A Fate Nyonld Have Ii.

Many years ago an Arkansas youth,
on leaving the home of his sweetheart
late at night, received a severe kick as
he stepped out of the door. His below
ed had not responded definitely to his
proposal of marriage, but had assured
him that she would soon let him know
what she could do for him. He, un-
fortunately for two tender hearts, took
the kick for an answer departed for a
far and wild country. Here he brood
ed over his wound and his broken
heart until his beard grew down to
his knees and his nose became Roman.
AS fate would have it, as fate always
has it, he turned up late one sad, sad
evening when the straw-neck hens
were quarreling on the roost and the
brindle COW was lowing mournfully for
her hungry offspring. A young man
some six feet tall met the lonely visi-
tor. 1t was one of seven sons, born,
from time to time, unto his old love.
Explanations followed 1t was not the
girl who kicked him thirty years be-
fore. Oh, no. it was her angry father.
She loved him. 1t was all clear now
He went out to the horse lot cut off
his beard with the sheepshears aud
kicked himself down the hill.

Ths Melancholy Fate Of Cute Littl,

Tip was a cute little yellow and
brown canary, the pride and pet of a
New York family. He was given the
freedom of the sewing room and only

After leading a virtuous life for five
years Tip took to drinking in his Ole

only relief for these alarming par
oxysms was little whiskey and wa

One unfortunate morning Tabby

JOHN PAUL JONES,
American Pirate.


Upon his return to the United States
he spoke of this Outrage" to other
members of Congress, and at the State
Department insisted that PREPARATION
be demanded for this awful insult to
our flag" In short, he raised such a
commotion that the State Department
felt itself compelled to write to Minis
ter Lowell calling his attention to the
matter. Mr.. Lowell turned the letter
over to an attache asking him to look
into the charges therein, and II found
true to see that the matter was salts
factorily settled.
The attache visited the museum on
the following day, and with the aid OF
a candle and the janitor finally found
the skull still innocently reposing in
it's corner. But now, he thought. his
troubles were just beginning; the find
ing of the skull was simple enough
matter but how was he to see that it
should be satisfactorily settled? At
last an idea struck him.
81 say, my good man" he said to the
janitor with some hesitation, Just
how much would you take to-er-lose-
er-this head of Mr.-er-Jones?"
He produced bright shilling from
his pocket and thrust it into the jan
itor's hand. The latter smiled under
standingly, and thus what might have
been an international incident was
closed with economy and dispatch.

Eartll-Eater,s Discovered.

A negro woman employed in the
Capitol at Atlanta has been arrested
for eating some extra fine specimens of
kaolin that were on exhibition in the
rooms of the State Geological Survey
A number of the pieces of clay were
missing and the imprint of teeth werS
found upon some of the other speci-
mems. Detectives at last discovered
that the culprit who was feastlng on
geological exhibits was the colored
scrubwoman, and it was evident that
she had been indulging her strange
appetite for quite a while.
The custom of eating earth is prac-
ticed in widely separated regions, and
is particularly in vogue among negroes
and American Indians, and has even
oeen observed in Europe. The anthro-
biologist Lasch says that German quar-
rymen spread clay on slices of bread
and eat it with evident relish. GER
tain kind of earth that is found in Per-
STA is considered an epicurean dish,
and in the Malay archipelago there is
an earth known as "ampoh, which is
dug by some natives who sell it to the
people as a food. The practice of earth
eating has spread to a considerable ex-
tent in China. New Caledonia and
New Guinea, and Humboldt observed
it in various parts of South America.
Some anthropologists tell us that
among many savage peoples pregnant
women are particularly disposed to the
habit of eating earth and clay. In
Guatemala, during certain religious
ceremonies, the faithful are often seen
to devour statuettes made of clay, and
the practice in that country therefore
is allied to religious superstition. This
barbarous habit of earth eating is
most injurious and is said to often re-
suit in consumption, Inflammation OF

AT THE COST OF A SHILLING

A Threatened International Inciden9
Closed with Economy and Despatch.
There is a story now going the
rounds in London which, if true, shows
that with tactful handling the friend
ship of nations may sometimes be
preserved at the trifing cost of one
shilling An American Congressman
from the far West, who was sightsee-
ing in London during James Russell
Lowell's term as Minister to Great
Britain, one day visited the museum Of
the Royal College of Surgeons. He
viewed the various specimens with ad-
miring interest, and would doubtless
have left the building most favorably
impressed if curiosity had not attract
ed his attention to a certain dust-cov-
cred skull lying uncared for in long
forgotten corner. He adjusted his
glasses and leaned forward to decipher
the faded inscription upon the label.
His patriotic Indignation upon reading
the following can best be imagined:
