His Idea of Ladies.

It was the day after one Of the sensa-
tional races of the year had been run at
one of the big race tracks near this city,
and instead of the 10000 excited men and
women who had packed the grand stand
the day before. perhaps one-quarter OF that
number were scattered about the ipclosure
to watch the races of the day. A couple
Of women were talking with one of the
numerous messenger boys employed to
carry the money of female racegoers to the
bookmakers in the betting ring, and occa-
sionally to bring some of it back The lad
was giving the women description of the
crowd of the previous day, which had evil
IDENTIFY not been of the character he de-
sired. "Why," said he, with deep disgust
in his tone, there was 5000 women here,
but they weren't no sort Of people for US.
There wasn't six decent ladies to make
bets in the whole lot. They was just a
crowd of Sunday school teachers and didn't
know enough to bet cent" The messen-
ger boy would probably be greatly sur
prised if he could understand bow wide is
the difference between his idea of ''decent
ladies'' and that of the average Sunday
school teacher.-New York Times.

All Choy's Ambition.

An anglo indian globe trotter" was in
Canton, and for assistance in sightseeing
engaged the services OF young Chinese.
An Choy by name. The boy had picked up
little English. and was proud OF his nc

be rare with Celestials, strong desire to
become master OF the English tongue.
He had taken the traveller to the South

handsome giided carvings IN wood.

She Named the fsabv.

What to name the baby, particularly the
first baby, ID often hard question So it
proved in the Morse family. The father
proposed to call the newcomer "Ebenezor, -
after it's grandfather, but Grandfather
Mcfse said no. He had never liked his own
name, and didn't want the child s.ddled
with it." lie thought "Francis,' the
name of long dead uncle, would be a
good one.
Grandmother and Grandfather Peevy
had each chosen name from Jis:.:;r family
AS for the two aunts On the Mo- side and
The three uncles on the Peevy side, their
views were all settled-and all different.
Little Mrs. Morse sat smiling in the
midst of all this discussion. When her
opinion was asked she always said, 81
haven't thought of calling him anything
but Baby yet"
but, my dear, you can't keep that up
forever" said the family conclaye.
"No, presume not, J" replied Mrs. Morse,
calmly.
Time went on and the little wonder was
almost six months old. Then one day Mrs.
Morse said to her husband at dinner, 81
named the baby this forenoon, George"
"You-what" calculated Mr.. Morse,
with his fork poised in midair
II named the baby" repeated Mrs.
Morse, quietly.
"Why-what-h did it happen?" asked
the astonished husband and father, gazing
blankly at his smiling wife.
sit was very simple" said Mrs. Morse.
"You see the census man came, and after
he'd asked me how old the baby was, he
said, And his name, please?' And before
| realized what was saying told him,
George Henry, Jr., and he wrote it in the
book! think it's the best name for him,
and at any rate the matter is settled now"
Between her calm assumption that
census book entry was interchangeable and a
fathers natural pride in having his name
perpetuated, Mr.. Morse concluded that
after all it was well the census taker had
come just when he did. George Henry,
Jr., is quite as happy as if his name had
been the result of great deliberations

The Bow in War.

The bow as used by Asiatic horsemen as
sumes curious shape. They were made
of horn-generally buffalo horn-in two
pieces, Joined by wooden center, and
when unstrung had the form of capital
c, which enabled them to be hung over the
arm on horseback. When strung-a diff
cult feat to those unused to them-they
took the double curve Of the antique bow
as seen in the representation of Cupid.
This was the f'Tartar's bow" used by the
Scythians, Parchians and Persians, and up
to quite recent times in India. 1t was
drawn by the thumb alone, on which the
archer wore broad, thick ring of horn,
ivory, or comedian, on whose edge the bow
string rested
The long bow was also much in use
among Indian infantry of the Middle Ages;
but neither they nor any other Asiatics ap-
pear to have done such execution as the
English archers of the same period. Bernier
says, describing a battle between Aurung-
zebe and his brother Dara, ''They draw
their arrows with marvellous swiftness,
one man being able to draw six of them
before a musketeer can discharge twice;
but, to say truth, their arrows do but lit
tie execution; more of them are lost in the
air or broken on the ground than hit"
The bow, in fact, requires more than any
other weapon constant practice from child
hood; and strong Englishmen of the pres
ent day are quite unable to use the bows
of the half human Mincopies of the An
damans.-Chambers Journal.

The Hamster.

AS the squirrel was said by the old
Norsemen to bring oil the news of the ami
mails to Thor, because he was the merriest
and most sociable of beasts SO in the talk
of the Russian peasants the hamster is the
synonym for all that is sullen, avaricious,
solitary and morose. Even in color he is
unlike any other animal, being light above
and dark below. This gives the hamster
somewhat the same homogeneous appear
ance that pair of black trousers and a
light coat lend to a man; In other respects
he is like large, shaggy guineapig, with
very large teeth and puffy cheeks, into
which he can cram a vast quantity of rye
or beans for transport.
Each hamster lives in a large, roomy
burrow all by himself, in defense of which
be will fight like badger against any
other hamstcr who may try to enter. Fam
lily life he wholly avoids, never allowing a
female inside his burrow, but keeping her
at good distance and making her find
her own living for herself and family. The
last burden is, however. not serious one,
for by the time the young ones are three
weeks old each discovers that family life
is great mistake and sets off to make a
bachelor burrow for itself and save up
beans for the winter.
For in addition to its other amiable quail
tiles the hamster has that of avarice in a
marked degree, and heaps up treasures OF
corn, rye and horse beans far in excess OF
his own private wants for the winter. His
favorite plan is to dig number of treas
ure chambers, all communicating with a
central guardroom, in which the owne,
eats and grows fat until the hardest frosts
begin, when he eurls htmself up to SLEEP
until the spring.-London Spectator.

Living in Patagonia.

Although Patagonia has long been such
terror to the ordinary traveller the name

out the slightest conjunction, Mr.. Jona-
than c. Davies, a Welshman, who has

gives lot Of interesting information re-
speeding a Welsh colony that was planted
in Patagonia in 1869 by the Rev. M. D.
Jones, of Bala. The first settlers num-
bered $50, but the present population of
the colony is about 3,GG0. The aim of this
founder was to secure tract of land for
Welshmen who leave their native land to
form settlement together, instead Of
scattering about among strangers in all
parts of the world
The colony is settled in Chubat valley.
which is about forty miles long and four
broad, and well protected by ranges of

showed signs of prosperity, and even now
the colonies have to struggle with fears
and dangers that would daunt any but a
hardy and determined people.-Pall Mall
