A Way Ont of Dimculty.

One day, as Jock Samson was at
work in the harvest field, he was busy
on the top of his cart loading the
sheaves, and the farmer was below
pitching.
All at once Jock wondered why no
sheaves were being delivered to him,
and, hearing sounds of putting ana
blowing below him, he looked over the
side of the cart and saw the old
farmer vainly trying to lift the wheel
eff sheaf of corn.
The perspiration was streaming
down his face, and, hearing Jock
laughing above him, he looked up and
cried:
What are you laughing at? Come

ROAST BABY NOT n.D.FooD.
That Is the Verdict of Sea Captain
Who Attended a south At
Ilrican Banquet.

Queer things to eat and how they
taste had been the topic of converse
ton for half an hour with a little
group of passengers on a down east
steamship. The list had gone as far
as rats when the captain joined the
party, and he listened respectfully to
the experiences of those who had num-
bered cats and horseflesh in their
menu at some period other.
what was the worst thing you ever
had to eat, captain?' some one asked
him at last.
''Well, / went to sea at 10 years of
age, and for a good many years L
didn't have much terrapin or canvas
back duck, but that didn't interfere
with my growth to any extent and
the captain, who was a man of fine
physique, drew himself up to his fun
six feet. But l think L ate one thing
that no one else on this boat has ever
tasted, and that is roast niger baby"
The captain paused while the eXcla-
nations of horror spent themselves.
1T was in a South African port, and
the natives were not reputed canni-
balls, and in many ways they showed
evidences of much civilizations; but
they had a semireligious rite that
called for the sacrifice of a child at
stated intervals. The choice was
made by lot, and the parents were eN-
pected not only to consent unmur-
muringly, but to partake of the feast.
By some mischance 1 got myself bid
den to this ceremony, and l had q
broad tip that it would be prudent for
me not to refuse. / therefore attend
ed, and so did another white man, who
was, literally and figuratively, in the
same boat with myself.
Yes, we ate some of the baby. 1t
wasn't bad, but I've never hankered
after it since"
The captain went back to the bridge
and the drift of the talk turned away
from things to eat.

GERInAN THRIFT.
Small Economics Which Lay tho
Foundation for Fortunes

To begin with, the average German,
when he sets out to make money, is
content with little, says the New
York Sun. To him $4,000 is a COM
Portable amount to retire on; $4,000
is fortune; $25O,000 is great wealth.;
for S1.OOO,OO0, that is fabulous 1t
is said that in Bavaria, with popula-
ton of nearly as great as Pennsyl-
vanla, there are only three million-
aires. The great mass of professional
and buiness men have incomes of less
than $4,000 a year; most of them live
on $1,000 $1,000. The cost of living
is about the same as it is in America.
and the German does not live nearly
well.
Economy is considered by the Ger
man to be the surest way of making
money, and it is the devious way OF
ecoT omizing that first strike the trans
atlantic stranger all over the CONT
nent. The German, however, is past
master of economy. When one enters
restaurant and sees German wipe
the soup from his mustache with a
piece of bread and then eat the bread,
one begins to realize it; but that is
merely minor object lesson, for the
matter goes far deeper. When a Ger
man says to foreigner-and he
doesn't say it to another German, be-
cause they know each other too well
Come in and have drink he doesn't
mean exactly III order and you pay"
but he means that you certainly shall
pay for yourself, and he'll not protest
overmuch if you pay for both. He will
buy himself cigar (from one and
one-half to two and one-half cents)
before your eyes Immediately after
ward, and it will never enter his head
that you might like one, too.
When he bites or cuts off the tip
of that cigar he puts the tip into his
pocket to smoke in his pipe at home.
If he sees another man about to throw
a tip away he. will beg it from him,
even though he be an entire stranger.
When he smokes his cigar he smokes
it as close as he can without burning
his mustache. then extracts a paste
board mouthpiece from an inner
pocket and smokes it until it is en-
tirely consumed. There are no cigar
butts in Germany.
When you order coffee in cafe you
get with it a glass of water and three
slabs of sugar The coffee, which is
mfde of roasted figs, is so weak that
two of the slabs make it like syrup.
The German puts the third slab into
bis waistcoat pocket and contributes
to the family sugar bowl when he gets
home. When he goes to a, brewery or
beer garden he often, but not always,
stops on the way and buys food for
his luncheon to take with him. A
slice of black bread costs at the gar
den three-quarters of a cent. n pair
of sausages costs three and three
quarters cents at the delicatessen. as
against five cents at the beer garden.
Finally, to save one-half cent tip
to the kellnerin he becomes his own
waiter All these things are general
with men possessing annual incomes
up to say SSO0-an amount which is
not to be sneezed at in Germany.
