STEALING A HORSE.
A Bold Afghan Rubber Who Had /.

A Bold Afghan Rubber Who Had a
Sense of Humor.
An East Indian officer. writing OF
life in Peshawur IN the early seven
ties OF the last century. relates the
following:
The medical officer Of my regiment
was Informed one night that a valua-
Bile and favorite Arab steed Of his had
been stolen. over the border. gone
forever. he never expected TO see his
horse again, but next day. much To his
surprise. there came 10 him a bearded
rufiian riding bare backed the stolen
steed.
he confessed that he had taken the
animal, but learning that it was the
property Of a hakim physician), had
brought 1t back. The horse had been
tethered In line with others, with
men, women and children sleeping in
the open about them.
How did you manage it?" asked
the doctor.
IF the sahib will give the necessary
order" he said. Il will show him"
The entire scene was reproduced,
even TO the night Waterman asleep In
corner. Noiselessly the Afghan
crawled toward the Arab, treading
snakelike through the PROSTATE forms
10 where it was standing at the end OF
the row. Softly kissing TO attract the
animals attention without causing
alarm, he Gently raised himself with
arm EXTENDED.
In his open palm were some Jumps
OF goor (native sugar., beloved OF
horses, and while the Arab was enjoy
ing these the man was caressing him
with the other hand, whence suspend

Swiftly the heel ropes were unhitched

The joke was that he never came
back! a double restitution would have

Suicide by Swallowing Gold.

Suicide by swallowing gold is some
times accomplished in China. The
following is an authoritative account.
written by very learned Chinese for
the Westminster Gazette. Of how this
much contested form Of suicide Is ac-
complished:
IN swallowing gold IL Is not loose
gold leaf or gold dust that is swal-
lowed. but solid lump OF gold. or
even gold ring. weighing about half
an ounce. Gold is not at any time
OF corrupung nature. but when a
lump OF IL is swallowed and gets into
the bowel II fails. on account OF its
intrinsic weight. TO rise and surmount
the convolutions OF the bowels and
can therefore never complete its pas
sage. After two or three days II there
fore sinks through the bowel and de-
stroys life without any suffering"

Eating Four Hundred Years AGO

-Four hundred years ago eating was
practically confined to two meals a
day. but In many parts the second OF
evening meal was OF such protracted
character that laws were passed linn
iting its duration. Thus at Berne there
was a law against sitting at table more
than five hours. At Bale. from 10
o'clock In the morning TO O'Clock In
the evening was the maximum permit
ted, but the town council was unable
to practice Its own cOunselS OF perfec.
ton and on great occasions finished in
private. In Saxony the innkeeper was
forbidden to serve more than four
dishes at one meal
