Who Could Pass?

To test the spelling capabilities OF
fifty applicants for Junior clerkships
in the offices of the Sydney water and
sewerage board they were called upon
to write from dictation this paragraph:
"This celibate was a licentiate in mel
cine and held other scholastic dipl0-
mas. His characteristics were idiosyn-
crasies personifed-one day taciturn,
the next garrulous. Today his facile
pen evolves q sapient distich in piquant
satire of some literary genius; tomOr-
row an encomiastic effusiOn on an il
literate voluptuary. His studies on
concrete science were exotic; his re-
searches in natural philosophy esoteric
if not chimerical." No less than forty
three out of the fifty candidates came
to grief in this artfully designed spell
ing obstacle race. At the next meet
ing Of the board member doubted
whether ten out of fifty Oxford M. AS,
if suddenly called upon to write out
the same passage, would succeed in ne
gotiating every one of the big words

Eohn Winds,

The Journal of the Meteorological
Society of Japan contains an account
by DR.. Okada of the occurrence in Ke-
rea of those remarkable winds which
have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origi-
nally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snOwclad mountains of
Switzerland and producing extensive
MEETINGS of the snow They have
hence been called ''snow eaters" The
fohn is essentially phenomenon of
mountainous regions, and Wonsan. in
Korea, where they have been observed
Is surrounded except on the east by
high mountains. In this region they
are always westerly and cause abnor'
mally high temperatures and dryness
Of the air. A similar wind In North
America blowing down from tbs
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also in the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes in
midwinter they produce remarkable
climatic paradox. AS result of the
elevation of temperature caused by
them it may happen that northern
Greenland. though in winter darkness
is warmer than southern France.

Where Animals Beat Men,

Mature taking aside" said the zoo
keeper, mice won't eat cleo. 1t is
fact. Lay pat of oleo and pat of
butter side by side and in the morning
the butter will be gone, but the cleo
will remain untouched.
"Oh, yes, some animals are incredi-
bly, nice about their food. The otter,
when living wild, will only eat one
piece, one mouthful out of each fish
he catches. He will land beautiful
trout, but only one bite of it from the
back, just behind the neck, is good
enough for him. The rest he losses
aside. This epicure often kills dozen
fine, big trout to make one meal.
"Chimpanzees have very delicate
tastes. A banana or pineapple that
to you seems delicious to a chimpan-
zee may be revolving. His taste is
keener. Grapes grown in hothouses
where sulphur fumes are used as an
insecticide taste all right to man. but
chimpanZee will have none of them.

The Old Buffalo Days.

There is on record at the war de-
partment Washington, a document
bearing witness to how plentiful buff
faloes were within the memory Of
many men now living. 1t is the "re-
turn" for several rounds Of cannon
ammunition expended in Kansas in
1867 to divert the course of great
herd of buffalo that was bearing down
toward a camp of soldiers with q
force that threatened to overwhelm it.
At least one officer is alive who saw
these shots fired, and he describes the
herd as literally reaching as far as the
eye could see. 1t was long time in
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched 1t in silence, awed by the
spectacle. General Philip st. George
Cooke at once halted a regiment Of
cavalry on the plains to permit grea,
herd of antelope to pass, and he was
not a man easily halted when on duty.
His humanity impelled him to with
hold the regiment from mangling and
manning the antelope, which were al
lowed the right of way.-Boston Tran

Men Who Help Thieves.

The ''rechristener" is the profession
al name of the man who alters the
names and numbers on stolen watches.
The rechristener is usually a clever
engraver who through drink or other
wise has lost the chance Of obtaining
honest employment and aids the re-
ceiver of stolen property. When a
watch has been stolen the number or
name or other indication of make or
ownership may be forwarded to the
police and by them communicated to
pawnbrokers. There is consequently
an element of risk in attempting to
dispose of it. There are various ways
of getting over the difficulty, and re-
christening is one that Is frequently
resorted to. The engraver adds or pre-
fixes another figure to the number or
he turns the name -. Robins into
"T. J. Robinson" the extra initial
serving to make the name look level
and central on the watch case. This is
done very cleverly, and the rest of the
letters or figures are touched up to
make all appear to have been cut at
the same time.-London Standard.

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is a story Of
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment How can the
dead eat and drink?' he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the de-
fusion must soon become actuality-he
would die Of starvation. The strangest
ruse was tried. Half dozen attend
ants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently in single file into the room adj
joining his and with the door open sat
down where ne could see them to
hearty neal. Here, who are these
people?" inquired the patient. Dead
men," answered the doctor. "Whatw
said the other. ''Do dead men eatT
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
yourself" was the answer. "Well."
said the corpse, ''if that Is so, I'll join
them, for I'm starving" The spell was
broken, and he sat down and ate like
forty famished men.

Why Is the Ocean Salt?

A Queer Servian Belief.

To hatch a chicken by holding all
egg for the allotted time in the left
armpit is believed in Servia to be a
certain charm against violent death,
more especially if the bird be swal-
lowed whole forty days after it comes
to life. A robber who had devastated
the district of Kolubara for many
years was, writes a Belgrade CORE
spondent, known to have accomplished
both these feats, which accounted for
the apathy of the peasants in pursuing
him, persuaded as they were of his in
vulnerability. He was finally, how
ever, killed by the mounted police,
thus discrediting time honored Ser
Wan superstition.

Women's Dress and Women's Homes

an said to the writer in one of our
western cities especially given over
to the national passion for dress: ''Any
countrywoman of mine dressed as that
woman is, OF that, would be in her car
riage. She would return to substan-
tial home, the door would be opened
by a man in livery, every item of her
environment would match the elegance
of those furs, that frightfully ex-
pensive hat, that very smart broad
cloth walking suit, whereas the
chances are (you see I've been keeping
my eyes OPEN that she came in
street car and will go home in one. She
lives either in tiny lodgings beg your
pardon, fat-and will open her front
door with a pass key, or else she
lives in one of the suburban towns in
a very trumpery sort of little house
which does not in the least match
those furs or that hat. Ar / slOven-

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
Francis JOseph's Doctors Consider
That the Immediate Danger to
Their Patient Has Passed.

Vienna, Oct 15.-The day brought a
distinct change for the better in the
condition of Francis Joseph, the aged
emperor-king of Austria-Hungary. The
doctors consider that the immediate
danger has passed unless unforeseen
complications arise, and as a result
hopeful anticipation has come to the
Niennese in place of the fears and
fOrebodings of the past three days.
The patient had fairly good night
Sunday and felt better when he arose
in the morning. During the day he
rested easy, and although he still suf-
fers considerably from cough the day
on the whole was q good one The
fever has almost entirely disappeared,
and the spread Of the inflammation has
ceased. In fact it is said that his ma
jesty was so much better that he
was able to devote time to state af-
fairs. and he granted audiences to a
number of court officials.

lodge that control "as near home as
possible"
