Paupers in the Xining Region. r A CURIOUS INSCRIPTION,
Picked. Hp by a -ran Man When la a
Scottish Kirk 'Yard.
Mr. R. T. .Aitkin, when in Scotland
hist almoner, copied from a tombstone
itt Lilliesleaf Kirk yard an interesting
inscription. It reads:
Stop, traveller, as you go by,
once had life and breath,
But falling from a steeple high
I swiftly passed through
Take you example byeny fate,
And be by me advised,
Repent before it is too late
Lost you be so surprised.
Connection with the inscription is an
interesting story. James Hunter, a
wright or carpenter, a young man of 28,
on October 17th, 1803, was engaged with
two other workmen in repairing a very
high steeple on a jeaburgh church. A
bar was to be placed in a hole near the
top of the steeple. Hunter vointeered
to make the ascent and reaching the top
he trembled for a moment and called
down, "Which hole?" "He's going to
fall," one workman said to the other.
"He sees two boles and there is only
one." The words were scarcely said
when Hunter released his grip and fell
crashing to the ground. --Galt Reporter.

Bald -Headed Men Want Many Hair Cuts.
The secretive, taciturn barber was fin-
ally induced to talk. He remarked:
have noticed one peculiarity ,ebout my
customers that I could. never quite ex-
plain. The less hair it man has the more
attention he pays to it.
"There's a real estate agent who comes
in here nearly every week for a hair out,
and if I shaved him clean from the back
of his collar to his forehead you'd never
know that I'd touched him. He's got a
short, light colored fringe that plays
around under the rim of his hat, like the
soft, fluffy fringe you see on those
shawls the women wear over their shoul-
ders, but you'd think, to hear him, that
he could braid it and do it up in coils.
Wants 2120 to be particular and trim it
close on the neck and around no ears.
I humor him, of course. take a hand-
ful of somebody else's hair and sprinkle
it on the cloth I put on him, and then I
snip the air gently for ten or fifteen
minutes and make a great ado when I
whisk him off.
"And when be leaves the chair and
says he mustn't let it grow so long again
I say it was pretty long. I hope the
Lord will forgive me. Nine out of every
ten of the bald heads are that way, but
men who've got plenty of hair Will keep
away from here until they look like the
edeee of an old-fashioned hayloft. It's,
curious, and, as I said, I never could
account for it." -Providence Journal.

Dancing Bears.
Sailors visiting the island of Ley-
san, in the Hawaiian group, are great-
ly amused by the curious antics of the
Laysan albatross, or gony. These birds
sometimes perform, in pairs, a. kind of
dance, or, as the. sailors call it, "cake -
walls." The albatrosses approach each
other, nodding- and making profound
bows, cross their bills, produce snapping
and greening sounds, rise on their toes,
puff out their breasts, and finally part
with more nodding and bowing, only to
come together again and repeat the per-
formane Occasionally thew engage at
once in this singular amusement.

Animals and Fire.
Most animals ale afraid of fire and
will fly from it in terror. To others
there is a fascination about a flame and
they will walk into it, even though thr-
tured by the heat. A horse in a burning
stable goes mad with fear, but a dog is
as cool in a fire as at any time. Ife
keeps his nose down to the floor, where
the air is purest, and sets himself calm-
ly to finding his way out . Cats in fires.
howl piteously. They hide their faces
from the light and crouch in corners.
leehen their rescuer lifts them they are,
as a rule, quite docile and subdued; never
biting or scratching. Birds seem to be
hypnotized by fire and keep perfectly
still; 'even the loquacious parrot in ft, fire
has nothing to say. Cows, like dogs, do
not show alarm. They are easy to lead
forth and often find their -way aout them-
selves..

Driving Long Distance ,to a Dance.
"People out West think nothing of a
drive of thirty or forty miles a- day,"
said J. W. Llewellyn, of Seattle, Wash,
"I was born on a stock ranch of about
2,000 acres, twenty-eight miles north of
Seattle, and we used to drive in to the
city for mail and other things, We
thought nothing of driving thirty miles
to a dance, enjoying ourselves until 3 ot,
3 o'clock in the morning, and then driv-
ing home again, and we did not seem
to be as tired as people do nowadays
when they dance till 12 o'clock, and then
ride.home a short distance in a .hack.
"I remember one experience I had in
particular. I started out one night to
attend ft dance forty miles uway. 1 had
gone about half -way when I had an ac-
cident and my rig broke down. After
a delay of over an hour I Managed to
fix it up so that it would stand a good
journey and resumed my trip.
'"By the time I reached the ball the
dance was over, butUs my surprise T
found a young woman 'sitting there On
the front steps. Iler esort had beecnne
'sore' at her, as she said, and hra gone
home with another girl, and she was
waiting for daylight in hopes some one
would come 'done and she could aet

Boiling Point of Water.
Water boils ac different temperatures, ae-
cording to the elevation above the sea level.
In 'London water boils practically at 213 de-
grees Fahrenheit; in Munich, Germany, et

degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an eleva-
tion of 18,000 feet above the level of the sea.
at 180 degrees. These differences•tare caused
by the varying. pressure of the atmosphere
at these points. In London the whole
weight of the air has to be overcome. 10
Mexico, 7,000 feet above the sea, there is
7,000 feet less at atmosphere to be resisted;
consequently, less heat is required and boil-
