The Prophecy Of the Greyhound.

Richard H., Of England, bad grey
hound, called Math, beautiful beyond
measure, who would not notice or follow
any one but the king. Whenever the
king rode abroad thu greyhound was
loosed by the person who had him in
charge, and ran Instantly to caress him,
by placing his two fore feet on his shoul-
ders. It fell out that as the king and the
Duke of Lancaster were conversing in the
court of the castle, their horses being
ready for them to mount, the greyhound
was united, but instead of running as
usual to the king, he left him and leaped
to the Duke of IIancaster's shoulders,
paying him every court, and caressing
him as he formealy used to caress the
king, The duke, not acquainted with this
greyhound, asked the king the meaning
Of this fondness, saying:
sfWhat does this mean?"
ssCousin," replied the king, sit means
sgreat deal for you, and very little for
me- 'IaTaf ~ E~e
"How9p said the duke; ''pray explain
IT,"
'T understand by it." answered the
king, 'sthat this greyhound fondles and
pays his court to You this day, as Kingof
England, which You will surely be, and L
shall be deposed; for the natural instinct
of the dog shows it to him. Keep him,
therefore, by your side, for he will now
leave me and follow you. "
The Duke of Lancaster treasured up
what the king said, and paid attention to
the greyhound, who would never more
follow Richard of Bordeaux, but kept by
the side of the Duke of Lancaster, as was
Witnessed by thirty thousand men,

The First Man a Black Man.

The primitive preadamibe man, ac-
cording to Prof. Winchell, lived In q
country lying between the present Afri-
can and Asiatic continents, and thence
be dispersed himself over the earth.
He was essentially black man, as dis
tinguished from the white man; not an
African negro, but of dark leathern skin,
like the native Australian races. The
native Australian is inferior in structure
and intelligence to the African negro !;
he falls as far below the negro as the
negro below the white man, and is more
nearly related to the primitive man than
any other race. The black races now In
existence are the Hottentots, the ne
groes, the Australians and the Papuans,
the latter of whom are dark-skinned and
almost black, occupying New Guinea
and some smaller islands north Of Aus
tralia fa
Primitive man also gave birth to the
brown races. These are now found in
the islands of the Pacific, and of them
the Sandwich islanders are specimens,
They crossed to the American continent
end their descendants are the Indians of
North and South America, from Green
land to Patagonia, and, on the Asiatic
continent, the Chinese, the Japanese,
the Tartars, the parks. the Malays, the
Burmese. etc. sfi 20 10

Beer as a UnirersaI Beverage.

We are prone to think of beer as con-
fined, IN respect to manufacture, to
Europe and the. United States. But
many kinds of beer are made In other
countries indeed, it is q far more gen.
eral drink than is commonly supposed.
In South America the natives prepared
and drank a beer obtained from corn
(Inaize), and called ehica, long before
the Spaniards had gained foothold
there. The corn is moistened with
water, allowed to sprout partially, and
then dried in the sum The malt so pre-
pared is bruised, treated with warm
water, and set aside until fermentation
has ceased In the valleys of the Sierra
corn malt Cprimitive and unpleasant) is
chewed by the nstives, and the chewed
morsel put In jars with hot water, when
fermentation becomes more rapid. The
chica beer is also produced from barley,
rice, peas, manico, pines and grapes.
The Grim Tartars make beer from millet
seed and name it bouza. The same seed
is employed In Likkim, on the northern
slopes of the Lower Himalayas, and
yields beer known as murwa. The Rus
SLAMS prepare beer from rye and call it
quaas. The .Arabians, Abyssinians and
many African tribes compound beer of
tsff and 1nillet seed. The Tartars have
mild beer made of mares or camel's
milk fermented. The, ,Arabians 11se the
milk TO produce their lebau, and the
Turks the youart. In the Orkneys and
some parts of ireland buttermilk is per-
mitted to stand until it ferments and is
then drunk The South Sea islanders
make beer-ava-from the intoxicating
long pepper, and enjoy it greatly. Thus
prepared in many ways, is well-nigh a
universal beverage. York Times.

Mr.. Henryw

As an illustration of how the simple arc
used by politicians, the following acen-
dote is interesting:
At political meeting, the speakers
and audience were very much disturbed
by man who constantly called for Mr..
Henry. Whenever q new speaker came
en- the stand, this man bawled out /:
"Mr. Henry Henry Henryl I call
for Mr.. Henry I"
After several Interruptions of this kind
at each speech, young man ascended
the platform, and was soon airing his
eloquence in magnificent style, when tho
same man as before was heard bawhE
out at the top OF his voice:
"Mr. Henryl Henry Henry
call for Mr.. Henry to make speech
The Chairman arose and remark
that it would oblige the audience If the
gentleman would refrain from further
calling for Mr.. Henry, nc that gentle
man was now speaking.
"Is that Mr.. Henry ?" said the dia-
tnrber of the meeting That can't be
Mr.. Henry Why, that's the little fsl-
Low that told me TO holler I"

Man a Laughing Animal.

q Man is said to be the only animal that
can cry, and yet he is not really crying
creature. He is laughing and smiling
creature. The hours which bring tears
do not come very often. Some firesides
see ten or twenty years in which no one
has cause for weeping Many hundreds
and thousands meet with no sorrow for
quarter century. The days on which
man cries are few compared with all the
days of lis life. Man IS an animal that
can cry, but he is most perfectly crea-
turs chat laughs Not many days pass
that bring no pleasant smiles to the ma
iority. There is a column of laughter in
the daily newspaper. The light dramas
of pure and ingenious quality draw
large audiences, while painful tragedy is
less popular, because all mankind would
rather laugh than cry 1t ought to be
an prtori argument in favor of hfe's
intrinsic sweetness and worth that man
comes up into it with his face beaming
with smiles, and this smile widens out as
years pass, and the dear old fsther laughs
and plays with children, and one merIi-
nuent like one electricity thrills the heart
Of infant and Of patriarch.
