What Killed the Adiutant?

A good story from the reglmental
journal of the Fighting Fifth" con-
Germs Colonel (then Captain FitzROy
and dates back to 1860 FitzRoy was
possessed of an air gun, and one after
noon he took shot at an adjutant, a
bird which, being an excellent scaven-
ger, is protected from injury by fine
of 100 rupees. Several people saw the
bird fall, but heard no report. There
was, of course, hubbub, and court
of inquiry was ordered to investigate
the birds death.
As luck would have it, FltzRoy was
appointed president of the court, the
finding of which was duly recorded as
follows: The court having carefully
Investigated all the evidence brought
before It, have come to the conclusion
that the bird died of sunstroke. -

a Poetic Comparison.

The poet was favoring friendly
soul with his last verses, says o
writer In st. James Budget. The
verses were descriptive of beautiful,
girl. The poet read:
Her hair was massed in flowing curls,
The color of whisper"
This made the listener "sit up
"What's that?" he said. Read that
again"
u thought you would say something
about that" the poet answered. 81
don't want to appear cgotistical, but
that little phrase gives some scope for
the exercise of the mind"
IN what way2'
The poet laughed.
Don't you see" he said, "how beau.
tfully that describes the shade of her
hair? Every poet speaks of golden
hair or raven locks. To be Il success
one must be original. Well, she did
not have golden hair. II was nearly
golden, and | convey the impression
by means of that one word"
The other still looked puzzled.
you have heard" said the poet pa.
tiently, that silence is golden?"
Yes" the other admitted.
We'll" resumed the poet, 'lf silence
is golden what would a whisper bel
1t would be nearly golden, wouldn't
it?"
The poet laughed again. The other
was sitting down and could not stag
ger, so he laughed too.

RATES OF ADVERTISING:
Some ODD Notions.

In some European countries III luck
Is said to follow the person who stlrs
any liquid in pan from east to west.
In Scotland persons when baking Oat
cakes break a piece off and throw II
in the fire to appease evil agencies.
Still another custom in that land is to
make birthday cake with nine knobs.
Then nine Of the assembled company,
when the cake comes hot out of the
oven, each breaks one knob off and,
throwing 1t behind him, says, This |
give to thee, fox, eagle, wolf" etc.
In some countries it is considered
unlucky to give a mince pie to a
gucst-it should be asked for. Like
wise a mince pie should never be cut
with knife, but held whole with the
fingers and eaten that way; also TO
eat rs many mince pies as possible at
as many different houses before
Christmas, 1t Is believed, will insure
so many happy months for the eater.
To wrap mince pie in silver paper
and keep it from Christmas till July
and then eat 1t is also said to bring
good luck.

joys CT c.,inu Fat.

According to writer in an English
magazine, 1t is the fat men that get all
the good things in life. They are con
Quoted to the best tables at restau-
rants, they get the corner seats in the
theater and always seem to have
enough money to get along without
worrying. When fat man enters a
drawing room, doesn't he always get
the most comfortable chair? asks the
writer. When his hat blows off on a
windy day, doesn't some one always
run after 1t for him? No one expects
him to get up in bus or train to
give his seat to a lady. He would
block the gangway if he did Even
his wife doesn't expect him to stoop
to pick up things when she drops
them. Everybody tells him the best
stories, because everybody likes to hear
him laugh.

The Wearing Of a Watch.

At a meeting of the British Watch
and Clock Makers guild (Which is
the better way to keep watch at
night-lying fiat or hanging up?" was
debated. The general opinion was
that 1t was better to let it lie fat
The vice president of the guild said
1t depended upon the kind of watch
If it were one such as Captain Cutie
wore or anything incapable of giving
some sort of timekeeping, the wearer
should be advised to keep 1t always
In one position. 1t will wear out soon
er, but that does not much matter. A
good watch should lie fiat at night.
The variation of rate between hang
ing and lying is very small. and the
difference IS practically constant, so
that the mean rate is constant In the
hanging position all the parts are run
ming on the side bearings, where there
Is the greatest friction and wear. BY
letting the watch lie fiat at night and
run on the end bearings. where there
Is less friction, the wear is distributed
and the watch made more durable.

Brief, but CRUSHING,

He was very badly in love indeed
and had sat up till the wee sma'
hours" composing the following lines:
Beautiful one. with eyes so blue,
Oh, how my fond heart sighs for you!
Sweet spirit, listen to me now;
Hear once again my ardent vow.
He turned out about three yards Of
this soul inspiring verse and sent 1t to
the object of his alteration with re-
quest that she would express an opin-
ion on its merits. This is what he re-
ceivcd
Dear Mr. Hopkins she wrote, IL
do not like to hurt your feelings, but
If you will read the initial letters Of
your first four lines downward | may
say that they express my sentiments
exactly"

When Women Admired Whiskers.

For ages boards were the delight Of
ancient beauties. The sight Of shaved
chin excited sentiments of horror and
aversion. To obey the lnjunctions Of
his bishops Louis VII. of France crop
ped his hair Ia pompadour and shaved
off his luxuriant whiskers. Eleanor
Aqultane, his consort, found him with
this uncommon appearance very ridic-
ulous and very contemplate. She re-
venged herself by becoming something
more than a coquette. The king OBJ
tained a divorce. She then married
the Count of Anjou. who shortly aft
erward ascended the English throne,
and gave him as her marriage dover
the rich provinces of PoitOu and Gull
enne. And this was the origin OF
those wars which for 300 years raw
aged France and which cost the
French nation 100000 men, all OF
which probably had never taken place
If Louis VII. had not been so rash as
to shave off his whiskers, by which
he made himself so disgusting TO the
fair Eleanor.-New York Press.
