A Story of TalIeyrand.

During the troubIous days of the French revolution, when aristocratic heads were dropping in the bnsket in the name of liberty. fraternity and equality. Talleyrand lived and pros pered by virtue of a marvellous ability to tell just the psychological moment to jump or one band wagon and aboard another. -E
 The name of this French displomat has been kept alive more than have those of most of his contemporaries by a vast number of anecdotes in which he figures. 1t was Talleyrand whom Mme. De Stael. homely but brilliant. tried to corner by asking him if she and the beautiful Mime. Recamier were to fall into the water, which one he would rescue. And Talleyrand smiled in his most languishing manner and re- piled:

4ospitabI. crab.

Some species Of crabs enter into curi ous partnerships with other small ami. mals. The sponge crab Dromia vul. garis) is so named because of a trick 1t has of attaching sponge to its back. holding 1t there with its claws until it Is firmly fastened. Since the sponge is filled with small needles and gives of a strong odor it protects the crab from many enemies. In return it gets nour' ishment from the bits of food left over from the crabs numerous repasts. This peculiar habit of the crab is shown by the behavior of young spider crab at the New York aquarium. When placed in tank that contained many small orange colored sea anemones the crab immediately discarded the scraps of seaweed with which it was covered and adorned itself with the gayly colored anemoneS

 Because he has delIcatessen wife" was the reply of his observant com panion.
 The men who were standing up to ten and fifteen cent luncheons in that busy eating place were obviously more prosperous than the men having thirty and thirty-five cent meals at the tables.
 Those bookkeepers and clerks have to get substantial meals at noon to keep fit for their work" the man went on to explain. "I employ six of them-r one at S14 and five at SIP week. I've inquired about their home arrange ments. They all live the same way coffee and cereal for brea kfast. delica- tessen stuff for what they call dinner. seldom anything cooked in their homes their wives don't know how.

Manasn.. Fountain of Wine.

A fountain of wine is one of those historical extravagances which are generally associated with the name of Nero. yet on every July 13 the public fountain of Wangen. in the Alsace wine country. flows with wine. In the middle ages the commune of wangen was sentenced to make au annual pay ment to the monastery of strasburg of 400 measures of wine. In 1793 the pay ment was abolished by the Directory.
 Under Louis XVIII. two merchants se- cured the transfer of the payment to them. by means of forged documents. for E650. but the commune commenced proceedings against them. fin which it was victorious on July 13. lS3O. Since that date q communal festival has been held on that day. and from the public fountain erected to commemo- rate the victory wine flows for one hour in the day Westminster Gazette.

Curious Ways of the Papuana.

In the Girara country. Papua. Il dis trict of New Guinea, where the coun- try is almost entirely submerged. the natives are said to claim descent from the dog. They possess five totems. which are drawn on all their houses. Their villages. are erected on hillocks so as to be clear of the water. and the people of. each village inhabit one large common house. sometimes as much as four to five hundred feet long and six ty to eighty feet in width. The center of this huge building is kind of com mon hall. which is used only by the men. while the walls of the structure are divided into cubicles in three or four floors. access to which is gained by means of ladders. The. women are not allowed to enter the building by the same door as the men. A great deal of sorcery prevails in the western division. In the wilder parts of the country the chief is himself a head sorcerer.

An Education From a Nickel.

 The plucky girl took tine five cent piece and bought some calico. from which she made al bonnet that she sold for 25 cents. With this money she bought more calico and made. more 5onnets. After she had made several dollars in this way she determined to raise potatoes. She did all the work in the field except the blowing. The venture WAS success. and she had enough money to start at school. She did not stop work, however, and it is not surprising, that girl of so much determination was able to borrow enough money to supplement what she made. $. ... .-.... ,.. ..-., .....

The Turk and His Toilet.

Though the dress of the Turk Is elab- crate. he is most fastidious when 1t comes to questions of dress. He gives one hour or more to the adorning of his mustache. It Is no mean task to change 1t from fiaxen to jet black. perfume 1t with rose and amber and soothe the struggling ends. Another hour is given to the dyeipg of his lips and the caring for his eyelids and another in practic. ing his most fascinating smile. He gives the same attention to his wearing apparel. It is of finest broadcloth or velvet and covered with embroidery of heavy gold. His arms and chest are left bare to show the splendid polish of his ebony skin. Grace is added by his capote, draped with great chic. But this splendor would be nothing with out a sword with gilt handle. watch with concealed miniature. tobacco pouch of knitted gold and pistol often studded with precious stones.

Red Hair and Temper.

"Al mankind" said Major Hurst, we'll known English student of eu- genics, may be divided Into those who are red haired and those who are not red haired. It Is n fundamental difference" In almost every case of red haired child the major has sue ceeded fin discovering red haired an- cestor. and he thinks that practically the whole of the red haired population springs from a single red haired man far back in the past. Here are some of his conclusions:
 In order for red to appear 1t must be in the ancestry on both sides.
 A red father and dark mother. or vice versa, hardly ever have red child.
 Two reds always have red offspring. But 1t is exceedingly rare to find two reds marry. as they seem to have a mutual antipathy.
 It is popular fallacy that red haired persons have any distinctive tempera. ment They are no more hot tenn pered than other people.

The Sawfsh.

More energetic than any other sharks are the sawfish. whose shouts are pro- longed into q broad blade of cartilage. which is horizontal when the fish Is swimming in a normal position and
 has both its edges set with slightly curved teeth about an inch apart. The end of this formidable looking weapon is blunt and comparatively soft, so that it is quite incapable of the feats popularly attributed to it of piercing whales bodies. ships timbers, etc. It attacks other fish by swift lateral thrust of the saw beneath them. the keen edge disemboweling them. Then 1t feeds upon the soft entraiis, which are apparently the only food 1t can eat from the peculiar shape of its mouth. It has an enormous number of small teeth. sometimes as many as fifty rows in one individual. but they are evidently unfit for the rough du- ties required of their teeth by the gar bage eating members of the family.

The. Savannah River.

E. No one will take seriously the sug- gestion of correspondent of the At. lanta Constitution that there is a legend" to the effect that the Savan- nah river was so named because an Indian chief asked somebody to Save Anna" his daughter. who had fallen from boat into the river. But the re- currence of the puerile joke in the form of the suggestion gives occasion to say that the word savannah" is a very old one, and philologists tracing 1t to its origin go back to ancient Greek through old Spanish. The Eng fish meaning of the word. spelled with out the final ''h," is tract of level land covered with vegetation, usually grass or. reeds. and void of trees or with trees occurring only occasion. ally. From the savannas along it's banks the river was named. In the level. grassy savanna Is observed some resemblance to sheet" which was one meaning of the word in Greek. Also it meant a towel.-Savannah News E.i '

Turkish Baths.

The proper way to take Turkish bath is to devote plenty of time to the process. On entering stay in the first room, the moderately hot one. until all feeling of oppression has passed or Then move on into the second. the hot room. as it Is called The third one, called the oven. should seldom be used as the heat-is too intense to be safe. It Is best to be content with mild per. spiration at first and to stay in too short a time rather than too long People are apt to think that the more they perspire the better they will be. but that is not the case. and, what is more. there Is an element of danger in prolonging the process.

 The Prospect street fire" Sunday night created some excitement among 8 limited portion of the population. Sto- ries of the affair differ. but the evidence of one who heard it from one who heard about it, is to the effect that MT. B. H. Barss and MT. John Bartle were return ing home from the Pines, and as the night was dark, they flashed an electric torch at intervals Uo illuminate the way. These flashes were seen by Artist w. O. Oarrigan and his artist guest, who had been spending the evening with MT. and Mrs. Gray, on Prospect street, and who carried lighted lantern. They answered the flashes by waving the lantern and giving war-whoop. Barss and Bartle seeing the lantern performing fiery evo. lutions. interpreted the performance as distress signals which could mean noth- ing less than big fire somewhere, and started across the lots to give assistance. They plowed through snow.drifts and got stuck in deep gullies filled with the slush of saturated snow; and the nearer they approached to the signal corps the more lanterns they imagined were mov- ing-one account asserting that they saw at least 75 lanterns, all waving frantically. At one point Barss became exhausted and Bartle lost considerable time bringing him to. Finally. after narrowing experiences, the two parties came together, and when the situation
