Didn't want to BE King.

The family life of the reigning house,
hold both at Athens and at Deceleia is
said to be exceptionally happy. A.story
is told, well illustrating the extent to
which democratic feeling has taken hold
even of the kings sons, to the effect that
as the children were playing together
one day they got to talking about what
they were to do when they grew up, and
the crown prince said to his brother:
"Oh, George, you be king when you are
grown up; I don't want to-" Neither
did Prince George want to be king, and
both decided that it was disagreeable
fate. Now one has been at the head Of
the Greek fleet, and the other has been

what we have to do is to invent con-
trivance which will relieve u.s. The
camel said nothing but "Oont!" and the
sledge dog opened his mouth with a
low howl. So they put their wits to-
gether and invented machine which
would relieve them of servitude to man.
The camel put in his hump; the sledge
dog his swift lope; the mule his utmost
stubbornness and his activity at fling
ing people over his head; the elephant
added that sullsy and treacherous dis
position which no man can fathom, and
the horse crowned all by giving it his
desire to run away. ''Now what shall

Men Who Make Cyanide of Potassium
Are Strangely Tempted to Eat 1t.
There is factory in London that
makes only the deadliest poisons known
to chemistry. Last year it produced
1000 tons of cyanide of potassium. Five
grains of this is sufficient to kill man.
In one room of the factory a visitor
found tons of this deadly poison. It re-
sembles very closely white crystallized
sugar. The visitor remarked to the
manager: ut looks good enough tc
eat'' -
"Ah," replied the manager, gravely.
''that is just one of the dangers we have
to guard against. For some inexplica-
hle reason cyanide of potassium exer-
cises a remarkable fascination over the
men engaged in it's manufacture. They
are haunted by constant and ever-re-
curing desire to eatit. They are perfect
ly alive to the fact, however, that to give
way to the craving would mean instant
death, and are consequently usually
able to resist it. But not always. Dur.

cause save this mysterious, horrible
longing. I myself have felt the same

recognized that there are always two
men at work together in this branch of
our business, and jar of ammonia,
which, as you may know, is the anti

Apart from this remarkable infatua-
ton, which may be ikene6 to the de-:

standing on the brink of a precipice
to throw themselves down, the manu-

had laid aside his sword, for he was

square house in Scotland. The dull,
amending moors overwhelmed her. The
cold gray stones of her home crushed
out all her life. She longed to spread
her wings and to fly to the glare and
glitter of some great city. So one day
she disappeared, and James Gordon was
left alone with his Bible.
He uttered no reproach, but his grim
month seemed to close more firmly,
while the lines grew deeper on his
rugged face. The neighbors were dis
appointed at his apathy. They men
toned his daughters name to him, in
the hope of arousing some emotion or
torrent Of abuse. But he merely half
rose from his chair and looked at them.
They were silent, and left him. So a
year passed away, and he began to grow

that my joke had nearly caused catas-
