Taking Advantage OF Leap Year.

4 Detroiter who was out in the conn

poultry got stuck in mud hole, although
having light buggy and strong horse.
He got out, took a rail off the fence, and
was trying to pry the vehicle ont, when
along came strappine young woman
about 26 years of age. She halted, sur
vcyed the situation, and said:
You stand by the horse while I
heaye on the rail, and don't be afraid of
getting mud on your hands and boots"
Their united efforts released the vchi-
Gle, and the Detroiter returned thanks
and asked her to get in and ride. She
hesitated, looked up and down the road,
and finally said:
Stranger, I'm blunt spoken. Who
are you?' ..
He gave his name and residence, and
she continued:

The Parson Who Apologized.

Parson B lived few miles scout
on the road running from a certain elm
powered city of Maine to a small manu-
featuring village just beyond. The
parson was known as the embodiment
of oddities and quiddities, and also as Il
very convenient resort when one Of the
city pulpits needed "short notice -
supply, and the village of Sacarappa
had Il reputation, equally well estab-
lished, for manners and morality for
which ungodliness was a gentle term.
One Sunday morning the parson was
suddenly summoned to fill the "crack y
pulpit of the city, its own divine being
unexpectedly detained away from home
Hastily snatching q sermon from the
pile, he put it in his pocket, mounted
his high-hipped nag, and was off.
It was Ii bright October morning, and
the keen air had put life into the par
sons veins and oratory into his soul.
Warming at every sentence of his dis
course, he poured forth a rising flood of
reDuke, exposure, warning and con-
domination, such as might well stir the
souls Of any company Of sinners to their
depths
But as the climax was reached and
the conclusion drew near, the parson
began to recollect himself This was
no company of sinners. These were the
s. first circles - of P, aristocrats in
velvet and silk; their church had the
t1ilest steeple and the handsomest front
in town, and their minister commanded
a higher salary than any other church in
Maine could raise
The parson felt blush stealing to his
cheek He hurried through his sermon,
closed it, and reached uncomfortably
for the hymn book; then, with a quick
little movement, he wheeled about, and,
cooking his wizened face to one side,
piped out, in his queer, high pitched
voice: ~ hope no one in the audience
will take offense at any remarks offered
i'll my address this morning. l was
sent for in great haste, had no time to
make a selection, and the truth is, the
sermon never was written to come up
here; it was written for Sacarap' folks.n

Indians as Landed Proprietors.

The Ute outbreak has resulted in a
very careful examination of all the rela-
tons between the General Government
and the several Indian tribes. The
latest inquiry has been directed to dis
covering the extent of territory allotted
10 the Indians in the several States and
Territories. Judge Belford has gone
over the public records, and has col
lected the information which follows.
The result shows that in the States and
Territories named there are 237, O66 In
dams, occupying 236, 500 square miles.
or about. one square mile to each In
dian, and that The total number Of acres
over which these Indians roam at will.

white man to enter, is Isl, 1897, 768. The

The Chinese Cuisine.

The shark S fin is de!icacy which is
rarely omitted from the menu at a Chi
nese feast. 1t is one of the "great classic
dishes forming the pieces de resistance
Of an official banquet, and is eaten
either in the form of a joint, garnished
with crabs, or served up in small pieces
in cups placed before each guest The
consumption OF rats, though it seems to
be somewhat on the decline, is the cause
of a very important traffic in the princi-
pal towns of certain districts, and cs-
pecially in street in Canton called

may be seen in enormous multitudes

Besides the dishes peculiar to the
Celestials alone, there are a variety of
differences in their mode Of cooking and
eating foods unknown to our cuisine.
Hams, for instance, are kept for year,
or even two years, buried in heaps of
sawdust, which impart to them taste
of wood much appreciated by the gour-
NETS. Broad beans are fermented, and,
after being mixed with salt, form a very
favorite sauce, eaten with all sorts OF
yiands, Finally, the habit of eating
q rotten eggs" which sounds so strange
to European cars, is explained by show
ing that the so-called rotten egg is only
a duck egg preserved for long time.
