Japan's Royal Oxen.

The black oxen employed to draw
the funeral car of the late mikado are
Of select genus which for centuries
has been employed solely for the use
Of the Japanese imperial family. No
other race of draught animals can
show such record of exclusiveness.
The cream colored horses reserved
for the English royal family run them
close, but some of these had once to
wear the yoke Of a foreign ruler
When Napoleon occupied Hanover he
seized all the cream colored horses In
the royal stables and took them to
Paris. The state carriage at his coro,
nation was drawn by eight Of these
animals, which the Parisians called
"les chevaux cafe au lait" Their en-
ployment on this occasion so irritated
George III. that he gave up using the
others of the breed stabbed in London.
Until the fall Of Napoleon the state
coach was always drawn by black
horses when George or his son opened
parliament-London Graphic.

Resourceful.

The resourcefulness Of some men at
times furnishes a surprise even to
those who know them well. A fair
illustration is a certain New Yorker
Of wealth who bought costly steam

but his chief object in the purchase
was to please his wife. Then he found
she did not care at all for that sort
Of thing. and as a result she remained
at home whenever he went of on a
cruise. His wife died. and after a
reasonable period he married again.
Its all right now. old man." he said

The city chap who had hired out as

was not quite able to respond to the

the first morning as promptly as he
had anticipated. He fingered with the

the appointed time and then dragged
himself out. and by half past he
was stumbling across the field where
the old farmer was hard at work.
