Children TO Let.

Quite a f1ourishing trade is done by
the poorer classes of Madrid, who let
out their children to beggars at so
much per hour. The intending hirer
applies to the parents of a likely child,
the price is agreed upon, a small
amount paid down as a guarantee for
the return of the little one, and the
beggar forthwith sets out with his hui
mar implement of trade to implore the
public charity. The children whose
task 1t is to soften the hearts of the
passersby are required to possess
special qualifications. They must have
hungry looking faces, be first rate
criers and not very ugly, for a good
looking child is more likely to earn
extra pennies on account of its pretty
face than a less favored competitor

Limit of Human Strength.

Experiments upon a number Of men
have shown that a mar 8 feet high

an average, 1856 pounds through a YER

pounds through a height of IL inches.
Others 81 feet high and weighing 1873
pounds could lift the 156 pounds to a
height of 10 inches or PIT pounds to a
height of 6 inches. Other men 6 feet
8 inches high and weighing 1873 pounds
could lift 156 pounds to a height of 16
inches or PIT pounds to a height of 8

Tho Paris Waters, Trick.

81 was in a Paris cafe" said the
American tourist, when there was a
sudden quarrel not far away, and 1
suspended my eating. as did every
body else, to see what the trouble was.
1t appeared that one of my country
men, whom l had not noticed In enter
ing. had dined at a table not far away,
and when he received his check he
handed the waiter a ten dollar gold
piece. The waiter put the coin into
his mouth and made change for So
only. The Yankee kicked and swore
there was a swindle, but the waiter
took the IS from his mouth and held
1t up and said:
"'See! 1t is here. 1t is the coin he
gave me. Is 1t not for him to apollo
gizeT
"It looked that way to me, but my
countryman knew a thing or two. He
grabbed the rascal by the throat and
choked his mouth open, and, 10, a ten
dollar gold piece dropped to the floor.

work the trick, and when | got to
thinking the thing ove l remembered
that it had been successfully worked
on me a dozen times over."LChicago

Tho Ground HOES sleep.

The woodchuck's is a curious shift,
a case of nature outdoing herself.
Winter spreads far and fast, and
woodchuck, in order to keep ahead out
of danger, would need wings. Must
he perish then? Winter spreads far.
but does not go deep-down only about
four feet, and woodchuck, If he cannot
escape overland, can perhaps go under
land. So down he goes throughk the
winter. down into a mild and Even
temperature, five long feet away-bus
as far away from the snow and cold
as bobolink among the reeds of the
distant Orinoco. Indeed woodchuck's
is a farther journey and even more
wonderful than bobolink's, for these
five feet carry him beyond the bounds
of time and space into the mysterious
realms of sleep, of suspended life, to
the very gates of death. That he will
return with bobolink, that he will come
up alive with the spring out of this
dark way, is very strange. = Dallas

OF the profession often preferred the

IN conversation with three veterans

whole amount, could trade around
and make a small addition 10 their
income that would help them to five
little better, but the change in the
manner paying pensions has cut
us out Of doing anything in that way.
y don't say" he added bitterly.
that It was done in the hope that
some Of us would die before the year
was out and the state would save the
pitiful sum allowed us, but we are an
growing very old, and many Of US are
going every year and the state viii
