Old Scroggs was most unfortunate
In everything he undertook;
He met man importunate,
Who talk insurance like book
He got five thousand on his life
And broke his leg. That made him cry;
Then he reversed the accident
And broke his neck. That made him die.
Now, as before, he hit it wrong
No doubt his shade Is full of ire
For what he needed now he knows
A heavy policy on fire.

The Astute MonxOlian Received Prom
Canada at the Detroit ONCE.
A handsome marOon-colored box
wagon carries the royal mail between
Windsor and Detroit. 1t is open only
at the rear end and the doors which
close that end are kept securely locked.
Besides two postmasters, only the Gus

A few weeks ago William Henry
Offut, the dignified and garrulous
colored official who sweeps the Wind

was performing the latter duty. 1t
was evening and, OF course, it was
dark. William Henry Otfut is natur-
ally timid when, as in this case, he is

His nervousness was increased when
the back door began to creak and
slowly open.

went to sleep-.apparently.

The Armor Worn BY . Warrior OF tho
Caroline Islands.
The full armor worn by a warrior
OF the Caroline Islands is one of the
most curious bits of savage workrsan-
ship in the world. The suit consists
OF two separate parts-the clothing
and the cuirass. The clothing, worn
next to the skin. is made by weaving.
or. rather, netting, by hand web Of
course cords twisted out of the husk
OF the cocoanut, each cord being tied
into hard knot between each mesh.
The knots are crowded close together,
and thicken the cloth so that it would
not be easy to stab or cut through 1t.
1t also protects the legs against being
torn by thOrny shrubs or scratched in
clambering over the sharp coral
rocks.
But the main curiosity in this armor,
says Earnest Ingersoll, is the cuirass,
or chest and head protector. the like
OF which is known nowhere else. The
woof, or substance Of the cloth, is Of
coeoanut thread the size of wrapping
twine, but tightly twisted and tough,
while tho warp upon which these are
woven is much heavier, SO that the
finished cloth is as thick rs our heavi-
est canvass. The threads are crowded
very compactly together also, so that
no slight force would be needed TO
force a blow through. The selvage is
bound over stout cord and ornament
cd by alternate points of black hair
and yellow fiber. Ornamental designs
are worked in with horsehair. too.
But the form of this outer war
