An Excellent Reason.

Everybody has heard the message tele-
graphed by an unfortunate Hindu official
to account for delay ut the railway sta
ton of which he was i'll charge. Tiger
dancing on platform" he wired apologet-
ically; and blame was averted. 1t was
not tiger which an English captain, in
the old days at Cape Colony. offered as
his excuse to the angry Dutch authori-
ties: but it was an animal quite as use
full under the circumstances.
His ship the Marlborough, had failed,
on entering Table bay, to fire the salute
which their High-Mightinesses the. Di-
rectors' of the Dutch East India COM
pany always jealousy demanded.
AS II consequence, she had no sooner
come to anchor than she was boarded by
an indignant wharfmaster, who forbade
any man to set foot ashore until the mis-
take had been rect;6ed. He was in
duccd, however. to allow an officer to be
sent to the castle with an explanation.
1.-THE salute was not fred" the mes
sage ran, according to M old chronicle,
"because we had on board an Elephant
from Madras. This elephant had great
misliking for noise, and is of most vio-

resort to powder and guns to express
our respect for the Most Honorable Di-

be alarmed or angered and break loose
and do much damage.

courtesy, and to this beast only. that
the silence Of our ship is due; wherefore

Sacred Personal Property.

In some homes one feels that one
should have a sign ''private property" at
tached to all ones personal belongings.
There is disregard of meum ct tuum
that fills the visitor with wonder that
is not admiring.
Sisters wear one anotter's hats. borrow
one another's gloves and even use the
same brush and comb. Husband and
wife have towels in common, and the
state Of affairs leads one to almost be-
lieve i1 the lackneyed story of the fami-
ly toothbrush"
What riotous time the germs and
microbes must have in such home, and
how very uncomfortable it is for anybody
else.
Ones belongings should be used by the
owner, and by the owner only, and the
most intimate friend should feel that he
has no right TO make use Of one Of them
even for "just Once.''-Harper's Bazaar.
