A pretty Arabian story is told to
this effect: a man was riding upon a
horse of pure blood when he was met
by his enemy, who was also splendid
" mounted. One pursued the other,
and he who gave chase was distanced
by the one who fed. Despairing Of
reaching him, the pursuer in anger
shouted out:
81 ask, in the name of God, has your
horse ever worked on land?"
HE has worked on the land for four
days"
VERY well; mine never has. and, by
the beard of the prophet, l am sure to
catch you"
Toward the close of the day the
horse that never labored was the vic
tor, and as the rider of the degraded
horse sank under the blows of his en-,
envy he said:
There has been no blessing upon our
country since we have changed our
coursers lnto beasts of burden and of
tiilage. Has not God made the OK for
the plow, the camel to transport mer-
chandiSe and the horse alone for tie
race? There is nothing gained by
changing the ways of God"

Eccentric Wagon wheel.

A very interesting paradox is the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet when fast
ened on its axle on wagon when the
wagon moves part of the circumference
of the wheel which is in contact with
the ground is for an instant at absolute
rest. while the point directly perpen-
dicular to it is flying along at a high
rate of speed. The two points horizon
tai with the center Of the wheel are
travelling pretty fast, but only half as
fast as the topmost point and as the
up going horizontal point increases in
speed the down going one slows up IN
til it is at rest for a moment when in
contact with the ground. Yet the wheel
Is one solid piece and there are only
two points going at the same rate Of
speed at the same time Yet If the
wheel is taken off the axle and rolled
down an incline every point of the cir
conference moves at the same rate Of
speed.

Marriage Proposals.

1t is bad plan for man to ask a
girl to be his wife on very slight &C
quaintance and still worse plan for
her to accept him under these circum-
stances. If they keep their heads it is
surely not very hard thing for them
to conclude to wait until they know
one another trihe better before they
decide that they are the two persons
out of the whole world who are best
fitted to live each with the other When
they have made this perfectly clear to
their own minds, and not until then.

nounce the fact to the world at large.
And when they are engaged they

Of their position and not seek to eyaaE

Careful of Her Nose.

Many interesting stories of courtlers
and favorites at the old French court
are found in the memoirs of the Mar
quise de Crequy. She says that on GER
tain solemn occasions kings of France
wore ermine Innings to their robes, but
ermine became scarce, and she writes:
''The amounting of Louis XIV. was re-
tarded some years for want of this fur
for the court nantes, and at the coro-
nation of Louis XIV. they actually
used catskin." Superbly elegant was
the Duchesse de la Ferte, who generally
was carried around under a canopy
The marquise goes into ecstasies CON
corning this particular duchesse, whose
eyes "had the most disdainful express
sion l ever saw, though they had
slight cast in them" But her supreme
elegance can be appreciated when it is
known "she never blew her nose for
fear of spelling her Greek contour, but
dabbed it at intervals with small
square of cambria"

When a certain financial panic broke
out the senior editor of trade journal
published in the interests of business
men and Gnanciers was on visit to
a mining town. Fearful lest his junior
in the office at home might give edi-
torial utterance to pessimiStic views
and weaken public confidence still fur
Their, he hastened to a telegraph office
and dispatched a brief message of ad-
vice.
1t happened that the junior partner
on this particular day had just become
the father of a pair of fine twin boys.
While his friends in the office were
congratulating him upon this event a
messenger entered with telegram.
He opened it and read the following
message from the senior partner
Dear George.-Things look blue but they
will brighten up soon. Take a cheerful
view of the situation HIRAM.

As a bevy of laughing girls rose to
get off a street car the other day at a
point where transfers are given they
were followed by demure young wo-
man who had been absorbed in a novel
Just before she alghted she asked the
conductor for transfer, and he, think
ing all the girls We're of one party, gave
her six, which she took without MOTTO
ing and held in her hand as she stood
on the corner waiting for her car the
other girls having gone on walking.
When the reader got her car she took
a seat and was soon lost again in her
novel Then the conductor came up,
and she held out the slips. He took
them, counted them and then looked
around with a puzzled expression.
Where are the others?" he asked.
