The Water In Utah's Great Lake.

Salt Lake is by no means a saturated
solution of salt, yet it is five or six times
as rich In salts as the ocean, and nearly
as strong as the Dead sea. In summer

reached until the salt forms little over

The Trouble With the pen,.-

The late P. T. Barnum, being a pro-
nounced joker, turned also his witty
faculty to use. When he told the Adiron-
dack landlord, with great solemnity. that
he hesitated to find fault with anything
about the hotel when so much was agree
able, he was urged by the landlord by
all means to be frank and do so. "Well, /"
said Barnum, sit is only one thing;
have discovered with regret that your
pepper is half peas" The landlord de-
clared it could not be; but, on being as
sured that Barnum knew pepper as well
as ginger, he wrote caustic letter TO his
grocers about sending him such stuff.
They, knowing doubtless who the real
complainant was, wrote back that if he
would spell pepper" he would find half
of it composed of p's, and that that
which they sold had only the amount the
photography required. Ink.

high jumping contests between horses
Many times when the bar was placed near
| the record notch and at about the height
of seven feet, even such crack hunters as
Roseberry and Filemaker would strike the
bar and literally fall over. Many horses
were injured slightly, several riders re-
ceived ugly falls and horsemen protested
against the trials at such height on the
ground that the practice was cruelty to
animals. The death of Roseberry, the
worlds greatest high juniper, at Chicago,
Nov q, from the effects of fall while
jumping at the Fat Stock show, has again
directed attention to the subject. Rose
berry held the worlds record of Z fit. 5sS

record is #. ~ in.
Roseberry was valued at S25. 600 He
belonged to George Pepper, the Canadian.
whose string of hunters - Roseberry,
Queensbury and Maud-were unequaled.
Pepper had planned to take the great trio
to England next season and bring back
Roseberry in condition to jump eight feet
at the Worlds Fair. In 1888 Roseberry
was drawing a milk wagon. The year fol-
lowing a hackman at London, Ont,
bought him for $50. Not long thereafter
Morehouse & Pepper bought him for s167.

tests with Filemaker, the record passing

berry made his great z #. So in. jump,
which Filemaker was unable to equal.
At the recent exhibition of the National
Horse Show association at New York, the
management made what many humane
horsemen consider step in the right di-
rection by limiting the height to be jumped
to 6 #. 6 in.

Where NapoIeon's Friend Was Found.
On the voyage in a frigate from Alex
andria to France Napoleon said to those
who were ia his confidence:
81 am taking two very different
chances. Ii this vessel is captured by
the English and / am thrown into an
English prison l shall be in the eyes Of
France a common deserter, general
who left his army without authority to
do SO.
"But if reach France in safety, sub
due the factions, take command of the
army and carry out my plans for the ma
TONS good, shall win the blessings of
our fellow countrymen.
81 will not be taken by an English
vessel. If we encounter one we will
fight as long as posi- Die, and when the
enemy begins to board Us we must sink
the ship"
This desperate plan was received in
silence and with evident disapproval, ex-
cept by Gaspard Monge, who said, when
it appeared that no one else was going to
speak:
eyes, general, you have stated the
situation exactly. If what you suggest
happens we must sink the ship"
Il was waiting for this proof of friend
ship, and l charge you with executing
the plan, replied Napoleon.
Not long afterward an alarm was
given, and every one FASTENED to his post
to defend the frigate against an ap-
preaching English vessel. 1t was soon
discovered, however, that the vessel was
not English nor unfriendly.
Where is Monge" inquired Napoleon.
"Find him and tell him that the danger
is past"
Monge was found at his post by the
powder magazine with lighted lantern
in his hand.-YOuth's Companion.

The ancient Romans, at whose sump-
