near. Routed by = Cow.

A comic scene took place few days
ago ut Berne. Apeasant from Oster-
mundingen was driving a COW into
the capital, and had arrived at the
Muristalden, when the animal bolted,
and jumping the rails around the
well known bear pit arrived at the
bottom without injury. The pro-
prietor thought that his cow was
lost, but he was mistaken. She at
tackled the bears bravely. which, utter
ly routed, retired into their den, into
which she would have followed them
had she not been prevented by the
keeper OF the animals, who let down
the trapdoor. Then the cow went
10 the slaughter house and fulfilled
her destiny. Pail Mall Budget.

A satirical illustration of human
ity's tendency to be pleased with q

from some of the late "reminiscences
Of the poet Rossetti. One day he
went with friend for a stroll
through the poorer quarters of Lon
don, and was greatly attracted by a
shop outside which stood cage con
tanning a curious round ball of spikes.
What is the price of thatr'
asked he.
Half o crown"
"Could you get me some more of
themg'
Certainly"
"Well, let me have twenty tomor-
row evening"
The dealer, whose stock consisted
Of a few linnets, chaffinch or two
and four or five larls, looked aghast,
and Rossetti's friend asked in sur
prise:
What on earth do you want with
all those hedgehogsa"
I'm put them in my garden" " said
the painter poet, 'and when fellows
come to SEQ my pictures they'll pass
through there. Look at this little
round ballr one of them will say.

He simply forms your style as some

who have no especially characteris-

they GO to man on Wall street. in

He asks your occupation, what
kind of business you expect to en-
gage in or are already in and then
tells you to write some notes, checks,
letters and random sentences and
sign them as you are accustomed to
do. With this as basis he proceeds
to write several suggestions for your
future guidance. He will give you
an odd capital or a twist at the end
and conformation of letters which
looks well and is hard to make, and
then you copy it until you are pro-
ficient 1t looks like an absurdity

A New Yorker taking Sunday
stroll beyond the city limits was sur
prised at the conduct of twoscore of
sparrows that fiuttered in the air q
foot or SO above bare rock in the
midst of an empty pasture. Now
and then a bird would light on the
rock, but most of the time the gray
ish brown flock poised uneasily just
over the spot. 1t looked at first as if
the birds were catching insects,
though none was visible. On the
human intruder's nearer approach
the birds still in the air took fight,
and almost as many more sprang out
of the grass Immediately about the
rock. AT the same instant the head
and rapidly moving tongue of a large
blacksnake became visible just be-
hind the rock, and he too made off,
1t was apparently clear case of bird

Valuable Cents.

Prices you must understand to ap-
ply to good coins. Better or worse
preservation would make great
difference in every case. On that
basis United States copper cent of
1898, with the clover leaf, is worth
twenty-five dollars, or five times as
much as the valuable cent of 1899.
From that the premiums on cents
run all the way down to five cents.
The valuable dates, in order of worth,
are 1898, 1899, 1904, 1895, 1895, 1909,

Hurt in His Fathers House.

A poor Irish lad was sitting by a
turf fire in his fathers cottage when
suddenly an explosion occurred and
something struck him in the eye,
causing a wound which necessitated
the removal of the eye. The only
explanation seems TO be that a car
fridge had been dropped on the turf
by some sportsman, had been trodden
in and out of sight and finally ex-
ploded when the dried turf was laid
on the fire. London Tit-Bits.
