wild Animals Tanned by Good Food.
Old balloons, naturally the most
surly Of prisoners, will treat their
keeper with filial affection varying
with the quality of the menu, and q
first class caterer can manage to do
mesticate even such boarders as
wolves and reptiles. A German
colonist of New Freyburg, Brazil,
has collected a houseful of stuffed
birds, that have been described by
several travellers, but in the opinion
of the natives the culiosities of his
museum are eclipsed by the menag-
erie of his daughter, whose culinary
talents have charmed the souls of
some of the widest denizens of the

Nobody on the stage" said an
old actress, who used to be reign

man nor woman, kisses from choice.

no matter how much people like one
another. They are both covered
with paint, grease and powder, and
the contact of two faces, or even of

In the month Of March, 1915, the Paris
Moniteur announced the unexpected re-
turn Of the Emperor Napoleon from
Elba. The first announcement Of The
Moniteur was far from polite, but as the
little Corsican approached Paris grad
ual change took place in its tone:
"The cannibal has left his den."
"The Corsican wolf has landed in the
bay of San Juan"
"The tiger has arrived at Gay"
"The wretch spent the night at Gre.

How Drummers Kiss.

Drummers are the best kissers.
They ara educated in the art. A
dashing knight of the grip, with his
sample case in his hand and his best
girl hanging to his arm, saunters up
and down the station until just the
nick of time, and then-here's the
art of kissing itself--he steps lightly
forward with the left foot, his left
arm passes stealthily but completely
around her waist. her head is thrown
back until it just touches his shoul-
der, while her lips pucker and her
eyes twinkle, he bends slightly and
their lips meet. Then, with wave
of the hand. he steps ON the train as
1t begins to move.-New York

The Compass Plant.

On the western prairie is found
what is called the compass plant,
which is of great value to travellers.
The long leaves at the base of its
stem are placed, not fiat as in plants
generally, but in vertical position,
and present their edges north and
south. The peculiar propensity of
the plant is attributed to the fact
that both surfaces of its leaves dis
play an equal receptivity for light,
whereas the upper surfaces of the
leaves of most plants are more SEN
sitive to light than the lower, The
leaves thus assume vertical posi-
tion and point north and south,
Travellers on dark nights are said to
feel the edges of the leaves to ascer-
tain the point of the compass. -Bos-
ton Globe.

At Jamesburg, N. j., died, not long
since, Harrison w. Crosby, aged seven
ty-eight. Few persons knew Mr.. Cros-
by, even by name, yet he ought to be
more famous than Napoleon Bonaparte,
for he was benefactor of the whole
human race. A discovery of his while
he was steward of Lafayette college, in
ls47, added fully 100 per cent. to the
quality and variety of human food, and
made it possible for ship captains to
fight off scurvy. By means of his idea,
Lieutenant Peary, in the awful arctic
night, was able, if still alive, to have a
Christmas dinner approaching in variety
and palatableness those in civilized
lands. In brief, Harrison Crosby in
vented the process for sealing tomatoes
and other vegetables in tin cans, so they
would come out fresh and in prime con-
dition. To appreciate what this dis
coyery means, it is only necessary to
think of the vast establishments for can
ming meats and vegetables, and of the
great condensed milk industry, all made
possible through the happy idea of the
tin tomato can, saying nothing of the
goat and tin plate industry.

That is very funny tangle the authors
Of the Chinese exclusion law got into il
the hurry in which it was passed. On-
provision of this law is that the identity
of permanent Chinese resident in che
country must be established by the tes
timony Of a reliable white witness. This
meant in the intention of the trainers Of
the law, apparently, merely to exclude
Chinese testimony in the matter. But
the word "white" makes the law ex-
clude the testimony of q negro; if it
is to be construed literally, also of an
Indian. The colored people of the Union
have not been long in catching hold Of
this slip and calling the presidents at
tention to it. The law had to be signed
in a hurry, in view Of the expiration of
the former Chinese exclusion law in
May, and there was no time to return
the bill to congress to have the matter
rectifed. The president says he observed
the queer wording of the act and con-
ferred with the attorney general to SEQ
if it would exclude the testimony of
black witnesses. The attorney general
replied that in view of the amendments
to the constitution, civil rights law, etc.,
it certainly could not; therefore the
president signed it, That is to say, IN
the Interpretation of the Chinese act,
black is the same as white and white is
the same as black. But it's queer COM
ment on the intelligence and foresight
of congressional lawmakers. By the
way, what would have been a good
wording of the intention of the law2

co-operatsve summer Homes.

The question Of how people of moder-
ate means can have very jolly sum-
mer in the country has been solved in a
happy way in Rockland county, N. Y.
aud in some other places.
The foiution can be utilized by thou
sands OF families all over this country,
aud a summer can be enjoyed that is
far pleasanter for mothers and children
than that usually spent at the fasliona-
Bile summer resort.
Briefly the plan is as follows: Mlthin
a distance of twenty to thirty miles Of
New York there are still farms that can
be bought cheap, some of them in fact
being at the point of dilapitation and
abandonment. A number Of country
home club seekers purchase one of these
old farms of. say, fifty acres. Possession
must be gained early in the spring. The
club pays perhaps half the money down,
with notes and mortgages for the rest.
The members put their means together,
cooperative fashion, for this purpose.
Then the wide, ancient farmhouse is
overhauled and cut up into sleeping
rooms and otherwise remodeled and
added to SO that it will hold twenty-five
to fifty people. A roomy piazza, such
as adorns seaside hotels, is run all
around.
The barn is likewise remodeled to hold
horses enough to do the teamwork and
to furnish driving animals for the resi-
dents at the old farmhouse. A farmer
and his fanily--two families, If the club
requires it-are engaged early in the
spring to perform the farm and house
work. All the vegetables, fruit, poultry,
eggs. milk, etc., wanted for the table
are produced on the farm itself. Grain
raising is not gone into to any extent.
The club of families takes possession
of its quarters in early Simmer. So
systematized has the matter Of expense
become. so available have the farm
products been made, that family of
four persons can live excellently we'll in
this way at cost of fifteen dollars a
week This is cheaper than they can
live at home in New York city. The
plan has become SO popular that the
members stay later and later each year.
Many of them make their permanent
homes here, living in boarding houses
in the city during three or four months
in winter and returning to the club
family home in the spring. They would
live in the country the year around if
there were decent roads, which ought to
be an argument with the rural popula-
ton to improve public highways. The
men in these happy families go to the
city daily to business. The country
clubhouse plan has been SO successful
that a writer in the New York Sun
says it has brought up the price of farm
lands in Rockland county.
