Something Nice.

According to the following anecdote,
from The Sacred Heart Review, people
who do right as we'll as those who do
wrong sometimes resolve never to do 1t
again:
A gentleman heard that young girl
whose mother was in poor circum.
stances was convalescing from dam
gerous sickness. Forthwith he went to
fruiterer's and secured some choice
punches of Hamburg grapes at 81 or
thereabout a pound,
He carried them, not without some
self satisfaction, to the house OF the IN
valid and left them with her mother,
who received them in dubious kind OF
manner that did not evince, as ne
thought, much gratitude.
This did not trouble him greatly,
however, but the next day when he
| called he received blow which almost
made him resolve never again to be
! generous to strangers.
"How did your daughter like the
grapes?" he said to the grim and un
demonstrative matron.
"Oh, pretty well, b" was the reluctan
answer.
.'Did she eat them all?" was the mex
query.
Eyes, she got away with them, " wa
the reply. "But she is good deal Tx
me. She likes something nice and tast.

a big Aldershot field day. We kept a
constant watch and fired when possible,
but as we were against the skyline the
enemy had much better sight OF US
than we had of them. However, from
behind our little wall we could laugh
and say, "Kale oral" WGood morning

By the way, the voice of a bullet

to which no one pays any attention art

as novelist might say. There Is the
wolfish howl, which for some reason al
ways seems to be taking one on the
flank instead of fairly i'll front, and last
of all there is the low, i'll tempered
buzz, as though the nasty thing had go'
out of bed the wrong side, as children
say. 1t is far the most terrifying, espe
cially if it suddenly stops as the buile'
strikes something close at hand. IL wa

Little Indians at PLAY.

Valley of the Euphrates.

John Punnett Peters, in his book,
"Nippur, or Explorations on the Eu-
pirates, thus describes the valley OF
the Euphrates:
"Below Hit, in the alluvial delta OF
the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates,
existed one of the primeval seats OF CIV
ilization-one of Dame Natures kim
dergartens, to teach her children the
rudiments of higher life. Out of this
valley westward toward the fertile up
lands of northern Syria, downward to
the rich coast land of the Mediterra-
mean, outward to Cyprus and the isles,
southwark to the rival valley OF the
Nile, the road of commerce and con-
quest had been the Euphrates, and for a
large part of the way the Euphrates IS
no more than road-a narrow path
way, sunk 100 or 200 feet beneath the
plateau of sterile wilderness swarm
| ing with wild Arabs. In the earliest
ages this was the road that led the con
uuerors out and over which conquest
and civilization travelled hand IL
hand. Later it became the road by
which conuuerors entered into the yer,
heart of Babylonia. So it was tina

In Lamppost Letter Boxes.

"Ever find things in the boxes?" was
asked of postoffice collector who was
taking the letters from lamppost let
ter box.
"Some, but not such an everlasting
lot either" was the reply. "A thief
fleeing from his pursuers once dropped a
watch in lamppost letter box so that
it would not be found upon his person
nor along the line of his flight, but
watches are rot commonly found III
lamppost letter boxes.
"Once when came up to letter box
/ found standing by it policeman and
woman. The policeman said that the
woman had dropped dollar bill into
the box between some letters and she
wanted to get it back. The rules of the
postoffice require that anything that
may be found in the boxes shall be
turned in at the postoffice. The loser
must apply for it there. If had found
any money in this box, l should have
been compelled to turn it in. But there
wasn't any money there. The lady
must have lost it or have left it some
where else.
"As a matter of fact not many things
of value are dropped into lamppost let

The Rnts' Pound.

There is in the city of Paris a regular
pound. surrounded by massive stone
wall, wherein the services OF rats are
utilized for clearing the bones OF dead
animals from flesh. A horse thrown III
overnight is quite stripped by morning
and it is the regular work of the man
in charge to remove the beautifully pol
ished skeleton. OF course the rats thus
hammered increase at terrible rate and
invade the neigh boring slaughter houses.
So il becomes necessary at times to have
a regular battue. This is rather clever
" managed. All around the walls or
the hound hundreds of little holes have
been bored, the depth of each being just
that of IA rats body. Early i'll the morn
ing. while the rats are still enjoying
their meal, IA couple of men with IAN
terms Jump suddenly in with great
noise and CHATTER. The terrified creatures
rush for the nearest refuge, ana tine
walls are soon ornamented with regu
lar forest of tails whisking about Ike
animated black icicles. Then arrives thu
rat collector. who with skillful han'
seizes each pendent tail and deposits th'
astonished owner thereof in bag whlcf
he carries slung over his shoulder. Inc
skins are largely used for making
gloves. New York World
