bring tbe dignity and serenity which
one would fain associate wltb old age.
I recall the dylug hour of one old
Scotchwoman whose long struggle to
"keep respectable" had so embittered
her that her last wonts were gllies for
thtsw* who were trying to minister to
her "Bo you ram» lu yourself thia

any uf your confounded cltHrlty hot
water bottles" Suddenly tbe harsh
gasplog voice wus stilled In death, and
1 awaited tbe doctor's coming, shaken
and horrified.—Jane Adda ms In Amer
lean Magazine.
The Witch Finders.
Three hundred year« ago tbe bual
uess of finding out witches was well
eHtabllshed and accepted In courts of
I law ns highly proper. In 1049 It Is re
corded that the magistrates of New
castle, England, sent to Scotland for
sn expert witch tinder. This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering tlfteen witches and secur
ing tbelr conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder
of that jteriod. It was easy to discover
witches when you knew how. Tbe sus
pected person could be forced to weep
aud then detected by the well known
fact that a witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye. or
she could be pricked wltb pins to dis
cover the s[M>t Insensible to pain, which
was a sure sign of dealings with the
devil. That women were far more
likely to dabble in witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by a famous
Herman text book on witches published
In the fifteenth century. It was sim
ply that women were Inherently wick
ed. whereas men naturally Inclined to
goodness.
The Coyot».
Tbe coyote Is the little brother of the
Indian. When the buffalo vanished
from the plains the Indian shot bls
rifle Into tbe air, wrapped bls blanket
closer about him and came Into tbe
reservation to grow fat and unpictur-
es<|ue under federal auspices. When
tbe Jack rabbit aud molly cottontail
vaulsh from the plains and foothills
the howl of the last coyote will sink
Into silence beyond tbe great divide.
Until that far day arrives, however,
hung tbe bacon high, for while the rab
bit remains the most skillful four
legged forager the world ever knew
will bay at the moon by night and Just
keep out of rifle range by day. The
coyote knows more about traps than n
Canadian “voyageur," 1» an expert on
strychnine and uever falls for tbe
deadfull. He Is rather fond of lambs
and calves, but rabbits are tbe oat
meal of this phantom highlander, and,
as "Diamond Field" Jack Davis would
say, "where two or three of these are
gathered together there you will find
the coyote, seeking to stow one of them
into his midst’*—Philadelphia Tele
graph.
Fooled the Critics.
"Beerbohtu Tree,” said a Philadel
phia critic, “at tbe beginning of bls ca
reer undertook tbe part of the blind
Colonel Challlce in ‘Alone.’ Tree was
a very nervous man lu those days. He
was always forgetting tils lines. But
as the blind colonel he seemed destined
to be fiartlculurly nervous, and there
fore he arranged with the prompter
that on the first night, whenever he
forgot a speo h, he should snap his
fingers as a signal for help.
"The first night came, and Tree for
got his lines continually. Ills fingers
snapped all through the show like an
unending package of firecrackers. lie
thought bls career was doomed, but
the next morning all tbe critics said
of him unanimously:
" 'Mr. Tree's artistic study of the
blind Colonel Chaldee was a revelation.
Never liefore have tbe habits and
thoughts of the blind been so carefully
analyzed and so faithfully [xirtraycd
The entire study was [lerfect, even
down to the nervous twitching of the
fingers aud tbe anxious listening, ns
though loss of sight made bearlug all
the more dear.’ ”
No Wond»r H» Wai Disgusted.
It was on the Peary north pole ex
pedition that an Eskimo came Into
possession of a piece of wire. Never
having seen wire liefore. he asked Pro
fessor D. B. McMillan wbat it was
for.
“White men string it on poles struck
Into the ground, and by talkiug Into
an Instrument at one end tbe voice can
be heard on tbe other,” he was told by
Professor McMillan. The next morn
ing somebody called to Peary and the
other memliers of the expedition to
come out and watch the Eskimo. He
was sticking some forked poles luto
the ground and banging bls piece of
wire on top of them. He next held
one end of the wire to his mouth and
talked to It at the top of bls voice.
Then he hurried to the other end and
held the wire to bls ear. expecting to
hear bls own words repeated. When
he failed to hear any sound he looked
at hla white friends In disgust.—Chi
cago Tribune.
Snails Are Queer Creatures.
The snail la found everywhere, over
3.00(1 apetlea being known. Some of
the large tropical snails, as bullmas,
form neats of leaves, tbelr eggs tielng
as large as a pigeon's. The snail is ex
tremely skillful In mending its shell,
and some curious experiments may be
made wltb them. Thus 1 have seen a
bellx of a yellow species attached to
another shell of u reddish hue by cut
ting off the top whirl of tbe latter,
when the snail will proceed to weld
the two shells together and occupy
both, using tbe addition as a door Hnd
possibly wondering at this sudden ex
tension of Its house. In the winter
some of tbe snails hibernate or lie dor
mant until warm weather. A snail of
the Philippine Islands has a faculty of
throwing off its tall when seised. This
Is also true of a West Indian variety,
ateuophus.—London Telegraph.
When a Burglar Calls at Night.
"If a burglar breaks into your bouse

an old headquarters policeman. “If the
