SURELY A GOOD EXPLANATION
To All Who Know the Nature Of That
Kind Of Animal.

An Irish Judge, in consideration OF
the defending counsel being English
and unable to get any results from
his cross-examination of the plaintiff.
who was also of Hiberian descent, un-
dertook the examination himself. The
case was that of an employe who had
brought an action of damages against
his employer for being kicked by one
of the animals in the stable, while
performing his duties.
You say you were very careful in
attending to this horse" said the
judge. "and that you did not prod him
on the legs with the fork, or excite
him in any way; now what reason can
you give for him having Kicked you?"
Because he was a mule, sir" re.

Persian a Difficult Language.

Of the difficulties of the language
of Persia a traveller writes: "The
words one uses in letter are almost
entirely different frc:n those used con-
versationally, and those in an ordinary
prose history are again different. Then
it is almost impossible to distinguish
the lenses; and lastly the adjective
is generally indistiuguishable from the
substantive, and the link between an
adjective and the term which it quail
fies is the same as the sign of the
possessive. For instance, the text,
This is My beloved Son. may be read
in the Persian Bible, This is the Son
Of My beloved without the slightest
violence to the grammar.

Birds Driven Out to Sea.

In the far North, and particularly
along the ocean coast, birds are fre.
quantity storm driven and lose their
bearings, SO that many of them are
lost at sea. They keep floating in the
air, aimlessly striving to live. until
exhaustion compels them to drop into
the waves. which engulf them. There
is q well-authenticated case on record
Of an ocean liner bringing into New
York on a winters day large white
owl which had dropped to one of the
forward spars in an exhausted condi.
ton more than 500 miles off the coast
Of Newfoundland.

Coin That Named Portland.

depended the question whether the
willamette metropolis should be
known as Portland or Boston Twice
the coin turned tails" and the town
was named after Portland, Maine, the

A. l.. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a
member of the party that laid out Port

WELDING COPPER.
It Is a Matter of Personal Skill and
Cannot Be Taught.

A Los Angeles mechanic has redis-
covered the lost art, said to have been
possessed by the ancients, of welding
copper. But from his own description
it would seem that the recovery is
not permanent, and that the secret

manner in which he made the discov-
cry, says the Los Angeles Herald, he
said
Il began five years ago to weld cop
per just as ] weld iron. Copper weld
ing is an art, not science, and ev-
erything lies in the eye, in the ability
to take the metal from the fire at Just

Il have been experimenting in weld
ing processes for over twenty-five
years. and Stree discovered the weld

men. but without success.
"They are unable to distinguish color
variations under fire, which is the one
essential, and which is perfectly sim
pie and easy for me. In this lies the
great trouble in teaching the process,
and this trouble is increased by the
fact that copper is dead metal and
contains no carbon"
1t is very likely that the art among
the ancients was not general, and that
specimens which have been found in
the ruins of ancient cities were the
product of individual craftsmen, WHO
discovered and used it, and it died with
them, for the very reason set forth by

For Lovers Of the Weed.

Those who are rational smokers will
never indulge on an empty stomach;
many seem able to do so with impUni-
ty. but the practice is bad. They will
keep the pipe well cleansed and use
only pure tobacco. Whether smok-
ing a pipe, cigar OF cigarette they
will abstain from using it 10 the last
extremity, because it is the accumu-
lated products of combustion which
form the injurious elements. The ra-
tional smoker will never expectorate
except on occasion when absolutely
compelled, or. if he finds himself fall
ing into this bad habit, being ration
al, he will cease to be a smoker"

Il had also experienced the same
trouble, -but not so violently, and had
relieved 1t, each time, by resort to
medicine.
