WA8 A VERY ASTUTE LION.
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.

A Delphio Utterance.
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?"

That Deadly Hatpin.
That deadly implement, the hatpin of
modern times, is a descendant of any
equally formidable toilet article used
by Roman women.
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.
