A MISPLACED PoULTIcE.
The Funny Result of an Enforced sl-
 fence.

The Funny Result of an Enforced Sl-
 fence.
 There is time to keep silence, but it evidently was not the right time in the case of boy mentioned, who lives in an Ontario town, says the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. He got a silver in his foot and, in spite of his protestations, his mother decided to place a poultice over his wound. The boy vigorously re- sisted.
 ''I won't have no poultice," he de- clared. stoutly.
 "Yes, you will, Eddie" declared both mother and grandmother firmly, and, the majority being two t, one, at bed time the poultice was ready.
 If the poultice was ready the boy was not, and he proved so refractory that q switch was brought into requisition. It was arranged that the grandmother should apply the poultice, while the mother was to stand with the uplifted switch at the bedside. The boy was told that if he ''opened his mouth" he would receive that which would keep him quiet. AS the hot poultice touched the boys foot he opened his mouth.
 "You-" he began.
 ''Keep stilll' said his mother, shaking her stick, while the grandmother busily applied the poultice.
 Once more the little fellow opened his ID outh.
 'I@"
 But the uplfted switch awed him into silence.
 In a minute more the poultice was firmly in place and the little boy was tucked in bed.
 ''There, now" said his mother, ''the old silver will be drawn out and Eddie's foot will be all we'll"
 As the mother and grandmother moved triumphantly away a shrill, small voice came from under the bed clothes:
 You've got it on the wrong foot!"

DINNER HOUR IN GERMANY.
A Late Dinner Would Eccessitate the In-
 vention of New Word.

4 Late Dinner Would Eecessitate the In-
 vention of New Word.
 In some respects social life in Ger many at the present day affords fair ly accurate picture of social life in Eng land nearly a century ago. The dinner hour is a case in point, says a writer In Cornhill Magazine. No highly civilized nation dimes heavily in the middle of the day, and then curls itself up to sleep for the best part of the afternoon. The Germans, however, cling to their Nit tagessen," and it would, perhaps, be awkward to alter the time of the meal, since that would necessitate the inven- tion of a new word for dinner" In more ariStocratic German circles .he dinner-hour varies from three to five, a custom that reminds one of the ab- normally long evenings and endless round games" enjoyed by Jane Aus tens heroines. Worst of all, however, are the formal entertainments in Ger many, such as the "Tafel," given. for tunately, only on grand occasions, such as a silver wedding, christening or birthday. Dinner usually begins at three or four o'clock, and continues with slight interruptions of singing, acting and speechmaking, until twelve o'clock the next morning. Our Eng fish dinner parties, even at the worst and dreariest early Victorian era, could never have attained such dimensions, if only from the fact that neither English tongues nor English stomachs can stand the same amount of wear and tear as their German equivalents.

TOSSED BY A BUFFALO.
The Terrible Experience of an African
 Hunter.

The Terrible Experience of an African
 Hunter.
 In Dr. Pruen'S book, "The Arab and the African" he decribes a nocturnal adventure of a friend of his who went out one evening in search of game, his people being in want of meat. After hunting for some time he came in sight of an antelope, and began stalk ing it. He was an expert hunter, and succeeded in getting we'll within range without attracting the antelope's at- tention; but in doing so he accomplished feat which, Dr. Pruen thinks, must be almost unparalleled in the annals of hunting.
 So cautiously did he approach through the long grass that he was unnoticed by a buffalo lying in it; and so intent was he on his expected game, that, un- known to himself, he stallzed right up to the buffalo, and stood just in front of its head, with his back to it.
 In a second the astonished animal was on its feet, and the sound brought Cole sharply round; but so close were the two that, although Coles gun was at full cock, the buffalo had caught him on the back before he could fire, and his gun flew from his hand as he went flying through the air.
 A second and third time did the in- furiated animal gore and toss him be- fore he could realize his position and re- strain his shouts. Then he lay motion less and qriet, feigning death, but eX- pecting every moment to be tossed again.
 The buffalo stood eyeing him for few minutes, and then, half satisfied that his work was done, trotted off and stood again to watch it's victim at a short distance. Then it disappeared in the jungle, while Coles native boy, frightened spectator to what had hap pened, ran to the house, two miles away, and brought assistance.

Couldn't Stand White Horses.

An old farmer in Massachusetts was about to enter hack at the funeral of his wife, when his eyes rested for a moment on the horses-a pair of grays. ''Not by long sight" he yelled. 'I won't ride after hearse behind no other members of the party endeav- ored to induce the man to enter the ve- hicle, but he absolutely refused, saying ''I'll be the next of the family to die ii do, and ain't taking any chances. 7" Finally another pair of horses were sent for, and the farmer clam bered in and the procession started.

A TOAp,S TONGUE.
Some of t!le PecuIiarities of the Batra-
 chiRn.

Some of the PecuIiarities of the Batra-
 chian.
 The toad, which is one product of the t4dpole. has some wonderful peculiari- -;cs. Did you ever see this clumsy and -;.tler lazy-looking hopper in the act of catcning a fly? He darts his tongue out several inches, so quickly that you can hardly sec it, and with all its activ- ,ty the fly hasn't ghost of a chance to escape. How does the toad do this? You may have heard the saying that a ter1na gant's tongue is hung in the mid dIe and thus wags at both ends In the case of the toad the tongue is hung ex- actly the reverse of the human tongue, that is to say, the fastening is at the front of the jaw, while the loose end hangs backward to the throat. Now when the lazy toad sights a fly he works his way up to it slowly, until he gets within range for his tongue shoot CT. Then he suddenly opens his mouth, the tongue flies out like line from a fishing pole. It strikes the fly, and a glutinous substance on the tongue holds the victim until it is dumped into the toad's capaci ous mouth.
 Another strange thing about the toad is that if it's mouth be kept open the animal will suffocate. This is because it has no ribs and no means of dilating its chest, and therefore it must swallow air as it swallows it's food. If its mouth be forcibly kept open the air will pass to the stomach instead of entering the lungs. There is one variety of toad that has no tongue at all. It inhabits dark places in Guiana and Surinam. The way in which the eggs of this animal are matched is as wonderful as it's lin gual peculiarity. The male toad places the eggs in little pits on the back of his spouse and affixes a lid for each pit. Then the female goes about her house hold duties something in the style of an Indian squaw with a papoose strapped upon her back. After some days little toadlets are matched from the eggs on the maternal back, and when they are strong enough they force the lids off the pits and hop out.

A Novel Exhibition.

The mania for something new in the sporting line recently reached it's climax in Berlin, where a prize fight took place between a man and bear. The man was a professional boxer, litter of heavy weights and an all round athlete. The bear was tame one in one of the public gardens. When time was called the man squared away at bruin. who put up his dukes in good style, but evidently he didn't know what was coming, for his opponent gave him a blow that knocked him off his center. The surprised quadruped got up, and seeing the man before him, gave him a cuff which sent him to the carpet, then grabbed him by the slack of the trous- CTS and was about to be rough with him, when the bears trainer, who stood by, called him off, and the police, thinking the exhibition demoralizinQ one. stopped the fight. The man was not seriously hurt.

INFORMATION FOR SMOKERS.
The Ash on a Cigar-A Neglected Weed
 The Ten-Center.

The Ash on a Cisar-A Neglected Weed
 The Ten-Center.
 "Few people know how to smoke cigar properly" said tobacconist to New York Sun man. ''In fact few peo- pie know anything at all about a cigar. Many imagine that in order to obtain all the flavor of good cigar it is neces- sary to keep it free from ashes. As a result they snap the cigar with their fingers until the wrapper is broken and their Havana is useless. They destroy their cigar in the attempt to remove the very thing that preserved its flavor. Again, it is the popular belief that cigar partly smoked and then allowed to go out as worthless. But the con- trary is the case. A good cigar is made still better if the smoker lights it. con- sumes it partly and, after expelling all the smoke from the weed, permits it to go out. Try it and see. do not say that this holds good with poor cigars or with good cigar unless you force the smoke out of it, but do as I say and you will see that it adds to the pleasure of your smoke. Not one man out of a hundred can tell a good cigar. Why, men come in here and buy twenty-five cent cigars who cannot distinguish be- tween what they buy and fve-cent cigar, so far as the quality goes. A mans taste must be educated in this as in everything else. He must be taught to tell good cigar from poor one. Some men have smoked such rank ci- gars for years that now they cannot taste cigar unless it is the blackest, strongest and sharpest on the market. The stronger cigar the more likely is it to be of inferior quality. Lastly, never buy ten-cent cigar. Let it be five, or fifteen, or over, but never buy a ten-cent one. Why? Because the ten cent cigar is made of the leavings of higher priced cigars, and for that reason is inferior to them. A gook five-cent cigar is made of first-class, second-grade tobacco, which makes better smoke than second-class first grade tobacco, or the ten-cent cigar"

A FATAL JEWEL.
The Romance of Ring Owned by Span-
 ish NOh!es.

lSh 4NOD2CSs
 One of the strangest jewels which figure around the neck of the statue of our lady of Almudena at Madrid is q ring which bears a curious connection with the misfortunes which have so con- tinuallY afflicted the royal house of Spain during the last two decades.
 It is a magnificent opal surrounded by great diamonds. The late King AL fonso XII. gave it to his cousin Mcr- cedes when he was betrothed to her, and she wore it during the whole of her short married life. On her death the young king presented it to his grand mother, Queen Christina, who died shortly afterward. Then it passed to the kings sister, the Infanta del Pillar. No sooner had the latter entered into possession of this fateful gem than she began to sicken, and few days later she died. Alfonzo sent the ring to his sister-in-law Christina, the youngest daughter of the Due de Montpensier, but in three months she also breathed her last. His majesty, struck by this horrible succession of events, now re- solved to retain the jewel in his own keeping, but he, too, only too soon fell a victim to its mysterious malignancy. By order of the present queen it has now been suspended by chain around the neck of the Holy Virgin of Almu- deDa

Workmen Pulled It Half the Way and
 Dragged It the Rest.
 A sportsman who went out snipe shooting one Sunday stated that he walked twelve miles by the pedometer and shot three snipe and came home we'll satisfied, says the Portland Oregonian. This brought up a dis cussion as to the reliability of pedomet- CTS and other meters, and their interior arrangements, etc. Col. Smith, super intendent of the water works, said once when he was running a meridian between the Cherokees and Choctaws they had sort of go-cart with an odometer attached, which was pushed along over the line run, and which was was made by the chairmen it was at once detected. One day they had to go about twenty miles and two men were sent to push the odometer cart over the line to test the distance. On arriving at the end of the days work he was astonished to see that the odometer registered only little over mile. h. vestigation for some time failed to ac- count far this miscalculation. The men asserted that they had gone every foot of the line and had not tempered with the machine, but at length it was found that they had pushed the cart about half the distance and then dragged it the rest, and so run down what they had first run up.
