WYLE'S ISLAND STATUE.
Antique Specimen of Sculpture in
Wiltshire, Eng, That Has
Eazy History.

English people cling to their tradi-
tions and antiquities long after they
have ceased to possess any definite in
terest. One of the curios of Wiltshire
is a statue in the middle of a river at
Wyle. says the New York Herald. Upon
a pedestal near bridge is statue OF
the conductor of a coach blowing upon
his horn The statue bears every mark
of antiquity; indeed, it is so old that
no one knows just exactly what it is
intended to commemorate, although
there is an unverified legend that it is
intended to keep in mind the memory
of some accident occurring at that point.
According to some, the bridge was
wrecked and many were saved through
the brave efforts OF, the conductor, while
according to other accounts the bridge
went down in flood and all wore lost in
the angry waters. No matter what the
original Intention was it possesses a
modern interest as being the only
statue erected in the middle of river,
and as such is regarded with more than
local interest. Several times it has
been found necessary to make repairs
to the pedestal and the money has been
cheerful; provided. the town realizing
the value of this relic of the past.

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.
A Right Merry Jest That Was Turned
Upon a Facetious Ameri-
can Traveller.

Among the reviews to hand from the
Spanish newspapers concerning 1.-TWO
Argonauts in Spain" we find one from
Las Novedades. This journal devotes
a column and a half to the book,
speaking of it in high terms, says the
San Francisco Argonaut 1t closes by
saying:
DOS Argonautas en- Espana makes
an agreeable impressions; it leaves
pleasant recollections when you close
it; it is one of the few books of travel
which we have lately seen that may be
read with pleasure.
But we cannot refrain from COM
rnenting on curious joke of this
American traveller. He says:
We were told that Spain is land
where everything is fried, where the
gridiron has never been known except
for broiling heretics'
'Mr. Hart will pardon us for point
ing out to him that the custom of
cooking human beings alive is no
longer practiced in Spain. but seems
to be highly popular in the southern
part of the United States"
Twas a right merry jest, but it
seems to work two ways!

Shapely Than Those of Other
NationaLtieS.

1.-THE American woman's foot is the
prettiest," said the shoemaker, relates
the Minneapolis Journal. 'It is at once
slender and robust and very supple.
The instep is high and beautiful. In
a word, perfect foot-charming and
serviceable alike in pink satin slip
per in ballroom, Or in a white, rub
ber-soled shoe on tennis court, Or in
a stout hobnailed boot on the side of
the Jungfrau or the Matterhorn.
'"The Frenchwoman's foot comes
next. 1t is long and slender and ele-
CANT, but weak No good for service.
Very ornamental. A foot for show.
The Spanish foot is small and it's in
step high and arched. Here, too, there
is not enough strength. There is a
tendency to softness, and in later life
to fat.
"The German foot is larger but
shapely and strong. 1t resembles the
American foot, only it is much bigger.
The English foot is the-is the-well,
is the limit! 1t is long, it is bony; it
has no instep; it wears its shoe over
on the side. Nowhere in the world
will you find a race with such ugly
feet as those of the English"

Origin of LloYd's.

Two centuries ago man who had a
cargo to send to the Mediterranean con-
triver to get rid of some of the risk
by inducing q friend to take an inter
est with him. 1t was necessary to
write out a statement of contract to
which the guarantors subscribed; this
was the first underwriting. These two
men happened to be frequanters OF
LIoyd's coffee house in London, which
was a favorite place for the merchants
of the town to gather to discuss busi-
ness or to gossip. Others Immediately
saw the advantage of the scheme which
their colleagues had devised and on the
next voyage the risk was parceled out
among a larger number of the patrons
of the coffee house Out OF this small
beginning has grown the great Euro
pean maritime agency, still bearing the
name of the humble coffee house pro-
prietor, and which not only writes
risks on vessels, but rates them and
publishes their arrivals at every port
the world over, no matter how small
or how remotely situated-Mexican

QUEER CURE FOR OLD AGE
Bulgarian Recipe for Preparing Milk
a Remedy Against Grow
ing Aged.

Curdled milk of a special kind, pre-
pared only on a Bulgarian recipe, is
now supposed to be remedy against
growing old, says Paris correspond
ence of the London Telegraph. M.
Xavier Dybovsky has made a COM
munication on the subject to the Acad-
emy of Medicine. The substance is
called yaghurt, and can now be OBJ
tanned in tins in Paris. 1t is sup
posed to be death to all the inimical
bacteria in the intestines, while those
friendly microbes to which Prof.
Metchnikoff pins his faith positively
adore it. Hence the property of yag-
hurt to prolong human life to what is
it's normal span-a century or SO. The
substance looks very like ordinary
cream cheese gone bad, and tastes
similarly The solid portion is mixed
with white, thin liquid, which is ex-
ceedingly sour. People who wish to
live to a hundred breakfast off yag-
hurt exclusively.

A BOSOM HARDENED.

So put faith in her,

This Juno careless clad
And with the mild blue eye,
For she had spoke me fair:
And at the last
How she my bosom wrung!

Andea CAIN indifference
That one might feel who, cruel
Sets heel upon a harmless worm,
She viewed her crushing work.
And yet
With feeling that 'twere doubtless well,
And knowing not how hard
She'd make this thing for me,
i turned no show of sorrow TO the world.
Nor felt one pang.
And, had she not dared
To trifle with its further veal,
Not now beneath my BOSOM hardened thus
Would | be harboring curses deep,
'Gainst her and all her ruthless kind!
But ah, that bosom was
OF finest Madras web ard woof,
Front of the SWEETEST outing shirt
That ever cost five dollars, net,
And soft as fimiest silk

But She-this laundress mine
She starched it, Aye.
Starched it Stiffer than hemlock board!

The kinodrome performance at

very largely attended, on account
of bad weather. Those who were
present enjoyed the moving pict-
ures, some of which brought back
the days of childhood when the
circus came to town. The big
parade of carriages, horses, ele-
plants, camels, etc, with their tin
seled riders, required only a clos
ing of the eyes and a short stretch
of the imagination to make the
occasion a reality. The train rob-
berry scene was also very realistic
and interesting. After the perfor-
nance the hail was cleared and the
music being in readiness. dancing
was INDUCED into until about
twelve O'Clock. Only a small
crowd attended the dance, but all
seemed to enjoy the occasion very
much.
