Mind Your Own Business.

An old custom once prevailed in a
remote place In England of giving a
clock to any one who would truthfully
swear that he had minded his own
business alone for a year and a day
and had not meddled with his neigh
bors. Many came, but few. II any,
gained the prize, which was more diff
ficult to win than the Dunmow fitch
Of bacon. Though they swore on the
four gospels and held out their hands
In certain hope, some hitch was sure
to be found somewhere, and for all
their asseveratIons the clock remained
stationary on the shelf. no one being
able to prove his absolute immunity
from uncalled for interference in things
not in any way concerning himself. At
last a young man came with a per
fectly clear record, and the clock
seemed as II 1t was at last about to
change owners. Then said the custo-
dian, "Oh, young man was here yes
terday and made mighty sure he was
going to have the clock, but he didn't"
And why didn't he get itY What's
that to your" snapped the custodian.
That's not your business, and you
don't get the clock"

Seismonranhs In CoIlenes

Following quickly upon the recon-

Of America. the Jesuit fathers an
nounced recently that the order had
made plans for the installation OF
seismographs in twelve of their princi-

OF them to be at the Brooklyn college.

Miss Roberta Slower. the daughter of
one of the largest manufacturers In
Trenton, n. j., created a sensation on
Easter Sunday afternoon by appearing
on the fashionable thoroughfares Of
the city wearing hat of her own Gre
alton. 1t was waste paper basket
elaborately trimmed with two feather
busters, an ear of corn, a miniature
suit case, a squash. a pincushion re-
sembling a strawberry, a clay turkey
and lemon.
The streets were crowded with Eas-
ter promenaders, and Miss Slower at.
tracted great deal OF attention. She
was escorted by her two brothers
During the afternoon she called on her
Sunday school teacher and her pastor.

A TickIish Moment.

If to act cleverly on the spot is the
measure of tact. then the man who
figures in the subjolned New York
Tribune story deserves both respect
and admiration: A woman, driving
through New England last summer,
noticed suddenly that her horse limped
q bit, so when she reached the next
village she stopped at the door of the
blacksmith shop. A man was holding
up the doorDost, and to him she said:
"Will you please tell the blacksmith
to come out? want to see him"
After the manner Of the village
idler, the man did not stir, but smiled
sweetly at the woman and, lifting up
his voice, called:
bill, come out! There's lady
wants to see you"
From the depths OF the blacksmith
shop deeper voice roared:
"Is she young, John, or old?"
In the words of the old poem, she
looked at John and John looked at
her" Then, still without moving, he
answered:
You'll be satisfied, Bill, when you
get out"

The Middle Horse.

A farmer, plowing with three horses
hitched abreast. noticed that the mid
die horse became tired and exhausted
long before either of its mates. AS
the animal was the equal in every
way of the other two, he was puzzled
as TO the cause of its not being able
to stand the same amount of work.
He finally observed, however. that as
they drew the plow along the three
horses held their noses close togeth-
er, with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the ex-
pired air from its fellows. The farmer
then procured a long Jockey stick.
which he fastened with straps to the
bits of the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly, for, given its right
full share of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount of work and with no greater
fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the middle
horse-they do not get their rightful
share of pure air And this is why
they are not able to perform as much
work nor of as good a quality as they
would otherwise be able to do.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

The Chinese Sampans.

In Canton 100000 people spend their
whole existence in boats, which are
there called sampans. They are born
in them, live In them from infancy to
old age and finally die In them. Col
lectively these boats form a floating
suburb to the city proper, one of the
most amazing human settlements in
the world. Every creek is crammed
with them. Along the main banks of
the river they are huddled twenty deer
so close together that the covering
of mats appears continuous as far as
the eye can reach. And each sampan
houses a separate family, with its own
big brazier lamp, which serves for
heating, lighting and cooking the even
ing meal. The scene when a really
serious con1agration once gets a prop
er hold in the midst of these floating
wooden homes may be imagined. Es-
cape is impossible except for those
moored at the outermost edge. In one
OF these confagrations over a thou
sand persons lost their lives
