Those familiar with the "Fables of
Esop" will remember the reputation
which Reynard bears among the rest of
the animals. 1t is questionable whether
any wild creature can compete with the
fox in craftiness. To look at him gen
orally, even in his ordinary habits, he
exhibits an amount of cleverness which
astonishes one Should fox catch a
hedgehog, whose spines effectually pro-
tect him from most of his enemies, he
does not waste time, as a fox terrier
will do, in endeavoring to worry his
prey. He merely rolls him to the near
est water, knowing that a drop or two
will cause the animal to relax his hold.
1t is rare thing to catch one in a
even. If he is inside when the trap is
set, he waits until some other animal
springs it and then energies to eat the
victim and the bait. Only when driven
by. the terrible pangs of hunger will he
tempt fate in his own person. Most an
imals gorge themselves when they are
fortunate enough to come across super
abundance of food Not so with Reynard
Should he find poultry yard we'll
stocked and ill protected he fills his
larders first. Nor does he, as the prov
erb says, ''put all his eggs in one bas-
ket ," He puts one fowl in a hedge,
hides another in bush, places third
in hole in tree. rapidly digs cavity
for fourth and covers it up again, re-
Numbering in each case where his stores
are concealed. And when his supplies
are sufficient In his own estimation he
takes fine fat chicken or duck to his
"earth" for present enjoyment.

Looking Backward.

The superstition Of the i'll luck of
looking backward or returning is a
very ancient one, originating doubtless
from Lots wife, who "looked back
from behind him" when he was led by
an angel outside the doomed city Of the
plain. In Roberts Oriental Illustra-
lions" It is stated to be considered ex-
ceedingly unfortunate in Hindoostan for
men or women to look back when they
leave their house. Accordingly, if a
man goes out and leaves something be-
hind him which his wife knows he will
want, she does not call him to turn or
look back. but takes or sends it after
him, and if some great emergency obliges
him to look back he will not then pro-
coed on the business he was about to
transact. "-Exchange.

IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT.
Veterinarians Say They Know Of No OBJ
lection to Its Use.

Veterinarians Say They Know Of No OBJ
lection to Its Use.
"Shall we eat horse?" is a question
which Philadelphia newspaper has
been putting to leading veterinarians.
While none Of them answered squarely
in the affirmative, there was general
concurrence in the opinion that horse
meat makes rather good eating at a
pinch. Francis Bridge said, 1.-The flesh
is as nutritious and in flavor as good as
that Of the bovine, and | see no good
reason to interdict its uso as human
food w. l.. Zuill declared that he
would eat it in preference to pork. 1t
is "moro juicy and of better flavor than
OK flesh," he said. S. j. J. Hargar,
who had once eaten mule tenderloin,
found it inferior in fiber and taste to
beef
E. M. Michiner thought that horse
flesh was not injurious to "human
health" and he pointed out that nei-
Their tuberculosis, actinomycosis or tri
china was found in the horse, the ex-
ception being noted that rare cases of
tuberculosis had been recorded John
w. Gadsden believed that the flesh Of
young horses properly cooked was good
for man, and he thought that if horses
got much cheaper There would be
great temptation to try it. " Samuel G.
Weber said: "The flesh of the horse
seems to remain tender with age and
has more pungent SAVIOR than that of
other animals From these superior
qualities it may readily be seen why it
should be more digestible than other
meat, which often comes from animals
which are prematurely as we'll as ex-
cessively fattened. In Europe, where
raw meat is prescribed by physicians, it
is generally that Of the horse. They
claim it is more healthy for those I'M
dergoing severe muscular exercise and
more nut-'tious for the weak and an@-
MIC"
Alexander Glass sounded a warning
in the following experience: SIN two
instances, when ate horsefesh, found
the meat very tender and rather pleas
ant to the taste. At the time I could
not shake off the thought, What if this
horse had incipient glanders?' for some
Of that meat was very rare" Several
years ago DR.. Huidekoper of Philadel-
phia invited some members of the Phil
adelphia club and of the City troop to a
dinner, at the conclusion of which he
announced to his guests, who were much
pleased with the repast, that they had
dined off the carcass of his old white
horse Fedora.

eRoNzEs OF OLD BABYLON.
Casts Of Figures Made -Four thousand

Years Ago.
There have been placed on exhibition
In the Babylonian room of the British
museum some very fine specimens Of
Babylonian bronze castings These in
teresting specimens Of early metal work
come from place known to the an
eients as Sir-pur-ra, or Lagash, the
modern name of which is Tell-lo,
large mound or site in southern Chal-
dea. One of the bronZes shows the king
of Babylonia, who appears clean shay
en-, in the dress of the high priest. The
garment reaches down to the feet and
is crossed over the left shoulder, leav-
ing the right arm, which is raised, bare.
The statuette is full length one, stand
ing ON it's own double plinth, and is
some 10 inches high. This bronze comes
from Abu Habbab and dates about B.
,. 1900. A second statuette represents
= king in the attitude of alteration or
contemplation, having his hands raised
and clasped together in similar man.
ner as the god Nebo is represented. The
king wears long, flowing beard, but
no costume can be traced. This figure is
not full length, being cut off about the
calves, and represents probably the
Chaldean king, Gudea, B. G. $500.
The third figure, which stands seven
inches high, represents Camil-Sin, king
of Babylonia, in the character of basket
bearer, both arms being uplifted and
supporting basket borne on the head.
The date of the figure is about B. c.
5000. It is supposed that these statuettes
may have been dedications to Ningirsu,
the fire god, whose worship was par
ticular cult at Tell-lo
The art Of making bronze casts was
known to the Babylonians from very
early times, and many examples are to
be seen in the British museum as we'll

Babylonian queen, taken from the orig
inal in the Louvre, stands by the side
of the new additions, casts of which
have been sent to the French museum.

what Hor Descendants Might Have Had
In Interest From Them.
A woman recently died in aneighbor-
ing town. and besides granddaughter
and her cynical husband she left few
relatives and $50 in gold, with other
things. The woman was over 90 when
sshe died, and the $50 included her we'd
ding presents. Like many persons in
those days. she held fast to the shining
eagles and had had them for nearly n
years. When she died, of course the
birds We're distributed among the heirs.
The cynical husband. who was married
to the old lady VS. favorite granddaughter,
unused upon the $50 in gold and strip
ped his thoughts of all sentiment as he
speculated in his mind what might have
been. He is not quite through figuring
yet, and his constant query is, if grand
mother had only put that $50 in the
bank when she first got it, what a clutch
Of golden eagles we would have now!
He unused on this as he get ready on
cold mornings to go to work, and his
favorite topic of thought was suggested
as he jingled a nickel and a bunch of
keys looking for his Car fare. Then he
began to figure that money at per cent
: double in about IL years, and he lost
sleep as he thought how many times II
years went into n years. When the
cynical husband finally referred the
question of his losses to bank man, he
learned that in 80 years the $50 in gold
would have amounted to 81, 47S. 60.
Without figuring any further on the
problem, the bank man said he would
easily consider that $40, 900 was lost by
saving the $50.
It is not an unusual thing in some of
the old banks to have an account doubled
many times over and over again. One
day last week in the Worcester county
institution for savings an account was
reckoned at $214.03 which originally
was but $10.65. Nothing has ever been
added to or taken from the bank account,
and it was left to accumulate. It took
about so years for the original sum to
gather all that moss. There was anoth-
,er instance in the same bank where
thirty-one times the original sum was
paid to . depositor. No one won
ders that somebody discovered and said
that money makes money.-Worcester

The Fight That He Made Against All
Signs of Old Age.
Bulwer's appearance was decidedly
what is generally understood by "aris-
tocratic," or what the French call "dis-
tingue.' Tall, slim, with finely cut fea-
lures, prominent among which was a
long aquiline nose, with an abundant
crop Of curly brown hair and full
beard, the first impression he produced,
aided by careful toilet, was one of
ease and elegance. At a dinner table,
where he liked to speak, and, if posi-
BILE, to speak alone, he was certainly
useful as we'll as ornamental, with his
large blue ribbon and star of the Order
of the Bath. There was a certain mai
vete. strange as that word may sound
when applied to so confirmed a man of
the world, in his vain and very appar-
emit struggle against the irresistible en-
croachments Of age. He did not give in
with that philosophical resignation
which might have been expected Of one
SO clever and in some respects so wise.
He fought against it tooth and nail.
Lord Lytton's hair seemed dyed, and
his face looked as if art had been called
in to rejuvenate it. A quack in Paris
had pretended to cure his growing deaf
ness, q constant source Of legitimate
grief to him. He was radiant one au-
tumn ON his return to town because he
thought he was cured, but not for long.
The copious use Of snuff was no doubt
part Of the attempted cure, Of which
the most palpable results were large
dark red or blue pocket handkerchiefs,
quite out of harmony with his other
