HIa Animal Food.

Pat Shinnegan works on the Allen place, and his mind is no poetic mind, and whatever comes into it receives a literal construction that sometimes makes it unrecognizable when it comes out again. In fact, Pats mind Is very sausage machine of mind.
 Now. it happens that Pat was feeling i'll for some days. and so, as his employ CT is an Nj. D., full fedged, albeit some what young in years, Pat applied to hEm for a remedy. The doctor asked the symptoms, felt his pulse, examined his tongue, and did whatever else profes- sional etiquette demanded. Then he said:
 Patrick, you're run down bit, that's all. What you need is animal food ''
 And Pat departed quite contented.
 About two days afterward the doctor happened to think of his case. and call ed on Pat in the stable.
 Well, Pat" said he, "how are we getting on with the treatment?'
 "Oh. shure, sir, said Pat, "Oi man age all right with the grain and oats, but it's har-rd with the chopped hay. " Boston Budget

How Nature Makes Silver.

The process by which nature forms hes silver mines is very interesting. It mist be remembered that the earth's crust is full Of water, which percolates everywhere through the rocks, making solutions of clements obtained from them. These solutions take up small particles of precious metal which they find here and there.
 Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, the water having got so far down as to be set boiling. by the inter- nal heat of the globe Then they rush upward, picking up the bits of metal as they go Naturally heat assists the per- forlnance of this operation.
 Now and then the streams thus form ed, perpetually flowing hither and thith- CT below the ground, pass through cracks or cavities in the rocks, where they deposit their lodes of silver. This is kept up for great length of time perhaps thousands of years-until the pocket is filled up.
 Crannies permeating the stony mass i1k every direction may become filled with the precious metal, or occasionally chamber may be stored full of it as if 1000, 900 hands were fetching the treas ures from all sides and hiding away a mine for some lucky prospeotor to dis cover in another age.

Tho @wacht Am Rhein n

UT the martial songs moro particular ly connected with the various periods of storm and stress in Germany, one of the most celebratedis that of the Rhine, composed by Becker, and answered by Alfred de Musset in other we'll known verses. The "Waeht am Rhein., by Max Schneckenburger, was composed about the same period as the Rhine song, but attained its widest popularity during the war of 1870. Unlike Beck CTS song, it cannot boast of having been set to music by 20 composers.
 The patriotic song of Deutschland, Deutschland nber Allies" was the work of the popular writer, poet, philologist and historian August Hoffmann, who was born at Fallersleben in the year 179S. For time we find him acting as librari- an and later as professor at the Uniyer- slty of Breslau. but the liberal tendency of some of his writings caused him, in 1858, to be deprived of his professorial ehalr. For many years he was librarian to the Duke of Ratibor, and died in this sheltered post in 1874. The German national anthem, 'Heil Dir i'm Sieger- hanz, " was written originally for the birthday of Christian VII, king of Den mark, by Holstein clergyman. The words were written to the air of "God Save the King" in 1790, and a few years later were modified for Prussian use. Chambers Journal.

They never observe to Miss Brown across q dinner table that they always understood she was very sweet on Mir. Jones (who has just married Miss Robinson). They never mistake your wife's cousin for her husband, and fancy that you are the father in law And they never ask young author with i tragedies, 16 comedies, 2 farces and couple of burlesques in his desk why he doesn t write play.

Success In Society.

The secret of success in society is 8 certain heartiness and sympathy. A man who is not happy in company cannot find any word in his memory that will fit the occasion; all his information is little impertinent. A man who is happy there finds ill every turn of the conversation occas4ons Tor the introduc tion of what he has to say. The favor. ties of society are able men, and oi more spirit than wit. who have no un, comfortable egotism, but who exactly fill the hour and company. oontenteo and contenting. Emerson.

HOW Treasure Ia Transported In China


 We have 'eard much of the diverting of public treasure to private gain by Chinese off als of all ranks, and the evi- dence of it in the failure of the Chinese army and navy to be ready for the in eyitable struggle with Japan is too re. cent and convincing to be disputed, but on the other hand we can only wonder at the power of this law of responsibil- ity which, in such a land, enables the remotest province to transport its dues to Peking in solid silver, by the sim Eest means, without loss by the way Ind without the protection of a single soldier. Nothing impresses one more with the absoluteness of this power as applied to transportation than to meet a line of pack mules, horses, or camels, loaded with silver bullion. The silver is usually confined in rough logs of wood that have been split. hollowed out, and then bound together, and each load is marked with little flag of imperial yellow, stating the amount and destina- tion. That is all the protection there is except the ordinary drivers, who carry no weapons, and are attended by nc guard. In what other land on the face of the globe could the same be done?-- Professor c. M. Cady in Century.
