Story of a Greek Nliser.

Here is story of a Greek miser told
by the Roumanian papers. A Greek
died in the small town of Caracal, hav.
ing always lived on the aims of his
compatriots. Before dying he made his
wife swear that she would bury him in
the dirty old overcoat he wore every
day. The poor woman had to ask the
Greeks of Caracal to help her to pro-
vide the costs of the funeral. A good.
hearted Greek went to see her in her
afiliction, and pointing to the body,
said he would give her better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him
of the dead mans last wish. The
Greek, whose suspicious were awak-
ened, told her that she should certain
ly not part with the body until she had
we'll examined the coat, for there must
be some particular reason for the re-
quest The widow unpicked the lining
of the overcoat and found thirty five
thousand francs in bank notes, which
the miser wished to take to the grave
with him.-Tid- Bits.

Washington monument, and while he
waited for the elevator, which is no
small task, as it makes only one trip in
half hour, he fell into conversation
with the doorman in charge of the

"Why?"
Bridal couples
Don't they go up?"
Certainly"
We'll, then, / don't see" began
the reporter, but just then the two
couples alleged to be brides and bride
grooms, arose almost simultaneously
and sauntered toward the stairs, up
which they presently disappeared.
"See?" inquired the doorman, benev-
olently.
"Do you mean you can tell the bridal
couples by their walking up instead of
riding?"
II do. Them and little boys is about
the only ones that walks"
II don't quite understand" said the
reporter, innocently, with dim visions
of plodding along breathlessly up the
endless iron staircase.

where they were drilled before leaving
the state, but also as they advanced

Soldiers" he said, with great grav-
| ity, 'if there is any necessary swear
ing to be done in this regiment, call
on your colonel"
Weeks passed, during which not an
oath was heard in camp. The first
hard camping place was at Helena,

firmly fastened together, and then up
long. steep hill, where the mud-liSe
yellow putty gathered upon the wheels
and upon the feet of men and beasts.
Col. Fisk sat in his tent one day at
tending to official business, when he
heard one of his men, teamster,
swearing like a Hessian. He recog-
nized his voice, and determined to re-
prove the man at the first opportunity.
He had not long to wait "John," he
called, ''come here" John responded
with military salute and stood before
his colonel, unfinchingly.
"John, did l not hear some one
swearing dreadfully down the hill u
little while ago."
"Yes, colonel, that was me."

How to Run Fast.

In the mountainous villages of Ger
many the letter carriers are the hardest
worked people in the country. They
carry all the mail and are compelled to
go at the rate of about five miles an
hour. You know that in running q
short distance you quickly get "out of
BREATH" as You say. The German
letter carriers, tdAavoid this shortness
of breath, carry quill in the mouth
SO that the air cannot be SO rapidly ex-
PEELED from the lungs. If boys who
want to become "sprinters," or very
fast runners, will practice carry ing
something in the mouth when runn-
ing; they will find that they can soon
run long time without losing breath.
They must be very careful, though,
not to swallow what they are carry ing
in the mouth. And they must be such
careful runners that they will not fall.
Very young sprinters would do we'll to
wait awhile before trying to become
champions. Boston Budget.

Curious Relation Between Their Markings

Curious Relation between Their Markings

Ibid you ever keep white mice?" said
naturalist. Never did, eh? Well, they
are very interesting creatures, but they
exhibit one freak occasionally which
has puzzled me great deal OF course,
you know that they are alibnos-that is
to say, lusus natur;e. Now and then
among ordinary gray mice one or two
white ones will be horn. 1T is the same
with rats. Because they are odd and
pretty such albinos are sometimes pre-
served and pair of them bred from.
Naturally, they tend to reproduce
albinism in their progeny, but some of
the latter from generation to g nera-
tion are gray, reverting to the original
and normal color of the stock The
gray ones, however. are destroyed al
ways by the fancier, aud at length
pure strain of white mice is obtained.
Precisely the same thing is done with
white rabbits, which are likewise al
| binos. All white cats are apt to have
pink eyes, and to be nearly or quite
blind. AS for the mice, even in a race
| of white ones that has long been culti-
waited by selection gray specimen is
likely to turn up occasionally"
''All gray, like the ordinary mice?"
Exactly SO. Now, it is just hero
that the puzzle l speak of comes in.
Take litter of white mice in which
there are couple of gray ones and you
| will find that the behavior of the gray
mice is altogether different from that
of their white brothers and sisters
| Whereas the white ones show no fear
of human beings whatever having be-
come accustomed to them through
many generations, the gray mice from
the earliest infancy exhibit dread of
man. In fact, they behave precisely rs
small wild mice in nest would do.
Evidently reverting to the color of
their untamed ancestors they have at
the same time resumed the instincts of
the latter. Is not that worry stranger
No, cannot pretend to account for it.
1t is psychological problem, too deep
for science to do mere than guess at.
For reasons which we ara not able to
comprehend there is certain relation
between color and disposition in ani-
,.als. For example, it Is we'll known
