Well-authenticate rumors to the effect

firmly resolved to have a majority of

their willingness to settle the contest

"Aw-hee-haw-hee-am.n 2

Donkey is, in Spanish, burro In Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, where the donkey is as well known as the horse, he is al. ways called by his Spanish name. The burro IS funny little animal, though he is very useful in noun tainous countries as a pack animal. He is very sure footed and will car " great loads over narrow and diff fcult trails, which are sometimes very hard for men to walk. He is not an expensive animal to keep, as he requires but little food, and will live where horse would starve to death.
 The burro is a favorite playmate with the children of the towns in Colorado and Arizona, and because he is so sure-footed and slow in his movements boys and girls feel as serene and safe upon his back as they would at home in big rocking chair The burro makes a noise which, until you become accustomed to it, will make the cod chiIls run up and down your back if you hear it in the night, but when you have learned to know it the "Aw-hee- haw-ee-aw" is very funny.-Ex.

POISON ON THE STAGE.
It Never Acts as 1t Usuasiy Does in
 Real Life.

It Never Acts as 1t Usua.iy Does fin
 Reai Life.
 If there Is anything more funny than the taking of poison on the stage and its results it is the methods used to save the lives of those that have swallowed it. The first thing that a physician does when called in to a case of poisoning is to make his patient vomit. It is a thousand times easier to get rid of such DOT. tions of the fatal dose as may not have been absorbed than it is to neutral ze them, and for that req son strong emetics followed by the stomach pump are invariably re- sorted to. This could not be done, however, on the stage, even in these days of realism, because the audi ence would be disgusted, and very properly, too. But the antidotes used are very funny.
 l remember a melodrama which 1 went to see performed when 1 was a student-I have forgotten the name, but it had long run at the Old Bowery Theatre--in which the heroine took arsenic by mistake. Of course she had the eonvulsions which stageland arsenic brings on-no other variety ever does-and the hero saved her. Howl By scrap ing plaster off the walls and giving it to her in water. It was noble act on that hero's part, and any hero who could make the alkali of lime neutralize arsenic not only de- served the hand, heart and fortune of the lovely heroine, but a leather medal from the nearest drug store for his knowledge of chemistry. A little time spent on books or with a physician would save authors of plays from asking impossibilities of the people in the cast.-North American Review.

not know how, but after a little cara ful attention and study it's as easy to keep a log book as to eat hot gin. gerbread. There is a list of letters arranged, and they look ike so much Greek to the uneducated
 The letter b, for instances, stands for blue sky, whether there be clear or hazy atmosphere; indicates cloudy or detached opening clouds, q denotes drizzling rain, small f fog, capital F thick fog, gloomy, dark weather; h hail, lighting, and m misty or hazy, so as to interfere with the view
 The letter 0 represents overcast, or when the whole sky is covered with one impenetrable cloud. Pass ing showers are noted by the letter p, and q indicates the weather to be squally. Continuous rain is indi- cated by an r, snow by an and thunder by t. Any ugly threaten ing appearance of the weather calls for the letter u, and visibility of dis. tant objects whether the sky be cloudy or not, is represented by the letter V. A small W is wet dew. A full point or dot under any letter de- notes an extraordinary degree. As an example of how the letters are used take q pdlt. This reads very hard squalls and showers of drizzle, accompanied by lightning, with very heavy thunder Numerals denote the force of the wind. A cipher iu- dicates calm, l light air, 2 light breeze, 3 gentle breeze, 4 moderate breeze, , fresh breeze, 6 strong breeze, : moderate gale, s fresh gale, 9 strong gale, 10 whole gale, II storm, l2 hurricane. This sys- tenn of abbreviation is generally ad- hered to on all merchant vessels.

A Lnekr Boy.

Some boys have a great deal of luck. Probably the luckiest boy the world ever knew was the little Maidstone { (England) boy, who had very barrow escape while flying his kite some five or six years ago. Not looking where he was going he stepped backward and fell into a quarry forty feet deep, to the horror of some persons walking near The string of the kite, however, being fastened around his wrist, the boy was lowered gently into the pit, the kite acting as parachute, and in- stead of being dashed to pieces he escaped unhurt. Perh IDS this means that he is destined to make his mark in the world. The great Lord Give, when a youth, tried three times to shoot himself, but the pistol missed fire each time.
