At tho mine moment, by tho I' ; desiro of Duinlas, a signal was' run up to Mr h. Lyons 011 board the Agamemnon, ".May success attend you," to which Sir'K. Lyons ordered to bo hoisted in reply, "May happi ness await you." hut though in real life hanging and ImpniniHvt nre generally consid ered to have no very cloe connec tion, yet in the signal code thov are very much alike. I'ufortunately, in tho hurry to reply to Admiral Dun das, the flag for the former instead of the latter wnnl was hoisted, nnd whut was wnrxo the stupid blunder was not discovered and hauled down till the whole fleet had seen and read it.

An ancient custom is yet main tained in Huwia at the Christmas season, in which the festivities of tlic day aro made 10 piay a pcrma- nent part in tho lives of thoso who aro chief in the frolicking. Homo person of importance in tho district announces that tho annual fcto will be hold at i his house, Thither, at tho appointed time, hasten tho young men of tho couti- , trvsido: thither come, no less eager- the day aro made to jiluy a pcrma ly, but with decorous turdiness, the maidens of the place. Thero aro dances nnd songs, games and feast ing, but all else is but tho prelude to tho great event, when chanco is mndo tho hundmaid of love. At the arrival of tho proper hour the host- averted oyo. It is tho law of custom that this twain should become man and wife. If the custom is broken n heavy for feit must be paid by tho unwilling 1 person. Hut it is rarely that happi ness rails in tliu remit, uiiincc, 11 is well known, is open to 11 brilw. And tho lovers who would fait to olfer her bribes would hardly do servo liitpplncss. In their whispers before, tliu hour of trial amorous conspiracies for tho cheating of ill fortune are made, and tho lover may depend iimn his ingenious in nmorala to convey to him the con certed signal whereby will bo de termined her identity "and their mu tual happiness. Turning ths Tbts. "A 1'ort Dodge physician, n Dr. Pitcoe," said an hwa man, "once had a grave dug for 11 patient, sup posed to bo dying, who aftorward recovered, and over this error of judgment tho doctor was Joked for many years. Onto he attended, in consultation with three conferees, another patient. Tills patient real ly died. After tho death, as tho physicians discussed tho case to gothor, one of them said: " 'Since ipiick burial is necessary, wo might inter the body temporari ly. I underhand our brother hero has n vacant grave on hand.' "Dr. Piteoo smiled. "'Yes,' he said, '1 believe I am tho only physician present whoso graves are not ull filled.' " Phila delphia lliillutin. Tht 8pldr Tr. In the country about Cupo Negro, in Africa, there is u curious plant called the i-pidor tree. It grows on windy plains, its stem attaining 11 diameter of four feet, although it does not exceed ono foot in height. It puts out two leaves six or eight feet in lcucth, and theso are split by the winding of tho wind into number of stilT, narrow ribbons bearing 110 little resemblance to the leg of a gigantic spider. This re semblance becomes startliug when a strong breeze puts the legliko , leaves into rapid motion, and tho 1 negroes siuvcriugly cxc'a iu tluu the great spider Is strugg ng to gt loose. Mscaulay's Wit. Macttulay, who wus in tho habit of shaving himself, and badly, too, it would oein, ouco patronized a first class barber. After obtaining nn easy shave ho turned to the tou sorial "artist and inquired: "How much do 1 owe you?" "What ever you havo been in tho habit of giving tho man who shaves you, sir," replied tho Iwrber, "I cenerallT civo him two cuts on eacn ciicck, repiieu tne ccieuratcii tnglisn historian, "but you, sir, bo ing a superior workman, descrra to faro better.

H torvtd His Country as Truly Any 8oldtsr In Bsttls. At the close of tho Franco-Prus nan war a hastv conference was held bv the Ocnnnn leaders to de cido upon the amount of indemnity winch should bo exacted irom France. Bismarck, differing from Von lloltke, telegraphed to Berlin for a financier In whom ho had tin bounded confidence. Tho man was a Hebrew and was for somo reason disliked bv tho crcat Prussian gon crul. When, therefore, ho gavo his opinion Unit the amount demanded should bo so many thousand million francs Von Moltko exclaimed im patiently: "Absurd I It Is too much I" "I know the resources of tho French people," said tho financier calmly. "Thoy can pay it." "It is a monstrous demand 1" re pcatcd Von Moltko nngrily. "If man had begun when tho world wna created to count ho would not havo reached that sum now." "And that is tho reason," inter rupted Bismarck quickly, his oyi twinkling, "that I got a man whi counts from Moses." Von Moltko and tho Hebrew tria to look grave, but both laughed, and the storm was averted. Tho seuucl to tho anccdoto has deeper meaning. The financior. when he received tho summons to tho conference, was undergoing treatment for somo affection of tho eyes which required confinement to n dark chamber. His oculist warn cd him that if ho obeyed tho sum mons the exposure anil delay in tho treatment would almost inovitably result in loss of sight. Ho was silent a moment and then said: "I think that I am needed. havo ho right to consider my sight I will go." Ho went, and tho results whic tho oculist had feared ensued. Ho becamo blind for life. Von Moltke, when tho story was told him, said briefly: "I wronged tliu man. Ho has served his coun try as truly as any soldier on tho field." old and Sllvsr Bugs. Tliu most remarkablo gold bugs in tho world arc found in Centra America. They belong to tho genus plusiotis, and one might easily im agino a specimen to bo tho work of somo clever artificer In inotal. 1 tic head and wing cases aro brilliantly polished, with a luster as of eold it self. To sight and touch they havo all tho seeming of metal, anil it is hard to realize that tho creature is it mere animal. Oddly enough, there is another sK!cies of plusiotis from tho saino region, which lias tho ap penrauco of being wrought in solid silver, freshlt burnished. Ono 0 tho most beautiful bugs in tho worl is n small kotlu known to science as tho bluo hoplia. Its back is un exquisite iridescont sky bluo, am! the under part of its body is of bright silver hue. The notion that it contains silver is widely enter talned, and attempts havo frequent ly boon made to extract sllvor from it. Don't Oeowl. Don't scowl. It spoils faces, Be foro you know it your forehead wil rcsomuie a small railroad map Thero is a grand trunk lino from your cowlick to the bridge of your nose, intersected by parullcl lines running east and west, with curves arctiing your eyebrows, and, oh, how much older vou look for it I Scowl ing is a habit that steals upon us unawares. Wo frown when the light is too strong and when it is too weak. Wo tie our brows into a knot whon wo aro thinking and knit mom even more tightly whon wo cannot think. Thero is no denying mere aro plenty 01 thing to scow about. How Animals Doctor TFtmsslvss. Man might often take from tho lower animals a lesson as to tho care of himself when ill. All sorts of animnls suffering from fovor cat little, lio quiet in dark, airy places and drink quantities of water. Whon a dog loses his npnetito he" knows whero to find chiendent (dog grass), which acts as a purgative and emet ic, blicep and cows when ill seek certain herbs. Any animal suffer ing from chronic rheumatism keeps as far as pwsible in tho sun. If a chimpanzee be wounded ho has been seen to stop tho bleeding by a plas ter of chewed up leaves and grass. Killing Wild Ducks In China. Ono Chinese method of killing wuu uitcKs consists in placing cala bashes on the water in great num bers. After awhile, when tho ducks have become used to the'r presence, the hunter puts one over his head 11 t 1 . ... wim noies, so no can see, and, with tho rest of his body under water, approaches the ducks. Seizing ono of them by the legs, he quickly pulls it under water, wrings its neck, fastens it to his belt and take his next victim. The Wellington man gloves, rtoarutm. Fine Wiues and Liquors.
