WENT LONG WAY AROUND
Tourist Forced to Adopt Unique Meth
DDS to Find Out Where Was
His Place Of Abode.

A young fellow from the north of
England, the unfortunate possessor
Of rather treacherous memory, went
to spend holiday in Paris. With a
little difficulty he sought out hotel
and anxious to make the best of his
time he sailed forth the next morn
ing to have look at the boulevards.
Having spent a few hours there he
would return to his quarters. But
to get to the boulevards and then
get back to the hotel he soon found
we're very different things, for to his
great annoyance he had utterly for
gotten the name of the place where
he had taken up his abode.
Further a mere smattering OF
French was all he knew and as
everyone he encountered appeared to
have no knowledge of English the
difficulty Of explaining himself SEEM
ed insurmountable. at last, to his
great joy, he stumbled across a fell
low countryman, who after little
conversation suggested an ingenious
escape from his dilemma.
"By the way" said he, ''did you
send to your people in England any
intimation of your safe arrival last
EVENING""
"Of course I did," was the ready
reply. 81 wrote to my folk at once
as l promised my father 1 would"
"Then don't you think" remarked
the quick-witted Englishman, chat
it would be good idea to wire home
and ask them if they have received
your letter to let you know your adj
dress in Paris ?"
Absurd though it seemed at first,
it was the only thing to be done, and
luckily his letter had been written
on hotel paper. He waited patiently
in the telegraph Office until he re-
ceived the welcome intelligence
which sent him on his way rejoicing.

PAY OF ENGLISH JURORS.

The scale of remuneration Of
English common jurymen is absurd.
In civil case in England a common
juryman is allowed five shillings a
day for ga yiew'-that is, for in-
specting any property or thing in
dispute-but otherwise he is, in law,
not entitled to any remuneration.
1t is usual, however, in the high
court to give him fee of one shil-
ling, and in the counties eight pence.
Special jurymen receive much high
er remuneration. The fee in the
county court is one shilling a case,
in the mayors court two pence, and
in the London sheritf's court four
pence. q
But English jurymen have been
accorded some highly important
privileges, The act of 1870 lays it
down that they may, in the discre-
ton Of the judge, be allowed the
use of a fire when not in court, and
may also be allowed reasonable re-
freshments, at their own expense"

BEAUTIFUL VENEZUELA.

The country beautiful is Venezue-
la. In its perpetual summer he is
only half a man who does not for a
moment forget the needs of civiliza-
ton in the intoxication of primitive
nature. In the little resort called
FL Encanto nature seems to have
gone mad in her effort to Guido her
previous work But passing west
ward, where the valley broadens to

eler must cry, Europe, 1 can stand

illness, hospitality, traditions, and
costumes of old Spain not yet have
worn away. To attend the opera in
Valencia is to be transplanted to
Italy of the early fifties. The opera
is a festival, deliriously old fashion
ed, with courtliness of manner,
grandiloquence of speech. The peo-
pie are pronouncedly esthetic, decor

eULLs AS LlFEsAvERs.

81 wouldn't no more kill gull

"Why not?"
"Why not? Because gulls have
saved my life, that's why not. Gulls
IRE lifesavers. They've saved the
lives of thousands of seamen. They
ought to all wear round their sleek
white necks a pink silk ribbon with
one of them there Andy Carnegie

horn, warns sailors what has lost
their way off deadly coasts"

NOVELTIES IN LANDSCAPE.

81 shall introduce this season, /"
said a landscape gardener, "two nov
elites on the grounds of a Newport
millionaire. One will be a floral
clock, the other a revolving flower
bed.
''The clock is to be circle 20 feet
in diameter. The face will be of
grass, the hands will be red roses,
pansies, heliotrope, and so on. This
clork will work electrically, and of
course the mechanism will be con-
cealed. Will it keep good time? Oh,
the best. l made an experimental
one last week that only varies IS
seconds a day.
"The revolving beds will be a fea-
ture of a sunken garden. There will
be four of them, each about II feet
square, and they will reyolve electri-
cally at the rate of a revolution
"These novelties viii be the first
motion pieces ever introduced into
American landscape gardening"

INDUSTRY OF THE BEE
Little Creature Has 70 Travel Far 81
Contribute HE Share Toward
Pound Of Honey.

When you eat spoonful Of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount of work and travel neces-
sary to produce it. To make one
pound Of clover honey bees must de-
prive $4,000 clover blossoms of their
nectar, and to do this requires o.
100000 visits to the blossoms by the
bees.
In other words, one bee TO colledS
enough nectar to make one pound Of
honey must go from hive to flower
and back 2,75O,OOO times. Then
when you think how far these bees
sometimes fly in search of thesa
clover fields, oftener than not one or
two miles from the hive, you will be-
gin to get small idea of the number
of miles one Of the industrious little
creatures must travel in order that
you may have the pound of honey
that gives them so much trouble.
1t may also help you to UNDER
stand why the bee is unamiable
enough to sting you if you get in its
way. When one has to work so hard
to accomplish so little, it is quite ir-
ritating to be interfereed with.

MEXICAN oYNx FIELDS.

One of the most extensive fields
of onyx in Mexico lies along the bor-
der between the states of Durango
and Coahuila, beds of this marble
having been found recently in the
hummocks at the foot of the noun
tains which fall within the iurisdic-
ton of the Hacienda Jimulco and
on both sides of the Aguanava river.
The most important of these marble
beds lie west Of the Mexican Central
railroad, being from. Peralta, at the
foot of the high range on the way to
Cuencame. The proximity of the
railway and the quantity and beauty
of the marble unite two facilities for
making these beds of easy exploita-
ton. They are not only extensive,
but are important because of their
accessibility.

JOKE ON THE KHEDIVE.

The khedive Of Egypt was lately
entertaining a party of American
guests. He spoke to them and to
others in English, French and Ger
man, and, in the course of CONVEX
sation with a young American girl,
remarked that it was strange that
visitors to Cairo should not take the
trouble to learn Arabic before COM
ing to Egypt. "You," for instance"
he said; ''you have not picked up
any of our language, have you?"
Il can say one or two words" was
the reply, on which he requested
that he might hear them. Pointing
to his pocket, she initiated the whin-
ing voice of the Cairo beggars, and
said, "Baksheesh, Excellency" The
khedive was much amused at the
audacity Of his guest, and entered
into the joke. He put his hand into
his pocket and produced a golden
coin, which he gave to the girl who
treasures it as a souvenir of hel
visit to the land of the Nile.

COWS HAVE TO WEAR GLASSES.

''There are COWS that wear glasses
in my country" said a Russian. 81
once saw a herd of 10000 COWS with
glasses on.
ut was on the steppes, the great
Russian prairies. Our steppes for
six months in the year are covered
with snow, but during a part of the
time delicate, fresh grass tips pro-
trude from that white and dazzling
mantle. The COWS then are turned
out to feed on the new grass, but if
their eyes are unprotected the dazzle
of sunshine on the snow gives them
snow blindness.
Thousands of cows suffered hor-
ribly and hundreds died of snow
blindness until a rude, cheap kind Of
spectacles, made of leather and
smoked glass, was invented and put
with great success on the Russian
market"

BAD WOLVES IN THE WEST
Uncle Sam Makes study Of Them with
Deliberate VieW to Their
determination.

Uncle Sam has been making a
study of the wolves Of this country,
not, however, because that particular
animal is worthy of preservation,
but simply with a view to extermina-
ton.
The losses to stockmen and farm
ers from the depredations of wolves
is very great, ranchmen frequently
losing ten per cent. of their calves
from wolf attacks. Many protective
measures have been adopted, such as
building wolfproof fences, granting
bountiss for wolf pelts, direct de-
struction by hunting, poisoning,
trapping, etc.
1t appears that the bounty sys-
tenn has not proved very satisfactory
and hunting is both expensive of
time and labor, SO that poisoning is
largely resorted to.
The most successful method con-
sists in the use Of strychnine, which
is inclosed in a gelatin capsule such
as is usually employed by the drug
gist in putting up sundry powdered
medicines. These capsules are con-
cealed in pieces of beef suet and are
distributed at points likely to be
trayersed by wolf packs.

REASON NAMED.

One day some Americans on
visit to Wales expressed "a wish to
see a certain old and historic church.
The incumbent was only too pleas
ed to show them round, especially as
he believed it would end in a dona-
ton being given to his parochial
funds. He is as proud of the school
as he is of the church, and finished
up by asking them in there also and
inviting them to question the schol-
ars.
One Of the party accepted the in
vitation.
"Can you tell me, little boy" he
said to one lad, "who George Wash
ington WASP"
"Iss, surr," said he, che wass a
'Merrycan gen'ral."
"Quite right" said the American.
"And can you tell me what George
Washington was remarkable for?"
'Tss, sure; e was remarkable 'cose
e wass a 'Merrycan an told the
trewth."
The American didn't question
further.-Cassell's Saturday Jour
nal.

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

A woman was waiting for her sis
ter in a railway station when a gen.
tleman, looking for his wife, and
misled by general resemblance in
figure and clothing, stepped up be-
hind her, and laying his hand on her
shoulder, exclaimed:
"Thank goodness, Emma it's
youp'
The name he used happened to be
really hers, which made the sudden
familiarity even more startling.
She jumped neryously.
"You're mistaken, sir !" she gasp
ed. "I'm Emma, but she isn't me. "

RECOMMENDED.

'Will yo' give me a letter of rec
ommendashun?" asked Sam, pite-
ously.
Although he felt that he could not
conscientiously comply with this re-
quest, the Baltimore mans heart
was touched by the appeal. So he
sat down to his desk to write a non
committal letter of character for
the negro.
His effort resulted as follows ::
