The Stableman's Plan
On one occasion a famous cl rgyman
witnessed the tact of a stabl man In
.coaxing a recalcitrant colt into stall
and soothing him until crimple ely rec-
onciled. Having expressed his ongrat-
ulations, he remarked with a ouch of
melancholy:
"I wish I could get the wor. mgmen
of my parish into church as a.sily as
you get your young horses i ato their
stalls, Thomas."
"Weil, sir," said Thomas, " should
think it could be done, proyi in' you
understands the nature of em an'
gives your mind to it."
The cleric smiled. Thome. might
manage horses, but workingm n -that
was a different matter.
"Perhaps you'll think it over
me know your method," he fin
gested.
Thomas promised and, bein
ed to a few days later, was re
his "method."
"And you think you have
plan to get workingmen to
Thomas?"
"I 'think so, sir."
"And how would you?"

Irish Wit.
I must 'admit that Irish wi is. often
of the most mordant and e'en sar-
donic kind. Was there ever a more
sera nic stroke of descripti n than
that O'Connell gave of Peers. blood-

good of its kind, is ehe folios Int; fish-

"Very little credit is dee to him for

let him hunt for them up and down
until I have finished dressing."

shaeine. 1 EgyPt.
The earliest reference to shaving of
the beard is found in Genesis xli, 14, i
where we read that JoSeph on being
suntraoned before the king shaved
himself. There are several references
as to shaving- in Leviticns, and the
practice is alluded to in aany other
parts of the Bible. However, Egypt
is the only country mentioned in the
Bible where shaving, IV 0.S practieed.
In all other countries at that time
such an act would have been consid-e
ered ignominious. Herodotus men-
tions that the Egyptians allowed their
beards to grow when. they were in
mourning. So particular were they as
to shaving at all other times that to
have neglected it was to make one-
self the butt of coatse and ridiculous
jokes
Even in this day and age when the
Egyptian wants to convey the idea
of a Man of low condition and sloven-
ly hebits he always pictures to you
a man with a ,full beard. This netion
is very ancint; a fact attested by
,works of art found in burial .monu-

Southern Europe.
A traveler writes: "I have often been
struck by the ease with which people
in southern Europe are amused. In
Paris 109,000 people go out to Long -
champs for the Grand Prix race, and
half a million people go out and line
the roads on their return to see them
come beak. In Rome at the feast of the
"Divino Amore" 5,000 people go out on
the Campagna to a spot where once
stood a temple to Venus and bold a
picnic, while 50,000 go' out and line the
Appian way to see them returh. In
Madrid this peculiarity is even more
marked. On the Puerta del Sol about a
thoupand people stand around and do
nothing outdoors, while crowds of peo-
ple11 sit indoors or lean from balconies o
watch them do it. And in Seville tl e
idle rich sit in clubs and cafes on t e
Sierpes to watch the lower classes walk
by, while the lower classes walk by jto
watch the idle rich sitting in the clubs
and cafes on the Sierpes."
Reading the Bible.
How klieg veill it take a person to
read the Old Testament, with its 592,-
439 evords, or the 181,253 words of the
New Teetamept? And how long to
read the 773,692 words of both? ,
A Man can read understandingly 100
words every Minute. By hurrying a
man can read 160 words, ot probably
more. I i will 4ssume that a man ca.n
read ceiticaPye-that is, carefully, and
understanding* -at least sixty words
a minute. That is slow reading, being
only 3,600 wotids an hour. Suppose a.
man should devote an hour a day to
the Bible. ;
At thie rate1 he would read 108,000
words in thirty days, or'ba a month's
time, He wonld therefore read the
Old restiment!1n ess thanssix months,'
and he 'would; fin sh the New Teeta-
ment in less an «0 mOnths.

A. Bird That Is reared.
The elster (Pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through, -
nit south Germany. It belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of a
dove, with black and white 'feathers
and long, pointed tail. It builds its
nest in orchards, and its life is satred.
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in a place remote
from its home it is believed te be a
sure sign of death le that house. If it
flies over a house where any one is ill
and gives its peculiar ery the sick per.
son is sure to die, but if it does not
scream the patient may recover. It ia
better for the sick Berson if the bird
does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and if bychance one of them should
die it is a sign of bad luck to the own-
er of the property where it was found.
The bird is a valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.

A LARGE BOtTLE, 25e,
To Induce Itumilitir Da a Peacock..
If you wish to take the conceit out of
a peacock pull out his tail feathers, and
as soon as he finds the glory of his
plumage gone he becomes the hum-
blest, most subdued and ashamed look-
ing bird that ever walked the earth. A
peacock in full feather is so vain and
conceited as sometimes to be really
troublesome. Not satisfied with squali-
ing at the top of his discordant voice
and with paradbag up And down the
walks with expanded phimage, he will
attack cats, dogs and even children and
has been known to seriously injure
small boys or girls that were incau-
tious enough to venture withinbbs
reach.
Plucking his tail feathers, however,
causeall his courage to evaporate.
He will sneak around the yard like a
whipped spaniel, will keep out of sight
as much as possible, and. you will hear
nothing of him until his plumage has
again grown.*

Dumas, like Balzac, was fond of Ids
own creations. Among them ail he
loved Porthos best. The great, strong,
vain hero was a child after hie own
heart. One afternoon, it is related, his
son found Dumas careworn, wretehed,
overwhelmed. "What has happened to
you? Are you ill?" asked DUMAS ills.
replied Dumas pere.
what is it, then?" "I am Miserable?'
"Why?" "This morning I killed Por-
thos-poor Porthos! Oh, what trouble
I have had to make up nay mind to do
it! Rut there must be an end to all
things. Yet when saw him sinking
beneath the ruins crying, 'It is too
heavy, too heavy for me'? I swear to

Parrots Are Vegetarians.
Parrots are vegetarians. They live
chiefly upon a light but nutritious
diet a fruit and seed or upon the
abundant nectar of rich tropical flow-
ers. And it is mainly for the sake of
getting at their chosen food that they
have developed the large and power-
ful bills which characterize the fami-
ly. You may have perhaps noted the
most tropical fruit eaters, like the
hornbills and the toucans, are remark-
able for the size and strength of- their
beaks.
