Two Pointers as to the Goat.


"You may go into the goat business
and educate the people of the middle
west to eat goat meat" said Wiley o..
Cox yesterday, "but you will not learn
from books what my father learned
from experience" and then Mr.. Cox
gave away trick of the trade.
'"The man who goes in for Angoras
will find that it is true they will jump
anything under 100 feet high and climb
a sapling. They will get at the neigh
boris wash as sure as it goes on the
line, and there will be lingerie to pay
for. But if you would be on the safe
side and keep the billy there turn him
up and cut away the little creeper that
you will find at the bottom of the hoof.
1t will not hurt him to- lose it, but it
ruins his ambition as n mountebInk.
1t will save lots of trouble to have a
chiropodist get at the Angora with q
nail trimmer"
Goat meat cannot be distinguished
from mutton ordinarily. In every car
of sheep that comes from New Mexico
there are sure to be from two to doz-
en- goats in the lot. They all go to the
same block at the packers, and the
good wife who takes home goats chops
for lamb chops is never the wiser. Nor
is the butcher. A goat is only a goat
when he has his pelt on. After that he
is sheep.-Kansas City Journal.

Cheaper Than a Funeral.

The favored doctor found his services
In great request, but as payment was
not always forthcoming he made a rule

window. He waited, however, to hear
what they would say. well, what will
we do now" asked the farmer whose
wife was Ill. And the reply that was
given must have been as gratifying as
1t was amusing to the listening doctor.
1t was: 81 think you would better give

QUESTION
OF Lighting East Market
Street
Will Come Up For Final Settlement
at Council Meeting Tonight.

The question of lighting East Mar
ket st. with gas instead of electricity
as recommended by the Board of City
Commissioners, will come up for final
settlement at tonght's meeting of the
City Council. From present indca-
tions the ordinance introduced two
months ago 10 make such a change
will in all probability be defeated, as
n majority of the Councilmen are said
to be in favor of present electric
lighting system as furnished by the
Northern Ohio Traction company.
1t is believed that the ordinance
relating to the reorganization of the
Police department by creating a cap
tain, lieutenant and sergeant In ad-
dition to the Chief of Police, will pass
in due time.

The Ludy nud the Cobra.

An English woman residing in India
one evening found to her horror that
huge cobra had coiled itself about her
veranda rails, near which she sat play
ing the violin. She was too near the
snake to run with safety, so she contin-
ued playing while she gradually edged
away. At first her only idea was to
keep the creature thus engaged while
she escaped, but when she had gained
a safer distance and perhaps fascinat-
ed by the unwonted sight strange in
spration seized her. She played air
after air of different characters.
The effect was magical. That snake
behaved like an ardent, hot blooded
disciple of Paganini. Every variation
in the music, whether Of volume or of
tone, produced instantly correspond
ing change In the attitude of the cobra.
If she played lively dance, it swayed
its body sideways in quick time and
yet in graceful curves. Once she struck
a number of false notes in rapid sue
cession on purpose. The cobra WINGED
and writhed in pain as IL suddenly
struck with whip.
Thus the creature behaved like a
mad musician till the lady, getting
tired of the sport, gradually worked
herself farther and farther and then
made a sudden bolt into her room and
banged the door, leaving the cobra to
wander disconsolate to its lair in the
fields.

QuicksiIyer.

The ore from which quicksilver is OBJ
aimed is brilliant red rock known as
,inpabar. When of high purity, 1t is
actually yermilion In color. Cinnabar
is the original source of the pigment
known commercially as vermilion. 1t
Is compound of sulphur and quick
silver, and in order TO separate the lat
ter from the sulphur the rock is roast
ed. Passing off in the form of gas,
the mercury is afterward condensed
and flows ont In n fine stream, like a
continuous pencil of molten silver.
The discovery of the famous Califor-
mia mines came about in an odd sort Of
way by observation of the vermilion
paint. with which certain Indians in
that part OF the country frescoed their
bodies. It was ascertained where they
got the pigment, and thus were revealed
the rich deposits which subsequently
became of such commercial impor-
tance. Like gold and silver, mercury is
occasionally found in native or pure
state. Sometimes the miners pick

Shakespeare In the Bible.

In Shakespeare's name lies the key
to wonderful cryptogram. The SPELL
ing Shakespeare" was the poets nom
de plume, while "Shakespere" was his
name, an evident change from Shakes
pear" In each of the two spellings
last given are ten letters-four vowels
and six consonants. Combine these
two figures, and we have the number
46, the key to the mystery.
Turning to the Forty-sixth Psalm in
the revised version, II is found that the
psalm is divided into three portions,
each one ending with ''selah" Remem-
ber the number--4G.
Counting 40 words from the begin
ming of the psalm, one reads the word
shake" in the FIRST portion, and count
ing 46 words from the end of the psalm
one reaches the word 'spear." There
is "Shakespear' as plainly as letters
can make it.-London Answers.
