Bisbee Experts of the bureau of ani mal industry believe they have discovered a new cross breed of horse that will prove as tough and useful as the mule and yet have the intelligence and speed of the full blood horse. Experi ments were made by breeding a Greavy zebra to a Morgan mare. The resultant foal has been high ly praised by horsemen and breed ers are urging that the govern ment import as many more zebras of the same strain as can be pro cured for the purpose of estab lishing the new breed. What a blessing it is to be able to admire things without always speculating what they represent in dollars and cents. Some peo ple can never gaze on waterfall or cataract without computing $100,000.00 804,442.45 Fish Every Day how much horse power they could be made to generate, nor upon a landscape without figuring out its commercial value. Such people in their commercializing of every thing miss the best of life. All poetry and sentiment are stifled by the ledger, and all music by the ring of the dollar. Some men succeed in life by minding their own business. Others manage to draw large salaries for neglecting other people's business. The man who is most charita ble in his judgments of others is the man who usually is most cor rect in his estimate of others. The man who makes little or no allowance for conditions and cir cumstances, is more often wrong than right. A SHINE IN CONSTANTINOPLE. Half an Hour' Hard Labor, and Thtn It Costs Only 2 Cents. ''Lustra Hoy.idji! Lustra T5oy ndji !" is the cry of the Cormtuntino ple bootbhiulv as he sits in the (ihmle of the Vein" Djanii mosque. "Ouzel boya elTendiin" (a good (shine, m), he cries us you catch his eye and prepare to try your luck. The shoe box on which you place your foot is a work of art. It is adorned with extravagant designs in pressed sil ver and mother-of-pearl. A case about four feet high, with an orna mental clock on top, stands at his right hand side. It is filled with bottles, of different polishes in vari ous hues. With deft celerity Achmet takes out a bottle of benzine and care fully removes stains from your tan shoes. Next he washes youi shoes with soapy lather to remove the grease. While he fans them to hasten the drying Achmet never fails to compliment you on the ex cellent quality of your shoes, even if they are in the last stage of di lapidation. It is now time for the first polish. Out comes another bottle, and the liquid is applied. With his brushes the bootblack works, gaining speed as the shoes gain luster. Another polish in paste form is rubbed care fully into the leather with the tips of the fingers. A spot of sunlight strikes your shoes. That will never do the paste will dry too quickly. An umbrella shade is adjusted and the polishing continued, only this time with a silk cloth. You are growing impatient. Twenty minutes have passed. "Iki takiga effendim" (two minutessir). Achmet says as he notices your im patience. Tie is now rubbing wax on the polish which has already daz zled you. "What is that for?" you ask. '"To preserve the luster," is the answer. The final rub with the silk cloth is over. You are more than satisfied. But, no. As you take your foot away Achmet produces a bottle of varnish and while your hand goes into your pocket for change applies it to the heels and edges of the soles. "How much?" you ask. "Yirmi para" (2 cents). You are astonish ed. Two cents for a half hour's hard work! It is impossible. But that is all he cares to charge, and he expects no tip. You hand him a piaster (about 5 cents), the bal ance as "baksheesh." He is delight ed and wishes you all the joys that Allah can give you on this earth and in the world to come. New York Post. Desert Plants. Plants of the desert, as a rule, possess few leaves, the cactus, for instance, being mostly spines. There is a very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The ob ject is to check the transforation of moisture by offering as small a surfase as possible to the dry air. For the same reason the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a verti cal position and thus avoid the di rect rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are pro vided with points such as the ma ple from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves flatter the rain would collect and make them rot. Dentist-Barbers. Although extinct in this country, the race of dentist-barbers survives abroad. The Cr,i de Paris quotes an advertisement from an Algiers paper: "The undersigned begs to announce that he has now been es tablished for seventeen years as hairdresser and dentist at 17 T?ue do la Marine. He is endowed with faculties which enable him to ex tract teeth with the utmost celerity and without inflicting the slightest pain. He is warm hearted, public spirited and thoroughly proficient in all forms of dental work." Sensible Preference. In one of Miss Mulock's stories sire says that "a cheerful heart seeth cheerful things" Hnd gives this in cident in proof of it: A lady and gentleman were in a lumber yard situated by a dirty, foul smelling river. The lady said, "How good the pine boards smell!" "Pine boards!" exclaimed the gentleman. "Just smell that foul river!" "No, thank you," was the reply; "I prefer to smell the pine boards." And Quickly. Mr9. Newbride came hurriedly into her husband's study one morn ing. "Herbert, dear," she said, "this recipe for lemon pie says to sit on a hot stove and stir constant ly "Well, Alice," replied her doting hosband, "if you do sit on a hot j stove I think you will find that y I will stir constantly."
