Bread For Horses.

A delivery wagon of one of the big
bread baking factories stopped in front
of an up town livery and boarding sta
BILE, and two men at once unloaded bar
rels of bread and carried them into the
stable. The bread looked good and
was good. There were all sorts and
sizes of loaves in the barrels-"home-
made" rye" Vienna" potato"
graham" and cottage"
The curiosity of a man who saw the
bread being delivered to the stable was
aroused. and he ventured to ask the
proprietor of the stable what it meant
There's nothing remarkable about
it," said the proprietor with a laugh.
81 simply buy it for horse feed. We
grind the bread up and mix it with
other feed, and it makes first class food
for horses. 1t is stale bread and costs
us 40 cents a barrel, and there are so
or 60 loaves to the barrel, so you see it
comes pretty cheap. Some of the bread
is only a day old and is good enough
for any man to eat. but the bread fac
tories cannot sell it. What you see here
are returned loaves from the grocer
ies."-New York Journal.

He Knew PIaYfnir

The manager of the phosphate mine
was Scotchman, tall, big boned, with
the strongest Glasgow Doric in his
tongue. At first he was obdurate and
desired us to leave the ground and to
drop the specimens which we had
taken before he appeared. At last l
addressed him in good Scotch and ask
ed him whether he thought l was a
mining adventurer. "Aye, that's just
what we are"
NO" replied, 81 am Scotch pro-
fessor."
"Then, If We are, ven be havin a
name"
"My name" said, "is Playfair."
"Man," said my Scotch friend, "are
We Lyon Playfair?'
l assured him | was, but expressed
surprise that he knew the name, to
which he replied, looking from his G
feet 2 inches with compassion on my
8 feet inches, "Hoot, mon, yer names
Travelled farther than yer wee legs will

The TIIusiOn.

"What beautiful peachesw said an
old lady as she stopped at a stall in the
market and admired a basket Of the
choice fruit. They were covered with
pink gauze and looked very tempting
indeed.
The old lady bought the peaches and
took them home. The next day she ap-
peared again at the stall and showed
the stall keeper small piece Of pink
yelling
''Do you keep that kind Of yelling for
sale?" she asked.
The stall keeper told her that he did
not.
"Well,' she said, "when took those
peaches home they were small and
sour and green, and thought If l
could get some of that yelling that
made them look so pretty and plump
in the basket I'd wear 1t myself. If it
would improve me as much as 1t did
the peaches, people would think I'd
found the elixir Of youth. London

An Awful MlsbaU.

Two passengers on an Atlantic liner,
one an American and the other an Eng
lishman, did not exchange the farewell
courtesies when the steamer reached
her pier usual between voyagers who
have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voy-
age. A plausible explanation was
vouchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted In fraternizing with the
American in a most obtrusive and an
noying manner. Within two days Of
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
in apparent dependency, gazing sea-
ward from the hurricane deck.
"Confounded blue this morning, old
chap. What's the matterT And the
Britisher slapped his companion on the
back.
Matter enough" growled the Amer
lean. "Ship's lost; captain don't know
which way to steer. Forgot to wind
the compass last night"
The Englishman listened with mouth
agape, then rushed off to tell his friends
Of the consequential mishap. Evident
ly the gullible Britisher was ''pushed
along for some time until he found
everybody guying him.-Boston Post. =

A Mysterious Password.

The Baroness Burdett-Coutts was
once shopping in Paris and was passed
from one department to another by
the shopmen, always with the remark,
"Two ten" She was escorted from
counter to counter, and everywhere the
cabalistic words two ten" were re-
peated.
Struck by the popularity of this re-
frain, the baroness asked the proprietor
as she left the establishment: "Pray
what does two ten mean? / noticed
each assistant said 1t to the 'other
wherever went in your shop"
"Oh, 1t is nothing" he replied, "mere-
ly password that they are in the hab-
1t of exchanging"
But the baroness was not satisfied
with this explanation. So in the even.
ing, when the porter, young boy,
brought home her purchases, she said:
"My boy, would you like to earn 8
francsp
OF course he had no objection.
"Tell me-" said the lady, "what does
'two ten mean, and I will give you
francs"
"Why, don't you know, ma'amT said
he, evidently astounded at her igno-
rance. ut means, Keep your two
eyes on her ten fingers"
The mystery was solved. The shop
men Of the Trois Quarters had taken
the richest and the most generous wo-
man in Great Britain for a shoplifter.

The Judges Affidavit.

Some years ago Justice of the Peace
Beasley Of Missouri was personally in
terested in u lawsuit, being a party
thereto. 1t was necessary for him to
make an affidavit, and he deprecated
the idea of making it before another
justice or notary and depriving HIM
self of fee. So he filled out his affi-
davit, swore to it before himself, sign
ed it as justice and as witness and
awaited developments. He was sure
that he would win and thus be able to
tax the costs up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley, the affidavit was offered In evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that a justice could
not swear himself.
"Let me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t was handed up to the judge, who
scanned 1t carefully for a few mo-
ments and then asked:
"Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identified
your own signatureT'
'That was very easy, your honor"
replied Beasley. 81 borrowed a look
ing glass and went through the formali-
ties before It,"
Beasley was somewhat astOnished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
jection.-Omaha World-Herald.

Where Everything Grows.

The tuberose flourishes amazingly In
the open air in the Transvaal with but
the smallest attention and cultivation.
The bulbs shoot up their three or four
foot stems, each bearing very sweet
smelling flowers, in an incredibly short
space of time.
In Pretoria roses are prolific-in fact,
most Of the streets are bounded by rose
hedges throughout their length, and
they bloom with frail pink monthly
rose blossom for three quarters of the
year. In public places, such as the
Burghers' park, the profusion of roses,
lilies, carnations and tuberoses is be-
wilderingly beautiful.
The wild orchids of Swaziland are
famous. They are Of at least 20 differ
ent kinds. They are extremely curious,
and with little care and extra heat
they can be induced to develop into
very wonderful plants.
Everything grows in the Transvaal If
the trouble is taken to plant it. The soil
being all virgin and naturally rich, the
very smallest amount of attention is
required.

How n Lion Charges,

A lions first signs of anger are as
follows: Its tail rapidly twists from
side to side, the bottom slightly raising
and the black tasscl at the end beating
the air; it lowers it's head more than
usual and growls, at intervals showing
Its teeth. Then it's voice becomes loud
er, 1t roars, shows it's teeth and lowers
Its ears the movements of the tail in
oreasing all the time.
At the time of charging-that is, at
the height of it's anger-the tail rises In
the air until 1t is almost vertical, the
black tassel continues to move, the ears
are fiattened completely and the ami
NAL comes toward you at a slow trot,
then at a gallop, and finally springs
forward with open mouth and extend
ed claws.
Sometimes 1t shows these various
symptoms without charging, restrained
by prudence, but it never charges with
out showing them. When the tail rises,
the hunter can bring his rifle to the
shoulder and await his opportunity.
In hunting, a man who is on his guard
Is worth four.
A charge is extremely dangerous, al
most always fatal when unexpected,
either because of the dense vegetation
or other causes, but If you see the ami
NAL getting ready fight is useless.
Stand your ground. The only thing to
do is to keep cool and trust in your
weapon. If you have no confidence in
yourself it is prudent to avoid measur-
ing your strength against these anil
mails

Giving a super a Chance.

This is how a super, thus given an
opportunity of distinguishing himself,
once delivered few short lines de-
scriptive of man being picked up aft.
er a cab accident: THE hanson cab
was picked up off the esplanade with
handkerchief tightly tied around its
mouth. When removed, it was found
to be perfectly dead"
Still the manager gave him another
trial the following evening. when he
acquitted himself as follows: "The
esplanade was picked up off the man,
with the hanson cab tightly tied
around his mouth" etc.
He was sent to the back row again,
or maybe farther. This is not an up-
usual sample Of what the average SUI
per can do. Naturally, therefore, man.
ayers look askance at training him.

Italian Babies.

Babies seem to be no trouble in Italy,
and one cannot but be struck by the
number of them. These bambinos are
often hung upon pegs in the front of
the house, where they look out of their
little black, beady eyes like papooses.
I unlocked one Of these babies once
and held 1t awhile. Its back and little
feet were held tightly against strip
Of board so that it was quite stiff
from Its feet to it's shoulders. 1t did
not seem to object or to be at all I'M
comfortable, as it only howled while I
was holding It. have an idea that,
except when invaded by foreigners,
the bambino's existence is quite hap

Thrift.

speaking of thrift" said the promi-
nent clergyman, II remember one man
who was as good an example of
shrewdness as l have ever seen. 1t
was when l began preaching that l
met him. l was young and struggling,
my salary was SMALL and the man was
a member of my church. He used to do
work on a scroll saw, and one of his
specialties was sort of plant stand
with two shelves and with scroll work
ornamentation. Two or three times he
tried to sell me one, but as l had no
need or use for 1t told him so.
'"The time for the annual donation
party drew near, when everything that
was given counted toward that limited
