A Rain of Ousils

Gross Berskerck in Hungary. was
visited the other day by furious
clonaburst. The inhabitants, who had
ded indoors for shelter, were greatly
astonished at the heavy impact with
which the supposed raindrops struck
the ground. When at last the storm
ceased the people came out. and were
amazed to find the soil literally COW
cred with quails, migratory fight of
which happened to be over the vii
lage when they were caught by the
force of the cloudburst and dashed
to the ground by thousands.
Slept in a Bear Pit.
While returning home late one night
recently the worse for drink, a man
fell into the bears pit at Berne,
Switzerland. Fortunately he fell into
the part reserved for young bears, and
he went to sleep, surrounded by the
animals. On discovering his plight
next morning, he shouted for help
and with the aid of ropes and a ladder
he was drawn up into the street, ap-
parently none the worse for the adj
venture. His sleep might have been
of a. longer duration il he had fallen
a few yards to the left, where the
full-grown animals are confined.

England's Iron Imports.

The large imports of iron ore into
England-about onethird of the total
amount consumed-is not due to any
fear of the exhaustion of the supply
in Great Britain. but to desire to
save the nonphosphorous iron used in
the acid process. There is large, al
most unlimited supply of iron, con-
tanning phosphorus in Scotland and
In The Cleveland and Staffordshire
mines. The imported ore is largely
from Bilboa, Spain.

.celt and German In Amerlc:

Seventy-f1ve per cent of our foreign
born population in 1900 was of leu.
tonic and Celtic stock-the very same
that made the English. OF course, q
still larger percentage of the native
born are of these races and of their
adm1xture. It is an error, then, to
talk OF the American people as con-
glomeration of races. There is an
American race, formed by fusion of

How often have we heard this from
an acquaintance in financial distress:
"Say, old man, can you let me have a
couple of dollars? Ike a blame fool
came off in hurry this morning and

how often have we ''coughed up? The
other day heard Sykes put it that
way to Tykes and Tykes said: "Sorry,
