 The evidence showed that this plain. tiff kept d sort of old curiosity shop, in which he dispensed "mummies," poisoned arrows. the head of King Ar thurs spear and q genuine manuscript of the first play acted by Thesps and his company in wagon! The de- fendant, a wonan, had actually bought and paid for some of these rarities. but she died after having com missioned the embalming of an orang outang to add to her collection. and for this her executors refused to pay Counsel for the defense poured con. tempt on the mummy of the orans outang and called it q 'stultca mon key

A Horses Toe Nails,

Few persons realize that horses hoof is really tue same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ami mals having toes. The horn of hoot grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly ill unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster ill horses which are we'll groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about ! third of an inch month Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down In from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Ancient. Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London i'll the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds ill the air, but the origin of skating Is far more an- cient An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror, but also cut the dear name of Inge- bord. Skates have been discovered near Snandau, in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion at tribute to a period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at tach to the sandal. Similar skates have be en found at Moorfelds, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree. These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to con- clude that tue European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary Globe.

He Will Bring you Together Again
You have walked in the shadow and
walked in the light,
You have travelled the vale and the
hill;
IN days that we're stormy and days that
were bright
Together you met good and ill.
But now you are walking so strangely
alone;
You bark for step, but in vain;
And yet the good Father, who loveth
bis own,
Will bring you together again.
You are not forgotten, however you miss
The voice that once gladly you heard;
The lips that no longer will stoop for
kiss
Or whisper a comforting word
You are not forgotten, and still you car
smile
That blessings were given, and then,
That He who now lets you be lonely
while,
Will bring you together again.
Your loved one is absent, but cannot be
far,
While safe on the bosom of love,
That toldeth you also, and hope as star
Is shining so brightly above.
Oh, faith can be patient, whatever the
time
70 wait in the shadow and pain,
While nearer is coming the glory sub
lime,
To bring you together again.

HUMoR OF THE LAW.

Jim T. had been stealing coal at
Niles coal yard most all winter.
Niles finally got tired of it, laid
for Jim and had him brought into
his coal office.
"Look here, Jim, )" said Niles,
81 can't stand this. You've been
stealing coal from me all winter.
Why don't you steal from these
other fellows?"
Jim gave him his usual hard
luck story, no work, family hun
cry, cold and starving, besides the
other coal yards were too far
away.
"Well, now look here, Jim, "
said Niles, 81 don't like to put you
in jail, but you ought to be there,
and I'll make this proposition to
you. If you'll agree to leave my
coal alone the rest of this winter,
I'll send you over cart load in
the morning."
Jim, who was somewhat of a
wit as well as lazy, profane and
pilfering, was not to be outdone.
He scratched his head and said:
"Look here, Niles. By Cd, I
don't intend to be bound up in
any of your id ironSlal con-
tracts, but if you'll make it two,
it's a 60"
Niles sent him the coal.
