Greyhound Fasteet ouadruped.

A correspondent says that as tho
result of experiments he has made
under careful timing he finds that
the greyhound is the fastest of all
four footed animals. When going
at full gallop, it can cover twenty
yards second, OF about mile in a
minute and twenty-eight seconds, a
speed that comes very near that of
carrier pigeon. There are few
thoroughbred horses that can ex-
ceed nineteen yards second. Grey
hounds have been known to do better
than that by four yards. Fcxhounds
have a record Of four miles in six
and halls minutes, or nearly eight
cen yards q second. This speed is to
some extent an inherited gift, as
wolves can run at the rate Of a mile
in three minutes. Siberian dogs can
travel forty-five miles on ice in five
hours.

What He Was There For.

There is at least one court in the
world, an English midland assizes,
the judge of which is not afraid to
say that black is black. The Bir-
mingham Post gives the following
glimpse of his method OF dealing out
justice;
A respectable looking man was in
the court in the autumn session.
The charge was theft. The aggre-
gate value involved was considera-
bic, and the plea was guilty, but it
was alleged that there were extenu-
ating circumstances.
The defense introduced a medical
expert to testify for the prisoner.
He said that the self confessed thief
had keptomanie.
whats that?" asked the judge
gravely.
tEr-it,s-er-a disease, nv
lore" !" said the astonished expert.
"What kind of disease 7" asked
the judge.
'Well, it's a-er-a mental dis
ease that causes the subject to ap-
propriate property not his own,"
stammered the physician.
makes him steal?' asked the
judge.
:, eyes, my lord, that is generally
'I know the disease" said his
honor, a grim smile in his eyes. sI
know the disease, and I am sent here
to cure it."

A Story Of Moody.

At the time of the great fire in
Chicago Dwight L. Moody was iiy-
ing there and was obliged to aban-
don his home very hurriedly.
1t was too late to think of remc7-
ing any heavy articles, but one thing
Mrs. Moody determined to save, q
portrait Of her husband presented
to him by the artist Healy, A stran-
ger who had entered the room help
ed her to take it down from the
wall. Then the wife called her hus-
band and begged him to save it for
her.
Notwithstanding the horror of
the situation and the increasing ter
Tors Of th , night, the ludicrous side
Of the matter at once appealed to
Mr.. Moody.
sTake my own picture!" said he.
"Well. that would be great joke.
Suppose somebody meets me in the
street and says: Hello, Moody!
Glad you've escaped. What's that
you've saved and are clinging to so
afectionatelyT Would it not sound
well to answer, sOh, I've got my own
portrait p"
No entreaty could move him, but
the canvas was hastily knocked out
of its heavy frame and carried by
Mrs. Moody herself. It was the one
relic rescued from their home

Made Th,naa About Even.

General William T. Sherman was
fond Of relating the following story:
when I was with the army In
Georgia, a slave owner about Christ
mas time missed a fine fat turkey.
He suspected good looking mulat-
to and ordered the man brought be-
fore him. N
"eYou have stolen my turkey and
eaten it, said the irate planter.
"I'ze not gwine to say I didn't
when you says I did, massa.'
"I ought to have you fogged.
What have you to say why I should
not punish your
"sWell, massa, you hain't lost
anything particular. You see, you
has q little less turkey and good deal
more niggeE.'
"And the master was compelled
to acknowledge the philosophy Of
the slave and let him go unwhip-
ped"

The CAUSE or IEAL ousY
Is Thio Passion the Outcome OF Self
consciousness and vanitv3


consciousness and Vanity?
Jealousy we oil know or have
heard Of. In connection with the
sexual passions it plays an enormous
part in the lives Of all nations, but
especially the southern and eastern.
That sort of jealousy seems to need
heat, sunlight, to bring it to per-
lection. But there is another sort,
the jealousy of the artist, that seems
to need nothing but the atmosphere
of the studio, the concert room, the
opera house, and it Immediately be-
gins to flourish with virulence that
Leaves nothing to be desired. Every
one must at some time have asked
himself, Why on earth should art
ists,-poets, good or bad; painters,
musicians, actors-be so fearfully
jealous of one another?
You cannot be poet and live by
your trade. II you are going to live
by poetry, you must be The poet, the
man Of ths day. In painting the
same holds in lesser measure.
More people can live by painting
than by poetry. In military mat
ters also the same is true. A MIN
gets his promotion less through Ills
merit than by being known. In
music composer must be head a1d
shoulders above his fellows befoye
he can earn his daily bread. And in
singing, especially opera singing,
man Or woman must have "name''.
before he or she can consider his or
her position assured.
This struggle for eminence
would alone account for much of
the jealousy Of the operatic profes-
sion, and also, it might be added,
of the actors profession. But has
not the fact of appearing under the
public gaze some connection with
the matter? There are few people
who can be looked at without de-
teriorating. They become self con-
scious, vain, and as soon as vanity
comes in jealousy joins it.-Satur-
day Review.

Treating a sprain.

Skin Ailmanfa

A useful and simple application
for many skin troubles of simple ena-
ture is lotion made by dissolving
dram Of bicarbonate Of soda in an.
ounce of glycerin. This last relieves
itching in marvelously sure fash
ion in many eases. In place Of am
monia, used as remedy in cases Of
insect bites, the juice of raw onion
rubbed on the part is likely to be of
great service in modifying and re-
ieving the pain.

ALWAYS FEEL YOUNG.
People Grow Old by Thinking Ti,en,.
seiveo 60 BE Old,


seiveo 60 Re Old, Ii
People grow old by thinking them
selves old. When they reach tho age
of forty, fifty or sixty, they imagine
that they look like others of the
same age and that they soon will be
useless, unfit for work and unable
to perform their vented duties. "a
surely as they think this it will come
true, for thought is creative. How.
many Of us can say with Job, saThe
thing which ] greatly feared is come
upon me :? @
The time will come when children
will not be allowed to celebrate
their birthday; when they will know
that by thinking themselves young
they will remain young and that
they will cease to grow old when
they cease to believe in old age.
The body is built up of beliefs, and
our convictions are stamped upon
every fiber of our beings. What we
believe, what we think, that we are.
So people who remain young in spir-
it never grow old.
Not one OF hundred students,
of whom the writer was one, under
Oliver Wendell Holmes at Harvard
ever thought of him as an old man.
although he had then passed his
eightieth birthday. His spirit was
so young, and ne was so buoyant, so
fresh and full Of life, that we ALWAYS
thought of Elm as one of ourselves.
His vivacity and joyousness were
contagious. You could not be in his
presence FIVE minutes without feel
ing brighter and better for it. The
genial doctor never practiced med
icine, yet he did more to relieve hu-
man suffering than many practicing
physicians. His presence was a tom
ic. 1t was perpetual delight to be
near him.-Success.

SHAKING HANDS I'M MEXICO.
a Prominent Feature Of the etiquette
OF the Country.

q Prominent Feature Of the Etiquette
OF the Country.
Handshal,ing in Mexico is much
more commonly indulged in than in
Anglo-Saxon countries. Foreigners
resident here for any length of time
inevitably fall into the habit nm.
consciously of shaking hands upon
all occasions, and it becomes SO nat
aral that upon their return to coun-
tries where more distant formalitv
Is observed they are at loss to
KNOW what to do with their hands
and must frequently reflect upon
thelr surroundings in order not to
1eel almost an affront at the nod of
q passing friend or the unceremoni-
guests.
In Mexico friends would not think
OF entering or leaving q house with
out shaking hands not only with
the host and hostess, but ali other
guests who might be present, and
the ladies would kiss each other,
both com'ug and going, on both
cheeks. 3'hey even observe this
formality upon the occasion of
chance meeting on the street or ;n
the car. Gentlemen acquaintance
passing each other on the street
either tip their hats as they would
to lady or at least salute each 9TH
er wrn the hand by touching the
hat or in more Of a military fash
ion.
Gentlemen who are old friends
stop and shake hands and pass the
compliments Of the day, and if they
have not met for some time they
will undoubtedly go through what is
termed the .'bear hug"-put their
arms around each other and pat
each other on the back, one passing
one arm over the shoulder of his
friend, the other under his arm,
while the second party occupies a
reverse position. When this en-
brace is concluded, they shake hands
and tip their hats, at the same time
murmuring the conventional words
OF greeting. Then they are ready to
inquire as to the respective health
OF the members of the two families.
Gentlemen shake hands with
many of their friends both upon
entering and leaving q street car.
The inspector Of the tickets on the
cars will shake hands with num-
Der of his regular passengers every
morning, clerks behind the counters
Of dry goods store Will shake
hands with the customers that they
know, and when the employees of q
store or mercantile establishment
assemble in the morning the formal
greeting Is never omitted. Mexican

Rice and Wheat at Weddings.

Throwing rice and wheat at a
wedding is o relic of an old Roman
custom and has probably been COM
mon,in England since Roman times.
Brand gives several authorities for
it. Friend refers to the case of the
bride of Henry VII. at Bristol in
1486, when wheat was thrown upon
her with the greeting ssWelcome and
good luck I"
Rice is used similarly at weddings
in Intlis., and the substitution Of
this grain for wheat in our own
country of late years may be partly
due to that fact. But where wheat
cannot readily be come at rice would
naturally suggest itself as a snbsti-
tute.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS PLAR7

The Pascagoula Democrat Star
is responsible for the following
bit of information
When a Zuni Indian lover
wants TO propose to his girl he
doesn't have to puzzle his wits
making a speech appropriate to
the occasion, but just walks in,
sits down with his back to his
sweety and divests himself of his
headgear. If the girl doesn't
want him she speaks out, but if
she does she runs her fingers
through his hair, and gives him a
sort of dry shampoo, as it were.
This has its advantages; it re-
lieves the girl from the necessity
of seeming sorry and promising
to be brother to him, and the
fellow from thinking about all the
fool things he said and wanting
to kick himself for being Tilted.
