An amusing anecdote in Lord Fred

ing at Calcutta were marched to serv-
ice at st. Andrews church.
The most optimistic mosquito had
never imagined such a succulent ban
quet as that afforded by 400 bare
kneed, killed Highlanders, and the
mosquitoes made the fullest use of
their opportunity. Soon the church
resounded with the vigorous clapping
of hands on bare knees and legs as
the men endeavored to kill a few of
their little tormentOrs.
Hearing the loud capping, the min
lister paused and said: my brethren,

SURELY WAS POTENT STUFF
of Insomnia TO Experience
This Man Had.

Jones had been troubled with IN
somnia. He tried several alleged
cures without success. One day he
told his trouble to his friend Brown.
'Why, l know the very thing for
YOU" Brown said, after Jones had con-
Guided. Meet me tonight | have some
stuff out home which will fix you up
in so time"
That night the two net and Brown
handed Jones a bottle filled with
murky white liquid, instrucGng his
friend to take good drink" before
going to bed.
THAT will make you sleep if any
thing can" he said.
Two days later the two met again on
the street.
How was that stuff l gave you to
cure your insomnia? Was it any
gOod:" Brown asked.
"Good?' replied Jones. Il should
say it was. Listen here! l took it as
you suggested, and went to sleep sooE
after retiring. Then a friend with his
head under his arm came along and
asked me if l wanted to buy his feet.
l was bargaining with him when the
dragon on which l was riding slipped
its skin, and left me floating in mid
air.
while l was considering how
should get down, a bull with two heads
peered over the edge of a wall, and
said he would haul me up if l would
first climb up and fix a windlass for
him. SO as l was sliding down the
mountain, the inspector came in, and
I asked him when the train would
reach my station.
"'We passed your station two hun
dred years ago. he answered, calmly
folding the train up and slipping it in
his waistcoat pocket. At this moment
l woke up and found that 1 had been
asleep ten minutes"

GROWN FROM STOLEN SEEDS
Rubber Trees Still Standing in Equa-
toriaI Forest Have Had Remark
able Adventures.

When the value of rubber was first
being exploited British interests made
an expedition to Brazil with the view
of securing specimens and acclimatiz-
ing the rubber plants to the lands of
India. The Brazilians, approaching
the value of their monopoly, refused
to allow the export of seeds or plants,
but by some underhand methods 10000
seeds were secured and struggled out
Of the country.
Rubber seeds are perishable, and
lest they should spoil on the way to
Ceylon they were taken the shorter
distance-tO London.
On landing in London, the guardian
of the seeds drove in a hanson cab
to Kew gardens. 1t was the middle
of the night when he arrived there,
but the seeds were planted at once.
One in ten terminated, and year
later LOO of the plants were sent
In miniature hOthOuses to Ceylon.
A botanical garden was opened for
their reception at little place called
HeneratgOda in the equatorial forest
There the survivors stand today. You
look at these large old trees with a
sort of wonder when you think of the
adventures they went through in the
early days, and that from their prog
eny the great rubber industry of the
East has sprung up.

it was put-that of erasing pencil

Smith tried to board crowded bus,
but the conductor waved him back, an
nouncing gruffly that there were no
vacant seats.
"Be a sport and let me on" Smith
said. "My sweetheart's on board"
"Oh, well, in that case" said the
conductor, with a smile, and Smith
scrambled on.
Just inside the door an elderly man

He rose and waved his hand toward

The girl looked up as Smith seated

fluent motion of lighted train windows
