The Mules DeIusion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule and is
absolutely indispensable in the noun
tains. Mule packing is fine art, and
with we'll trained animal and skill
full packer you can safely transport
anything from piano to a bag Of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
in an artistic manner, the animal may
buck or back, kick or rear or roll. but
he cannot rid himself Of his burden,
and he finally gives it up in despair
After two or three experiences he will
submit to his destiny and fall into line
with the rest Of the train every morn
ing to receive his load from the pack
er. A well trained pack mule is at
ways proud of his load, and if by any
means it gets loose he will step quietly
out of line and wait until the pack.
master'comes along to tighten it.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in hu-
man beings also, is the delusion that
he can sing. One who has never heard
mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent of his mistake; but, like every
thing else about a mule, his song Is
strictly original. 1t belongs to no other
animal. No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail.

Mary Was Spoiled.

A doctor in one Of the West Phila-
delphia children's homes tells the
story of a woman who came to him
one day in a most perturbed state Of
mind She had taken home her daugh-
ter of five years the week previous,
after a stay Of a year in the home,
and found she had an elephant on her
hands. ooh, SIR" she said to the doc
tor, "whatever can do with Mary
You have made her far too grand for
her own home. Why, the first day she
was back she refused to be dressed in
the morning till she had a bath; then
she would eat no breakfast whatever
because she wanted fruit and some
serious food first, and, last of all, she
put saucer Of water at her place at
the table and she dips her fingers in
that every few minutes. Sure, doctor,
I don't know what I'll do" and the
woman passed out, shaking her head
as If the problem was certainly too
much for her.-Philadelphia Record.

Maoic and Poison Rinqs.

The ring began when man thrust bis
finger through hole in a pretty shell
and later learned to make rings of
Jet. The ring is very magical. Lord
Ruthven, who helped to kill Riccio
gave Queen Mary ring which was
sovran against poison, and she gener.
ously replied with the present of her
fathers wonderful jeweled dagger, of
French work, no longer in existence.
Whether Ruthven fooled with this
magnificent weapon in the affair of
Riccio or used a cheaper article is IN
certain. At all events, Mary based on
the ring that was an antidote to poi
son a charge of sorcery against Ruth
ven. The judges Of Jeanne dare re-
garded with much suspicion her little
ring of base metal, a gift from her
parents, inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Marie.
1t was usual to touch the relics of
saints with rings. Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body of
st. Catherine, whether she meant of
the actual saint or a relic of the saint,
brought from Sinia to Fierbois. The
ring might contain a relic or later a
miniature. I fear that do not be-
lieve in the virtues or vices Of poison
rings. Our ancestors practically knew
no poison but arsenic, and Carthagin-
ian science can scarcely have enabled
Hannibal to poison himself with a
drug contained under the stone Of a
ring.-Andrew Lang. .

A Trvinu Moment,

Professor Leopold Schroeder was
called to see the Grown Prince Fred
erick in 1887 before Sir Morrell Mac
kenzie had reached San Reno. The
prince, evidently suspecting the worst,
turned to Schroeder after the examina-
ton and said, Il request the truth as
to my ailment." Schroeder hesitated
and made an effort to direct the con-
versation in another direction, but
Frederick insisted. 81 am SOLDIER"
he said, land can look death in the
eye. l ask you now plainly, to the
point, Is my complaint cancer?"
Schroeder could hardly contain himself,
and years after the scene when he re-
called it he spoke Of it as the most
painful in his life. He conducted the
crown prince to chair and asked him
to he seated. Then he said, Your i'm
perial highness, you are suffering from
a serious complaint, and it is possible
that it may develop into carcinoma,
but that cannot be determined posi-
lively at this moment" Frederick be-
came deathly pale, but never for a
moment lost bis self control and smiled
grimly when he thanked the physician
for his honesty.

Payinu Visits In Australia.

In Australia a months visit to a
country house would be nothing. Two
months-three months-six months-as
long as you like would not be consider
ed too long, other things being equal.
Nobody thinks Of dates. To write and
invite you from the 18th to the 3Oth
would be rude. You are asked to stay
as long as you like. Or else you ask
yourself to stay as long as you like. Or
even-to face all the contingencies
you neither ask nor are asked. You
simply go. And, having arrived, you
remain, for the one unfailing commodi-
ty of an Australian country house is
welcome. Everything else may give
out. If you stay long enough there is
sure to be a time when there are no
servants, no milk, no vegeta bles, no
meat but mutton, or even no water.
but the thoughts of guests going away
will never enter the minds of the host
and hostess. Good nature, gayety, in
formality-these are the leading notes
of life in every Australian country
house.-London Globe.

Mixed Pickles.

Bishop Knox once explained that
"Mr. McKenna's sword was an over
loaded pistol which, being hung up in
tight corner lest it should burst, pre-
tended to be dead until it got up and
trotted home on the friendly back of
the bishop of st. Asaph." But it is in
political debate, especially in the house
Of commons, that the mixed metaphor
dourishes most luxuriantly. "The food

Followed Suit,

On the day of the admission Of NJ.
Rostand to the French academy the
author of "Cyrano'' and 'L'Aiglon''
gave breakfast to a few Of his
friends, the guest of honor being Nine.
Bernhardt. The actress was dressed in
a handsome gown, which had been
made expressly for the occasion. At
the end of the breakfast she arose and
in an impressive manner took a glass,
held it high and said, II drink to the
greatest Of French dramatists, NJ Ro-
stand, and I drink after the Greek
manner!'' She then poured the con-
tents Of her glass over her head and
gown.
Two of Rostand's small sons were
sitting at a side table wearing new
velvet suits, also made for the ocea-
sion. In the silence which followed
Bernhard's dramatic tribute the elder
Of the boys arose and, initiating her
manner, said, II drink to the greatest
Of poets, my papa, and also drink in
the Greek fashion," and straightway
deluged himself and his small brother
with the contents of his glass.

A Scene Not In a PLAY.

An extraordinary scene took place in
the Princess theater, London, on the
night Of the first production Of Charles
Reade's great play, "Never Too Late
to Mend," Oct. 4, 1865. During the
prison scene large quantity of water
was thrown over Miss Moore, who took
the part of Josephs, the character done
to death by the warders. One of the
critics, Mr.. Tomlin Of the Morning Ad-
vertiser, rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost a riot
among the audience, and the action Of
the play was stopped for some con-
siderable time. Fuel was added to the
fire by George Vining, the lessee Of the
theater, who was playing the part Of
Tom Robinson and who made most
imprudent speech, in which he prac-
tically insulted every critic present,
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play, however,
turned out to be a popular success
and had, for those days, the phenom-
email run of 40 performances.

READING In Bed.

"Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed," says the Lancet, on the author
ity of DR.. Hugo Feilchenfeld Of Ber-
lin, who declares that in the case Of
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk, the Lancet
thinks that reading in bed is unde-
sirable for persons of any age and
states that Gin the case Of aged, anx-
ious, worried and bedridden people, to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error of refraction, care should
be taken that the light is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
it, and that the patient lies on his
back with head and shoulders raised"

The Law on EstraVs.

Here is some information that
nearly everyone residing on a farm
has need to know some time or
other:
Stock out of the possession or
control of its owner, and doing
damage is said to be an estray.
The finder of an estray within seven
days may notify the owner and re-
quest him to pay all charges and
take such estray away, but if the
owner is unknown he may within ten
days, file the notice with the town
clerk who thereupon transmits a
copy thereof to the register of deeds
who records 1t in a book designated
Estray Book" If the estray is of
less value than five dollars, the
finder must also give posted notice
in the town, but if the value exceed
five dollars he must publish the
notice for four weeks in some news.
paper.
The notice must describe the ami
NAL as near as may be; must name
the residence of the finder and tell
where and when it was taken. If
the estray is worth more than $40
the finder should also cause it to
be appraised by a justice of the
peace and the certificate of such
justice is to be filed with the town
clerk. If the owner or person
entitled to possession does not ap-
pear within one year thereafter and
pay all lawful charges against the
same, including care, it is then to
be sold at public auction. If it is
appraised at ten dollars or less, it
need not be sold but the person
finding it becomes the owner there
of.

The Frenchnnan Looked Innocent.

Some time since, in fremont street
store in Boston. a nervous little
Frenchman brushed against pretty
trifle of vase ware valued at about
SD and succeeded in getting several
score more pieces out Of it than had
gone into it's making. The foorwalker
led the abashed Partisan aside and
politely explained that the broken vase
must be paid for. Monsieur fetched a
handful of small silver and copper,
mostly foreign, from his pocket when
he was told the value Of the trifle.
"Mon' Dieu," cried the Partisan, go
francs" At this he took out his bill
book and discovered fifty dollar ex-
press draft, which the foorwalker in
stantly seized upon, to the unspeak-
able horror of it's owner.
After deducting the value of the
vase the former handed the man his
shange and dismissed him with-a floor
