iny of a Day In the Stock For a
Fit of Bad Temper. . v
v record on file In the library of cod
;ss contains an account of the ad
iiturea of a certain Ilubburd, wbo
.9 fientenced In Boston to tbe stocks
r having Indulged Id an uowarrant
Je fit of ill temper, says Uarper'a
eekly. When be bad taken bis seat
r the day there came along a drove
t swine, which seemed to cast upou
id those leering looks that only a fat
;g can bestow. A dog followed. sniff
ig M the prisoner's feet and making
oints unpleasantly approaching, real
ty of biting hlra. Then a cock, mount
ag to the very top of the stocks,
rowed his derision upon the victim
elow. and presently a rough fellow,
after Indulging in ugly taunts, threw
at him fetid toadstools and a dead
snake.
' Then ao Indian appeared, who in a
drunken rage, stimulated by some fau
cled Injury, rusbed at Hubbard wlth
a tomahawk, probably Intending noth
ing worse, however, than to give him
a severe fright, which he certainly suc
ceeded In doing.
i rielp came from an unexpected quar
ter, for at. that moment nu old bull
came tearing down the rnnd. Hls at
tention was uttnieted .by the stiwk
and with a ronr he prepared for a
charge.
' Alarmed in his turn. i!n suv.ut
dashed off. The bull made a dash a
the stocks and carried away r'n- mr
ner post, but without even irntzliitf'tli
object "f hi nppnrent wrath. Wliethet
he wan disgusted by the little lie liae
accomplished or his aiiiiim.slt.v wax
thus satisfied, he started off. bellowing
and shnklne his hend. much tn tho m.
lief of the said Hubbard. ,, , .
And then the unfortunate mnn was
left In comparative peace to his own
meditations and the cutting sleet of a

A' COURSE OF DINNERS.
It Includes Roasted Peas as a Substi
tute For Coffee.
In a little book called "Tbe Econom
ical Housekeeper." published about the
year 1S40, there is given on one page
"A Course of Dinners For a . Week,'.'
At tbe time of its publication the little
book was most popular, as is proved
by the author's preface to the second
revised edition. She says:
" "Encouraged by the very favorable
reception that our humble labors have
met iu the rapid Bale of the first edl-
. tioo of , 1.5O0 copies , in about fifteen
weeks., and the demand still continu
ing, we have Improved the time by en
deavoring to wake the preseut edition
more worthy of patronage. If possible,
thao the first." .
Therefore It la probable that the
"course of dinners" which follows was
considered admirable at that time:
"Monday Tea, coffee or cocoa, with
mincemeat, bread and butter in win
ter, bread and milk In summer.
"Tuesday Boiled dish, with apple
dumplings. f-,;
"Wednesday Roasted or baked meat
with bread pudding. ' .
"Thursday Broiled ; steak or fresh
fish, with baked rice pudding. ,
"Friday Baked beans, 'with baked
Indian pudding.
. "Saturday Salt codfish boiled, with
apple pie.
','Sunday Morning, bashed fish and
coffee: noon, bread and butter, cheese,
pie. doughnuts."
It Is a suggestive paragraph which
appears on the same page:
"Peas, roasted and ground, are an
excellent substitute for coffee, and you
would hardly know which is best"
Youth's Companion.
Value of the Kangaroo's Tail.
So important Is the kangaroo's tail
in his rapid progress that experienced
hunters with guns are accustomed to
fire at the point where this appendage
joins the body, when, the tall being
disabled for Its office of balancing, the
animal Is as effectually stopped as If
hamstrung. Bit elsewhere, except
with a rifle bullet or at point blank
range, the kangaroo Is pretty likely to
get off. . One peculiarity of the kanga
roo la that, after being started up. be
very rarely swerves from his course,
through which peculiarity he is easily
"potted" by hunters, who conceal
themselves while a man on horseback
drives the herd toward them.
Insect Wonders.
Nothing can exceed the perfection of
the minutest parts of the Insect or
ganization in general. The finest
strand in a spider's web. which can
scarcely be seen, is said to be com
posed of no less than 4,000 threads.
On a single wing of a butterfly have
been found 100,000 scales and on that
of a silkworm moth 400,000. each of
these minute scales being a marvel of
beauty and completeness in Itself. So
this are the wings of many insects
that 60,000 placed over each other
would only be a quarter of an inch
thick, and yet thin as they are. each
is double. . .
Puzzled Tommy.'
"Pa." said Tommy. ' "my Sunday
school teacher says If I'm good I'll go
to heaven."
"Welt, what about ItV said his pa..
"Well, you said If 1 was good I'd go
to the circus. Now. 1 want to know
who's fibbing, you or her." Lippln-
Old Mosque Legends. :
Tbe great Begova insjue in Sera-!
jevo is the largest mosque in Europe
after those of Constantinople aud Se- I
lini a iuoso,ue In Adrlanople. In It
courtyard stauds uu old Btone. acros
the top of which there is a groove pre
clsely the length of a Turkish ell. Tra-
dltlon says that a pasha placed it there
to checkmate the. local merchants'
habitual use of false measures In defi
ance of the express commandment of
the Koran.
But another of Serajevo's hundred
mosques has a . much better legend.
Before this may be seen the tombs of
the seven holy dervishes who were be
headed 200 years ago for a great theft
After the decapitation " each body
tucked Its bead under Its arm and
walked iuto the mosque. So those der
vishes are worshiped as saints to this
day.,
A Largo Velum.
Tbe biggest book In Washington Is
not in tbe Congressional library. It
Is in the reference room of the geo
logical survey on F street, where Us
huge bulk reposes on a stand made
especially for It. It is a dictionary and
consists of half a dozen volumes
bound under one generous cover that
must have taken several calfskins to
provide the leather binding. It con
tains 7.085 pages and weighs as much
as a high school girl. By contrast tbe
fat Webster's Unabridged that lies
alongside this great Jumbo of a book
looks like a pocket .edition of the
"Rubaiyat."

Suits Some Death to Others, i
"Iron may be good for the blood of
some." remarked the worm . as the
angler threaded the hook through him
gently, "but 1 fsvjr It . will be the death
of me!" . :, '' .
And yet the fish that swallowed the
Iron a little later was quite carried
away with It.
