How to Treat a Man.
BY A HORSE.

When man drops from sheer exhaus-
ton or illness, promptly seize end-board
or a cartstick and pound him on the head
and ribs. Ifthis does not fully recuperate
him, kick him violently in the stomach.
This treatment will restore him, if per-
Sistenty adhered to.
If man finds his load too heavy, and
feels that it will seriously strain him to
proceed, kick off afence board and knock
him down and then hammer him thor
oughly. This will give HIM renewed en-
ergy, and he will make no fuss. But do
not on any account reduce his load.
Ifa man refuses to drink when you
give him water, do not give him any wa
ter for two days. This will teach him"
to be thirsty at any time you find ii con-
venient to attend to him. II is good
plan to ply the whip frequently on a man
who is at work. No matter il he is doing
his best, hit him now and then, on "gen-
eral principles" and to prevent him from
taking any comfort. II his load is not
heavy, oblige him to 60 much faster TO
make up for it.
Tie your mans head back in an unnat-
ural position with his eyes toward the
sun. This will give him zine appear
ance" and prevent stumbling. In winter
remove his clothing TO prevent his TAX
ing cold" He win also dry quicker
when you overwork him. Men thus
treated are much healthier than when al
lowed winter clothing.

Discovered By Accident.

Some great scientific discoveries have
been made by accident. The recent ar
rival of an expedition in charge OF pro-
fessor OF Yale University at Cuzco, the
ancient capitol of the incas, brings to
mind the ancient ruins found in that vi
cinity. DR.. Felix Oswald, in Summer
land Sketches" gives an account OF a ia
nous discovery made in Mexico in 1928.
Don Pancho Yegros, Yucatan planter,
and his guest, DR.. Lewis Mitchell, a
Scotch surgeon, returning from a hunting
expedition, were seeking shelter from a
threatening storm.
They chanced to come across an Indian
wood-chopper, who guided them to an
old Indian temple in the forest. They
lighted a fire, and having noticed some
curious sculptures, the gentlemen pro-
ceeded to inspect the the interior OF the
building. The masonry was covered
with dust and cobwebs, but an application
of wet rags brought TO light rows of bas-
relief.
After daybreak, Doctor Mitchell rum
maged in pile of debris and unearthed
the torso of a little image, which he pock-
eted with an enthusiasm that puzzled the
planter as well as the Indian.
On leaving Don Yegroe's house, the
doctor requested his host to question the
Indian thereabouts in regard to ruins, and
rode away, having promised to return the
! coming year.
He was hardly out of sight when Don
Yegroes remarked to his Indian servant:
"Isn't il strange that we have lived
here for lifetime and not suspected the
existence of such curiosity? Why, the
caballero tells me some OF their country
men would buy those stones for their
weight in gold"
''He gavo me half a dollar" said the
Indian, grinning. "fie ought to taks his
countrymen to the north bit. In the
chapparel there is square league just
covered with empty old buildings"
The don turned on the man.
"Are you mad? A league OF ruins
You don't mean buildings like those we
slept in last night?
"No, senor, very different. The
houses are as high as yours, and fory
times as long. One of them has more
rooms than the tiles on your roof. and
long galleries with figures and heads"
"Why didn't you tell us that lew
moments soonerp exclaimed DonYegros.
Didn't you see how delighted the cab
allero was with one little statue 2"
"He liked it, didn't he 2" returned the
native. al found much better one once
and carried If TO the priest, and he said !
was miserable idiot"
so you are p cried the don. Get on
horse and ride after the caballero and
bring him back. Why, you came near
missing the greatest opportunity youeyer
had OF being of use in the world"
Thus were discovered the great ruins
OF Uxnlal, which rival those of Thebes
and Persopolis in beauty and grandeur

did not occur to Mr.. Courtney to explain
in his letter that this was not old Arbuth-
not OF the farm, but John Arbuthnot, 1r.,
who had made fortune in the diamond
fields.
Much to Mr.. Courtney's aniazement,
his wife did not return. He wondered at
such laxity in so energetic matchmaker,
as he knew her to be. But he made the
best excuses he could, and was relieved
to see that John Arbuthnot, Jr., did not
seem bit hurt-nay, that he seemed to
be more cheerful as the days became
weeks and the weeks one month, and the
month grew to two without any sign from
the absent ladies except renewed ex-
cuSes.
One day John Arbuthnot, Jr., told Mr..
Courtney something that made him shake
that young mans hand very heartily and
then kiss blushing Mamie. Not long af-
terward the three went TO church. Then
Mr.. Courtney went home alone and wrote
to his wife that Arbuthnot had gone and
that Mamie had gone, too. He did not
say how; ;teserving that for a pleasant sur
prise.
"Thank heaven" cried Mrs. Courtney.

She and her daughters sailed majestic

Suddenly they came face TO face with a
tall, dark, handsome man and little, win
some, radiant woman.
"Why, Mamie Moore - shrilled the
three in chorus, gazing wild-eyed at her
exquisite travelling suit OF tawny cloth and
sdbleS.
"Mrs. lack ArbuthnotW corrected the
handsome gentleman, lifting his hat. "You
couldn't have received my note" he said,
addressing Mrs. Courtney. "But as
sure you Cousin Robert and-Nannie, :"
with a glance OF pride at his little bride,
"did all they could to make me comforta-
bic in your absence" :"
Mrs. Courtney managed to Stammer
out something that sounded like regrets
and Cordelia tried to save the situation
by suffering something like congratula-
tions.

laughed Mamie, her eyes dancing and her
cheeks like June roses. Jack couldn't
wait"-
"Wouldn't," insisted Jack positively.
"ThiS young woman has never been
abroad and I'm going to give her a swing
around the world before we settle down.
We leave for Liverpool this afternoon"
And when the CourtneyS were bowling
away in a closed carriage to the depot it
was fully five minutes before expression
was possible to them. Then Mrs. Court
ney loosened her gown at the throat. She
looked apoplectic.

Living specimens OF the aux, a queer
sea bird long believed to be extinct, have
been found on Triangle Island by Walter
F. Burton and Warburtou Pike, natural
lists. who are now making an exhaustive
examination OF the wild bird life on this
lonely island of the North Pacific. lnprooi
of the genuineneSS OF their discovery sew
eral unqueStionably true aux eggs were
sent by. the Dominion cruiser ouadra,
which visited the rock TO land prelimina-
ry supplies for lighthouse and wireless
station construction. The aux, which,
with other curious sea fowl and droves OF
sea lions, some OF which are reported
larger than draft horses, has its habitat on
Triangle Island, and is not the prehistor-

reasure OF collectors, but the little aux.
The find is none the less regarded asvery
