Errors They Sometimes Make Are
Quite Amusing.
During the recent book sale in this
city, says the Chicago Chronicle, there
were many calls for Henryx Sienkie-
wicz's ''Quo Vadis." One girl appeared
with card bearing this: "Qwadiz," by
''Stinkwitz." Anotherreader asked for
1.-TWO Waders," by "sinkers,"'wh a
third demanded ''That book by the man
whose name ends in ''itch." ;
while the sale was going on a wom-
an asked a cash girl:
"Can you find David Copperfeld?' "
"I'll sce," said the girl, and disap-
peared. She presently returned and
said:
mo, mum. He don't work here no
more"
Another customer at the sale was a
woman who drove up in her carriage.
She explained to the clerk that she had
just moved into her own house.
"The library" she said, "is one by
twenty and the shelves run around the
whole shootin' match" She looked ct
the stock of books and sweeping her
hand over lot of shelving containing
about $500 volumes, she said: "Send
those books up" AS the assortment
contained broken sets, odd volumes,
duplicates and paper covered novels,
her library" will be motley collec-
ton. r. :

A NEW HALF.BREED,
Part Horse and Part Zebra aud I,
Called a ZebrOid.

Part Horse and Part Zebra aud In
Called a Zebroid.
The mule, says Cosmos, partakes Of
the qualities of the ass and the horse
The zebra having now been domesti-
Gated, it has been asked whether we
can obtain from it an analogous half
breed. Baron de Parana has obtained
enc and calls it the 'zebroid.'' The
young animal is now six months old;
it is a male of bay color with stripes
similar to, those of the zebra. These
stripes are we'll marked on the neck,
the head and the legs; those of the body
are not visible, because of the thick
winter coat: The name is black and
resembles that of the zebra; the tail
looks like a mules, but has longer hair
The ears are small with rounded points
like the zebra's. The hauneh is well
formed, rounded, and quite large; the
chest is long and high, which makes the
animal hold its head high, and conse-
quently gives it a good carriage. The
eyes are large and full Of feeling; the
nostrils large; the lips small and much
: like those of Arab horses (the mare,
the mother }of this zebroid, was one
quarter Arab); the head is small; the
legs muscular, but delicate, showing
that he will be very agile; the hoofs
small, black and very hard. He is very
lively, but very gentle, and loves to be
caressed. He. eats very well, not only
in the stall, but in pasture. These
facts, we are told, ARE from a communi-
cation made by the breeder to the Ma
tional Acclimation society, which is
shortly to be presented with a set OF
photographs Of the new creature.

YOUR NOSE.
What This Special Feature Tells OF
Your Characters,

what This Special Feature Tells OF
Your Character.
A nose thick and flat is an unfavor-
able feature with men as we'll as wom-
en-, usually signifying that the charac-
ter is predominated by material in
stincts, while turned-up nose with
wide nostrils betokens vain DISPOSE
zion, says an exchange.
Especially wide nostrils are signs of
courage, strength and pride; small nos
trils of weakness and timidity. Noses
large in every respect are usually
found among men, and when woman
possesses large nose it indicates that
she Is masculine in character.
The nose, the form of which has so
much to do with the beauty OF the face.
is amenable to culture, and we have it
on the authority of German physician
that it is beyond dispute that during
half an ordinary human life the nose
is capable of receiving more noble form.
The mental training of an individual
has great deal to do with shaping thu
nose.
The small, fiat nose, found among
women and called the soubrette nose,
when occurring with an otherwise
agreeable cast of countenance, indi-
Gates gracious and cheerful naivete,
combined with considerable curiosity.
Such a nose is seldom found among
men, and when man is unfortunate
enough to possess it he is characterized
by weak and deficient sagacity.

BuRROS FOR JAPAN.

A Big Bunch OF Them to BE Shipped
from Oregon Ranges.
Not long ago, when w. L. Powell and
a. J. Powell were riding through WAL
Iowa county to buy horses they noticed
On the range numerous herds Of burros.
They hunted up the owner, hotel man
at Elgin, says the Portland Oregonia,.
"What do you want for those bur
ros?" asked one of the Powells.
The owner fixed no price, but would
sell.
"I'l give you $3.50 head and round
them up myself or six dollars head,
you to deliver them at the corrals."
A contract was made on the latter
basis for 600 head. The owner found
the job of collecting those burros big
one. They were wild and free and o.
jected to captivity. Since August last
from six to ten men have been, busy
with lariats, and they have just finished
the work. When q bunch of six Or
seven were captured their heads wee
tied together and they were released
until wanted. Nearly 1000 head, mary
OF them young jacks, were at last
rounded up and delivered. The Powels
took them all. They will be shipped "a
Seattle, and the majority are destined
Tor Japan to,be used there as pack ami
mails. Some go to, the Klondike, how
ever. TIL e younger ones VIII be- f.
leased by the, Powells on. the ranges
near Pro:sser, Wash, to- further in
crease and multiply.
A dozen years or so ago the pack train
OF an e1nis::rant outfit, consisting of bur
ros, was turned loose in Wallowa valley
From these ancestors sprang the 1,o0{
head that now comprise the move:
shipment of the Powells.

She Defeated Them.

: The Oil City (Pa.) Derrick tells of
party of boys of about II years of age
who were teasing a girl of about the
same age who was hauling her little
sister on handsled. The girl evidently
had a temper, and also self-reliance.
Singing out the largest boy in the lot,
she sailed into him like m. Infatuated
tomcat and had him thoroughly
whipped, and was chasing him up the
railroad track before the surprised
spectators recovered presence of mind
enough to part the combatants.. The
other boys viewed the fate Of their late
7companion with CONSERVATION, and
when the girl returned and resumed
possession Of the sled there was not one
in the crowd with courage enough to re-
sumo the teasing operations.

PIN HOLES IN THE CHECKS.
Only One OF the Cashiers Precautions
Overlooked by the Forser.

Overlooked by the Forger.
In the course of lecture delivered
recently on chemical tests used in dis
covering by the ink the age of docu:
ments, and whether there have been in
Temptations, Prof. C. A. Doremus told
of curious discovery in the case of
raised check, made by his father, who
is al expert in chemistry and in docu-
ments. The interests involved in this
case, says the New York Sun, were
very large, and it was not practicable
that the original check should be tam
pered with or chemically treated. For
purposes of testimony an enlarged pho
tograph of the check was taken by DR..
Doremus, who was called as an expert
in the case. The first trial resulted in
no decision, and on the second trial,
what purported to be the original check
was produced. It was handed to the
cashier of the bank for identification.
He examined it and said:
This is not the original check"
GLOW do you know that?" demanded
the amazed lawyer.
because in the heading of the orig
inal check pricked hole in the center
of each of the 'o's' with pin," was the
reply. ''This check has not those
holes"
In all other respects the check
seemed to be identical. The court
called for DR.. Doremus' photograph to
be produced. It plainly showed the pin
holes. Upon this the lawyer for the de-
Tense threw up his case, and the guilty
substitutor of the false check fed the

THE sAGAcious BEReALL.

HOW 1t Scared Away an Eel Which 1t
Had Failed to Dis1odEe by Force.
Lying up close against the end Of an
.pverhanging stone on the bottom Of one
OF the tanks at the aquarium, says the
New York Sun, was an eel about IS
inches in length. About six or eight
inches of the cells tail projected clear
of the stone. Swimming about in the
same tank there was q bergali about
six inches in length, which presently
took a notion that it would like to lie
IN there snug against the rock and the
>overhanging projection, and it came up
at the tail end Of the eel and tried to
wedge itself in between the eel and the
rock; that is, to crowd the eel away
and take it's place.
But the bergall couldn't Go that;
there is a good deal of strength in an
eel, and this eel held it's place firmly.
The bergall hauled off a little distance
and headed for the point where the rock
and the side of the eel met, and made
for it under full steam, but with the
same result; it couldn't bulge the eel,
which still chung closely to the rock.
Then the bergall backed off again and
tried change of tactics.
The eel's head was around on the
other side of the rock, where it couldn't
see what was going on at the rear. The
bergall backed off and darted for the
cells tail and nipped it as hard as it
could bite. The eel started as though
it had been struck by lightning, and
slid around the end of the rock and off
to the other end of the tank, cutting in
the water as it went letter SIS of IA
different sizes and styles, while the ber-
gall quickly took its place under the
Overhanqing rock.

FRESHMAN GETS a LESSON.

Harvard Youth Manner

Bryn Mnwr Girls Teach Sporttve
Harvard Youth Manners.
a Chicago young man in Cambridge
found recently that lie could not make;
fun of the, women's colleges with i'm
.punity. In his letters to his sister, re-
ports the Chronicle Of that city, he had
spoken OF her college as an incubator
several times and said he wondered
when the chicks would hatch and if
they would take a postgrad in a
brooder. His sister didn't care much
for that sort of thing from u brother,
who was only a freshman himself, albeit
a Harvard freshman, nor did the other
Bryn Mawr girls, to whom she repeated
his remarks. s#s s
On the day of the receipt of letter
from him saying he was coming down
to inspect the apparatus" the men,
bers of his sisters class held meeting
in her room. On his arrival, two days
later, he was ushered with some cere-
mony into the reception-room. =3s'
After waiting 20 minutes girl came
in hurriedly, looked fairly at him and
said "Oh!" Then she left abruptly. In
five minutes a second girl rushed in,
saying "Oh!" turned round and walked
out. Five minutes later third girl did
likewise, and ia another five minutes it
happened again. This continued for
just one hour, when all Of the 20 girls
that had said "Oh!" to ether with
about as many more, all strangers,
came in in body, said "Oh!" and filed
out.
Then the freshman's sister came in,
by which time the youth was ready to
collapse, and asked him how he liked
the chicks, and if he didn't think they
could peep prettily, after which she in
vited him to spread in her room with
the chicks, where they demonstrated
they could pick up crumbs as we'll as
