This is not the case with beef. When cooked the flesh is densea and heavier than beef, and has a sweetish taste. Horse fat melts to a clear fluid at a low temperature—something like 70 degrees—while for beef fat the tem- perature must be 112 degrees. This is perhaps the best and surest test. Raw horse flesh has a curious me- tallic odor that is not noticed in beef. Horse flesh has been used to some ex- tent for food in this country, but whe- ther there is much of it now is a ques- tion that is hard to determine.

""The blondes are ie disappearing human type," says ,Anthropologist Otis T. Mason, of the . Smithsonian T2rstitutlem "They are going fast. Blonde women are becoming scarcer every day, and to- day there are not nearly so many fair- haired and _"blue-eyed beauties as there were 50 years ago. Already such a thin; the e, real blonde, purely such, is so rarely seen in this country as to excite remark, and golden tresses are so in- frequent that veritable ares are usually suspected to be dyed. In short,. it has become evident that before long this type of feminine lovelines will have practically vanished from the earth. lou may judge how rapidly the blondes are going when you consider the fact that wherever a brunette man marries a blonde woman, or vice versa, 66 per cent..of the children born have dark hair and eyes. At that rate not many centuries will be required to wipe out- the fair type altogether." Student Stumped the Professor.

Bartleman, a well-known farmer, is the man cured and he makes the following statement: "I had Kidney Trouble, and it develop- ed into Diabetes. I went to the doctor, but his treatment was of no use what- ever to me. I began to take Dodd's Kid- ney Pills in December, 1002. I took them all winter and summer while I was unable to work my farm. I took 12 boxes in all, and in August I was able to work. "Now I am quite strong. I worked all winter without pains in my back or any part of my body. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." • If the Kidney Disease is of long stand- ing it may take tithe to cure it. But Dodd's Kidney Pills will do it.

What a laugh in the class the stu- dent's answer produced when he said: "An inside and an outside." But this was nothing compared with what followed. The doctor said to the student: "And you attend the moral phil- osophy class also?" "Yes." "Well, you would hear lectures on va- rious subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?" "Yes." "Does an effect go before a cause?" "Yes." "Give me an instance." "A men wheeling a barrow." The doctor then sat down and propos- ed no more questions. Intense Grammar.

A man who had been notorious for his cruelties while engaged in the slave trade lay dying in a squalid hut in Edinburgh. According to the Scotch custom the fam- ily opened the door to let the spirit pass. To their infinite horror the bloody head of a' black man suddenly rolled into the room. The family shrieked with fright, the man on the bed gave a yell of terror. They turned to his bedside, but he ex- pired as they watched. When they 'looked toward the door again the head had disappeared. There was a splash of fresh blood upon the floor to mark the spot where it had been, but nothing else to certify that the hor- rid sight had not been a creation of morbid imagination. This appearance of a negro's head in the room of a man dying after he had committed innumerable barbarities upon black slaves was a strange coincidence and nothing more. Prof. Owen, the fam- ous anatomist, had been attending an anatomical lecture, where the body of a negro had been dissected. bla was taking the head home with him to examine it more carefully. The streets were wet and slippery. Just as he was passing the open door he tripped, and the head, slipping from the cloth in which he had it, rolled into the little room. The cry of the dying man diverted the attention of those veho were in the room, so that Owen was able to secure his treasure and depart un- noticed. "At Tangier," said a Chicagoan, "1 once saw Raisuli. He looked as magnifi- cent as an Indian rajah, and a French- man told me that he had a foolhardy and reckless valor. "This Frenchman said that Raisuli had entered the shooting gallery of Tangier one day while a Tunisian was trying a little pistol practice. "The Tunisian was an excellent shot. He broke glass balls, rang bells, split pipe stems and penetrated bull's ayes without number. At each shot a polite murmur of applause arose. The man was all puffed up with triumph. "Raisuli looked on with a sneer, and finally he said in a loud voice: "'In a duel this gentleman wouldn't shoot so well,' "We'll see about that,' yelled the Tun- isian, and he challenged Raisula and ten minutes later they were on the field. "They were to fight at 12 paces, each each to fire one shot. Lots were drawn as to who should shoot first, and Rai- suli lost. He took his stand before the Tunisian calmly and the latter lifted his weapon, took careful aim, and— missed. "Raisuli smiled. `What did I tell you?' he said. "And be thrust his pistol in his belt and strode away, humming a French song."—Philadelphia Ledger. Teacher—The sentence, "My father had money," is in the past tense.

An ordinary echo is a curious thing, but, says the Youth's' Companion, ac- cording to the statements of a French- man at a watering place in the Pyrenees one echo on the .Franco -Spanish frontier is so far from ordinary that it must have started in America. "As soon as you have spoken," said the Frenchman, who had secured an audience of wild-eyed tourists, "you hear distinctly the voice leap from rock to rock, from precipice to precipice, and as soon as it has passed the frontier it assumes the Spanish tongue!

A man who has investigated is pre- rared to explain why the housekeeper of modest means is never sable to serve steak as it is found in the best restaur- ants, at least �aai inch in thickness, and filled with juices in proportion.

Many naturalists have the theory that hares do not drink, or that water is not a .necessity for them, and that the dew osis the egress is suffioieut, for their needs.
