shameful to whistle in Eurore

Nowhere but in the United
States and England do men and bows
whistle in public with shame" said
traveller the other night who is on
his way around the world for the third
time, I'm France | have heard men
hum on the streets, and in Germany
and Russia | have even heard them
sing, but not even when they are in
toXleated will these foreigners whis-
tie as we do. 1t is odd that we should
have this habit. 1t is common to the
wealthy and high born among us as
well as to the poor and lowly. Only
the other afternoon | saw a Young
man, who aims at exclusiveness and
has valet, whistling Dolly GRAY on
Chestnut street as loud as he could,
Here and there some one smiled slight
ly at him, but he attracted no undue
attention, whereas, had he been in
Paris or in st. Petersburg they would
probably have locked him lsp for a
lunatic. The Japanese and Chinese
never whistle. All those whom have
met do not know how, and they can't
learn. ! have been informed, as mat
ter of fact, that neither the japanese
nor the Chinese language has word
Tor whistling." - Philadelphia Rec

SMALLEST PONY ON EARTH.
Though the Animal Is Seven Months
Old, II Is Only Twenty-Five
Inches High.

The smallest colt in the world Is
owned by G. II. Hackstead, a black
smith living near Ludlow, Ky. 1t
weighs "a pounds and is only 90 inches
tall.
The colt was foaled on a farm near
Fountain Ferry Park Its owner con-
sidered it worthless and sent it to Mr..
Hackstead. At birth it only weighed
about IL pounds, although it was per-
fectly formed. Since that time it has
grown slowly, and for the last two
months there has been almost no
change in its height and weight. II
it stops growing now there is no doubt
that it is the smallest horse in the
world.
The colt is perfectly healthy and is
well formed and strong. Its dam was
a mustang pony of average size and
its sire was good-sized horse. The
cross should have produced a medium
sized horse. The colt is good-tempered
although very frisky. 1t has been
taught to follow its master like dog
and is very affectionate. The freak
has attracted much attention since it
has been on exhibition.

Primitive Telephone in Africa

People often wonder how the ma.
tives in Africa contriyc TO transmit
news with apparently miraculous
rapidity across miles of bush and
desert, The explanation is a simple
one. They use the telephone. The
Sudanese telephone is nothing like
the one in use in European countries.
1t is of two knds-a hollowed-out
elephant tusk of immense size or a
tam-tam. The tusll can be made to
transmit seven distinct notes by
means of a slice of tree bark, which
is placed on the outside of the tusk
at varying distances from the mouth
piece, By means of this instrument
sounds can be heard at n distance
of several miles, and messages are
frequently transmitted as much as
200 miles in single day by these
primitive telephones.-Detroit Free
