BERNARD DOGS. Thése Famous Saving Animals Are Said to Be Mongr. Among American tourists in Switzer- land there is much rivalry for securing “real” St. Bernards to take home with them. They evidently do not know that the St. Bernards are mongrels. The original St. Bernards saw the light toward the end of the fourteenth century. The mother was a Wallis shepherd dog, the sire a mongrel of a Great Dane and a Spanish mountain mastiff. In the winter of 1812 nearly all the dogs lost their lives in the snow. In 1816 the last St. Bernard dog died. But a monk of Martingny had a mon- grel St. Bernard, and this was crossed with Wallis sheep dogs. The breed- ing being done in scientific manner, the present race of St. Bernards, though mongrel, like the first, is better and stronger than the old ones, it is said. The railways have made use of St. Bernards almost unnecessary now, yet they continue on the old stand in win- ter when the snow lies high. Only the male dogs are used for rescuing men in distress. They are followed by men on snowshoes, who carry provisions. Each of the older dogs has one or more young companions, which he teaches the business.—Boston Post. Lunch Room Repartes. The young man with the iron cheek entered the quick lunch room and seat- ed himself at the third table. “Belinda,” he called familiarly, “you look fresh this morning.” “Not half as fresh as some others,” retorted the pretty waitress, with an elevation of her nose. “Well, well! Have you calf brains?"* “If I did you wouldn’t order them, for you have an oversupply now.” “My, but you are getting good for the matinee! With the high price of meats eggs come in handy these days, don’t they ?” “Noj; they come in crates.” “Wow! Did you ever hear the story of the incubator chick? It's not out yet.” “That will do, sonny. Did you ever hear the story of the cold porridge? Well, it's on you!” There w an unexpected tilting of a dish, and the young man with the {ron cheek was showered with oat- meal.—Boston Post. Consolation. A little girl of thirteen or so found berself one day possessed of a new emotion—a desire to be pretty. She struggled with it, but finally went to the long mirror in the hall and for the first time in her life looked at herself critically from head to foot. She saw what most girls see at thirteen—a lanky creature, mostly legs and arms hands and feet. It hurt her, and sh¢ went out of doors to think it over. Thought resulted in tears, and in tears she was found half an hour later by her particular chum, a boy near her own age. Anxious inquiry as to why she was crying induced her to speak. “Oh, Ilarold,” she wailed, “I've just looked at myself in the glass, and I'm $0 homely!” The boy was puzzled, but sympa- thetic, and made an effort at consola- tion. He looked at her a minute, then awkwardly patted her, saying sooth- ingly: “Not homely, ing."—New Yo ice; just funny look- Times. Doesn’t Know Her Age, There is a glaring phase of unfair- ness in the position of the two sexes, despite all our struggles for the suf- frage. A woman still dreads to tell her age, no matter how youthful she may look, while as long as a man looks youthful he is generally willing to admit and even to boast of how many milestones he has passed. There is at least one father who understood this problem in time and who gave his daughter a fair chance in life by never letting her know how old she was. He realized at her birth that a time would come when she would not want to tell her age, and he spared her the humiliation of having to prevari- cate, so she was never told either her age or the place where she was born, and there were no birth records pre- served in the family.—New York World. A Patron, “Mr. Carriman is very busy now.” said the private secretary of the rail- road president *Is there anything I can do for you?” “Ob,” replied the pompous visitor, “just a friendly call.

Similarity. “What a noisy thing that bass drum is!” remarked the clarinet disgustedly. .“Yes,” replied the trombone; “just like a human being, isn’t it?” “Like a buman being?” “Yes; it’s the one with the big head that makes the most noise.”—London Telegraph.

Pride of opinton‘ls perhaps the most common fault of us fairly educated and intelligent moderns. We form our Jjudgments und then, as it were, defy any one to change them. It is sald that no one hus ever been converted by abstract argument. At the time of the great disaster in Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on a cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to volca- noes, and he did not like the appear- ance of Mont Pelee. Not half his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. “The vol the shippers. *Finish your loading.” “I don't know anything about Mont Felee,” sald the captain, “but If Vesu- vius looked that way I'd get out of Naples, and I'm going to get right out of here.” The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him, but the captain persisted in leaving. Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Plerre.— Christian Herald. A Miser’s Luxury. There was a Middlesex couple once who lived on a sum to shock the most reckless of our correspondents. Daniel Dancer was the man. He looked on saving as an art and saved for art's sake. His father left him a farm and eighty acres, and his sister helped him carry out his scheme of life. He let the land lie fallow, says the London Gest. It costs money to cultivate land. For food the couple believed in one day, one meal. The batch of dump- lings baked on a Saturday lasted out the week. I‘or clothing he depended on hay bands “swathed round his feet for boots and round his body for a coat.” - But Daniel bad a weakness. He would buy a clean shirt each year. And out of this arose the tragedy of his life—a lost lawsuit over three- pence which. in Daniel's judgment. the shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed. He died in 1794 worth £3.000 a year. Gypsy Wordless Language. To communicate with one another gypsies now use letters—and they use the telegraph, too. when necessary— especially in this country. But the modern Romany also follows the *‘pat- teran.” tracing the footsteps or wagon tracks of Lis friends on the rond by the same wmethod ewmployed by his an- cient prototype, reading directions where no words are written as clearly as the gorgio does a roadside sign- board. But the patteran can be read by the gypsy only—it is bidden and secret, although it may be in plain sight, as a signboard is open and pub- lic. The patteran may be formed of sticks or stones or grass placed cross fashion at the parting of roads in such manner that only gypsy would in- stantly notice and understand. To him it means much—first of all, the direc- tion taken by Romany predecessors.— Century Magazine. The Hungzarian Crown. The Hungarian crown worn at their accession by tlie emperors of Austria as kings of Hungary is the identical one made for Stephen and used at his coronation over 800 years ago. The whole is of pure gold. except the set- tings, and weighs almost exactly four- teen pounds. I'he settings above allud- ed to consist of fifty-three sapphire fifty rubies. one emerald and 338 pearls. It will be noticed that there are no diamonds among these precious adornments. This is accounted for by the oft quoted story of Stephen's aver- sion to such gems because he consid- ered them “unlucky.” Battle of the Herrings. The battle of the herrings was the comical name given to a fight between an English force and a French detach- ment not far from Orleans in 1429. The English were conveying a large quantity of supplies. mainly herrings, for it was Lent, to the army that was besleging Orleans. The English had 1,600 men. the I'rench 6,000. The for- mer repulsed the assailants and saved the herrings. so the battle was named 1n honor of the supplies. Willing to Take Them Back. A letter came from the clcthing firm saying that the cloth that had been sent them was full of moths. Was the wholesale house taken aback? Not it.

It ‘was our error, and you will please re- turn them at once at our expense.”— Argonaut.

In June of that year the first refrig- erator car is suid to have made its trlp from Ogdensburg, N. Y., to Bos- ton. The car owed its origin princi- pally to the fact that the farmers near Ogdensburg. who made a great deal of butter, were unable to ship it ex- cept in cold weather. A railroad man named Wilder, at that time in charge of the through freight, thought it would be a’good idea to rig up “an icebox on wheels.” and he told this to the president of the road, who gave orders that the mas- ter mechanic should plan several of them. At this time farmers were receiving only 12 cents a pound for their butter. The iced car was loaded with eight tons of it. sent through and allowed to stand in Boston till the product was sold. It brought 17 cents a pound after paying all expenses and com- missions, and the plan was voted a success. In a short time the road had a regular service on, using a number of cars, and the idea spread rapidly. Wilder did not patent his idea, but allowed it to be used by whoever so desired.—St. Louis Republic. 0DD VOLUMES. They Are Members of a Unique Dining _ Club In London. One of the most unique dining ¢lubs in London is that known as the Sette of 0dd Volumes, which was founded in 1878 and meets once a month from October to June. It consists of twen- ty-one volumes, or members, that be- ing the number of the volumes of the Variorium Shakespeare published in 1821. There are also twenty-one sup- plementary members, who succeed to full membership as vacancies oceur. The twenty-one rules of the club in- clude the following: Any Odd Volume losing his temper and failing to recover it shall be fined by the pr dent the sum of 5 shillings. Discussions about anthiropology, re- ligion and politics shall be put down | by the president. Any Odd Volume giving to another 0da Volume unasked advice shall be fined by the president. No Odd Volume shall talk unasked on any subject he understands. No 0dd Voluwe's speech shall last longer than three minutes. .If, howev- er, the inspired Odd Volume has any more to say he may proceed until his voice is drowned in the general ap- plause. Volumes have to address each other as “Your Oddship.”—Argonaut. The Major's Tip. When Major Banks was the best known figure around the race tracks of Cincinnati and the middle west be was estremely generous in tippivg off his friends to “sure winners.” One man who enjoyed his contidence and played the horses according to the ma- Jor's advice lost all his ready money and finally succeeded in reducing him- self to the point where he had to sell out his gracery business. One afternoon, following the placing of his last ten dollar note as the major. advised. he caught Banks by the arm and said tragically: “Major, you've made me lose my last cent. I'm a pauper, and my wife and family are practically starving. 1 am now about to go down to the river and drown myseif. It's all over for me.” “All right.” answered Banks, “but in the event you change your mind meet me here at 3 o'clock tomorrow after- noon. I think I'll have something good for you."—Exchange. Kongo Tattooing. In the Kongo colonies of Belgium both men and women are tattooed ac- cording to their status in society. A woman of high caste will have a de- sign not unlike a zouave jacket work- ed upon ber back, and it would seem that the native is as content with this’ mode of covering as if it were a sub- stitute for clothing. By injecting the Juice of certain herbs the scars left by the tattooing process retain a swollen appearance, giving the effect of bas- relief work. The thorns of the acacia are generally used as a needle, while a certain black clay is used as a color- ing medium. Classified.

No Paprika In Her Bones. A Hungarian restaurant in New York became famous for its culinary triumphs. and wany visitors to the city became acquainted there with the mysterious dishes produced in Hunga- rian kitchens. In one of these parties several years ago was a young matron from the est, who, anxious to ex- tend her knowledge and see- ing how her husband relished one of the courses of the meal, asked the head waiter for the recipe for the dish. “I can give it to you, madam,” was the courteous reply. “but you can’t make it."” “And why not?” asked the sightseer. “Because you must be Hungarian.
