A Cordial WeIcnma

The first demand that the association
In charge Of New York foundlings had
to meet was for a baby girl between
M and two years Of age with blue
eyes. curly hair, dimple in chin, etc. A
number of hospitals and asylums were
canvassed, and finally Randalrs island
produced a sole survivor eight months
old who had a number Of the requisite
traits. The candidate was visited and
pronounced worthy, the home up the
river found to be all that could be de-
sired, and on a stated afternoon the
agent took the train with her charge.
As she alighted at the station she no.
ticed an unusual gathering Of people,
which was promptly explained by a
shout: "There she is! There is Mrs.
Blanks babyv" The entire village had
gathered to offer a welcome.-Every-

A Con.ressman,s Rreak.

Occasionally an awfully bad break
is made by members Of congress-, and
not infrequently ignorantly so. A few
years ago the Chicago district was rep
resented by a really good man whose
first name was Frank. He was not as
highly educated as a member Of con-
gress should be, but he thought he
knew a very great deal. One day he
sauntered into the press gallery and
told the scribes that he had been on a
visit to a certain place over in Mary
land, where his eldest daughter was
at school.
II understand that it is a most ex-
cellent educational institution" said
the late Eugene Speer.
That's what it is" answered the
congressman, land I don't think 1 ever
saw a more 'decollete' affair in all my
life. 1t is the very place to give young
girls a good education"
The scribes went out one by one and
braced up at the Garry Nation" which
then dispensed the fluid unmolested in
the Observation-Disclosures Post.

The Acrobasio Gibbon.

A great ape which makes Its home
In Borneo is the gibbon. which is a
small animal compared with the orang,
weighing only about forty or fifty
pounds. It Is very frail in it's bodily
makeup. The head is set squurely on
the shoulders, and it looks upward.
When walking on the ground it bal
ances itself along like a walker on a
tight rope. Its remarkable power Of
grasp and dexterity in using it's hands
are equally with the shape Of it's
Uranium indexes of its superior intelli-
gence, perhaps because it Is able to
take bold Of a greater number Of
things and examine them. The gibbons
go in droves, whereas orangs live by
families, and one of the most interest
Ing spectacles imaginable is to see a
troop Of them crossing a great gap in
the forest by throwing themselves in
succession through the air, each one
taking a swing or two to gather mo-
mentum before launching himself. So
great is their agility that in executing
feats Of this sort they seem like birds.

When Leather was Money,

Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing it for
this purpose before either gold, silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is full Of references showing that
leather was used by the ancients as a
sort Of circulating medium Of ex-
change. 1t is said on good authority
that so late as during the reign Of
Louis XII. Of France the country be-
came so impoverished and as a con-
sequence money was so scarce that
little pieces Of leather with a small
silver nail driven through each were
in general use as money. Some few
specimens Of this leather money are
still in existence, but are only to be
found in the possession Of numis-
matists, by whom they are highly
priced.

When K1pling Visited Quay.

When Rudyard Kipling was in this
country he was commissioned to write
impressions about the chief political
boss Of the United States, Senator
Quay. Kipling went to Beaver and
called on the senator, whom he found,
as was usual, in his library. The talk
vas about books. In a short time, so
it seemed to the British writer, Mrs.
Quay came in, and after Mr.. Kipling
had been presented she urged him to
stay to tea. Kipling stayed, and after
tea he and the senator returned to the
library, which vas such a n as he
did not expect to find in any home in
America. More talk about books fol-
lowed until, to Mr.. Kipling's amaze
ment, the clock struck II. Then, mind
full Of his commission, he made ar
rangements to call again the next day.
Going to the telegraph Office. Kipling
wired his publishers something like
this: unable to find the boss politician,
but If you want it will write impress
sions about the best literary critic in
America San Francisco Call.
