Old Legends About This Beautiful and
 Ancient Flower.

old Legends About This Beautiful and
 Ancient Flower.
 The beautiful narcfssus is a very ancient flower. and poets of all times have sung about it. It bloomed even as long ago as when gods and god desses were supposed to live on the earth. The old Grecian legends say it was the flower the maiden Proserpine was gathering when Pluto took her away to his dark home under the ground
 Another legend tells about q beauti- ful youth named NarciSsus. His fla ther was river god named Cephissus and his mother nymph called LiriOpe. The wonderful beauty of the youth caused many to love him. but he was cold and indifferent to all
 A poor little nyrnph called Echo loved him so dearly that she pined away and died because he would not care for her.
 At last Nemesis. the goddess of retri- button. decided to punish him for his hard heart
 She caused him to fall in love with his own image as he looked into a stream. and as he could never reach this beautiful reflection he gradually perished with hppeless love.
 His body was changed into the beau tiful flowers Which have ever since borne his name.- PearsOn's Weekly.

Rrsakina- Them to the Yoke.

Edward Lisle, whose :'Observations on Husbandry'' was published in 1757, described the method employed by his "oxhind' or cattleman to break cattle to the yoke: He yoked two of the steers, being two yearlings, together and so suffered them to walk about the ground where there were no pits or ditches for them to receive hurt by. He also tied together the bushy parts of their tails, the reason of which was becarse they should not be able to turn their heads to each other so as to strike one another with their horns or by bending their necks too much by endeavoring to face one another and then striving break their necks." Ip this condition the oxhind let them g. on the ground, if without holes or ditches. all night or. else turned them into an empty open barn so yoked and thus treated them two or three timeS before he worked them.

To RulA a Husband.

To rule your husband. my dear lady. do exactly as you please, but always pretend that you do as he pleases That is whtre your ability comes in. Men are ruled, as children are. by the prospect of reward. The reward of your husband is your suitability. your sweetness. your devotion and your beauty. of which you should take a constant care. Love has IO be fed con- stantly. Always let him suppose that 1t is for him that you wish to remain beautiful.

Tom Browne, the English Artist, and
 One of His Models.
 Tom Browne. the English black and white artist. told the following, story of one of his models: used to have as l model long, thin youth who was golf caddie on Rlackheath. l made a water color study of him and put in a street corner background. Before send ing it to the frame makers wrote on the back in pencil suggestion for a possible future title. "A LOafer." The frame maker after framing the sketch put it in his window until such time as he could send 1t up to me, with a card on the picture bearing the title. "A Loafer-By Tom 3rowne."
 One morning the caddie came to the side door and asked to speak to me.
 There's picture of me in a shop winder darn in Greenwich"
 "Really?" .--.- ,,.-~
 "Yus. an all me pals ave seen 1t" with sudden fury.l ''I ain't no loaf CT. l ain't I'm a respectable caddie, I ham. and you've got to take 1t bout of the winder%
 l assuret9R i'm that l knew nothing of the matter and was very sorry.
 'That be biOwed for tile" he re- torted. "I'll mike yer pye damerges for this. I've been to my solicitor. and e sez e can mike yer"
 In the end I ::xed it up by a little tip, an old coat and a drop of something. Of course l had the picture taken out of the window. The caddie has not sat for me since.

euttered Bread With Hie rhur,b.

Cats meat is the only survival of
 way of serving meat that prevailed in this country before the introduction of forks. for it was the custom in mediaeval times to serve roast meat on spit and to pass it around the table for each guest to cut of what he liked. a method that did not allow one person only tO secure the carver's tit bits. In France one still finds chicken livers and bacon served on small splits. and to the Britisher it always suggests at first sight the food of the domestic cat It is probable that many people continued to prefer fingers to table utensils. even after these were perfect ed and in general use. for knives were certainly invented at the period when Charles XII. chose t0 butter his bread with his royal thumb.

A RUSH OF BUSINESS.

 4a crII E;. Rlaa~

It Game Just at the Time He Wanted
 to Sell His Place.
 One of the ieeling men of Louisville; reported to be one of the richest, got bad start in business. He began by being a photographer, but found that the business didn't come up to expec- tations. He therefore wisely decided. to sell out and start at something else. He finally interested some people in the proposition and appointed time when they should come and look things over.
 He now has the reputation of being shrewd, and that this is not a com plimentary designation only is indi- cated by what happened then. He in- serted an advertisement in the daily papers in small enough type not to att tract everybody's attention and yet conspicuously enough to win consid- eration from those who make a point of looking for bargains. announcing that on a certain day he would take pictures free of charge. By coin-i cidence the day he set was the day when the prospective purchasers of HIS DuSIIt0SS were JO DO lueFe.
 The ad.. as usual, paid, and that afternoon his gallery was crowded with visitors. They thronged in and out, and he could not take care of them rapidly enough, even with the aid of several assistants. When the folks he intended to do business with came he greeted them with crown of disappointment, explaining that he was simply so busy that he couldn't see them then and asked them to come back in the morning. when things would likely have slhckened up. They agreed and went away duly impressed.
 He sold cut to them next day, and it is perhaps sunerfiuous to add that he got more fer his outfit than he would have done if it hadn't been for the modest little adVertisement.-Loui COurier-J JCurnal

In hunting against the wind in open forests more gatne is passed than many hunters would suppose. The an imalS see the man. note that he will pass them and hide by getting as near to the ground as possible. If they scent him after he has passed they evidently realize that the danger is over. though some. mostly the younger. inexperienced animals. then sneak of. Where game is very wild it is often in such localities as have mentioned only possible to approach them with the wind by 0utdistancing the latter. because big game animal at rest de pends on its nose to save it from dan ger in the direction from which the wind comes and on its eyes to watch the side from which it can get no oth- CT warning -''Frack and Tracking" by Josef Rrunnpr

When Frederick built his famous palace of Sans Souci there happened to be mill that greatly hampered him tn the execution of his plans, and he asked the miller for how much he would sell it. The miller replied that for a long series of years his family had eWneI the mill, which had passed from father to son. and that he would not sell it for any price. The king used every solicitation, offered to build him a mill in a better place and pay him. besides. any sum he might de mand. but the obstinate miller still per- sisted in his determination to preserve the inheritance of his ancestors.
 Irritated at last by his conduct, the king sent for him and said, in an an. gry tone:
 ''Why do you refuse to sell your mill notwithstanding all the advantages have offered you?"
 ; The miller repeated hfs reasons.
 "Do you know" continued the king, e''that could take it without giving you penny"
 'Yes." returned the miller calmly, eff it were not for the chamber of justice at Berlin"
 The king was so fattered by this an swer, which showed that he was inca pablo of an act of injustice, that he dismissed the miller without further entreaty and changed the plan of his garden

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
System of Tubes That Run the Lengt
 of Their Bodies,

System of Tubes That Run the Length
 of Their. Bodies. "
 Landlubber animals have lungs, and sea creatures have gills. But insects have neither one nor the other. They have a complex system of tubes run ming throughout the whole length of the body by means of which air is con- veyed to every part of the system. AS they are destined to contain nothing cUard against collapse from pressure.
 This support is furnished by means of fine thread running spirally with in the walls of the tube, much in the same way that garden hose is pro- tected with wire. There are generally two of these tubes which run the whole length of the insects body.
 Many flies. as larvae, live i'll the wa ter. Arranged along each side of theil bodies is a series of exceedingly thin plates. into each of which runs a Se- ries of blood vessels. These plates act and absorb the oxygen contained in the water. The tail ends in three feather-like projections. By means of these the .larva causes currents of wa ter to flow over the gills. and thus their efficiency is increa sed. ....
 The gnat also lives ill the water as a larva But it has no gills; there fore it cannot breathe the oxygen in the water, but must breathe air. This is done by means of q spicade situated at the tip of it's tail. Indeed. the tail is prolonged into little tube. The Iarva floats along head downward. ill the water. with this tube just above the surface to enable it to breathe. After some time it is provided with two little tubes. which act in the same manner.-Chicago Tribune. "+&
