Ate Bnperlore of Kind Lieutenant, Who Thereby Ilccarae a Colonel. John Burroughs, the naturalist, -was laughing about the story, widely pub lished not long since, of a wild duck that got a salt water mussel on its tongue and had Intelligence enough to fly from the suit to the fresh water, where It-dipped the mussel, sickening it through osmosis, and thus causing it to loosen Its firm grip. "I believe that story of the duck that understood the theory of osmosis," said Mr. Burroughs. "I believe it as implicitly as I believe the story of the crippled Hon and the young lieuten ant. "Perhaps you have heard thig story? No? Well, then: "A young lieutenant, during an Af rican campaign, came one day upon a badly crippled Hon. The great brute limped over the tawny sand on three paws, holding Its fourth paw in the air. And every now and then, with a kind of groan, it would pause and lick the Injured paw. "When the Hon saw the young lieu tenant it came slowly toward him. He stood his ground, rifle in hand. But the beast meant no barm. It drew close to him; It rubbed against liim with soft, feline purrs; it extended its hurt paw. "The lieutenant examined the paw, and found that there was a large Shorn in it. He extracted the thorn, the Hon roaring with pain, and he bound up the wound with, his handkerchief. Then, with every manifestation of re lief and gratitude, the animal with drew. "But it remembered its benefactor. It was grateful. And in a practical way it rewarded the young man. . "This lion ran over the regiment's list of officers, and ate all who wire the lieutenant's superior In rank. Thus, in a few weeks, the young man, thanks to the astute animal, became a colonel." Still Solvent. The departing American who stood on the dock at Liverpool and an nounced, "If there's any man, woman or child In the British Isles or on the continent of Europe that hasn't re ceived a fee, let me know it now," was not alone in his consciousness of being "done." The Washington Post tells of a gen tleman who went to pay his bill at a fashionable Florida hotel, and re ceived a statement which showed him to be indebted to the house to the ex tent of a hundred and twenty-four dollars. , He had been there but four days, and the estimate seemed to him a little extreme. However, he did not flinch. Taking out a huge roll of bills, he extended it to the cashier and said, "Guess again. I've got more money than that." Prof. L. H. Bailey, director 'of the New York state school of agriculture at Cornell, ia writing several articles which are soon to appear in The Cen tury on the subject of the young man and the farm. He will tell why he thinks the young man now leaves the farm, and he will show how the farm can be made more attractive and better worth the young man's while. Corn Bread.

As capable of varied interpretation as the utterances of the ancient oracles was the speech made by a Swiss mountaineer who accompanied the Stutfleld and Collie exploring expedi tion through the Canadian Rockies. They found it necessary to ford Bear creek, and Hans did not enjoy it, al though he faced it with exemplary fortitude. Once safely across, he turned and surveyed the stream gravely. "Several times you cross it" he said, enigmatically, "but yet once is the last time." A Pertinent Question. A Chinaman was one day walking along a street in Glasgow when a dog ran up to him and began barking. He became greatly alarmed and dodged about all over the place to avoid it. A benevolent gentleman who happened to be passing at the time saw the trouble he was in and immediately went up to him, and, putting him on the shoulder, said, in a pacifying tone: "Come, come, my friend, you mustn't be afraid. The dog won't harm you. Don't you know the old proverb that barking dogs never bite. You sure ly" 'That's all velly well," replied the Chinaman; "you knowee proverb, and me knowee proverb, but does the dog knowee proverb?" riTQ Permanently Cured.

The Aspaslas and Julias and Claud las who decked themselves a couple of thousand years or more ago, to the un doing of the particular Balbus or Mar cus they desired to fascinate, wore bone hairpins of prodigious length. Yet, like the women of this present time, they seem to have experienced the same diflJculty in keeping them in place. This fact came to light during excavations at Silchester, in England, a hundred or so of these bone hjtirpins being found in the Roman bath, col lected, maybe, by the bath attendant, to prove all these centuries later that there is nothing new under the sun, and that in all ages the same little foibles have been possessed by women.
