betting was done on time. Odds OF To were
LAID that the Danes would win inside of thirty
minutes, but the way in which the contestants
yanked the rope was evidence sufficient that
the game was pre- arranged, and on Ihis ground
all bets made on time were declared of. The
Danes won IN % minutes.

lasted only ten minutes. The Canadians aid

Lord Roses TIN.

gineer Of no mean order. Itseems that
the other day he entered the engine
room of a large mandatory and gazed
in q rather careless manner at tho
working Of the machinery. Suddenly
he was seen to shake his head, pull his
watch out and to look first at the en-
gine and then at the timepiece. Tho
engineers attention had been attract
ed by this somewhat odd behavior Of

him in rude and aggressive manner,

''it's all the same to me; I've got no
fault to find. I'm just waiting till the
boiler explodes." "The boiler ex-
plodes! Why, you are crazy, mani"
exclaimed the engineer angrily, pre-
pairing to turn the peer out as dan
gerous crank. "Well," retorted the
earl. "if you work ten minutes longer
with that loose screw there the boiler
will certainly explode" The engineer,
gazing in the direction indicated by
Lord Rosse, paled and jumped to stop
the engine. "Why the devil didn't

ALaeend Of the Panay.

A pretty fable about the pansv is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
and Ave sepals. In most pansies, es-
pecially of the earlier and less highly
developed varieties, two Of the petals
are plain in color, and three are gay.
The two plain petals have single
sepal, two of the gay petals have a
sepal each. and the third, which is the
largest OF all, has two sepals. The
fable is that the pansy represents ,
family, consisting of husband and
wife and four daughters, two of the
latter being step-children of the wife.
The plain petals are the step-children,
with only one chair; the two small.
gay petals are the daughters, with a
chair each, and the large gay petal Is
the wife, with two chairs. To find the
father one must strip away the petals
until the stamens and pistils are bare.
They have fanciful resemblance to
an old man with flannel wrap about
his neck, his shoulders appraised and
his feet in a bath-tub. The story is
probably of French origin. because
the French call the pansy the step
mother. Magazine.
