gether at a . Paris restaurant. -Mr.

cisms. At last Mr. W ukmson s tem
per rose to explosive point.

Gray Versus Brown Camels.
The length of a stage varies
tnrougaout 1'ersia, depending on
the character of the country, and is
reckoned in farsaks, the old Greek
parasang. The farsak is a most
elastic and uncertain measure, and
as animals are paid for per farsak
as many as the credulity of the
traveler will allow are crowded into
each stage. "How far," I once
askd an old Kurdish muleteer, "is
a farsak?" "As far, as one can dis
tinguish a gray from a brown cam
el," was the discreet answer. They
average about four miles and the
stage about six farsaks, or twenty
five miles. Atlantic.
His Idiosyncrasy.
Dr. William Babbinton, physician
to Guy's hospital in the early years
of the last century, wns an Irish
man, lie was described by Sir
Astley Cooper as "the most delight
ful of men." He used to tell of a
countryman of his for whom he had
prescribed an emetic and who said:
"My dear doctor, it is of no use your
giving me an emetic. I tried it
twice in Dublin, and it would not
stay on my stomach either time."

Good Advice.
The revivalist Sam Jones was
once taking women to task for
spending more time in prinking
than in praying. "If there's a wom
an here," he screamed finally, "who
prays more than she prinks, let her
si&nd up." One poor old, faded
specimen of femininity, in the sorri
est, shabbiest of clothes, arose. "You
spend more time rraving thrri
pranking?" asked the preacher, tak
ing her all in. The poor old crea
ture said' she did prayed all the
time, prinked not at all. "You go
straight home," admonished Jones,

s
2-Way SideM
Plow.
The accompanying cut illustrates the very latest
improvements in Plow construction, showing several
advantages over any other Sidehill Plow on the mar
ket. One of the most important of these improvements
is the extra long axle, making the distance between
the wheels 8 inches greater than any other make of
Plow. This of itself is a great advantage to the user,
as it allows a greater adjustment of the bottoms, that
is, a 16 inch Plow can be made to turn 18 or even 20 inches of ground on sidehill work, and also makes the
Plow much harder to upset on steep ground. '
