VERY FUNNY.
A Joke That Did Not Yield the Antici-
pated Amusement.

Practical jokes are never quite so
thoroughly satisfactory as when they
react upon the perpetrator. A gentle
man who is noted for his fondness for
pleasantly attempted the other day to
have little amusement at the expense
of his wife. He was passing along
the street, when a toy in a window at
tracted his attention. The more he ex-
amined it the more he became con-
WINGED that it possessed great posi-
bilities in the way of mystifying his
friends and thus entertaining himself
He purchased one and started home in
great glee.
The toy was a continuance with two
rollers and crank like a clothes
wringer It was very appropriately
called magic money-maker, for If a
piece of paper were put between the
rollers and the crank turned, there
would come out on the other side new
crisp blll-one dollar, FIVE dollars, ten
dollars, in short bill of any denomi-
nation within the limit of the opera
tors financial condition.
The secret was simple enough. Both
rollers were hollow, and into one sew
eral bills were carefully rolled. The
turning of the crank rolled the piece OF
paper into one cylinder, and at the
same time one of the enclosed bills was
rolled out of the other. The secret was
supposed to be known only to the oper~
ator.
To insert a plain piece of white or
brown paper between the rollers and 10
take out of the other side a ten-dollar
bill was, of course, mysterious and in
teresting performance, and the gentle
man promised himself considerable
amusement.
He secured several new ten-dollar
bills, and after practicing the trick once
or twice went home.
What have you got there@ asked
his wife.
"Sh-.' he exclaimed, raising his hand
warningly. Don't say word; I'll tell
you all about It after while. It's
new invention I've got hold Of, and our
fortune is made"
He put the little machine carefully on
the table and asked her 70 cut him

Incidental to the Season.

There were several men on the train
coming eastward from the Salt Lake re-
gion who told wonderful stories of the
heat of the alkah plains. | noticed a
contemptuous expression on the face Of
an old settler whe was listening as if he
didn't wholly believe all he had heard,
and finally he took turn in tne CONVEX
sation. Said he:
"Gentl'men, your talk is all child's
play. Heat! I give you my word Of
honor that when my wife wants to boil
eggs she just puts them into pan Of
cold water on the roof, and in three
minutes by the clock them eggs are
boiled"
There was silence for a moment, then
a thin voice piped up:
Where does she get the cold waterT'
Before this sumner could be disposed
of another man took a hand In the
confab.
Me and my wife don't keer for billed
eggs-we prefer 'em baked. When my
wife sets the table for breakfast she
spreads out a row of eggs on the winder
sill and in two jiffys they're baked ready
to eat. The only trouble is they're likely
TO be overdone."
There was spell of thinking; then a
long, lean man with a caved in chest
said, in a whistling kind of voice:
That's why I'm leaving the country"
"On account of the heat?" suggested.
Yes. Bein natchually tender hearted.

A Courteous Frenchman Who Refused to
Reveal His Hosts Mistake.
A recent French writer on THE Rev
olution, the Empire and the Restora-
tion," cites an amusing instance Of
what he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine
with him marquis who was one of the
most valiant soldiers of the army of
Condo. Wishing to honor his guest and
the cause which he served, that of the
French king, the English peer ordered
his butler to bring him bottle Of fine
wine one hundred years old, "a ray of
sunshine in crystal"
He opened it carefully and offered a
glass to the marquis, saying: IF you
deem it worthy the honor, will you
drink in this wine the health Of the
king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
How do you like it?'' asked the host
Exquisite" replied the marquis.
Then" said Lord Beverly, finish
the glass; only in full glass can one
drink the health of so great and SO IN
fortunate king"
Without hesitation the marquis did as
he was hidden. Only when the Eng
lishman tasted the wine did he learn
that what he had forced on his guest
was castor oil; and henceforth he held
the poiiteness of the French toward the
English in the highest esteem

An incident reported by the correspon-

seems to prove that it costs even more
to die at Monte Carlo than it does to
live there 1t appears that short
time ago a well-known Englishman was
taken i'll and died of dropsy at one of
the hotels, and his wife, who is a mem
Der of the English nobility, decided to
take the body to England for burial
Upon inquiri es as to the cost of this she
was informed that it would be necessary
to embalm the body, and that, with the
railway charges for the transport, the
expense would amount to over s400.
There were certain fixed charges made
by the principality of Monaco, said the
doctor and the undertaken, which must
be paid, and this was the lowest posi-
BILE estimate. This amount, it must be
remembered, was exclusive of hotel
charges and doctors fee for attendance
upon the patient; it was simply for en-
balming, for the cost of coffin and its
accessories, and for transport to London.
An appeal was made to Baron de Farm
court, the governor general of Monaco,
who declared that no taxes whatever
were levied upon foreigners, dead or
alive, by the principality. The bill was
reduced finally by nearly one-half, but

FAMOUS HUNTERS.
Men Who Stay Mighty Animals wit
Lances.

Men Who Stay Mighty Animals Wild
Lances-
In Sig. Gessi's Seven Years in the
Soudan' the author describes 'the
brothers Duma." two hunters IRE
nowned from Kaka to the Victoria
Nyanza." They were in the habit Of
the leopard-the fiercest animals of the
country-with no more emotion than
European would experience in shooting
rabbits. They were often sent for from
different parts to kill some lion which
was doing great mischief. OF their ele-
phant-h hunting the author says:
In all the villages the brothers found
an enthusiastic welcome, the people
knowing that wherever they were meat
was never wanting. Both men were
strong-limbed and of uncommon agil-
ity.
When an elephant rushed upon them
they calmly awaited him, and at the
right moment leaped to one side. The
elephant, not being able to stop, turned
toward one of the two brothers and the
other plunged lance into his side.
The animal then quilted the first man
and fell upon the one who had wounded
him, and at that instant the other cut
the tendons of the hind legs, bringing
the elephant to the ground.
One day, however, one of the brothers
was near falling a victim to his bold
ness. He attacked an elephant alone in
the usual way, but stumbled and fell.
He rose directly, but the elephant had
already seized him in his trunk, and
hurled him to distance of fifteen feet.
Fortunately he fell in the middle of a
thick bush, and escaped with some
scratches and bruises.
His friends laughed at the accident,
and the next day he said: 81 would
rather eat my wife seven times than
not take my revenge"
He set out again, refusing the COM
pany of his brother. Late in the even
ing he returned and called the village
together. Come" he said, "help me
bring in the tusks, and take as much
meat for yourselves as you like"
All the population followed him He

But in June, with sudden courage, he proposed
