In Mr.. George f. BoZall's "Story of
the Australian Bushrangers" the fol-
lowing little episode is related: A man
named Michael. who went to an inn
for food, found the place in the hands
of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests
were already disarmed and were being
searched in order. Michael was com
PEELED to take his place in line. The
bushrangers handed him pannikin of
tea before they took his money. Know
ing what was coming, he held the pan
nillin as if the tea were too hot to
drink, and when the leader of the
highwaymen was looking away drop
ped his roll of bank notes into it. He
stood quite quiet and when the bush
rangers came to feel his pockets there
were only Il few shillingS in them.
The robbers appca"cd satisfied and al
lowed him to go. carried his pan
nikin out with hi.u. took his money
and put it in his pocket without being
observed. Then he mounted his horse,
rode to the nearest police station and

Uses For Baby Carriages.

East siders in New York use their
baby carriages until they literally fall
apart. OF course the primary purpose
is served well and often, as the fam
lily is generally good sized one. Then
the carriage is used for a market and
shopping wagon, being piled high with
potatoes, green's, fruit and household
goods of all kinds from neighboring
stores and push carts. The east slider
doesn't often have his things sent
home. He's not sure he would get
what he had bought Then the little
boys are sent out to hover around new
buildings or old ones being demolished
and gather in wood to be pushed home
in the baby carriage. On other occa-
sions it is piled high with garments
being rushed to or from the sweatshop.
Sometimes packages of laundry are
delivered from it. and, again, it is
filled with coal. When it is finally
Worn out it furnishes little fuel and
four hoops for the children to play
with.-New York Press.

THE PLAYFUL PORP0IsE.
A Sportive Younsster That Had Fun
With q Motor Boat.

Writing of a motor boat trip on the
Black sea, Henry G. Rowland in Ap-
pleton's tells of the playfulness of the
porpoise:
'That evening was a lovely one, the
air of delightful temperature, very
clear, and the sea like mill pond. A
big school of porpoises came over to
play with the boat, and the water was
so sparklingly clear and of such a
CLASSY surface that we We're able to
follow all their movements even when
they plunged to their fullest depth
They had not the slightest fear of the
noise of the motor, but swan danger

quently rubbed themselves against the
sides of the boat.
"One sportive youngster kept getting
across the stem. For almost an hour
l lay on my face forward, with my
head over the bow, watching him. He
was playful as puppy and at last
Invented little game of his own. Ly-
ing across the stem, he would let the
curve of the bow roll him over and
over, presently disappearing to swim
back and repeat the performance. |

ters of the globe, but have never seen
any as kittenish as these"

A LONG DRINK.
The Way Fast Running Locomotive
Scoops Up Water.


Some Of the great transcontinental
engines take OH 5000 gallons, or 245
barrels, of water to be turned into
steam for the next run of two hours, or
about sixty miles. But such d vast
amount of water is burden, and new
supplies are desired Oftener 1t is q
loss of time to stop and let such vast
quantities come aboard through a pipe:
hence some way of taking water while
rushing at full speed is desirable 1t
has been found. How?
III you make scoop of your hand
and swing it swiftly, the hollow side
forward, into water some of it will
be likely to squirt up your sleeve. That
is natures hint Follow ii up. Find a
level place in the road and put down
an iron trough four inches deep, four
teen inches wide and one-eighth of q
mile long. The engine comes rushing
along and, having passed the end. drops
scoop into this trough. There is a
general splutter of water, but tre-
mendous stream rushes up the sleeve
of the dropped hand and pours into the
water tank. When il is full the fire
man raises the scoop or it glides up
the slope at the far end of the trough
and the engine is watered for the next
run.-Epworth Herald

BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
Then Take q Long Think and Mine
Your Own Business.

The other day Il man travelling on q
shore line train noticed, protrudina
from an overhead rack, dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to a friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not I'm the seat the conclusion was In.
evitable that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion and a mild protest on the
part of the conductor that it wasn't a
part of his duty, the suit case was put
off at the next station, with instruc.
tions to send 1t back on the first train
the other way.
The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long. The face of his
friend, who had been in the smoker
and who happened on that particular
afternoon to be going ON to New Lon.
don TO attend a dinner party-loomed
before him.
The moral of this is, of course, quite
evident
Be sure you're right and then mind

Phenomena of Heredity.

1t is one of the phenomena of hered-

father was-if Il shoemaker, then a
shoemaker; if an ironworker, then an

then an artisan in that line-and the
father and mother who have come to
hate the smell of leather or the CRIME
Of the smithy, the oil waste of the ma
chine or the sweat of downright hard

They Were Not Uncommon In the Old
Days In England.
Frequent cases of card playing oc-
CURED in churches in olden days in the
high or curtained family pews that
were to be found in several parts Of
England.
A case of card playing was men
toned by the poet Crabbe as having
occurred I'm one of those pews in Trow-
bridge parish church. Mr.. Beresford
Hope stated that card playing was not
uncommon in churches having cur
tained pews, where those occupying
them were screened from the observa-
ton OF the rest of the congregation
and that one of the Georges is credit
ed with taking part at game of whist
in the church he attended.
The church at Little Stanmore, in
Middlesex, has a luxurious room pew
which is approached hy special door
and staircase.
