Like a Lady.

A little girl from an East End slum was
invited with others to a charity dinner
given at a great house in the West End
of London, says Spare Moments. In the
course of the meal the little maiden start
led her hostess by propounding the query:
docs your husband drink"
why. no." replied the astonished lady
of the house.
After a moments pause the miniature
querist preceded with the equally be-
wildering question:
'How much coal do you burn2 What is
your husbands salary? Has he any bad
habits?"
BY this time the presiding genius of
the table felt called upon to ask her hum
BILE guest what made her ask such strange
questions.
well" was the innocent reply, moth
er told me to behave like a lady. and
when ladies call at our house they al
ways ask mother those questions"

Wisdom of the Owl.
From the Detroit Journal.

fTOn the DelTOll JOuFndi.
He always thinks the parrot talks too
much,
The nightingale is overprone to song,
He doesn't like canary birds and such,
And the mavis morning melody is
OF praise this grouchy bird
viii never speak word,
Nor any need of kindness will he ever in
stitute:
He's a sombre, sulky fowl,
Is our silent friend, the owl,
And his mission in this universe is Just
to boot his boot.
The sun may coax an anthem from the
lark.
The giddy thrush may bubble forth in
Joy,
But the owl prefers his broodings in the
dark.
And such untimely rhapsodies annoy.
His head he hides away
In the wholesome light OF day.
But his solitary musings bear a bitter
sort of fruit,
For he blinks his yellow eyes
And he looks amazing wise,
Then separates his features just to boot
a bilious boot

The moon thrusts silver fingers through
the trees,
But his owlshlp only knows the grass is
damp
And that the tout ensemble doesn't

He warns his pal the bat
This ice cream soda weather isn't quite

1t Hoodoos His Razor.

''I cannot account for it," said an old
barber in one of the largest shops, accord
ing to the New York correspondence of
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but a razor
with which I have shaved a dead man is
never good for anything else.
II have tried again and again to make
it do the regular work of the shop, but
it will never do it. cannot keep an edge
ION it and it will never do good job. The
last time / made the trial the man put
up his hand for me to stop. What's the
matter with that razor?' he asked. It's
edge is like ice and it sends cold chills
down my back. I don't know I said.
The last man / used 1t on didn't make
any objection He didn't?' NO, sir; he
was a dead man up on Fifty-third street.
Then the man just looked at me, washed
the lather from his face, left the shop,
and has never come back"
What do you do now?'' 1 asked.
Keep one razor for that class. Every
time 1 use it 1t does better work than
before. But it never comes out of its case
in this shop No, sir, it doesn't"

To Rival Russia's Road.

An English engineer proposes to con-
meet Alexandria, Egypt, with Shang
hal China, by means of a railroad. The
road, about 6,400 miles long, will have
three divisions The middle one of 81
125 miles, is already in existence in In
dia From Alexandria the road will run
east-southeast over the Isthmus of
Sinai to Akaba, the north end of the
Bay of Akaba; from there almost due
east to Kurveit and Bassarah; thence
through southern Persia to the frontier
through Baluchistan, and across that
state, which is under the English pro-
tectorate to connect with the India
railroad net. From Kunlong, the east
ern terminus of the Indian railroad sys-
tenn, the line would extend. via Talifu.
Yunnan, Hankow and other points on
the Yangtze to Shanghai. This would
be a southern line paralleling roughly
the transsiberian road and competing
with it. Its political character would
be likely to attract much attention.

were primitive trinkets and other orna-

AS for the Turkhana women, they were
so deadly frightened when they saw Cap
tain Wellsby and his men that it was
plain they thought their last hour had
come. But by his kindness, and making
some little present to them each time he
encountered them the captain eventually
overcame their fears, and by degrees the
Turkhana women, Susceptibl elike all their

lost the despairing look which had over
spread their faces when they first saw

Once. when the captain came upon a
party of TurkhanaS, the savage giants
sprang to their feet and gazed at him in
profound establishment, making no sign
either of hostility terror.
Then. all of a sudden, without any Wis
ibIe cause, they turned and fled, leaving
everything behind them but their spears.
Somehow these gentle giants seem to
have overcome their fear of white men.
