In old English times, when each fam
ily was obliged to sift Its own flour,
It sometimes happened" that an energet
ic man would turn his sieve so rapidly
as to causo It to catch fire. The style
ot sieve used In those days was called
a "temse," and it became a customary
aylng that a lazy man would never
et the temse on fire. Now It happens
that tho name of the river Thames
is pronounced like tho name of this old
flour sieve, aud after many years, when
tho old-fashioned temso was forgotten,
It was thought that setting the temse
on fire meant setting tho river on tire,
and that la why to-day we say that a
tupld person will never set the river
on fire. Ladles' Home Journal.

project aud who have experimented
with blooded horses, dogs and poultry,

Most persons lu this country have
not been educated to an appreciation
of rabbit meat, although In European
countries It Is a common article, of
diet. The flesh ot the Belgian hare
U different from that of the ordinary
rabbit lu appearance nud taste, and It
Is asserted that every one who eats It
onco acquires a permanent liking for It.
It resembles frogs' legs, chicken or
lamb, nccordlng to Its ago and tho
method of preparing It. The manner
of killing the hure for the market Is Im
portant. They are likely to be shy, and
aro so strong nnd nctlvo that In Jump
ing about to escapo tholr-cnptor tlioy
strlko tho sides of the pen so forcibly
as to brulso tho flesh severely. They
.must bo handled gently, care being
taken not to startle them upon near ap
proach. One of the most attractive fea
tures of the hare-breeding industry lu
the economy with which It can bo un
dertaken nnd carried ou. A rahbltry
Is a simple affair, consisting simply ot
it log shed. Tho frfints nro of wire net
ting, with waterproof paper shades thnt

QUEEN VICTORIA'S COSTLY HAT.
Made of TortoUe Ktielt by Natives of
the NavlKator Jlnndn.
Her majesty, Queen Vlctorln, who Is
tho dowdiest royal personage In Eu
rope, haB In her possesion the most ex
pensive bonnet lu the world. It Is not
a triumph of the' milliner's art, nud It
Is not likely to be tho mode. Iu fact,
tho Queen has never worn It. It Is not
otie through which a hatpin Is easily
thrust, and oh, prime reason thnt Its
enso Is hopeless! It Is unbecoming.
Tho uatlves of tho Navigator Islands
were most anxious to make the Queen
,i present. There was formed n com
mittee, which debated long and pa
tiently what would bo most approprl
ite. Jewels were out of the question,
it would cost n fortune to give one of
the richest sovereigns iu the world a
lewel thnt sho would appreciate. Even
the most gorgeous cloths were not ad
visable. India had excelled them lu
weaving.
The gift should be suggestive of their
part of the world and made by their
people. But what? thnt was the ques
tion. Their women were skilled In
plaiting grass and making It Into every
thing from furniture, matting, and mu
ral decorations to gowns nud hats, but
this would not bo valuable enough.
Aside from the thoughtfulness of tho
gift, It must have some Intrinsic worth.
The committee disagreed. Oue gen
tleman resigned lu despair. The new
member Injected some gluger into tho
crowd and revived their lagging spir
its. The new member said emphatic
ally that even u Queen had vanity
enough to want to possess the most ex
pensive bounet lu the world. Ono of
their owu tortoise shells should bo
made Into a bonnet. It should bo
carved by their own people, and while
It would not cost 'them very dearly,
Victoria would find it quite expensive
If she went shopping for It la Bond
street The tired members of the com
inlttuo, voted the now member a know
ing one, aud If they did not promlso
him a monument It Is because that form
of greatness Is unknown lu Samoa.
An elaborate bonnet was made of ft
whole sheil. Tho workmanship was
exquisite. Never was tortoise shell
more artistically carved. The shape la
like that of tho Salvation Army las
sies. Iu due time thu Queen received
the gift, and wrote the committee a
note of thanks. The Queen found tho
material, as well as the shape, a little
Impractical as far as everyday wear
goes, so she sent it to the British mu
seum. Ittit.tho committee, which feels
that n load Is off Its mlud, draws men
tal pictures of Qeen Victoria driving
down "The Lady's Mile" and nodding
to her faithful subjects and wearing
the gift that caused so ninny wrinkles
lu the gray matter of its brain.
Tho Htilior-Toothed Cat.
The most remarkable of all the ex
tinct feline animals nro those known to
naturalists as the saber-toothed cats or
tigers, a group comprising the greater
part of all tho fossil forms. They date
back to the earliest times of which we
know anything about the family in
North America and roach down to the
time of man himself. A large and
powerful species described from the
Indian territory by Cope lived contem
poraneously with the hairy mammoth,
as evidenced by tho commingling of
their skeletons. There can be little or
no question but that the hairy nam-
moth was contemporaneous with man
lu North America us well as In Europe
Their geological range Is from the closo
of tho Eocene to tho Inter part of tho
Pleistocene. -v
Tho chief peculiarities ot the animal
are the extraordinarily elongated canine
teeth. The tall Is of unusual length
and tho legs nro short. Tho animal
measured about seven feet In length
nstde from tho tall. Tho lowccjaws
have a downward projection in front,
duo to a flange-llko widening of tho
Jawbones, which doubtless served as a
protection to tho teeth, preventing their
Injury or loss. In some of tho lartrer
forms from South America this tlnugo
was not present, wlillo tho cnnlno tooth
wero oven more elongated than Is tho
case with this species, nttainlng a
length of over six Inches nnd protrud
ing far below tho Jaws when closed.

Holdlrr Hoys miiiI Mint Cuba Libre.
The chief charm of tho Cuban beau
tics Is their soft, expressionless eyes,
nud one young ottlcer who had caught
only one glimpse of a pair of these eyes
at a reception made every effort to
have the demurely downcast lids
ruined, but ho could speak no language
she understood. In desperation ho gave
up his faltering efforts, aud looking
at her roguishly, said, with much emo
tion, "Eny meny, mlny, mo; cracky,
feeny, fluey, fo; opper, hoocher, popper,
toochn; rick, blck, bnu do," and found
that success had crowned this effort,
for tho seuorltn's eyes wero fastened
upon him, nud ho heard n ripple of
laughter from behind her fan, showing
that she appreciated that thero was
something soul-stlrrlng In his "poetry,",
and begged him to tell it again to one
of her friends who knew a llttlo Eng
lish nud would translate It for her. He
was staggered for a moment, then told
the English-speaking friend that ho
had been talking Greek. "But tell me
what It was," she persisted. So he
gravely recited "Maid of Athens, ere we
part." etc., explaining that the last
line. "Zoe ," wns Greek. "No mat
ter," said the friendly maiden, "she
will like nil of It so very much." Wom

A Cur lout Colnoldnnoe.
Sir Herbert Maxwell seems to occu
py a unique place In Parliament. Prob
ably ho Is the only member of the
IIouso of Commons who can claim to
lie descended from an ancestor of pre
cisely the same name as himself who
sat In Parliament over 000 years ago.
His forbear, Sir Herbert Maxwell of
Carlaveroek, sat In the Parliament of
Scone, 128:t-84, and agreed to accept
Margaret of Norway as his sovereign
In the event of tho death of Alexander
HI., nnd ho wns also a member of the
Parliament of 128000. This worthy's,
brother, Sir John, It Is further curious
to observe, although not himself a
member of Parliament so far as
known, has also his representative and
namesake lu the House of Commons lu
the person of Sir John Stirling Max
well, direct descendant. Sir Herbert
Maxwell and Sir John Maxwell were
both "commandeered" by Edward I.
to perform military service "beyond
the sea" 1. e., In France In 1297.

DIES IN A FOREIGN LAND.
Stephen Crane, Novelist unci War Cor
respondent, No More.
Stephen Crane, the American novelist
and war correspondent, died at Baden
Weller, Germany. Llko ninny writers
of fiction his fame was made lu n sin
gle work, nnd although a prolific writer
ho will be generally remembered as tho
'nuHior of "Tho Bed Badge of Cour
age," a story of tho experiences of a
recruit In the civil war. His pen pic
ture of a battle was so vivid In this
work that critics whoalld not know the
nuthor declared that It must havo been
drawn by n war veteran. On the
strength of the story Crnno was sent
to the Gracco-Turklsh war In 1807 at
correspondent for tho Westminster Ga
zette of I-ondon. During the Spanish
American war ho was In Cuba as cor
respondent for tho New York papers.
It Is tho. generally expressed opinion
thnt Mr. Crane wns not as strong In his
descriptions of actual war scenes as ho
was In the Imaginary scenes of tho
novel that broughl him fame. Whllo
acting as war correspondent ho wns
noted for his reckless bravery, often be
ing exposed on the II ring lines. Whllo
lu Cuba he contracted the fever which
eventually caused his death.
Stephen Crane was born In Newark,
N. J., lu 1871, nud wns the son of n
Methodist clergyman. At the nge of 10
ho began to write for tho newspapers,
and after completing his education lu
Lafayette College and Syrncuso Uni
versity he became n tcporter nnd sketch
writer, ills remains will be taken to
England nud thence, perhaps, to this
country for Interment, hut It Is not yet
decided whether he will bo burled lu
England or the laud of his birth. Be
fore going to London, nearly two years
ago, his homo was In Hartwood, Sulli
van County, N. Y. Ills wife, whom ho
married at the closo of the Greek war
aud whom he met lu the east, survives.
Huhis Choate'a Had Writing.
George Tlekuor, the historian At Span
ish literature, was once called ns a wit
ness lu a caso In' which Mr. Chontc was
engaged, and, being seated by tho em
inent counselor, was attracted by the
notes which he had made of thu evi
dence; nfter eying them with Interest,
ha remarked that the writing reminded
him of two autograph letters In his pos
session one of Manuel tho Great of
Portugal (dated 1012) and the other of
Gonsnlvo do Cordova, the great captain,
written a few years earlier. (Auyono
who has glanced over theso reiniirknhlo
specimens of chlrogrnpliy will marvel
that It was possible to make out a sylla
ble of such Illegible scrawls.)
"Tliesu letters," Mr. Tlekuor assured
Mr. Chonte, "wero written .IW) years
ngo, nnd they strongly resoniblo your
notes of tho present trial." Chonte In
stantly replied: "Itemnrknblo men, no
doubt; they seem to have been much In
ndvauce of their time." Caroline Tlek

Qu"er LnwMilt.
An Adrian County. (Missouri) court
has beeu wrestling with n peculiar law
suit, In which rats cut tho principal
figure. A farmer mimed Sturgeon hir
ed ono Walker to kill the rats on his
place, agreeing to pay 1 cent aplcco
for the tails ot 1,000 of tho victims.
When 7.10 tails had been presented for
tally, Walker asked $7.G0 as pay for
his services. Here tho trouble began,
for the farmer refused to pay for any
number less than 1,000. He also claim
ed that Walker tried to palm off mouse
talis on him ns tails of young rats. The
hired man secured a favorahlo verdict
in the lower courts, but Sturgeon will
contluuo his legal tight to escape pay

In nil piotracled wars the loss In
horses from dlseaso Is terribly heavy.
In Napoleon'H campaign ncross tho
Nlemen, out of 00,000 horses no fewer
than -15,000 succumbed lu six mouths.
At tho siege of Plevna the Itusslnns
lost over 30 per cent, of their draught

1882 half tho English horses wero dis
abled, of which 000 died from sickness
nnd only 00 on the field of battle. Pear
