he made up for lost time on the drink and
food proposition.
HE had been gone five and half full
days, or 132 hours. in a hot, close room..
without food or drink, yet he refused nour-
,ishment until he had first paid his ad-
dresses to those he Ioved-a man would
have been inclined to have eaten first and
asked about the others next after 49, con-
secutive hours of starvation. The strange
part of 1t Is that he did not bark during
his confinement, and 1 assume he supposed
that he had been placed in the room for
punishment, though he probably strayed
In after a rat, and the door closed upon
him. This instance is worthy Of note on
the question of a dogs endurance without

The establishment Of new rural free de-
livery routes In various sections OF the
country Is frequently attended with laugh
able Incidents, and the nara ton of these
tales from real life has been known to af-
ford material for more than one after-din-
ner speaker. One such story has been re-
lated by members of a party Of Washing
tonians recently returned from the environs
Of Bucksport. Me-, and those responsible
for telling the incident claim now to be in
full understanding of the reason for Den
man Thompson choosing his characters for
1.-THE Old Homestead" from this old-fash-
Toned region in the shade of Mount Ka-
tahdin.
1t seems that rural free delivery sys-
tenn was recently started with Bucksport
as the center. and on one of the routes a
member Of the Smith family was among
the first to put out receptacle for his
mail. The box happened to be beehive.
and Mr.. Smith cut slit in the top for
letters and papers and nailed the whole on
the upper step OF an old stepladder. On the
face OF the letter box" he inscribed his
name In this fashion: "B. Mith"-and so
stood ready to receive communications
from his friends. Unfortunately it hap
pened that Mr.. B. Smith had borrowed the
beehive from neighbor some two years
before. and it goes without saying that the
erty when 1t thus came to light. Now
II. 8 NTH" Is without mail box. but 1t
Is stated on good authority that he has
never been known to receive a piece of
mail cftener than once in six months, and
that only an advertising circular.

Fire Insurance in England.
From the Nineteenth Century.

From the Nineteenth Century.
No fire insurance policies issued In this
country, and In most other countries. cover
loss or damage caused by or happening
through riots or civil connections, foreign
enemy, military or usurped power or earth
quakes. If such disaster as that Of San
Francisco occurred here. the fire offices
would have no liability either for earth
quake or for fire damages caused by the
earthquake. The reason for this large ex-
clusion is the incalculable nature of an
earthquake and the damage which 1t may
cause. Not only can no one calculate pre-
MUM to meet so vague a risk, but no hu-
man security can be provided which would
not be scattered to fragments by a really
widespread earthquake. We have seen the
enormous fire losses-amounting to not less
than 100000 00-arising out of earth
quakes in one American city. If the shock
had spread far to several other important
cities as It might we'll have done, probably
no fire Insurance office. British, American
or European, would have been able to pay
the claims upon 1t. The protection offered
by fire insurance Is an indemnity against
ordinary accidental losses, and not one of
the exclusions with which I am dealing is
of the nature Of an ordinary accident. Fire
losses arising out of riots and civil commo-
lions are ruled out practically everywhere.
1t is liability of state or municipality to
protect its citizens from the effects of wide
of disorder, and, in this country.
believe. property owners in the event Of
loss through riots. have a remedy against
the public authority which controls the po-
lice. If country be invaded by an enemy
or revolution takes place, the destruction
might be tupendous-comparable even to
that caused by an earthQuake-and there
would be no security that fire offices could
pay even IL they did not exclude the risks
altogether. They properly exclude these
risks

Lever was well aware of his faults. II

at the beginning of his career in Harry

later he remarked sadly: II have only to
look back upon great opportunities neglect

wasted and whole life squandered. Yet If
1t were not for the necessity that has kept
me before the world. perhaps 1 should have

admitted, owing to a fondness for cards,
in his case fatal because of his singularly
bad luck, and the resultant urgent need of
money. This explains why he wrote so
much and so quickly, but, though 1t has
more than once been pleaded In extenua-

loose style. although Lever himself won-

Lever possessed Imagination of no mean

poetry, he had considerable descriptive
power, and drew splendid pen pictures OF
landscape and seascape besides depicting

he was facile princeps in his particular

There can be no doubt-aithough at pres

omission and commission, by virtue of the

Great Discovery.

The editor Of a Kansas paper states
that he once borrowed a Winchester
rifle and started up the street few
days after to deliver the weapon TO Its
owner. The delinquent subscribers got
It into their heads that he was on the
warpath, and every one he met insisted
on paying what he owed him. One
man wiped out a debt OF ten years
standing. On his return to his Office he
found a load of hay, fifteen bushels Of
corn. ten bushels of potatoes, load Of
wood and u barrel of turnips that had
been brought in. We would like to
borrow a Winchester for q day or two.

Pure white animals" said a pet
stock dealer, "have no sense Of smell.
Hence they are continually eating
things that Disagree with them, and in
eight cases out of ten poison them
selves and die. Pure white pigs should
never be allowed to run loose in the
fields and woods. For, without the
protection OF q sense of smell, such
pigs, when they get out, eat all sorts
of poisonous roots and berries and die
OF rapidly. "In Africa the white rhi-
noceros poisons itself by eating the
euphorbia, and pure white sheep arc
difficult to rear because they are con-
tinually munchlng shrubs and grasses

The primitive Inhabitants of Europe

Among white races. the fair complex

usually a baritone or a tenor, the latter

tenors are usually Of slender build,
whereas basses are stout but there are
too many exceptions to such a rule for
It to be reliable. The same remark ap-
plies to the statement that thoughtful
men have deep toned voices and vice
