tellr'
A fresh supply. was at once given
him, and as soon as it was finished he
repeated his threat. Whereupon he

EnnIish House Names.

House owners are sometimes rather
unfortunate in their selection Of names
for their abodes, and in suburbia house
naming Is occasionally rather ludicrous.
Thus "The Naples" has never a ma
pie near, "The Rosary" only exists in
Imagination. "Sunnyside" is the most
depressing villa residence. and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the Bois de Boulogne.
The Anglo-Saxon word 'hyrst," sig
nlfying a forest or wood, has become
hurst i'm house naming, and wood
and "holt' have the same meaning.
All house names ending with these ter
limitations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose.
1t Is curious TO note that in Hastings
and st. Leonards quite a number OF
houses have typically Saxon names,
perhaps to commemorate the great
Saxon tragedy of which the name
Hastings Is reminiscent.

The Partisan men are not likely to

At least GO per cent OF the game OF
bridge lies In the make. A poor player
loses tricks and often the game and
rubber by his play. but so many hands
occur In which there Is really no play
that such losses are comparatively un-
important compared with the havoc
wrought by an injudicious maker. fofs
constantly his decision is invoked when
the safety Of the game or its success
lies in his judgment OF the value OF
his hand. To choose between hearts
or diamonds and no trumps. TO select
clubs rather than spades. TO know
when a five card suit is safe and
when one of four cards should be
chosen, above all TO keep an unrelax.
Ing attention upon the state OF the
score. with its shifting demands-all
these are the sterling qualities OF a
good maker. Once sensible that you
are lacking in any such respect you
will find your game appreciably

/ can almost eat and sleep with a fine
dog winter and summer. But try not
to deceive myself about his intelli-

had the least spark Of wit akin to our
own-that is, power Of reason-his
long association with man would have
famed it into fame. however small.
But after all these thousands of
years Of human companionship and
love he has less wit in some respects
than his wild brothers, the fox and
the wolf. Having been spared the
struggle to live that falls to their lot,
his cunning and sagacity have deterio-
rated. The same is true of the horse,
which has less intelligence than the
wild stallion of the plains and for the
same reason.
These animals do not grow wiser as
they grow less wild. They do not civil
Hze or develop. We train them into
certain ways that make them service

adding to their mental capacity. In
other words, we cannot cross our in

"If that Is ALL" said Peter, 1--WE will

When they arrived the woman de-
cared that she was not suffering at
all; there was nothing the matter with
her.
"That Is the way she talks, your
majesty" said the valet. "She Is suf-
fering tOrtures.'
"IIold her head and hands" said the
czar. IL will have II out in n minute"

lnpossibiIisy Of Keeping Awake In
Ridjnq Across Cobb.

Hitherto ] have thought that travel
ing by carts over stony roads and stay
Ing In Chinese inns at night was the
hardest thing foreigner travelling In
China was called upon to endure, but
since i have Travelled with caravan
OF camels have changed my opinion.
The monotony OF the desert by day
and the bed OF camel's saddle at night,
the evil smell Of camels and the slow
ness OF their drivers and the acrid
choking OF the little fire on which ones
food Is cooked-none OF these things Is
so trying TO the foreigners as the sleep
iDess which attacks one In this high
region. This TO me was real torture.
Travelling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
TO sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs,
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness IL the worst thing ! have
endured.
You sit on your horse and I'm spite OF
every effort, fall asleep. Presently you
wake up and find yourself on the
ground. with your horse standing be-
wildered ut your side, wondering
whether you are alive or dead. Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking bit TO the camel
drivers, but you soon find that they
are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
words are exchanged, and then you
are too tired to open your mouth to
talk or even to think of anything but
sleep, sweet sleep. Oh, for Just few
minutes there at the roadside In the
soft sand! But, no: you must go on
and fight against this desire. II is too
dangerous to sleep by the roadside on
the ground. The caravan cannot wait.
and your servant would not watch
over you. He would soon fall asleep
like yourself The wolves would then
have an easy time.
Yet I'm spite OF all this reasoning you
feel as II you were drawn to the
ground by the power of thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleep
again. Suddenly your watchful horse
whose relns you have kept slung
around your neck-this Is wise thing
to do-pulls up, starts and jerks you
wide awake. You jump up, not know
ing where you are for some seconds.
but you see your horse trembling and
realize that danger Is near.
For few minutes you are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed
You jump on your horse and catch up
with the caravan, which has gone
few II "a II Is Goa yards ahead.
After another ten II or so sleep creeps
on again like n huge boa constructor
embracing you In Its Irresistible grasp.
The same fight has then to be fought
over again. Then at last the caravan
arrives at the haltlng place for the
night.-North China News.
