Goats That Fight.

ruppeli. haunts the rocks of the Abys-
sinian highlands and manages TO hold
its own as 20 flight against all enemies.
with the exception of the feet footed
jackal. an adversary whose co-opera-
tive tactics and keenness of scent make
flight unavailing and have led the ca
pras to the conclusion that under Ger
tain circumstances valor may be the
better part of discretion. The yelp Of
an approaching horde of jackals is
therefore a signal for instant rally on
the part of the goats. The nannies
crowd around their kids. and the bucks
rush forward en- masse. butting away
with a rage that lays out yelper at
every spring and makes the survivors
stand back bowling and covering.

Discovered Baked snun.

A Limerick tobacconist of the name
of Lundyfoot, doing comparatively
small trade, was unfortunate enough
to have his establishment destroyed
by fire. On visiting the ruins next day
he saw some of his poor neighbors
among the debris gathering the half
baked snuff from the canisters which
had not been entirely destroyed by the
fire. He tasted what he considered the
worthless article and to his surprise
found that the heat from the fire had
added pungency and aroma to the snuff.
Profiting by the discovery, the shrewd
Irishman at once set about baking his
snuff in ovens, and the fame of the
Backyard snuff" was established and
an immense fortune soon made by
Lundyfoot, founded upon mere acct
dent and growing out of misfortune.

the London Taller. This is the one
known as Savoy chapel, which pertains
not tc the crown, but to the duchy of
Lancaster. Properly speaking. ii is the
chapel of the Hospital of st. John the

title that is historically correct. A cou-

Thomas Jefferson. Farmer.

Like Washington, jefferson delighted
in farming. 1.-The hope of n nation"
he wrote in his youth, Lies in the till
ers of the SOIL" In his final retirement
at Monticello guest addressed him
tremendously as president Jeffer-
son."
Farmer jefferson" the distinguish
ed statesman interposed. Il would
rather be Farmer Jefferson than to
have all the titles of Europe"
His garden book, covering a period
of half a century, shows the precision
with which he farmed at Monticello.
Here, for example, is an excerpt from
his memoranda for July of one year:
July 1J.-Cucumbers came to table;
planted out celery; sowed patch of peas
for fall; planted snap beans.
July 22.-Had the last dish of our
spring peas.
July 31.-Had Irish potatoes from the
garden.-Leslie' Monthly.

The Glory Of ca1irOrnia scenery.

The Glory Of CALIFORNIA; Scenery.
AS long as there remains the love Of
Beauty in the human soul so long will
the glory of California scenery and
that of the whole Pacific coast prove
a source of inspiration to the poetic
mind. Descriptive verse has been
from the beginning a marked feature
of the literature of this region. In fact
the term landscape poets" may be
properly applied to this bevy of song
birds which seemed to the late Maurice
Thompson to have taken complete
possession of the entire western sea
board" Suffice it to say that if q vol
ume of verse were written by Cali
fornian which reflected nothing of the
states scenic beauty or its warmth of
color it would not only come as a sur
prise to most reviewers, but the loyalty
of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned While all this display of local
color may seem too apparent an effort
on the part of Californians to place up
on their work the stamp of definite
locality, and may be considered by
some q cheap form of art, it is this very
sensitiveness to beauty and grandeur
with which nature has clothed the west
that offers the most promise of its
rapid literary advancement-a sensf-'
tiveness, moreover, that will become
more and more acute with the cultiva-
ton Of the higher faculties through in
creasing educational grOwth-Herbert

MEMORIAL CHRISTIAN

The Sunday school picnic of the
Memorial Christian church is being
held at Longyiew park today and a
merry crowd of people, Old and young,
are spending the day at that beauti-
full resort. The feature of the ocea-
sion is a baseball game between the
married and single men, which is in
progress this afternoon. There has
been considerable rivalry between the
benedicts and the kids" since the
game July 1, in which the latter were
victorious. Since then there has been
vast amount of practicing done on
both sides and the contest today will
be for blood.

All Have an "Itch" In Them.

Speaking of Servian Names" said
an observant man, they are not so
bad when you once get used to them,
nor are they so hard to pronounce.
You no doubt have noticed that all Ser
Wan names end with syllable having
some resemblance to the English word
itch Some of the names end in les
or just with 'ic.' Sometimes it Is ich'
or les or isch.' and so on. 1t makes
no difference how the name ends, you
Will make no mistake If you give the
sound of Itch to the last syllable.
That Will be the proper Servian sound,
for Petrovich or Petrovic would be
correct. and in both instances the word
would be pronounced in the same way.
by sounding the itch Servian names
are all right when one gets used to
them, but they are strange and shock
ing when put into the columns of Eng
