Correct Time In Egypt.

The working Of the oriental mind
was delightfully."- illustrated in a story
which Professor Turner told the Math-
ematical association. He had been
spending the Christmas vacation In
Egypt to supervise the erection Of a
telescope at Helouan. Captain Lyons,
who was in charge of the instrument,
said that he had found that at noon
every day a gun was fired and was
anxious to know how the system
worked. Accordingly he interviewed
the gunner and asked how he knew
when to fire the signal. "Oh, look
ut my watch" said the official. And
how do you correct your watch?" ask
ed the captain. Il take it to the max.
er in Cairo and he tells me the error"
Forthwith Captain Lyons interviewed
the matchmaker and asked him how
he checked the error Of the watch. II

~osnset" Cox, preneunesd the Euiesy
l = anS Wrote the Epitaph.
Adial Stevenson in his "reminiscences
tells some stories Of the witty New
York congressman, Sunset Cox. One
relates how Cox got even with a new
:, member who tried to crush him. and
another gives. Cox's retort to Samuel
]. Nlden's effort to win the dyed in
the wool Republican state Of Vermont
In 1876.
A new member from a sparsely set
tied district entered the house. His
avoiIupois was in keeping with the
vast territorial area he represented.
As 4 wit he was without rival in his
section. The admiration Of his con-
stituents over the marvellous attain
ments OF the new member scarcely
exceeded his own. Only the opportu-
nifty was wanting when the star Of the
gentleman from New York should go
down and his own be in the ascendant.
The opportunity at length came. In
the great speech made by the new
member Mr.. Cox was the victim of the
hour, the recipient Of many compli-
ments much more fervid than kind.
The seven Walls of wrath were opened
upon him. A vast storehouse Of wit,
ancient and modern, was literally ex-
hausted for the occasion. Even the di-
minutive size of the New York men,
Der was mentioned in terms of dispar-
agement.
The speech caused much nerriment
In the house during its delivery. and
its author, with an air of self satisfac-
ton rarely witnessed even in that
body, resumed his seat. Mr. Cox at
once took the door. No attempt will
be made to do Justice to his speech.
The manner, the tone Of voice, which
caused an uproar upon the floor and in
the galleries, can never find their way
to print. Referring to the i'll hammered
allusion to his size, he said that his
constituents preferred a representative
with brains rather than one whose
only claims to distinction consisted in
IN abnormal abdominal development"
In tragic tones he then pronounced a
funeral eulogy over his assailant and
suggested as a fitting inscription for
his tombstone the pathetic words Of
Byron:
"'Tis Greece, but living Greece no
more"
Soon after the nomination Of Tilden
for president Mr.. Cox was invited to
attend a political meeting at the state
capital and address the Democracy Of
Vermont. When the scarcity Of Demo-
Gratis in the Green Mountain State is
taken into account the significance Of
Mr.. Cox's reply will readily appear.
His telegram was to the effect that
pressing engagements prevented his
attending. but IF the Democracy of
Vermont will drop into my library any
afternoon about 4 o'clock I will adj
dress them with great pleasure"

cause.
In a stage whisper, heard alike BY
congregation and pastor, this man said
in blank vernacular:
""Tak' it ava, lad. I'm not going to
give out"
At that period the collection boxes
were taken direct into the vestry.
Down came the preacher from the pull
pit, went into the vestry, brought out
one Of the boxes and marched straight
toward the gentleman, all the congre'
cation imagining that the minister was
going to shame the unbeliever into
giving something.
The clergyman offered the box to

"Tak' what thou wantest, lad. 1t

THE COVETED PLANT.
Just a Bit Of Human Nature In 4
Florists Shop.

Florists Shop.
Two little girls entered florists
shop. So near each other in size were
they that they would have been taken
for twins. They had 20 cents-10 cents
apiece-and with this sum saved from
pennies for some time back they were
going to buy plant for mamma. One
stepped out a little in advance Of the
other when the door closed behind
them. The other was shy, looking
timidly, but confidently, at her sister.
The woman in charge Of the small
shop looked up as the two mites of
humanity paused in front Of her.
"Well?" she said encouragingly.
I'VE want to buy a plant" said the
little spokeswoman. Then she added,
in order to avoid later embarrassment.
1.-The cheapest one you've got.'
"Ah," said the florist, going to the
window, "here is nice little plant
for % cents"
The little sister turned quickly to
the other. but still smiling bravely.
Baby, we've just missed it a nick.
el," she said.
Yet not three minutes later they is
sued from, the shop bearing the plant
between them. and as the woman de-
posted the .wo silver dimes in the
cash drawer her eyes must have
caught their CLEAN. for there was
something shining there.-New York

about them, for. although they may be
counted by thousands and tens Of

with a symmetry that suggests ma

the shore, the principal aggregations
forming the causeway proper consist
Of three projections or tongues known

These singular columns are of differ
ent lengths and present an astonishing
appearance as they stand, an army OF
at least 10000 strong marshaled on
the shores of Erin as if ever ready to
do battle with the rising tide.

new ANIMALS FOR AMERICA
tPropossd to Introduce African Game
Into Our Wild Lands.

Proposed to Introduce African Game
Into Our Wild Lands.
Captain Fritz DuQuesne, former
Boer soldier and hunter of big game in
Asia and Africa, proposed that he be
permitted to introduce into American
wild lands the wart hog, wildebeest,
hartebeest, varieties Of gazelles, the
smaller zebra found toward the Afri-
can coasts, the impala and the oryx.
Conditions in the southern and south
western states, he says, are ideal for
their propagation.
"All of them are fine game animals
and excellent shooting, and several are
splendid eating" he said. "As for the
zebras, it's only question Of time
before they are used as beasts Of bur
den. The Germans have been most
successful in breaking and training
them. l have seen teams Of zebras
in German East Africa working under
harness like so many donkeys."
