A "Primitive" Painter.

Henri Rousseau, a man who used to
hold minor government position in
France, was for quarter of century
the joke Of artists and art students in
Paris. For years in the independent
salon he showed daubs which had not
the most distant kinship with art.
Some Of his famous pictures were a
Lady on Sofa In Jungle" a "Tiger
In a Jungle" "Nigger In a Jungle"
He affected jungles, which consisted Of
innumerable parallel green lines to rep
resent grass: the tiger was painted
wooden toy; the lady looked as if she
had come out of Noah's ark. The I'M
fortunate Rousseau went on exhibiting
the same sort of work every year, and
the painful thing was that he gradual
~ became a celebrity. Sinister humor-
lists told him he had genius, and he
took himself quite seriously. II am a
real primitive he would say. Some
practical jokers even went the length
Of buying his pictures.

Fortunes In Farthinus,

II Is we'll known that shopkeepers
make pounds by ignoring farthings or
by. giving something for them that Is
worth far less than a farthing, but
where shopkeepers make the pounds
banks and the English government
make their hundreds of pounds. If a
farthing is due from you in taxes you
are charged onepence. On the other
hand, you are never paid onepence for
farthing.
The same principle is applied to frac-
tions Of pounds. Banks in reckoning
interest for themselves call any part
of fl a full pound, whereas in reckon
Ing interest for you odd shilings are
left out Of account. Thus for a de-
post of 900 0s. lid. you would receive
interest on 800 only.
1t is amazing how the state profits
by not paying fractions of pence.
The government has special fund
in which are placed the fractions Of
pence withheld in paying dividends on
government stock. This fund amount
ed to more than 100000 in ten years
before being used for other purposes.
AS far as the government is concern
ed, farthings mean a lot.-London An
SWers.

HISTORIC BRENNER PASS.
9his Alpine Gap Is Famous Pathway
For Great Armies.


The mighty Bremen pass is the Their
mopylae of Tyrol. From times imme-
mortal the northern tribes have sought
the reflnements and culture Of the
south over this wonderful Alpine sad
die, first in fame among all the gaps in
the rugged Alpine defenses against the
north, and way which has echoed to
the dying cries of warriors and clash
ing accouterments of myriad Roman
legions and to the noisy disorder of
the passage of many armies through
more than 1000 years of restless his
tory.
Innsbruck, the Tyrolean capital, is at
the northern terminus Of this way,
while Botzen, the largely Latinized me-
tropolis of the south, lies 5000 feet be-
low. Innsbruck is exclusively of the
northland, surrounded by plums, ap-
pies and fir trees, and Botzen, like Italy
beyond the mountains, is in the midst
Of a region Of vines, figs and olives.
Historic points crowd one another
along the Bremen. Guidestones Of the
time of Caracalla and Septiniius Seve-
rus have been found buried here. Some
Of the worlds greatest generals have
travelled this path, north and south,
and here the Tyrolese peasant, An
dreas Hofer, the simple, untaught Aus
TRAN hero, proved himself greater than
one of the best officers of Napoleon

His Little Lot.

There were some interesting episodes
in the life Of Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place Of an A.
ghanistan town he was fired at by
native. He lodged complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice Of the incident, merely remark
ing, "That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating serious matter
with less consideration than It deserv-
ed, but thought 1t advisable to say no
more on the subject. About week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet. At length
Sir Charles said, "Your highness has
been busy Of late" "Oh. no." replied
the ameer; "they are your little LOT"
He had seized all the members Of the
would be assassin's family and hanged
every one of them.

Be Natural.

Holmes says that there are six peo-
pie present whenever two meet in con-
versation-the real A, the real B, A as
he sees himself, B as he sees himself.
A as B sees him and B as A sees him.
The remark comes back when one
goes out upon the street and considers
himself and the other people who pass.
particularly those who seem on the
slippery road to success. 1t IS not they
themselves who go by; 1t Is what they
would have other people think them.
II they are young and inexperienced
they must tighten up their faces with
an artificial solemnity; If they are get
ting on in years they must affect an
artificial snappiness. They wear their
outward aspects like clothes.
One feels like crying in the ears Of
young men: "Be natural. Live or die,
sink or swim, survive or perish, but be

SURREY MINISTER
DIED IN CANADA
REV. S. REYNOLDS PASSED
AWAY AT MOOSEJAW, SASK.,
TWO WEEKS AFTER HE LEFT
SURREY.

Rev. S. Reynolds, who was pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Surrey
for year and a half, passed away at
"a private hospital at Moosejaw, Sask:,
after short illness. His funeral
was held just two weeks to the day
after he left Surrey.
The news of his sudden death came
as a great shock to the entire commu-
nifty where he was held in the very
highest esteem.
Mr.. Reynolds was not feeling well
when he left Surrey, being troubled
with indigestion, but his illness was
not considered serious. The cause of
his death was an attack Of the heart
superinduced by indigestion.
Mr.. Reynolds had gone to Moose
jaw to be near his son, Joshua, who
is training at that place as an en-
listed soldier. He is survived by his
wife and son.
Mr.. Reynolds was born in Wales
about SIS years ago. Several years
ago he moved to Canada and was pas
tor of the Presbyterian church at Ell
bow, Sask., prior to coming to Sur
rev. He was a very able minister
and a man about whom too much in
praise cannot be said.

The Primrose,

The primrose has suffered injustice
from the poets, who seem to regard it
as floral weakling. Shakespeare
wrote Of "pale primroses" that die "ere
they can behold bold Phoebus in his
strength" Spencer regrets 80 fair
dower' should perish through "untime-
~ tempest" Milton laments the 'rathe
primrose that forsaken, dies" and
many later poets have written Of it in
similar strain. Why? For the prim-
rose Is a hardy plant and will be found
where few other flowers can exist, on
the mountain heights Of Europe and
Asia and even on the highest ranges Of
the Himalayas. And DisraeH recog-
nized its color in the fried eggs upon
his breakfast table.-London Notes and
Queries.

I P'o1ILlTENEss IN CHINA,
u Takes q Peculiar Form at Times,
Particularly at Dinner.

A Chinaman prides himself on his
politeness more than on anything else.
So when he meets you he shakes his
own hand. When he goes to leave you
he folds his hands across his breast
and makes three bows.
Some places in China it is considered
polite, when you are invited to q
friends house, to throw the chicken
bones on the floor. AS you are having
dinner and chatting about the rice crop
it is proper form, when you get through
with drumstick, to toss it on the
floor and go on with the conversation.
The host takes this as compliment,
. for it shows that you know that he has
servants enough to clean the things off
the floor. If you put the bones on the
plate it reflects on the number Of serv-
ants that he can afford to keep
II you leave a dollar on your dress
ing table your room boy wouldn't steal
1t for anything; he would lose face if
he did, but when your back is turned
he will exchange it for a counterfeit
He can do this and still keep his face.
II you miss something about your room
and know positively that your boy stole
1t and accuse him he will deny 1t as
long as he has breath. Under slow
IRE and salt he would still deny that
be had taken 1t; to admit that he had
stolen your knife would be to lose face
But after accusing him, If you will
let It 60 for day or two the knife will
mysteriously return, or you will find it
under handkerchief on your dresser.
You know that he has returned it, and
he knows that you know, but his face
has been saved, and as a result he is
light hearted and happy.-Homer Croy
In Leslie's.

COLONEL BOWIE'S KNIFE.
The Original Weapon Was Presented
to Edwin Forrest.

As very small child remember a
from high post bed. 1t was my joy
, when alone to draw up chair, place
cricket on that, then climb up, clasping
the bedpost with one arm and with the
other drawing the bowie knife as far
from the sheath as dared. can feel
and the thrilling sense of danger.
I do not know what has become of
this knife, but there are several among
the Bowie family In Maryland and one
which, think, is asserted to be the
original is preserved at the Players
club In New York.
The original was fashioned from an
old file under the personal supervision
Of Colonel Rein P. Bowie by Jesse
Cliffe, the plantation blacksmith, and
given to his brother, Colonel James
Bowie, who made it famous and gave
it to the actor Forrest after having
used it In nineteen deadly encounters.
Colonel Bowie was called by the In
dams the Fighting Devil, by his Texan
followers the Young Lion, yet we are
also told that he was the most peace
able man in the world If you let him
alone His portrait Is that Of strong
man and gentleman thoroughly dis
illusioned and as true as steel. Above
all things the leader for forlorn hope,
but with no suggestion of the border
desperate which he is so often repre-
scented to be.-A. Bowie in New York

TIRELESS INSECTS.
Built For tho Strenuous Life, They Are
Never Weary.

Built For tho Strenuous Life, They Are
Never Weary.
In Insects, Their Life Histories and
Habits" Harold Basin, the entomolO-
gist says that, contrary to popular be-
lief, spiders are not insects. Insects
have six legs, neither more nor less.
and another popularity Of the insect
is that it has wings, sometimes two,
more often four. Spiders have eight
legs and no wings: therefore spiders
are not insects.
Insects have no backbOnes and no
skeletons, says Mr. Basin, but skins
with hard, durable surface called
chitin, which makes up light shell Of
armor that forms the outside OF the
body, to the inside of which the MUS
cles are attached.
Insects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes in their
bodies, called spiracles. Insects have
neither veins nor arteries. The blood
is pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity, where it
bathes and nourishes the organs, In
sects have wonderful and enviable d.
gestive organs and feed upon and d.
gest almost any substance from which
nourishment may be extracted.
Because Of the way they are built in
sects are particularly fitted for the
strenuous life, and a tired insect is a
thing unknown. They are always busy
travelling, buzzing, biting or seeking
some work to do.

How To Build 4 campfire.

For a noon halt gather couple of
heaping double handfuls Of dry twigs
about the size of a lead pencil. If
there are no leaves at hand for finder
shave few of the twigs as finely as
possible with sharp knife, leaving the
shaving attached to the twig at one
end AS support for the kettle set
two fiat stones on edge at an angle
about two sides of the fire with their
rear edges touching, so as to keep the
Fireplace from collapsing. The bright
blaze which this little fire gives at the
start will get up steam in short order,
and the glowing Goals which it leaves
will be just right for frying. If no
stones are handy the kettle may be
swung from forked stake driven Into
the ground at an angle so that it will
jut over the fire.-Outing.

Portuguese Burial Custom.

They have an unusual mode of burial
in Portugal. Instead Of the headstones
and monuments of the graveyards Of
other countries the cemetery Of Lisbon
shows rows and rows of tiny chapels
ranged in long avenues bordered by
cypress trees The Portuguese are
reluctant to bury their dead out Of
sight, and these chapels serve as NOR
tuaries for the collins, which are placed
on the shelves within. Through the
iron grills the eye discerns small al
tars and flowers cleaning through the
subdued light Of the interiors.-Man-
chester Courier
