His knowledge Of the World.

collection.

The new minister tried the same
plan. but the next Sunday he again
had to report a dismal failure. The
total collection was not only small. but
he was grieved to find that his own
sixpences were missing.

Scotch Graft.

in the cell of a Scotch country po-

mendous noise by kicking the cell
door with his heavy hobnailed
boots.
The constable who had charge of
the police station, going to the cell
door, opened it a little and said:
Man, We MIGHT pit off yer butts,
and III gle them a bit rub, so that
ye'll be respectable like when We
come up afore the bailie the morn"
The prisoner, flattered at the re-
quest, at once complied and saw his
mistake only when the constable.

coolly:

opened FIRE with double-barreled

down the door of her fathers house

entrance was refused, the door was
knocked in with an ak and crowbar.
Kreitz's young daughter, stood ready
with loaded shotgun, and turned
loose both barrels.
The masked men fed precipitately,

day with the officers at Maysville.

New York,s First Ferry.

The first ferry by means of
which the jewellers on the other
ide of the East river visited their
brethren in Manhattan was a square
ended scow rugged with mast and
sails. The fare charged for horse
was l shilling, and a wagon cost 5.
This ferry was in operation in 1735,
and three-quarters of a century
passed before it was improved upon.
The improvement consisted of q
horse boat, a twin boat with a wheel
in the center, propelled by a hori-
zontal treadmi1 worked by horses.
This was an eight horsepower boat,
which crossed the river in from
twelve to twenty minutes. Then
came the first steam ferryboat in
1922.

Bidding In a Bride.

close indeed that she somewhat i'm

effective gestures. Being a man of
humor, he resolved to get rid of her
in a novel manner, and therefore,
taking her by the arm, he shouted:
''Here, now, is an excellent bargain

pretty and well educated! What
am offered? Come; we'll start it
at 5000 crowns At once there
was brisk bidding, which continued
until an elderly bachelor farmer Of
fered 10000 crowns. The auction
eer tried to get a higher bidder
than this, but failed, and so he de-
clared the farmer to be the pur-
chaser of the girl. All those pres

but it was more than that, for a
few days later the farmer and the
girl were married in the presence of
the mayor, and before the ceremony
the farmer presented the young

crowns, the exact amount which he
was willing to pay for her at auc-

Sausage.

Sausage has even from very early
times been popular table delicacy.
Aristophanes was familiar with it.
and in Roman days the sausages of
Lucania were in high esteem. They
were made from pork and the nuts
OF the stone pine, favored with
bay leaves and other things more
familiar. Bologna was celebrated
for its sausages long before the
German sausage had even thought
of invading the rest of the world,
and until quite lately it was com
monty called in England a '<po-

THE sTEALTHY TIGER.
When He Moves Quietly Death Does
Not Seem More Silent.

] have seen tiger, sitting up q
hundred yards from me IN the sun
light washing his face like a cat,
move u couple of steps into the
shade and fade away ike the Chesh-s
ire cat IN sAIiee In Wonderland. .
But what is more extraordinary IS
that he can "moye without some
dry leaf or stalk cracking to be-
tray" him. Often In beat IN the
middle of the hot season the mex
perienced sportsman's heart is In
his mouth as he hears the crushing
of c dead leaf, the slow, stealthy
tread of what seems some heavy
animal, but it Is only ~moa,D the
peacock, the first to move ahead Of
the beaters. Then after periodiof
strained watching, when the eye
can and does detect the move Of
the finest bird, the culver of a
leaf, suddenly without sound. the
great beast stands before you. He.
does not always care to move quiet
", but when he does death is not
more silent.
The question of how a white or
otherwise abnormaiiy marked tiger
can take its prey is simpifed by
the fact that, as general rule, the
tiger kills at night or at dawn, or
dusk and that il is only the cattle.

toll of the village cattle by day.
Again that wonderful voice, the.
most mournful sound in captivity,

The native shikari, who, in spite of
Mowgli's contempt, may know
something of jungle ways, believes
that the deer, hearing the tigers
voice and unable from the rever-
berating nature of the sound to To-
cate the position of their enemy,
stand or lie still and so give him.
the chance of stalking his prey.
There is probably some truth in
this, for unless you are following

MENACE OF IcEBERGs.
One Danger of Sea Against Which
Wireless Is Of Little Avail.


Wireless Is Of Little Avail.
The fear of icebergs has been
partly removed In recent years by
wireless telegrapby, but their pres
ence on the seas is still menacing
enough to cause anxiety.
The government every summer
and fall makes out an iceberg guide.
When some ship reports an iceberg
in a certain latitude and longitude
a little red dot is placed on the ice
berg chart.
1t is drifting in southerly d.
rectior, and allowances are made
for SO many miles Of advance eyerv
twenty-four hours. So the red dot
is moved slowly forward. But ad-
verse winds. seas and currents nav
change the course of the berg, and
this sort of reckoning may prove
all wrong.
Later another ship reports the
same or another iceberg in differ
ent place, says Harper's Weekly.
More red dots appear on the chart,
and as the season advances the dan
ger points increase. These charts
are issued as warnings to mariners.
Ships sailing in certain northern
ATTITUDES must study the location
of the icebergs, and for the sake of
safety the captains provide them
selves with duplicates of the charts.
Icebergs are dangerous obstruc-
tons to navigation on clear, dark
nights as well as in times of fog.
They carry no lights, and they can
not be detected in the dark until
close upon a ship.
Experienced sea captains possess
a certain instinct for detecting the
presence of icebergs. Some cap
:tains claim that they can smell an
iceberg miles away. Something in
the atmosphere warns them of the
danger, and they double the watch
and reduce speed until out of the
danger zone. Then, again, when
near an iceberg the air grows sud
denly cold and chilly, and some
times there is a drop of several de-
grees in the temperature.
Many unaccounted disappear
ances of ships and steamers are at
tributed to collisions with icebergs,
ships and all on board going to the
bottom without so much as a rem
nant left to tell the tale.
