English Proverbs About Women.

Women's Jars make mems wars.
A change Of wives makes men
bald.
A woman's tears are fountain OF
craft.
He that hath scold hath sorrow
to his sops.
The cunning wife makes her hus-
band her apron.
Every dog has his day; every WON
an has her way.
Every one can tame u shrew but
him that hath her.
Women are wise on sudden and
fools on reflection.
Women laugh when they can and
weep when they please.
1t is pity to see woman weep or
goose go barefoot.
Take wife's first advice, but not
her second thought.
Where women and geese are there
Ia no lack of noise.
Maids want nothing but husbands
then want everything
Women must have their wills
while alive, for they make none
when they die. Louis Globe
Democrat,

Teaching Chickens to Swim.

David Redwood, who resides near
Mitfiin, for want of hen who would
sit upon her own eggs, placed a dozen
chicken eggs under a motherly duck,
and ten little chicks were Matched.
Before they We're two weeks old this
water loving mother led her brood
to a neighboring pond and did her
best to induce the shrinking peeps to
wade in the water, but they wouldn't I
go near it, At last the Impatient
duck seized chick by the neck,
plunged into the pond and swan out
near the middle and then released
the squawking foster child. OF course
the helpless thing drowned. Then, one
after another, the duck killed all the
other nine chickens in the same way.

The Khyengs of Burmah are prob
ably the only race OF tribe of people
that have any tradition of the origin
of the human race that do not have
a man or male human being in some
way connected with that important
event. The Khyend Genesis opens
in this wise: "In the beginning of
the world, after the sun, moon and
stars had appeared, the earth, by its
own inherent power of productive
ness, brought forth female creature,
which was called Hleeneu. She laid
100 eggs and hatched them in cotton
wool, and from them sprang 100 hui
man beings, the progenitors of the
different races" The least that can
be said of this curious belief is that
it is fine illustration of the multiple
theory as applied to the origin of the
human race.-,St. Louis Republic.

The curious turnout OF Mr.. bennett,
Of Cape Elizabeth, Me-, who supplies
the cottagers with milk, eggs, strawber.
ries and other country produce, attracts
q good deal OF attention. Mr.. Dennetts
team consists Of 2-year-old bull with a
ring in his nose, bearing a crooked yoke
on his neck, harnessed to fiat bottomed
cart which will float in the water. The
animal Is driven by Mr.. bennett like a
horse. Reins of rope are attached to the
ring in the bulls noseTthey pass up
over the horns through rings attached
to them. With this queer team Mr..
bennett makes the trip to the beach
two or three times week. fording the
Sperwink river at high tide
The bull swims the river like dog
and the cart flCats like boat and will
sustain the weight of Mr.. bennett and
his load Of produce safely. When Mr..
bennett and his unique team are seen
approaching, tho cottagers throng the
banks OF the river in order to see him
make the passage. Some of the most
adventurous ones have tried the trip and

Bound to Have Damaged Good.

Bound to Have Damaged Goods.
There had been advertised what Is
commonly known as fire sale" in
Philadelphia, but as usual the rush
of customers soon purchased the en-
tire quantity of drenched muslin adj
vertised. About one week after the
sale good housewife from the coun-
try entered the store and requested
my aunt to supply her with ten yards
of the damaged goods.
She was told that the muslin ad-
vertised was sold nearly a week be-
fore, but that they were then selling
as good muslin which had not been
damaged at the same price per yard
The lady, however, refused to accept
the answer, and was so persistent in
her desire that my aunt was COM
PEELED to take ten yards of the eight
cent muslin to the cellar and rinse it
in pail of water, for which, wet as
it was, she received the same price
as when dry. The customer mean
time waited patiently and went away
happy with her damaged muslin.

Cold Coin. In a Duch,. Gizzard

I noticed the other day Peking
duck that was moping about and
making strange motions with its
head. I decided from it's actions that
it had some foreign substance in it's
digestive organs and would conse-
quently die. therefore resolved to
make an examination and see what
it was. On opening the duck found,
to my surprise, two pieces of gold
and cartridge hull. The gold pieces
were too badly worn to tell of what
denomination they were, but l think
they must have been one dollar
pieces. The cartridge hull was all
worn away and gone except the
head.-Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

A Clever Hettod cf Catching Geese IN
an Arid Portion of the Country.
The Southern Pacific overland
train was rumbling along between
Cotton and Pomona. A party of half
a dozen commercial drummers in the
smoking car were telling yarns and
interesting the other travellers. II
want to tell you little story about
my boy out purity near unto the
desert in San Bernardino county" ("
said a sunburned rancher who sat
near and had been hearing the drum
mers tell some pretty tall stories.
The old man removed pipe from
his mouth and began:
my boy is purity smart in his way,
lemme tell you, and none of em gets
the best of him. Tother dag he
rugged up kite. II was the biggest
kite I'd ever sat eyes on. 1t was
about six feet wide an twice as long,
an on the top Of it my boy placed
few green branches, which he'd cut
from an oakwood tree. What's
them furg I inquired. Never you
mine, dad, says he. Il know what
I'm about. And, by gosh, he did
He flew that kite up in the air an
stood watchin it fur long time,
when / says to him, You'd better
pull that thing down now an get to
your work 'Lemme alone, dad,
he replied. I'll git thar yet
"And, by gosh, he did. The next
time 1 took look at him he was
a-haulin in on the kite line, with
smile on his face as big as furrer.
When the kite came down near tn L.
ground saw what he was a-smilin
at, and it was enough to make q
body smile too. Any you fellers want
to guess what was on that hte2"
None of the drummers wanted to
guess and the old man went on with
his story:
well, sir, a-settin on the top O.
that kite was eleven of the purtiest
wild geese ye ever saw. Yes, sir,
eleven ON 'em. You see, the geese was
fyin north purity thick, and my boy
got up this scheme to catch 'em. |
There amt many trees out our way, i
an after fat goose has been fyin |
purity steady all day he gifts kind o

boy was countin on when he built |
that kite.
"By offerin the goose place to
stop an rest an by smearin the top
o. the kite with tar, so their feet |
would stick 80 fast they couldn't get
away, he did the business. But it
was fun pullin them geese in. Just
as fast as we could send the kite up
and pull her down again we got from
ten to dozen geese, an in four days
we captured six carloads, an I'm
taking them to Los Angeles to sell.

sell have come to them in a Legitimate
way. This secondhand market in St.
Petersburg covers nearly a whole block.
The buildings which constitute it are cut
up into all sorts of angles by arcades,
and you go through narrow aisles out
upon which look little cells packed full
of secondhand goods and presided over
by hard-looking women and villainous
men. It is said that ones pocketbook
is not safe in this quarter and that a
stranger ought not to go through it
alone. I had a guide with me, and
though the crowd was rather noisy and
somewhat impudent in their requests
that I should buy of them, saw nothing
very dangerous or terrible. In some Of
these shops you will find the finest OF
silver plate. There are bushels OF
watches and old rugs which are almost
worth their weight in gold. The
dealers, however, thoroughly appre-
ciate the value of their goods, and real
bargains are scarce. Much of the
stuff is said to be brought to the
market by servants, and now and then
YOU can pick up a piece of bric-a-brac
or plate that has been stolen from one
of the palaces. Russia has a system OF
pawnbroking, and the pawnshops are
connected with the government. The
money is loaned upon pledged articles
at fixed rate, and all pledges which
are not redeemed are sold at auction.
This takes away a great deal of the
pawning from the Jews, and the result
is that you see few pawnbrolzing shops
with the golden balls above them here.
The Jews, however, lend a great deal
of money on mortgages, and the chief
objection to them on the part of the
Russians is that shortly after Jew set
ties in peasant village he is found to
possess mortgage on every piece OF
valuable property in the village. The
Russians themselves live from hand to
mouth, and both peasants and mobiles
spend their money as fast as they make
it. They are great borrowers and are
wonderfully improvident. The result
is that the thrifty Jew has no trouble
in getting away with them, and this is
largely the reason that the car and his
government are anxious to get rid OF
him. There is law in Russia that any
Jew can be sent back to the place of his
nativity if he moves thence without the
permission of the government, and this
is what is being done with the Jews
who have emigrated from one part OF
Russia to the other. Many Of the Jews.
however, prefer in moving to leave the
country, and it is from these we sre
getting large number of our so-called
expelled Jews.

Queen Victoria is occasionally made

renowned generals and other dignita-
ries, the gifts which people choose to
shower upon her royal highness can
not always be to her complete liking.
