How Sagehens Mate.

Sagehens have fandango every
spring, and the Virginia Chronicle
thinks the Indians got the idea of
holding fandangos from the birds.
1t says the male birds call each
other every morning and evening
for couple of weeks, and the effect
is seen in the collection of the birds
in large numbers in the locality se-
lected for the fandango. A large
open space on the hillside is where
the observer will find them. There
they flock for several days, the
males In the center surrounded by
the hens. The males strut about
and show off their best points to a
host of admiring hens. The males
hold their heads high, rufll!ng4their
feathers and making a peculiar
cackling noise. This continues for
a couple of weeks, morning and
night, and during the day they sep
arate to the feeding grounds. To-
ward the end Of the fandango each
male walks around the circle alone
till one of the hens enter, when
both fly out as mates for the year.

He Wanted q Receipt.

In the city Of Halifax there dwelt
lawyer, crafty, subtle and cute as
a fox. An Indian of the Miami
tribe named Simon owed him some
money. The poor red man brought
the money to his creditor and waited
expecting the lawyer to write a re-
ceipt.
"What are you waiting for?" said
the lawyer.
Receipt" said the Indian.
ga receipt" said the lawyer, ere
ceipt. What do you know about
receipt? Can you understand the
nature of a receipt? Tell me the
use Of one and will give it to you"
The Indian looked at him a mo-
ment and then said:
"S'pose maybe me die, me 60 to
heben me find gates locked, me see

do you want?" "Me want to get

Give Them a Chance.

Why am l woman suffragist? ?
Because | am. Because a woman
has more good, hard, common-sense
than man. Because she makes
less bluster about her rights, and
quietly maintains them better than
a man. Because she won't pay $1.5O
for an article that she knows very
we'll she can get for IS cents. Be-
cause she does not stalk loftily
away from the counter without her
change if the robber behind it is a
little reluctant counting it out. Be-
cause she is too independent to
pass the landlord 81 25 for her
dinner and then pay the head waiter
81 to send her a waiter who will
bring it to her for SO cents. Be
cause she will hold her money
tightly in her own good little right
hand for two hours until she first
gets receipt for it from the fellow
who made her husband pay the
same bill three times last year
Not any ''just give you credit fol
it" for her.

Ranked Stronger Than Sherman.

A president of one of the Chicago
railroads related the other night
little anecdote anent General Sher-
man and a certain military dinner
given in Omaha, Nebraska, at the
beginning Of the war. The menu
was wretched, as were the hotels in
those days. On this occasion the
butter was particularly bad and
rancid to degree. The General
sent for the manager, to whom he
quietly remarked: "You will have
to remove this butter, my friend,
as it outranks me-"

Origin of Earrings.

By the way, talking of earrings
says a writer for the jewelers.
Weekly, puts me in mind of an East
ern legend which / heard a short
time ago about their origin. When
Hagar ran away to escape the wrath
of Abrams wife, so the story goes,
Sarai vowed that if her handmade
ever returned she would cause her
to be mutilated, thinking thus to
destroy her beauty and prevent her
causing any further domestic infe-
licity. Time, however, had the
effect of so cooling Sarai's wrath
that when Hagar came back and
pleaded with her she decided to
forego her vengeance and restored
her ex-handmaid to favor. But an
oath was not a thing to trifie with,
and as Sarai had solemnly vowed
to mutilate Hagar, she was in a
quandary to know how to do this
without injuring her or marring her
fair face. Finally she hit upon the
expedient of piercing small hole
in each of Hagar's ears, and it is
said that Abram, to offset the pretth
handmaid's punishment, presented
her with two beautiful jewels 10
suspend from the holes. Her ap-
pearance thus adorned so excited
the admiration of the other women
of the tribe that the wearing OF ear
rings soon became general among
fhon,
