vor. Some even went so far as
to become spiritually embar-
rased" on their fermented rice

The soft weather during the
past week has taken practically
every bit of snow from the prai-
rie and left things looking as if
spring was going to swoop down
on us. The rapid melting of the
snow caused all the streams to
go on the rampage and for sever
al days the trains between Lew
iston and Spokane could not
operate because of wash-outs and
high water.

a" Marrow Escape.

An old circus man tells this incident
as one of the narrow escapes he had
in the show business. He had trained
lions zebras. leopards, rhino - you
know--and all sorts of beasts Of prey,
but this, he says, was his narrowest
escape. 1t was when he was running
Il dime museum in Milwaukee.
One day mild mannered Russian
came out of the railway station with
n valise In his hand. He was heavily
bearded man and with shaggy hands
and arms like George Esau He hunt

~, "Where is the dime museum"
The cabman told him and then asked,
"Want to ride up?"
''Yes," the bearded stranger told him
quietly, almost bashfully. "1'm to be
employed up there. I'm the wild man.
''The narrow escape" says the ex-
circus man, ''lay in the fact that no
newspaper man heard the mans re-
mark and that the cabman was an
Englishman, with no sense of humor,
who never thought to repeat it."-Ex-

Scorched Table Linen,

When the three men sat down the
Dsader of the trio began a minute in
spection Of the tablecloth. Presently
he put his finger on several little
Ecorched spots.
'See this?' he said to the waiter.
''Yes. sir"
"Well," said the man, lust bear in
mind, won't you, that these holes were
here when we came in? And when we
get through don't tack dollar on to
our bill to pay for burned table linen"
That's all right" said the waiter.
It'll look out for that
The order having been given, the
cautious diner elucidated his remarks
still further. THAT is trick those
fellows have" he said. Somebody
burns the tablecloth with sparks from
a cigar and gets away before the dam
age is discovered, and the next conner,
if he happens to be a smoker, is blamed
for his predecessors sins and Is
charged with the cost Of the linen. l

Dalton's Experiment.

The English chemist Dalton was a
schoolteacher. He worked without a
laboratory and with crude apparatus,
mostly made by himself from simple
materials. Here Is an example describ-
ed in his own words:
'Took an ale glass of Il conical fig
ure. two and a half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filed 1t with
water that had been standing In the
room and consequently CT the tempera-
ture OF the air nearly; put the bulb of
the thermometer to the bottom Of the
glass, the scale being out OF the water.
Then, having marked the temperature,
l put the rodhot tip of the poker half
an inch deep in the water, holding it
there steadily for half a minute, and
as soon us it was withdrawn | dipped
the bulb of Il sensible thermometer
into the water, when it rose in few
seconds to $50 degrees"
Ee then determined the temperature
of the water at the bottom after five
minutes, after twenty minutes and aft
er an hour and found that it rose grad
ually from AZ to 50 degrees. This
simple experiment proved that water
has the power to conduct heat, which
had been denied by no less an author
ity than Rumford.- Compan-

Tho Pictured Cowboy.

recall one picture by celebrated
artist of the east who does western
things. 1t depicts a Cowboy at Rest"
He is lying on his stomach In the sun,
his chin in his hands. His horse stands
nearby, with the reins thrown ovor the
horn of the saddle. Now, n cowboy in
the daytime, well filed with beans and
canned tomatoes, would not lie thus,
and, above all, he would not leave his
horse standing thus. He would pull
the reins down over the horses head
and let them hang, elseWise his cow
horse would depart. l recall yet anoth-
er picture of faithful cowpuncher
who with his trusty rifle defends him
self from behind his dead horse, which
he uses us fortress. The dead horse
is about four feet and Il half through
sidewise-excellent FOR fortress, but
a trifie wide for thin fanked cow
horse. IL would be useless to point
out any detail like this to any earnest
artist Of today. Worse than useless
would II be TO suggest that cow
puncher is the LATEST created thing, for
In art he must do perpetual stunts OF
action."-Collier's Weekly.

An Easy Grade.

Patronage. political, religious and So
cial. has seen its best days in Eng
land. and II is becoming more and
more difficult. st. James Budget
opines. to find material for such a
story as follows:
AT the end of political campaign
many years ago young man who had
worked valiantly for the successful
candidate claimed reward The
prize promised was a sergeantcy in the
artillery. But the candidate found that
he was unable to carry out his prom
ise, inasmuch as it-required six years
service to qualify man for the rank.
He became thoughtful, but finally saw
light.
docs 1t require six years to qualify
a man for lieutenancy?" he asked
one who knew.
Certainly rot" was the reply.
"Well, make young Blank lieuten-
ant, then," said the candidate, with
sigh Of relief
Blank was thus made lieutenant
for no other reason than that he was
not fit to be a sergeant.

A Necessity.

Twenty dollars for retrimming your

we agreed to spend nothing except for
things that were positively needed"

more than fifteen this morning. because

An Artists Mustache.

The mustache was not viewed with
favor in England in the middle Of the
last century. An anecdote is told Of
the late Thomas Cooper, the English
artist, to illustrate. He was brought
before a magistrate in 1S46 on some
minor charge and was described in
the police report as being fashion
ably dressed, with large mustaches." !"
The Art Journal of the date, comment
ing on 1t, said that mo member of the
Royal academy perpetrates the atroc-
ity OF mustaches, a most un- English
affectation." Mr.. Cooper became a
member of the academy few years
later.

They Knew the Pole.

Some years ago when DR.. Nansen
visited Leeds on his return from the
polar regions he was welcomed by a
large crowd Of spectators, who cheer
ed vociferously. Two Of the most ar
dent admirers Of Nansen were cou-
pie of old men, who kept shouting and
waving their sticks. When the cele-
brated explorer had passed, immedi-
ately following in the wake of the
carriage came wagon dragged by
three horses, bearing long iron pole,
which belonged to the electric tram
ways company.
Directly the old men saw 1t the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
"Well, I'll be blowed! Sitha, Bill,
he's brout the pole back WI himv' said
one
"Aye," said the other admirer of
Nansen, "and we t only two ats no
ticed it. There all running after t. car
riage. Sitha, there that ignorant they
can't tell t. pole when they, see it"'

A Bernard Shaw Joke.

After addressing an Edinburgh meet
ing for ninety minutes once Mr.. Ber-
nard Shaw remarked that the time was
a quarter to 10, and he had intended to
finish at 0 o'clock. He did not seem In
the least fatigued; the audience were
also quite fresh, and when the speaker
was about to sit down loud cries of
go on"' were raised on all sides.
"Do you really wish me to go on?''
Mr. Shaw asked. He was answered
by renewed cheering and more shouts
Of go on"
Great was the disappointment, there
fore, when he replied, THAT is the ex-
act point at which an experienced
speaker sits down." which he accord
ingly did.

An Eccentric Russian Doctor.

The famous Russian, the late DR..
Zaharin, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Gar Alexander III. in his last illness,
DR.. Zaharin required the same prep
aration for his visit to the palace as
to any Of his patients houses. That is
to say, all dogs had to be kept out Of
the way, all clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
next room, his galoches in the third.
and, continuing, arrived at the bedside
in ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps in going up
stairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by Yes or mo" and moth
ing more.

Origin of tho Word Mustard"

Our English word mustard IS
traceable to the French "moutarde,"
the origin Of which is curiously given.
In 1882 Philip the Bold, duke of Bur
gundy, granted to the town Of Dijon
the privilege of bearing his armorial
ensigns, with the motto "Moult me
tarde" CT wish ardently'o, in return
for handsome contingent Of thou
sand men furnished to him at his ex-
pense. Pleased with the royal con-
descension, the authorities ordered the
device to be affixed over the principal
gates of the city. Time or accident at
length obliterated the middle word,
and the two remaining, moult tarde,
were printed on the labels which the
merchants of Dijon pasted on pots in
which they sent this commodity all

The Word "WalIor."

The origin of the familiar vernacu-
lar verb "to wallop'' is not generally
known. 1t comes from the family
name of the earls Of Portsmouth. Sir
John Wallop, X. G.. was admiral
commander in the reign of King Hen
ry VIII. Of the fleet which avenged
French raids by burning French ships
and twenty-one French villages. This
was called, in the current parlance Of
the times, "walloping" them, and the
phrase passed into the language and
still survives.
