Russian Princesses.

In Russia the term princess does
not mean very much, for the simple
reason that there are so many Of them
and that it Is never a royal title
All the female descendants of Erinc"
of certain rank are princesses, and
the result is that many prlncesseS are
as poor and of as little account as any

The eoatswain's- Judgment.

1t was somewhere in this wide. wide
world, just where has slipped my
mind, and they were about to buy beef
on hoof for the ships. SO the officer
whose duty it is to make the purchase
took ashore with him the bo's'n, as
representing the crew, to look over the
animals and either object or not. They
approached the first animal.
"How will that do?" asked the Off
Ger.
The bo's'n cautiously approached the
beast, bent down and gingerly pan his
thumb and forefnger down first. one
shank and then the other until the
whole four shanks had been examined.
Strengthening up he said:
He'll do all right SIR"
The officer fiabbergasted, cried:
"But, dash it all, you can't tell the
good points of bullock by the
shanks!'
Perhaps not, SIR, but they're the
only parts we ever gets, sir" was the
reply.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Rhinoceroa a Cad Foo

While easily stalled the rhinoceros
IS a dangerous customer, as most men
will agree who have hunted him. If
the rhinoceros gets ones scent he al
most invariably charges. often proba-
bly, from sheer curiosity, but shat does
not make him any the easier to dis,
pose OF. Moreover, he runs and turns
at a speed inconceivabe in beast of
his vast bulk. Against his massive.
sloping head the heaviest bullet is a
mere flea bite, leaving no possibility of
stopping shot except With n hard
nose ball sent fairly into the hearr
through the chest. An alternative is to
stand absolutely motionless. wheE
with his bad eyesight there is possi-
bility he may mistake you for tree
and veer past. Indeed, the best ruse
in the crisis of any charge Is to stand
fast and still, for even the unwoundeti
lion sometimes swerves in his chargs
and retires before man who has the
nerve to wait his coming. Edgar

A German Holiday.

At Haslach. in the Kinzig valley. in
Germany, Feb. % IS holiday and has
been observed as one for hundreds Of
years Once upon time. the story
teller who explains Its origin begins,
IIaslach was overrun with snakes, and
no one knew how to drive them out
One day a great flock Of storlIs ap-
peared. and they were the saviors Of
the place. In recognition of this de-
llverance from the pest, which oc-
cured on FEB. % the day has been
kept sacred and Is known as ''storls
day" An appointed official known as
the "storll father parades the streets,
followed by as many children as care
to join the procession. Tic wears bis
Sunday clothes and high hat deco
rated with two stuffed storks. Stops
are made by this procession at houses
along the line. and the children re-

Electrical Discharges From Plants

The atmosphere surrounding our
earth is known to be electrified, and its
charges are bound to play an impor-
tant part in many phenomena. Atmos-
pheric electrification thus is. response
BILE for the formation of rain and hail,
and, while fine weather generally Is
characterized by the presence OF posi-
tive electricity, change in the wealth
er is generally accompanied by a
change in the sign of atmospheric cleo
tricity. That the electrification of the
air does exert some influence on plant
growth is inferred from the fact that
electrified plants, under the influence
of sunshine, can give off electricity
from the leaves, and as the air is nat
urally electrified relatively to the soil
all plants are bound to be in a constant
state of slow electrical discharge which
Is made active on the rising Of the sun

The Finioky Hunnor Of Loaohatizky.

Some amusing stories are told Of
Leschetizky. the great piano teacher,
whose comic spirit is one of the pre-
dominating features of his character.
1t is well known that he is man of
strong likes and dislikes. When an
American pianist dozen or so years
ago went to Vienna to study with him
he wore his hair long. habit much
affected at that time by the aspiring
young artist SO greatly did his gen
eral appearance annoy the professor
that at the eud Of the first lesson the
student received Instructions to go and
have his hair cut short. Although
Ioath to part with his locks, the young
pianist nevertheless obeyed and turned
up at the next lesson with his hair cut
I'm the conventional way. Still Lesche-
tizlSy was not satisfied. "There Is
something about you that I don't like!"
cried the professor. "Your ears are too
long. Have them cut off and let your
