A PAINTER IN A SWAMP.

Wishing to make q study Of q por.
ton Of the swamp near Ell Akewa, In
Egypt, I set up my easel on the edge
of a pool where the ground seemed q
little firmer than the rest. Quickly
becoming engrossed in my work, I did
not notice that I was slowly sinking
until I found that my sketching stool
had nearly disappeared and my legs
were imbedded in the mud almost up
to my knees. With the breaking Of
the surface crust the black slime gave
out most horrible odors, and small
stinging flies, liberated from the earth,
quickly covered me, crawling up my
legs and arms, while the, mosquitoes,
combining in the attack, eventually
drove me from my half finished work.
Though really quite clear, the water
was so alive with mosquito grubs as
to appear almost opaque. By, thou
sands every moment the grubs would
come to the surface, either crawling
up the rushes or floating, and the outer
shells soon cracking In the sun left the
little insects at liberty. A few sec
onds sufficed to dry their wings and
give them life and strength. and then

THE IRONY OF FATE.-Speaking Of the
queer flukes of luck in the goldf1elds OF
Alaska, a writer in Ainslee's Magazine
says:
"Often after the pile is made acci.
dent, disease or death stops in to pre-
vent it's legitimate enjoyment.
Zone man dropped dead when at the
weighing of the first clean up he found
himself a rich man. There was some
thing wrong with his heart. He had
the physical strength to make the fight
against bad food and water, to endure
the back breaking toll Of developing
and working out and all the strain Of
the uncertainty that went before. The
supreme moment of success was more
than he could stand, and the use Of
the gold passed from him with Its ac-
Quirement.
"a certain James Meade lay down
with typhoid fever in an outlying camp
lust as he was starting for home with
the accumulations of the year, and he
and his bag Of dust entered Dawson
together on q litter. 1t took six men
to bring him in-alternating four to
carry and two to rest-and he paid
each man SIS day. Once in Dawson
Meade seemed to grow better. and
when his sailing day came he walked
to the boat. He reached the wharf and
fell dead as he was about to SO
aboard"

A GOOD SToRY.-John Drew gives the
following as lone Of the Best Stories
I Ever Heard" HE had lost his life
in the great Johnstown flood. He was
dead, but the appalling scenes and IN
cidents Of that terrible event were still
the only things on which he could hx
his thoughts. AS he entered the pearly
gates Of the spirit world he was so full
of his subject that he felt he must talk
Of 1t.
"He approached an aged man and
told him the story of how he died and
gave him a vivid word picture of the
scenes Of devastation in connection
with the flood. It was lurid tale; but
to the Johnstown mans surprise, his
auditor showed little interest In tin
fact, he seemed rather bored. The
flood victim told the next man he ac-
costed Of the old mans indifference to
his story.
"That's not strange said the second
man. DO you know who that wasT
"T do not replied the Pennsylva-
nian. T've only just arrived

FOOD At $40 AN OUNCE.

"A few days ago." said clubman,
II received q small jar filed with pc
culiar brownish paste, which was sent
me as q present by young Chinaman
who used to have a laundry here, but
Is now living in San Francisco. A let
ter which accompanied the gift ex-
planned that the paste was combina-
ton Of peanut buds and ginger jelly.
That sounds like joke, but it isn't.
IF you will break open the kernel Of
a peanut, you will find at the base lit
tie cone shaped formation usually sur
mounted by two microscopic leaves.
1t Is the life germ Of the nut, and If
planted would develop into tree. As
my friend Wong explained to me, the
nuts are first roasted and then these
minute growths are carefully extract
ed. They are 80 small it takes many
thousands of them to fill a teacup, but
when a sufficient number are collected
they are put in mortar and ground
into fine -four, which Is subsequently
mixed with the ginger jelly and rubbed
down to smooth paste.
THAT sent me was about the consist
ency Of cream cheese. and It had
peculiar aromatic taste that was rather
pleasant. 1t is one Of the queer semi
conf9tiOns that the Chinese like to
nibble at between courses. and as t
costs $40 an ounce 1t Is literally worth
almost It's weight In gold. have eaten

WIT OF THE INDIAN.-There was
lawyer in the Indian country who nae
none too good a reputation for non.
esty. One of the aborigines employed
him to do little legal business. 1t was
done to the clients satisfaction, the zee
duly paid, and a receipt for 1t duly oe'
manded.
"a receipt isn't necessary" the law
yer said.
"But I want it," replied the red man
There was some argument, and the at
torney finally demanded his reason
"Since becoming Christian l nave
been very careful in all my dealings
that may be ready for the judgment,
answered the brave sententiously, and
when the times comes I don't want te
go to the bad place to get my receipt
from you"
The receipt was made out and deliv-
cred promptly.

A STORY FROM DUBLIN.-It was at
Dublin dance. What lent addltlonal
luster to the occasion was the expec-
tation that a certain important peer
would put in an appearance and OF
course dance with certain fortunate
damsels. The guest Of the evening was,
however, late. An excellent and fussy
person saw a very pretty girl sitting
out dance after dance. He went up
and, speaking to the mother, observed:
"It is quite a shame that your pretty
daughter should be sitting out In TINS
way. You must really let me introduce
her to some nice young men who Will
give her all the dancing she wants.
"Whist!" cried the mother. BE aisy;
I'm kaping her cool for the earl"
