Chinese Yarns.

Tho priest told us stories of tigers, and
OF birds that turned to snakes and bit their
owners and of men whom devils seized and
thrust living into graves. He also gave an
account of the capture of Peking in 1860 by
acuckoo clock, which rs far as remember
has escaped the attention of historians.
And so the foreign men," he said, en-
phnsizing the last word to draw my at
tcntion to the compliment implied '.thc
foreign men, they made clock. Who
shall say how big? And on top there was
an iron bird that Tapped its wings and
cried, 'Killaw, kikaw.' A man told me
this. And inside there were wheels and
machinery and fire powder So they gave
1t to the emperor The empcror-who
shall say how pleased hc was-tooIl it and
put it safe in his palace Put it in his
palace. Then not many days and it burst
to pieces, pow and men wcro killed past
counting, and in rushed the foreign sol
dicrs and plundcred and killed and burn

A Clever Trader.

a clergyman of Gainesville, Ga, has n
boy who is remarkable snapper "Not
many months ago." says his father, 81
bought him knife. Like boy, he left it
out one night, and it got rusty. Then he
lost interest in it and began ut once to
swap it off. Well, the littlo rascal has nat
urally knack for trading, and, sir, he
took that rusty knife and with little
work on it and good deal of talking he
succeeded in exchanging it for two good
knives. These knives in turn he traded
for thrco knives, worked considerably on
them and got a cheap watch for tho three.
lie kept trading till he had completed AZ
different bargains, most of them in his
favor. AT the end of the forty-scvcnth
trade no owned Il shotgun, hound puppy,
two Jackknivcs and 65 cents in money, be-
sides other smaller trinkcts too numerous
to mention. Now York Tribune.

F-r-i-Yestcr, Day. Day.

Annie Goodwin is tho brightest little
thing for years that one meets with in
long time.
Her mother, not caring to send her away
to school, teaches Annie Mt home.
She proves n most conscientious student
and works hard ut her daily lessons. The
other night her father dropped in lust as
she was preparing for bed.
To see what progress his little girl had
made during the day III spelling, in which
she was rather backward, he asked her to
spell number of words. She did SO, not
missing one. Finally he said:
Now, Annie here is hard one, and if
you spell this one correctly I'll bring you
some candy tomorrow. How do you spell
yesterday"
Annie was staggered. With the puzzling
word and promise of sweets she looked
nervously around the room Suddenly her
face frightened, and with q smile of tri-
umph she answered, with her eye fixed
upon nearby calendar:
Fri, yestcr, day, day, yesterday. -

To Start a Balky Horse.

An officer of the police detail said recent.
ly: "When was mounted policeman, I
learned OF n most humane and kind meth
od of curing a balky horse 1t not only
never fails, but it does not give the slight
est pain to the animal. When the horse re-
fuses to go, take the front foot Mt the fet-
lock and bend the leg Mt tho knee Joint.
Hold it thus for three minutes, and let it
down, and the horse will go. The only
way in which can account for this effect
I've mastery of the horse is that he can
think of only one thing Mt time, and
having made up his mind not to go my
theory is that the bending of the leg takes
his mind from the original thought. -
