How He Did !t.
"W hen I was connected with a cer­
tain western railw ay," say» n promi­
nent official of an eastern line, “ we
had In our employ a brnkemnu who,
for special service rendered to the
road, was granted a mouth's vacation.
" l i e decided to spend hla time In a
trip over the Rockies. W e furnished
him with passes.
“ He went to Denver and there met
a number o f Ills friends at work on one
of the Colorado roads. They gave him
a good time and when be went away
made b i u i a present of a mountain
goat.
•’ Evidently our brakeman was at a
loss to get the animal borne with him,
ns the express charges were very
heavy at that time. Finally, however,
bitting upon a happy expedient, ho
made out a shipping tag and tied It to
the horns o f the goat. Then he pre­
sented the beast to the othee of the
stock ear line.
“ W ell, that tag created no end of
amusement, but It served to accom­
plish the end of the brakeman. It was
inscribed as follows:
‘“ Please pass the butter. Thomas J,
Meecbln, brakeman, S. S. und T. By.' “
—Harper's Weekly.
Ant Merchant*.
Ant merchants, clad In leather nn
derwear, are to be fouud in Paris,
London and several other European
cities.
W herever pheasants are pre­
served the ant merchant Is In detnaud.
It is not, however, ants, but the eggs
o f ants, that the man chiefly deals In
From every part o f Euroi>e ants are
shipped to him, and he keeps them In
sut ruus—places similar in their nature
to chiekeu runs—and he feeds and
tends them carefully, so that their
health will keep tine and they will lay
generously.
The eggs he packs in wooden boxes
and ships to various earls, dukes,
counts and other game preserves in
different parts o f the world. And the
ants themselves he slays as soon ns
they cease to lay, pressing them and
selling them in black bloeks similar
to plug tobacco to dealers In birds and
bird food.
It is Interesting to be an nnt mer­
chant, but leather underwear Is essen­
tial to the business, as the little crea­
tures bite unmercifully.—New ^Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Coincidence.
The strange story told by a default­
ing debtor o f his being recognized after
he had been for six years trying to
live down the past is not so strange a
story as one which came within the
ken o f Professor Jowett. A good man
went w rong, was caught and sentenced
at Liverpool to imprisonment A fter
the sinner had served his term Jowett
and others helped him, and he obtained
a colonial editorship where his past
was unknown.
He did well; was a
new man. One day a tornado swept
off the roof o f his office. Under the
roof was discovered a batch o f old
English papers which had been placed
there anti forgotten after the mail had
brought them. lie set members of Ills
staff to work to get out of the derelicts
anything which might be Interesting
enough to prlni. The first thing that
they found was a full report o f the
trial and conviction o f the man him­
self, their editor, at Liverpool all those
years before.—St. James’ Gazette.
Pants and Trousers.
Everybody talks well when he talks
In the way he likes, the way he can’t
help, the way he never thinks of. The
rest is effort and pretense. The man
who says "trousers" because lie likes
to say it and the man who says “ pants"
because he likes to say it are both
good fellows with whom a frank soul
could fraternize, but the man who says
“ trousers” when he wants to say
“ pants" is a craven and a truckler,
equally hateful to honest culture and
wholesome Ignorance. Ho belongs In
the same sordid category with the man
who wears tight shoes and high col­
lars that are a torment to the flesh,
who eats olives that he doesn’t relish
and drinks uncongenial clarets In Imi­
tation o f Ills genteel neighbor In the
brownstone front.—Atlantic.

Book Evolution.
“ Books” have progressed from the
days when they were only wooden rods
or bits o f Imrk. For the derivation
which connects “ book” directly with
“ beech.” both having been “ hoc” In
Anglo-Saxon, Is tho favorite one.
"Buchstalieri." the German word for
letters of the alphabet, means literally
“ beech staves." Many book words go
back to such vegetable origin. Tho
