t Hit Him Coming and Going. An attorney went to n livery stnblo and hired a team for two or three . hours and at the end of that time, in - a state of absentmlndedness, left the team at another livery stable, where It remained eight days. At stable No, 1 there was no worry about the team, They knew the attorney was perfectly ' good for the pay. They knew that if he kept the team a month the bill would bo paid promptly on presenta tion. Tbey presumed that he knew what he was about and concluded it was his business and not theirs. At stable No. 2 there was equal freedom from anxiety. The attorney came . there, left the team and went away, saying nothing. They put the horse Into a stall and "chalked it down" on the office slate, knowing him to be a business man who paid cash. Discov ery came at last, and the lawyer was presented with two bills, one for eight days' hire and the other for eight days' keep. He paid both bills promptly, but it cured him of being absentmlnd ed for nearly a whole month. Tho Coffee Cup In Persia. The expression "to give a cup of coffee" has In Persia a somewhat omi nous significance. This Is due to the fact that the coffee cup is one recog nized medium for conveying poison. Some years ago the governor of Aspa dana, having long been at daggers drawn with the chief of a powerful mountain tribe, determined in this ' way to put an end to all trouble. He professed to entertain a great degree ' of friendship and esteem for the chief ' tain and invited him to visit him at his palace. The chief unsuspiciously came, accompanied by bis two young sons. For a week they were royally enter tained. But at last one morning when the chief came into his host's presence he was coldly received, and an attend ant soon stepped forward with a single cup of coffee In his hand, which he of fered to the guest. The latter could not fail to understand that he was doomed. Preferring, however, steel to poison, ho declined the cup and was thereupon, at a signal from his host, Biabbed to death. Salad of the Shoes. Freshmen have troubles the world over. The "consents," as they are called nt tho famous Ecole Polytcch nlquo in Farls, are subjected to an . amusing initiation called the salad of shoes. The freshmen report some days before tho upper class men so that they can receive their uniforms and become familiar with the routine of tho school. The first morning after their tormentors return the freshmen are aroused by a demand that they . throw their shoes out of the windows into the courtyard. The shoes are gathered Into a heap, and, kneeling In a big circle around this, the fresh men are obliged to go through some ridiculous gymnastic movements at the command of their superiors. When tho study bell rings they have but a minuto to appear In the class rooms, and It Is a strenuous minute around that pile of shoes. Tennyson Disturbed. This story is told in Kobert II. Sher nrd's book "My Friends the French:" "A granddaughter of Wordsworth, being full of admiration for the young poet who was to succeed her grand father In laureate honors, was once taken to see Mr. Tennyson by Mrs. Taylor, the wife of another poet of somo distinction. Tennyson received them very badly, showing great Irri tation nt being disturbed, and when Mrs. Taylor rallied him on his manner lie said: 'Madam, I am a poor man, aud ns I can't afford to buy the Times I hire it from the stationer's. IIo charges ulo a penny for it, which enti tles me to keep it for nn hour. Why will people .always select just that hour to come and call upon me?' After which ho flung out of tho room, leav ing Mrs. Tennyson to apologize for bis brusquerie." Currenoy In China, Writing from the interior of China, a traveler says: "Currency is primltivo to a degree. Lump sliver only is used and copper 'cash.' Coined money Is not current. Even in Ilonan city, which is distant only two days by rail from Pekhi, lump silver,, the same cum brous currency that has becu used for centuries, is still employed. It is cut into small pieces by hammer and chis el. Every town and village has its own weights and scales, nud there is no pretense nt uniformity." The Man and the Parrot. Exasperated Purchaser Didn't you guaranteo that this parrot would re peat every word he heard? Bird Dealer-Certaluly I did. "But ho doesn't repeat a slnglo word." "IIo repeats every word ho hears, but ho never hears any. IIo is as deaf as a post." Life's Percentages. It sometimes happens that n man plays an errorless gauio because he ac cepts mighty few chances. Tho man in tho right gardeu Is pretty sure to have a better fieldlug record than tho shortstop.
