Sense and Seosibility.

For some days the dining room had
been disturbed by the invasion of the
new boarder She was fat, fifty and
very sentimental, and her tender ma
ture led her to whisper so many rap
turous condolences in her neighbor's
ear that all the rest of the table felt
uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that
one day after harassed breakfast
the neighbor determined to make a
struggle for liberty and general con-
versation. Her opportunity came that
night at dinner.
Sweet flowers Of spring! murmured
the sentimentalist, apostrophizing the
nodding daffodil centerpiece. Aren't
they dear? So full of poesy! And
don't you think that we ought always
TO call them daffadowndillies instead
of daffodils" she whispered.

Dor uncompromisingly and quite out

Self Control.

The self control of the Japanese,
even in times of the utmost stress,
and their courtesy, which begets quiet
ness and discretion, are both brought
out by a writer in st. Paurs Maya
zine.
"Cry. 1t will do you good" / said
once to a poor Japanese woman who,
crouching beside her dying husband,
was controlling herself with an effort
that would, feared, make her i'll.
She laid her little slim brown finger
upon her trembling red lip and shook
her head then whispered. at might
disturb him."
"Cry, 1t will do you good" i said
the next day, when the man was dead
and she seemed almost PROSTATE with
grief and overenforced self control.
'It would be most rude to make a
hideous noise before the sacred dead"
came the soft reply.

Horse or Beef2

The first day horse was served out at
Kimberley some of it was cooked for
the officers mess at the mounted camp.
At the table Peakman said:
Gentlemen. | am sorry to say that
we were unable to get all our ration In
beef today and had to take part II 1t
in horse6esh. This which l am carv-
ing is beef; the horse is at the other
end, and any one who prefers 1t can
help himself"
Nobody did prefer 1t, and so they all
ate beef and made good dinner.
When they had finished Peakman sud
denly exclaimed:
'By Jove. gentlemen, find ! have
made mistake in the joints. This Is
the horsefesh and the other is beef"
1t was just a dodge of his to get
them started on the horsefesh.-Diary

lANDES SHEPHERDS.
French Peasants Who Are Experts In
Walking on Stills.

French Peasants Who Are Experts IN
Walking on Stills.
There is vast district in France
where the entire community goes
about and transacts its business on
stilts. This district is called "Les
Iandes."
The Inhabitants, who are among tn,
poorest peasants in France, gain then
subsistence by fishing, by such little
agriculture as is possible and by keep
ing cows and sheep. The shepherds
make use of their stills for two pur-
poses-first, because walking is quite
impossible on account of the sage and
nndergrowth of brush, and, second,
because the height of their stills gives
them greater range of vision.
The stills generally are about six or
seven feet high. Near the top there is
a support for the foot, which has a
strong stirrup and strap, and still
nearer the top a band of leather fas-
tens the stilt firmly to the leg just be-
low the knee. Some stills, especially
those made for fancy walking and for
tricks, are even higher than seven
feet, and the man who uses these
and he must be an expert-can travel
as fast as ten miles an hour. The
lower end of this kind of silt is
capped with sheep bone to prevent
its splitting.
Some Of these Landes shepherds are
wonderfully clever in the management
of their stills. They run races, step
or jump over brooks, clear fences and
walls and are able to keep their bal.
ance and equilibrium while STOPPING
to the ground to pick up pebbles or tC
gather wild flowers. They fall prone
upon their faces and assume theil
perpendicular without an effort and
in single moment after they have
thus prostrated themselves. .-Technica

Needle Dust.

In factories where needles are made
the grindstones throw off great quaint
ties of minute steel particles. with
which the air becomes heavily charg-
ed, although the dust is too fine to be
perceptible to the eye. Breathing the
dust shows no immediate effect. but
gradually sets up irritation. usually
ending in pulmonary consumption. In
effective attempts were made to screen
the air by gauze or linen guards for
nose and mouth. At last the use OF
the magnet was suggested. and now
masks of magnetized steel wire are
worn by workmen and effectually re-
move the metal dust before the air Is
breathed.-London Graphic.

Bread and Pine Baker,

The lecturer at the cooking school
sometimes enlivened her remarks with
an anecdote.
"The eighteenth century baker," she
said, twas pipe cleaner as well. just
as the barber little earlier was a
surgeon. Everybody in those days
smoked clay pipes, provided the same
as cups or spoons by the coffee houses.
Well, each morning waiter carried
his masters stock Of pipes, some hun
dred perhaps, to the nearest bakery.
The baker would boil them, then dip
them in liquid lime, then bake them
dry. They came out Of the oven as
