AFRAID OF BEING KISSED.
Clever Story of Man. Mad and
an Iron Kettle

Clever Story of Man, a Mad and
an Iron Kettle.
Here is an ingenious Circassan sto-
ry: A man was walking along one
road and a woman along anothe. The
roads finally united. and the mn and
the woman. reaching the junction at
the same time, went on from there to-
gether. The man was carrying large
iron kettle on his back In on. hand
he held by the leg live chicken, in the
other cane, and ne was leaiing a
goat. Just as they were coming to a
deep, dark ravine the woman sid to
the man:
Il am afraid to go through tha dark
ravine with you. 1t is a lonely place,
and you might overpower me AMI kiss
me by force
IF you are afraid of that" said the
man, you shouldn't have walked with
me at all. How can possibly over
come you and kiss you by force when
have this great iron kettle on my back,
a cane in one hand and live chicken
in the other and am leading golt? L
might as well be tied hand and foot"
yes" replied the woman, "but if
you should stick your cane ii the
ground and tie the goat to it and turn
the kettle bottom side up and put the
chicken under it, then you mightwick-
edly kiss me in spite Of my resist
ance."
Success to thy ingenuity, o wom-
an!' said the man to himself. 81 should
never have thought Of this expedent."'
And when they came to the ravine he
stuck his cane into the GROUND and
tied the goat to it, gave the chicken to
the woman, saying, Hold it whileNI
cut some grass for the goat" andthen,
lowering the kettle from his shoulders,
he wickedly kissed the woman, as she
was afraid he would.-Stray Stories.

regard to hunting turkeys is that, with

The Magic Lantern.

How many of us while using magic
lanterns have wondered how they were
first made? Indeed they are of very
respectable antiquity. AS early as the
seventeenth century Jesuit named
Kircher CONSTRUCTED one. 1t was a
very crude affair. and as he was not
unwilling to excite the fears of the
persons who witnessed his exhibitions
he called it magic lantern. and so
1t has always been called.
There are reasons to believe that the
lantern was in use even earlier than
the seventeenth century and that the
mysterious figures which the old as
trologers produced in the smoke Of
their mystic fires We're produced in the
same way as Kircher produced his, the
smoke hiding the lantern.

Strange as it may seem, people kill
ed in railroad wreck are generally
bereft of their shoes by the shock. In
commenting on this popularity an old
railroad engineer said: "a man who is
killed in railroad accident seldom
dies with his boots on. / don't know
why this should be, but it is fact. II
is particularly true in the case of a
man who is struck by an engine and
killed. In nine cases out of ten, when
the body is picked up, it will be found
minus shoes. Even men wearing heavy

strange rule. Why is it? i guess you'll

After trudging all day along the ton

After the usual greeting we seated our.

why are the turkeys always on the
run when see them?''
The old man spit through his teeth,
changed his position, laid his long,
muzzle loading rifle on the ground, put
the fourth portion of plug of tobacco
In his mouth and proceeded to tell me
why the turkeys were always on the

why this is. l have made microscop-
ical examination Of the eyes of the

find no material difference in the lens
and retina. The ciliary muscles and
the iris are exactly the same, yet none
of these keen visioned creatures can
compare with the turkey in point of
seeing. | remember the acuteness Of
sight displayed by one old gobbler. I
had carefully concealed myself, and no
