Animals That Weep.

"He cried like calf is a remark
sometimes heard. 1t Is no disgrace fol
a calf to cry, and he sheds tears In
quantities when his emotions justify
them. 1t Is even easier for him to CRY
than for many other animals, because
his lachrymal apparatus is perfect and
very productive.
A scientific writer In Nature says
that the ruminants are the animals
which weep most readily. Hunt
ers have long known that a deer al
bay cries profusely. The tears VII

The big, tender eyes Of the giraffe FL
with tears as he looks at the hunter
who has wounded him.
Dogs weep very easily. The dog has
tears both in his eyes and voice when
his beloved master goes away and
leaves him tied up at home. Some va
rieties of monkeys seem to be particu
larly addicted to crying, and not few
aquatic mammals also find it easy tc
weep when the occasion requires It
Seals in particular are often seen to
cry.
Elephants weep profusely when
wounded or when they see that es-
cape from their enemies is impossible
The animals here mentioned are the
chief ones that are known to weep, but
there is no doubt that many others
also display similar emotion.

A Faithful Doc.

Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens a dog whose faithfulness
has caused him to be mentioned In
history, an6 in the Grecian city bis
story Is often repeated
The dog guarded one of the heather
temples at Athens. One night thief
stole into this building and carried of
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vainly barked his loudest to
frighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went of with the
Jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight of the rascal, and
all through the night he followed him.
BY daybreak the poor animal had
become very weary, but still he kept
the robber in sight. The latter tried to
feed him, but as he made friends with
the passersby he took it from them
instead. Whenever the thief stopped
to rest the dog remained near him, and
soon a report went through the coun-
try Of the animals strange behavior.
The keepers Of the temple, hearing
the story, went in search of the dog,
and they found him still at the heels
Of the thief at town called Cronyon.
The robber was arrested, taken back
to Athens and there punished The
judges were so pleased with the dogs
sagacity and faithfulness that they
ordered him to be fed every day for
the rest of his life at the public ex-
nanae

Chess Word Wanderers.

An interesting set Of word wander
ers clusters about the game Of chess.
"Shah," the Persian word for king,
was corrupted In French to "eschec,"
which has been transferred into Eng
fish as "check." Our verb and noun
check, In most of the common uses,
has arisen from the cry Of Check
literally ''Kingr' or Look out for your
kingP'-which is given when player
puts his opponents king In danger.
When a player has put his opponents
king in such condition that he can
not be rescued he cries "Checkmatev'

chessboard was called In old French
an "eschequier." From this word are
derived our checker" both verb and

other game played on the same kind

y. Mas Slow.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling q
story Of a lawyer who desired the nom
nation for county judge. On the
morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was to
meet he applied to the livery stable
keeper in his village for horse and
buggy in which to drive to the county
town, sixteen miles distant, where the
convention was to be held. "Give me
the best and the fastest horse you
have, SAM" said he, 80 that I will
have time to go around and see the
boys before the convention comes in
The liveryman, however. was sup
porting a rival candidate and gave the
lawyer a horse which outwardly ap-
peared perfect, but which broke down
entirely before half the journey was
completed, so that when the candt
date arrived the convention had adj
journed and his rival had been nomi-
mated
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that II
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect to sell him to an undertaken
for a hearse horse, don't your Well
it's time wasted l know from his
gait that you have spent days train
ing him to pull hearse, but he'll
prove a dead failure. Why, he's SC
slow he couldn't get corpse to the
cemetery in time for the resurrection.

Queen Catherine obtained pins from
France, and In 1913 an act was passed
"That no person shall put to sale any
pinnes but only such as shall be double
headed and have the heads soldered
fast to the shank Of the pinnes, well
smoothed, the shank well shapen, the
points well round fled, cauted and
sharpened."
At this time most pins were made OF
brass, but many were also made OF
iron. with a brass surface. France
sent a large number Of pins to Eng
land until about the year 1925. In this
year one John Tilsby started pinmak
ing in Worcestershire. So successful
was his venture that he soon had
1900 persons working. These pins
made at Stroud were held in high re-
pute. In 1885 pinmakers combined and
founded corporation. The industry
was carried on at Bristol and Biz
mingham, the latter becoming the chief
center.-London Standard.

rha Fairy Hounds.

In some years stoats appear to be
more numerous than In others, and
they are seen not IN ones and twos,
but In dozens, hunting together In
small packs. The late q. T. Booth Of
Brighton, when shooting in East
Lothian one autumn, met a pack OF
stoats which attacked terrier he had
with him and would not be driven of
until he and the dog between them
had killed more than a dozen. Stoats
will hunt together from scent and In
full cry like pack of hounds, one al
ways keeping the line and followed
closely by the others. This sight has
been recorded by different observers,
who have also seen weasels hunting In
the same way. There is a popular no
ton in the west Of England that hares
are hunted at night by packs Of little
fairy hounds, locally called dandy
dogs" and these are said to be wea-
sells, which the west country folks call
fairies pronouncing the word
"vairy" and "vair." Some Of them de-
clare that they have seen and watched
the chase with awe.-London Graphic.

The difference between a O'Clock
tea and a German Kaffeeklatsch is
enormous The tea is a pleasant go

ance our teacups In hand perilously
handicapped by our multitudinous pos
sessions, augmented by the frail sau-
Ger on which top heavy piece Of cake
finds an insecure resting place. We
may enjoy variety Of creature com
forts augmented by ices and cups on
festive occasions.
Not so the German Kaffeeklatsch.
That is a ponderous affair which you
take sitting at tables. Coffee and sa-
worries mark the beginning Of the meal,
followed by numberless cakes which
the Germans know so well how to
make. This is followed by some
creamy preparation or beautiful de-
vice made in ice. This again is sue
ceeded by the choicest fruits.
The Kaffeekanne is meanwhile still
busily plying its trade. There is
well known German song which ends
with the refrain, freely translated;
