Switched the Train.

A certain judge Is much given to
meditating upon his work while walk
ing along the street, and his acquaint-
ances and friends recognize his air Of
abstraction, pass him by with a friend
" nod and never mind If he does not
appear to notice the %salutation. A lit
tie colored newsboy not familiar with
this peculiarly Of the Judge accosted
him one day with persistent appeals:
Buy the mornin' news, boss. Have
a paper, boss"
The judge waved the tiny mite Of hu-
mainly aside and went on distracted

that was to come up that day in the
court to which he was OF the way.
The dusky newsboy was not easily
evaded, and he kept pace with the
Judge, shouting his paper cry at fire.
Quent intervals. At last the judge
stopped and, grabbing his youthful tor
mentor by the shoulder, he said in his
most severe manner:
"How dare you interrupt me when
am following out a line Of argument?
Don't you ever speak to me when I am
pursuing a train Of thought"
The small boy looked up in surprise
and said in a most apologize tone:

A Horses Sense Of Smell.

a horse will leave musty hay un-
touched in his bin, however hungry.
He will not drink Of water objectiona-
BILE to his questioning sniff or FROM
bucket which some odor makes often
sive, however thirsty. His intelligent
nostril will widen, culver and query
over the daintiest bit offered by the
fairest Of hands, with coaXings that
would make a mortal shut his eyes and
swallow a m%outhful at a gulp. A mare
is never satisfied by either sight or
whinny that her colt is really her own
until she has a certified nasal proof Of
the fact. A blind horse, now living,
will not allow the approach Of any
stranger without showing signs Of an
ger not safely to be disregarded. The
distinction is evidently made by his
sense Of smell and at a considerable
distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will
gallop wildly about a pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The
sense of smell informs them Of its prox-
unity. Others will, when loosened from
the stable, go direct to the gate or bars
opened to their accustomed feeding
grounds and when desiring to return,
after hours Of careless wandering, will
distinguish one outlet and patiently
await it's opening.-St. James Gazette.

Oil of RattIeRnakes.

In Pennsylvania the oil Of rattle
snakes is preserved most carefully as a
liniment especially good for sore Joints
and for rheumatism. In procuring the
oil the dead snake is nailed head and
tail to a board and cut open. The fat
is taken out and laid upon q cloth In
the hot sun, from which the filtered oil
drips into a jar. From fear that the
reptile may have bitten itself the clear
oil is tested by dropping a portion Of 1t
into milk. If it floats in n globule, 1t
is regarded as unaffected; II, on the
other hand, it breaks into beads ana
curdles the milk, it is judged to be pol
sonous and thrown away.

Am ohntacle to PIetx.

A story told by a western congress
man is about two brothers, Ed and
Jim. who dealt in wool at their home
in Iowa. Jim went to a revival meet
ing (unthinkingly, the congressman
says and "got religion" In his first
burst Of enthusiasm he told his brother
OF how much better he felt since his
conversion and urged Ed to come into
the fold. The latter pondered gravely
for a time and then said: "Ain't any
doubt but what religions a good thing,
and I'm glad you've got it. Jim, but l
guess you better let me alone just
now" he continued refectively. you
see, Jim, one Of US has got to weigh the
wool"

"A Mystic Volume.

A good story is told of the Russian
police, who are very careful lest any
literature Of an atheistic character
shall fall into the hands Of the peas
ants.
A peasant in the province Of Minsk
went to q publishers shop and asked
for a Bible. Unwittngly the shopman
gave him an algebra primer.
On opening the book when he reach
ed home, the peasant was surprised to
find it full Of mystic signs and hero
glyphics. The peasant showed it to a
policeman, who felt convinced that the
signs were Of an Extremely freethink-
ing character" and so arrested the
owner.
At the trial the peasant was dis
charged, and the policeman, instead or
being rewarded for his religious zeal,
was reprimanded.

Don't Oyerdraw Your Account In h
Bank Of Nature.
You have a deposit Of nervous energy
placed to your account in the bank Of
your body. 1t may be large, in which
happy case you are a millionaire In
strength and accomplishing power, or
1t may be so microscopic as to need
careful outstanding and little expenGi-
ture to keep it from dwindling out al
together.
But many millionaires become pau
pers, and some dime savings" swell
Into millions. 1t depends upon the way
the capital is managed. You may
think you have so much that there is
no need to be economical. You get up
In the morning and feel the blood
bounding through your veins like noun
tain cataracts, and you think you can
turn the mill wheels Of the world.
You work day and night or you play
day and night, which is sometimes
more exhausting, and go at the limit Of
your speed all the time. You are over
drawing your bank account of energy,
and that n~eedlessly, for you probably
have enough to last a long and useful
lifetime. 1t pays to sit down and sharp
en- your tools, and it adds cent per cent
to your body bank deposit.
Another with not half your brains
o hustle will get ahead Of you In the
end, for he makes every act, every
thought, go straight to the mark. He
wastes no effort. Everything he does
means something. It helps toward some
given end. You spend a great deal Of
ammunition On your quarry because
you are oyeranxious. He keeps cool.

You get wrinkles and frost tipped

Sneed of Racing Camels.

The racing camel is very carefully bred
and valuable prizes are offered by a
racing society at Biskra for the deetest
racer. q y Pearson's Magazine. have
cen the start Of a race and it remind
ed me, in a farof sort of way. OF a
horse race. The camels were all ar
ranged in line and they shifted the air
in their anxiety to be off. A flag was
waved and they set off at a terrible
pace as If they were only racing for a
short distance. They kept together
until they were almost out OF signt.
Then they seemed to settle down TO
their habitual pace and the race pro-
ceeded with long intervals between
the competitors. 1 have also seen the
finish of a camel race, and it reminded
me of the first motor car promenade
between London and Brighton. The
camels were certainly not so broken
down and bedraggled, but they came
in at intervals OF several hours and
great patience was necessary to watch
them arrive.

The Slip That Doomed Major Andre
and Saved West Point.
At Tarrytown there is 8 monument
surmounted by a bronze figure ever on
duty that marks the spot where on
Sept. %, 1880, a man sprarg, as it
were, out Of the ground, seized the bril-
die of the travellers horse and at the
same instant demanded a halt. Two
other men joined the first, and to these
three the traveller offered the authority
for John Anderson to pass on public
business and signed by the major gen
eral commanding West Point.
For one moment the pass sufhced.
Then there was doubt. In that moment
Of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon a coat that n Of the men wore
which he had obtained while q prisoner
not long before, and, recognizing the
garb Of the Hessian soldiers attached
to the British army, the traveller con-
cluded hastily that r" had fallen
among friends instead Of foes. Il see
you belong to the army down below, as
I do" he remarked, with a slight ges~
ture Of the head toward the river.
Fatal words! They sealed the doom
Of Adjutant Major General John An
Dire Of the British army. He was
quickly dismounted and searched with
out result, and still there was delay.
Some latent sense Of required vigilance
melted these humble militiamen to re-
newed search of the travellers person.
West Point was saved.

A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The Story the Croupiers Tell OF h
Wandering Jew.

The Story the Croupiers Tell OF h
Wandering jew.
All gamblers are superstitious, and
some of their pet superstitions are now
so old as to have acquired the respec-
liability Of venerable traditions. The
croupiers Of Monte Carlo have an in
teresting set Of traditional supersh-
tons Of their own, most Of which are
entirely unknown to the many thou
sands Of visitors who toy. with the
tiger in that gilded court Of chance.
The most striking Of these Is the
story Of the Wandering Jew, which the
croupiers believe as fervently as they
do that the bank will down any "sys-
tenn" that ever was invented There
is one day. and n day only. In the
year on which the rooms Of the casino
at Monte Carlo are closed-that Is on
Good Friday. When the rooms are
opened on the following day, they say,
the FIRST person to enter the Grand
Nouvelle Sale de Jeur" is an old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no Jm6, Out. "dlhluS Suo1SAS " SNS
of the tables, he places with the trem-
bling fingers of extreme old age a
piece Of money upon q certain number.
The wheel is turned, the croupier's ma
sal cry falls upon the ear, announcing
that the number selected by the old
mar has won. With a bitterly savage
exclamation the aged man seizes his
winnings. throws them about him and
hurries from the room to disappear, no
one knows where.
He is the Wandering Jew, and until
he can lose a bet at Monte Carlo he
must continue his wanderings. Get on
the ssblind side of any Of the old o
piers Of Monte Carlo. and they will tell
you this legend. Have they seen him?
OF course they have and are fully per-
shaded that the aged and mysterious
stranger is none other than the man
condemned to perpetual earthly wan
derings nearly 1000 years ago.

and yet a lion and lioness will often be
