Hunting the marabou Is attended with great difliculty, as the bird pos- sesses wonderful cunning and often contrives to outwit the most skillful hunter. With laughable dignity it measures the ground between itself and its pursuer and takes very good care not to exhaust itself by too rapid flight. If the hunter moves slowly the bird at once adopts an equally easy pace, but if the hunter quickens his steps the bird is off like an arrow. It is very dlficult to get within gup range of this calculating creature, but the natives adopt a novel means of capturing it, which the bird, with al its astuteness, Is unable to compre hend and falls an easy vietim. A tempting morsel of meat is tled to the end of a long stout cord, which the skillful hunter flings to a great dis- tance, as he would a lasso, the bait falling as near the fleeing bird as he can alm it. Ile then conceals himself hastily behind a bush or crouches low on the sand. The marabou, which al- ways keeps e on the hunter, see- tng him var quletly stops and de- vours the bait, when it is easlly se- cured by the hunter, who runs toward it, coiling the rope as he goes.

The other day a chemist was awak ened about 1 o’clock In the morning by a lad clamoring at his shop door. Open. ing his bedroom window, he saw a small boy, who was gestlculating wildly. “What's the matter?” inquired the chemist. “I want a penny’orth o’ camphorated chloroform for t' toothache!” howled the lad. The chemist was not overjoyed when he found how small the order was for which he had been so rudef awakened from his slumber; but, tak ing pity on the sufferer, he dressed himself and went downstalrs to sup- ply the much desired rellef. While measuring the drug he could not help | dolng a growl at the lad. “It's llke your cheek,” he observed ‘ “to wake me up at this time of the —— night for a paltry penn’orth of chloro- | form.” \ “Oh, Is 1t?” sald the boy resentful- | ly. “Then I'll tek mi custom some- | wheer else.

You've.nc taste. I'll gend her one of those fancy boxes of soap.” And she lifted to her nose a box containing six round tablets of per fumed soap. “Ye she continued, “this is the very thing!” “But, my dear, really”— he protegt- ed. “You be qulet, John! Now, wrap this up, wmles!™ Two days later a packet arrived from Aunt Betsy, and In haste they opaned it to see how she had taken fheh thoughtful present. Under the wrap- ping was the affectlonate message: “Niece—Herewith I return the box of shaving soap you sent me. I am too old to appreclate the joke of be Ing regarded as a bearded lady. Your aunt, Betsy." Then. but only for a moment, the mild little man smiled. — Pearson's Weekly. A Dreadful Assault, Justice Ball, an Irish judge, wat noted for his amusing manifestations of ignorance, but whether they were real or pretended has never been clear ly established. He trled a case I which a man was indicted for robbery at the house of a poor widow. The first witness was the young daughte: of the widow, who identified the pris- oner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mother’s chest “Do you say that the prisoner at the bar broke your mother's chest?" sald the judge in astonishment. “He did, my lord,” answered the girl “He jumped on it till he smashed it entirely.” The judge turned to the crown coun sel and said: “*How Is this? Why Is not the prisoner indicted for murder: If he smashed this poor woman's ches! in the way the witness has described he- must surely have killed her.” “But, my lord,” said the counsel, “i was a wooden chest.”—Cornhill Maga: zine. The Buds. Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and ed ucator, was greatly beloved In th¢ south, and his visits were always en joined by his former pupils and par Ishioners. In his later years it was his custom to offer prayer whenever he made a ministerial call. On on¢ occasion he called at a house where three of his former puplls were stay Ing. These ladles were all past the thirtieth year mark, but in the eyes of the old gentleman they were stili girls, which explains the petition he offered: “Lord, bless these dear girls, jus budding into sweet womanhood.” This was too much for one of the number, who, taking advantage of the doctor’s deafness, added this clause sotto voce: “Alas, Lord, budded, bloom- ed, faded and still unpicked!” Got His Discount. “The other day I was in a village general store,” saild a drummer, “en deavoring to make a sale of jewelry when a farmer entered. “‘Give me,’ said the farmer, ‘a hall pound of tobacco, three bars of soap five yards of blue baby ribbon and a pair of good suspenders.’ “The articles were brought forth, in- spected, approved and wrapped up They came to 95 cents. “‘Yes,” said the farmer, '05's right But there’s the discount.. You adver tise a 5 per cent discount, don't you? “‘We do, sir,’ sald the clerk, ‘bul only on purchases of $1 or over.” “On the counter lay a basket of pock: et combs marked at 5 cents apiece. “‘Well, I'll just take one of these, said the farmer. ‘That’ll make us square.’” A Stingy King. In the beginning of the eighteenth century the now so powerful German empire was nothing more than the lit- tle kingdom of Prussia, having'just dropped Its title of duchy of Branden- burg. The country was very poor and the military discipline very harsh, Fiederick Willlam I. was hard, cross and stingy and did not even kmow what it was to make a present.

Maximilian and “La Paloma.” Wherever that haunting alr, “La Pa- loma,” is played the memory of the Emperor Maxmilian, shot by the Mex- icans on June 19, 1867, should be pre served. Maxmilian’s final request was that “La Paloma” should be played while he stood up to meet his doom He dled with the tune in his ears, and his wife went mad with the shock of his execution.

Boclety of Japan contalns an account by Dr. Okada of the occurrence in Ko- rea of those remarkable winds which bave been called fohn winds. The winds to which this name was origl- nally given are warm winds blowing down from the snowclad mountains of Switzerland and producing extensive meltings of the snow. They have hence Leen called “snow enters.” The fohn Is essentlally a phenomenon of mountainous regions, and Wonsan, in Korea, where they have been observed, 1s surrounded except on the east by high mountains. In this region they are always westerly and cause abnor- mally high temperatures and dryness of the air. A similar wind In North America Dblowing down from the Rocky mountains has been called the chinook. Fohn winds occur also in the arctic regions. Blowing sometimes in midwinter they produce a remarkable climatic paradox. As a result of the elevation of temperature caused by them It may happen that northern Greenland. though In winter darkness. Is warmer than southern Frauce. Men Who Help Thieves. The “rechristener” Is the profession- al name of the man who alters the names and numbers on stolen watches. The rechristener Is usually a clever engraver who through drink or other wise has lost the chance of obtaining honest employment and aids the re- celver of stolen property. When a watch has been stolen the number or name or other indication of make or ownership may be forwarded to the police and by them communlicated to pawnbrokers. There is consequently an element of risk in attempting to dispose of it. There are various ways of getting over the difficulty, and re- christening is one that is frequently resorted to. The engraver adds or pre- fixes another figure to the number or he turns the name “J. Robins” into “T, J. Robinson,” the extra initial serving to make the name look level and central on the watch case. This is done very cleverly, and the rest of the letters or figures are touched up to make all appear to have been cut at! the same time.—Leondon Standard. Why Is the Ocean Sa!t?

The Grimmest Epitaph. ‘What fs:the most terrible epitaph In existence? One of the grimmest Is surely .that on a stone which was set up a few years ago in the cemetery of i Debrescin, eastern Hungary. It reads as follows: “Here rests in the Lord Joseph Moritz, Sr., who died in his sixty-second year. He was shot by his son. Frau Joseph Moritz, who died in her forty-seventh year, She was shot by her daughter. Elizabeth Mo- ritz, who died by her own hand in her seventeenth year after shooting her mother.

The Coach and Four Came. Among the many records of Harrow school is that of a boy, the son of a poor local tradesman in a very small way of business. His schoolfellows often taunted him about his family poverty. - Their thoughtless jeers, al- though hurting his feelings, drew from the lad the retort, “I intend before 1 dle to ride in a coach and four.” The years sped by, and, lo and behold, the poverty stricken youngster of Harvow had developed into Dr. Parr, the great- | est scholar. of his time, whose. cus- tomary and favorite means of locomo- tion was a coach and four!—London MMail. Spreading Over L. T. Cooper’s theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove with his new medicine, iS being glven more respect and comment every lay. Cooper claimg that 90 per cent, of all ill health is due to stomach trouble. ‘When interviewed about his theory re- cently, he said: “Stomach trouble is the .great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are con- cerned. Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. “To be sure, there was sickness in those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afllicted nowadays, “I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. 1t lacks tone and strength. This weak- ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my. success is be-.
