A Reaourceful aadqer.

An English artist while painting a sea piece discovered badgers lair and thought to play the animal prac- tical joke. Gathering together a bun. dle of grass and weeds, he placed 1t in. side the mouth of the hole and, igniting 1t with a match. waited for the igno- minious flight of the astonished house holder. But Master Badger was re- sourceful animal and not disposed to be made a butt of practical jokers He came up from the depths of his hole as soon as the penetrating smoke told him that there was a fire on the prem. ises and deliberately scratched earth on the burning grass with his strong claws until all danger was past. No human being could have grasped the situation more quickly or displayed greater skill in dealing with an un- familiar event

MARK TWAIN STORIES.

 Humorist's Wit.

An Unintsnded Joke and . Bit of ths
 Humorist's Wit.
 England fairly reveled in Mark Twain. At one of the great banquets roll of the distinguished guests was called and the names properly ap- plauded. Mark Twain, busily engag- ed in low conversation with his neigh bor, applauded without listening. viz orously or mildly as the others led. Finally a name was followed by a great burst of long and vehement clap ping. This must be some very great person indeed, and Mark Twain. not to be outdone in his approval. stoutly kept his hands going until all the oth- CTS had finished.
 Whose name was that we were Just applauding?" he asked of his nelghbor.
 Mark Twain'sr
 But it was no matter-they took 1t all as one of his jokes.
 He was a wonder and a delight to them. Whatever he did or said was to them supremely amusing. When OH one occasion a speaker humorously re. ferred to his American habit of carry ing a cotton umbrella. his reply that he did so because 1t was the only kind of m umbrella that an Englishman wouldn't steal was repeated all over England next day as one of the finest examples of wit since the days of Swift.-Paine's Boys Life of Mark Twain" in St. Nicholas.

Pojsoninq as . Diversion.

Poisoning is never likely again to be- come faShionable diversion. as 1t was from time to time in ancient Rome. In B. c. 331. for instance. there was a mysterious pestilence which seemed to be particularly fatal to leading men. At last slave girl gave information to the authorities. and a consequent police raid resulted in the discovery of about twenty ma irons, some of them of high patrician families. busily preparing drugs over a fire. They insisted that the drugs were not poisonous, but, being com pelled to drink them publicly in the forum as a guarantee of good faith. perished mlserably. Further informa- tions followed. and ITO matrons in all were condemned. But this record was soundly beaten in B. c. 184, when a four months inquiry by the praetor is said to have led to the condemnation of 2.0O0 persons.
