Blooms Travelled Ear.

Sitting in his library in London, one
day recently, Joseph Chamberlain was
presented with a bouquet Of strange
but beautiful blooms. Picked over H.
900 miles away, they had Travelled half
round the globe before reaching the
politician in his home. With Sir Ger
aid Strickland, governor of Western
Australia, lies the credit of the charm
Ing idea of sending this bouquet from
a far-off land. He and Mr.. Chamber
lain had exchanged letters. Sir Gel.
aid had eulogized the brilliant color
ings Of the flowers of Western Austria
liza. The result was the plan to senc
collection of blooms to Mr.. Cham
berlain so that he might inspect them
at his leisure and contrast their bril-.
lance with the December gloom with
out. When shipped they were frozen
into the heart of blocks of ice and
packed in special case, and depos-
tied in the hold of the steamship
Ophir.

Bran Bath Worth Trvinu.

One of the latest things for the ner-
vous woman who is trying to reduce
her fractions nerves is the bran bath
just before retiring at night. This not
only has soothing effect, but Incl
dentally softens and whitens the skin.
To make the bath buy ordinary bran
at a feed store and keep it in tin
box away from mice. Make a Jag of
cheesecloth, from IL to 10 inches
square and stuff it with bran until
about as full as pine pillow. This
bag is put in a bathtub half filled with
warm water and squeezed until the
water is brown and hubby. 1t is not
well to remain in the water longer
than five or six minutes and, if pos.
sible, the bather should rest ten min.
utes and then be massaged. If there
is no one to do the massaging one can
rub the body thoroughly with rough
towel and knead it with the hands.

Cleared by a Thumb.

The guilt or innocence of an army

performing an operation on horses
leg at the barracks of the Second cav
airy regiment at Pontivy, trooper
who was holding down the horse mad
yertently scratched Nj. Berland's
hand, in consequence of the horse
moving suddenly. The surgeon ex-
amined the scratch, and then admin
istered sound box on the ear to the
soldier, who received the punishment
in silence, but later complained to an
officer. The court-martial spent con-
siderable time in ascertaining whether
the choleric surgeon struck the troop.
er suddenly, without reflection, as a
person might do after having a corn
trodden on, or whether the blow was
given deliberately, after Mr. Berland
had time to reflect. On learning that
NJ. Berland did not stop to suck the

troopers ear, the court decided that
the blow was not premeditated and he
was acquitted.

A Desperate Performance.

c. G. Richards, performer in the
Christmas carnival at Wilkesbarre
Pa, narrowly escaped with his life
after a terrible struggle. Richards
act was to hang by his teeth to q
pulley which carried him across the
Susquehanna river on wire. During
one of the performances the pulley
stuck in the middle.
The zero weather and heavy float
ing ice made it impossible for res
cuers to reach him. and his hands
froze to the wire when he finally sue
ceeded in reaching it. Never losing
his nerve, and in sight of the horror
stricken crowd of spectators, the reso
lutte man worked his way along the
wire. hand over hand, until he got tc
q point where the ice was thick anG
unbroken beneath him. Here he
dropped from sheer exhaustion. He
was badly bruised but may recover.

HIS HEART BROKEN

Kngsnake Had Seen His Affinity,
Though Only in Imagination, and
with Her Disappearance Went

Dead" said the red-eyed reptile
dealer as he mournfully regarded the
lifeless body of a kingsnake. "He died
of a broken heart. And yet there are
those who will tell you that snakes are
cold-blooded creatures, devoid of ro-
nance, incapable of any lasting love. !"
"Died of broken hearth" questioned
the customer with surprise. why,
that was the snake that wouldn't eat,
wasn't it? l thought you said he was
starving to death?"

er, with sad SMILE Eyes, that was
Ferdinand, the snake who wouldn't
eat. And would that had never tried
to make him eat! Far better thou

an unrequited love.
"'Twas this way. He finally grew so
weak from lack of nourishment that,
In order to save his life, heroic meas

would not suffice. He needed stimu-

forced 1t down his throat.

snakes.
Being snake himself, these ina

they would have you or me. He mere

the midst OF crowd that did not par
ticularly interest him.
But suddenly out of the writhing
mass squirmed the most beautiful
young lady snake imaginable. She was
an exquisite Alice blue with pale pink
lozenges and straight front color of
old ivory.
"It was all off with Ferdie the min.
ute he set eyes on her. Head erect
tongue a-quiver, he gracefully glided
toward her
H-h-hhh!' he Kissed fervently.
H-h-hhh!' she answered family

For the next three hours Ferdie
was in snake heaven. But then the
effects OF the alcohol began to veal
