The man who loses his head was In
church the other day, and n girl near
him had tainted. The church was very
close, aud he realized that the best
thing to do was To take her out, and as
he was a helpful man, always going to
the assistance of those in need he pro-
posed to carry her himself. But In
these days women do not faint often
enough to keep men in practice carry
Ing them out of churches or theaters,
and this man was very much excited
The girl had tainted just as a hymn
was being sung, and the man had n
hymn book In his hand, which If 1t re-
mained there would make him less able
to render his deed of mercy, so the first
thing to do. he realized, was to get rid
Of the hymn book.
"Won't some one take my hymn
bookY' he cried excltedly. "Some one
take this hymn boolF' he called again
with vehemenee. But no one volun-
teered, and It was not until another
man had taken the girl out that he
realized that lie might have dropped
that hymn book on the seat himself -

BABY'S PRETTY CURLS.

ruiied Them on In "a Car and Em-
bnrrassed Her Mamma.
\ well dressed woman with beautI-
full baby IN her arms attracted the at
tentlon of all the passengers on n Ger
mant0wn car Every one was fascl-
mated by the babys pretty and smiling
face and particularly by two golden
curls which hung down her cheeks.
After awhile the child became nerv-
Gus and began TO tug Mt one of the
curls which protruded from her hood.
The woman, presumably her mother,
quickly stopped her, but a few mo-
ments later she looked out of the win
dow. No sooner was her face turned
than the child seized her bonnet with
both hands and pulled II off. 1t offer
err little resistance, but to the astonish-
ment of every one on the car the curls
came with It, and the supposed golden
haired baby showed that In reality its
head was without the semblance Of
hair.
The CHILD swung the bonnet to and
fro and laughingly held It up for the
inspection OF the other passengers. 1t
was almost minute before the wom-
an turned around. When she saw
what the baby had done, her face
flushed, and without word she pick
ed up the child and walked sedately
out of the car When last seen, she
was trudging down Spring Garden
street with the baby tucked under her
arm like n sack OF oats, but still hold
ing tightly to the bonnet and cooling,

CIIH DweIIers' clever symbolic.

The symbols of the old cliff jewellers,
used to represent the things of nature,
were often very clever.
They represented the mountains by
terraces, the sky by arches. the winds
by coils and spiral lines, clouds by
stepped figures, the sun by a disk. the
moon by crescent the lightning by
the serpent, the rain by perpendicular
lines, the rainbow by different colors,
the water by certain animals, the air
by birds, the earth by horizontal lines,
the four points of the compass by
crosses, and the gods which preside
over the four quarters of the sky by
fetlches In the shape OF animals.

Worked In Mexico


Milne sailing nowadays has deyel

gineer and assayer who has lately re-
turned from the inspection of some
properties In old Mexico. In former
times II was done crudely. A rascal
who wanted to give fictitious value to

bought or stole n sack of high grade
ore and simply scattered 1t about the
excavation, where the victim would be
likely TO pick up Il few pieces for sam
ping. If an exposed ledge was to be
dealt with, he sometimes filed up a $50
g0ldpiece, loaded the dust Into Il shot
gun aud fired II against the surface
from which specimens would be taken.
But AT present greater inesse Is
needed. The MP 10 date purchaser in-
slsts upon having fresh ore blasted out

lie watches for an opportunity, and
when one presents itself quietly thrusts
the tip of the needle through the can
vas sack and gives the piston a gentle
push. The consequence Is that few
drops Of the liquid are discharged over
the surface of the ore. The quantity OF
gold in the solution Is almost inflnitesi-
NAL, but it is enough TO run up an as
say 81 900 n ton.
Meanwhile the victim Is tranquil In
the knowledge that he has selected the
samples himself and has them safely
sacked under his own private seal.

Actors have strange experiences. Not
so very many years ago Edward Sass
was acting ut Johannesburg in com
pany organized by his brother-in-law,
George Edwards. One OF the plays
produced was "The Solicitor" by Mr..
Darnley. During one of the acts the
players wore uniforms and accouter-
ments. Mr.. Sass received n request
from Mr.. Bleksley, an official of the
local fire brigade, to lend the swords
used in the play to the Transyaal gov
eminent in order to make a good dis.
play at the opening OF the Delagoa
Bay railway. The government was
short Of swords and thought that even
theatrical weapons would be more eff

or determined to test this for himself,
so one night he set out for the bar

the sentry:
do you know me-"
Eyes, your eNeellency."
IF man was being murdered close
by, would you quit your postY
"Never, yeur cxccllency."

know your duty. Well. what would

GOOD. Let us suppose some one Is
being murdered here. Whistle"
The soldier blew, but not soul an
swered. He blew again and again,
but the same silence prevailed.
THAT viii do" said the governor ut
last. "You have whistled your utmost
and nobody has come; but, mt any rate,
your conscience is tranquil. Now you
can go to sleep The man could have
been murdered two or three times over.
1t is unnecessary to overdo 1t by trying
TO wake your comrades, who appear to
sleep like the dead. The car should
be proud of such steady soldiers"
With that the governor went off,
congratulating himself that no one
would be likely TO accuse his police of
having share in the midnight muir
ders of the town.
