A Question of balances,

The French Canadian habitans are not
without q considerable sense of humor, and
they highly appreciate the following story
told of q prosperous baker in town not
far from Quebec: a,..,
The baker was in the habit of buying his
butter in pound balls or rolls from farm
er with whom he had good deal of 'dick-
err" Noticing that these butter balls looked
rather small, he weighed them and found
that they were all under pound in weight.
Thereupon he had the farmer brought
before the magistrate and accused of dis
honest practices ,-. r5e-ra
"These butter balls" said the judge to
the farmer, certainly weigh less than a
pound. Have you any scales?"
II have" answered the farmer.
"And have you weights"
Mono weights"
"Then how can you weigh your butter
ballsS'
'That's very simple" said the farmer.
'While I've been selling the baker butter
I've been buying pound loaves of bread
from him, and use them for weights on
my scales!'
The farmer was acquitted. But as butter
is worth more by the pound than bread
he found presently that he had to provide
himself with iron weights for his scales in
order to prevent the baker from cheating
him stilL-Youth's Companion.

Hlndoostanee Titles.

A few words of elementary instruction in
Sanskrit and Hindoostanee about the mean
ing of the titles borne by the oriental po-
tentates. The simplest of these royal titles
is that of rajah, which is literally king"
but is applied even to a petty princeling. A
maharajah is great king''-usually a
ruler who retains some degree of actual
sovereignty and is not compelled TO look to
the British official resident at his court for
authority to act The feminine of rajah H.
rani. better known in the Anglo-Indian
form of rance, and this is the proper desig-
nation of reigning Hindoo princess or
queen.
A begun, whose characteristics every
reader of Thackeray knows, is any princess
or other lady of rank and wealth-the word
being the Anglo-Indian term for the Hin
doostanese begun. a princess. Nawab is
our familiar '.nabob," which has its origin
in the same Hindoostanese word. Official
ly nawab is deputy governor or vice
roy. In pronouncing the word the as
should be given the value of a in fall, -
and the accent placed on the final syllable.
In rajah the as are given the sound of in
father and its natural sound.-St. Louis

Didn't Need sympathy.


A Tammany brave caused furry in the
treasury department day or two ago by
ingeniously circumventing one of the cast
iron regulations provided for the clerks in
Uncle Sans big beehive. One of the rules
NEST strictly enforced is that no employee
can be seen by outsiders during business
hours, Except in case of sickness or death. !"
The Tammanyite was very anxious to see
a friend before returning to New York,
and, upon being Informed of the rule, was
for q moment at a loss how to proceed.
Suddenly bright idea struck him.
please say to the chief of division" he
said to the doorkeeper, in plaintive tone,
that want to see Brown very much. My
grandfather is dead.
The doorkeeper performed the errand
with alacrity, and Brown speedily ap-
peared and shook the Tammanyite's hand
with much sympathy. II am very sorry,
old man, to hear of your grandfather's
DEATH" he said. II know that sympathy
don't amount to much on these occasions,
butt am really very much panied" ''Oh,
that's all right" responded the New York

The Legend of Standing Rock.

While on the trip through North Dakota
Inspector Watkins was told by the Indian
agent at Standing Rock agency the legend
of the stone from which the place gets it's
name.
dition, buck and his squaw were, on q
journey down the Missouri river to visit
some relatives at distant point. Where
Fort Yates now is the buck saw a young
squaw of surprising beauty, with whom he
fell desperately in love. In spite of the
tears aud entreaties of his lawful wife, he
refused to proceed on the journey or in any
other direction, but resolved to stay right
there The deserted squaw exhausted her
entreaties and her tears and finally arose
to leave the place alone. AS she did so she
stepped back in the spot where she had
been sitting and turned to stone. There
she has remained ever since. standing re-
proach to her faithiess lord and master to
all his kind. BY faint stretch of the
imagination the standing rock from which
the agency gets it's name can be made to
take the outlines of a woman.
The Indians believe the story and pay
homage to the monument of mans perfidy
While the inspector was at Fort Yates he
saw an Indian approach the rock, bow rev.
erently and lay something at it's base.
When the Indian had gone the inspector
and the agent went out to see what the
Offering was 1t was a chew of tobacco,
no heavy sacrifice it might be said but
perpaps it was the last the Indian had

A Dinner That Is Remembered.

A Dinner Ih0c Is hemem O0reOs
The celebrated Chinese dinner ut the
Montauk club was held on the evening of
Thursday, June IA, 1889. There were sixty.
five men who partook of the spread, and
regretted ever afterward having adopted
the suggestion of George w. Sillcox, the
proposer of this original feast in the an
nails of Brooklyn clubdom. The diners ate
''Gin War;" supposed to be shrimps, which
tasted like mild blend of mush and gun
powder. They then waded through 'Tou
Che, "Gi Pin" and Pack Cop" this lat
ter being Chinese for roast pig.
There is no evidence in the report of the
dinner that such fashionable Cantonese
dishes as roast cat or stewed mice were
served to the guests, but after a libation of
sue Geo." or rice wine, the only man who
didn't wish for death was Thomas E. Pear
sail. 1t took an immense quantity of
Ciquot to restore the unhappy guests to
anything approaching desire to live
without a corresponding desire to lynch
Mr.. Sillcox. The flavor of that dinner is
still a painful memory with the gallant
sixty-five who partook of it, and ever since
they are said to be pronounced in their
views about the Chinese.-Brookly Eagle

When Women Began to Paint.

1t is probable that men painted their
faces long epochs before this privilege was
accorded to women, following in this re-
spect the law among birds and beasts. from
the ranks of which they had just emerged.
Nature had made from the beginning the
male of the animal kingdom more beauti-
full than the female, and the popularity
was duly transmitted to the first of the
human race 1t is certain, however, that
when women began to paint their faces it
was with zeal that more than compensated
the weary ages of wounded vanity gone be-
fore. The earliest fragments of history
which have come down to us, recounting
the names, the deeds or the eccentricities
of ancient women. show that at the periods
in question the practice was already of q
highly respectable antiquity. It was COM
mon among the Assyrians, who dwelt near
the cradle of the race and inherited it in di-
rect line from our first parents.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle

would be no less than 1880 pounds Of
coal per hour, equivalent to the work Of a
steam engine of 5000 horse power! This
enormous expenditure of fuel would be
sufficient to melt a thickness of about
forty feet of ice per minute at the SUMS
surface. Sir John Herschel says, Sup
posing cylinder of ice forty-five miles in
diameter to be continually darted into the
sun with the velocity of light, and that the
water produced by it's fusion were continu-
ally carried of, the heat now given of
constantly by radiation would then be
wholly expended in its liquefaction, on the
one hand, SO as to leave no radiant sur
plus, while, on the other hand, the actual
temperature at it's surface would undergo
NO diminution. "-Gentleman's Magazine.

THE SPANISH BAYONET.

A thick, sharp nest of dagger pointed leaves.
Black tipped from the gray mesa rises green.
And from it's heart there springs amidst the
sheen
As a white pinioned bird the sunshine cleaves:
A Hope, who life's sharp bitterness relieves
A blossom spire that greets the sky serene,
In calm dominion DER the desert scene,
Thick hung with creamy bells that chime
strange breves.
O Yucca gloriosa! spirit soft
And full of strange mysterious subtle scent.
Slow swing thy fair, white blossom bells aloft
In the calm mesa's wide environment.
Ringing the dirge Of that old race which oft
Heard music in thy bells and smiled content.
Florence E. Pratt in Outing.
