A Natonal Oith.
When Mrs FH.-oholh King was trav
eling through tlevninuy, In IMd. she
had an experience which loft her turn
gry aa well us amused nt a hotel tu
Nonnettworth. In "Lord Kelvin's F.ar
ly Home" Mr. King tells the story:
There was a j large company In
the hold, am! Bt 1 o'clock the guests
assembled In a great hall for dinner.
About nit down at the long, nar
row table, we n the last comers at
the very bottom.

famous national dish. He said we
must dine on It, so as each course was
offered he refused and made us do the
name. At length two waiters removed
the stately Chit, and as It was carried
off he rublied his hands, exclaiming.
"Now we shall have some dinner:"
But, alas. It i'.Kr!Hared. and the com

Sir Arthur de Vera.
Shocked Hit Dad.
A pious and strict father, whose
mall son balked at going to church,
bowed the Irreverent boy oue day a
history of New England.
"Here Is a picture of the rurltans
going to church." said the father.
"What good and pious men! Notice
their sugar loaf hats. They walk In
Ingle file through the deep snow, and
each man entries a gun."
"What do they carry guns to church
for!" the boy asked with sudden In
terest. "For fear of the Indians," was the
reply. "The Indians were npt to He In
xvalt for them nt every turning. Ah.
what pious men they were, to he sure!
Think of thetu the next time yon want
to shirk your religious duties. Through
snow and sleet, through bitter cold,
through the perilous ambuscades of
the savage Indians, they wended their
way to church Sunday after Sunday
with pious, thankful hearts. Yet

"Oh, rats!" said the boy. "I'd go to
church every day In the week If I
could get a shot at an Indian on the
way."
Not a Rehearsal.
The Inquisitive man saw a hearse
tart away from a house at the head
of a funeral procession.
"Who's dead?" he asked the corner
grocer, who was standing In his door
watching the funeral start.
"Chon Schmidt," answered the gro
cer. "John Smith!" exclaimed the other.
"You don't mean to say John Smith U
dead?"
"Veil, py golly." rejoined the grocer,

A Substantial Bone.
So many witnesses bad queered bis
clients' vases by swearing that the
shots they had heard In a shooting af
fair were only thirty seconds apart
tht when pressed to tell what they
were doing whin each report was
beard, naming actions so dissimilar
thnt It tmist have taken at least tea
minutes to switch from one to the
other, th? criminal lawyer swore that
he would mniutr.in consistency above
all thine In his latest case. Gustave.
the Swedish janitor, had heard two
shots fired at the injured man. and
the lawyer impressed upon him the
lmportan e of swearing that he was
encaged In the same task at each shot.
In the course of the trial It was
brought out that the shots had boon
fired a month apart, the first being
merely a little tars.l pra.-tivc Cat tlli

Misplaced Confidence.
The trnni had walked a good three
uillos and was particularly thlrsiy. A
suildeu turn tu the road brought him
to the foot of a steei hill, at the top
of which stood a largo house. The
tramp paused a moment before at
tempting the herculean feat of storm

thirsty. He glanced, to the left. These
words caught his eye: "Tarry, traveler,
and refresh thyself." The tramp was

"The owner of that house." he said,

A Queer Language.

country tells this pathetic story: "I
was here a week or more when I pre
sented a letter of Introduction tit one
of your beautiful homes, where 1 was
nt once made welcome. One evening
I was Invited there to a bridge party
nnd won a nice bit of money at a the

house, when be saw the score cards,
said to me. 'Yon lucky dog" n fa

had I not been told that it was au
American form of speech. A few even
ings later I was looking on when the
same boy won at bridge and, wishing
to be as polite as he, I said, 'What a
lucky puppy!" Then they said all
sorts of uncomplimentary things, nnd
I have been doubtful ever since wheth
er I am still welcome lit that set.
Yours is a queer language."

"What's tills I hear. Callahan." ask

friends for years!"
Callahan seemed somewhat taken
back. "Sure. I was compelled to do It,

THE TEXAN CATTABU.
Cross Between American Cattle snd
the Sacred Zebu of India.
Six years ago Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture found
In Texas a grade of so called lira lima
cattle. Inquiring Into their origin, he
found that they were the offspring of
a sebu bull (the mu red cattle of India)
which had been purchased from a cir
cus and lllieratod In southern Texas.
Secretary Wilson found that the Hrah
ma cattle were rematkably free from
disease and the thriftiest cattle In nil.
the region, that the dreaded Texas tick
out not attacit mem nun mat tney tons
quite naturally to the marshes of the
gulf coast aud thrived where the Amer
ican and European broils degenerated ;
and died. i
The secretary of agriculture eneotir
aged A. V. ISordou. who had great cat- j
tie Interests; In Wharton county. Tex.. ;
to Import from India a su'.llcient nui'.i- i
her of the sacred tattle to umke nj
thorough esperlmeut ns to their adapt- '
ability aud value. In l'ht a consign- j
meui of twenty-live lien -I. mostly bolts, j
were landed and taken to the Pierce j
ranch in Wharton county. There they
have since thrived and Multiplied. j
The zebu crossed with the American
cattle has produced a
new creature I
styled the cattahu. a name derived
from Its two parents. The ruttnhu Is
as Immune from the Texas tick, as Is
Its sire. Its skin cero!o-i a sort of j
was which Is distasteful to the tick, j
The cat tabu tilso takes naturally to
the marshes of the gulf coast. It Is
believed that the creature will make I
imssible the iitlii -iiiiou of a great j
amount of waste land. I
Oione Treatment ef Water.
Our consul at Nice. France, his re
cently reported on the uew system of
sterilization aderte-l by that city for
its drinking wnter. The water is ster-
iii -.ed by the use of oxoiiu, hlch is
produced In an ou-ne gciierat'T. The
generator consists of t opper pluti-s be-
tween which are glues sheets, and th
ti!r between the plates Is iheouiMised
by a silent discharge at IT.tlJ volts
pressure. The de composed air Is
Irawn by suction fans through a puri
fier, which eliminates the nitrogenous
compounds, and thereafter the ozone
is conducted to a chamber Into which i
the water tlows. The water pusses
through a layer of gravel on a wire
netting aud falls into the chamber In
the form of a heavy rain. The ozone
absorbed by the water Is thereafter
extracted by having the water fall on
stone steps. The water is then abso
lutely free of germs.
There are two
plants at Nice, one wltn an output 01
forty gallons per second and the other
wilh an output of eighty gallons.

Terliaps it Is rather late in nrrv

Hut a scientist Just now explains that
only yellow pigment Is adapted to the

the textile fabric of the bag must be
made air and water tight by a coating
of caoutchouc. This substance Is dis
integrated rapidly under the violet and
ultra violet rays of the sun unless the
yellow pigment of the bag absorbs
them. Cliroinate of lead, which Is
