In the good old days when we were greatly pestered by a neighbor's sow. or nnile, or bull, or dog. Invading our premises and taking unwarranted lib erties we londed the old shotgun with powder and fat meat and. nfter serving due notice upon said neighbor and said notice being Ignored, set out to uphold the tlrst law of nature, self defense. The amount of execution that can be done by a wad of fat meat on top of u good charge of powder Is amazing Wherever It strikes hair ar.d hide dls appear. It seldom If ever kills, but leaves sears that time does not obllter ate. The fat being salty, onuses oxoru elntlhg pain, which lingers long lu memory, and the stricken unimnl does not offend again. A tnllow cnndle can be shot through a two Inch oak board without Injury to the candle. In like manner n tallow bullet If driven by a sufficient charge of powder would penetrate n man’s body and grease him so well Internally that he would not enre to go dueling again A glancing shot would plow ugly fur rows In the skin.-New York Cress. Two fin ft lea. Portlrlo Dins? gained national promi nence anil won his spurs at the battle of Puebla, where the Liberal forces made n gallant but Ineffectual stand against the French who had Invaded Mexico for the purpose of erecting a throne for Maximilian. Notwithstand ing the fact that the Mexican forces were defeated, their defense against superior numbers was so gnllaut. that the anniversary of the battle of the fitli of .May became a untioual holiday In Mexico. A brusque American once asked the president. “Why do you Mexicans cele brate a defeat when you know that the French Anally took Puebla?” President Diaz, wltb a twinkle "in Ills eye, replied. "Perhaps we have Imitated tbo Americans even to the extent ot celebrating our defeats, for 1 have been told that the British defeated the col onists at Bunker II111, and yet you built a momimout to commemorate the event" Scotch (economy. A Scottish noble lord, finned among his friends for his saving, or. ns he would have gut It himself, his careful propensities, went out one day shooting In his broad moors, aeeotnpauiod only by Ills keeper.

A Suggestion. A very good idea for Thanksgiving rlietoricals is to let the pupils in the Language class prepare papets ill their regular work on the following subjects: Columbus, The Indians, The Puritans, aud The First Thanks giving. Then select from these the .our best papers for them to read at the public rlietoricals. The children will work earnestly for the honor of being chosen, and the best results will be obtained. On tbc day of the rlietoricals let them all appear on the stage togeth er, and after the papers are read let them join in singing the song given below. Should none of the four be singers, let another child accompany them on the plaitorm and sing it as a s>do. The interest and knowledge gained by the pupils, the approval of the in telligent patrons, who will see that the children really living in the heart of history, will amply repay for all $ I aft <aftSOft.

The Tail Story Tlint la Tola of n Ps. rlalnn Uourtnet, Tarts Is par excellence the city of gourmets ami cranks, and many a story concerning them has added to the guyety of the nations. Here Is one •il the latest, told by a well known. French head waiter: One of the regu lar customers of a famous Parisian restaurant used to he n short, thin, shy and shabbily dressed man whose name uo one knew, but vvuo gave out thut he was n butter dealer, for which reason he vvns called the butter man at the restaurant In question. He ute next to nothing, but his soup tureen, tilled with a soup specially pre pared for him, was always put before him. Uo took a few spoonfuls and had It taken away. Next cauie n whole Ollet of beef, from which he cut the tiniest slice. Then followed four qunils or a large chicken, of which he ate one mouthful, together with two lettuce leaves aud one radish. Ills dessert was four grapes—uaver n sin gle one more—and n cup of coffee. A bottle of the best claret ami another of the best champagne were served with the repast, but he only wetted his lips with n drop from them uud let i s ed me to try a i ‘them go. He took two of these meals a day, and the prlou for each meal was 120 francs. But this was not all. Evefy time the butter man got up from his ex traordinary tueul he gave 40 francs to the head waiter, who put bis food on his plate, since the guest did not like to handle spoons or dishes; 2b francs to the waiter. 10 francs to the woman cashier and 5 francs to the porter. | Thus each meal came to 200 francs. I The head waiter of the restaurant of I ten did slight errands for him. buying his cigars, etc., and took them to the Grand hotel, where the butter man lived. The little o'.d man would then open the drawer of a wardrobe tilled With heaps of bank notes of from UK: francs to GOO francs In value and wltb an enormous mass of goldpleces. "Pay yourself,” said the owner, and the hend waiter did so. putting the bills before his patron, who never deigned to look at them, ‘•I stuck to my engine, although every omt, ached ni$i every nerve was racked with pain.” wsites C.
