and resurrect him the next day for the edifcation of public picnickers.
 As public attraction mere burial and resurrection became common place, so the other night Cooper hyp- notized Morris, then hypnotized a five-foot black snake and buried them in one box at Mozart park, to be dug up next day at the butchers big pie nic. An air pipe was let into the coffin-like box and a guard stationed on the surface.
 Shortly after daylight the guard was reused by muffled cries coming up from the bowels of the earth. He put his ear to the air pipe and Nor ris told him the snake had come from under control and was getting entire ly too friendly. Morris begged to be dug out.
 The guard ran for help and tools. When he got back Morris was hard- ly able to talk. He said the snake was wound about his neck and was choking him to death. Fortunately the earth was soft and Morris was re- leased in few minutes. He was black in the face, the friendly ser pent being thrice wrapped about his neck.
 sCannonball'' had the reptiles head in one hand and the tail in the oth- CT, thus saving his life. He has lost faith in Cooper's power over snakes.

Quaint English Customs.

Everybody may not know that in royal households it is not the GUS tom to relight candle, says the Lons don Onlooker. For however short a time it has been burning, if once ex- tinguished, it is never. used again at least not in the precincts of the palace. Another quaint monarchical custom is that there are always two sets of servants, to insure better service. The one set goes on duty for three weeks, and when that time has expired another set will take their place, so that in the sovereign's s palace there is always one complete retinue at work while their dupli- cates are resting until their three weeks of service come round again.

A brilliant woman whose friend
ship we have enjoyed for forty
years or more once spoke to Us III
terms of warmest admiration con
Corning "the vigorous reticence "
of her father. We knew the old
gentleman very well, and at once
felt that the phrase was accurately
applied to him. He was not surly
nor unsocial. When he desired TO
do SO be could talk with a lucidity
and a force that made him a most
charming companion. But be seem
ed to have an unerriDg instinct for
knowing what ought not to be talk
ed about, and nothing could tempt
him to open his lips either concern
ing improper topics or on improper
occasions. How different from the
idle babbiers who have no privacies
of soul. and whose tongues, once
set agoing, run on forever aud a day
Oh all sorts OF themes until one is
tempted to wish that they might
suffer from a temporary paraIys sis
of the vocal organs. - Nashville

friendship exits only in a name; |
love no one, not even my broth
ers," and many are those who
have cried out with him in their
haste, "All men are mercenary
as well as iars.'' I know man
who thought he had a great many
friends; he was a church member
and fair christian, but he failed
in business, and. he told me after
wards that not single man in
his church held out his hand to
help him, and he said if that was
the kind of friends church people
were he'd none of them, and he's
never been inside of a church
since. A friendship to mean any
thing must be fast and faithful,
existent in foul weather as we'll
as in fair.
heard a man say the other day
of his employer: GIVE worked
for him ten years, and I tell you
ST he's your friend, he'll stay right
by you through thick and thin
what's the kind of friendship we
want nowadays, something that
will stick. To the question
"What is friend?" the London
Tidbits, to my mind, has given
the best answer in these words
ga friend is the first person who
| comes in when the whole world
has gone out.'' Would that all
| our friends were such.-A. b.

True Friendship.

The man who contracts a friend
ship for what there is in it will
fare just about as we'll as he would
in a gold brick confidence game;
he is bound to put in great deal
more than he will ever get out of
it. Friendship is no mere bank
of deposit, you put in so much,
and after while you take out so
much together with the interest
accrued, as likely as not your
bank will go into the hands of a
receiver, and you have your
trouble for your pains. Friend
ship sought with an end, a motive,
an ak to grind, will always prove
failure and disappointment
Friendship is more than this, it is
a matter of the affections and the
heart, and he who attempts to put
it on any other basis is sure to
come out a loser in the end
True it is, modern friendships are
not of the David and Jonathan,
Damon and Pythias type, but they
ought to be. A common idea is
that friendship is a commercial
transaction, a mere matter of bar
ter and trade, a mutual admiration
society, so to speak, run on the
principle, "tickle me Toby, tickle
me too, you tickle me and I'll
tickle YOU" This may go we'll
enough for awhile, but when diff
ferences, and maybe troubles,
come there's a smashup, and the
boasted friendship is no more, it
is even as q tale that is told
Something like this suppose was
what made Bonspaete say: "True

Simplicity.

The love of a man for woman,
OF a woman the love for man,
1t is this that has made life's story
Since ever the world began
So simple it is and SO threadbare
So hackneyed it is and SO old,
The love of a man and woman
And there is our story told!
Yet think of a world where it is not.
A world with no place in its plan
For the love of man for a woman.
And a woman's love for man;
And the light dies out of the heavens,
And its glory is gone from the earth
For the love of a man and a woman
Gives the rest of living its worth!

Here is an item that will prove
of some interest to the farming
community and the raisers of live
stock. During the year 1899 the
total value of mules exported to
all foreign countries was S516, 900,
while during 1900 the figures
reached 100000. Very inter-
esting is the mule census of the
principal American cities. New
Orleans has 3,4O0; st. Louis,
$500; Kansas City, 2,4OO; Phil
adelphia, 1900; Baltimore, 200;
Now York, 600; Chicago, $50;
Boston, 213, and Detroit only 81.
Memphis used to be the great dis
tributing point for mules, but ac-
cording to a recent government
bulletin Louisville has taken pre-
cedenee.
