The most curious postOtice in Amer
ica is the one which stands in Beebe
Plain, a town half in Vermont and half
in the province of Quebec, Canada.
The old postOffice was built about sew
enty-fve years ago exactly OH the line
between the United States and Canada,
so that it stands in two countries and
serves in the postal service two ma
tons. The cellar of the building con-
meets the two countries, and some years
ago, when the postOffice was general
store, whisky was known to be sold in
one country and delivered in another
without having gone out from under
the roof of the old structure.
The combination pOStOttice is now be-
ing run by parent and child, the father
being postmaster for Canadian Quebec
and the daughter pOstmistress for Yer
mont Standing in front Of this strang
postOffice is a large post, which marks
the boundary line, and it is said that
one time a man who wanted to get a
roadway to his premises moved this
post, and many thousands Of dollars
and no little time were spent to estab-
lish the exact line again.

A HIGH PRICED AD.
The Bad Bargain That Was Made By
French Dentist.


During a recent festival at Neuilly a
young woman attracted the attention
of large crowd by holding a heavy
bar of iron between her teeth. Among
those who watched her was dentist,
and at the close of her performance Il
luminous idea came to him, and he de-
termined to carry it out.
Going to the young woman, he said:
"MademOiselle, | am dentist, and
therefore | am more impressed with
the wonderful power of your jaws
than any one else. Now, l am about
to make a proposition to you. l will
give you $3.50 if you will write letter
to me saying that you do all this work
by the aid of set of false teeth which
l have manufactured for you"
After some thought the young wo-
man replied: Il will accept your offer
on one condition. You must first give
me as many dollars as | can raise from
the ground with my teeth"
The dentist hesitated moment and
then said that he would give her in
dollars as many % cent pieces as she
could raise. TO this she agreed, and
a few minutes later the dentist was al
most stupefed when he saw her raise
a weight which was equal to that OF
$4,000. 1t was costly advertisement
for the dentist.

CURING A BALXY HORSE.
Simple Methods Mny lie Employed
without Using the whip.

WitnOut Using the whip.
An expert states that the vice OF
baking in lerses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and han
ding of the animal while young, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is only high strung and Ill tenn
pered horses that balk, and these are
handled with more success by humor-
ing and patience than by severe meas
ures, which generally make matters
worse. 1t is almost impossible to fol-
low rules in a case OF this sort. What
will succeed In one case is useless In
another, so that driver must exer-
else good horse sense"-in
handling case.
a very good treatment Is to watch
the animal closely in places where 1t
would be likely to balk, and with the
first sign of stopping the driver should
say whoa" then get off and loosen
or pretend to change the harness in
some way; also take up a foot and tap
the shoe with Il stone. Spend n few
moments leisurely in this way, and in
nine cases out Of ten the animal will
forget its inclination to balk and will
go on at the first bidding. 1t Is also
well to give a lump OF sugar or
handful Of oats or an apple. This will
always produce better results than Sc
we're measures.

Four hitherto unknown tongues, so
Ear as print is concerned, are now be-
ing added to the list Of languages in
which the British and Foreign Bible
society prints the gospels. and Of these
three are for the benefit of subjects Of

TO be turned into Nyanja for the tribes
of the Shire river bank. Nyassaland,
and in this work the LivingstOnia mis-
sion of the United Free Church of

the Myera mission Of the Dutch Re

natives of the Falaba district Of Sierra

Unexpected Success.

There are times when an honest con-
fession Of ignorance results to ones
advantage. An examination OF history
was going on in a high school. The
second row of the scholars looked SUI
premely contented. They knew what
was coming next and were confident
of making brilliant Rotations. The
professor gravely put the question:
"What became of the Greeks who
were slain at Thermopyl@"
The first boy hesitated and then haz-
arded, Burnt 'em."
Next" was the icy answer.
Buried EN-" came from the second
promptly. "Oh, what an easy one"
next"
Don't know" drawled the third boy
hopelessly.
Fright. Nobody does"
The successful one looked surprised;
then he crowed a little. The other
two looked sheepish.-London Tit-Bits.

Divers Madness.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one of the strange effects Of diving is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea. AS
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it is probably due
to the pressure of the air affecting the
lungs and through them the brain. The
exhilaration and good temper OF the
mountain climber are contrary feelings
from an opposite cause. A diver be-
comes so angry at some imaginary
wrongdoing on the part Of those in the
boat above that he gives the signal to
be pulled up, with the intention Of
knocking the heads off the entire crew."
only to forget what he came up for
when the surface is reached.

The Old Surf Bath.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end Of Long
Island and, for aught know, at 9th
err points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun-
died down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line OF
breakers. Old fishhouses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those Of
last years village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy x-whaler or life crew man in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles slipped his waist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
life line and, wading out, kept 1t as
taut as circumstances permitted, while
the women and children hung to 1t and
reveled and wallowed and shrieked,
rejoicing In their Saturday tub
Outing.

logical course at the Hartford semi

termined upon at the time when the
article was written. In the autumn of
1903 these two will be joined by two
more Yale men. One of these will be
the Rev. Harlan z. Beach, rs, and
the other is still to be selected. Mr..
Beach will be the director in China Of
the mission. He has already served in
that country as a missionary for eight
years and therefore already knows his

decide upon the actual site of the Yale
settlement in the far east. 1t seems
to be determined that this site shall
be in north China in the region where

R,sbon wb,ppIe,s Cathedral.

The tower of Bishop Whipple's cathe-
dral, at Faribault, Mimi, is now about
half finished. The tower is called the
Bishops tower and was begun in his
honor, gifts for its erection coming
from this country and foreign lands.
The names Of the givers are preserved
in parchment in illuminated text. and
already the book has grown TO fair
proportions. Treasured as it is to be
in this tower, it will show to genera
tons yet unborn by its remarkable list
of names the place which the founder
Of the diocese Of Minnesota held in the
hearts Of many peoples. Distinguished
and titled names are followed by the
humblest, and close upon the names Of
the archbshops of Canterbury and
York, the bishops Of London. Winches-

says that the soldiers Of Japan, who are
entirely vegetarian, have far more en-
durance than European troops and
that this was abundantly evidenced
during the recent military operations
in China. The diet of the Japanese
soldier is entirely composed of barley,
rice and beans. On one occasion he
knew a company OF men to trOt a dis
lance of twenty-five miles daily in the
heat of the sun and bearing load Of
176 pounds. After the expiration of
fourteen days one of the men had
gained a pound in weight. He then

on the ideas of public safety and the
