A merry peal of laughter greeted this
sally, for the speaker, May Wilding,
was favorite with the girls as well
as men. Her auditors were a group of
! young women who had arrived that
day for visit with their college class
mate, Gertie Manders.

"Oh, what do you carry that with

the innocent weapon which her small

she was packing her trunk

"One never knows" said May, with
pout and shrug of her shoulders,

Curiosittes of super,t,tton.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
mistress of the land and sea-" her
people worshiped a black bull There
was some discrimination, however,
even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object Of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with circular white spot in the exact
center of his forehead, and the advent
Of such creature in any herd was the
signal of wild demonstrations from the
Mediterranean to the border of the Ly-
bian desert. Even as late as the time
of Cleopatra. ''star eyed goddess, glori-
GUS sorceress of the Nile" such animals
were shod with gold and had their
horns tipped with the same metal
Herodotus tells of man who died with
grief because he sold COW that soon
after became the mother of black
bull calf marked with the sacred white
circle in his forehead.

ne Got His Tip.

He was tiny little fellow, surely not
more than five years old, and as he
called for his afternoon papers at the
corner of Twelfth and Market streets
many people gazed at him with mingled
amusement and pity. He had long
brown curls, wet with the drenching
rain, and his shrill little voice had a
baby lisp. A very stout. elderly WON
an. apparently weighing close to 200
pounds, paused at the south side of
Market street and looked askance at
the miniature river of water and at the
passing procession of wagons and troll
ley cars.
The little newsboy was quick to size
up the situation. Running up to her, he
exclaimed: Don't be afraid, lady. I'll
help you across" Reaching up his tiny
little hand. he clutched her by the arm.
and together the ridiculous pair thread
ed their way to the opposite curb. Then
the stout woman opened her purse,
gravely handed the little fellow a coin
and disappeared into the Reading ter

Animals and Salt.

Among certain people there is a
strong idea that nothing is worse for
dogs than salt, but as a matter of fact,
when administered in small quantities,
it materially assists the process of di-
gestion. There is no doubt, however,
that to give dogs or any other animals
broth or pot liquor in which salt pork
or bacon has been boiled would be al
most equivalent to giving them small
dose Of poison. The use of salt among
horses, cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs, on the contrary, are extremely
susceptible to the poisonous influence
Of the agent, and experiments have
been made which had. after small
doses regularly administered, fatal re-
Suits Habitually, as matter of course,
all animals consume a certain portion
OF salt, as it exists in certain proper
lions In most articles of food.--London

Comfort In Amictinn-

Director-I called on Ledgerman, our
old Dookkeeper, this morning and
found the poor fellow in very bad
way indeed. He has been Ill a long
while, so learned from his wife. and
s now in state of extreme financial
as well as physical distress. There
was evidence on all sides that both he
and his family are in a condition of
pitiful need.
President-Poor fellow! He has been
in the employ of our bank for score
of years or more and has performed
his duties with unusual honesty and
fidelity.
Director-We can all bear testimony
to that, Pm sure, ana l have no doubt
you will join me in the opinion that
we ought to do something for him.
President-Most assuredly. | will
have meeting of the board. of di-
rectors called at an early day, and we
will have a set of appropriate resolu-
tons passed and presented to him as a
token of our Boston Cou-
ripr
