A Talking sheep,s Head.

. John Leitch of Rothesay once when
on visit to Dunoon dropped into the
shop of Archie Mains and asked if he
had any good sleeps heads.
"Oh, yes" said Mains, there's as
fine a one as ye ever saw" pointing TO a
black face lying on the floor.
''Are you sure that it is fresh?" said
Mr.. Leitch.
"Quite sure, sir, - replied the butcher.
Its perfectly fresh.''
Thereupon Mr.. Leitch, who was an
admirable ventriloquist, brought from
the sleeps head the rather confounding
ejaculation: "Oh, what a lee! I'm
stinkin.
loot o. my shop, ye leein devil,
exclaimed the butcher. Didn't i kill
We wi my ain hauns this very mornin?"
And, suiting the action to the words,
he kicked the offending sleeps head into
the street.
To carry on the joke, Mr.. Leitch, OBJ
serving a fine OK tongue in the window,
made it apparently say, "Shame on ye,
Archie MainsP' whereupon the amazed
butcher fed precipitately from the shop,
leaving it and all it contained at the
mercy of his waggish tormentor.-Nug-

SHE BETRAYED HERSELF.

Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Mush.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs. Eaughty, but
she is known IN almost every commu-
nifty by other names. She is inclined to
do all she can to make other people be-
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circumstances
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on neighbor and accepted an invitation
TO stay to supper. Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs
Naughty declared with sundry ejacula-
tions that she had never eaten the de-
lightful compound. The steaming plat
ter of mush was set in the center of the
table and bowl of milk placed before
Mrs. Naughty.
"Just help yourself, Mrs. Naughty"
remarked the hostess.
Really, do not know how to be-
gin, B." said Mrs. Naughty as she picked
up her spoon.
Mrs. Naughty made a move, and one
of the children at the table leaned over
TO her mother and whispered:
"She said she never ate mush and
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush. -
That little movement gave Mrs.
Naughty away, for every lover of mush
and milk knows that if the spoon is
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick TO it.-Omaha World Herald.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.

They Likewise Play Cricket. but Not 40
/ cording to Rule.
Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congregate
in large numbers they also indulge in
games of certain kind. Two of these
games seem to resemble cricket and
football.
| The cricket is of a primitive order.
About dozen monkeys stand in a cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea OF circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities of the circle
and stop about 10 yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end OF the circle has cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does
not as you might suppose, WELD full
cane bat. His business is to dodge the
cocoanut which the bowler aims at his
head. The delivery of the ball is ire
mendously fast, full pitched and fraught
with dire results if it touches the
spot. When it does happen to touch
the spot-that is, any part of the mon
keys body-that monkey is very much
out and doesn't even stop to dispute the
question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when a majority of mon
keys lay nursing their wounds under
the friendly shade of neighboring
palm.
The football is of a more advanced
type. 1t is also played with a cocoanut.
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly
the "socker" game and is played with
the feet. OF course there is no goal nor
any tactics TO speak of, the object of
each animal being to keep the bail to
himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game of "foot-
err" and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and
making off, but the game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes
the prize.
No mention is made of a referee, but
If there is one about, like a wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up
tree. Times.

READER. did you ever stop TO

thousands of dollars paid out OF the

We said at that time tn at the money

Just Like Ewes Apple.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark OF
Ewes teeth is one Of the many botani-
cal curiosities Of Ceylon. The tree on
which it grows is known by the sgnifi-
cant name of "the forbidden fruit" or
Ewes apple tree"
The blossom has very pleasant
scent, but the really remarkable fea-
ture Of the tree, the one to which 1t
owes its name. Is the fruit. 1t Is beau
tiful and hangs from the tree in pc
culiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep Grim
son within, each fruit has the appear
ance of having had piece bitten out
Of 1t. This fact, together with its poi
sonous quality. led the Mohammedans
to represent 1t as the forbidden fruit Of
the garden Of Eden and to warn men
against its noxious properties.
The mark upon the fruit Is attribl.. I'd
to Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not
also leave its mark is not known, but
as only one piece seems to be missing
its loss is ascrhed to the woman.-

stock MARKET Tiys.

Does 1t ever occur to those who fol-
low journalistic tips on the stock mar
ket that they are written by men who
find it worth their while to follow an
arduous and moderately remuncrated
profession and that therefore the tip
stcr obviously cannot trust to his tips
for Il livelisood? =
Is it conceivable that any one whose
Judgment of the movements of securi-
ties was sufficiently trustworthy to
make even the majority of his shots
bulseyes would waste his time by
compiling paragraphs for newspapers?
Would he not rather spend half an
hour or SO in the morning at the end
Of telephone instructng his broker
to buy and sell and devote the rest of
his day to til" graceful consumption of
the hnund'ess fortune that his knowl
edge and arumen would. ex hypothesi,
inevitably provide?
And tips from stockholders come un-
der the same suspicion, for 1t Is not
reasonable to suppose that one who
really had tips worth following in his
possession would utilize them as bats
for clients who reward his efforts with
n beggarly half crown per cent.-Corn-
