Handy With Texts.

James Whitcomb Riley told a story
Of an old fellow who asked for work at
the Riley farm in the poets boyhood.
He was set at hoeing potatoes. but did
not prove to be especially Industrious.
When taken to task for his lack of APP
plication he only replied, WAL, the

Grafton" "Well it came on dinner
time at last" says the humorist, land
the old codger did his share nobly. In
fact, he ate enough to Kill two or three
ordinary men. Some one gently limited
that the text didn't seem to apply. He
opened a worn little Bible and imper-
turbably pointed to a passage, 1t read,
Whatsoever thy hand tindeth to do, do
it with all thy might"

The Japanese Baby.

The Japanese baby's head is shaved
in a curious fashion, and never, under
any circumstances. does the mother or
baby wear a hat or bonnet. Nor does
he wear shoes. even in the coolest
weather, but his shaven head and his
pink toes peep out from the mothers
garments, and he rides pickapack.

smiling always and dressed, when he

garments, in the most dainty of kimo-
nos. all embroidered and painted and
decorated with the designs which are
supposed to typify the final trade or
occupation of the infant.

There are no fishes i'll the Dead sea
-no life OF any kind. The percentage
of solids in the water is enormous
about % per cent The principal solid
ingredients are the chlorides Of sod
um, magnesium and calcium. The
deepest part of the Dead seas bed lies
1900 feet below the level OF the Medi-
terranean. Its depth there is 1910 feet.
Oddly enough, it has a cloud system
of its own. for n may frequently see
cloud banks lying over the Dead sea
which are 600 or 700 feet below the
level of the ocean.

The nations future destiny rests
upon the school boys of today. When
we think of the number of pupils en-
rolled in the schools of this county,
we know that the Office of Superin-
tendent of schools Is an office that
should be filed by some one who has
kept up with the modern ways of
teaching. 1t is a fact that methods of
teaching have changed as much or
more than the methods in any other
line in the past ten years.
w. r. Van Walker has been teach
ing for the past eight years, and the
success with which he has met, proves
that he is we'll qualified for the Office
to which he aspires, and his many
friends throughout the county believe
that the voters of the county will
make no mistake by voting for him
at the primaries, October 8.
At the present time he is a citizen
and taxpayer of the county, having
his home at Milbank.

How Crane Mimicked Robson.

When Robson and Crane acted the Comedy of Errors together Mr. Cranes "Dromio' was the most nota- ble feature of the performance for while Robson simply represented him. self in the garb of the Syracuse ser want, Crane gave an excellent exhibi- ton of his mimetic powers by duplicat- ing the "Dromio" of his associate. He thus describes the opening night:
 Tt was one of the most intensely exciting nights l ever experienced be- hind the scenes. In making up, Rob- son dropped a huge daub of grease paint on the front of his tunic. Out of pure consideration for art, painted similarly dirty device on my garment. But Robson nearly destroyed the fine fabric of consistency, to the construc- tion of which had sacrificed the cleanliness of my attire, by walking on absent-mindedly in the second act with smoking cigar protruding from his mouth. Just previous to his en- trance in the first act he acclaimed his speech in the wings, and from this took the key, which had to hold con- stantly in mind. My lines were only partly committed, so that between thinking of Robson's peculiar voice and mannerisms-which I was expect ed to initiate faithIully-and of my own speeches-which should have been delivered with equal fidelity to Shak- speare-I sweltered in body and mind all night-Leslie's Monthly.

Mailed Himself by Post.

The limit of weight for parcel per parcel post in England is eleven pounds. No doubt, then, some reader will be surprised that under certain conditions the postotfice will undertake to safely deliver weights many times in excess of that stated in the regula- tons.
 One day last year a city gentleman called at St Martins le Grand, In Lon don, with the object of consulting a directory and finding the address of a customer who lived in a remote part of Balham. He was not acquainted with the locality and was most anxious to see his customer at once. These facts he mentioned to an obliging clerk be- hind the counter.
 He was at once informed that he could be sent to the required address ''by registered post" at fee of 8 pence mile. The gentleman gladly accepted the offer, and in less than a minute found himself in charge of a smart messenger boy, who very soon guided him by the shortest route to his destination.
 The boy carried in his hand print ed slip with description of his charge under the heading Article required to be delivered" and this he required the gentleman and customer to sign be. fore he left the latter's house.
 It Is probable that very few people are aware of the regulation under which this curious postal transaction was accomplished. It reads thus: "A person may be conducted by express messenger to any address on payment of mileage fee"

Got the Tune All Right.

A new Irish porter was put at work on an English train. The head porter, says Household Words, directed the new man to initiate him closely, and thereby learn his duties.
 When the first train came into the station the head porter shouted, Fer ryhill; change for Hartlepool, Stockton and Middlesborough; change for Spen- nymoor, Coxhoe and Trimdon; keep your seats going north."
 Barney strode after him and shout ed in a louder voice: "Fareyhill; change for Dahore, Umphump, Too talooral, Diderham; change for Cox comb, Morrham, Findham, Goldman; kape your seats where you are."
 The station-master called him aside and showed him the right names on the tiwe-ta ble.
 Barney removed his cap and said po- litely, "Thank you, sor. I got hold of the music, but couldn't catch the words"
