A pittsburger who has money to
spare had to go east on short notice.
He Is man given to eXclusiyeneSS,
and he detests travelling In n public
conveyance because he Is thrown In
with so many persons Of whom he
knows nothing. When he does take
trip, he takes n stateroom wherever he
can get it, or, failing In that, If his
business is urgent, he takes n section
in the sleeping car. He had little time
to make arrangements last week, but
his first thought was of a statcroom.
He called one Of the employees and
hurried him to the ticket office.
"Get a statcroom, If you can" he
said, "and, If you cannot, get section.
You know what a section is-two
berths."
"Yes, sir" replied the man as he
started Off.
He returned soon with the informa-
tion that there wasn't Il stAteroom to
be had on the train.
"But ! got two berths for you, sir
he said, handing out two tickets.
He nearly lost his job when his en-
ployer examined the tickets and found
one for upper 3" and the other for
upper S."-Pittsburg News.

Trees and Landowners In England.

Trees and Landowners In England.
BY the general laws Of England oak,
ash and elm are timber" If not youn-
ger than 20 years, or so old that good
post cannot be cut from them. What
constitutes climber" varies slightly ac-
cording to locality, but when tree Is
proved to be climber person who
has only life interest in the land 1t
grows upon cannot cut it down unless
it be on an estate cultivated solely for
the production of salable climber" or
unless he hasaspecial agreement giving
him power to do so. A mere life ten
ant may not even cut down trees which
are not climber" but which would at
the age Of 20 years attain that dignity.
Botanists differ as to the poisonous
nature of yew trees. There are many
instances both of their poisonous and
their harmless effect when browsed by
horses and cattle, but the partially
dried clippings Of ycw are certainly
most dangerous. If Il yew tree over
hangs a neighbours Hand and his horses
eat the yew without trespassing, the
owner Of the tree is liable to pay for
any injury the horses may sustain. On
the other hand, if the horses or cattle
cannot browse on the tree without put
ting their heads over the fence the
owner Of the horses must bear the loss,
for his animals have trcspassed.-L0n

The Army In the Field.

The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army In
the ffield. a few facts and figures rs
to this may aid to make it more tangi-
bic. Each man requires, at Il mini
mum, three pounds and half Of food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds of food in countries
where grazing Is not abundant. If we
take, for purposes of estimate, only 10
pounds required to supply each animal,
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume quantity that may be con-
sidered n minimum.
An army of 100000 men would re-
quire about 10000 animals for trans
portation of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
ical equipment. There should not be
less thnn 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes a total of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as q basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men 500, 900 pounds and for the horses
1,350,OOO pounds, or an aggregate or
1,S75OOO pounds. This is equal to
something more than S36 tons per day.

Turtles Trained to Fight,

You want to 60 to China to see AMI
NAL fighting reduced to science.
There are hundreds Of young men in
the larger cities there who make liv-
ing by training animals to fight and IN
exhibiting their savage qualities to In
terested audiences. They catch both
mud and swapping turtles. feed them
on raw meat and some sort Of drug
that warns them up, and at the end of
six months they become savage enough
to fight q tiger. The jaws and teeth
are filed and sandpapered until the
mouth becomes a dangerous thing to
go near. The turtle Is tantalized each
day with piece Of wood or bunch OF
cotton until Its temper reaches white
heat. When confronted with another
turtle that has been trained and badg-
cred In the same way, they go for each
other with dlstended Jaws, and there Is
sure to be fight to finish.
They have each been starved for a
week. Each is handled by his owner,
who has tcascd 1t to the killing point.
The two turtles are then placed In q
small ring, and only one comes out
alive. The fight lasts from one to ten
hours and death generally comes only
when one Of them has secured n throat
hold on his doomed antagonist.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Crabs In Oysters.

''The demand for that little southern
delicacy, the oyster crab, is always
larger than the supply, and have oil
l can do to obtain the 30 or 90 gallons
which are daily required for favoring
stews and making omelets In the lead
ing hotels, restaurants and clubs Of
this city," said wholesale fish dealer
In New York to Washington Star
writer. "Our northern oysters do not
contain the little dainties, SO am
obliged to buy them from the oyster
shuckers along the York, Rappdhan-
mock and other southern rivers. The
Chesapeake bay shore oystermen send
us some also.
1.-THE little crab found in the oyster
is not, as commonly supposed by two
thirds of the oyster eating community,
the young of the blue crab, but Is a
distinct species. 1t Is messmate Of
and caterer to the wants Of the oyster,
being therefore benefit instead OF a
detriment to the latter. In return for
the oysters kindness in protecting 1t
against its enemies the little crab
catches and crushes food which In Its
entire state could not be taken by the
oyster. A singular thing In connection
with them is that nll found inside Of
the oyster are females. The male Of
the same variety has hard she'll"

The Finger mills.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than 1t Is now the shape and
appearance OF the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny To learn the message Of the
finger nails it was necessary to rub
them over with n compound Of wax
and SCOT and then to hold them SO that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny, transparent substance
certain signs and characters We're sup
posed to appear, from which the future
could be Interpreted. Persons, too,
having certain kinds of nails We're cred
tied with the possession Of certain
characteristics. Thus a man with red
and spotted nails was supposed to
have hot temper, while pale, lead col
ored nails were considered to denote Il
melancholy temperament. Narrow nails
were supposed to betray ambition and
n quarrelsome nature, while round
shaped nails were the distinguishing
marks of lovers Of knowledge and peo-
pie of liberal sentiment Conceitcd,
narrow minded and obstinate folk We're
supposed to have small nails, indolcnt
people ncshy nails and those Of gen
tie, retiring nature broad nails.

The Arabs Little Game.

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality Of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples Of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph stored In Pha-
raoh's granarcs has been taken from
mummy wrappings and, when planted,
has grown. This is very likely erro-
neous, as the Arabs have a habit OF
selling to tourists samples of grain
which have In all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead Of from the
ancient tombs. Indeed in many in
stances this mummy grain has been
corn, and as corn was not known until
1t was brought from America, the
fraud is apparent.

The Two ROmeOa.

Joe Jefferson told this story: "David
Garrick and Spranger Barry were both
playing Romeo at the same time In
London. Barry played 1t at Drury
Lane on the Monday and Gnrrick play
ed it the next night at Covent Garden,
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in fact, there
was quite great excitement about it.
and they acted 1t upon such different
lines and with such mnrvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case rs to which Shapespeare In
tended. The fact Is that Shakespeare
intended 1t to be acted well, and If
one mans temperament suited 1t best
to act In that way 1t would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: 1t is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great, but l will tell you how they
impress me In the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garrick seems so
eager, so intense and so full Of fire and
spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up In
the balcony to me, and Barry Is so low
able and fascinating that I'm afraid /
shall have to jump down from the bal
cony to him."

The Poisonous Pineapple.

at is notorious fact" says The Ma
tional Druggist, that the pineapple Is
considered the least healthy Of all the
edible fruits of the tropics by those
who know anything Of the matter. The
juice Of the green and growing plant
Is credited in Java, the Philippines and
throughout the far east generally with
being a blood poison of most deadly
nature. 1t is said to be the substance
with which the Malays poison their
krishes and daggers and Is also credit
ed with being the finger nail poison

Why the judge Paid the Bill,

For this story Of the relation of poll
tics and medicine the Philadelphia
Medical Journal vouches: A physician
was summoned in haste to attend the
child of family that lived In two
rooms In the heart of large Ameri-
can city-not New York. The child had
been seized suddenly and seriously
and just at election time. The mother
was in despair, and when the doubtful
prognosis was given she broke into
wailing and violent self condemnation
for some horrible sin Of the family to
which she said the child's illness was
due-a direct punishment for their
crime. She would 60 and curse the mag
istrate for it all, her husband should
resign from "the force" and such evil
ways should be renounced forever.
Curious to know how the magistrate
could be held responsible for the child's
illness, the doctor finally secured the
confession that the crime Of the poor,
conscience stricken woman consisted
in allowing the names of many fraudu-
lent voters to be registered as residing
in her house, in swearing to the lie,
etc. The magistrate also had demand
ed this of all the nelghbors in return
for indescrlbable political favors.
The child recovered, and the magis-
trate paid the physicians bill.

Accom- mmOdnting Diseases.

Perhaps the record for school attend
ance belongs to a Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward, who was never absent
or late during his II years Of school
life, beginning with his fourth year.
The local member of the school board
for London tells the story that when
the proud boy received the attendance
medal for the eleventh year, which
had to be specially struck to meet his
case, the mother was questioned as to
how her boy had been able to make
so remarkable n record.
HAS he had the usual childrens

"Yes, SIR"
"The measles" ....

FraiI Historjnns of sevres.

Only 2Ha miles southwest of Paris,
Sevres is well known to tourists. Beau

Ing pains to have each period stamped
