Trying a Donkey.

A newcomer In Africa has many
surprises. A. b. Lloyd, the author Of
dwarf Land and Cannibal Country"
narrates an amusing little experience
of his own in purchasing a donkey in
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
means an easy task. OF cors Sc each
one had to be tried, as we were to use
them for riding purposes, and in the
course Of the work we had various ex-
periences. l had set my mind upon a
fine female donkey and took her out
for an afternoons ride. 1 shall not
forget 1t. At first when mounted her
she would not move, In spite Of all
my most tender persuasions, and final
ly she began to back.
Now, the streets of Zanzibar are very
narrow. and coming up behind me was
a large bullock wagon. My sweet tenn
pered donkey backed right on to the
horns Of the bullocks. Then 1t was no
longer a case of making her go, but of
making her stop.
Away she few, right along the Naza
Moja road. and nothing / could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact, / soon tired Of trying and let her
90. On she went, right in among the
cocoanut trees, regardless of every
thing until she came to steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense, and l decided to
keen her.

.ern. Devils Turnip Patch.-


On the top Of Bald Eagle mountain,
,ust where the old turnpike breaks
over the brow down into Black Hole
valley, is a queer field OF rock, which
years ago was christened 'The Devils
Turnip Patch" The rocks, which are
of q reddish sandstone, have a striking
regularity Of all standing on end, thus
forming a jagged, irregular surface,
that won for 1t Its queer name from
the early settlers.
In bygone days. when the stages
wheeled their way up from Northum-
berland to Wiliiamsport, the four In
hands traversed the old pike that skirts
the turnip patch, and the strange gar
den of rocks was constant source of
wonderment to the traveller. Added
to its interest as natural curiosity is
a hidden stream of water somewhere
beneath the standing stones, the noisy
flowing Of which forms a romantic
song beneath ones feet. Nobody
knows where the source of this stream
is, nor can anybody find where 1t emp
ties itself into Black Hole valley.
The rock field covers an area OF two
or three acres, with its widest part to
the north, then narrowing down V
shaped to the south, where the angle
is lost in a fringe Of stunted hemlocks
and elders. Theorists have figured on
the cause Of this mountain freak, but
the theory obtaining most credence is
that 1t is a legaly Of the glacial age,
the rocks being a collection pushed
into their present vertical position by
the moving ice.-Philadelphia Record.

Knew He Loved Her.

Mrs. Duncan Stewart described Lady
Beaconsfeld as originally a factory
girl. Mr.. Lewis first saw her going to
her factory, beautiful and with bare
feet. He educated her and married
her, died and left her very rich, and
then she married Disraell. When ask
ed why she married her second hus-
band, she would say, as if it was q
feather In her cap, "My dear, he made
love to me while my first husband was
alive, and therefore l knew that he
really loved me-" - Augustus J. q
