making desperate final struggle for ex-

cation, and that the athletic club of the
institution is all ready for the running
high jump and the class team races.

He Threw Away the Cigar.

looked trustingly into his eyes.
"What is it, dearest?" he asked,
tenderly.
Don't you think, George" she
said, slowly, "that you had bet
ter throw away that cigar?"
DO you object to smoke, pet?'

"Oh, no, George, dear George;
not at all, she replied, quickly. 81

But what, dearest?"

and--and-if you should forget to
take the cigar out of your mouth
you might-even slight burn on

ing but q blush on fair cheek to
indicate that George could take a
broad hint.

Smart Coniuring.

A corporal and two privates, hav-
ing in their custody deserter, were
resting themselves at country
tavern not long ago.
The deserter amused his guardians
with several entertaining sleight-of-
hand tricks, but being encumbered
with handouts, complained that he
could not display his skill to advan-
tage, and requested to have his hands
at liberty, whilst he exhibited a
trick which he described.
This being agree to, he proceeded
to tie the hands of the three soldiers
and his own together with hand
kerchief, and he was to loose the
four with one motion Simultaneous
ly.
The magic knots were tied, but
they all remained firm except the
the one which held the deserter.
This came asunder with touch,
when he lifted up the sash and
darted through the window, leaving
his keepers raging at each other
like ill-coupled hounds.
The deserter has not been seen
since.

Two Tricks of Jockeys.

Riding backwards" or "cross
notion" of all the jockeys tricks, is
the most effective, and at the same
time the most difficult of detection.
1t is simple trick, consisting SIM
ply of throwing the motion of the
body out Of time with that of the
horse. The result is that the speed
of the horse is materially lessened.
On the other hand, when a jockey
wants to win, he takes the motion"
of the horse, and by the sway of his
body helps to lift him at every
bound.
Another trick practiced by the
Jocks is called the ''leg lock-" and
when cautiously applied has more
to do with the result of the race
than the uninitiated may think.
In effect, it is one jockey holding
another back, and this is done by
means of the ''leg lock-" Two
horses are leading the field, one a
neck ahead of the other.
AS they round into the stretch
they are running close together.
The jockey in the lead sees his
chance, and draws closer to his op-
ponent, until the horses almost
touch. He lets the second gain
on him until the leg of his oppon-
ent touches his leg from behind.
This is just what the little rascal
wants. Let his opponent win if he
can. Every lunge of the second
horse pushes the first one ahead,
firing itself, and easing the flight
of the other until the final squirt,
when the horse thus aided easily
comes in the winner.

Binding a Shark.

A successful diver must possess
great courage and nerves of steel.
Sach man. connected with large
fishing company, was visiting the
pearl fisheries in the Gulf Of Cali
fornia. On one of his trips in
quest of the pearl oyster, he had a
narrow escape from a fearful death.
He had been instructed never to
stir from the bottom until he had
looked up and around. Fortunate
ly he needed the advice. Having
filled his bag, he glanced quickly
about, and caught sight of a huge,
shovel-nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast,

lie moved quickly to the other side
OF it hoping to dodge the ferocious
monster. But the manoeuvre did
not work; the shark watched every
movement, changing his position
by a slight motion of his powerful
tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. He
worked for dear life, and had the
water thick with mud in less than
half a minute.
Slipping round the rock again he
rose to the surface and was hauled
on board just as the voracious man
eater made rush for him.

A Queer People.

The Chinese do everything back
wards. Their compass points to
the south instead of the north.
The men wear shirts and the women
trousers; while the men wear their
hair long, the women coil theirs in
a knot. The dress-makers are men;
the women carry burdens.
The spoken language is not writ
ten, and the written language is not
spoken. Books are read backwards,
and any notes are inserted at the
top. White is used for mourning,
and the bridesmaids wear black
instead of being maidens these func-
tionaries are old women.
The Chinese surname comes first,
and they shake their own hands in
stead of the hands Of one whom
they would greet.
Vessels are launched sideways,
and horses are mounted from the
off side. They commence their
dinner with dessert, and end up
with soup and fish.
In shaving, the barber operates
on the head, cutting the hair up
ward, then downward, and then
polishes it off with a small knife,
which is passed over the eyebrows
and into the nose to remove any
superhuous hairs.
