Weepjno Animals.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, A
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain of an injured foot, and camels, II
Is said, shed tears in streams. A COW
sold by its mistress. who had tended
it from calfhood. wept pitifully. A
young soko ape used to cry with vex.
alton Ii Livingstone didn't nurse 1t in
bis arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
cried, which proved sorrow, though it
wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, discov-
ering their young drowned, have been
moved to tears of grief. a giraffe
which a huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face of dy-
ing elephant And even an orang ou'
tang when deprived of its mango was
20 yexed that 1t took to weeping
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep

Two Convincina Reasons.

Lord Peterborough, who lived In the
reign of Queen Anne. was very frolic-
some, and one day, seeing from his
carriage a dancing master with pearl
colored stockings lightly stepping over
the broad stones and picking his way
in extremely dirty weather, he alight-
ed and ran after him with drawn
sword In order to drive him into the
mud, but into which he Of course fol-
lowed himself. This nobleman was
once taken for the Duke Of Marlbor-
ough and was mobbed in consequence.
The duke was then in disgrace with
the people, and Lord Peterborough
was about to be roughly handled.
Turning to them, he said:
Gentlemen, l can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke Of
Marlborough. In the first place, have
only guineas in my pocket, and, In
the second. they are heartily at your
service"

fortably full when it was hailed by a
lnboring man much the worse for llq.

car Between two rows of well dressed
people regardless of polished shoes

Murmurs and complaints arose on all
sides, and demands were heard that
the offender should be elected at once.
But amid the storm of abuse one
friendly voice was raised as a benevo-

MARRYING For Votes.

Marrying for votes was a device OF
old time British election agents. AS
the law stood before the reform act
of 1892 widows Of freemen on marry
ing again made their second husbands
freemen and therefore voters. At
election times widows were conse-
quently paid handsomely to go through
a formal marriage with voteless
bachelor, who, for consideration,
similarly agreed to support the candi-
date. The pair were married, the man
voted according to instructions, and
then he and his wife, standing on
either side of tombstone, said,
Death us do part" With this literal
fulfllment of the matrimonial vow
they regarded their marriage dissolv-
ed. At the last election in Bristol be-
fore 1882 a hundred women gave votes
to men.

The Wicked Multiplication Table.

Tho Wicked Multiplication Table.
A minister was hearing his Sunday
school repeat the catechism one Sun
day preceding confirmation when a
boy from the class of small children
ventured to ask a question of the min
lister.
Turning to the clergyman, the boy
inquired in an anxious tone, why
does the multiplication table make peo-
pie wickedT
The minister thought at first that
the child had taken occasion to pro-
pound conundrum at a most unseem-
ly time and was about to reprove him
when the earnestness of the express
sion in the upturned face assured him
that the question was asked in good
faith and required a reply.
"Why do you ask such question,
John? I never knew it to do So" he
said.
John turned to his catechism and
read from 1t with mystifed air the
question. ibid man grow worse as he
began to multiply and the accom-

Anrns and Bible Lettera.

1t has sometimes been stated that
there are more acres in Yorkshire than
there are letters in the Bible. A per-
son hearing the statement for the first
time is inclined to doubt 1t, but 1t Is
true, all the same. Authorities differ
as TO the exact acreage of the county,
one giving 1t as 3,SS2,S4 and another
as 3,771,S43. But the number of let
tiers in the Bible is said to be $685.
4S0, so the acres beat the letters, with
something to spare. = London Notes

Men In Petticoats,

1t will probably be matter of sur
prise to the general reader to learn
that the petticoat was first worn ex-
cusively by men. In the reign of King
Henry VII. the dress of the English
was so fantastic and absurd that 1t
was difficult to distinguish one sex
from the other. In the inventory of
Henry V. appears ''petticoat of red
damask, with open sleeves" There is
no mention of woman's petticoat be-
fore the Tudor period.
