What sort of skate do you take me for? Next time I met him I told him I liked tbe roan better than any horse I ever saw. 'Be Isn't always rooting In the ground like a pig.' said I. "and if vou bad told me about bis patent dirigible neck I'd nave given yon $10 more.' We were sports In those days. "One time the veterinary surgeon told me about a floe trotting horse In a town some distance away which had heen deprived of its tail by a surgical oneratloti. I went and looked at the horse. He was a perrect beauty ana could trot like an avalanche. But be had lust a stump of a tall, and tbe owner was ashamed to drive him, so 1 bought the critter for a song. 1 went to a lot of trouble having a tail made for him. It was a beautiful, flowing tail, a credit to the hairdressers art. it wns fixed to slin over the horse's stub tall and was theu fastened to the crupper of i lie harness, aud a mail needed good eyes to see that It wiisii i the real thing. The major had poor eyes, and when 1 took him for -a drive behind thai black Holier lie simply hud to he tied down to the wilt he was so excited. He said he'd always wanted a horse .irj. n tall like that. He had my own weakness. Fie couldn't preiend Indif ference when he wanted a thing the worst way, and be wanted that horse so bad that his hair was falling out. After a great deal of deliberation I issued mv ultimatum. " 'I'll give you the home, harness and buggy Just as they stand.' said I. 'for your sorrel threo-yeur-olds and $50.' Either of the sorrels wns worth a herd of horses like the black. "It's a trade, cried the major. "Next morning the major came nroiind to my bam all smiles. 'Ever since 1 was a child and qui! playing .h n rattle.' says he. '1 have wanted n horse with n detachable tail - a lull that a man could take off and use as chin whiskers at a masked hall. I Just culled to pay yon another ISO cents, so that wben 1 meet you aner tnis you can't say 1 took advantage of you In our trade yesterday.'

'Olid Notice of Final Account A Custom 8omewhat Common Among the Yellow Races. A French savant. It, Lannelongue. In a communication to the Paris Acad emy of Sciences maintains that among the yellow races, the Cbluese, the Jap anese and the Malays, the foot Is used as an organ of prohenslou. like tbe hand, to a far greater extent than Is cpnprallv sutmosed. He says that while In Tokyo he saw a young man sitting . . i,i. In a theater box grasping me ran nu hla feet lust as though Ihey were bauds. ever and anon using his right foot to scratch bis left thigh The fact that the Japanese usually sit on their heels at meals and In the house develops extreme suppleness and mobility in the feet and toes, and the prehenslve function is still further encouraged by the fact that tbe Japanese who adhere to the ancient customs wear forked stockings nuii dispense with the Index ible and constraining European shoe. Chinese iiosttiicn navigate their boats lying dewn. steering with their annus and rowing with their feet The oar is held between the bl lot aud the others. The natives frequently use their feet to collect and to pick up small objects lying on the grouud, and sometimes even catch mice with their toes. M. Lannelongue holds that the yellow races, who are able to use their feet somewhat as the elephant uses his trunk or the monkey his tall, enjoy a very considerable advantage In the everlasting struggle for existence over the less fortunate Caucasians, who are able to employ their feet only for loco motion purposes.-Phlladelpula Ledger.
