M. CARNEGIE,s JOKE.

Andrew Carnegie" said Pittsbure
millionaire, enjoys a joke hugely. One
OF his jokes made me laugh on my last
visit TO Sl1ibo Castle.
MI Carnegie was entertaining at
the time a Montenegran prince The
morning after the princes arrival we
set out in huge motor-car for a long
run. and as we whizzed past an inn a
great crowd of Highlanders rose from
the benches before the inn and saluted
us.
The prince seemed amazed at the
Highland dress.
Why he asked, do these men 20
bare-legged?"
1T is a local custom, said Mr..
Carnegie, a mark Of respect for you.

CROSS PURPOSES.

Marshall Wilder tells of an elderly
lady in Cohoes, who. besides her deaf.
ness, experienced much trouble with
false teeth. Consequently she was dis
posed to regard this world as a vale
Of tears. A neighbor, passing her
house one day, beheld the lady sitting
at the window. wearing an expression
of more than usual gloom. Thinking 70
cheer the unfortunate one, the good
hearted neighbor screamed at the top
of her voice:
Good morning, Mrs. Blank. Fine
weather we're having"
Yes" replied the elderly lady, but
can't eat with 'em yit."

the water touches it, when it dissolves

FIGHTING THE WHITE ANTS.
All the way from here to the Hambesi
river the telegraph poles and the rail-
road ties are of steel. The ties are
hollow steel shell about seven feet
long with clamps into which the rails
arc fitted. In order to show just how
they look | had a native stand tie

upon end and photographed it. The
man is fully six feet in height and the
tie reaches more than a foot above him.
All of the railroad stations are made
of galvanized iron, and in the huts here
at Broken Hills almost no wood Is
used. This is necessary on account
of the white ants which iufest the re-
gions north of the Zambesi. They live
upon wood and they burrow into the
railroad ties and eat away until moth
ing but a shell is left. When wooden
telegraph poles are erected they chew
them to pieces SO that the wires fall to
the ground
