A Tussle with English.

The pitfalls of the English tongue to
a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom-
an who has undertaken housekeeping
In New York thought she had good
working knowledge of the language,
but soon discovered her mistake.
One day she called a carpenter and
planned with him to have some work
done about the house In the way of
putting up shelves, etc., and she went
over the ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an estimate
of what 1t would cost.
After the work was done the bill sub
mitted was considerably in excess OF
the sum first named. The Frenchwom-
an endeavored to demonstrate. but only
succeeded in making the following re-
rnarkable statement to him:
You are more dear to me than when
we were first engaged" - New York
Sun.

A well known politician on setting
out for days sport with a friend
pointed to large spaniel which lay
apparently asleep in the hall and bet
his friend a guinea he could not at
tract the dogs attention.
The bet was readily accepted. and
after the failure of shrill whistle and
a blank cartridge to cause the slightest
movement the guinea was delivered
up.
That's my old dog Mahatma | had
stuffed few weeks ago" laughed the
politician, ''and that's the tenth guinea
he's brought me."-London Tit-Bits.

PecuIiarities of Footpaths.

Footpaths are what roads are not,
natural productions, just as the paths
made by hares, deer and elephants are.
No one really makes a footpath-that
is. no one improves it. What is true Of
central Africa is true of England.
1.-THE native paths" wrote Professor
Drummond, "are the same in character
all over Africa. Like the roads of the
old Romans, they run straight on
through everything-ridge and noun
tain and valley-never shying at OBJ.
stacles kor anywhere turning aside to
breathe. Yet within this general
neutrality-suspicious. there is a singu-
lar eccentricity and indirectness in de-
tail Although the African footpath
is. on the whole, bee line, no fifty
yards of it are ever straight. And the
reason is not far to seek.
eff a stone is encountered, no ma
tive will ever think of removing It.
Why should he? 1t is easier to walk
around it. The next man who comes
by will do the same. He knows that a
hundred men are following him. He
looks at the stone moment, and 1t
might be unearthed and tossed aside;
but, no, he holds on his way. 1t would
no more occur to him that that stone
is displaceable object than that fell
spar belongs to the ortnoclase variety.
Generations and generations Of men
have passed that stone, and it still

idea" -Spectator.

Almonds.

The worlds almond crop. exclusive
Of those raised In California and the
west, comes from Italy. Sicily Ma
jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo-
rocco and Algiers. The highly priced
Jordan almonds come from Malaga,
Spain, and not from the Jordan river,
as many people suppose. The common
almond is the most indigestible of all
the nuts and contains very little nour-
ishment. There are many ways, how
ever, in which 1t Is advantageously
used as a desert or as favoring.
One popularity about the almond tree
is that It's leaves contain prussic acid
and are therefore poisonous, while the
fruit may be eaten with impunity.

The Commissioner reports that there was larger
proportion of illteracy among the immigrants of last
year than in the former year. The amount of money
per capita increased from SIG 4o in 1000 to $14 IL in
1901 There was also an increase in the proportion
OF women who came over last year and this the
Commissioner interprets as sign that the families
intend to make their homes here
An important feature of the report is the
OF the Commissioner concerning the lack OF any ade
quate provision of law by which anarchists can be
excluded from the country 1t stated that the var
Gus suggestions which have been made to that end
are either inadequate or are mpractcable The per-
picking factor of the problem is the difficulty of de-
inning what constitutes an anarchist and of determin-
ing what individuals are anarchists This is one OF
the questions Congress will have to deal with this
winter Perhaps it will not be possible to devise a
law that will exclude the REDS altogether. but
something may be done to keep out the bolder and
more dangerous of their agitators

him, nursed him back to health and intro
duced his work to the famous actress
Dejazet, through whom he was first
acted.
Sardou fell in love with and married his
benefactress, whose death, ten years
later. was the one great sorrow Of his life.
Sardou has made more money than any
other dramatist. and he is probably the
only man who ever gave Sarah Bernhard
a shaking.
The incident occurred at a rehearsal
and at a period when the divine Sarah
was less eminent than she is now. They
differed as to the way in which a passage
should be declaimed, and Sardou, losing
his temper, seized the actress by the
shoulder and gave her shaking. She re-
torted by slapping his face, and afterward
challenged him to a duel!

Kangaroo Famine.

There is likely soon to be an exceptional

the success attending the use of the kan
garoo tendon in the hospitals. 1t has been
employed in scores of instances to tie up
the fractured bones Of mans leg, In or
der that he may use his knees while the
bones are knitting together.
kangaroo tendon is as strong as silver
wire. 1t is taken from the tail, and being
animal in It's nature, is absorbed, and the
leg does not have to be cut open, as is
necessary when silver wire is used
The mandibles of the ant are used in
somewhat the same way to stitch up a

each side of the wound with its mandibIes
and bring the edges together. Its BODY
is then nipped off with pair of forceps,
and the mandibles are left In the flesh
