Lord S, noted athlete, once
took a journey from the metropolis
purposely to challenge a black
smith whom he found working in
an Enclosure a little distance from
his forge, His lordship tied his
horse to tree and then addressed
the blacksmith:
Friend, I've heard wonderful re-
ports of Your skill and have come a
long way to see which of US two is
the better wrestler"
The blacksmith, without a word,
seized his lordship, pitched him over
the hedge and then resumed his
work.
The nobleman slowly picked him
self up.
"Well," said the blacksmith, ''have
you anything more to say to me?"
No. replied his lordship, "out
perhaps you'd be kind enough to
throw me my horse" London

Earth as Feed,

In New Caledonia, New Guinea
and in the Malay archipelago the
consumption of earth as food is
comparatively common. In Java
and Sumatra a certain kind of CLAW
undergoes a preliminary prepare
ton, being mixed with water. re-
duced to paste and the sand ana
other hard substances removed.
The clay is then made into small
tablets or cakes about as thick as
lead pencil and baked in an iron
saucepan. When this process is
over the cake of earth resembles a
piece of dried pork. The Javanese
eat small figures roughly modelled
from clay, made to initiate animals,

point. Every one has his faults.
We may make the worst of these.
We may fix our attention constantly
upon these. But we may also make

forgive even as we hope to be for

place of others and ask what we
should wish to be done to US and
thought Of Us were we in their
place. By loving whatever is low
able in those around US love will

unworthy followers Of him whose

Drawn BEAT STEAM.
Odd Contest In the Early Days of
Steam Fire Engines.

In what are sometimes called the
halcyon days of the volunteer fire
department of New York there was
a prejudice against the use of steam
power on fire engines. The New
York firemen still believed in the
work of ready hands and proved
their sincerity by challenging an
: Ohio inventor of a steam fire engine
named Latta to public trial Of
strength and excellence in the city
hall park. The challenge was ac-
| cepted, and the engine reached New
York on Feb. 8, 1855. On the next
day in the city hall park in the
presence of 10000 spectators the
trial of skill took place. At the re-
quest of the common council the
Exempt engine company entered the
lists with hand engine No. 10, the
old ebay wagon" and proceeded to
compete with the Latta steam en-
CINE.
A match was applied to the kin
ding wood in the Ohio steam en-
CINE, which in eight and half min
utes began to pump and discharge
water through two large suctions.
The ebay wagon" led off by throw
ing stream of water toward Beck
man street through one and one
eighth inch nozzle, the steam en-
CINE following with a stream in the
same direction through one and
five-eighths inch triangular nozzle.
When measured, the stream of the
former was found to be 1S9 feet
long and that of the latter 1872 feet.
Again the competing engines play
ed. At distance of about 200 feet
a party of small boys stood in the
street tauntingly demanding to be
drenched. The Cincinnati engine
unsuccessfully endeavored to graft
fy them, but when the New York
engine began to play they fed in the
midst of drenching shower bath.
Cincinnati was beaten by fifteen
feet.
Then a third trial was ordered.
Upon the roof of the city hall $50
feet of hose was hoisted and the
pipes pointed upward toward the
figure of Justice on the cupola. Pull |
ing themselves together for a last |
great effort, the New York exempts
the brakes. For a minute
the two streams remained at equal
height. Then, amid unbounded APP 1
plause, the New Workers sent their
stream clear above that of their con-
testants and kept it so until the end. !

Scratched Furniture.

When the vanished furniture be-
comes scratched the spots should be
gone over with a camel's hair brush
and shelIac varnish until they dis
appear Nothing should be allowed
to touch the places until the appli-
cation IS thoroughly dry. Another
method is to take just a spoonful
of turpentine and mix with this an
equal quantity of linseed oil. Take
a small soft brush, dip it in the
mixture of oil and turpentine and
pass quickly over the scratch. In
half minute the scratch will dis
appear. Instantly wipe off the mix
ture with a soft cloth and rub for
few minutes.

 Thomas Davidson was born in Scot land in 1880.
