 "Yes'm," said the butcher politely but with touch of irony in his an swer, that do seem to be good deal of bone, but the animals what's com In to this market now seems to have more or less bone In 'em. And really as animals is built now I don't see how they can get along without bones.'
 That may all be true" said the lit tie woman. and there was wicSeti twinkle in her eye, 'but this morning found good sized bone ic the sal sage. and leave 1t to you, honest now don't you think that is going little tor far?"

Tha 4uzzard In Elioht.

There can be no doubt that the buz gard is the living aeroplane in perfec ton. It cannot sail against the wind except as other birds do-by sheer DOW CT of moving wings-but 1t can sail q: amazing speed before the wind, ai light angles to the wind and can sal within a few points of the wind.
 When there Is no wind Its flight Is clumsy-pot much of an improvement on the flying of hen. Authors are won't to describe the buzzard as sail ing In the sky on days when the earth perspires beneath sultry, stil! atmosphere But it will also be re- membered that these authors invari ably describe the buzzard as being "a speck in the brassy heavens. As 6 matter of fact. that is just the point of the buZ2ard's aerial knowledge When there Is no breeze close to the earth 1t Is always to be observed rooss ing In a tree or flying laboriously into the zenith until it finds an upper cur rent. where it can navigate without l.: bor.-New York Times.

The London Police Whistle.

What is the most powerful weapon a man can carry against the possible dangers of nocturnal London: For general utility and for special emer gencies you cannot--at least such ls one night rambler's experience-bea' the ordinary police whistle. In addi tion to its services as cab caller-one for a growler. two for a hansom-there are times. happily extremely rare when 1t may prove q tower of strength One such occasion the writer can re call. About two hours after midnight in a quiet byway. An agitated elderly gentleman at an open door, which he Is afraid to enter The lock has been forced. and within may be-burglars! Have you seen policeman? No. But three blasts on the whistle and the de serted pavement swarms with them From every corner one arrives, and the house Is surrounded. The home going citizen knows not by what forces he Is encompassed till he sounds that whistle in his or some one else's emer' gency.-London Standard.

When tho Snuffbox Went Round.

When tho Snuffbox Went Round.
 A curious characteristic of the earlier days of club life was the almost uni versal practice of snuff taking and It's very slow replacement by the use of tobacco. It was part of gentleman's education to manipulate a snuffbox ele, gantly, and the possession of q number of costly specimens of these receptacles was indispensable explaining why snuffboxes of every variety in gold. silver, enameled and jewel incrusted. are nowadays so largely found among the curiosities of the collector There were snuffboXes kept full ill every room in the clubhouse. and the fire. quent call fer it by an irritable ole member was one of the hits ill Bu wer Lytton's play Money The sup ply of snuff was made gratis to mem bers. The cost amounted to f20 or ESQ a year. and as the indulgence in tobacco in this form gradually gave way to that of smoking the expend. ture was thought unnecessary Fort nightly Review.
