Little Folks
Wolves and the Cougar

Once there We're two wolves who
had a chicken tree, in which fowls
were very fond of roosting.
One day when they went down to
the chicken tree to get each of them a
bird they heard a snarly-snarly sound
and found feathers all around the tree,
while every bird for a mile around was
either eaten or scared away.

The Smallest Screws.

The smallest screws ever made are
used in the manufacture of the minia-
ture watches which are sometimes fit
ted in rings, shirt studs, bracelets, etc.
They are the next thing to being in
visible to the naked eye, looking like
minute grains of sand. With a good
glass, however, it may be plainly seen
that each is a perfect screw, having a
number of threads equal to 1,260 to the
inch. These tiny screws are four one
thousandths of an inch in diameter and
seven one-thousandths of an inch in
length. 1t is estimated that a lady's
thimble of average size would hold
100000 of them No attempt is ever
made to count these ''tiny triumphs of

usually pursued in determining their
number is to carefully count 100 and
then place them on a delicate balance.

"Chinlon," the Burmese form Of foot
ball, is the national game. The name
means round basket" writes Mr.. KEEL
~ in his book on Burma, and the chin
Ion is really ball about six inches in
diameter formed of plated rattans.
The game is played by several youths
or men, who stand in a circle a few
feet apart. The ball having been
thrown into play, the one nearest to
whom it falls kicks it up into the air
with the instep, knee or side of the
foot. The effort is to keep it in the
air as long as possible and without
losing possession of the ball. A fancy
stroke is to turn about face as the ball
falls and kick it with the sole of the
foot, although the elbows, head or any
part of the body except hand and toes
may be used. While playing no one
leaves his place, but waits until the
ball falls within his reach, when he in
turn endeavors to retain its possession.
It is very pretty game to watch, and
the skill of the performers is often
surprising.

representatives to negotiate peace, at

nouncing Chief Justice Henry Strong
and Don NJ. Dickinson, with whom he
met in Washington to arbitrate the
claim Of the Salvadorean commercial
company against Salvador His APP

THEATRICAL NOTES.

At the Chicago opera house a
brilliant revival of Land of Nod"
has been made with such instant sue
cess that the big theatre is crowded
at every performance. With new
scenery, new costumes and a company
including nearly all the old favorites
and some new ones, this popular ex-
travaganza seems likely to repeat it's
remarkable success of last season
when it ran out the entire summer
season at the Home of Extrava-
.ganza."
Although the company is larger
and the production finer than those
usually offered in Chicago at $150
the management of the opera house
has established a scale of prices rang
ing far below anything ever before
exaeted for a great standard show.
AS this will be the only musical en-
tertainment of its class in Chicago
for some time to come visitors to the
city will doubtless be pleased to see
so smart a show at a price less than
half the standard rate.
Mabel Barrison whose success as
Bonnie has made her a star con-
tinues to improve this dainty role
/ while Knox Wilson's April Fool has
(aised him into the front rank of
eccentric comedians. The famous
ldadcaps are still holding notable
features and Walter Stanton's Giant
Rooster and fighting bantam are i'm
portant elements in the startling
nightmare palace scene. All the
other original characters such as the
Rarebit, Man in the Moon, Rory Bory
Alice, Knock Out Drops, Chorus Girl
and Jack of Hearts are represented
by skilled artists long identified
with. these roles. while the beauty

singing organization ever heard il

Cars For Man and Beast.

From Salzburg you go to Munich.
While travelling through the mountains
of Bavaria you drop suddenly from the
sublime to the ridiculous by catching
a glimpse of car bearing a label of
which this is the translation:
For thirty-two men or six horses"
On inquiry you learn that the Bava-
rian railroads run fourth class cars. on
which the very poor may travel for q
t-ife or which may be used at the op-
ton of the railroad to transport equine
freight. Later you have an opportu-
nifty to inspect some Of these fourth
class cars. and you find them to be
similar to our own freight cars. al
though much smaller. Plain wooden
benches form the seats, which may be
removed to accommodate the live stock.
Most Of the European freight cars and
many Of the passenger cars have only
four wheels and look like toy affairs
compared to our own.-Chicago Post

The use of the sidesaddle for women

horses man fashion. but on account Of
a deformity this German bride was
