"Nearly every sailor when the blues

of his nameless grave and OF the anxt-

turn and no news ONE of him, and
therefore he buys himself an identif-
cation or corpse ring.
"Some of these rings are costly,
beautiful, strange. Here is an antique
Egyptian one, a ring OF green bronze
from a riied tomb. Here is n wooden
one, carved with little demons, for the

TWO GREAT LEADERS

Disrae1i and Gladstone and Their
Enmity Toward Each Other.
Disraell wit was too much for Glad
stone. The great Liberal had but one
adjective for his Tory opponent, and
that was ~'devilish." Never during the
years OF their opposing leadership had
the two any social relations. Each
made light of the others literary ef-
forts. Some one asked Lord Beacons-
field to define the difference between
a misfortune and q calamity, and un-
hesitatingly 1T came. "If Mr.. Gladstone
should fall into the Thames, 1t would
be a misfortune. If n one should
pull him out, it would be Il calamity"
The best of all the Gladstone-D israeli
stories tells how once at a London din
ner party the ladies at the table were
asked which they would marry IL they
a to marry one or the other, the
great Liberal Or The great Tory. All
declared promptly in favor of Beacons-
field save one, who fastened to explain
that she had rather we'd Gladstone that
she might elope with Disraeli and so
break her husbands heart. This hap
pening was of course retold to Disraeli,
II so pleased was he over 1t that he

In 4 party of locomotive engineers

IL old timer who had come to his
death through Jump fever" whats
jump fever2'" inquired an outsider
who was interested In the converse.
tion. "Jump fever" explained an en-
gineer, SIS a sort of hallucination that
affects some engineers and leads them
to leap from the cab to escape n sup
posed impending collision. It's mostly
freight engineers that are affected. On
long runs out west Il freight engineer
may be thlrty-siS hours at the throttle
without much chance for rest owing to
mishaps. lie gets sleepy and dozes In
the cab. All of n sudden he wakes up,
but his faculties are scattered, and
what with lightncss OF the head and
the motion of the cab he gets an idea
that n collision is about to happen. In
Il semlconScious state he dives out Of
his window, end the chances are he's a
goner when lie lands. The engineer we
referred to had lone the trick twice,
but he was killed the third time ont on

The Fear Horses Have OF CanieIs end
Cattle cS Dogs.
I'm some towns they won't let us
show" said the circus animal trainer,
unless we have no camels with us.
Camels are n serious drawback to
shows. Horses are so much afraid Of
them that lots of towns won't let q
camel enter their gates.
"a horse won't go near q piece Of
ground Il camel has stood on. The
very smell of n camel in the air will
make a horse tremble and sweat, and
this Tear isn't only found occasionally
I'm n horse here and there. 1t Is found
In every horse all over the world.
Queer, isn't it? L often wonder why Il
Is. Cattle hate dogs in the same way,
and cats bate dogs SO too. Here,
though, we can account for the hatred.
Dogs In primitive times fed on cattle,
nc doubt. and even today here and
there they kill and feed on kittens.
Horses love dogs. Pm sure 1 don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals but
pumas and lcopards. You can take q
dog up to q lions or q tigers cage, and
he will show no fear, but take him up
to the cage of n puma or Il leopard and
he will tremble and moan and stink
away out of sight.

Central African EIeph.nts.

elephants in the swamp country Of

they can always be traced by the white

stars seem to swing around it once in

But the pole star OF Polaris is not n
very bright one, and it would be hard
to identity but for the help of the so
called pointers in the big Dipper," or
Great Bear" The outer rim Of the
dipper points nearly to Polaris, at n
distance cqaal to three times the space
that separates the two stars of the
dipper's outer side. Various Indians
called the pole star the Home Star"
