Daudet's Romance.

The novelist, Alphonse Daudet, had
determined to remain bachelor, be-
cause he was afraid that If he made
a wrong step in marriage he might
dull his imagination. He has given
expression to his fear in the "Femmes
d'Artistes" and more particularly in
the tale Madame Heurtbise," with
which the volume opens. But, on be-
ing introduced to Mile. Julie Allard,
who loved literature and was herself
a charming writer and critic, his fear
was removed. The union proved q
very happy one, and the picture of the
two at work is an attractive bit of biog-
raphy.
Once, it is related. he had senti-
mental and dramatic scene with his
wife concerning which he remarked
This seems. my dear, like a chapter
that has slipped out of novel"
at is more likely. Alphonse." was
the reply, "to form a chapter that will
slip into one!"

Teeth of the MuskeIIunqe.

Along toward the middle of July a
curious thing happens to the muskel-
Iunge His teeth fall out. A sort of
piscatorial Riggs disease seems to at
tack him. Naturally, he loses flesh in
the toothless season, and his inability
to enjoy any of the good things that
swim about him increases the savagery
of his temper.
With the coming of September he
has cut an entire new set of teeth. and
they are like knife blades set up on
edge in his jaws. Then he takes on
new vigor. voraciousness and aggres-
siveness. with the memory of weeks
of pentup fury and unappeased ap-
petite to avenge And then comes the
anglers best opportunity with him.

SAILING MISCELLANEOUS.

The sailing wheelbarrows of China
are a sight to delight the eyes or an
old salt stranded inland, particularly in
the Shensi district, where mile long
professions of these queer vehicles may
be met with. Wheelbarrow transporta-
ton would be almost impossible In this
district, due to the blown sand, We're 1t
not for the ingeniously devised sails.
Night and day for months at stretch
without ceasing the wind blows stead
lily from west to east at an average We
locity of more than fifteen miles an
hour. Luckily this chances to be the
direction Of the country's produce
transportation. so that the heaviest
laden of the barrow craft are able to
make port with a fair wind. A wind
dead astern." however, is by no
means absolutely necessary, for by in
geniously contrived supports on the
sides of the barrows the sails may be
set to take advantage of almost every
slant of breeze-Popular Mechanics.

They Convinced Him.

There was Russian writer who dis
approved of SO many things In connec-
ton with the management Of his native
country that he got himself into seri-
GUS trouble with the authorities. He
persisted in pointing out their defects,
and at last they got so exasperated that
they decided to hang him. and he was
duly sentenced to death by one of the
governors he had criticised.
Three times they tried to hang him,
and three times the rope broke.
The worried hangman postponed the
execution while he went to talk things
over with the governor.
"What did he say when the rope
broke the third timer" asked the gov
ernor.
HE said that it was just what might
be expected in Russia" replied the
that we couldn't even hang
man properly"
The enraged governor turned in a
fury to the hangman. Convince him
that he is wrong"' he shouted.
So the hangman went back to the
condemned man and convinced him.
