The Riverside Stock farms drove

Scott of the Seventh cavalry has related
some astonishing feats performed by the
Chiracahua Apaches forming Troop L
of his regiment. He tells how nine of
these Indians, after hard days work,
by way of recreation, pursued coyote
for two hours, captured the nimble
brute and brought it into camp; how
on another occasion, the scouts gave
chase to deer, ran it down some nine
miles from camp and fetched it in alive.

Not to Be baked.

A comparison made by an old carpen-
ter 30 years ago may be applied in a
much wider sense than he had in mind
He was speaking of two boys, brothers,
who had been sent to him to learn the
trade. They were bright boys, and their
father in telling the carpenter of his
pleasure at their progress in their work,
said he could not see but one had done
just as we'll as the other.
"Um-m p said the carpenter 1T pre-
sumo to say their work looks about of a
piece, but I'll tell you the difference
betwixt those two boys. You give Ed
just the right tools, and he'll do real
good job, but Cy, if he hasn't got what
he needs, he'll make his own tools and
say nothing about it.

of hammer wouldn't stump that boy
He'd have something rugged up and
that box opened if there was any open

ahead of Ed all his life. "

The Southern Cross.

After you have known the Southern
Gross for awhile and get on speaking
terms with it your respect for it grows.
When we first met it, writes E. W.
Harden to the Chicago Post, we were at
sea and were keeping good hours By
8 O'Clock all of us would have turned
in. When the Southern Gross first comes
above the horizon, it lies over on its
side, and it is not straight in the heav-
ems until midnight Of course none of
US would sit up three hours to see the
cross right itself in the heavens, and so
we did not see it as it should be seen
until one night in Colombo.
We had been out to dinner and did
not go on board our ship until midnight.
The moon had set, and we were rowed
out from the landing wharf in one Of
those chronological exhibit boats which
the Ceylonese. had at the Worlds fair,
the outrigger kind. A big Peninsular
and Oriental passenger ship was weigh
ing its anchors as we passed, and as we
got ON the quarter deck of our ship the
liner went by with hundreds of electric
lights cleaning over the water When
it passed out of sight, we caught sight
of the Southern Gross, high in the heav-
ems, standing straight with our horizon,
and it was as brilliant and as beautiful
as we had been led to expect

IAN Hands Abandon shiptn

A naval officer thus describes the
realistic "All hands abandon ship"
drill: ''Two minutes after the word has
been passed every ships boat has swung
from its davits into the water, and a
minute later every boat is thoroughly
provisioned and watered Within four
minutes, and often in much quicker
time, every man of the ships company,
from the commanding officer down, is
occupying the station in the boat called
for by his ships number, and then the
command Sheer Off is given. The
boats are hauled away couple Of hun
bred feet from the deserted vessel, and
she rides without human soul aboard
her, often, when the drill is gone
through in midocean, in sea that the
landsman would account terrific.
fThen the word BoardP is passed,
and within eight minutes at the most
all hands are not only on board again,
but every boat has been relashed to the
davits, all of the provisions, water, in
struments and other gear have been re-
moved, and the ships company is in a
fair way to get to sleep again. !"

l regard a sense of humor as one of
the most precious gifts that can be
vouchsafed to human being He is not
necessarily better man for having it,
but he is happier one. 1t renders him
Indifferent to good or bad fortune. 1t
enables him to enjoy his own discount

Blessed with this sense he is never
unduly elated or cast down. No one
can rufde his temper. No abuse disturbs
his equanimity. Bores do not bore him
Humbugs do not humbug him. Solemn
airs do not impose on him. Sentimental
gush does not influence him The follies
of the moment have no hold on him.
Titles and decorations are but childish
baubles in his eyes Prejudice does not
warp his Judgment. He is never in con-
ceit or out of conceit with himself He
abhors all dogmatism. The world is
stage on which actors strut and fret for
his editication and amusement, and he
pursues the even current of his way, in
vulnerable, doing what is right and
proper according to his lights, but ut

A Pony's Intelligence

A correspondent writes from Abbots-
bury to Nature Notes: "The other day
when we were having lunch we heard
strange scratching sound, and then as
if some one were trying to turn the
handle of the door. Our housemaid went
and opened the door to see what it was,
and there stood the bakers pony and
cart. His master had left him in the
road while he went to the next house,
and the pony had turned round and
himself tried to open the door. OF course
we were much amused to hear what it
was, and the door was shut again The
next minute came one loud, decided
knock, evidently from the door knocl1er.
That can't be the pony, we all cried at
the same time, rushing to the door, but
it was. He was standing with his front
feet on the pavement, quietly waiting,
and very pleased at his success OF
course we gave him some bread. biscuits
and sugar as a reward for his clever
ness. He must have taken the knocker
in his teeth. "

General Gordon,s Seal.

The seal which General Gordon used
on all the documents he signed while
shut up in Khartum had a history,
which is narrated in the Life of
Chauncy Naples, - missionary bishop of
Likoma, east central Africa. While at
Cairo the bishop stopped at the house
of a friend named Floyer, Of whom he
writes:
Floyer had seen great deal of Cen
eral Gordon and showed me one very
interesting letter-the last he received
from him. The occasion of it was inter
esting. Floyer had volunteered to pre-
pare Gordon a seal with his name in
Arabic characters upon it. For this pur-
pose he chose an old coin, which he
partially melted and refashioned.
When the seal was completed, it was
found that two words that had been on
the coin were still legible. The words
were in Arabic and signified "The Mes
senger of God. !" Gordon noticed them
and was much pleased, and in the letter
in question commented ON them, saying
he prayed he might always remember
to be as the messenger of God to the
Sudan people,

jade.

Jade, the Chinese symbol of the soul,
is one of the most interesting minerals
in the world. 1t is possessed of peculiar
interest to the mineralogist because of
It's unique mineral properties, to the
chemist because Of dispute as to its
elementary composition, to the ethnolo-
glst because of its peculiar uses, to the
archaologist because of its strange as
sociations with early history, to the
poet because of its symbolic character
in literature and to the philosopher be-
cause of its association in the philosophy
of the sages, with various virtues out Of
which grew the Chinese symbolism
the soul
Jade is best described by the famil-
lar name of pebble, of which it is the
finest variety in respect of texture the
heaviest and the hardest known to the
lapidary. 1t is susceptible of a high
polish and is SO tenacious that it can be
cut into the most intricate and fragile
shapes. There are exceptional tints, but
here jade may only be said to range in
color from ivory white to deep olive
green. Among substances known to the
mineralogist it has no rival in the num-
Der of its destinations, and no apology,
therefore, is offered for ranking it with
precious stones.-Good Words.

this did not affect me, because | had a

the animals but simply watched and
waited developments. Day dawned and
the COWS lazily meandered into the pas
