Auction elddina by Electricity.

Dutch market gardeners do not take their produce to the "middleman," but make him come to them and purchase it. They have cooperative auction marts, and the produce is sold by auc- tion run by electricity, at which qual- ity is guaranteed by the Growers O. operative society. At the auction not a word is said beyond the announcement of the quantity in the lot for sale. There is an electric push below each merchants seat communicating with clock face with numbers on it. The pointer on the dial face is set going. When 1t reaches the figure some mer- chant Is willing to pay he touches his push, the pointer stops, and without any possibility of mistake and without any one except the clerks knowing the buyers name, the goods change hands.

Poeticai Inspiration.

Congressman E. w. Townsend nf New Jersey. author of "Chlmmie i'"d- den," told yarn of poetical in> p:ru ton which Is weird. to y3y the lea.t. He was paying his fist visit 70 IIonn- lulu, some twenty-five years ago, and was greeted at the wharf by Charles Dana Stoddard, one of his close per Sonal friends. Townsend had decided to go to one of the local hotels and Stoddard tried to dissuade him, desir- Ing him to live at a bungalow high up Nuuanu valley, which the poet had oc- cupied for some months. He describ- ed its charms as follows:
 "Ed, it's the most beautiful spot in the world. Sitting on the front porch you can look down the valley, over the wonderful Towering trees, groves of cocoanut palms and poincianas, to the sea, with its hundreds of shades of color, from gray to the deepest blue of heaven. And for poetical inspiration I can sit on my back porch, where 1 do my work, and throw the ashes from my cigarette on the graves of two suicides. s."-New York World.

rha Sad Case of Jane hohhs.

Not so long ago a Lancashire road breaker sold his wife to another man and, thought the transaction was per fectly legal because he had placed a halter round her neck, the end of which be put in the hand of the pur- chaser after the money had been paid This belief rises from the custom of olden days, when wives were actually led into the market place with halters round their necks and sold to the best purchaser. It was this custom which led to the humorous ditty which runs: "A jolly shoemaker, John Hobbs, he married Jane Carter; no damsel was smarter, but she was a tartar, Jane Hobbs. So he tied rope to her, Jane Hobbs, and like lamb to the slaugh- ter to Smithfleld he brought her; but nobody bought her, Jane Hobbs. oh, who wants a wife? cried Hobbs; but somehow they tell us those wife trad ing fellows were all of them sellers, like Hobbs."-LOndon Spectator.

Electina a Queen CowI

In the Rhone valley, Switzerland, an extraordinary ceremony is carried out every July. This Is the choosing of queen COW by the cows themselves. A large number of cows,' over POO at times, are assembled in a field to choose their queen. The queen COW Is the one which is strong enough to fight all the other cows off the pasture and remain in possession of 1t herself. The owners of the cows are not allowed to encourage their beasts in any way. The honor Vf owning a queen COW is keenly coveted by the local herdsmen. and they do everything they can in or der to turn their animal out winner. In their eagerness to bring their beasts fit and we'll on the day of battle many of the herdsmen feed them a week or a fortnight beforehand on bread and wine, The cows descend from a fight ing race and are always eager to have a scrap. The "election" of the queen COW often lasts the greater part of the day and is watched by crowds, who come te the scene from miles round.
