Marks of the Beasts.

On every side in the Malay wi1ds the tIaces of the beasts-which here live as sc.s .seduled. as safe from mo1estation. as did their ancestors in pre-Adamtte days -are visible on tree trunk. on beaten game path and on the yielding clay at the drinking places by the hur- rying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an ele- phant las rubbed his itching back against the rough bark of tree, and, see, coarse hairs are stil sticking in the hardened clay. There a long. sharp scratch repeated at regular intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here, again, is the pad mark of a tiger barely an hour old, and the pitted tracks of deer of all sizes and varieties surround the deeply punched holes which are the footsteps of an elephant. -Cornhin Magazine.

very grave that the official manageFF was compelled to call a special meet ing of the board of directors, and he made the call so urgent that two of the members of the board were forced to break social engagements of the most imperative nature, one of these en- agreements, held by Reginald de Puy- ster Hangh, being with no less per- son than the sensational second girl from the end, front row, in the Fol lies of Forever company. Neverthe less they all came, and Wallingford sadly pointed out to them that, while the gentlemen from Michigan and On tarfo and Arkansas were willing to pay the high price asked for the Spec lkled Bass Portable Bungalows, the Speek1ed Bass Portable Bungalows did not seem to offer sufficient quality for the money. Opportunely enough, the gentleman from Bezupk, Mich, a Mir. Bezazzum, visited the factory while The meeting was in progress He wore felt boots, corduroy trousers, canvas coat, a sweater of gorgeous hues and wondrous pattern and broad br1In- Q1ed felt hat As for his countenanco, it was lean and bony, with the most AbsurdIy sprawled black mustache i'm aginable and little tuft of chin wlfskers, which began neatly as if it had intended to be a goatee and ended in all directions as if it had suddenly become intoxieated. His eyebrows were equally black and beneath them glowed pair of black eyes that alter nate1y twinkled with mischief and flashed with hawklike intensity.
 There was that in his bearing and a$oTa ridicule and which made the board of directors, to whom Wallingford intro duced him, take him as seriously as he took himself But Toad Jessop, after one good look at him, went out into the stockroom, where he leaned over a barrel of nails and laughed until he had the stomach ache.
 Well, yuh see, gents, g said MT. Be zazzum in objection to the eompany's product, .T'm a-wfllin' tph pay thuh topnotch buhdanged price fur thuh very best buhgosh portable houses what can be coaxed together, and I got thuh buhjing money" and here he slapped his pocket meaningly "Bu-u-t don't notice from your catalogue enough newfangled doodads, dinguses and hickeys tuh seem tuh chahm thuh dollahs out'n these corduroys.''
 I'm very sorry, MT. Bezazzum,r re- turned Mr. Wallingford, 'sbut I am sure that our catalogues do not do full justice to the SpeckIed Bass Portable Bungalow You must come out into our factory and inspect one that is complete and ready for shipment.
 It was a masterful manner in which to treat such an emergency, and the beard of directors were strong in their admiration of it. The board followed into the factory, much interested, to see the demonstration. With all his suavity, Wallingford strove to prove to him the excellence of the Speckled Bass Hollow Walled Portable Bunga- low.
 But MT Bezazzum was obdurate While admitting the superiority of the article before him, admitting it in such flatter1ng terms that each and every one of the board of directors was pleased until he writhed, still the thing would not quite do

official manager allowed the attorney to talk them into a sapphire funk. Walhngford, however, masterful, re sourceeu1 man that he was, stood firm 1y as rock, defying the attorney, who threatened to put them out of business, annex their private fortunes for dam ages and disgrace them forever.
 Wanly, yet protesting deep if almost despairing faith, they cIung to their friend, J. Rufus, even in the face of the lawyers departing threat to bring suit at once. But on the fourth day after there. came an agonized telegram from MT.

A glass of cold water slowly slipped will produce a greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at draft. In this connection it may not be out of place to mention that slipping cold wa ter will often a1lay the craving for al- cohol in those who have been in the habit of taking too much of it and may be endeavoring to reform, the effect being propably due to the stimulant action of the slipping.
