"I simply wanted to point out that vou were asking for a staircase when all you wanted was a spoon." New York Globe. Gray Versus Brown Camels. The length of a stage varies tnrougaout 1'ersia, depending on the character of the country, and is reckoned in farsaks, the old Greek parasang. The farsak is a most elastic and uncertain measure, and as animals are paid for per farsak as many as the credulity of the traveler will allow are crowded into each stage. "How far," I once askd an old Kurdish muleteer, "is a farsak?" "As far, as one can dis tinguish a gray from a brown cam el," was the discreet answer. They average about four miles and the stage about six farsaks, or twenty five miles. Atlantic. His Idiosyncrasy. Dr. William Babbinton, physician to Guy's hospital in the early years of the last century, wns an Irish man, lie was described by Sir Astley Cooper as "the most delight ful of men."

I tried it twice in Dublin, and it would not stay on my stomach either time." British Medical Journal. Good Advice. The revivalist Sam Jones was once taking women to task for spending more time in prinking than in praying. "If there's a wom an here," he screamed finally, "who prays more than she prinks, let her si&nd up." One poor old, faded specimen of femininity, in the sorri est, shabbiest of clothes, arose. "You spend more time rraving thrri pranking?" asked the preacher, tak ing her all in. The poor old crea ture said' she did prayed all the time, prinked not at all. "You go straight home," admonished Jones, ft 8 50 Mr s 2-Way SideM Plow. The accompanying cut illustrates the very latest improvements in Plow construction, showing several advantages over any other Sidehill Plow on the mar ket. One of the most important of these improvements is the extra long axle, making the distance between the wheels 8 inches greater than any other make of Plow. This of itself is a great advantage to the user, as it allows a greater adjustment of the bottoms, that is, a 16 inch Plow can be made to turn 18 or even 20 inches of ground on sidehill work, and also makes the Plow much harder to upset on steep ground.
