I'VE picked up new Irishmnn

when him am ME was on the train she
got away on one of them mountain
gradcs, an the first thing we knowcd
She was flyin' down the track MT about
ninety miles un hour with nothin' in
sight but the ditch an the happy hunt
In grounds, when we come to the end.
l twisted 'em down as hard us | could
all along the tops. an then of Il sudden
I see Mike crawlin' along toward the
end of one of the cars on all fours,
with his face the color of milk.
thought he was gcttin' ready to jump.
an sec his finish If he did.
Mike l says, Tor heavens sake
don't jump"
"IIe clamps his fingers OH the rum
min board to give him chance to
turn round an lookin' ut me COLI

Probably there is q lesson in this.
The average Horse understands only Il

confuse Ills horse. The horse Is, made
to know them thoroughly. lie under

When silk Was Precious.

Common as is silk nowadays, in car
lier times it was most precious ma
terial. When 1t was first brought into
Europe, silk commanded three times
its weight in gold, and so valuable was
1t deemed that in the reign of Tiberius
law was passed forbidding 1t to all
save noble ladies and prohibiting men
from wearing it on the ground Of its
effcminacy. So unusual was 1t even
200 years later for man to wear silk
that every historian Of the time Of
IIcliogabalus noted the fact that that
emperor had silk gown. For ages it
continued ut an ;lbnormally high price.
Charlenagnc in the year $50 could
send to King Offa Of Mercia no more
valuable present than two silk coats.

Sept. 8, 1868. But wo have lately come
across some condolences of dates
which, SO far as we know, have not
been noticed before. The number IS
seems to have had fatal influence on

On tho first Saturday night the girl
was ut the farmhouse she was told by

The mistress, on coming into the

them up and threw them into tub Of
water that was standing by and bounc-
cd out of the Kitchen.
The girl said nothing, but when she
had cleaned the other boots she threw
them also into the water.
"Whatevcr possessed you to do that,
