Look Before You Leap.

Once upon Il time there was q young
man Who believed what the books said.
He left the farm and came TO the
great city to make his fortune and to
climb the laddc. of fame. The books
said 4 great deal about the ladder Of
fame, so the young man exercised him
self on copybook morals and poor Ricn-
ards almanac in order to be able to
chin himself up round at time.
He was especially strong on run
away horses. and one day, to his sr2t!-
fication. he saw a mad steed plunging
down the crowded street. He could
not see any fainting maiden attached,
but still he knew this wss his oppor-
tunity. He sprang for the bride. but
hit the front wheel instead and was
projected with violence into the gut
ter. Six months later, when he came
out of the hospital. he was sent to the
Home For the Predetermined for try
ing to stop a fire marshal in the per
formance Of his duty.

Shooting at a Balloon.

At Meudon. near Paris, captive bal
loon was recently allowed to rise to a
height of $50 meters and then shot at
with a Lebel rifle. Most CT the shots
passed through the lower half of the
balloon, and some pierced the upper
half. The effect on the ballon was
hardly perceptible, as six hours elapsed
before, in a very gentle descent. it
reached the earth. It is evident that
the light gas did not escape through
the holes made in the lower part OF
the balloon, and to make holes effect
lively in the upper half would require
a gun of greater caliber and firing per-
haps shrapncl. 1t would not, how
yer, be an easy matter to hit with shot
from q large gun balloon travelling at
a considerable distance from the
ground.-London Times.

which weighs almost seven pounds.
NJ. Gerard, the professor in charge Of

there is no possibility whatever that
he has confounded the tooth with that
Of the ,negalosaurus, as some scientists
have limited.

ROYAL NAMES A RooDCO.
One of the Strongest supsrstitions
OF the English Nav.

OF the English Nav.
One of the very strongest and most
ineffaccable Of all superstitions in the
royal navy. a superstition that is al
most as strong today as ever it was, is
that vessels bearing the names Of roy
al personages are doomed to Ill luck.
and, strange as it may seem, there is
an undeniable historic basis for this
feeling.
Some of the most terrible disasters
ever known in connection with our ma
w have concerned war vessels with
royal names. Two vessels called the
Royal James came to disastrous ends.
One of them exploded. and some 800
officers and seamen perished. The 9th
er ship so named was actually carried
out of the mouth of the Thames by the
Dutch Admiral de Ruyter under cir
cumstances disgraceful to those in
charge Of the craft
Then there is the forever memorable
disaster to the Royal George, an un-
lucky ship previously, that turned over
and sank in sight OF crowds at Spit
head, over 1000 souls, among whom
were 300 women, being sacrificed. And
second only to this hideous disaster is
that which afterward befell the Royal
Charlotte, which. after career of
much vicissitudc, was consumed by
fire off Leshorn. oser Se0-of the very
flower ct the navy pcIishins with her.
When in 1893 the Victoria. new
vessel and the very triumph OF modern

went, was rammed and sank ut once

hundreds of lives were lost. there was
not sailor, however matter. of fact he

story Of a Popular Drink.

Laurence W. Miller, recently return
ed from Cuba, tells this story of how
popular drink received a singular name
in a singular manner: Mayor Bacardi
Of Santiago makes very fine brand OF
rum, to which he has given his name,
said Mr.. Miller. Not long ago party
Of Spaniards and Americans was gath
cred together at the Cosmopolitan club,
which is the new name for the old
Anglo-American club. When the time
came for drink all around, one OF the
Spaniards ordered Bacardi rum and
settlers. The next man said. 80 mismo,'
which, being translated, means the
same The Americans, not knowing
the Spanish names Of their pet drinks,
all chimed in, 'MiSmo.' Evidently the
concoction pleased them, for the next
day one Of the Americans dropped IN
with some companions and ordered
four 'misnlos.' 1t happened that the
same waiter was on duty, and he had
intelligence enough to know what the
Americans meant. Accordingly the
Bacardi rum and settlers was brought.
and the waiter told the joke to all bis
friends. 1t spread with remarkable
rapidity until now every barkeeper in
Santiago knows what you are after if
you ask for 'mismo.' In fact, you
rarely ever hear Bacardi rum and sell
tiers spoken of in any other way now"

That of Foods and Their Accessories.
Including Pan-American Spices.
A very dainty pamphlet has been is
sued by the Division of Foods and Their
Accessories of the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo. The food work at
the Pan-American comes under the
general department Of Horticulture.
Forestry and Food Products. Of which
Mr.. Frederic ". Taylor is superintend-
ent. Mr.. G. Edward Fuller, as assistant
superintendent, has entire charge OF
the Division Of Foods and Their Ac-
cessories, and he has prepared himself
for unusual work in this line by spe-
cial travel and study such as no one
else probably ever undertook with the
same object. This pamphlet calls the
attention of jobbers Of teas. conees
and spices and all dealers in food prod
ucts generally and their accessories to
the interesting. useful and educational
work in their lines Of business which
is going. on for the pan-American Ex-
position of 1901.
The assistant superintendent. Mr..
Fuller. says: I'm the far east there are
foods and condiments Of which we are
almost utterly ignorant here, and one
Of the aims Of the food exhibit Will be
to educate the people Of the western
hemisphere to the cultivation OF the
products whica flourish in the east. 1t

and profitable it would be. for instance.
