a dollar silver certificate marked "Plate

His Pint Was Better Than a Pound.

Old sayings are nearly always truth
ful, but they must be applied with due
discretion, as woman in little store

row. An old darky called one morning
to purchase pound of shot The store
keeper being out, his wife attempted to
serve the customer She could not find
the weights, but being a good house
keeper she remembered an old saying of
frequent use in cookery, "a pint's as
good as pound the world over. !"
In her dilemma she quoted that say
ing to the darky, asking if he would be
satisfied to take a pint for pound.
The darky, with wide awake cunning,
snapped at the chance, got his shot,
paid for it and hurried out of the store.
The woman couldn't account for the
sudden hurry of his departure until she,
with pride related to her husband her
happy idea enabling her to get along

STOUT AND THIN PEOPLE.
Nature Regulates Fatness and Slimness
With an Iron Rule.


Fatness and slimness come by nature
and are therefore often impossible of
remedy, for it is Of no use, and it is ut
ter folly besides, to fight against ones
constitution, You can affect, that con-
stitution to certain extent, Mt beyond
that extent, which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks, you can
only do harm, defeat the very object you
try for, and, worst of all, throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that
II a man or woman comes of big boned,
stoutly built stock he or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency
to corpulence. Conversely, suppose man
is born OF family stock which is notable
for its thinness and slimness, it may be,
and generally is, worse than folly for
him to expect, by any process of feeding
or otherwise, to become stout and well
favored person.
So let us realize this big fact at once
that we have to face the question OF
our constitution first of all, and as SEN
sible people to see and discover whether
our fairness or our thinness is part and
parcel of our natural build. Rest assured
if we are fat by nature it is useless to
attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce
our bodies to slim proportions. Many a
man and woman has paid the penalty OF
such rashness by inducing disease
through their outrageous efforts to
thwart nature. Let us be sensible, then,
about this ''fatness' question and see
clearly where as rational beings, we
stand. 1t is possible to keep even fat
body within its own limits by reason
able care and diet, just as it may be pos
sible to fatten up thin person within
limits again by regulated course OF
food Whatever you may do in the way
of thinning or fattening, you can never
safely or, what is more to the purpose,
permanently attain your aim by the use
of drugs If there is any cure for fat
ness at all, be sure it is to be found in
the food and in the food alone. Health

England's women.s Work Exhibition.

A scheme is afoot for holding an i'm
perial exhibition of women's work in
London in 1897 or 1898. 1t is receiving
very influential support, and there is
every reason to believe that the queen
will consent to become patroness, and
most of the ladies of the British royal
family and court will serve ON the ex-
ecutive committee. For the purposes of
this exhibition the United States will
be considered as part of the British
empire, and it is expected that the
American women's exhibits will be a
great feature of the show. The Countess
of Aberdeen, of course, is one of the
the leaders of this interesting move

HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Sometimes Have Battles With Bees
For the Sweet Booty.


For the Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is craving
Of nature in all living creatures, and
birds will sometimes run great risks to
satisfy it. Bears in their eagerness to
get at the honey IN a hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into so
small hole as to endanger their lives.
and many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger of being stung to death
in their endeavors to obtain the sweet
honey that the bees store in the hollow
trunks of trees. Sometimes they will
attack bees on the wing and snap them
up for the tiny speck of nectar contained
in their sacks. Blue jays often take
position near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away few
such bird robbers would soon depopu-
late hive.
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in body
from the hive and make bold attack
upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indeed they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek
safety in flight. If the bees surround
one OF the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him to death
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tenaciously. His
fight soon becomes less energetic and
more and more uncertain until at last
he drops to the earth and gasps out his
life among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home.
In the wild forests the honey loving
birds sometimes make an organized at
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the hollow trunk of a tree.
They first discover the place of the hid
den treasure by following the bees on
warm, sunny day, and if there be an
opening in the tree large enough to adj
NIT them they plunge down the hole in
q body.
Then there follows a sharp conflict
inside the tree, the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each
snap. The only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides of the
birds. If they fail to do this, they are
soon routed, and the rich treasures of
sweets are captured by the enemies
These battles terminate i'll various ways,
sometimes the bees and sometimes the
birds coming out victorious. Our Ami

Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ of one Of
the large cattle outfits in southeastern
Montana While riding through a
clump of brush one day hunting cattle a
full grown silver tip bear suddenly
arose and confronted him. The only
weapon at hand was his lariat, and with

1t was very severe, for unluckily the
bear s fore leg as well as his head was

about to drop the rope like hot cake

down and started bucking in true

The Laws DELAY.

In a recent lawsuit in Washington
the court was frequently compelled to
cut short the cross examination of wit
nesses by a certain lawyer who was said
to believe in 1.-THE quantity rather than
the quality of questions. His point
evidently was to make the case last as
long as possible. The following, which
is given as an illustration of the man
ner of his questioning, exemplifies the
remoteness from common sense of some
of the methods of law practice:
Counsel Ito the witness) -- Was it
white?
Witness--Yes.
"You think it was whittier"
"Yes. -,
at is your opinion, then, that it was
white?'
Yes
"You are sure it was white?'

"No.''
"You are sure it wasn't black9"
II am
Wasn't it little dark colored?'
"No."
"What color was it?''
"White -
"White?''
"White. -
Here are 10 questions, nine of which
are unnecessary. But if the lawyer had
succeeded somewhere in the question
ing in undermining the certainty of the
witness he would have made small
point for his side of the case, and from
his clients point of view his long wind
ed examination would have been justi-
fed. Youth s Companion.
