After a South African Storm. ‘With the breaking of the day I went outside. The country was unrecogniza- ble. The land and the scenery which I had kuown for years were entirely al- tered. 'The very hills, plled high with ‘white hallstones, were a different shape, and torrents of muddy water poured down from all)sides. And when the red sun rose Into a clear bright sky the scene of ruin and desolation was awful to look at. Bulldings had been hurled to the ground and were nothing more than hills of haflstones. A large dam I had spent two years in making had been completely swept | away. In another dam which had re- mained unbroken the haflstones had accumulated and piled themselves uy over twenty feet in helght. There was not a sign of water in this huge dam, just a huge pile of frozen hallstones.— He Might e Married. Fitz-Greene Halleck never married, yet, as Mr. Howe reminds us in his American Bookman, he could not have been without attractions, for a certain superior lady is reported to have de- clared; ~“If 1 were on my way to church to be married, yes, even if I were walk- ing up the alsle, and Halleck were to offer himseif, I'd leave the man I had promised to marry and take him.” To this perhaps should be jolned his 2pigram, written for a young lady who had asked for his autograph: There wanted but this drop to fill The wifeless poet's cup of fame. Hurrah! There lives a‘lady still ‘Willing to take his name. Playing to the Cook. . - Mr. Subberton (yelling to kitchen)— Sawdust and milk crust! Adam and Eve on a raft and wreck ’em!

If he happens to roll upon his side he cannot recover his feet again. This infirmity of the ani- mal i3 mentioned by the Count de Les- dain in the account of his'journey, “From Pekin to Sikkim:” “The caravan was made up of cam- els. I had brought some new ones and had no idea of taking any other animals into a country largely’ com- posed of loose sand. An amusing in- cident marked the beginning of our march. One camel, awkward as they all are, managed to tumble into & difch of thick mud between the road and a wheatfield. When once fallen a camel can only get up again if it can arrange its feet conveniently un- der 1t and if the ground is nearly flat. “In this case it was not so. The ani- mal lay with all four feet in the air, perfectly resigned and-incapable of a single movement to help itself. To draw it out took more than half an hour and required the united efforts of many men with cords passed under the camel’s back.” Welcoming the Traveler. I have always had a good opinion of the enterprise of the life insurance agent. It has seemed to me that the busy bee is a lazy ne’er-do-well com- pared with him. - Recently this' opin- ion has been strengthened. An old colored servant living in a neighboring family made his first trip away from home and visited relatives in New York. On his return to Louisiana he was asked what he did while in the north. “Well, ‘mong uddah t'ings I done tuk out a life insurance policy fo’ fi’ hun’ed dollahs.” “Why, what on earth do you want with a life insurance policy? You have no wife or children!” “Dat’s what I done tol’ him, but I had t take it, all de same. De agent man, he met me at de boat landin’, an’ he sai@ I'd haf t’ have one or he’d sen’ me back home. He warn't gwine fo’ t’ low me t’ land if I didn’t buy one. Dey don’t "low-no one in New Yawk ’less dey has a ’suhance policy!”—Woman’s Home Companion. Economy of Costly Foods. The economy of expensive foods is explained by the fact that digestion, at least in man, is dependent upon flavors, without which it is so defec- tive that we do not obtain the good of the food we swallow. As far as ex- periments go, they substantiate these assertions, for the sight and smell of pleasing food start the flow of di- gestive fluids, while disagreeable odors and sight stop it. Delicatessen, then, ‘would seem to be staples, for they are necessary. The talk of belng able to -subsist on a few cents a day is simply nonsense and leads to deterloration of health. What seems to ‘be extrava- gance in food purchases may be wholesome instinct. The high cost of living 18 partly due to the cost of the flavors we need. We commend these ideas to our worthy dietetic’ econo- mists. Laymen may not be so foolish as the physiologists themselves. — American Medicine. A Novel Method of Advertising. A storekeeper in a small out of the way town many years ago hit upon a novel method of advertising his store. He conceived the idea of buying up the stock of stamps at the postoffice across the way. The postmaster ob- Jected to be denuded of all his stock, but his mysterious customer demanded the stamps over the counter, sheet aft- | c: er sheet, as an ordinary member of the public until he had bought every stamp to be had. Then he took the stock over to-his store across the road and plastered his windows with mno- tices that postage stamps were only to be had at his store, and to his mor- tification the postmaster had to send customers across to the store over the ‘way for any stamps they needed until some days after he once more got in a stock from headquarters. ‘Won a Wife by His Skill. Action was a Greclan painter of about the tlme of Alexander, and he won his wife by his great work. He painted a picture called “The Nuptials of Alexander and Roxane,” which was exhibited at the Olympic games, It created such a stir that one of the Judges cried in admiration, “I reserve crowns for the victorious athletes, but I give my daughter in' marriage to the painter Action as a recompense for his pleture.” Action was one of the art- ists who excelled in the art of mixing colors. He could not go.to the nearest store and purchase them, as artists do today. Drawing the Line. “I don’t mind Hstening to a man who is paying for my dinner tell me the story of his life” said the woman. “Men’s lives are generally interesting, but T won't stand to hear 8 woman tell everything she knows, even if she does pay for my dinner. I'd rather pay for my own dinner and get an occasional shy at the conversation.”—New York Press. A Hard Shot. Husband (angrily) — What! More money? When I'm dead you'll prob- ably have to beg for all the money you get! Wife (calmly)—Well, I'll be better off than some poor woman who never had any practice. Peace and War. “Peace hath her victorles,” - quoted the wise guy. “Yes, but we generally have to fight pretty hard for them,” added thé sim- ple mug.—Philadelphia Record. Philanthropic Misers: lanthropy’ has-been ‘a miser’s motive in spending and saving to a grotesque degree. Thus when the first Pasteur institute was suggested In Parls to keep green the memory of the world famous sclentist a poor wretch who lived in utter misery came forward with a subscription of $500. And when the city officials called upon him With a message of thanks they found him in an evil smelling slum behind the Cathedral of Notre Dame. When the door was opened the miser philan- thropist was found quarreling violent- ly ‘'with his miserable looking serv- ant for throwing away a match” that bad not been burned at both ends. A similar case, but on a much larger scale, was that of Jacques Gurgot of Margeilles. Every one in the city knew and hated him for his incredibly sor- aid life, yet when the old miser's will ‘was proved all France was amazed to find he had left $250,000 to his native city especially to furnish the poor with a good and cheap water supply. “I know,” the old man -wrote, “that 50,000 of our citizens died of the plague during the epidemic’ of 1720, which was. generated by the noxious efffuvia arising from filthy streets. that were never cleansed.” — New York Tribune, Tha Poor Ensign. The following story ¢f German mili- tary officialism is published in Lon- don: One Ensign Flugge claimed com- pensation for damage to kit caused by a mouse-having gnawed a hole in his, best tunic. The officer who had to de- cide the point dismissed the claim and ordered the ensign to be severely pun- ished on the ground that, contrary to orders, he bad hung his best tunic on a pail when going on guard at night in an inferior garment instead of pack- ing it in his knapsack, thus enabling a mouse to gnaw a hole in it “without’ having to overcome the slightest im- pediment.” Ensign Flugge appealed, and on further hearing it appeared that the officer who first dealt with the case was mistaken in the facts, the tunic having been stowed in a knapsack at the time when the mouse defaced it and not hung upon a nail. The first decision was therefore set aside by higher authority, and Ensign Flugge was ordered to be_severely punished for having stowed his tunic in his knapsack Instead of hanging it on a nail, thereby giving opportunity to the mouse to knaw a hole in it “un- der cover of the darkness.” The senti- ments of Ensign Flugge are not re- corded. The Arab Mare. The Arab is regarded as the first of horsemen and the Arab mare as the perfect steed. The Arab’s idea of horse taming isof the simplest. The colt is treated from ithe first as a member of the family. It goes in and out of the tents and is so familiarized with the doings of that extraordinary creature, man, that there is never any need of breaking it in. The Bedouin is very careful of his mare. He does not mount her when he sets out to play his usual tricks upon travelers. He rides a camel to which the mare is tethered. Not until the caravan is in sight does he mount the mare and give chase. There is, by the way, an impression that the Bedouin is a bloody minded person who would as Uef take your life as not. This is un- fair to him. He is a thief of very peaceful inclinations and much pre- fers to effect any necessary transfer of property with as little bother as pos- Don’t Try Uncertaln Recipes.
