She sat beside her lover. with her elbow on his

The Negroes IIumOr.

From an article by Colonel Richard
M. Johnston on middle Georgia Rural
Life" in the Century, we quote as fol-
lows:
among the old-time negroes in the
region that we have been considering
was much of humov very interest
ing. Their speech, by constant con-
tact with the white mans, which it
sought to initiate, had curtness and
vivacity never heard on large sea-
board and river plantations. In the
lightness of the Negroes heart, with an
imagination that never sought to be
curbed, his words and his department
often had fun as racy as any lover of
that article reasonably could wish to
see. Even his complainings, oftener
than otherwise, were put forth with a
resentment 50 peculiar as to provoke
as well laughter as sympathy. Wit
ness the following anecdote of the re-
turn to his old master, not very long
ago, of one of his former slaves after
having served another person for a
year:
"'Why, Jim. how happens it that
you quit Perkinsp' asked the gentle.

GREAT IS Staff"
What 1t is Doing for the Worlds Fair.

Many of the smaller features would
be notable for beauty and for size if
they were not here made pigmies by
contiguous grandeur. Like the larger

staff this free-hand sketch of what the
world might have in solid architecture,
if it were rich enough. would not have
been possible. With staff at his COM
mand, Nero could have afforded to
fiddle at a fire at least once year.
One of the wonders of staff as seen at
Chicago is its color. Grayish-white is
its natural tone, and the basis of its
success at Jackson Park; but it will
take any tint that one chooses to APP
ply, aud maintain a liveliness akin to
the soft bloom of the human skin.
Staff is an expedient borrowed from
the Latin countries, and much cult
waited in South America. Any child
skilled in the mechanism of mud pie
can make it. after being provided with
the gelatin molds and water mixture
of cement and plaster. How the work.
men appeared to enjoy seizing hand
fuls of excelsior or fiber, dipping them
in the mixture and then sloshing the
fibrous mush over the surface of the
mold. When the staff has hardened,
the resultant cast is definite, light and
attractive. A workman may walk to
his job with square yard of the side

How to Trap a Tiger.

In trapping tigers for export the
Malays dig hole about ten feet deep,
making the bottom twice as large in
area as the top. to prevent the animal
from jumping out after being once in.
The whole completed, small brush.
wood is lightly laid over its surface,
and close by in the direction of the
mouth OF the pit bullock is chained
to tree. On seeing the bullock the
tiger springs for his expected prey, and
alights in the pit. A bamboo cage is
placed over the pit,which is then filled
with earth, the tiger gradually coming
to The surface. Once in the cage. the
Malays lace and interace BAN boo and
rattan under the tiger. Spring-gun
are sometimes used, but not often, as
they are dangerous to dogs and human
beings.
once went on tiger-hunt, but it
ended in buffalo-hunt. We organized
party Of five Europeans and ten ma
tives. We started on foot, because it
is impossible to ride through the jungle
on horseback. On finding tigers
footprints, we followed them to a
ravine. where the tiger had been drink
while eating. heard groans which we
thought were from the tiger. Follow
ing the sound, we saw an enormous
man eating tiger dashing away
through the brush. Shots were fired
without effect. On going farther. we
discovered that he had found buffalo,
and had been making short work of
him. These buffaloes are not like those
found in America, but smaller, and
more like an OK.
Later this same tiger was caught in
a trap. We knew it was the same, for
not more than one is found near q
village at a time. On an average four
or five people were killed by tigers on
this road in the course of year. They
generally seize their prey after dusk,
and for this reason it is never safe to
travel on these roads after six o'clock
at night. 1t is said that tiger often
selects his man during the day, and
overtaken by dusk, when he springs
on him. Two gentlemen were once
walking over II pineapple plantation,
when they discovered that they were
followed by tiger. They were three
miles from home, and, having nothing
but shot-guns for weapons, could not
fire at the animal. He kept at the
same distance behind them all the
way, and they reached home before he
attempted to attack. The natives are
in constant terror of these animals, and
1t is almost impossible to send them
out after dark. l have paid twenty
dollars to native for taking
message to the Maharajah after six
o'clock at night.--John Fairtie, in the
Century.

MCcKlhc.BlRO JOKES.
How One Bird Sent Twenty Buzzards 70
Flight-His Love of Fun.

No one who has studied the ways OF
birds can doubt that many OF them
have a strong sense of humor, says the
Youths Companion. They play jokes
on each other, perhaps even on us, ana
they "see the point" in an astonishing
way. The catbird is a notable example
of the feathered joker and the mock
ing bird is little, if any, behind him In
this regard.
A droll exhibition of his love OF FUN
was once given by a mocking-bird con-
fined in a cage that was separated only
by a network partition from a large
family of canaries. When first placed
there he seemed to be struck dumb by
his voluble neighbors, while the truth
was he was simply biding his time.
Several days he remained silent, tax,
ing notes, mastering their song, and
suddenly, without, SO far as is known.
any preliminary rehearsal, burst out
into the canary song in loud, ringing
tone that struck every little yellow
throat speechless for time.
After this it was his favorite amuse-
ment to keep quiet until half OF the 2OO
canaries were singing at the top OF
their voices, and then, without warn
ing, break into the melee of music
with their own trills and quavers, so
loudly delivered as completely to
eclipse them and compel instant
silence. Then he hoped gracefully
back and forth on his perch, flirting
his tail and jerking his wings to show
his relish of the CONSERVATION he had
caused.
A curious exhibition was given by a
free -mocking-bird toward playful
kitten on the grass. The bird took his
place on tree almost directly above
pussy, leaning far over, jerking his
tail and uttering peculiar sound like
the fluff" of an excited cat. This is,
in fact, the birds war-cry, and for the
little fellow to declare war upon the
hereditary enemy of his race, even in
infancy, was very droll, and his man.
ner showed plainly that he intended
it as joke.
On one occasion in the south, when
something had attracted to certain
spot beyond the fence crowd of the
enormous turkey-buzzards native to
that part of the country, hooking
bird CHANGED to notice the unusual
gathering. His singing ceased, he flew
across the yard and perched on the
fence close to where they were busily
engaged in the road.
A few moments he stood motionless,
looking at them; then suddenly, with
a loud war-cry, dropped down among
them.
CONSERVATION fell upon the specta-
tors! Would he be killed? They start
ed to go to his assistance when they
were amazed to see the buzzards in
stantly rise in a panic-twenty of
them. The mocking-bird knew them
better than we did, and undoubtedly
intended joke, for the next moment
he hoped gaily upon the fence and
resumed his song, wriggling his little
body and flirting his wings in sug-
gestive way.

THE SACACiTY OF WABBLES.
How n Cat of That Name Overcame . Big
Rodent.

The office cat who chews up rejected
manuscripts for one of the big MORN
| ing newspapers rejoices in the name of
Wabbles, says the N. Y. Commercial
advertiser. This eccentric cognomen
was bestowed upon her through the
remarkable habit that she has of con-
tinually walking sideways with her
tail all askew and the general I'M
steadiness of her bearing. But Wab-
bles, though she may excite hilarity
by her unique demeanor, is no fool.
She proved this fact very thoroughly
last night, and if she could compre-
bend the compliments that have since
been showered upon her she would
certainly be a very bad case of feline
swelled head.
Wabbles is particularly fond of mas
ticating unused telegraph copy and at
night she frequents the telegraphers'
room. The rats which live in the old
walls of the building have a penchant
for the same apartment and the copy
readers frequently lay aside their
deadly blue pencils to witness finish
fight between Wabbles and some pug
nacious rodent. Yesterday evening
shortly after the men had reached
their desks, series of squeaks from
one of the dark corners announced the
fact that battle was going on.
This time Wabbles was plainly in
for it. Her opponent was veteran
with long gray whiskers, and he sailed
into the feline with gore in his optic.
1t soon became evident to the interest
ed spectators that Wabbles was slow
ly retreating, and odds were freely
laid that the rodent would score a
knockout. In the center of the room
stood bucket half-tilled with water
which one of the scrubbers had left
there. Wabbles retreated toward it.
The rat followed. When the bucket
was reached the cat shot into the air,
caught the rat in the back of the neck,
and with vicious swing. dropped her
enemy into the soapy depths of the
pail. Then, waving her tail in triumph,
she ambled over to the stove and
calmly went to sleep beneath it. The
rat went to watery grave.

CHILDISH LACK OF COMMON SENSE
Grasshoppers, Pigs and Cows Formally
Tried for Murder.

To prove that the human family of
three or four centuries ago had a child
ish want of common sense. and that
they were bound by an absurd devo-
ton to forms and customs, we need
but refer to a few of the remarkable
animal trials of the sixteenth century.
One of the most celebrated of these
was a case tried in Savoy in 1915, when
suit was brought, in the name of the
people, against the grasshoppers, which
were then ravaging the country. A
lawyer was found to undertake the de-
Tense of the insects, and the records,
which are still accessible to-day, prove
that he exhausted his ingenuity in
pleading their cause.
Seeing that they could do nothing
better, and that the grasshoppers were
fast laying waste the country, the
magistrates agreed to formally deed
them large tract of country on con-
dition that they would leave the re-
mainder untouched. The lawyer took
the proposition under advisement and
spent several days looking over the
proposed Canaan of his clients. He
iSbuihCN w COuIt anu ueClaTeu
that "his clients could not accept the
proposal, because the land offered them
was an abandoned and sterile tract,
producing little or nothing suited to
their uses and sustenance."
The court decided the case against
the grasshoppers, however and they
were ordered and commanded. to
remove forthwith to the district set
apart for them. They must have re-
FUSED to obey the mandates of the
court, for the records tell of a great
famine in Savoy that year caused bv
the ceaseless warfare of the grass
Jumpers against everything that God
made green"
Hundreds of court records in France
Spain, Holland, Italy and Austria
prove that animals were tried for all
sorts OF great and petty crimes up to
within the last hundred years.
In 1882 COW was tried for murder
at Poitonf, France, and five years later
a pig, which had killed a child in the
streets of Menlan, was thrown into
prison, tried, and finally strangled in
the market-place.
Any one who has access to a library
containing sets of Meliott's "Remark.
able Trials" can prove that the above
specimens are not fanciful sketches
