A Mathematical Mute.

A writer In Lippincott's Magazine
tells a rather remarkable mule story.
The animal In question was used to re-
enforce the regular teams, being hitch.
ed beside them on a certain steep in.
cline on one of the Cincinnati street
railroads,
The mule made a certain number OF
trips in the forenoon Il have forgotten
the number, but will say fifty for the
sake of convenience, and a like mum.
Der in the afternoon, resting for m
hour at noon. As soon as il completed
its fftieth trip 1t marched away to the
stable without orders from the driver.
To show that It was not guided by the
sound Of the factory whistles and bells,
the following remarkable action on the
part of this animal is youched for by
the superintendent of the line:
On a certain occasion during a musi.
cal festival, the mule was transferred
to the night shift, and the very instant
It completed its usual nupber of shifts
It started for the stableL The con.
blned efforts of several men We're nee.

At night there were no bells or wills

trips, and having finished its quota. II

the station and sauntered toward the
parental mansion with the weary step
of a man who has a load on his con

But that did not deter Brownlee from
getting out and huStling. If he had
worked like a Trojan the first time for
his nomination, he threw the energy of
n double dose of Trojan devotion into
his efforts now, and the result of 1t all
was that he was renomlnated and
elected, and went back to Washington

All Must Pay Board.

When members of the Queens fam
lily or any wandering German relatives
of high degree visit London and occu-
py apartments In buckingham Palace.
"by invitation" they pay their board
just like common folks in n first-class
hotel. This prevents the sovereign
lady from having too much company
and makes things very pleasant for the
palace servants. The independence 1t
gives some of the royal guests Is not
wholly appreciated by them, but, as the
Queen early in her reign determined ON
this economical course, her subjects
cannot justly complain of her extraya-
gance. 1t Is a very expensive piece Of
pleasure being u guest of royalty, and
even the Queens W children must
