Reaaars on Horseback.

Horses are cheap in Chile. Accord ing to Francis J. G. Maitland In "Chile: Its Land and People" you can buy Il horse in Santiago for S25 or $50 and for less in the country. In Illustration, he quotes little happening witnessed by Miss May Crommelin in Mendoza:
 Up rode a gaucho, dressed in white. If remember rightly-no worse than his fellows, at any rate. He bestrode n nag, sorry enough, yet still capable, and wore a medal round his neck. or came his hat with bow of much grace. but he stretched out his hand toward the window grating imploring aims. It's all right; he's one of our beggars. The town has so many li- censed ones who are allowed to come round.' said my hostess. looking out sver my shoulder. So, instead of dis missing him with a little Pardon, lit- tie brother, for not giving you any thing some small coins were placed in his palm. 'Dios 10 pagara' God will repay it). was the dignified response. and with farewell bow of perfect politeness this beggar on horseback rode on"

BetrothaIs In Germany.

There are many curious betrothal customs In Germany that are found in no place else in the world. As soon as a German girl is betrothed she is addressed as bride" by her fiance. The betrothal is more serious affair than in England, and is not so easily broken. The girl is called bride" un- til the wedding, when she assumes the title of wife" Immediately upon the betrothal the lovers exchange rings, which. if the course of true love runs smooth. are to be worn ever aft erward. The woman wears her be- trothal ring on the third finger of her left hand until she Is married. and then it Is transferred to the third fin- ger of her right hand. The man con- tinues to wear his ring just as the wife wore hers when she was bride.

Liuhthouse Lenses.

In the latter half of the eighteenth century one of the members of little scientific society in Liverpool told brother scientist that he could read Il newspaper by the light of a small can dle at distance of thirty feet. The second scientist said the thing was im- possible. To prove his contention the first scientist coated the inside of shallow wooden box with sloping pieces of looking glass so as to form a concave lens, placed 1t behind a far thing candle and readily deciphered the small print at the stipulated distance.
 The experiment was witnessed by a Liverpool dock master. He was a thinking man and saw great possibili- ties in this learned jest He straight way adapted the principle to lighthouse requirements. and forthwith the mod ern reflected light, with its miles of reflected range and untold life saving powers, sprang into being.

M.n and Fools.

A man can be as big n fool at thirty as he can be at twenty or. for that matter, at sixty, with this difference. that at twenty he doesn't know that he is a fool He thinks that he Is a god and enjoys the experience. At sixty he knows we'll enough what he is and thanks hs stars that he has yet another chance before going down to the grave. But at thirty-hve he has neither the illusions of youth nor the consolations of age. He is young enough to feel foolish and old enough to know better.-"Curing Christopher"
