"a FABLE.u

Once there was a well-to-do man
who was trying to read his Sunday pa
per at home. Under his window an
Italian with hand organ was playing,
Under the Bamboo Tree" much to the
disgust of the man inside. Finally the
well-to-do-man gave the italian quar-
ter and said, Pass on, please" But
the organ man did not understand ana

TODD man grew warm under the col
lar. Il have it, he said finally. "I'll
buy his darned old organ" By making
signs he conveyed his Intentions to the
Italia and for s11 the organ became his
and he locked it up in the barn.
"Thero," sighed the well-to-do man, Il
have rid myself of that awful noise. "
That was at o'clock. At half past
there were sixteen Italians under his
window playing everything from
Navajo to Nearer My God to Thee.

English is to be in future an optional

being favorably received:
First-Ehglish is the most widely
used civilized language in the world.
Second-It is the most important Ian
guage for Germany's international
trade relations. In Dresden especially
the knowledge of English is of great
advantage to shopkeepers and com.
mercial men, owing to the important
Anglo-American colony there.
Third-English deserves preference

Fourth-English is not inferior to

Fifth-In the teaching of English
the readily learned grammatical forms
of the language enable the time allot

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.

st. Joseph (Mo) News.-William w.
Murphy, locomotive engineer on the
BUrlington's fast express between Han
nibal and st. Joseph, has been MAX
ing observations on the speed of vari-
Gus birds and insects. Many birds
he says, make practice of flying be-
side or in front of his engine. and
when the weather is clear and there
Is no wind he opens the throttle and
races with them. He finds that a
chicken hawk and a crow can make
25 miles an hour. A turkey buzzard
flies at the rate of 81 miles an hour.
The pigeon is one of the fastest birds
In the United States. 1t makes a
speed of 46 miles an hour with ease.
When chased by an eagle it can beat
the Burlington's st. Louis express.
The wild duck is travelling at the rate
OF A miles an hour while the hunter
is pumping the contents of a repeat
ing gun at it. The blackbird. robin,
dove and other small birds travel at
a speed of 3S miles an hour. The
humming bird can, and does, excel a
speed of a mile a minute. Murphy
says that honey bee, the other day.

while he was going at the rate of 63
miles an hour. The performance last

THI6ET HAS QUEER MYTHS.
origin and Constitution of Sun, Moon
and Stars Oddly Explained.

The Thibetans have numberless
strange myths, one the most curious,
pertaining to the sun, moon and stars.
The sun is believed to be an immense
ball of yak-meat and fat, wherein the
spirits of departed ancestors are sup.
posed to feast, the light being caused
by its heated condition.
The stars are portions of this i'm.
mense feast, which, dropping to earth
gives birth to animals for the sus.
tenance of suffering humanity. The
moon is lesser ball of similar tex.
ture as the sun, in use while the larger
one is being replenished for the NOR.
row. When sun or moon fails to ap-
pear in cloudy days and nights it
means that the deities are undergoing
period of fasting and religious abne-
CATION
And the parched and sterile condi.
ton of bleak regions is ascribed to the
fact that many thousand years ago the
sun ball slipped from the hands of its
keepers, descended too near the earth
and, before being recaptured, scorched
those parts with which it came in con.
tact.

Susan 3. Anthony's Heroic Cure.


If there was ever any fad in thera-
peUtics to which Miss Anthony gave
attention, it was the water-cure. She
has the highest regard for the virtues
of cold water as a remedial measure
Many years ago, when once she was
lectUring in Plattsburg, New York, she
happened to get her feet frost-bitten.
She put them under a faucet in the
kitchen to thaw out, which was sue
cessfully accomplished but the next
morning she awoke with a frfghtful
pain in her back. She could scarcely
get out of bed but she insisted on
keeping her lecture engagement that
night. The next day, although she
had to be carried to the sleigh, she
drove seventeen miles with her knees
doubled up to her chin, and lectured
that night. Rising at four the next
morning, she rode ten miles by stage,
and then went by train to Watertown.
At that city she engaged room at
hotel, and took her case in hand. She
instituted measures. that, to say The
least, may be strenuous. She called
for several buckets of ice-water, which
she had a maid pour deliberately over
her back. Then she wrapped up in
hot blankets and went to bed. The
next morning she awoke a well wo-

JAPAN's GOD OF WAR.
Hachiman, Strange to Say, Is Lover
of the Peaceful Dove.

of the Peaceful Dove.
Hachiman, the god of war in Japan,
strange to say, loves a dove, bird
symbolic in the west of peace and
not of war. Go to any temple or
shrine where Hachiman is worship
ped, and you will find a great many
doves cooling either on the roof of the
temple or on the ground below. The
tablet on which the name of the god
is inscribed begins with the Telegraph
of "Hachi," the two strokes of which
are intended to picture a pair of
doves, the female on the right and the
male on the left Doves are Hachi-
mans favorite birds, messengers by
which he sends good tidings of peace
and love.
Hachiman never fights merely to
satiate his thirst for blood. He fights
battles for peace. He never makes
sacrifices of lives so that he may
glory over the conquered. He lis a
great enemy of tyrants and Cypress
ors. He is ever ready to help those
who are oppressed and prosecuted
He fights wars of Justice. He wishes
to see justice done en- all sides. His
