Shortcomings of the Horse.

The horse shied at piece of white paper and the rider tumbled off into the mud.
 It is well for the world" said an automobilist, smiling, that it is ceas- ing to use the horse for servant. The horse is half-blind giant with the mind of a baby. No wonder, then. that when we trust our lives in his keeping he is apt to go back on us.
 His main trouble is his eyes. So poor is the horses sight that he mis- takes bank of snow for a fierce white beast. A mud puddle at his feet is a yawning chasm. A shadow flung across his path is a black terror seek ing his life.
 Hence the weak-minded, near sighted, powerful horse goes through life beside himself with fear. He is no more to be trusted than a maniac and, like maniac, he sees monster awaiting him at every corner. Yet we get on his back, fools that we are"

Hand.Made Island.

A proposition is being considered in Switzerland to build an island in the middle of the lake of Neuehatel. In the lake it seems that there is sub- merged mountain, the top of which is only a few feet below the surface of the water. Engineers who have been looking the matter over claim that it will be a very simple matter to build quite a large island with this noun tain as a foundation, and will be the means of adding quite, a little land to the republic and incidentally some little revenue to the treasury.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE FLY.
Explanation That Probably Did Not
 Satisfy Traveller.

Before sailing for Egypt for the winter James Hazen Hyde said at a farewell dinner in New York:
 The only drawback to a tropical winter is the flies. In the hot sun of January day in Egypt, Morocco or Algeria the flies are an incredible pest. You see them in the corners of the eyes of native children and men lie asleep in sunny places with flies crawling over their lips.
 The natives don't mind the flies. In fact, they like them. At a boorj or native inn in the Sahara a traveller said to the waiter, pointing indignant ly at his stew of barley and goats flesh:
 How comes this dead fly in my couscous?
 Monsieur replied the waiter. I can not tell you. Perhaps the fly had not eaten for many days and throwing himself ravenously on the cous-cous fed with too great heartiness, thereby contracting an inflammation of the stomach severe enough to cause death. The poor little thing can never have been strong When I brought the cous-eous it was dancing and hum ming merrily on the surface. Perhaps this idea has just presented itself to melt endeavored to swallow too large piece of meat. The morsel stuck in it's windpipe. z terrific coughing fit. inaudible to orr gross ears, ensued. Alas, soon all Txs over
 The waiter wiped his etes and said in a broken voice:
 ." I can account in no other way for the poor creature's death.

Matrimonial infeIicity.

Divorces are, happily rare in SO ciety circles. Separation by mutual consent, however, grows more ire quent every year. Every one has upon his or her visiting list husbands and wives who never meet if they can help it, but between whom there has never been an open breach. Incom- patibility of temper is the usual cause, and the reason for that is, one imagines. the still common custom of encouraging the younger generation to marry before they have begun to approach years of discretion-Lon. don Throne
