Rhodes and Emperor William.

Cecil Rhodes once was conversing
with Emperor William in regard to an
agreement entered into between the
German government and himself
about the construction of the Cape-to-
Cairo telegraph line through German
territory in Africa. The emperor

are satisfied with the arrangement .

a clause in this document which pro-
vides that while your majesty under

attacks or injury Cecil Rhodes has tic

defense. Now, sir, there is nothing
in the clause to prevent you from
sending whole army corps for this
purpose, and if I had to pay for that
I should have to file my petition. .
The kaiser laughed and said, "Quite
right" and turning to Count Won BIZ
low, who was present, said: add
words limiting Mr. Rhodes liability to
$4,000. That's fair, think" TIC
which Rhodes replied that he was per-
fectly satisfied.

Troubles of Young Housewives.

A young housewife, from upstate
who had been recently married, called
upon one of her neighpors in an apart
ment house day or two ago looking
for information, says the New York
Post. She saluted her neighbor with
How do you kill crabs?" What on
earth are you talking about?" well,

them. l have been trying to drown

Another young married woman
from one Of the suburbs of Boston,
came to live in New York. One after

at tea, when the husband of one
dropped in. She knew very we'll that
he did not care for tea, and thought
her husband might not like it if she
did not give him something to drink.
She asked him if he would have some
whisky, and on his replying in the af
firmative, left the room. After
somewhat long absence, she returned
with a bottle in each hand, saying:
Il can't find the whisky but here is
some 'Cog-nac' and some Baltimore
rye. Will either of these do?"

Painting on Human Skin.

Marcus lorenzo, an Italian paint.
er, who f1ourished in the last century,
once paid 200 francs for a piece of
human skin no larger than a dinner
plate upon which to execute a land
scape in oils. The skin, which was
chemically prepared to receive the
paint, was taken from the back Of al
aged woman, whose body had been
sold to a medical man for dissecting
experiments. The human parchment
was drawn tightly over metal frame
and the artist spent nearly seven
months in producing painting that
was afterward exhibited in various sa-
Ions, and ultimately realized the sum
Of $4,000 francs.

BIRD OF GUATEMALA
It Is the Quetzal, and Is Said to Prefer
Death to Captivity.

The republic of Guatemala deco
rates it's coat of arms, its stamps and
it's Official documents with the pic
ture of a beautiful parrot. The bird is
Of a rich green color, with tufted head
and a long tail, which frequently
grows to a length of four or five feet.
The Guatemalans are very proud of
their national bird, and have written
many songs and poems about it. The
parrot was selected for the national
emblem because it was found very
hard to catch, and because tradition
says that when once imprisoned it
always kills itself rather than Semain
in captivity. s+gtf.ea ter.e... Ef
The quetzal lives in the widest
parts Of the mountains, and never
visits the ineighborhood of the towns
or cities. The only parrots ever
brought out of the forests ore caught
by the native Indians.
The parrots are too wary to be
caught IN a trap. The Indians first
watch the parrot sometimes for days
at time, until they discover their
haunts. Then they smear the limbs
of surrounding trees with thick glue.
The parrot perches on the sticky
limb, and is held fast.
No parrot has ever been brought
from it's forest home alive. They
struggle desperately when caught,
and when they find they cannot es-
cape they kill themselves, SO it is de
clared.
The natives say that the birds al
ways commit suicide in the same way,
by pecking at their breasts until the
jugular vein is exposed. But no one
has ever succeeded in keeping speci-
men alive in captivity-New York

TEARS OF BENEFIT TO The EYES
)ne's Sight Is Clearer After a Copiors
Flow of the Salty Liquid. -qH

Tears do not weaken the sight, but
improve it. They act as tonic on the
muscular vision, keeping the eye soft
and linpid, and it will be noticed that
women in whose eyes sympathetic
tears gather quickly have brighter,
tenderer orbs than others. When the
pupils are hard and cold the world at

IS a mere figure OF speech, implying
the lack Of balmy tears that are to the
cornea what salye is to the skin or
nourishment to the blood.
The reason some women weep more
easily than others, and still more
readily than the sterner six, has not
its difference in the strength of the
tear gland, but in the possession of a
more delicate nerve system. The
nerve fbers about the glands vibrate
more easily, causing downpour from

SO sensitive to emotion; their sym
pathetic nature-the term is used in
a medical sense-is less developed,
and the eye is therefore protected

should thank the formation off, his

scorns tears as a woman's practice. ]

Snail Eating in England.

The statement at a meeting of the
British branch OF the Church pastoral
aid society that poverty drives girls
to collect and eat snails as food is
based on a misunderstanding. Among

esteemed as dainty and nourishing

known as wall fish"
