He bathed the hen in the tub. Hq scrubbed her feathers till they were 8nowy. Then he toweled her, wrap- ped- her up and put her away in a “Tomorrow,” he said, “after she 18 quite dry I'll rub brilliantine on one of these brushes and polish her coat till it shines like satin. ‘I'll ofl and polish her ‘feet too. Her face and wattles T’ll rub well with cold cream—that will deepen and enrich the color, the bloom. Altogether, when I'm done with her she’ll be as smooth and shiny and im- maculate as a new silk hat or & well laundered white evening shirt. “For exhibitions chickens have these elaborate toilets always—much more elaborate ones sometimes. In certain breeds I have seen the leg feathers being curled with an electric iron one gfl one.”—New ' Orleans ‘Times-Demo- it First Giraffe In Europe. Dr. Johnson; as is well known, re- fused for many months to belleve in the Lisbon: earthquake, and Parisians formerly: were just as skeptical as to the existence of the giraffe, a new spec- imen of which has just been added to theé Jardin des:Plantes. The earllest specimen of these gentle creatures was seen in Paris” in the reign of Louls XVI.. We learn from a.French con- temporary that the giraffe was first heard of :in 1787, when it was de- scribed by a Frenchman named Le- vaillant, who' had- journeyed: in the lands of the Hottentots and Kaffirs. ‘When- the explorer referred to the an- 1mals with the long necks he was look- ed upon as'a Munchausen and told that he was such in not the politest language.- It was only when some liv- ing: specimens. arrived in the French capital that Levaillant’s reputation for- veracity was re-established, and then the animals for a long time formed the sensation of Paris, not only among the multitude, but in all sclentific circles.— London Globe. “The Light That Failed.” A wealthy Riverina squatter, now departed, as he used to phrase 1t; “to the great muster,” was noted almost as much for his Attic. wit as for his parsimony. He also stuttered very badly and helped along his halting ut- terance with a frequent ejaculation of “D'ye see? D’ye see?’ His niggardly traits gained him widespread local un- popularity and the bitter enmity of sundowners, who were always vigor- ously refused rations at. his stations. Bmarting under this unusual inhos- pitality, some disappointed swaggerers once set fire to one of the squatter's wool sheds and then wrote upon a gate: “We've well burnt down your wool shed: D’ye see? D'ye see?” Of course it caught the big man’s eye when next he passed through. For a moment he contemplated the an- nouncement and then with a sardonie grin took the stump of & blue pencil from his pocket and scribbled under- neath: “It was well insured. D'ye see? D’ye see?’—London Standard. Electricity and Magnetism. As to what electricity and magnetism are “in’ themselves”"—that is to say, as to their real nature—nothing is known. They are absolute mysteries, bafiling the' acutest research into their inner- most secrets. But about their modes of action it is possible to say some- thing definite. For example, electricity appears to depend for its action upon a medium, while magnetism, like grav- ity, acts at a distance and by means of no visible go-between. Place two mag- nets ‘in vacuo or even place a solid plate of glass or metal or wood be- tween the magnets and we still find that their mutual action depends sole- 1y on their relative position and is not perceptibly modified by placing any substance between them unless that substance happens to be ome of the magnetic metals.—New York American. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. | A pretty myth is told of Callisto and- her son in connection with Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Juno changed the beautiful Callisto into. a bear, who, seelng her son one day, advanced to embrace him, when he, not knowing his mother in the form of a bear, was about to thrust his spear through ber, to prevent which Jupiter snatched them both up to heaven and placed them among the stars as the Great and Little Bears. All One Kind. - “What did father say when you told. him of our engagement?” asked the young lady. “Well—er—really, Phyllis,” began the 1neligible young man. “Oh, leave out the strong language,” “Then there’s nothing to tell you.” Probably Not. “Baseball,” maintained the dogmatic citizen, “Is very anclent. Baseball games were probably ‘going on at the time of the flood.” “Do you s'pose they gave rain checks?” inquired the facetious citizen with irritating levity.—BExchange, Declining. “Miss Frocks has reached her declin- ing years,” said Jones: “Nonsense,” replied Brown. “She’s not more than twenty-five.” “But: she' has declined: half a dozen men.” The “Leading-Heavy™ “What's the matter now?” “We're" -playin’ circus parade, an’ Willle’s- a-bein’ the elephant an’ the lion an’ the hipp’otamus an’ the calll- ope,-an’ it ain't fair!”—Life.

Mrs. eV 7 One Fish Didn't Grow. = A number of men were telling of re- markable catches off Atlantic City, and sne of them said that one day he caught & very small ‘cod, and, not car- Ing to take home such a little fellow, he took a plece of copper wire, ran it through the tail of the fish, and on one end of the wire he attached a copper tag with his name seratched upon it. “The next year when I was off there,” continued the man, “I got a heavy pull on the line, and after five minutes’ fighting landed a twelve pound cod;, and there on ‘its tail was my tag.” “That reminds me of a similar ex- perience off there,” said another man. “I caught one of those small cod, and I wanted to hang some sort of identifi- cation on'it, but I couldn’t find any- thing in the copper’ tag line from one end of the boat to the other. -1 did find, however, a little tin' whistle in one of my pockets, and, running a wire'| through the tail of the fish, I hung on the whistle and threw the cod back into the water. “The following year I got a most pe- ‘culiar bite on my hook, and after pull- ing in the line I got the surprise of my life. - There ‘was the same little cod He hadn’t grown an'inch, but hang- Ing on his tail was a long fog horn.”— Philadelphia Press. ‘Table Manners In Old France. Could we restore for half an hour the dinner table of old France and obtain half a dozen instantaneous - photo- graphs of a royal banquet at any era between the reigns of Francis I and Louls Quatorze such a “cataract of laughter” would ‘be heard as might disturb the 'serenity of Louls in para- dise. The duchess, her napkin tied se- curely round her neck, would be seen mumbling a bone, the noble marquis surreptitiously scratching himself, the belle marquise, withdrawing her spoon from her lips to help a neighbor to sauce - with it, another fair creature scouring her plate ,with her bread, a gallant courtier ns!ng his doublet or the tablecloth as a towel for his fin- gers and two footmen holding a yard of damask under a lady’s chin while she emptied her goblet at a draft. Dur- ing a feast of inordinate length it was sometimes necessary to substitute a clean cloth for the one which the care- lessness or bad manners of the guests had reduced to a deplorable condition. —*“An Idler In Old France.” The Midget Snakes. “I gee by your paper,” says a corre- spondent, “that you want to find a man whocan tell a snake story with the sound of originality to it. Here it is: Nearly forty years ago in the woods of Indiana I captured three snakes, each less than three and one-fourth inches in length, a combined length of less than ten inches, a little longer and a little larger in the middle than an old fashioned wool darning needle. Al- though these snakes were 8o small they would crawl around with thelr heads up and dart out their tongues like larger snakes, I put these reptiles in an eight ounce bottle, and they had plenty- of room to crawl around on the bottom of it without erowding. These ‘were not the kind of #nakes generally seen in bottles, but genuine snakes, Among those- who saw them was & minister of the gospel,-and he had not been taking anything-to make him see snakes elther.”—Emporia Gazette. Lived to Fight Another Day. Frederick the Great simply lost his head at Molwitz, his first battle. Had he not been a king it is safe to say that he would have been shot at the mnext sunrise. In the heat of the carnage he got an idea that the army under his command was being over- whelmed, so he put the spurs to his horse and dashed headlong among his soldiers. He rode many miles before he stopped in his wild flight. Late at night he was discovered hiding in an old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap- ture by the enemy. Then he discov- ered that the army he deserted had won the battle. As Frederick was.a rince, everybody tried to forget the cldent just as quickly as possible, and after that, when the king went to ‘war, he was just as brave as any oth- er soldfer. Not What He Meant.
