Queer Salutations.

The Abyssinians drop on their knees
and kiss the earth when they meet. In
saluting woman the Mandinkas take
her hand, put it to their nose and smell
it twice. The Egyptians stretch out one
hand, then lay it on their breast and
bow the head. Among the less civilized
tribes of the old world, say, the Kal-
mucks and in Polynesia, the custom of
rubbing noses is pretty general. Per
haps the most extraordinary form OF
salutation is to be found in Tibet, where
the natives put out their tongues, gnash
their teeth and scratch their ears.-Lan.

The light that lived, the breeze that died,
The single star that shone.

The Mule Meant Well.

An ex-street car mule in Los Angeles,
from force of habit, had wandered be-
tween the rails. The electric car came
along, and the mule imagined he was at
the old business. The motorman put on
little extra speed, but the mule main
tanned the regulation distance between
himself and che car. Faster and faster
went the car, so did the mule. He had
no thought of shirking, to the huge de-
light of the spectators and motorman.-

RACING FOR A MEAL.
How a ''Clay Bank" Horse Fooled His
Driver lad Nanched Hay.

How a ''Clay Bank" Horse Fooled His
Driver lnd Nanched Hay.
1t was an old clay bank cart-horse
that drew a crowd and made his driver
lose what religion he ever had in
Philadelphia, the other morning. The
animal evidently had but little or
nothing to eat for several days, and
his actions demonstrated that he was
going to get his fill while there was a
chance.
A wagon fl ed with hay was on the
car track ahead of the clay bank
horse The clay bank scented the
hay, and though the cart was laden
with bricks, started after the fodder
at speed that would have warmed
the hearts o. Gloucester habitues
The driver pulled the reins and the
clay bank ran and the faster his speed
the nearer came the quarry. The driver
on the hay wagon heard the noise Of
gathering hoofs and shouting of the
crowd behind, and he whipped up his
team, evident = fearing hat destruc-
ton was on his heels
The race for two squares was excit-
ing and the crowd became larger and
the clay bank kept up his speed in
such a fashion that he soon forced his
head deep in the hay. The crowd
cheered and still the driver said words
that might have set fire to the hay,a and
pulled on the lines TO try to induce the
clay bank to leave the unexpected
meal, but iq vain.
Finally the hay wagon came to a
stop and the clay bank seemed to ap-
preciate it for he munched the dried
grass for nearly five minutes before he
could be persuaded to leave it When
he drew out of the track he turned his
head around TO the crowd and DELHI
erately winked, as much as to say that
he had fooled the driver that time and
got a meal into the bargain.

Bank cashiers and tellers are invari-

ing through the form A gentleman
OF high character, who lives in New
York found himself obliged TO get
draft cashed at bank in small New
England town some time ago. The
town was the place of the eentleman's
early home, and he was known and re-
spected by almost every resident But
the teller, after glancing at the sig
nature on the draft said briskly:

gentleman There is Mr. h"
mentioning the name of the leading

"All right" said the teller, oblig-

and locking the money drawer, he put
his hat on and walked across the
street with the presenter of the draft

Yes, sir, an proud to know him."
was the quick reply. Without another
word the teller returned to the bank
and cashed the draft The New York

he pocketed the money: us that

1T looks as though Utah will be ad-
mitted to statehood by the next con-
gress, although the reported raising
of -, 100000 by the Mormon church
to secure that end is undoubtedly a
canard Of the worst type. Utah has
been knocking for admission into the
Union as a state for a long time, and
it is generally conceded at Washing
ton that its wish will soon be graft
fled. Former opponents Of the terri
tory have changed front on the ques-
ton, as the fear that polygamy would
thereby be placed beyond the reach
of federal authority, seems to have
been largely removed from the minds
OF the leaders in-congress.

The Speaker and Springer.

Chicago Times.
1t is estimated in dispatches to the
Times from Washington that in the
creation of committees of the present
house Mr.. Crisp, who will undoubt-
eddy be elected speaker, proposes to
substitute for Mr.. Springer, OF Hi
nois, as chairman Of the committee
on ways and means, Mr.. Wilson, Of
West Virginia.
The Times recognizes in the West
Virginia. a man well equipped, es-
pecially if it is the purpose of the
democratic party to redeem its prom
Uses at the Chicago convention in
reference to tariff legislation. The
name of Mr.. Springer, says the
Times correspondent, "will probably
be presented to the speaker by
friends Of the Illinois congressman,
but the present plan involves drop
ping him, and the fact that he is in
i'll health will be urged as a reason
for substituting Mr.. wilson"
Mr.. Springer was a candidate for
speaker of the last house, entering
against Mr.. Crisp and other contest
ants. That Mr.. Crisp was success
full was due largely to the action OF
Mr.. Springer and his friends. In the
performance of public duty consid-
erations of friendship have no place,
but human nature is frail and these
abstract declarations ought not to
count where friendship works no
detriment to the public interest.
Mr.. Crisp owes much to Mr.. Spring
or, and ought not to disappoint a
reasonable expectation upon Mr..
Springer's part that he shall be prop
erly recognized.
If it is true, however, that Mr..
Springer's health is no better now
than it was at the last session it will
be relief for him to be free of the
onerous duties of the Craftsmanship
of the committee on ways and means.
