In Eorhiddsn Places.

A very large mastiff at one end of leash and very small girl at the other end formed combination which at tracted the attention of casual pedess trian In a quiet side street.
 The little girl doubtless thought that she was taking the dog out for an air- ing, but the big animal himself appear ed to have the impression that he was the leader of the expedition. and, be- yond question, the balance of power was entirely on his side. He dragged the girl along despite her scolding and expostulations at a pace which kept her breathless.
 Suddenly, either from whim of his own or because somebody had been in the habit of taking him there, he dart ed through the swinging doors of a corner saloon. The girl looked horri- fed; but, clinging determinedly to her end of the leash. she followed her charge, and as the doors swung shut behind her the casual pedestrian heard this exasperated remonstrance:
 "0h, darnfound 1t. Don't you know ladies don't go there? It's only placs for menr-Philadelphia Ledger.

Queer Feeding.

"Come and watch me feed my star flsh."
 The curator of the aquarium led the reporter to a tank where half dozen starnsh tripped over the sandy bottom on slim brown fingers.
 Grub time. boys" be said. and be dropped into the tank six mussels.
 The fish ran to the mussels. Each ar- piled his stomach 10 the hinge at the back of the shell. Silence and immo- bility ensued
 'The gastric juice of the starhsh. !" said the curator. Ifs now melting the hinges of flesh that hold the mussel shells together. An. look. there's one melted now. There's another. It's the most powerful gastric juice in the world"
 One by one. their hinges destroyed. the mussel shells opened. and Into the openings the starfsh thrust their stom- achs. More silence. more immobillty.
 Then. a little bumper at the heart. the starfsh went tripping daintily off. but the mussel shells lay open and empty on the sand.-cincInnat En- esfirar

Showing Our Monkey Blood.

The batsman, congratulated on his home run. slapped himself proudly on the chest and began to boast of still finer home runs that he had made in the past.
 "Did you see that gesture. the strick en breast?" said m ethnologist of liar. yard. Whenever we make that ges- ture in our vanity we prove the Oar winian theory up to the hilt
 You know the gorilla. Kipling and Du Chaillu describe him-an enor- nous ape that in his indomitable bra vado beats his breast with a sound like the rolling of the mufled drums of Memorial day.
 "As big as bull. as swift as cat, as powerful as an elephant. the gorilla believes himself unconquerable, and in the vain glory of that belief he iniates his lungs and beats his swollen breast till the jungle rings like a gong.
 We in our moments of foolish and excessive vanity indate our lungs and slap our swollen breasts.
 Thus. alas, We show the monkey blood in us."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

unwIss cembinatlon.

To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jen- nings there was sort of Eisloyalty in admitting to any outsider that native of Willowby could be really eccentric. As for anything beyond eccentricity, Mrs. Jennings would never have ad- mitted it, even in the case of Miss Rachel Gregg, who was frankly called crazy by the summer visitors.
 Now. Mrs Jennings" said one of the boarders, do you really mean that you've never known Miss Gregg to do anything that you'd call crazy%
 No, haven't" said Mrs. Jennings. with firm and unyielding expression about her prominent chin.
 Why. what do you think of her sending that bag of eggs over to the Corners to Mrs. Cole right in the box with her laundry work and never tell ing the stage driver and letting hin throw the box right off?" inquired the summer boarder. Mrs. Cole says there's one shirt waist she'll never be able to wear again."
 Well" said Mrs. Jennings calmly, "I should say about that as I have about number of little things Rachel does and has done. She may lack in wisdom and forethought now and again. But, then. who doesn't. I'd like to knowT-Youth's Companion.
