A FOUR LEGGED FAKlR.
rhe Holy Cow Was Presented With a
Very Effective Petition.

fhe Holy Cow Was Presented with
Very Effective Petition.
Not all the fakirs of India are hui
man beings. Holy cows and sacred
monkeys have a fine share in the
game and in some instances show
rare cunning in taking advantage OF
the peoples beliefs in their attri-
butes.
At Hale Ka, on the Indus, there is
a notably willy old sacred beast,
whose long years of receiving wor-
ship, petting and pampering have
developed some strange characters
tics. This animal will leave the
shore several times a day in the
heated season and, wading far out
into the stream, stand there and
bawl until some one of the villagers
comes out and laves her with water,
the GOODNESS caused by the evapora-
ton seeming to crafty her greatly.
She is extravagantly fond OF choice
plantains and will 60 into the bazaar
and take only the very best.
A friend of the family was close
by a shopkeeper's stand one day
when sacred bull wandered up and
began to feed from the provisions
displayed, with entire assurance OF
being within his rights. The shop
keeper approached him gently, say
ing:
brother. Seest thou not those sweet
delicacies before the place OF the
rich man across the way?"
The bull munched on.
ssFull well / know thou art holy
man. and I give thee all thou takest,
feeling my reward in heaven already
bestowed: but, brother, | am a poor
man. and this morning gave rll'
nee to thv very holy brother OF IA
tonga { stiff armed fakir OF the re-
gion), and thou shouldest come ID
another moon" -,
A great hole was growing In the
nile on the stand. The shopkeeper
picked up bamboo stick and blew
his breath in the end of it, then
again addressed the animal:
oInto this stick / have breathed 9
nrayer that thou mayest remember
how Door q man am, O my broth
er and 1 now present my humble
netition." Whereupon he whacked
the bull sharply over the nose, ano
the the astounded animal galloped, bel
lowing, through the bazaar.-Metro'

GEORGE ". NO GENTLEMAN,
He Was Told So Once, and at Another
Time He Proved It.

Time He Proved 1t.
When Lord Liverpool was form
ing his ministry in 1922 he thought
it absolutely necessary to have Can
ming at the foreign office, although
aware that the appointment would
be obnoxious to George ". The
Duke of Wellington undertook the
unpleasant task of Communicating
Lord LiverpooPs determination.
AS soon as the king knew what
was wanted of him he broke out
"Arthur, it is impossible. l said, on
my honor as a gentleman, he should
never be one of my ministers again.
I am sure you will agree with me
that l cannot do what I said on my
honor as a gentleman l would not
do"
Another man would have been 81
fenced, but the great soldier, always
equal to an emergency, replied:
pardon me, sir, but I don't agree
with you at all. Your majesty is not
a gentleman
The bold assertion startled the
king, but the duke went on, 'eYour
majesty is not gentleman, but the
sovereign of England, with duties
to your people far above any to
yourself, and these duties render it
imperative that you should employ
the abilities of Mr.. Canning"
"Well, Arthur" said the king,
drawing a long breath, eff l must,
/ must"
Although he did not like being
told he was not gentleman, George
". had once, at least, while regent
forgotten he was one. This was
when he flung a glass of wine in
Colonel Hamlyn's face, with sHam-
Ign, you are blackguardv'
The insulted officer could not re-
turn the compliment without com
hitting something like treason-it
was out of the question to challenge
the prince, while to let the insult
pass unnoticed was equally impossi-
BILE.
The colonel filed his glass and
threw the contents in the face of his
neighbor, saying, sHis majesty's
toast, pass it onp
Hamlyn," cried the regent,
you're . capital fellow! Here's
your health"
And they we're fast friends from
that evening.

The Whale.

An English schoolboy gives his
views regarding the whale: "The
whale is not called a fish because It
is so big, SO it is called a creature:
They eat cockels and worms and
iellies. The whales swim in shols,
and they have tarpoon at the end
of their tails, when he moves his
tail, with one blow he will smash
the side of the ship. It has a very
big head and two fins, or fappers, on
one side of it's body. Fishmongers
catches whales an sail theh. Some
people eat whales with salt and
piper and bread, and some with po-
tatoes. If you keep whales head
under water he will die for want OF
BREATH"

VEST POCKET WONDER.
Marvsls Of the Watch-Distance Trav.
slsd by Wheels Each Year.

Marvsls Of the Distance Tray.
slsd BY Wheels Each Year.
How often is it that things we see
and handle many times IN a day are
seldom thought Of! How few of
those who possess a watch have
ever thought of what is expected of
it and the work it has to do!
This little machine is expected to
work day and night without stop
ping (as our pulse has to work from
birth till death). We expect it to
show us the right time in winter
and summer and in whatever posi-
ton it is placed.
T Now, if we open an. ordinary gen.
tleman's Geneva horizontal watch
we can see the balance about FIVE
eighths of an inch in diameter,
which gives a three-quarters' turn
at every tick of the watch, SO that
the little pin seen in the balance
travels at every tick of the watch
about one and a half inches, and as
watch of that description has to
make $4,000 vibrations in an hour
the little pin has to make journey
of about ten miles every twenty
four hours.
Now, well made watches are gen.
orally expected to 60 for two years,
sothe little pin in the balance would
have made the long journey of 1900
(English) miles.
The balance in a lever watch
makes generally one and a half turns
at every tick, and therefore travels
double the distance $4,000
miles. To be able to accomplish
this all the materials must be Of
the best and hardest. The oil also
must be of the best and so fine and
fluid that one drop will suffice to
oil 200 pivots, or bearings, and keep
good in the watch for at least two
years.
Equally astonishing are the means
by which a watch is regulated. This
is done by frightening or shortening
the fine spiral spring, generally
known as the hairspring.
If watch should be half min
ute slow a day the hairspring is a
fourteen thousandth part of Sec
ond too long. Should a watch be
only a minute a week slow it would
then be the ninety-eight thousandth
part of second too long.
All that is expected of the user
of a watch is that it is regularly
wound up and be not too carelessly
treated. Everything else has to be
left to the mechanism of the watch
and to the clever skill of the watch
maker.-Pearson's Weekly.

SMOKING IN HOLLAND.
The Dutch Are the 0rea&sst Users q
Tobacco In Europe.

The Dutch Are the Greatest Users a.
Tobacco In Europe.
The Hollanders are perhaps Of
all the northern peoples those who
smoke the most. The humidity Of
their climate makes it almost a ne
cessity, and the very moderate cost
OF tobacco renders it accessible to
ell.
To show how deeply rooted is the
habit it is enough to say that the
boatmen of the trekschuit, the
aquatic diligence of Holland, meas
ire distance by smoke. From here,
they say, to such and such place it
IS not SO many miles, but so many
pipes.
When you enter house after the
first salutations your host offers you
a cigar. When you take your leave
ne hands you another and often in
sists upon filling your cigar case.
In the streets you see persons
lighting fresh cigar with the burn
ing stump of the last one without
pausing in their walk and with the
busy air of people who do not wish
to lose a moment of time or a
mouthful of smoke. Many 90 to
sleep with pipe in mouth, relight it
if they wake in the night and again
In the morning before they step out
of bed.
. 1t really does appear that smok-
ing is for the Dutchman a necessary
vital function.
Many people think that so much
smoke dulls the intelligence. Never
theless if there be people, as Es-
quiroz justly observes, whose intel
lect is of the clearest and highest
precision it is the Dutch people.
Smoke" said a Hollander, els
our second BREATH" Another de-
fined the cigar as the sixth finger of
the hand.-Pearson's Weekly.

Trivial Causes.

In most unhappy marriages the
cause Of evil has been trivial. As
Steele says, the first maxim in
married mans condition is that hus-
band and wife should be above tri-
fes. When two persons have SC
good an opinion Of each other as to
come together for life they will not
differ in matters of importance, be
cause they think of each other with
respect and are prepared for mutual
assistance and relief. But for small
er matters they have made no prep
arations, and hence springs the mis-
chief.

A certain colonel's gardener was

you'll have to clear out of this.
