 Considerable difficulty was experienced recently by the Frenchmen who paid the King of Dahomey his annual pension of $20,O0O francs, because he could count only as high as one hundred. Eventually the silver, in which the pension was paid, was done up in packages of twenty five franc pieces each, and these packages were delivered one by one to the forty chieftains whom the king had summoned to see that he was not swindled. Upon the delivery of each package, the chieftain who kept book laid aside a shell. When forty shells had been laid aside, the book keeper indicated to the other chieftains that the payment was complete, and all then affixed crosses to the receipt present ed by the French agent.

The Bicycle Girl.
[From the New Iork Sun. l

One of the rarest, rsciest products of the wave of modern progress is the bicycle girl. She sits her steel horse precisely as her brother sits his, and establishes there by the longed for equality of the sexes. She wears a more hygienic garb than the dress reformers have ever dreamed of in their most inspired moments. She could give university graduate points on deter minatien and equilibrium of mentality. She is a healthy animal, both physically and mentally. The girl who takes a ten mile spin in the sun every fair day doesn't have time for morbid malarial dreams of the worthlessness of life.
 She doesn't fancy she is misunderstood

LIES SOON TO BE NAILED.

The Democratic tin plate liar has been a hard citizen to deal with, and his lies have been ingenious and elusive. But he is in pelled to know the truth even if he is not willing to tell it. The secretary of the treasury has taken the matter in hand, and will find the facts. There was provision in the tariff law which required that the statistics of the native tin and tin-plate business should in & certain number of years show 8 certain amount of develop ment or that the tariff on tin should lapse- and tin and tin-plate be admitted duty free It is therefore necessary that the treasury department should know what is being done. A suitable book, to be known as the "Daily Record of Production" will be prepared by the department and furnished to manufactrr- e-s, who are requested to enter therein their daily production of tin and terne plates of the several classes indicated therein. Stamping companies or others engaged in the manufacture of articles or wares from sheet-iron or sheet-steel pro- duced in the United States, to be after ward timed or terne plated, will be re- quested to keep a correct account of such iron or steel so manufactured, with weight allowance as sold to them. From the above records @ sworn statement of pro- duction is to be rendered by each manu facturer. at the end of each quarter, made out on the forms that will be furnished for the purpose.
 This will tell the story. The Demo- cratic tin-plate liars days are numbered.

Butterflies That Battle.

1t is commonly thought that Il butter.
fly breads the water as fine lady breads
ram, but evidently this is not true IN
Australia. The case of an Australian
butterfly deliberately entering the water
to take a bath is recorded by M. G.
Lyell, Jr. He saw it alight close to the
water, into which it backed until the
whole of the body and the lower part of
the hind legs were submerged. the two
fore legs alone retaining their hold on
the dry land. After remaining in this
position for something like half min
ute 1t flew away apparently refreshed.
Mr.. Lyell says: During the morning,
! noticed number doing the same
thing In one instance no less than four
were to be seen within Il space of not
more than three yards, and. to make
sure that was not deceived, captured
several as they rose fir ON the water, and
found in each case the body and lower
edge of the hind wings quite wet. While
IN the water the fiuttering of the wings,
so noticeable at other times. was sus-
pended, and so intent were the but
terfiies i'll the enjoyment of the cold
bath that they could hardly move, even
when actually touched by the net.
apparently the heat of the weather
drove them down to the water. as imme-
diately upon emerging they few up
again to the hillside. Butterflies are
often seen apparently sucking in the
moisture around the edge of the pools;
but they have never before been seen
actually to enter the water. Victoria

the floor
