A city merchant used to give an old
crossing sweeper sixpence every Sat
urday. One day he discovered he had
given half sovereign by mistake.
So he hurried back to the crossing. The
sweeper said In reply to a question.
"will you come, sir, after 4 o'clock to
this address, and will see IL you are
right about the coinT The merchant
did so and found small Office and two
clerks busy at work. Presently the
sweeper appeared, but, oh, so altered!
He was dressed neatly and looked like
a business man. ''Oh, yes" he said
to the astonished merchant. you were
correct. Our receipts today We're about
10 shillings more than usual, so here Is
your half sovereign" As the merchant
left the office" vowing he would new
er give to the rogue again. the sweeper
called after him, you've forgotten

The wrong Feathers.

There is little except the method OF
imitation that distinguishes the balloon
OF the twentieth century from the ma
chine used by NJ. Pilatfe de Rozier. the
first man to trust himself in balloon,
in October, 1873. One of his great ri-
umphs was to hover over Paris at the
height of 800 feet for space of nine
minutes. NJ. Pilatre achieved all his
efforts by means of hot air produced
by q fire which he carried in the bal
loon itself and was almost as daring as

struction from the summit Of the castle

w. of Scotland That courageous ex-
perimenter when picked up from the
ground with a broken leg accounted
for the collapse of his wings by ex-
claiming to the sympathetic courters
that he had made a mistake In taking
some Of his feathers from the creatures
of the barnyard whose inclination was
toward the earth. Had he selected
them from creatures with a heaven

word for a storm that has come to the
English language through Portuguese

Thousands Of men work all their

Cses to which Discarded Boots and

Old boots and shoes Of leather are

It is then mixed with some substance

THE SHORT LIVED DOG.


MS Normal Length Of Life but One
seventh That Of Man.
Surely it is by an unfortunate dis
pensation of nature that the dog, be-
yond all question the chief friend Of
man among the other animals. should
have a normal length OF life which is
no more. on a fair computation, than
one-seventh OF his own. There Is no
other figure which expresses the rela-
tive ages OF man and his dog so well
The puppy of one year is about at the
same canine age as the child Of seven.
At two years he Is probably a little
more advanced than a fourteen-year-
old boy, but the canine age Of three Is
very nearly equivalent to the human
twenty-one And 30 1t continues
through all the years Of canine and Of
human prime respectively. the ratio
fairly well preserved. It has to be ad-
mitted that the old age OF the dog. thus
computed, outlasts the old age Of the
man. One hears stories which seem to
be fairly authentic Of dogs living up
to eighteen, and IL we do hear stories
of human beings living similarly up to
126, at least we do not believe them.
But such an age for dog is quite the
extreme limit. The dog Of ten years
approaches the equivalent Of the three
score and ten which had been named
as the fair end OF the human crea-
lures tether, and on the whole the
multiplication Of canine years by seven
all through the stages Of life gives the
corresponding age OF man better than
any other figure gives it.-Westminster
Gazette.

characters in the cast that on the Open

he suddenly realized that he had Who'll

property room and on with an old coat
that had done service for Tony Lump
kin and on with an old cap belonging
to that same individual. Grabbing an
odd pair OF boots from a discarded
chest-and he was ready! But disas,
tiers came thick and fast on this occa.
sion. The second act called for q

begin the stage orb exploded, and
when the curtain rose the audience
was amazed to md a black hole where

Ants N Germ Carriers.

A German bacteriologist was con-

which he made use of typhoid infected
mice. In another cage he had some
mice which were In good health. Short

that ants were passing from one cage
to the other. Some Of these ants were
examined, and their bodies were found
to be covered with the typhoid germs,
which they were carrying from the sick
