Preferred Hogs to Land.

They tell a good one on a prominent
real estate man of Waurika Some
time ago he carried prospector over
on Beaver creek to show him certain
claim. He told the man that it was
an exceptionally fine claim, that the
land did not overflow and that he
would cell it to him for $4,000. The
man looked around and discovered
some red mud way up in a tree and
asked the real estate man what caused
that mud in the tree tops if the land
did not overflow. The agent promptly
replied that there was a kind of hog
raised over in the Chickasaw country
which used to range on the creek and
that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospectOr took a look over the
land, glanced up in the tree again and
told the Waurika man that he wouldn't
take the claim, but he would give him
$4,000 for couple of those hogs

A Useful Coffin.

A writer in an English church maga-
zine once found in a colliers cottage
in Staffordshire a coffin used as
bread and cheese cupboard. Notwith-
standing his wife's remonstrance, he
told the story of the coffin as follows:
Eighteen years ago 1 ordered that
coffin. The wife and me used to have
good many words. One day she said,
I'll niver be content till 1 see thee in
thy coffin Well. lass,' said, If that
III content thee it II soon be DONE
Next day 1 gave directions to have
the thing made. In few days 1t
came home, to the wife's horror. 1 got
into it and said, Now, lass, are thee
contentP She began to cry and want
ed the horrid thing taken away But
that l wouldn't allow. In the end she
got accustomed to seein' it, and, as we
wanted to turn it to some use, we had
some shelves put in and made it into
bread and cheese cupboard. We have
niver quarreled since it came"

The Name Moses.

1t is a curious fact, unknown per-
haps to a majority of readers, that
Moses of Scriptural fame was called
by eight different names in various
places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh-
ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be-
cause she drew him oct of the water.
Jochebed, his mother, called him Jeku-
'hiel, saying, 81 had hoped for him"
Miriam. his sister, called him Jared
because she had descended after him
into the water to see what his end
would be. Aaron called his brother
Abb Zanuch because his father had de-
serted their mother. Amram, the ia
ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother of the lad
Kehath, the grandfather of Moses,
called him Abigdor because God had
repaired the breach In the house of
Jacob. The nurse of the grandfather
of Moses called him Abb Socho because
he was once hidden three months in
the Tabernacle. All Israel called him
Shemaiah because Gin his days God
heard their cries and rescued them
from their oppressors."

An Irish Duel.

The annals of the Emerald Isle bris-
tie with incidents of dueling in which
Irish humor, if not at all times Irish
bravery, is conspicuous. On one oc-
casion Sir Jonah Darlington fought a
duel with q barrister named McNally
The latter had one leg shorter than the
other and because it was his habit
when in a hurry to take two humping
steps with the short leg to bring up the
space made by the long one he was
nicknamed zone Pound Two" McNal
ly could get no one of his bar to fight
him, and so he challenged harrington
who good naturedly exchanged shots
in the Phoenix park.
The baronet hit his opponent in the
braces, then called the "gallows,'' and
feared he had killed him. When the
result was made known, one of the
seconds shouted, MAC, you are the
only rogue ever knew who was saved
by the gallows."

Frederick the Great.

In the course of some military evolu-
tions Frederick the Great of Prussia,
irritated by some mistake of captain.
ran after him with his stick in order to
strike him. The captain ran away.
The next morning the commanding of
ficer reported to the king that the Off
Ger in question, one of the most eff
cient in the regiment, had sent in his
papers. 'Tell him to come to me-
said the king. The officer, in great
perturbation, came. "Good morning,
major" he apostrophizHd the officer,
who was speechless with surprise. 81
wanted to tell you of your promotion,
but you ran so fast could not catch
YOU up. Good morning"
Another time an officer attempted to
get comrade into bad odor with the
king by telling his majesty that he
was drunkard. In a subsequent bat
tie the latter's fitness was conspicuous,
whereas his slanderer played a very
poor part. When afterward he defiled
past the king at the head of his reg
iment, his majesty called out to him in
a voice of thunder, "The sooner you
take to drink the better"

"Three Sheets In the Wind

"What was the origin of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets in the
windT" a landsman asked a sailor the
other day. "Well,'' said the sailor, 'I'll
explain that matter to you. The two
lower corners of a ships sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called a tack
and another called a sheet The tack
is always kept very tight, but the sheet
is loosened according to the wind, and
the looser the sheet is the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail is quite
free, its sheet is said to be in the
wind Now, suppose that all three of
a ships sails were quite free They
would then fly about very crafty, and
the ship would wabble. The course of
the ship would be zigzag one, and the
reason for this would be that she had
three sheets in the wind That, l
guess, is why a man, when he zigzags
in his course, is said to be three sheets
in the wind o."-Philadelphia Rec

The Passions and aHealth.

"The passions effect on the health is
not sufficiently regarded" says a ply
sician in the Philadelphia Record
''The passion which is best for the
health is avarice. 1t keeps one cool,
encourages regular and Industrious
habits, leads to abstemiousness and
makes against all excess. And hence
the avaricious, the misers, live to a
great age. The misers of history were
all noted for their longevity. Rage is
very bad for one. The passion causes
an irregular, Intermittent beating of
the heart, and the intermittency in
time may become chronic. Hatred Gre
ates fever. If we hate, we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us like a flame.
Fear is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain, and therefore we should
never permit ourselves to be afraid.
But the strangest effects of all have
been caused by the passion of grief.
The medical books record cases where,
coming suddenly in a violent shock, it
has caused q loss of blood from the
lungs in one person, paralysis of the
tongue in another and failure of sight
or temporary blindness in third"

slaughter House Byproducts.

Some of the uses of byproducts of
slaughtered animals: The blood is used
for the production Of albumen, the
bones for knife handles, toothbrush
handles, chessmen, etc.; the horns for
combs, backs Of brushes, large buttons,
ETC.; the hoofs for buttons, ornaments
and fertilizers. Meats foot oil, extract
ed from the feet, has a high CONNER
cial value. The fat is used for glycer-
in and butterin. Gelatin, glue, pep
sin and other articles are obtained
from slaughtered cattle and sheep.
The value of such articles made every
year represents many millions of dol
lars.

"silk. That i. Really TIN.

OF course British critics say that the
practice of adulterating silk with tin
originated in Germany. At any rate, it
is common enough now.
All silk is mixed with more or less
foreign matter to give it weight and
stability. Vegetable substances were
formerly used for the purpose. In dye
ing silk the necessary boiling reduces
its weight about one-fourth, taking out
the natural gummy substances. The
weight is sometimes restored with tan
mic acid. Tin is more common-most Of
all in cheap black silks.
Very soft "wash" silks are apt to be
pure. Burn scrap, and nothing re-
mains but ash. A tin weighted scrap
when carefully burned leaves a resi-
dunn like excessively fine wire gauze.

A Delicate Job That the Thief Could

We have cut society too much on til,

fun of doing hard job prettily. This
is the second turn I've made. The first
was like this: saw n rich, fat man in
a crowd, and l noticed that his watch
was hung in a new way, hard to break.
My fingers itched, not for the watch,
but to break 1t off. 1 moved up, lifted
the watch, walked away with it and
then went back and hung the thing on
the chain again. This second time
something like that. 1 saw delicate
job, tried it, got the watch, and just
then the fellow happened to look for
the time. He 'hollered.' and detective
near by pinched me. 1 don't think I'm

the excitement of stealing. Clure's.

The Word seFudee.s

Where did that very common word
fudge come from, and what does it
really mean? The appearance of the
word in literature is In the description
of the call of Lady Blarney and Miss
Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia Skeggs on
the vicar of Wakefeld's household:
But previously l should have mention
ed the very impolite behavior of Mr..
Burchell, who, during his discourse, sat
with his face turned to the fire and at
the conclusion of every sentence would
FRY out 'Fudger an expression which
iispleased us all and in some measure
1ampened the rising spirit of the con-
verSation." Does the word come from
the provincial French ''fuche" or the
low German ''futsch?' Or shall we
trace it to the story of 100 quoted by
the elder Disraeli, There was, sir, in
our times one Captain Fudge, who al
ways brought home his owners a good
cargo of lies, so much that now aboard
the ship the sailors, when they hear a
great lie told. cry out, You fudge itr"

The EARLY Circus.

Leaving out of count the great cir
cuses of Rome and Antioch and coming
down to something of modern times,
the first circus in England was on a
footpath known as Halfpenny Hatch,
in the Waterloo road, London. There,
in ITO, Astley's first performance was
given, with the aid of drum, two flies
and one clown. A charge of sixpence
was made for the front standing places
There was no building and not even a
tent, but merely a ring of ropes and
stakes. Primitive as were the arrange
ments Ashley soon attracted good au-
diences and was able to add to his
programme conjuring, transparencies
vaulting and tumbling, with displays
of fireworks. In course of time he was
able to hire an inclosed ground and
erected seats under a substantial roof
He called the place Astley's Amphi-
theater Riding house.

Fish That Cannot swim.

More than one species of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sin
gular of which perhaps is the maltha,
Brazilian fish, whose organs of loco
motion only enable it to crawlior walk
or hop, after the manner of a toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears resemblance, and it is provided
with long upturned snout. The an
terror (pectoraD fins of the maltha,
which are quite small, are not capable
of acting on the water, but can only
move backward and forward. Both
these and the ventral and anal fins are
very different from the similar fins in
other fishes and could not serve for
swimming at all.
Other examples of nonswimming
fishes include the sea horse, another
most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of
the sea, which resembles the knight in
set of chessmen, and the ,starfish.

Robins.

American robins build plaster and
dry grass nests in the crotches Of trees,
while the. little English bird of the
same name, only about half as big as
its cousin in America, makes a soft
moss nest on the ground. It's breast is
a yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter
than the American bird, and it sings
even more sweetly, but it is of small
value as an insect destroyer. The
American robin, on the other hand,
has much duller, quieter coat, a more
extended vocabulary, sounding many
distinct notes of warning, fear, joy,
ETC., but not in so sweet a song, and is
an inveterate worm and insect hunter
With only occasional lapses into vege-
tarianism, at strawberry and cherry
ripe time, the American robin is really
one of the most Industrious allies the
farmer can have.

The Derivation of Gibraltar.

In III A. D. the Arabs crossed the
narrow strait Of Gibraltar and estab-
lished themselves around the famous
rock whose name is derived from their
leader. Field Marshal Tarik was one
of the leaders of the Arab invasion of
Spain. Gebel is an Arabic word mean
ing mountain. The great rock, which
was by far the most conspicuous OBJ
ject along the shores of the strait, was
accordingly named after Tarik, Gebel
el Tarik, or the mountain of Tarik. 1t is
easy to see how this name became
changed into its present form, Gibral-
tar.

The Cranberry.

The value of the cranberry as a me-
dicinal agent was early recognized by
the American aborigines, who prepared
poultices from them to extract the ven
ON from poisoned arrows. On the same
principle they are used now as q rem
edy for erysipelas, taken internally or
applied as poultice. in malarial and
typhoid conditions the acid of the fruit
is specially commended. while dyspep-
tics who lack gastric juice are also of
fered cranberries. Eaten raw they are
said to be an excellent remedy for bill
iousness. AS a health food cranber-
ries should not be strained, as too much
of their substance is lost.

Sugar Making In 100.

The historian Lafittall, the period of
whose observation dated back to
17OO-05, describes how in March the
Indians make transverse incisions with
their hatchets, from which tricl1les an
abundance of water, which they after
ward boil over a fire. He says the
sugar thus made has nearly always a
burned taste, but that the French
make it better than the Indian women,
from whom they learned how to make
1t. Bossu, writing in 1855, is equally
explicit as to the source of sugar max
ing.

amount, for polite reasons, is seldom
departed from, even by the rich. The
wedding day is invariably Thursday,

is distinguished by a different cere-
