A Bewlldered surnower.

Sir Robert Ball tells an amusing anec-
dote illustrating Moore's words, "The
sunhower turns to her god when he sets
the same look that she turned when he
rose" An explorer, he said intent on
proving the truth or otherwise of this the
ory, took out sunhower seed to the arc
tic regions and planted it there. In the
course of time the plant cameupan flow
cred vigorously-just, however, at the
season when the sun never sets in thearc-
tic circle; so the poor sunflower, true to
its nature, followed the process of the
sun, expecting it to disappear at night in
the ordinary course, but as the sun didn
set at all, the flower strained itself round
and round untilit twisted its own head off.

Leopard Shooting.

Mr.. Simson writes thus: 81 consider
that exposure TO leopard on foot, with
due precaution and a proper weapon, is
only fair sporting risk, and accidents
must happen occasionally" Mr.. Sim.
son is certainly entitled TO speak. He
shot many leopards ON foot; he was
twice badly wounded by leopard, but
on one of these occasions a third leopard
unexpectedly attacked him from behind,
when he had already killed two others
In the same patch of grass jungle.
Mr.. SimsOn mentions that an old
French gentleman whom he knew used
to go about hunting for leopards with a
nondescript sort Of dog, half pariab and
half spaniel. When the dog smelled a
leopard, he would cock hisears and point
out from a respectful distance where the
leopard lay. The Frenchman kept on
peeping and peering about, wholly re.
gardless Of anything the leopard might
do in the way of attack, till he could
sight the animal. lie then killed him
almost to a certainty with single shot"

Hunting For an Old Man.

greeting, II heard that you were a very

the fireside. SO there in the ben" the

SHE TURNED The TABLES.
How Little Homely knowledge Saved
Young Lady Much Discomfort.

How Little Homely knowledge Saved q
Young Lady Much Discomfort.
A young lady through her knowledge
OF housewifery rather turned the tables
upon a would be jester one day and let
that individual, who was of the male
persuasion, into a httle' secret Of con-
siderable importance TO those who have
occasion TO work in the kitchen as anna
teurs.
The two were members of party Wis
iting an Adirondack camp in the Sara
nae lake region. Every one was well
acquainted, and the days passed merrily
away until a heavy rainstorm drove
the ladies and the less enthusiastic fish
ermen indoors and compelled them TO
seek other forms of amusement. Tho
rain continued to fall almost without
intermissiOn for several days, and as a
means to relieve the monotony the gem
tleman already referred TO proposed that
the various members Of the party try
their hand ut cooking the next meal.
Permission was obtained from the host,
the members Of the party laughingly
agreed to the proposition, and the guide,
whose duty it was TO act as cook, was for
the time sent about other business. The
gentleman acted as chef, ard with a
knowledge obtained from serving on the
house committee of a prominent New
York club proceeded to assign various
work to his aids and appointed the young
lady first vegetable cook for the express
purpose Of making her peel onions, the
odor of which she loathed.
When the party adjourned to the kitch.
en- to begin preparations, large supply Of
strong odored red onions was brought to
the lady, and shewas requested to remove
the outer cuticle. The acting chef and the
others who had been let into the secret
made merry over the supposed discomf-
ture of the rstvegetable cook, but the lat.
ter smiled sweetly and uttered no protest.
Bring me a deep pan, she said to her
helper, and when this was produced she
filed it to the brim with water. Then
she tucked up her sleeves TO the elbow,
showing just the prettiest pair Of arms
in the world, and removing her rings set
TO work peeling the onions under water
with deftness that showed how famil.
lar she was with the work and depriv.
ing it Of all its offensiveness.
1t was a revelation to the man, who
had looked either for a vigorous protest,
or had expected to see the eyes of the
vegetable cook water from the effects Of
the onion juice. The amateur dinner
was in every way success, but none Of
the cooks achieved greater triumph
than the one whose practical experience
showed to the others the common sense
method Of peeling onions.-New Yorl,
Herald.

A brown paper parcel Of goodly pro-
portions was turned in at the lost article
bureau Of the Wagner Palace Car com
pany few days ago, the contents Of
which give fair idea of the kind of ar
ticles that the travellers on the rail leave
behind them in their forgetfulness. The
bundle aforesaid contained the collection
of lost articles made by the conductor Of
one sleeping car for a month. The va
riety of articles thus accumulated was
amusing as well as interesting. When
the bundle was united on the broad Ia
bic in the lost article bureau, the first
thing that rolled out was a silver han
died shaving brush. There was no ac-
companying razor, the owner probably
having remembered to put that useful
instrument back in his satchel. A full
set Of false teeth nestled costly in a clus-
ter Of false hair and small copy Of the
Episcopal prayer book was jammed
against a neat leather covered pocket
flask. Of toothbrushes and hairbrushes
and combs there were half a dozen each.
Other things in this odd collection in
cluded a baby's milk bottle, pair Of
ladies' slippers, one patent leather shoe
once worn by man, woolen under
shirt, manicure set in Russia morocco
case, two or three empty portmonnaies,
and, most singular of all, dainty little
bonnet so attractive in form and color
that it is a wonder hsw any woman
could have forgotten it.-New York
