After much thought he .rubbed his
hands with delight. He created mice,
aud they multiplied by thousands in thei.
wink of an eye. The cell of St. Franci&--,
was filled by them, and he tried -in vain
to drive them out with his . hands and
feet. But as he drove them .out 'of the
door they swarmed in at the window,
and when he closed both, door and win-
dow they crept up through holes in the
brick floor or dropped down through;
cracks in the ceiling. Then they clam-
bered up the saint's tunic, node beds in
his straw mattress, played "franks in his
provision basket and were generally of-
fensive. At last St. Francis, after re-
citing a fervent prayer, burst out laugh-
ing. The mice were beginning to at-
tack him in thousands, when a beautiful
little cat was created in the sleeve Of his
tunic. So he cried to the mice, "I im-
plore you to stop and go your ways or
you will repent it." >
The mice answered by pushing their
noses against the bare akin of the saint,
as though they wanted to pierce through
him, so he drew the beautiful little cat
out of his sleeve, and it sprang at the
mice blessed with such miraculous hun-
ger that it swallowed two at a time of
the big ones.and three or four of the lit-
tle ones. St. Francis.hoped the' would
have been exterminated and rushed to
stop up a hole in the ;ceiling (he had al-
ready shut the door and the window), but
he was not quick enough. A pair of
mice escaped, and thus we have_ those
tiresome mice all over the .world. St.
Francis then uttered another prayer, and
his beautiful little cat was granted a
companion., They multiplied- exceeding-
ly and have always been favorites with
devout old ladies because they are a
creation of St. Francis. -London Spec-
tator.
Camel Races.
Camel races are held regularly in the
south of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragernent of the
breed' of racers, and asmuch interest is
taken in their preparation and perform-
ance as in that of race horses at Latonia.
The racing camels are the result of very
careful breeding through Many genera-
tions. and in size, temper and appearance
y are so different from -the ordinary
beast of burden that they might almost -
be considered a different ra-ce of animals.
Perhaps the most conspicuous charac-
teristic of the ordinary camel is its ex-
treme slowness. Nothing on earth will
ever induce it to hurry. . A $20 note will
buy a very fair specimen,- but for a me-
tier', or racing camel, five or ten times
that sum is required to effect a purchase.
The racer:. however, can be depended
on for nine or ten milestan hour and kept
UL) for 10 or 17 hours almost without a
stop. The pace in a camel race is gen-
erally fast and furious at the beginning,
when all the animals are together and
seem to realize that a contest is in prog-
ress.
Might Have Been Waur.
An amusing golf story comes from "S.
G." In a fonrsome competition at
Alachriharnish one Scotchman of the par-
ty, a man of optimistic temperament, al-
ways remarked, "It might have been
waur," whenever he put. the ball into a
peculiarly difficult bunker.
• IIis irritated partner determined to
rouse Macnab from his imperturbable
serenity and Said to him when next they
played,- "Macnab, I dreamed la,st night
you were in hades."• -
"It might have been waur," came the
reply, pat.
"How .waur?" said the Englishman.
"It might have been true," replied
Macnab. might have been there."
The Scotchman ended at least "one
Your Right Side.
You have probably noticed, if you are a
man, that when your tie gets loose it in-
variably slips round to the left. This is
because you use •your right side during
the day about five times as much as your
left. This movement rebuts on your
shirt collar, causing it and. your tie to
move in the opposite direction. The mus-
cles on an average man's right side have
more than double the strength of those
on his left side; in fact, so great is this
disproportion in development that by the
time a man or woman reaches AO the
right side is even to the eye more fully
-developed than the. left, and in many
cases this disproportionate growth is
highly :injurious to health, as it is liable
to force the interior organs out of place.
It Didn't Appear.
Apropos of the current talk of the ad-
visability of suppressing the special cor-
respondent in wartime, a .story may be
quoted from The Spectator:
puring the Franco-Prussian war a
well known English correspondent .was
sent to the front by his paper, and on one
ocbasion Von Moltke sent for him and
said:
"Mr. -, on such and such a day the
German army will perform such and
Buell a movement. If that appears in
the - (naming the paper), you will be
sh�t." •
f course the news did not appear.
Both Ways. ,

"How's that?"
"Why,' doctoral say that noises cause
nervous diseases. and I know from my
wife's hysterics Pe4at nervous diseases

FRANKLIN'S MAXIMS.
• The rolling stones gather no moss.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
He that goes a -borrowing returns sor-
rowing.
Rather go to bed supperless than rise
In debt. •
Creditors have better memories than
debtors.
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than
labor wears._
Extravagance and improvidence end at
the prison door.
If you would have your business done,
go, if not, send.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
Pride is as loud as want and a great
deal more saucy.
It is easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one in fuel.
It is foolish to lay out money In the
purchase of repentance.
A life of leisure and a life of laziness
are two different things.
Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets,
put out the kitchen fire.
If you would know the value of mon-
ey, go and try to borrow some.
Plow deep while sluggards 'sleep, and
you shall have corn to sell and keep.
Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined
with Poverty and supped with Infamy.
KITCHEN HELPS.
Fewer dishes will be broken if a small
wooden tub is provided instead of the or-
dinary dishpan.
Never let the boiler be empty, Never
put cold water into it if it should happen
to be empty, and especially if it should be
hot at the same time.
Carafes and water bottles may be kept
bright by the use of a handful of fine
'ashes mixed with the soapy water in
which they are washed.
Knives should be scoured regularly -ev-
ery time they are used, and drops of wa-
ter should never be allowed to dry on the
steel blade of a knife, as the mark made
is almost permanent.
ANIMAL ODDITIES.
The deer really weepS, its eyes being
provided with lachrymal glands.
Fish are able to yawn. They open
their mouths slowly till they are round,
the_bones of the head seem to loosen,
and the gills open.
Kites always carry odds and ends of
what they consider ornaments to their
nests. Among other things pages of
books &Nave, been found in them.

INDIAN TATTOOING.
It Was a Universal Custom With the
Aborigines of Old Louisiana.
•Tattooing was a universal custom
among the Indians of old Louisiana with
both sexes. Among the men it possessed
a significance attaching to their career as
Warriors, and their tattoo marks were
testimonials of distinction. With the
womeF it seems_ to have been mejrely a
matte of adornment.: From their girl-
hood he women caused themselvesto be
tattooed on the face. Sometimes it was
a line of tattooing across the top of the
nose, sometimes the line was up and
down the chin, and not infrequently the
entire upper part of the body was thus
naarked.
The young men of the nation also sub-
jected themselves to the tattooing process
by being tatteoed first on the nose, like
the women, and not until they had given
evidence of their courage were they priv-
ileged to receive tattoo marks en any
other part of the body,' This testimony
of their merit aswarriors was reserved
for them when they had .distinguished
themselves in war by killing an enemy in
battle or by bringing with them from the
field of carnage the scalp of an ‘netny
taken in the fight. When they had thus
given evidence of their worthiness to be
ranked among the warriors, they had the
right to tattoo their bodies with emblems
and figures illustrative and 'commemora-
tive of the incident in which they had
proved their valor.
- Every man and woman aMong the In-
dians yielded -to the arbitrary ' custom of
tattooing. but the warriots •.aboVe all
were carried away by this sort- et vanity,
and not one of that class by any chance
allowed his opportunity to receive this
patent of knighthood to peso by neglect-
ed. One of the ordinary methods adopted
by a warrior to commetnorate a heroic
deed in battle, io which he possibly _had
killed or in some way oveeeome an en-
emy, was to cause a tomahaWIr to be tat-
tooed upon his right shoulder and under
it the hieroglyphic sign of the natiO to
which belonged the conqueqd ma.n.:
The operation of tattooing required
considerable fortitude to be borne ivith-
out so much as wincing. A designi was
First drawn on the skin, and this design
was then pricked with six needle§ firmly
fastened on a line in a flat piece of wood.
After this finely powdered Charcoal was
rubbed into the punctures made by the
needles, leaving an ineffaceable print of
the design. The Operation caused much
inflammation and sometimes, fever, which
brought on severe sickness' in case the
patient was neglected while the swelling
lasted. While the sickness remained the
onlyifood given was Indian corn, and

nearly through, the evidence bad all gone

in describing the dog, stated it was a
yellow cur. "Did you say that this dog
was yellow?" asked the judge, taken by
surprise. "Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Well, this court doesn't propose giving
judgment for the loss of a yellow dog,
and verdict is rendered for defendant!'
The court then adjourned. -San Fran-

A Mother's Sacrifice.
Legends In India ran that if a woman
stricken with leprosy suffers herself to
be buried alive the disease will not de-
scend to her children.
There was in the northwest provinces
of -India the wife of a gardener on .whom
the loathsome malady had fallen. Chil-
dren were born to her. The disease grew
worse. She importuned her busblind to
bury her alive. • He at last, yielding to
her prayers, summoned his son. The two
dug the graVe, and four neighbors assist-
ed at the sepulture. So the woman died.
These facts were investigated ina
magistrdte's court and were proved.
