Did His Very Lively Little Men- agerie, It is said that a friend once asked an aged Englishman what caused ltim so often to complain of pain and weariness in the evening. "Alae;" said he. "I have every day so much to do, for I have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage, a serpent to confine, a lion to chain, and a sick man to tend and wait upon." "Why, you must be joking," said his frleeid, "surely no man can have all theee things to do at once." "Indeed, I am not joking," said the old man, "but what I have told you is the sad and sober truth. "The two falcons are my two eyes, which I must diligently guard lest some- theng should please them which may be hurtful to my salvation; the two hares are my feet, which I must hold back lest they should run after evil objects, and walk in the ways of sin; the two hawks are my two hands, which I must train and keep at work in order that I may be able to provide for myself and for my brethren who are in need; the serpent is my tongue, which I must always keep in with a bridle, lest it should speak anything unseemly: the lion is my heart, with whi_h 1 h:rve to maintain a con- tinual fight in order that vanity and pride may not fill it, but that the grace of God may dwell and work there; the sick man is my whole body, which is always needing my watchfulness and care. All this daily wears out my strength."

The problem whether 'women have any sense of humor has vexed mankind for gen- erations, says a well-known raconteur. It fa unfortunately true that they seldom laugh readily at our jokes, and are inclined to tell tie not to "be silly" when we play airily with a subject. But this may be due to a too keen sense of humor. We may not be up to their form. Our jokes (forsooth!) may not be good enough for them. (Ha! hal Not good enough! But no matter!) We revenge ourselves for this by telling women that they do not know a good thing when they see one, and that, though, when pain and anguish rack tJhe brow they may be ministering angels, they are not the audience we should choose for our finest flights o!' whimsicality. A writer in a monthly magazine, himself a humorist, extra sec, of wide reputation, thinks that he sees signs of an improvement In this state of affairs. "Women's sense of /minor," be says, "has increased in recent 'eons. They see jokes more readily than they used to. This is due to the fact that they look their best when they are smiling." There is hope in these words. There is no reason whatever why humorists should not be welcome fn every drawing -roam. Men capable of telling a good story, or work- ing 00 to .a pleasant .epigram, will be the centre of attraction. The military, the mus- icians and the Gibson -men will beamong the also rens. Mange.

"There a queer and nasty kind of criminal that we call the barber thief," sail the detective. "He is a journeyman barber who Iifts your scarfpin while shaving you. "These rascals have learned somehow or other to shave and haircut fairly well. They go everywhere in the rush season—California or Florida in the win- ter, Atlantic City in the summer, and so on—and there the overworked boss barber, with bands scarce, is only too glace to take them on, and to take them on without references. "It doesn't take a clever barber thief long to make a good haul. In a day in Saratoga one of these men lifted out of millionaires' and sports' neckties dia- monds and pearls to the value of $1.000." --Minneapolis Journal. BEER'ILDS BOWES PURITY Ontario beers arc pure, above all else—far more pure than most of the milk sold in cities, because made under con- ditions of abso- lute hygiene.

W. Kettle, of Kirkdale, P. Q., who says: "My little 4 -year-old boy suffered since he was 18'ruonths old from a' bad leg. 1 tried many salves and had doctors attend him, but none did him any good. The doctors told me it was in the blood, and he was in con- sumption. I only wish now I had bad more faith in Zam-Buk, for it immediate- ly healed the boy's leg. He is now near- ly 4 years old, and looks far from being consumptive. He is now a strong, healthy boy, thanks to Zam•Buk. I hope this letter will help a good many anx- ious mothers."

Uncle Sam's list of Territories has boon seriously depleted within the mem- ory of people now approaching middle age, who used laboriously to con a list of ten or twelve as a part of their geo- graphy lessons. The admission of the new State of Oklahoma (comprising the former Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory), on November 10th, reduces the number of Territories to three—Alas- ka, Arizona and New Mexico—and brings the roll of States up to forty-six. Here are some of the figures that in- dicate the importance of the new State in the most concrete and convincing form: Area in square miles, 70,230; pop- ulation, 1,500,000; taxable property, $800.000,000; estimated annual value of nuneral products, $200,000,000; annual crop of wheat, 40,000,000 bushels; corn,• 72,000,000 bushels; cotton, 000,000 bales; value of domestic animals, $03,000,000; bink deposits, $10;000,000; railroad mile- age, 5,000.—Leslie's Weekly.

A young foreigner one day visited a physician and described a common nial- ady that had befallen him. "The thing for you to cio," the physician said, "is to drink hot water an hour before break- fast every morning." "Write it down, doctor, so I won't forget it;" said the patient. Accordingly the physician wrote the directions down, namely, that the young man was to drink hot water be- fore breakfast every morning. The pat- ient took bis leave and in a week he re- turned. "1,Vell, how are you feeling?" the physician asked. "Worse; doctor, worse, if anything," was the reply. "Ahem! laid you follow my advice and drink hot water an hour before break- fast?" ".I did my best, sir:" said the young man, "but I couldn't keep it up more than ten minutes at a stretch. Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Tribe of Fighting Indians. "1 sojourned for more than a year in Central America, mostly in Honduras, where I went to make a study of the native Indian tribes," said Charles C. Lesseuer, of New Orleans. . "These aborigines are mostly of war- like mould and as brave fighters as any of the human race. I was especially im- pressed with the inhabitants of the Cop- an and Gracias districts. They are the best fighting stock in all Latin America. Three or four hundred of them will often defeat an army of thrice their size. are ever eager for battle, and reek nothing of heavy adverse odds. They are supposed to be Christians, but from what I saw and learned from others I came to the belief that they practise ' heathen rites and ceremonies. They are excel- lent friends, but terrible enemies, and if defeated in battle are apt to visit their wrath on their unfortunate. officers. "These Indians cling to their primitive customs and do most of their hunting with bows and arrows. The way they use the bow is rather unique. They sight their game, calculate' the distance, and then shoot their arrows into the air, whereupon the weapon falls _upon the mark, whether bird of beast, seven times out of ten, with fatal effect. The eountry they inhabit is pito cold, and often in the morning I hare seen a thin coat of ice over the jar of water placed on my table.

When the first fire company, in res- ponse to an alarm, reached the long row of tenements, the fire -captain at once jumped •from his engine and en- deavored to locate the fire.

"Any fire up there?" he yelled, when he had reached the pavement beneath this building. In answer, the eed woman motioned for him to oonee,tt ':"` Accordingly, the captain, with his men lugging their heavy hose bebind them, laboriously ascended the eight flights and burst into the room where the old woman was.

Reasons Why It is Better Done in the Morning Rather Than at Night. "You wouldn't think," said a watch- maker, "that it would make any differ- ence whether a watch is wound up in the morning or at night, but it does make considerable difference, "When a watch is wound up at night, coming out of a warm pocket, and laid down or hung up in a cool place, •the mainspring will contract by the cooling off of the metals. Being wound up tight- ly all chance of contracting has been shut off and the spring is bound to break. If, however, the watch is wound up In the morning, having pertly run clown through the night, there is room enough left 10 the barrel to contract. Another reason why it should be wound up in the morning is that the spring will then have more power and thus will be in a better condition to resist the disturbing move- ments of tihe bearer during the daytime. "Being generally in a horizontal posi- tion during the night and running with less power, the horizontal position, in which the balance rune more freely, will operate to make the length of the swing of the balance wheel during the night as nearly as possible the same as in the daytime."

"Lincoln," said Mr. MaeGilkarnby, "told a story about a little steamboat running on the Wabash River with a whistle so big that when the captain blew it he had to tie up to the bank for an hour or two to get up steam enough to go on. He had only a little boat, bort he wanted to make as much noise as anybody on the river. "And isn't it so, by the way, with our friends the automobilists? If you don't see it you can't tell by the sound of the horn whether the machine coming is a veritable battleship of a car -with a limousine body and with fouteen extra tires clamped to it, and with hampers and baskets strapped to it all over, and with seven trunks on the roof, a regular house on wheels driven by a hundred horse -power engine; or a rickety little second hand two horse -power runabout, for the floppy little runabout is alto- gether likely to carry a bigger and louder horn than the majestic touring car.
