Max O'ReII's Adder.

During his tour through Australia
many years ago death was once close
upon Max O'Rell, as it seemed to him
at the time. Lying in bed one night in
a bush hostelry, worried by mosquitoes
and thinking Of the snakes against
which he had been warned, he became
aware Of the presence alongside of him
Of cold, treacherous snake, probably
death adder, as it was only about
three feet long. Death from the bite
of this playful adder is rapid and pain
less, and the Frenchman recorded aft
erWard his reflection that it was bet
ter perhaps to die that way than by
govt or rheumatism. After an hour Of
agony, however. he slipped out Of bed,
struck light and went about the room
searching for the walking stick he had
carried especially for defense against
reptiles. After a weary and nervous
hunt he found it at last among the dis
ordered bedclothes.

Artist and Naturalist.

A dull boy came to the Adelphi art
school in Brooklyn. His train Of
thought was so peculiar that Professor
Whitaker, who for more than a quar-
ter of century has been engaged in
developing Broklynites to be artistic,
gave up all hope with that boy.
''Did you ever see mans foot with
six toes.?" said Professor Whitaker,
irritably glancing at the drawing board
on which the young man had been try
ing to draw foot.
Don't know as / did," drawled the
boy.
''Then why do you draw that foot
with six toes?" said the professor,
more irritated than ever
Because your old cast of foot has
six toes,' said the boy. An examina-
ton proved this to be fact.
THAT boy is successful artist
now" said Professor Whitaker, land
his success in life came from drawing
just what he saw. If / could get boys
who would draw six toes on foot if
six toes showed on the cast, I would
turn out more artists"

An old Iowa practitioner, a lawyer of
ability and an orator of known reputa-
ton, was pitted against recent grad
uate in the profession in the trial of a
case before a jury. The young lawyer
had the first say, and in making his
address to the jury he took particular
pains to initiate certain mannerisms Of
the older lawyer. He carefully ADJUST
ed his cuffs before beginning his argu-
ment, stroked an imaginary imperial
on his chin and then rested the index
finger of his right hand along the side
of his nose. These were the habitual
preliminary mannerisms of the older
lawyer, and as they were repeated
several times throughout the argument
which was made by the young man
they provoked the jury and judge to
laughter.
When the veteran arose to make re-
ply he did not neglect to go through
his preliminary motions with even
more deliberation and precision than
usual. He bowed to the judge and to
the jury and then began:
Gentlemen of the jury and your
honorable sir, that young man acts like
a good lawyer. but he talks like a
blamed fool"
The advantage which the young man
Thought he had gained in the contest
vanished in the roar of laughter which
followed al bis expense.

Mark of the Poker Player.

'"That man is poker player" said
the elevated road ticket seller after he
had pushed bit Of pasteboard
through the window to hurried man
carrying a suit case There's a great
deal to be learned from the way a pas
senger lays down his fare. Take that
chap who just dropped his ticket into
the choppers box. He paid for one
ticket with a quarter, getting four
nickels in change. The thing that gave
him away was the way he laid down
his coin. The average man slaps his
nicked down and let's it lie. This man
held his nickel curved in the first joint
of his fOrefnger and tossed it gently
toward me across the counter with
reverse English'-tne trick of a pok-
er player who can flip coin upon a
table and make it settle to the frac-
ton of an inch. He didn't take the
nickel that way Intentionally. It's

BRUTES GIVEN TO DRINK.
Many Animals Become Intoxicated
on Natures Beverages.


on Natures Beverages.
Although it has often been said when
speaking of drunkenness that even the
beasts of the field do not get drunk it
is nevertheless a fact that great
many animals do get intoxicated.
Take the elephant, for instance. He is
particularly fond of the fruit of the
unganu tree, and although he appears
to have some idea that it is not good
for him he will go on eating when he
has once begun until he is wildly ex-
cited and so intoxicated that he will
stagger from side to side. Every now
and then he will pull himself up, shake
his huge head and tear madly through
the forest, trumpeting at the top Of his
voice and terrifying every living crea-
ture. 1t is said that he will even dare
and defy his most dreaded enemy, the
tiger. when in this condition, but we
have no means of verifying this. It is
well known, however, that an elephant
is in most dangerous condition when
suffering from the effects of eating
this beautiful fruit, and all who can
take care to keep out of his way as
much as possible.
The sloth bear is another animal
given to this failing. The natives Of
India are in the habit of hanging little
vessels on the palm trees for the pur-
pose Of catching the juice. This juice
is so attractive to the slOth bear that,
although such poor climber he will
scramble up and go on drinking the
Juice until he is SO drunk that he can
only slip helplessly to the ground and
lie there in drunken stupor until the
effects have passed off.
But the sloth bear is not the only
animal who is so partial to this juice
of the palm tree. The curious fruit Tor
fox bats Family pteropodida) are par
ticularly fond of it. This peculiar little
combination of beast and bird, with it's
>foxlike face, reddish, furry body and
black, uncanny looking wings, the deli
cate membrane Of which is always
quivering down to the very tips, will
fly to these vessels in company with
some hundreds of his companions and
they will suck the juice until t1e
ground below the tree will be dark
with the bodies Of these bats, who will
lie there too helplessly intoxicated to
move or defend themselves no matter
what may turn up.
The biggest drunkard of all is per-
haps the palm civet. So addicted is
this animal to the drinking habit that
he has been termed the toddy cat. And
a more helpless, foolish looking crea-
ture than he is when he is thoroughly
intoxicated with the palm juice it
would be difficult to find. There are
many other animals given to this fail
ing, but all those 1 have spoken Of live
in India, and it may be that the heat
which induces extreme thirst, fire.
quent excuse among men, is the direct
cause of it.-Collier's Weekly.

THE AGILE OSPREY.
A Hungry Bird and a Tragedy Of q
Trout Stream.

A big brown and white bird came
wings stretched far out to right and
left. He flew slowly, for he was look
ing for Notwithstanding that he
wanted very much. He Was doing his
family marketing. Up in the top of
big pine tree mile away his wife was
sitting on nest full of eggs, and it
was both his duty and his pleasure to
find supper for her. Suddenly he
stopped short. He had caught sight of
the thing for which he was searching
a dusky, shadowy shape, with an out
line like that of a submarine torpedo
boat, lying mOveleSs in the clear water.
For just an instant he seemed to hang
poised in the air, but it was only long
enough to change the direction Of his
motion; then down he went with a
rush and swoop.
The brook trout saw him coming and
tried to dart away, but it was too late.
With mighty splash the osprey
struck the stream and went clear I'M
der and out Of sight, while the water
boiled and surged over him. He could
not see for the commotion about him,
but his aim had been true, and his out
stretched feet touched slippery,
Shiny, wriggling body that was just
beginning to gather Roadway.
Quicker than a wink his toes closed
about it and his sharp talons sank
deep into the trout's flesh. Then up he
came, rising out of the stream like
some tabled monster of old and shak-
ing the water from his feathers in
shower Of flying drops. Every thread
of muscle in his wings and breast was
working with all it's might to lift that
heavy trout. Up went the birds great
pinions till they were straight above
him; then down they came, lashing the
air like whips. Up again and down, up
and down, up and down, harder and
faster and fiercer, and little by little
he and his victim rose from the stream
till at last they were clear of the tree
tops, then straight away to the nest
in the old pine, where the wife was
waiting to make them both welcome

The Travels of a Jewel.

Fanny Kemble when in the United
States years ago was prosecuted by the
attentions of wealthy lunatic. When
finally rejected by her he flung pack
age upon the table, eXclaiming, "Well
at least take this!' and disappeared
The parcel proved to contain very
beautiful jewel. The actress was moi
long permitted to retain it. She saw
no more of her prosecutor, but did not
remain under any sense OF obligation
to him. The gem was stolen from her
before she quilted the United States
She forgot all about it in the course OF
the years that followed. A very long
time afterward she was in Italy. A
peddler displayed the contents of his
pack before her at Sorrento. There lay
the long lost jewel. Through whose
hands it had passed there was nothing
to show.

Curious Habit In a Dog.

A certain Pomeranian has most eX-
traordinary habit at mealtimes which
appears worth recording. This behav-
ior is the prelude to only one kind of
food-i e., bread and milk. 1t consists
in first wiping the nose smartly to and
fro on the flannel on which the dog
lies, and this is repeated between each
mouthful. To such an extent is this
eccentricity carried that she refuses
this kind of food altogether if there is
no flannel to wipe her nose on. The
curious part of the whole episode is
that there is none of this wiping with
bread sopped in gravy. 1t seems to be
suggested by some irritation peculiar
to warm milk-LOndOn Times.

until mixture whitens, then drop quick

calm politeness:
II am sorry to have troubled you.

many who appeal to you even on the

with certain grace and dignity which
brought an indulgent smile to the Sec

An Irishman's Mistake.

Lord Shocks regiment was ordered
to India; but before he went he gave
orders to local builder to erect a
wall around a certain ruined castle on
his Irish estate, which was being
picked to pieces by excursionists.
Then he went to India, feeling that,
whatever happened, his ruin at least
was secure.
After long years he returned, and
10! the wall stood as he had ordered it.;
but the historic castle had vanished
even as a beautiful dream.
where, oh, where is my beautiful
ruin?' he demanded of the man to
whom he had intrusted the wall con-
tract.

name that tumble-down shanty that
used to be here? Sure, 1 pulled it
down, and built the wall wild the

Trajan's Floating Palace.

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanus, the
Trajan Of Roman biography and one
of Romes most renowned emperors,
constructed or was responsible for the
construction of three Of the most re-
markable works of the early years of
the Christian era-Trajan's column,
Trajan's wall and Trajan's floating
palace History is full of accounts
concerning the two former, but the last
seems to have been pretty generally
overlooked by the early as we'll as the
later cleaners of rare and curious in
formation. The monk Dartemius, who
mentions it in his "Ecclesiasto," says
that it was constructed and purposely
sunken in Lake Nemi, an arch tunnel
allowing communication with the
shore. In this case it would certainly
have gone into history as '"Trajan's
sunken palace instead Of floating
palace"
It is generally believed, Bartemius to
the contrary, that it was originally an
imperial palace intended for the use Of
the emperor and his family during their
summer excursions on Lake Nemi.
Another faction of antiquarians are of
the opinion that it was not built dur
ing the lifetime of Trajan. SOuthwick
says that it was sunk in the year 1876
A. d., seventy-eight years after the
death of the emperor for which it was
named. March,, who explored it in a
diving suit on July Is, 1886, declared it
to be in a good state of preservation;
also that it was 500 feet long, 270 feet
in breadth and 60 feet deep.
