they mean to be gracious said an art

atoms of i'll nature and not mere mat

ence that made me laugh and yet irri-

''Somebody take one of your snow

NO" replied the artist; this was
not a matter of professional pride. A
tradesman sent me bill in which he
unintentiaIly charged me only about a
third of what owed him.
Thought he stood a better chance
of getting it, 1 suppose, interrupted
the facetious friend.
Now, hold on, Billy, and let me tell
the story. Well, that was the second
time he had sent bill for less than 1
owed. and 1 wrote him note calling
his attention to the error. This morn
ing 1 got a letter from him in which
he thanked me for my honesty A
man may thank you for your courtesy

thanks you for being honest it is an

A walking Fern.

Most ferns are confirmed travellers.
New fern leaves grow out from the I'M
foreground roots some distance away
from the old plant. The average OBJ
server scarcely notices this, but there
is a native fern that steps off at so
lively a pace that its odd habit has
long furnished one of the unceasing
entertainments of the woods. The
walking fern often carpets lodges and
tops of shaded rocks. The slender,
tufted leaf fronds are singularly I'M
fernlike in appearance. They squirm
about and walk by declining their
taper tips to the soil and taking root
there and growing. In time clusters
of new leaf fronds spring from such
rooted tips. BY and by some of these,
too, bite the earth and, taking root,
start still other colonies, which in turn
will continue the progress again and
again. Naturally, with the lapse OF
time. the connection between the older
tufts and the younger becomes broken,
yet one sometimes finds series of three
or four linked together, representing as
many steps in the pretty ramble.-

reverence For the heard.

Former reverence for the beard is
well illustrated by the story told Of
Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded
for denying the supremacy of Henry
VIII. His usual cheerfulness did not
forsake him even on the scaffold.
Help me up" he said to one standing
by; "fOr my coming down let me shift
for myself" AS he laid his head Oh
the block he begged the executioner to
wait a moment while he carefully
placed his beard out of reach of the
ak, for, he said. 'it hath not commit
ted treason" which reminds one of the
story of Simon Lord Lovat, who the
day before his execution on Tower
hill babe the operator who shaved him
be cautious not to cut his throat, as
such an accident would cause disap-
pointment to the gaping crowd on the
morrow-English Magazine.

Atmosphere of cexIon.

When visitors enter Horticultural
hall, in Philadelphia, they pant. The
heavy air, stagnant and warm and
moist, Expresses their lungs. But the
tropical plants in the hall would die
without this kind of air, and a man
said of it the other day: ut is very
much like the air of Ceylon. Ceyion
has just such a heat, and just such u
crushing, Frustrating humidity as this.
Do you know that every European
house out there has among its serv-
ants a clothes airer = man whose
sole duty it is to air and beat the
clothes, which otherwise would be-
come covered with n thick white coat
of mildew in a few hours? l took a
hundred and fifty dollar camera with
me to Ceylon. The dealer had war
ranted the wood to be perfectly sea-
soned, but 1 had not been in the island
week before my camera had warped
and fallen apart. The Ceylonese, in
their horrible climate, are healthy be
cause they eat no meat and drink only
water. "-Philadelphia Record.

TWO CASES OF TYPHus.
story of n Turkish Doctor and a
Modified Prescriptfon.


Mr.. Oscanyan in his book, 'sThe Sui
tan and His People, says that a Turk
ish physician was called to visit man
who was very i'll of typhus fever. The
doctor considered the case hopeless,
but prescribed for the patient and took
his leave. The next day, in passing by,
he inquired of a servant at the door If
his master was dead.
"Deadr' was the reply. 'sNo, he is
much better"
The doctor FASTENED upstairs to OBJ
tain the solution of the miracle.
why" said the convalescent, Il was
consumed with thirst, and l drank a
paiIful of the juice of picked cab
bage."
..WonderfuIr' quoth the doctor, and
out came the tablets, on which he
made this inscription: Cured of ty-
phus fever, Mehemed Agha, an uphol-
sterer, by drinking u pailful of picked
cabbage Juice"
Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, a yaghlikgee, or dealer
in embroidered handkerchiefs, who was
suffering from the same malady. He
forthwith prescribed "a pailful of pic
killed. cabbage juice"
On calling the next day to congratu-
late his patient on his recovery he was
astonished to be told that the man was
dead.
In his bewilderment ut these phe-
nomena he came to the safe conclusion
and duly noted it in his memoranda
that although in cases of typhus fever
picked cabbage juice is an efficient
remedy it is not to be used unless the
patient be by profession an upholster-

few years before and begun house
keeping in a pretty town in southern

have fine patch of ground here that
seems to be going to waste. Why don't
you plant peach trees? They grow
beautifully in this climate"
mo, aunty," replied the young wife;
''the soil is too poor. 1 have tried it.
You remember those canned peaches
you sent me year before last? They
were the finest ever saw-finer than
any that grow here. Well. L saved the

ON SHAKING HANDS.
The Defensive Reason Why tn,
Right was First Used.

The Defensive Reason Why the
Right Was First Used.
Did you ever stop TO think about the
custom of shaking hands and wonder
why 1t is that we always shake the
right hand? Probably you have never
thought about it at all or il you have
you think that the only reason for
using your right hand is that you were
taught not to use your left one, says
the Buffalo Courier. In reality this
custom, now so common, is very an
Gent one, and 1t originated in this way:
In the days when people were not so
peaceable as they now are and when
each man settled his quarrels in his
own way every man carried a sword
or dagger to defend himself. This
sword was worn on the left side, where
the right hand could quickly grasp it
for use in time of peril.
Therefore when 81 man wished to
show that he was friendly he extended
his right hand, which would be clasped
by the others right hand if he, too,
meant peace. Thus each could be sure
that the other would not draw his
sword
With the dawn of more peaceful
times the custom lost its one time pur-
pose, but it still retains its original
meaning-to show friendship.

FAMOUS eooDwooo.
Something About Historic English
Race Course.


The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is a long way from sta
ton and is not near any town, says
tue London Taller. 1t is on a hill the
top of which is shaped like a horse
shoe, the space between the two horns
being represented by a deep ravine.
The course runs round the horseshoe,
the start being at the end of one
horn and the finish at the end of the
other The result of this is that the
equestrians who on other courses con-
trive to see both start and finish by
the simple process of riding across
while the race is in progress cannot
do so at Goodwood They must elect
which they will see and remain there.
On the other hand, the course is very
easy to follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern, but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days of William
Ill. when we hear of the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900, howev-
err. the then Duke of Richmond made
new course, which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order to celebrate
this q regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt and some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes TO the
value OF about $1,000 We're put up.
This meant good sum in those days.
This was the first Goodwood meeting
of Importance, and from that year it
became an annual event.
