He says Frankfort newspaper some

MORAL SUASION ON A DOG
How . Minister Easily Ovsreame the
Animosity of q Belligsrsnt
Canine.

A clergyman who went up into the
country to preach and lived there a
considerable time had occasion in his
ministrations to drive regularly over
a certain road. At house on that
road lived big bulldog which always
came out and attacked him viciously.
The minister stood this for good
while, until finally, as he drove past
one winter night in low sleigh,
means of correcting the dog by moral
suasion occurred to him. He stopped
his horse in the road before the house.
The dog rushed out madly, barking
and threatening to jump into the
sleigh. The minister sat in his sleigh
and paid no attention. The dog re-
tired, returned to the assault, retired
again, and third time rushed out
TO the attack. but did not touch the
man. Then he returned to the door
step and laid down, apparently utter
ly crest fallen and disgusted with such
a man; and, as he paid no further at
tention, the minister drove off. After
this the minister drove many times
past the house. but the dog paid no
attention to him, and never seemed
to see him at all. He was cured.

SPIDER TIME IN MANILA.
There L. Great Sport for the Filipino o
Boys in Making the In
asets Fight.

When "spider time" arrives the Fill
ipino boy is happy. He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that is just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he is to have great sport. There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in co.or that ma
ture in June. They are as large as the
common black spider SO plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in box.
\ small rod the size and length of a
knitting needle is procured. A spider
is then placed on the rod. Another boy
comes along and he bets cent that
his spider will whip. says the San Jose
(CaL) Mercury. Then the sport be-
gins.
The boy who is challenged produces
his spider, places it on the rod with
the challenger's. Each spider makes
a rush for the other and fierce bat
tie ensues. Sometimes the stronger
of the two wi7fszd web around the
other, fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out of bust
ness" The spiders sometimes fight for
ten minutes. Nearly every boy has
from eight to ten spiders, and they
bet all the Filipino pennies they can
get on the result Of the fight.

MAN NEVER WITHOUT BEER.
NinstssA Centuries Before Christ
the Process of Making Beer
Was Taught.

When the Romans first invaded Ger
many they found that the beverage Of
the people was a beer produced from
barley. But that was at time com
paratively modern. From the earliest
times and in every cline, says
an authority, man has had re-
sort to some stimulating and ex-
hilarating beverages prepared by fer
menting the juices or. extracts from
fruits, grain or plants. 1t is said
that Osiris as early as 1860 B. C..
taught the process of extracting the
juice from barley and fermenting it.
while the Greeks learned how to brew
and ferment from the Egyptians, who,
3GO B. c., had established number
of manufactures at Pelusium. on the
Nile. Xenophon, 400 B. C.. refers to
a fermented drink from barley. and it
is alluded to by Aristotle. Strabo and
others under the name of zythos
Pliny mentions a kind of beer called
"cerevisia." and Eunemenes in A. D.
296 says that Britain produced such
an abundance of corn that it was
sufficient to supply not only bread
but liquid comparable with wine
In the seventh century beer had be-
come so general beverage in Eng
land that Ina, king of Wessex. levied
a tax to he paid in ale, and early in
the fifteenth century brewers COM
pany was formed in London. Up to
the sixteenth century English beer
was very poor, only favored with
broom. bay berries or ivy berries. but
in 1912 the cultivation of the hop
plant was begun in England. and from
that time great change was made
in the quality of the beer manufac-
tured. In 1910 the first brewery was
established at Burton-on-Trent, and
by the end of the seventeenth century
beer had become the national drink.

NOT vERsED IN ROMANCE.
Manuscript Of Scott'x .sIvanhoC' Was
Rejected by Many London
Publishers.

By way Of practical joke type
written copy of Scott's "Ivanhoe" was
recently sent the rounds of the Lon
don publishers, under the title, when
John Was England's King 1t was
returned in every case. The London
Academy amuses itself by imagining
the form taken by the letters of re-
lection. 1t thinks Messrs. Macmillan
might have written somewhat like
this:
"Messrs. Macmillan & Co. regret to
have to return When John Was Eng
lands King, but they fear that inter
est in historical fiction is diminishing.
Their readers report of the story is
in the main favora BILE. but he points
out that the charge of initiating THE
Forest Lovers one of Messrs. Mac
millan's recent publications, might
perhaps be difficult to rebut. In his
opinion the author of When John
Was England's King would perhaps
have made better and more reada BILE
book had he studied Mr.. Hewlett more
carefully"
Here is another burlesque letter:
'Mr. John Murry begs to return the
MS. of When John Was England's
King and to quote passage from
his readers report thereon: 4 do not
recommend this novel, although it is
painstaking and thorough. The au-
thor would, l think. have been wiser

The king of Denmark takes an ac-

the humblest of his subjects. The
man who is now the ''home farmer

him from his early boyhood and was
the son of one of the kings wealthiest
farmers. A few years ago. says Lon
. don paper, he fell desperately in love
with pretty milkmaid who was in
the employ of his parents. AS usual,
the course of true love did not run
smooth, for the father was extremely
annoyed and humiliated when he
heard of this little affair and ordered
his offspring to give up any idea of
ever becoming welded to q girl be-
longing to the servant class. Nothing
daunted, the young fellow went
straight to the king and entreat tied
him to intercede for him and for his
fair inamorata. The good king, much
touched by the evident distress of
the lad, did as he was asked, and. of

LafrIkin Rules the Cities of Australia

For several reasons Australia may be

he is understood in stature. slight in
build and sallow in complexion, prob
ably owing to an early excessive use of
cigarettes. His attire is unique and un-
mistaka BILE. He wears narrow brim
felt hat on one side of his head short
jacket reaching to the hips. pants very
tight about the waist to the knees. but
spreading out bell-shaped at the an
kles to the tips of his shoes The latter
are invariably with high heels.
Singly desperate coward. but in
packs or gangs as he perambulates the
sidewalks of Melbourne or sydney he
becomes a terror to women and chill

found out of the cities.

bles the same species in America, only

In no country in the world are the un-
employed treated with so much consid-
Grafton by the authorities as in Aus
tralia. AS the labor vote controls the
balance of political parties. and the
floating population of unemployed are
'workingmen." in that respect officials
are chary of saying no to a deputation
of this class of citizens.
For instance. as has more than once
happened, if body of unemployed
should wait upon the minister of the
interior with request for free trans
portation on the government railroads
to some remote district, where they as
sert work is to be found. the minister.
particularly if an election is at hand,
has no other recourse but to issue the
tickets.
Then. if, when the place is reached,
climatic or other conditions are not
found to be as conjectured, pressing
request for return passage does not
often meet with refusal.

NEW STYLE OF LINE MAPS.
Some for Railroads Are Nodded OF
Various Kinds of Clay and
Baked Like Brick.

It is learned that the Northwestern
Railway company, of England. is in
Producing in several of the stations of
the line maps of the tile for accommo-
dation of patrons of the road. The
maps measure about six feet square
and are made of tiles six inches square.
In manufacturing these maps the tiles
are made by the ordinary process of
mixing various kinds of clay in liquid
form. After the necessary treatment
the tiles are nodded. placed in the
kiln and brought to the condition tech
nically known as "bisque." The draw
ing of the map is reproduced on copper
plates. one plate for each tile. and
impressions are made upon specially
prepared paper. The prints so pre-
pared are transferred to the surface of
the bisque tile and rubbed into il care
fully to cause the oily ink of the pa
per impression to adhere to the tile.
The paper is then removed by damp
ening it with water and rubbing it off.
the ink being left behind without any
danger Of injuring the surface of the
tile or blurring the tineness or the
sharpness of the lines. The tiles are
then sent to the kiln to be ''hardened
on" after which they are put in kilns
and fired. They are then taken to the
painting-room. where the co.ors are
put on by hand. after which they are
sent to the namelng kilns After his
third firing they are ready for slab
bing." as the cementing of design
or pattern in tile work is called.
1t has been suggested that these maps
will prove valuable for use for other
than railroad purposes. particularly in
the schoo.rcc NJ a great feature of this
style being its durability.
