A Plucky Woman Who Saved a Snake
 Bitten Miner from Death.
 At Smiths mill, fifty miles northwest of Phenix, arising from his cot the other night for drink of water says the Tucson Miner, Harry Carroll stepped squarely upon rattlesnake and was bitten upon the bare foot There were two pints of frontier whisky at the cainp, and one of these Carroll immediately dumped into his system. Slowing the other in his pocket, he then mounted . horse and started for the stage station at the canyon of the Hassayampa, dozen miles away, On the road he drank the remaining flask, and from that time on knew nothing, save that he fell from his horse. Mrs Conger, the custodian of the station, was alarmed to see the horse coming back, and mounted the animal, and, accompanied by her dog, she started on the search. Eight miles away, in the stony hills, fully exposed to the glare of Arizona's July sun, solely through the intelligence of the dog, Carroll was found lying uncon- seious. He had been there eleven hours. The plueky woman loaded the suffering man on the horse and, bring ing him to the mill. nursed him out of danger. The day was hot in the ex- treme, and the dog, searching for the man, became overloaded and on re- turning to the camp died within few hours. It may be believed that he was given a burial as good as the camp could afford.

Hang. or Marry.

h the fcudal days of Scotland. when noblemen thought it no disgrace to steal their ncighbors' cattle, Q baron protected his vassals from the aristo- cratic cattle lifted by hanging out right those taken red-hand, without waiting for the slow process of the law When Sir William Scott was young Border laird he made one night a foray on Sir Gideon Murray's lands. While driving off herd of cattle he was caught, and being brought before Sir Gideon, ordered to be hanged. Hanging a cattle-thief was such an everyday affair that Sir Gideon went about his ordinary business, But his wife, hearing that handsome youth of Q good family was to be executed, sought her husband, and indignant, exclaimed:
 "Hoot, Gideon, what do hear7 You talk the life of the wiusome young laird of Harden, wi three ill-fanred lassies in the house O yer ain 10 mar ry?7 We're recht. Maggie, my dear, ' replied the baron, grasping the situa- ton.

Cicero ns 4 .Iok.,r.

Cicero reekoned humo', as useful ally; indeed he confessed that the sense of humor was very powerful with him. "I am wonderfully taken with anything comic, he writes to one of his friends, There Is evidence that he was much given to maI5ing jokes. Evidently the Roman audience was not very critical on this point, i,s Cicero's jokes were frequently nothng more than puns Perhaps the mos$ intelli- gible is his retort to Hortensius, dur ing the trial of Verres. Verres was said to have feed his counsel out of his Sicilian spoils At oil events there was figure of a sphinx, of some artistic value, which had found its way from the house of the ex-governor into that of IIortensius Cicero was putting q witness through cross,cx- animation of which his opponent could not sec the bearing. I do not under stand all thie" said Hortcnsius 'I am no hand al solving riddles That isstrange, too ejoned Cicero, when you have sphinx athome.n He knew the secret of succcssful humorist in society, "thnt jest never has SO good an effect as when uttered with seri- ous counteuance.

CALLS THE KING "MY BABY"
The spanish Queen Uses Pet Names When
 Referring to Her Son.

htiffFiHe tp iscN ouhs
 Queen Christina, of Spain, is about the only monarch or royal parsonage in Europe who, when speaking of her children and relatives, does not con- sider it necessary to make use of their titles, says writer in the New York Recorder. Thus, when the prince of Wales refers to his parent, he invari- ably uses the words: My mother, the queen the latter word being super huous, it would seem. His son he al- ways speaks of as My son, the duke of York" The emperor of Austria re- ters to his wife as Die Kaiserin, as does also Emperor William. The king of Portugal is SO anxious to prevent any undue familiarity that he usually pre- fixes the words Her majesty to the queen and in the same way the wives of these respective royalties never speak of their husbands except as the emperor" the king" or ''the prince, 9 as the case may be. Queen Christina, of Spain, however, is quite different in this respect. She invariably talks of her little seven-year-old boy as Tel niDo," as ''rny son, as my baby" or, when speaking in German, as "Mein bubi," the Viennese dialect for my dear little boy" It diminishes noth- ing from the child's rank or grandeur to speak thus of him, but, on the con trary, contributes to increase the sym pathy ana the regard for this sensible and highbred widow and for her royal son, around whose fair, curly head are centered so many interests, both na- tional and economic.

 HORSEFLESH FOR FOOD.
The Taste for It Spreading in Europe Sentiment and ScIence Against IL.

Sentiment and Science Against It.
 Hippophagy, or to speak less euphe- mistica.iy, the habit of eating horse flesh, is spreading in Europe. WhGe savage man is known to have sated his ravenous hunger on horsefesh or any other variety of flesh he could find, the modern origin of this peculiar taste dates from the siege of Paris, during the Franco-pruss war, whsn the popuace were compelled from d,re necessity to sacrifice this noble quad ruped to sustain life. Many acquired q taste for the meat and the demand for fl did not cease with the capitula- tion of the city.
 It was to be seen on sale at many of the butchers stalls, and has been ever since staple article of diet for thousands of the poor of the French capital. For horseAesh is much cheaper than beef. Beef in Paris is worth twenty cents pound, while horsehesh can be had for eight cents q pound, which affords reason why the bar barous custom should take firm hold upon these people when once necessity gave it root.
 Once planted in Paris the practice spread to other continental cities, espe- cially Berlin, where horsefiesh is con sumed in considerable quantities by the poorer classes, and the medical au- thorities and humanitarians are raising their voices against what they justly consider barbarous and dangerous custom.
 The medical men warn the eaters of horsehesh that the horse is peculiarly liable to the disease known as triehino- sis, also found in hogs, and while cook ing generally destroys the germs of this disease, iss cannot always be de- pended on to do so. The disease is frightfully fatal in its effects and baf- fes medical skin.
 Tho humanitarians take. the ground of sentiment, urging the aImost'hurnan affection of the horse and the close companionship he has shared with man since the dawn of the human race A
