An Economical Mother.

Small Katherine, who had been for
hidden to touch the ink bottle, had ac-
c~identally spilled its contents not only
all over her mothers desk, but on the
rug, several chairs and her own apron.
Her mother, on discovering the state Of
affairs, had expressed more surprise
than pleasure. When the father of the
family returned at night his little
daughter met him at the door and
asked:
Papa, how much does a bottle of ink
cost?"
"Oh, about ) cents"
Five cents!" exclaimed the aggrieved
yOungster in Il tone of deep disgust.
"And to think that mamma would
make all that fuss about one little bot
tie of ink!'-Lippincott's.

Ladder Dwarf" said Il former pros
pector. Il never saw the creature my
self, but he is described as lunch
backed, with n short body, large head
and enormously long and powerful
arms. In fact, he resembles an eX-
aggerated gorilla. His favoritc trick
is climbing the ladders by means of
which the miners leave the mines,
raising himself with his long arms,
and as he passes the rungs kicking
them out one by one. lie is supposed
to always do this just before an acci-
dent of some kind in the mine"

WILD ANIMALS.
The DeaIsrs Get Most of Their lions
From Nubia.


Dealers in wild animals get most of
their lions from Nubia. There the ma
tives search for Il lioness with newborn
cubs, kill the mother and bring up the
young beasts on goats milk. When
they are two months old they are taken
TO the coast on the backs of camels and
shipped TO Europe. Lions are also OBJ
tanned from Abyssinia and Senegal.
Formerly the Atlas mountains furnish
ed the finest lions, but the species now
no longer exists except Il few speci-
mems in menagerieS. Adult Nubian
lions are worth $1,000 apiece, while
Senegal lions range in price from $500
TO $3.50.
Tigers vary in price from 1919 TO ST.
500 apiece and more, according to the
variety and rarity of the animal, 81
berian tigers, for instance, sell ut the
latter figure. They are large, beauti-
fully striped creatures. In the winter
they grow n long, woolly winter coat.
Some full grown tigers are captured In
pitfalls, but most specimens of these
animals are caught while small cubs
and raised on milk.
The hippopotamus, the rhinoceros
and the giraffe are difficult to secure.
1t is practically impossible to capture
a full grown beast of these species, and
the young ones are hard TO rear. \
baby hippopotamus will drink thirty
hints of milk n luy and n baby rhi-
noceros almost MS much. Thus it re-
quires the presence of a large herd of
goats in the wilderness TO supply milk
for such creatures. \ hippopotamus Is
worth from $500 to $4,000, n rhinoc-
eros slightly more. while CRATES sell at
$500 or more, according TO size, age
and condition.

Burial by Degrees.

The few old eX-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that OF
burying themselves IN the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not TO pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into n ball
and put into Il bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings of
their nails and any other portions of
their anatomy which become detached,
When the bag is full they bury it. If
asked why they do this they reply
"When me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, so
me bury it now when 1t dead"

Ferdinand Praeger related an Incl

on an ottoman in the drawing room
talking over the events of the years.
Suddenly Wagner, who was sixty
years old. rose and stood on his head
upon the ottoman.
At that moment Wagner's wife en-
tered. Her surprise and alarm caused
her to run to her husband, cXclaiming,
"Ah, Richard, Richard!" Quickly re-

he was sane and wished TO show that

Interest in the situation caused by
the appearance of contagious diseases
has not abated, although the fears
az first aroused have been in a meas
ure abated. With the prompt action
of the authorities and the cooperation
of all citizens, it is thought that the
diphtheria will be confined to the two
children of Peter Friesa of Golconda.

hospital.
Miss Inez Laveago, the attendant
nurse, stated this morning that the
~anti-toxine treatment had been adj
ministered last night, and that both
patients rested well and seemed to be
doing as we'll as could be expected.
Il is hoped the extreme measures of
treatment often. necessary will not
have to be resorted to in either case.
The diphtheria patients are now in
charge of DR. Samuels.
The smallpox patient is said to be
doing nicely, and he will soon be
able to be out. In fact, as stated yes
terday, precaution and extreme care
only require his isolation. He is be-
ing cared for by DR.. Giroux.
1t is the opinion of the physicians
that a few days of fair, warm, sun
shiny days would chase away the few
stray germs of disease that might
be hanging round, but in the mean
time it's just as well perhaps to go
armed with a bottle of f~ormaldehyde,
substituting it for the customary

They will not forget the song.

Ever ready at command;
