Ono Thing women Cant Learn.

"There is one thing woman never
learns" said a Broadway conductor as
he yanked the bellcord, "and that is to
get on and off car with q swing to-
ward the horses. She steps on or off
backward--that is, with her face the
other way. If the car is moving the
least bit she is liable to trip and fall
down. Then she looks daggers at me, as
il / did the whole thing purposely. A
fivs-year-old boy knows better. Talk
about dress REFORM" he murmured con-
temptuously, "what woman wants to
reform is in getting some sense about
horse cars. She ought to take lessons
from her brother.

A Dogs Love for Another DOG.

I had two puppies of the Molussus,
commonly called the Maremma, breed;
large, white, very beautiful dogs, with
long hair; varying in size between a
Newfoundland and a collie; the old
Greek race of watch dogs to which,
quite certainly, Argos belonged. These
puppies. named Pan and Paris, lived
together, fed, played and slept together,
and were never separated for moment
for seven months. In the seventh month
Paris fell ill of distemper and died.
Now, by my own observation, can
declare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat;
did all that he could think of; and
when his brother at last lay there cold
and unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and establishment were pitiful to see
From that time he ceased to play; from
being very lively dog he grew grave
and sad; he had a wistful, wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold; and although he lived for
many years after, and was as happy as a
dog can be, he never recovered his spirits;
he had buried his mirth in the grave OF
Paris. Something was lost for him with
his brother which he never regained.
This is the only instance l have known
of dogs love for another dog.--Ouida

How an indian war Was Begun.

The Modoc war of 1872, in which so
many valuable lives were lost, was be-
gun by the advance Of half troop Of
the First cavalry. This force rode up
to the Indian camp, dismounted and
were standing TO horse, with probably
no thought Of being murdered or of any
serious trouble. 1t Is reported that while
the officer in command was talking to
the chief rife was discharged by an
Indian, either accidentally OF as sig
nal, and that instantly thereafter firing
on the troops took place and number
were killed and wounded.
The Indians, about sixty in number,
taking advantage of the confusion
among the troops. retired to their strong
hold in the lava beds, numbering every
white man en- route. In this strong
hold they defied the government, mas

There Are Two Kinds Of Mustard.

There are two varieties Of mustard
black and white. Black mustard is the
most valuable for commercial purposes.
It's seeds are very minute, weighing not
more than one fftieth Of a grain each.
Its peculiar pungent taste Is caused by
an essential oil This oil can, like fruit
flavors, be exactly initiated by the chem
lists. Both US table condiment and a.
medicine, mustard has been known
from very remote period.
As now found in our grocery stores.
this spice consists of white and black
mustard seeds, mixed and ground fine.
The white mustard keeps better than
the black variety and is not so bitter,
A good deal Of the mustard sold is adul.

There is in Detroit an equine thorough
bred which is pronounced not only the
handsomest, but one Of the largest horses
In existence. He is in truth giant, and
the yeriest novice in horsefesh could not
but view his size and beauty without a
certain feeling of awe. This colossal
animal is 8 years old and is u hands
high, weighing 1895 pounds. An ordi-
nary sized man cuts but small figure
beside him. He is dark chestnut in
color, with superb name and tail. He is
owned by Richard Tregaslfis, and can
trot in four minutes.
1t seems pity that there viii be none
OF his progeny. He was imported from
France by Kentucky horse breeder,
who paid S. 200 for him. When put in
the stud the animal became a veritable
fiend. He would kick and bite on the
slightest provocation, and no one could
do anything with him. He soon killed
one attendant and short time after an
other man fell victim to the vicious
brute. The death of these two men
caused the owner to change the animal
into a gelding, and with good effect, his
temper being greatly improved. Detroit

a Plain Trutl,.

No man has right to marry till, in
every human probability, assured that
he can support a family in his own sta
ton. Mere love or improvident matches
seldom turn out well; poverty comes,
and there is so much self reproach on
either side that gall is added to its bit
terness; their tempers are soured, and
they soon wish themselves unmarried.
But when trials assail an attached, a
reasonable pair, sorrow unites them
closer; the man, feeling how much de-
ponds on him, never flags in his exertion,
efsa often Receivers the lost steps IL not
there is still consolation in his wife's un.
varying love-in her sweet, noiseless
sacrifices. In these uncertain times
there are few commercial men who
have not met with reverses, and they
will often say:
Had it not been for those at home
should have blown my brains out; ]
could not have stood it."
Wife and childreni They are beacon
TO us in our troubled sea; we renew the
struggle when ready to sink beneath the
wave, and at last are saved. At the
worst, when all is black--when friends
are cool or reproachful--when the cruel
est doubts assail us--there is still one
who respects and loves us; at home we
are still dear.--New York Ledger.

An old Custom In Durham Cathedral

An Viu SustoHh IA AurnhH Outhonrhi-
A curious custom, and one which we
believe Is in existence at the present
time at Durham cathedral, is for the
choristers, clad In flowing white robes,
to ascend the tower Of the cathedral on
the eve of the feast Of Corpus Christi
and sing the "Te Deum." This cere-
mony is performed to commemorate the
miraculous extinguishment Of fire on
that night in 1920. According to the
legend the belfry was struck by light
ming at midnight while the priests were
engaged in prayer, and although the FIRE
ragged for several hours the bells escaped
injury. This, it was said, was owing to
the special interference Of the incorrupt-
ible st. Cuthbert, who was enshrined in
that athedral.--London Tit-Bits

Thin She1led Eggs.

Some hens lay thin shelled eggs. This
is especially true of certain breeds, no
tably the Leghorns. The Poultry Yard
explains this as follows: "The supply is
SO abundant during the spring and sum-
mer, and the relative size of the eggis
SO great, that it is no small matter to
find covers for them. They do not in
their ordinary food obtain sufficient
lime to make good firm shells for SO
many eggs. AS their remarkable pro-
ductiveness is an artificial trait formed
by man, under domestication, so the
supply of shell forming material must
be artificially provided. We know of
nothing better for this purpose than
crushed bones and oyster shells. The
poultryman can obtain one or the other
of these cheap in nearly every part of
the country, since they are both articles
OF commerce and are sold at low rates.
He can save expense by crushing them
himself with an old AK and stone when
no better means are available. The
coarse particles may be placed in box
where the fowls can have access to them
at all times. The fine dust or flour may
be fed in the soft food. A tablespoonful
to ten or twelve fowls will be sufficient. >
