PAYING FOR A MEAL.

It Was Worth a Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.
Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, Of Revolu-
tionary fame, was born and bred in
Middleboro, Mass. He was always
fond Of a joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to indulge his propen-
sity, as the following incident, related
by DR.. Hildreth, well illustrates. His
father, also a Colonel Sproat, kept a
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on furlough three private
soldiers on their return from the seat
of war, called for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants Of
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt a little vexed that the
defenders Of the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appetites.
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said, chow much Is 1t
worth to pick those bonesw
"About a shilling, guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the sol
diers, and, taking from the barroom till
8 shillings and smiling genially upon
them, gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
ed: Money! Did I not ask you what
it was worth to pick those bones, and
you said a shilling? thought it little
enough, for the bones were pretty bare,
and | handed the men the money
from the till, and they are gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation Of her words, and then
she, too, loved joke, and so, after an
instant's glum look, she laughed and
said it was all rightly uth's Com
panion.

HOW He Dea1t with Cowards.

In appearance Osman Pasha, the

distinguished by the plainness Of his
uniform. He had queer habit of al
ways, even in battle, carrying pen
Gil behind his ear, butt end foremost.
He was taciturn, grave, abrupt and
disdainful of forms and etiquette. He
hated all foreigners, especially Ger
mans, Russians and English. AS for
war correspondents, he entertained the
utmost detestation Of them, whence
the deeds of his army were never
chronicled as they should have been.
He had strange method Of dealing
with towards. He would send for
them and publicly box their ears.

Locusts Good to Eat.

All native African races eat locusts
With many it takes, and has to take
the place Of the British workman's
beef and mutton. In good many vii
lagos sun dried locusts are an article OF
commerce. The Sudanese are particu-
larly fond Of them.
Before they are eaten they are toast
ed. The wings and legs having first
been torn off, the long, soft body and
the crisp head form the delicacy.
1 determined not to let my European
prejudices influence me, but to give
the dish Of grilled locusts fair trial.
I thought how John the Baptist had
enjoyed them plus wild honey.
The one was eating was rather
nice. 1 agreed with my Arab servant
that, should the meat supply fall short,
a dish of locusts would be very good
substitute.
By the time was eating the sec
ond locust it seemed to me absurd
why one should have sort Of lurking
pity for John the Baptist's daily menu
unless it be for it's monotony, and
felt convinced that should get tired
of honey sooner than should Of To-
