Most Awkward,

An old. steady going farmer was ac- eustomed to ride to the market town upon rather bad tempered horse
 One day his man Bob brought the animal, which was especially vicious that morning. to the door, the horse trying to bite and kick and giving a good deal of trouble
 The farmer mounted the horse with some difficulty and began to walk it out Of the yard when Bob. who still entertained i'll feeling against the ani- nal, picked up stone and flung 1t at him with all his force; put, alas, his aim was cratic. and the missile struck his master On the head.
 Half dazed for a moment. the farmer turnad slowly in his saddle. and. not suspecting the real cause of the blow he measured with his eye the horses hind hoofs and his own head and, set ting himself in the saddle again, started of with the remark. "Well, he ailus was an okard beggar" ocfaps.

An Ancient industry.

It would be difficult to say where exactly and at what date the manufac. ture of cotton fabrics began. In com. paratively modern times, says Country Life, 1t has become an industry of i'm portance in Europe. but it has four, lshed in the east from a period too re mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials, for fragments 0. such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civi- lization. and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture In China, too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com mon wear of the people from time }n memorial. Tn fact, everywhere through out the eae cotton fabrics were pro- duced and used long before the primi- tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graces of civilization or in. deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.

BURNT CORK.
The Paste Used by Minstrel Perform.
 CTS When "Biackino Up."

The popular impression as to the ap- plication of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors in general is that it is rubbed on the face and hands of the player from cork whose end fs charred in convenient gas jet. This impression is, however. incorrect The burnt cork used by minstreIs and others is the product of the theatrical 'paint factories just as $ any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the profession.
 One house makes it in the following manner: The corks are placed in three tin vessels, resembling wash boilers, with holes punched in their sides and bottom. Alcohol is sprinkled over the corks. and they they are fired" When the eorks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks. which are kneaded in barrels of water This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water
 When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through a close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff is put up in cans, from which, when the minstrel is ready to "blaek up he takes little of the black paste in his hands and applies it to his face. neck and sometimes his hands.-New York Herald.

"Touch Not the Queen.n

Under this title q Paris journal pre- fesses to give an account of the tragic death of the queen Of Siam. who was as greatly loved as her consort. Some years ago her majesty was boating with ladies of the court in a lake in tine gardens of the palace at Bangkok The boat overturned, and the queen could not swim. She was surrounded by nu- merous personages who could have saved her life, but no one has the right to extend the hand upon the queen. The king alone could have held her up and prevented her from sinking. and he was nowhere at hand. Respectful ly the court allowed the queen to drown.

TIEUS on THE FIRE.
FIRE ESCAPES HARD TO USE

What needs To he taken into considera-

have panic proof fire escapes

Now, in most business houses and IN
nearly AL apartment houses there are
plain spaces in the outer walls, and II
would seem that down these might be built

Such AN arrangement would leave the
