A Tough SfeaIx.

"On the other side Of the Rio
Grande," said traveller, ''meat is
cheap, but the best cuts of Mexican
beef are tougher than rhinoceros hide.
When first went to Mexico, ordered
a tenderloin at n hotel in Durango, but
| couldn't cut it TO save my neck. told
the waiter it wouldn't do, and he re-
moved IL.
presently, however. he returned. ac-
companled by the proprietor of the
hotel, and laid the platter on the table.
What's the matter with the steakY
asked the hotel man In Spanish.
Tough said l. why, l can hardly
stick n fork into it-much less a knife.
milne host tapped it over with the
fiat OF the knife and eyed it obviously.
I'm sorry he said, but it's the best in
the house. At any rate, can't take il
back. It's bent"

Among birds the swan lives TO be
the oldest, I'm extreme cases reaching
200 years. The falcon has been known
TO live 162 years. An eagle died in 1919
which haG been caught l04 years be-
fore and was then quite old. A white
headed vulture. which was caught in
17O6, died in the aviary at Schonbrun,
near Vienna. in 1924. Parrots live more
than century. Water birds have a
long life, exceeding that of several gen.
erations of men. Ravens also live over
hundred years.
In captivity magpies live from twen-
ty to twenty-five years, and still longer
in freedom. The common hen attains
the age of from fifteen TO twenty years.
Doves live ten years and the little sing
ing birds from eight to seventeen years.
The nightlngale's life is the shortest,
ten years being the longest. and next
comes the blackblrd, which never lives
longer than fifteen years.

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTs
A city Forester Names solution
which VIII KIN Pest.

John c. Lewis. city forester Of Phil.
adelphia, said recently that he was pre-
pared to fight the seventeen year To-
Gusts, and as far as the city squares
and parks are concerned he had no
fears for the result.
"As soon ms the locusts appear" he
said. 1--WE will begin TO spray all the
plants and trees in all the squares and
parks with solution Of paris green.
This, II used judiciously, will destroy
the pests.
IL advise all persons who have gar
dens to use the same solution that we
propose to use. Take one pound OF paris
green and dissolve IL in 200 gallons Of
water, or propOrtiOnately, and spray 1t
on all bushes and trees when the To-
Gusts show themselves. A hand syringe
can be used with good results, or a
small air pump used by florists"

putting a quarter Of dollar In my
hand, said: II owe you a quarter, and
there II Is. You hear men say that
never pay my debts, but this with a
chucklel you can deny the slander."
While he lived In Morristown, n. j., II
was said that he pocketed postage
stamps sent to him for his autographs
and these applications were so numer.
Gus that with them he paid his butch
er's bill A bright lady to whom this
story was told declared that the tale
had been denied "on the authority OF
the butcher" Nobody laughed more
heartily at this sally than Harte did
when Il came to his ears.
There is in California a powerful so
ciety known as the Society Of Califor.
MIA Pioneers. II is composed OF argo
nauts who arrived on the coast when
the Bay City was only Yerba Buena a
struggling camp by the shore. The
pioneers were those whose landing an.
tedated the admission OF California tc
statehood. Harte entertained the most
cordial contempt for n class Of ne'er
do weels whose only claim to social
recognition wan their early arrival
The airs OF superiority which these
beats affected was to him a source
OF infinite amusement. One Of the
tribe, with an eye TO a possible inyl.
tation into n nelghboring saloon, ac
costed us on Montgomery street one
day just as Ralston, the money king
passed us with n friendly salute
"Who was thOt sharp faced galootT
asked the pioneer. When we Informed
him who he was, the saturnine aristo
crat of early days commented
Don't know him. | reckon he's one
OF the new fellers. Came in 81, per
haps." Montgomery street, now in the
heart of the city, was on the water
front OF San Francisco in the pioneer
days, and Harte, catching the seedy
aristocrats meaning, asked:
"Are you on, OF the darn fools whC
We're here when the water came up &c
Montgomery street"
Now that his account is closed, we
can afford TO be generous as well as
just with the memory of Bret Harte
His errors were human, and they did
not betoken any moral Obliquity. The
influence OF his work is wholesome ant
inspiring to all humanity. IL will sur
vive when we who criticise It are dust
1t will live TO cheer and enllven Will,
II insidiously promotes the bettermen
of mankind.

STORY OF PAUNCEFOTE.
How Sir Julian became First British
Embnssndor to the United states.

How Sir Julian became First British
Embnssndor TO the United states.
In 1898 the British legation at Wash.
the late Sir Julian Pauncefote became
the first British ambassador TO the
United States and the dean Of the
diplomatic corps at Washington. An
interesting story is told of the manner
In which the latter honor was achieved,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Congress had passed the law allowing
the president TO appoint ambassadors
to foreign countries after the latter had
appointed ambassadors to the United
States. As soon as the diplomatic ap-
preparation bill containing this proviso
became a law there was a race between
Great Britain and France 10 secure the
first ambassador at Washington. The
reason for this was that ii meant that
the diplomat appointed first would be
the dean of the diplomatic corps.
Great Britain announced her inten-
tion first. but France cabled Minister
Patenotre, her minister here then, that
he had been raised to the rank of en-
bassador and that his credentials had
been mailed over. Great Britain was
not to be caught mapping, and, being
advised of what France had done, the
British foreign Office cabled Sir Julian
his credentials as ambassador in full.
These were at once presented to the
state department, and Sir Julian be-
came the ranking ambassador and dean
of the diplomatic corps in which ca
pacity he convened the famous met.
ing of foreign ministers ON April II,
lS0S. to consider the propriety of tax
ing action relative TO the Spanish
American war. The home governments
promptly decided to take no action.

A FORCED SALE.
Frith's Purchase of His own Per-
trait Painted ny Himself.

Here is the astonishing history Of
one Of Frith's own portraits painted By
himself. The celebrated II. A. had en-.
tirely forgotten its existence until a
friend entered his studio one morning
and asserted that capital picture Of
himself was on view In n small shop
In Great Portland street. It's not a
bit like what you are now," observed
the friend, but 1t may have resembled
you some years ago. Go and look at
It."
Mr.. Firth went and found his own
Image after an estrangement of forty
five years. He determined to buy Il,
though he had not the faintest recollec-
ton OF having painted 1t. "Ah, por-
trait" said Firth TO the woman I'm
charge OF the shop after he had pre-
tended to examine several other works
"Whose likeness is thatT That" said
the lady, "ls portrait of the celebrat-
ed artist. Firth. painted by himself"
"Why, he must be an elderly man."
put In the artist. The woman remark
ed that he was young once. "Humph"
quoth the genial w. L. Il. "Not much
OF a picture"
To this the woman demurred and
asked f20 for the canvas. IL was
Frith's turn to appear surprised.
"Well." replied the shopkeeper with
out moving muscle, 1T cost us nearly
as much. We shall make very small
profit. You see 1t is very valuable be-
cause the artist Is deceased" DE
ceased" exclaimed the astonlshed
painter. Dead, do you meanT "Yes,
sir; died Of drink. My husband attend
ed the funeral"
Firth bought the picture. but did not

enjoy the sport in the open air In the
