
not only worked that old stub for all it
was worth, but made it pretty lively for
insects with her hind feet.
s. see smiles and hear laughter, :"
said the owner as he faced the crowd,
"but this very bob tailed COW is worth
any four in the yard. She don't look
finished out with that stumpy-tail, but
here is another case wherein the inven-
tive genius of man can overcome the
lost forces of nature.
He thereupon deity affixed small
bush to her tail by means of string,
and the cow sent the flies sky-high at
every rap.
''And now how did this cow lose her
tailP' continued the man, as he hung
his coat on the fence. "She didn't 20

oh, no. She didn't get it hung in the
barn door-not by jugfull. She didn't
cut it off herself to spite the family, for
she knows how we all love her. Why,
gentlemen. when started with this
COW this morning there was more weep
ing and bowling in the town of BEDFORD
than [ ever heard at any funeral. 1 tell
ye, bob-tailed COWS not only have q
place in this worlds green pastures, but
also in the affections of the public. Eve
got to sell that COW to buy liver-pads
for my family, and tell you feel sad
clear down to my boots. Excuse these
tears, but that animal has got strong
hold on my affections, and we are
family that never conceal our real feel
BY this time everybody in the yard
was In the circle around him. and the
man wiped his eyes and said:
"About her lost tail. Last week q
stranger came along looking for q cow
which would give twenty quarts of
milk at one milking. told himhe was
my huckleberry. That COW has done
it time and agin, and she'll do it every |
day in the year. The stranger laughed.
That kinder stung me, and I told him
If she didn't pan out twenty full quarts
of milk I'd cut off her tail. If she
did, he was to give me fifty dollars for
the COW. Ladies and gentlemen, I sot
down and MIXED. felt as sure of
them fifty dollars as do of leaving
this yard alive, but alas! this is vain
world. She had got hold of something
wrong that day, and all I could get
out of her was nineteen quarts, one
pint and one gill. I am man of my
word, and off went her tail. Now,
hen, if there is any person here who
sn't dodrotted particular about that
missing gill of milk let i'm step for
