already been got into u state of intense

landlord to induce him to do the house

to be faced, and the next question was,

The Pelican and Its Pouch.
Among the curiosities of nature must
be reckoned the pouch of the pelican,
which serves equally well as a net
with which to snoop up fish and as a
bag to convey food to its young. When
not in use the bird can contract its
pouch so that it is barely discernible,
but when it is fully distended It will
hold two gallons of water. When the
pelican is bunting for too& It tiles slow-
ly about twenty feet above the sur-
face of the water, scanning its depths
for any sign of its prey. As soon as a
Heti is seen there is a sudden folding

Better Than Gold.
Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness. but, as a mat-
ter of fact. there are more metals dear-
er than gold than there are cheaper.
The number of known metals is above
seventy. Iridium, for; instance. is
three times as expensive as gold. Os•
avium is another metal iniwh dearer
than gold. It is by far the heaviest of
all known substances, being more than.
twenty-two times as heavy as water,
This metal has the peculiar property
of being able to stand without welting
the most intense heat known. Pallidi -
um. which is twice as costly as gold,
is just the reverse- It is quite eativ to
wake palladium vanish in steam. Be-
ing of a white, silvery color and um
tarnishable, it is used for the division
marks on scales and delicate scientific
instruments.—Loudon Answers.
When the British Retreated.
One of. the speakers before the ban-
quet of the Massachusetts society of
the Sons of the American Revolution
told of an experiment which he made
several years ago. He first consulted
historical records and ascertained the
exact time of day that the British left
for Lexington. He then started to go
over the same ground. From a fast
walk he soon found it necessary to
break into a run and then a sprint.
Then he found himself getting so far
behind time that be had to take a trol-
ley car. He left Lexington at the time
of day that the British left, and, al-
though they are said to have reached
Charlestown at 7 o'clock in the even-
ing, he did not get there until after
7:30, thus proving that the British beat
the time of the modern trolley cars.—
Boston Traveler.
The Parrot's Threat,
Among the countless presents sent to
Victoria by her subjects early in her
reign was a parrot from a bird fancier
at Bristol: "Poll was too shy on her
arrival at court to speak, but when
Victoria, struck with the beautiful
plumage and fine symmetry of the
newly arrived guest, entered, with
great condescension. into conversation
with her, Poll's shyness wore off, and
she suddenly screamed, 'If you don't
send £20 rli go back.' The queen sent
the £20—'an inducement to ail teachers
to impart profitable instruction to their
pupils.' "—"Married Life of Queen Vic-
toria."
Pretty Lazy.
The very laziest man recently en-
countered conducts a shoe store itf a
tittle town. A woman entered his shop
one day and said she wanted to buy
a pair of shoes. The lazy man, who
was sitting on a box at one end of his
establishment, looked at her, yawned
wearily, and then said: "1 taint wait
on you today. Come in some time
when I'm standin' up."—Argonaut
A Tale For Philatelists.
A story of the late Mr Stanley Gib -

containing this statement was prepaid
with a copy of the stamp in question. •

A Satrprise For Her,
one of the greutest singers of France
Was returnieg front New fork on a
German liner. One evening, glancing
at the program of the concert that Was
to be played at dinner, she saw a tri-
umphal march celebrating the German
victory et 1571.
She immediately conceived that the
•selection of such n piece was an insult
to her and announced to a Friend that
she Would express her disapproval at
the proper time.
The captain noticed the great Lu'tist's
agitation and glanced at the program
to see what caused it; thea, with a
faint smile, he spoke to one of the
waiters iu a low tone.
At the moment when the German
triumphal march was due to begin the
French singer, who could not control
her agitation, prepared to leave the
table,
The first chord was played, the artist
arose and stood, pale, agitated ,and
amazed, while the officers and other
passengers also got up and smiled
sympathetically at her.
And the band played "The Idarseii-
laise!"
Prompt Lesson.
Some years ago there was. In a cer-
tain town a judge whose ideas of the
majesty of the law at the time of his
accession to office were unbounded,
and bis sense of his own importance
as the representative of justice was
also great. At one time two persons
quarreled in the judge's presence. One
man struck the other, and the judge
immediately ordered his arrest on a
charge of assault and battery.
On the day of the trial the defendant
pleaded not guilty.
Instantly the judge, who was a short,
stout man, was on his feet, crimson
faced and putting with indignation.
"What do you mean?" he demanded
of the prisoner without any preamble.
"What do you mean by saying that,
when 1 saw you and had you arrested?
• I tine you $100 for breach of peace and
another $100 for contempt of court, sir.
I reckon." said the judge, his nostrils
dilating with rage and injured dignity
-"1 reckon that'll teach folks to be
careful bow they call this court a liar!"
Not a Thunder Expert.
The masterful manner in which
some people evade an issue was men-
tioned at a recent dinner when this
one was recalled hya naval otiic-ink
"In New Orleans one night," the
officer said, "there was a man on the
stage who offered to answer by men-
tal arithmetic any question that might
be asked by the audience. Just so
long as the questioner -remained in
the expected channel the sailing was
easy, but finally one man got beyond
the bearings -
"'If you please, sir,' said the man
rising from bis seat. 'How far off van
you hear thunder?
"'I can't tell you, sir; was the
prompt response of the wonder on 'the
stage -
"You can't tell me?' responded the
fan. 'Why, I thought'—
"'Not about thunder,' replied the
stage party, doing a quick piece of
dodging. 'Yon see. I am a lightning
calculator.' "—Washington Post.
Would Take a Long Chance.
John D. Rockefeller once called two
little boys over to him. Be said to
one: "Johnnie, if 1 give you a dollar
what will you do with it?" Johnnie
said: 'Til put it in the bank and let it
draw interest until it gets to be a hun-
dred, then a tbousand and so on until
1 get as much as you got." "Very
good," said John D. "Here's the dol-
lar. Now, Tommy, what would you do
with a dollar?" Tommy said: "First
1 would change the dollar into two
halves, the two halves into four quar-
ters, the four quarters into ten dimes,
the ten dimes into twenty nickels, the
twenty nickels into a hundred pen-
nies." "Why would you do all this?"
asked John D. Tommy replied. "Well,
somebody may make a mistake."

Oyster Liquid.
Only one oyster opener in fifty seems
to know that the best thing by far
about an oyster is the liquid in its
shell. Watch the other forty-nine and
you will see them wantonly wasting
this precious. fragrant liquid, and in
many cases they will serve the oyster
on the fiat shell, so that you get no
juice at all. Always ask for them on
the shell, and don't be afraid after you
have transferred the morsel to your
mouth to drink the liquid from the
shell. It may not look elegant, but
elegance be hanged!—Henry T. Fink's
