FO.LlNG A HIGHWAYMAN.
The Proper Thing to Do when Intro
duced to IA Hoidup.

man who carries his money and
Ills watch in his left hand will never
lose penny nor timepiece in a hold
up. The preeaution, which is a per-
feet one, is SO simple that few people
have thought of it. Yet it has the
sanction of the police, and its efficacy
has been proved in more than one in
stance.
As soon as the citizen is confronted
by the holdup man he will, If he has
his money and his watch in his hand,
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch. No highway robber has
time enough to stop to look for either.
There is no sense in carrying valuables
in the right hand, because the first
move of every accomplished holdup
man is to grab his victim by the right
arm. This movement is made to pre-
vent the victim from reaching for n
revolver.
The man who tries to draw a re-
yolyer while a holdup man is in front
of him takes his life in his hands. If
a citizen carries a revolver at all he
should carry it in his right hand while
in dangerous street. His money and
his watch should always be in his left
Then after he has thrown them away
and the robber has departed discom.
flied the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simple plan discounts all the re.
yolyers, sword canes, slungshots and
brass knuckles ever invented and has
the added beauty that it can be en-
ployed by n woman as well as by O
man. To throw the purse or the watch
away takes but fraction of a second
and that isn't long.-Chieago Tribune.

A stringed instrument suspended in
favorable position near a pianoforte
will sound when tones corresponding
to the open strings are produced ON the
pianoforte. The volume of the answer
ing tone will depend upon the atmos-
pherie conditions, the quality and color
of the persuading tone and the sensi-
tiyeness of the responding material
There is a familiar anecdote told of n
famous tenor who by singing the tone
that was consonant with that of Il
wineglass could make the glass shiyer
so violently that it would fall to pieces.
1t is because of this tonal sympathy
that the cause of harsh. rattling
tone that may suddenly appear in a
pianoforte is detected with difficulty.
Though It may appear to be in the in
strument, it is often far away and may
come from loose globe or pendant on
a chandelier. Even Il key in door has
been known to be the guilty cause.

The leaves of green plant are chief
ly useful as feeding organs, which util-
ize sunlight in building up plant sub
stance from water, carbonic acid gas
and simple salts. Deciduous forms and
evergreens have been evolved on diff
ferent lines as regards foliage.
On the approach of autumn the for
mer withdraw all nutritious substances
into their trunks and branches. A layer
of cork Is then developed across the
base of each leaf, which afterward
falls off, leaving a neatly covered scar,
which excludes air and germs.
These changes do not take place in
evergreens, for these possess tough,
leathery leaves capable of resisting
frost, which are shed gradually ali the
year round as they become old and eff
fete. Such plants use sunlight year
out, year in, while deciduous trees and
shrubs do during the warm season
only, though they work very vigorous
ly in summer, getting ready the buds
which open the next spring and stor-
ing up starch and the like TO serve as
food till the new leaves are unfolded
and ready for work.

The letter V may be regarded as the
mutilated remains of one of the SYM
bols used by the ancient Egyptians in
their hieroglyphics or picture writing.
A common animal in their country was
the two horned sand viper, a represen-
tation of which stood for V. The
priests ultimately found that for the
practical purposes of everyday life it
was a waste of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented a kind of
shorthand to meet the occasion. In
this the snake was reduced to V with
dash W to represent horns and
body.
The Phmnicians adopted this letter,
and from them we get our V by loss of
the dash. leaving only the two little
horns of the original picture. This
snake is still common in Egypt and is
probably the one mentioned in Genesis
Xix. II. Dan shall be serpent by the
way. an adder in the path, that biteth
the horse heels. so that his rider shall
fall backward" Travellers tell us thai
it is still addicted to this unpleasant
habit.

stiit walkers of France.

In the south Of France stills are a
necessity to the people, who are mostly
shepherds. They must walk ON stilts in
order to oversee their vast flocks of
sheep as well as to pass through the
bogs.
These shepherds-men. women and
children-walk continuously on stills
from six to eight feet high. These
stills are merely fastened to the feet
Sometimes the stills have uprights
reaching as far as the knees and bound
firmly to the legs.
Generally these shepherds and shep-
herdesses carry long poles, which they
can use either as balancing poles or as
supports-very long canes. as it were
reaching TO the ground. They become
SO expert in silt walking that it is no
unusual sight 10 see a shepherdess
striding along on stills that raise her
six feet above the ground. with her
balancing pole strapped to her back
and her hands busily knitting socks for
husband. son or brother.
The complete unconeern with which
these country folk make their way
along on stills is astonishing. One
might almost say that the children
have stills given to them instead of
eradles.-Washingto Star

A story is going the round of the
Missouri press regarding a farmer
who is greatly troubled with absent
mindedness. On the way home from
town, so the story runs, the thought
came to him that he had forgotten
something. He took out his book,
went over every item, checked it off,
and saw that he had made all the pur-
chases he had intended. AS he drove
on he could not put aside the feeling
that there was something missing. He
took out his note book, went over every
item again, but still found no mistake.
He did this several times, but could
not dismiss the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he arriv-
ed at home and drove up to the house,
his daughter came out to meet him,
and, with a look of surprise, asked:
"Why, where is maw?p

John Morley in his life of Gladstone
tells the story of the statesman's ex-
animation for admission to Oxford uni
versity when he was youth. The ex-
aminer, having utterly failed to floor
the candidate on some point of the
ology, said, I'VE will now leave that
part of the subject" mo, sir" replied
the candidate; IF you please, we will
not leave it yet" and proceeded to pour
forth a fresh stream. The dean in Mr..
Gladstone's day was 'Gaisford, famous
among other things for his trenchant
brevity. "Thls laconic gift" observes
Mr.. Morley slyly, "the dean evidently
had not time to transmit to all of his
flock"

A DOG OF UTILITY.
The Pointers Evolution From the
bloodhound Type.

The evolution of the pointer from
What may be described as the blood
hound type to the modern English
foxhound kind has taken, perhaps,
close on $50 years. He is essentially,
above all others, Il dog of utility, and
as the pointer has always been looked
upon as one of the chief helpmates of
the man who loves to take his pleasure
behind well broken brace of dogs, a
pair of barrels and straight powder, it
stands to reason that that man has
called in all his ingenuity and all his
knowledge of breeding to provide him
self with sporting dog that is best
adapted for the sport that is provided
for him. Therefore in some places in
America, where the plains are SO vast,
a very fast and wide ranging pointer
is required-one, too, with bird sense
Where true ranging, a good nose and
stanchness on game are TO be found
embodied in one single dog, there, per-
haps, have we found the perfect ami
mai, and retrieving pointer at that.
As in other breeds of dogs, there are
all sizes and sorts of pointers. The
short headed, cloddy shouldered and
often weak thighed and COW hooked
pointer has gone by the board. 1t
stands to reason that, although the
cart horse can gallop, he cannot gallop
with the thoroughbred, the clean neck
ed, oblique shouldered, deep hammed,
live racing machine. Half a day of
real going will knock up the heavy
headed, loose throated pointer. He has
had to give way to the more elegant
quantity; but even such as he should
not be too small.-Illustrated Sporting
News.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
