Curiosities of Friendshfn.

Curiosties of friendship would cover
nearly all cases of noted masculine or
feminine affinities the world has known
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. A general impression is that
opposites match, mate and cooperate more
readily than similar temperaments.
Goethe could form friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
like pliable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those of
less intellect and more emotion. There
was philosophy in the keeping of testers
or fools" by those who were burdened
by affairs of state. Walter Scott loved
nothing SO well as his dogs. George
Eliot's friendships were for men. Blondes
are said to prefer brunettes, and bru-
nettes blondes.-Globe-D Democrat.

How to Rednce Flesh.

1t is not necessary for corpulent per-
son to vigorously deny hims ~ everything
good to eat in order to be less bulky. 1t
is positive fact thata cup Of water taken
after each meal will rapidly reduce flesh.
Eat what you like, rich gravies, sweets,
pastry, anything, but drink nothing at
meals, and in few minutes after rising
from the table drink the cup Of hot boil
ing water, and enjoy the light, relieved
feeling you will experience 1t is little
odd, but hot water taken before the meal
increases the weight.-Wonsan's Work. !

Specimens of African Sheep.

African sheep, as represented by speci-
mems in the Berlin geological gardens,
vary greatly in size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deer
like limbs. The color is always black
and white. They are not, like European
species, covered with wool, but have only
stld, coarse hair, which is short and even,
excere on the necks of the bucks. They
are useful only as food, for which they
are highly priced by the blacks.-Arkan-

Five Elephants.

The revival of the rage about the
shah of Persia has led to q story on
the Hon. Fred Winston, of Chicago.
who for a short time represented the
United States ut the Persian court
When he arrived ut Teheran he was
met outside of the city by the cham,
berlain of the court, who in the
name of the shah presented him with
four elephants. Winston, who had
never seen an elephant outside OF a
menageric, was paralyzed ut his stu
alton, but managed to thank the
shah for his great kindness. After
lie had been presented, and had as
sumed the duties of his office, his
greatest official burden was the care
of his elephants. Relief came on the
second day, when the intimation was
politely conveyed that the shah ex-
pected n present from him.
Certainly" said Winston, as a
smile wreathed his face. II have
only been waiting to secure one
worthy of so great u ruler"
That afternoon he proceeded in
state to the palace and presented the
shah with five elephants. The cham
berlain regarded tho elephants with
suspicion, but oriental politeness
psevents the inspection of gift
horse in the mouth, and, anyhow,
the extra elephant removed oil
doubt.
"That extra elephant cost me
$780," said Winston, in telling the
story afterward." But consider
