relatively weak tone of the Liverpool

cline at the opening there was active
bidding by local traders, on which the
price of May advanced to S514dS5s. Of
ferings, however, were very liberal and
prices gradually receded during the re-
mainder Of the day. The market was
further weakened by advices from New
York which reported a noticeable de-
crease in the foreign demand for Mani
toba wheat. From the start commission
houses were active sellers and later MANY

POINTED

1t doesn't take much to make a fool
of any one.
Being busy has kept many a man out
of mischief.
When a man does another man a
favor, somehow it seems to strengthen
his memory.
A great many people do not talk
scandal, but they furnish the material,
which is just as bad.
Indulge in as little fool talk as posi-
BILE. People are quick to pick up your
foolish sayings and repeat them be-
hind your back.
Investigate and you will find that
jealousy sends more people to insane
asylums than any other thing. 1t will
even do up drink in making a record.
Thank heaven, the multiplication ia
BILE doesn't change! 1t is the only
thing a mother knows that is the same
as when she went to school and which
she can speak Of without being cor
rected.-Atchison Globe.

A Poets HomeIy Face,

The poet Rogers was afflicted with a
notably unpleasant, cadaverous coun-
tenance, which, with all his intellectual
power, was a modification to him. To
hide his annoyance, he ioked about his
ugliness incessantly and deceived his
friends into supposing him Indifferent
to it. He once turned to Sydney
Smith, who, with Byron and Moore,
was dining with him, and said:
"Chantrey wants to perpetuate this
miserable face of mine. What pose
would you suggest that 1 should take?"
'If you really wish to spare the world
as much as possible" said the wit, 81
would, if 1 were you, be taken at my
prayers, my face buried in my hands,"
Rogers laughed with the other per.
sons present, but he shot a malignant
glance at the jester and, it is said, new
er fully forgave him for the bonnet.

it his eyes kindled and his whole de-

he began writing the notes instantly.
In a few moments he requested Mr..

played with little hesitation the beau
tiful melody from the notes. A few
moments later he had jotted down the
notes for the different parts and the
chorus.

pencil to write the words before the
hymn and the notes had all been COM

been sung the world over ever since.

A Surfeit of OrntOry.

One of the mistaken theories is that
a public speaker" is necessary to the
success of any public affair. This the
DRY had it's rise at a time when oratory
was a fad. Orators were cultivated,
and they were supposed to take hui
man passions in their hands and toy
with them. In this practical age pub
lie speakers are a bore, and nobody
cares anything about them. People
gather to be entertained and not lee
tured. But, this theory having been
established that a public speaker" is
important to a picnic, an orator is
hauled out and set loose on a few old
gentlemen with canes and a few moth
ers who must occupy the benches in
taking care of the children.-Sabetha

TRAINING DOC POLICE.
Breaking In OF the Seine Patrol One
of the Sights OF Paris.

The training of the young New
foundlands that are periodically added
to the staff is one of the sights of
Paris. 1t takes place in the headquar-
tiers of the agents plongeurs, u small
building on the quayside not far from
the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Dogs
and men enter into the exercise with
zest, and there is usually a crowd of
onlookers. Only dummy figures are
used, but the rescue" is nevertheless
a very realistic affair. The big dogs
know perfectly we'll what the exercise
means, and they wait with comic en-
thusiasm until the dummy is thrown
into the water and an agent plongeur
rushes out on hearing the splash and
the cutlery Of spectators. While the
men are busy with lines and life buOys
the dog plunges into the water, swims
to the dummy, watches with rare i'll
telligence for an opportunity to get an
advantageous hold, and then it either
sW+ims ashore or waits for its master,
who brings to the rescue long poles,
cork belts and the like. The more eX-
perienced dogs, however, will easily
effect a rescue from first to last with
out human assistance, and it IS an in
spring sight to watch them looking
for a foothold on the slippery sides of
the river bank and pulling the heavy
dummy into 4 place of safety.
1t takes about four months TO train
the dogs efficiently. They are also
charged with the protection of their
masters when attacked by the deS-
perate rufIians who sleep under the
arches of the bridge in summer. Thus
in Paris the police dogs are a proved
succeSs.-Century.

A GREAT BEER HOUSE.
Munich Owns the Oldest and Largest
Saloon In the World.

Munich Owns the Oldest and Largest
Saloon In the World.
The Hofbrauhaus of Munich is per-
haps the oldest and largest saloon in
the world, owned by the king of Ba-
varia and %patronized by an average OF
$4,000 customers n day. On holidays
the number often runs up to 10000 and
10000. Nothing to drink is sold but
beer, breWed at the royal brewery,
which was started by King Ludwig the
Severe in 1855. The present HOfbrau-
haus was built in 1914, and the beer
was brewed on the spot until 1878,
when the brewery was moved into the
country to less expensive quarters.
There are seats for 1,500 customers,
plain wooden benches without backs
beside plain wooden tables without
covers. In the garden or court are 100
empty beer barrels set on end, which
are used for tables. The stems, which
are very heavy and hold a quart of
beer, are piled up in stacks before the
bar on the floor in the morning, where
they remain until they are used.
When a customer wants beer he
picks out a stein, takes it to II of the
basins of running water which line the
walls and washes it himself. Then he
carries it to the counter and hands it
over to the bartender, who fills it with
beer from the Barrel. The price is 6
cents q stein, and the profits support
the hospitals Of the city, although the
king could claim them if he desired to
do so, as the brewery and the Hofbrau-
haus belong to him by inheritance

Clovelly, on the north Devon coast, a
very large percentage of deaths is due
to cancer and the reason locally given
is the habit of intermarriage necessari-
" brought about in a place so widely
severed from the outside world. The
state of affairs appears to be even
worse at Buck Mills, a fishing hamlet
three miles away, where intermarriage
has been carried to such In extreme
that one is almost sufficient
to designate the whole Of the popula-
ton Of the yillage.-London Telegraph.

ThankfuIness.

1 Am no friend to the people who re-
ceive the bounties of Providence with
out visible gratitude. When the six
pence falls into your hat you may
laugh. When the messenger Of an IN
expected blessing takes you by the
hand and lifts you up and bids you walk
you may leap and run and sing for
joy, even as the lame man whom st.
Peter healed skipped piously and re-
joiced aloud as he passed through the
beautiful gate of the temple. There is
no virtue in solemn indifference. Joy
is as much a duty as beneficence is.
T~hankfulness is the other side of met
cy.-Henry Van Dyke.

Two AdmiraIs, a Captain and a Fool
In Manila Bay.
When Dewey's fleet was at Manila
the late Admiral Chichester was then
a captain. On one occasion Admiral
Diedrichs, the German, sent out the
Irene on an unrevealed errand and
without the customary notification to
the commander of the blockading fleet.
Admiral Dewey had suffered, he
thought, sufficiently from that sort Of
thing, and SO the admiral sent q vessel
across the Irene's bows and notified
her captain that she would not be per-
mitted to depart without a statement
as to her destination. 1t was not Ad
miral Diedrichs' mission to quarrel
with both the American and the Eng
fish fleets on this critical occasion, so
he sought to find out Captain Chiches-
ter's purpose in cas- of a collision. Co
ing on board Chichester's ship, he an
grily exclaimed, did you see what
Dewey did to my ship?"
EYES," replied Chichester.
"What would you have done if it had
been an English ship?"
"Well," said Chichester, convenient
~ assuming that the Irene's captain
had sailed without orders from Die
drichs, I'D have put my captain in ar
rest, and then I'd have gone on board
the Olympia and %apologized to Admiral
Dewey for having such a fool in COM
mand of one of my ships."-Harper's
Weekly.
