A claim once made on the explorer.
Cameron. in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some OF Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to a native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself He accordingly paid
another native $500 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it. but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
Giles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that he could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by $500 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the $500 which he, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
1t Is not stated that his expectations
were realized. -Watchman.

In Japan most of the horses are shod
with straw Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes, which, in
their cases, are tied around the ankle
with straw rope and are made Of the
ordinary rice straw, braided SO as to
form sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about a
halfpenny pair In Iceland horses are
shod with sleeps horn. In discussing
this subject a writer in The Horse
shoer's Journal says: In the valley of
the Upper Oxus the antlers Of the
mountain deer are used for the same
purpose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. In the Sudan the horses are
shod with socks made of camel's skin.
In Australia horseshoes are made of
oowhide. A German not long ago in

Acquitted.

Voltaire, when ON his estate of Fer
ney, was fond Of assuming the air of
nobility and displayed most philosoph-
ioal hatred of poachers. One luokless
fellow was caught and brought before
him. Voltaire determined to try him
according to law, and took his seat as
judge, directing his secretary to act as
counsel for the prisoner. The advocate
made a long speech in favor of the oul-
prit and stopped suddenly.
"Why do you hesitatei" asked Vol.
taire.
II wish to read passage from vol
ume in your library"
He procured the book and silently
turned its leaves. Voltaire became i'm
patient and demanded the cause of his
silence.

sterne's Destitution.

Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in state
Of destitution, he went one evening to
borrow 60 from his friend Garriok.
Upon arriving, he heard music and
knew that a party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knooker, aretraced
his steps.
We never feel our miseries SO keenly
% when oontrasted with the joys Of
others. and it is only then that we re-
alize Wordsworth's picture:
And homeless near thousand homes stood
And near thousand tables pined for food.
Another story Of this writer does not
evoke 80 much sympathy. 1t was known
that Sterne used bis wife very Ill, and
IN talking with Garriok one day In fine
sentimental style of oonjugal love and
fidelity he said, "The husband who be-.
haves unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head"

quietly. 81 hope yours is well insured. {"
