“You any he never bet on a horse?”
“That’s what I said, your honor.”

“Never, your honor.”
“And he never drank whisky?"
“Never drank a drop in his life.”

A Too Busy Life.
The messenger from Mai’s surveyed
the multitude which had gathered to
meet him with undisguised interest
Nor did he hesitate to propound such
inquiries ns his curiosity prompted.
“Where do you nil live?” he asked,
speaking generally.
“I live In the future,” said a young
man good humorediy.
“And I in the past” said an old
man.
“How odd! And docs none of you
live in the present?”
There was an awkward silence.
“Pardon me,” said the Martian hasti
ly; “perhaps I press my questions too
closely.”
At this a voice from the outskirts of
the crowd spoke up, saying. “We have
not yet learned to live in the present
without interruption of business, don’t
you know.”—Puck.
Natural Toothbrushes.

world, and the reason is not far to
seek. Whenever they are idle they
. rubbing their tooth with
small pieces of wood—little twigs which
are covered with a soft bark and which
ravels out into bristles. This practice
prevents tire teeth decaying and of
course keeps them in excellent condi
tion. Just as one might pick a wild
flower in the country so the Somali
native picks Iris toothbrush. They are
never without their small twigs. Tooth
brushes as we know then, are un
known fn Somaliland. Their own
methods are undoubtedly the healthi
est and certainly the cheapest, and it
Is a matter for wonder that we do n-ot
