Telegraphic Anomalies.

At recent meeting of the British
chamber of commerce III Paris E. J.
Hemebryk, one of the vice presidents of
the Liverpool chamber of commerce,
made IN interesting statement and
sought the support of the Paris cham
Der in his endenyors to obtain accelera-

France. He said that tolegraphing from
Liverpool he could obtain u reply from
his New York house in three minutes
while from his house in Paris it took
five hours. There We're countries, like
Austria, which We're even worse. the
time for reply being sometimes as
much as six or seven hours. There could
be no greater condemnation of the pres

commonly followed by Liverpool mer-

SHE BETRAYED HERSELF

Dipped Her Spoon In tho MILK Before
the Mush.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs. Naughty, but
she is known in almost every commu-
nifty by other names. She is inclined to
do all she can to make other people be-
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circumstances
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on q neighbor and accepted an invitation
to stay to supper Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs
Naughty declared with sundry ejacula-
tions that she had never eaten the de-
lightful compound. The steaming plat.
ter of mush was set in the center of the
table and bowl of milk placed before
Mrs Naughty.
Just help yourself, Mrs. Naughty. "
remarked the hostess
Really, do not know how to be-
gin, said Mrs Naughty as she picked
up her spoon.
Mrs, Naughty made move, and one
Of the children at the table leaned over
to her mother and whispered;
''She said she never ate mush and
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush. "
That little movement gave Mrs
Naughty away, for every lover of musf
and milk knows that If the spoon Il
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick to it.-Omaha World Herald

Marble Pond of Persia

That beautiful transparent stone cal
led Tabriz marble. much used in the
burial places OF Persia and in their
grandest edifices, consists of petrified
water of ponds in certain parts of the
country. This petrifactlon may be
traced from its commencement to Its
termination; in one part the water is
clear, in a second it appears thicker
and stagnant. in third. quite black,
and in It's last stage 1t is white like
frost. When the operation is COM

slabs, looked upon as a luxury that

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.


They Likewise Play Cricket, but Not Ao-
cording to Rule.
Travellers In South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congregate
in large numbers they also indulge In
games Of certain kind. Two Of these
games seem to resemble cricket and
football.
The cricket is Of primitive order.
About dozen monkeys stand in cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea of circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities of the circle
and stop about 10 yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has cocoanut In his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does
not, as you might suppose, WELD full
cane bat. His business Is to dodge the
cocoanut which the bowler aims at his
head. The delivery of the ball is ire
mendously fast, full pitched and fraught
with dire results If it touches the
spot. 3" When it does happen to touch
the spot-that is any part Of the mon
keys body-that monkey Is very much
out and doesn't even stop to dispute the
question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when a majority Of mon
keys lay nursing their wounds under
the friendly shade Of neighboring
palm.
The football is Of more advanced
type. 1t is also played with q oocoanut
The game, IL anything, Is undoubtedly
the "socker" game and is played with
the feet OF course there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object Of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game Of foot
or" and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs Is surprising
and wonderful
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and
making off, but tho game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes
the prize
No mention is made of referee but
if there is one about, like a wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up
tree. Brooklyn Times

A Talking sheep-s Head.

John Leitoh of Rothesay once when
on visit TO Dunoon dropped into the
shop of Archie Mains and asked IL he
had any good sleeps heads.
"Oh, yes" said Mains, there's as
fine one rs we ever saw" pointing to a
black face lying on the floor
Are you sure that it is fresh?" said
Mr.. Leitch.
"Quite sure, sir. " replied the butcher.
Its perfectly fresh. ="
Thereupon Mr.. Leitch, who was an
admirable ventriloquist, brought from
the sleeps head the rather confounding
ejaculation "Oh. what lee I'm
stinkin.

exclaimed the butcher. Didn't kill
ye wi my ain hauns this very morninF''
And. suiting the action to the words,
he kicked the offending sheep head into
the street.

made it apparently say, "Shame on ye,

FOOD WASTED IN COOKING.
Life Sustaining Value of Meat and yeRo-
tables Lost Through Ignorance.

Life sustaining value OF Meat anu toko-
tables Lost Through Ignorance.
A series of Investigations by experts
connected with the United States de-
partment OF agriculture go to show that
there Is an immense amount OF popular
ignorance in tho matter of cooking;
that while the greater part Of the food
Of man Is prepared for use by cooking,
yet the changes which various foods I'M
dergo during the process and the losses
which are brought about have been but
little studied. Few persons know, for
instance, that in 100 pounds of unoooked
cabbage there are but 7 u pounds of dry
matter, and Of this dry matter from IA
to B pounds are lost i'll tho cooking pot.
Experiments with potatoes showed that
In order to obtain the highest food value
potatoes should not be peeled before
cooking; that when potatoes are peeled
before cooking the least loss is sustained
by putting them directly into hot water
and boiling as rapidly as possible.
Even tben the loss is very considerable.
If potatoes arc peeled and soaked i'll
cold water before boiling, tho loss of
nutrients is very great. being one fourth
of all the albumenoid matter. In n
bushel of potatoes the loss would be
equivalent to n pound of sirloin steak.
Carrots contain less nitrogen, but rela-
lively more albumenoid nitrogen than
potatoes, and therefore furnish more
matter available for building muscular
tissues. In order to preserve the greatest
amount of nutrients i'll the cooking of
carrots, tho pieces should be large rather
than small. The boiling should be rapid
40 that the food value of the vegetable
shall not be impaired, as little water as
possible should be used, and if tho mat.
ter extracted is made available as food
along with the carrots n loss of 30 to
80 per cent or even moro of tho total
food value may be prevented In the
cooking Of cabbage the kind of water
used has moro effect ON tho loss of nutri
ents than the temperature of the water
Mt which the cooking is started. In any
case tho loss is large. The losses which
occur In the cooking Of potatoes. carrots
and cabbages vary with tho different
methods of boiling followed -Pittsburg

Left Her Master Suddenly While On
Hunting Trip and Several Years Later
She Was Heard From as the Leader of
Fierce Pack of Wolves.
George Oswald has just returned
from a six weeks hunt in the wild
West, and during his pilgrimage
learned the fate OF valuable hunting
dog that was lost by Dennis Walsh,
the big distiller, five years ago, while
hunting In the forests OF Nebraska
Mr.. Walsh purchased the dog of Capt.
Abe Junker, of Lawrenceburg, Ind.
for $50. The animal was a young fe-
male, part greyhound, and noted for
its fieetness. A few weeks after buy
ing the dog Mr.. Walsh and a party of
friends left for an extended hunt in the
game precincts of Nebraska, and while
on a big chase that took them half
hundred miles from human habitation
darkness came on, and the dog became
separated from its master. For sew
eral days Mr.. Walsh sought to find his
dog, but was forced to return without
it. and all subsequent efforts to learn
the fate of the lost canine proved flu
tile
Several years later residents and
travellers in that territory reported de-
predations committed by a pack of
wolves led by long-legged heet-footed
animal that could outrun the swiftest
horse, possessing wonderful sagacity,
but bearing no resemblance to a wolf.
For several years the Inhabitants of
that locality were annoyed by this
band OF four-footed robbers that SEEM
ed to delight to hover about populated
precincts and attack and destroy the
domestic animals of the residents Par
ties OF men repeatedly sought to hunt
down and kill these pests. and. while
they succeeded in almost annihilating
the band, yet the remarkable feetness
and astonishing cunning of the strange
leader of the maraudlng brutes en-
abled 1t to escape and evade all efforts
made for It's capture and death. Dur
ing the present dry period in that
country prairie fires and flaming for
tsts forced the animal inhabitants OF
these fire-swept regions to seek safety
nearer the haunts of men. One day
last week party OF farmers were
searching for lost stock, when they
suddenly came upon the strange leader
of the wolf gang The brute was suck
ling a litter OF pups. When dis
turbed. and, different from her US
ual custom, made no effort to seek
safety in flight, but fiercely confronted
her foes In defense of her young, and
was shot to death An examination OF
the carcass disclosed that the animal
was species of greyhound, and in no
particular resembled a wolf Around
| its neck was an elegant silver collar,
with the name Lucy" engraved there
on, and the letters ID. W." which stood
for the name of its owner, proving con-
cluslvely that the well trained, thor
oughbred, kindly disposltioned and
petted dog had, by running with wild
animals, become completely transform
ed into a savage and destructive brute,
without a single inherited or domestic
| trait remaining.
