One of the famous Rothschilds was
once entertaining at dinner a distin-
guished party. The dinner went on
admirably. Nothing married the gen
eral enjoyment save the silly loquacity
of one young man. This young man
insisted on monopolizing the conversa-
ton. He insisted on talking about him
self-about his books, his works, his
love affairs. his automobile. Finally
he jumped to his feet
"By Jovew he said. Il must show

And he passed from one guest to an
other, exhibiting the buttons "NIala-

Baron Rothschild watched the young
mans progress with a faint sneer.
When the buttons reached him he
touched them with his finger supercili-

A celebrated doctor in Reims, while
visiting patient and listening to his
troubles, put his hand in his pocket
and mechanically rubbed together some
pastils which were there. Suddenly a
slight explosion took place, and at the
same time the doctor experienced a
sharp pain in his hand. Upon exami-
nation he found that the bottom of his
pocket was burned out and that his
under linen was much scorched, while
one of his fingers was also injured.
He remembered that he had carried
in his pocket for some days two pastils
containing chlorate of potash and one
pastil containing chlorate of sugar.
The last named was broken into little
pieces, While of the potash pastils one
was intact, but no trace could be found
of the other, 1t seems that the doctor
had rubbed the chlorate of potash pas
Ill against the chlorate of sugar pastil
and that at the point of contact small
quantity of explosive powder had been
formed. This had ignited, with the re-
suit that the chlorate of potash pastil
had been instantly decomposed.

The nsrth o. the ovnI.

There is beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate atone
which you have no doubt seen in rings
and bracelets. The story is that the
opal was long ago promised to any
body who could discover it. 1t lay hid
den away. so the old fortune tellers
used to say. at the place where the
sunlight and the moonlight Joined"
each other, and whoever could find
that spot would be rewarded by a
quantity of large beautiful opals. Aft
er a long search for the place where
the sunlight and moonlight joined"
each other the place was found by a
Spanish traveller, who followed up the
rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone up
on the earth, and there he found the
opals. They are said to be very lucky
stones for those who are born in the
fall of the year and very unlucky for
those born in the spring. OF course it
is only saying that these are lucky
or unlucky. but the rest of the story is
true, as you will believe if you look in
the heart of an opal and see the pink
tints of the sun and the blue rays of
the moon nesting in the middle of it.

What They Eat.

Nearly every nation has its own par
ticular form of food, and things which
some races would not, as the express
sion goes, "touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury.
For instance, while the Arab eats his
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
Of fresh dates, the Greenlander georges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means of keeping
warmth In his body. Hindoos will not
touch any form of flesh, but live happi-
ly on rice and rancid butter. An Eng
lishman is supposed to value beef and
bacon above all other articles of food
while the jewellers in the Apennines
live on chestnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors were accustomed to
have peacock served at all great
feasts as one of the principal dainties
while In these days birds nests and
rats form choice dishes in a Chinese
menu.
Some people say that snail soup is
delicious. while the French assure you
that there are few more delicate disht
than those made out Nf frogs legs.

NEW SHORT STORIES
One ON Tom MARSHALL.

Good stories of TOM Marshall are
often heard in the cloaMroons, and,
though sometimes old, they never wear
OF all the genuine goodness. An Ohio
congressman says that on one occasion
Tom Marshall was engaged in a trial
before rather ignorant justice of the
peace. Tom tried to convince the dis
penser of justice and law that he had
made an erroneous decision on a GER
tain point, and for this purpose he cited
authorities from King Solomon all the
way down, piling tome on tome until
the Justice was ready to declare that
he didn't care a darn for all the au-
thorities or Tom Marshall either. After
exhausting himself Marshall said:
"Will your honor please fine me $40
for contempt of courtT
For whatY' asked the astonished
magistrate "You have committed nc
contempt of court"
But" replied the illustrious Tom, II
assure you / have a most internal con,
tempt for it."
And the justice accommodated Tom.

The horse is a logical and therefore
Il teachable animal. Once convince him
of terror is not really dangerous and
he will never shy at it again. Every
year accidents occur because the har-
ness breaks or the vehicle upsets, and
then the horse runs away. But such
accidents are unnecessary. Any horse
can, with little pains, be taught to
hold back carriage by his hind quar-
tiers as well as by the breeding. To
have wheels come off and straps and
other things hitting his legs should be
part of every colts education.-Coun-
