unshayed Tt ,.

The following circums' ance happened
in one of the towns of Ir land. A man
had been drinking until later hour at
night before he started foi home. Hon
est folk had been long i bed. and the
houses were all shut ant dark The
liquor he had taken was 30 much for
him. He did not know whore to go.
He at last staggered int an empty
wagon shed and fell upon tie ground
For long time he lay in 'e uncon-
seriousness of drunken sleep an1 would
have undoubtedly been frozen to deetls
(for the snow on the ground showed he
night to be very cold) had not 9th rs.
less insensible been near him.
This shed was favorite rendezvous
for the pigs, which rushed out when the
newcomer arrived, but soon returned to
their bed In the utmost kindness and
truest hospitality, they gave their biped
companion the middle of the bed.
Toward morning he awoke, and, find
ing himself comfortable and in blissfuI
ignorance of his whereabouts, he sup
posed himself enjoying the accomrnoda-
ton of "a tavern, in company with other
gentlemen. He reached out his hand,
and, catching hold of the stiff bristles
of hog. exclaimed:
why, misterl When did you shave
yourself last?'-PeaIson's Weekly.

American Ereyify.

A rich American, according to the
following anecdote, related i'll Coed
Words by the Rev. Donald Macleod, ID.
D., presented himself one day at the
studio of Sir John Millais, and, with
out preamble, began at once to speak.
Sir he said, Il wish to take -
present back to my wife She says she
would like to have my portrait painted
by the very best artist in the country.
l have been told that You are the man
When can have sitting?''
II am at present very busy, said
Millais.
$50 am i, was the reply.
but am very expensive artist. +"
''IIow much Go you charger"
A large price was named
"Shall give you check now?"
mot at all, " said Millais. Il merely
mentioned it to prevent misunderstand-
ings."
How many sittings Go you require?"
Five or six Mt the least F"
If you can do it in fewer, SO much
the better, for am very busy man
and my time is valuable"
Millais enjoyed the manner in which
his own plea of being busy had been
met and agreed to paint him.

PENNSYLVANIA Fox Hunting.

While there is general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania. There are, in the
southeastern counties, as fine packs OF
hounds as can he shown in England,
though fewer in number, and some
horses that hold their own against the
best of English importations over as
"stiff'' country as that hunted by the
famous Quorn pack, of which the Earl
of Lonsdale is master. AT recent run
$50 couples of hounds were out and
about 200 riders. Just now there is con-
sternation among owners of the Penn
sylvania hounds because of an outbreak
of rabies in the Strafford Hunt kennels,
which has necessitated the killing of
the entire pack of %, many OF them
dogs imported from noted English
packs A rabid cur bit one of the
hounds a few weeks ago, and this dog,
after recent run, attacked other occu'
pants of the kennels. So all were killed
as a matter of safety. There is fear that
other hounds in other packs have been
bitten, and that an outbreak of hydro
phobia throughout the hunting district
may follow. All possible precautions
to prevent this disaster have been taken,
and hounds which have been exposed
are to be isolated for a time. New

signed for one costume. Many OF the
smaller buttons are veritable jewels in
their artistic beauty of color and design,
and they are set exactly like actual
gems OH low mountings of whitened sill

colored enamel, and bronze buttons set
in riyeted points are all familiar styles.
Some of the handsome jet and iridescent

match which are not intended to have
any strain upon them, but are merely
used as decorations all over the cloth OF
other costume.

LIFT IN THE. DESERT.
TLo Arabs Are hbstemious and Erjoy the
Luxury Of silence.

IuIury ct Siience.
"In tho Desert With the Bc6ouin'' is
the title OF an article in The Century,
written ard illustrated by the English
artist, r. Tablet Kelly Mr.. Kelly says
in his article: Desert life induces habits
of abstemiousnoss. Rising with the sun,
dish of oumis, on mares milk, and
small cup Of black coffee are the only
refreshments generally partaken of. The
day is gpent following ones pursuits,
and, with the exception Of an occasional
cup of coffee and some very light
smack, one has no meal of any kind
till after shutdown. One quickly becomes
accustomed to long fasting and absti-
nence from any form of drink, and the
simple dinner at night is more keenly
enjoyed in consequence. Though plain,
the food is excellently cooked, and usu.
ally consists Of huge tray Of rice, over
which is poured dish of SIENNA, or liq-
uid butter. Round the tray are pigeons
stuffed with nuts and spices, and the
pyramid OF rice il surmounted by a lamb
or kid, frequently cooked whole. Boiled
beans, and perhaps few fresh herbs,
appear occasionally, which, with the
usual fiat loaves and large dish of riz-
bil-laban, or boiled rice pudding, COM
plete the meal. Salt is seldom seen--a
distinct privation-except on the first
day of your visit, and drinking water is
often scarce. After dinner huge fire of
corncObs, or sticks and camel dung, is
lighted in the tent, about which we
gather and enjoy the after dinner cup of
coffee and smoke, and, should we be
in the mood, talk.
The Arabs have one excellent point OF
etiquette. Talk for talks sake is not ex-
pected. Ever ready for yarn, they
eagerly respond should you wish to con-
verse, but the luxury of silence is not
denied if ones mood be thoughtful.
The idea of fire in ones tent may
strike some of my readers as a superfiu
ity, but the nights are often intensely
cold, and after bathing in the sun al
day, with the thermometer at 95 to lO(
degrees in the shade, the sudden fall Of
temperature to little above freezing
point is very trying, and, i'll spite of fire
blankets and thick ulster, l have fire.
