In Command for Once.
A man-o'-war was lying of Gibraltar,
and permission was given to the men
to go ashore for the day. The sailors
amused themselves in various ways
among others, by riding about on don
keys, and their want Of experience In
this line caused much amusement. An
officer, observing one Of the men sitting
back very far upon the animal, called
out:
81 say, Bill, get up more amidships!'
With an injured air, he replied:
"Well, sir, this is the first craft /
have ever commanded in my life, and
it's hard indeed if I can't ride on the
quarterback if I like."-Answers.

BUTTER BIZ THE A r.
Peculiar Way of Selling 1t to Stu
dents at Cambridge. EnHland.

Peculiar Way Of Selling 1t to stu
dents at Cambridge, England.
Probably Cambridge, England, is the
only place in the world where n
would be likely to find butter sold by
lineal measure; but here, in accord
ance with the old custom, it is literally
sold by the yard. For generations it
has been the practice Of Cambridge
shire dairy folk to roll their butter
into lengths, each length measuring
a yard and weighing a pound. Deity
wrapped in strips Of clean, white cloth,
the cylindrical rolls are packed into
long and narrow baskets made for the
purpose and thus conveyed to market.
The butter women who, in white
linen aprons and sleeves, preside over
the stalls in the mart have no need of
weights Or scales for dispensing their
wares; constant practice and an ex-
perienced eye enable them with a
stroke Of the knife to divide a yard OF
butter with almost mathematical ex-
actness.
The university people are the chief
buyers Of this %curiously shaped article.
In addition to being famed for its
purity and sweetness, Cambridge yard
butter" is eminently adapted for serv-
ing out to the university students in
the daily commons. Cut into convent
emily sized pieces, and accompanied
by a loaf of the best wheaton bread,
q stated portion is sent round every
morning to the rooms Of the under
graduates for use at the daily break
fast and tea.

It Reminded the Dying R~eprobate Of

The story was told by a railroad con-
tractor over the black coffee of a GER
tain Bohemian table d'hote in the old
quarter. II never fully appreciated
that proverb about finding a mans
heart through his stomach" he said,
until a couple of years ago., when I
was doing a bit of construction work
On the Texas and Pacific, out beyond
Alexandria. One day a strapping big
fellow we all knew as Chicago Pete,
who was bossing a shovel gang, was
struck by a falling derrick and had
half a dozen ribs crushed in. He was
dying when they brought him to camp

preacher, who happened to be riding
by at the time the accident occurred.
made the poor fellow as comfortable
as l could in my shanty and the par
son undertook to administer spiritual
consolation, but he soon found he had
a rather difficult job. Chicago Pete
had been a pretty tough customer all
his life and had most Of the traits
that decent folks can get along with
out, but he entertained a supreme con-
tempt for death-bed reformations and
told the preacher so with a picturesque
establishment of profanity that made
the good mans hair bristle on his
head. Nevertheless he stuck to his
task and for upward of an hour he
pleaded with the sufferer to repent be-
fore it was too late. Finally, when he
was about to give up in despair, my
cook next door began to fry some
oysters which I had secured that
morning as a special treat, and as
their faint odor drifted into the shanty
Pete suddenly opened his eyes. Them
oysters reminds me of home he said
When you were a boy?' asked the
minister, taking the u as quick as
lightning. Yes said Pete, my mother
used to fry oysters that smelt just like
them do Then think Of her now, my
dear friend!' the minister cut in
Think Of your poor old gray-haired
mother!' and between the redoubled
odor of the oysters and the earnest
ness of his appeal Pete, was actually
shedding tears in less than five min
utes. Will you join me in prayer?
asked the preacher presently. Yes,
said Pete, If you'll leave the dooi
open so I can keep on smelling them
OYSTERS and a little later he passed
quietly away in the odor of sanctlty
and hot grease. That's a true story
boys, and wherever may Peter be
1 trust that all is we'll with him. He
was a good fellow at the bottom and
he died like a Christian and a gentle
man."

American in the London Hospital.

In no other hospital in London is the
religion Of any sect especially consid-

wards reserved for the Jews, where
their religious observances are care

have their WI kitchen, where food is
prepared according to their belief, and
from which every Jew in the hospital
is served. A rabbi conducts service
every Saturday, and 1 saw on the
frames of the doors the places where
the commandments are fastened. There
are Accommodations for eighteen men
and fourteen women, but the Jewish

rh. leo Cream Burned.

b leo cream 11Qx0OOs
A few years ago a famous actor was
asked what was the most amusing
thing-not down on the bills-which
he had ever met with in his long theat-
rical experience. He replied that once
in a play in which he appeared, an Ice
cream freezer, presumably filled with
cream, was among the properties dis
played to the audience. It was not
practicable to equip the freezer with
real ice cream, SO its place was sup
piled by cotton. One Of the actors had
occasion to cross the stage with a fam
ing torch, and a spark from the torch
must have fallen into the freezer, for,
to. the Joy Of the audience, which
greeted the casualty with enthusiastic
applause, the ice cream was incon-
sistent enough to burn up then and
there, thus inficting a serious blow
upon the realism" Of the performance.

The Unlucky Thirteenth,

Somehow the talk had drifted on
superstition. The red-faced man was
the last to speak: "Gentlemen," he
said, give always been superstitious
since one cold night last winter. I
was feeling bad-had had a little
trouble, and I made up my mind to
drown my sorrows, for a time at least.
I went into the first saloon I came
across and I stood at the bar and
drank twelve cocktails in less than
M hour. AS heaven is my Judge,
gentlemen, when I started to pour
down the thirteenth my hands be-
came numb, my legs refused to sup
port me and I fell to the floor helpless.

something uncanny and strange in the

LACK GOOD MANNER

often the selfish fellow will be a we'll
dressed schoolboy or one whose man
ners otherwise will show a decent
bringing up and good manners at
home. They don't care, that's all. They
have been taught it by somebody.
Time and again l have seen a mother
sit ~complacently with a half grown boy
or girl beside her, while other women
stood up. Did she care? Did b sug-
gest to the boy that he should arise
and give his seat to some poor old
woman? Not a bit Of it. She had paid for
that seat and meant to keep it In the
family. In such cases I have always
hoped that she might be clinging to a
strap the next time, while some other
mothers darling kicked his feet
against her dress and stared at her In
complacent% selfshness. There Is prob
