One of the men aooosted looked him over and said: "I saw yon in Buffalo about a month ago, and yon then told me that an alli gator hit yonr leg off." “Yes." “1 saw yon in Clovelandiastweek,and yon then claimed to have fallen under street car." “Yes." “Do yon change yonr story in every townr “Most always." “Well, now, tell me how yon really did loss yonr leg and Ml give yon "mo.” “Honest?” “Yes." “Well, dr, I jumped in front of mowing machine to save the lives of fivo or six littlo children, and while I lost my leg not one of them got scratch."

Aloe- g other things tho person who spoke to lord Byron in his behalf mentioned t hat Macready was a man of excellent character. "Ah, then,' add Lord Byron, “1 suppose he asks five pounds a week more for his morality, and the negotiation fell through. If the salt held in solution is the ocoon were spread over the earth it wonld form a layer of more than thirty net deep covering the whole globe. A Hint Aeons lmvn|. Dr. Leahy, a hone trainer, says: When a horse stops and proposes to torn aronnd don’t resist the tom, hot give him a qniot horizontal poll in the direction he want* to turn, eo os to carry Mm farther aronnd than be intended to go, and, if possible, keep him going aronnd half adozen times. In most esses this will upset all his cal culations, and he will go quietly on with out much ado. If six tarns will not do give him twenty. In fact, if he will keep on turning to your rein you are sure to him, and leave him at yonr com mand. If he will not torn and will book to the rein, keep Mm going backward in the direction yon want to go. He will soon get tired of that and prefer to go with the right end forward; bnt before yon let Mm go give him decidedly more backing than be likes.—8L Louis Globc- namorrat.

It seemed cruel to leave him there with out any shelter, so presently I went and asked Winnie to get a lantern and come with me. “At the born we found a great box, into which we pat same straw, and together we rolled and pushed and carried that box across the rood and into the pasture.

While Jim was building a fire to get oar morning meal Dan went to the corral to look after the hones. There he found a big back insido the inclosnre and without a wal'd knocked him down.

COTNEY, Fleetwood and Russell Comer, Amerlcus, Ga. Bow They Carry Money. One of the queerest sights is to see how different immigrants cany their money. Most English immigrants carry their coin in a small case, attached to a chain, wMch they keep in a pocket os they wonld a watch. Irishmen always have a little canvas bog in which notes and coin ore crammed together. Irish girls, on the other hand, generally have their money sewed on the inside of their dresses. Germans carry their money in a belt round their waists, and the belt is usually an elaborate and costly affair, no matter how poor the immigrant may be. The French mostly cony a small brass tabs in which they can place forty or fifty twenty frano pieces and remove thorn very readily one at a time. There ora very few Italians whodo not carry a large tin tabs in which they keep their paper money or silver coins, and this tabs is hang round their neck by a email chain or cord. sdea and Norwegia have an lmmenso pocket generally been need by their fathers and grandfather* before them, and wMoh us in it enough leather to make a pair of boots. The Slavonians and Hungarians carry their money in their long hoots, together with a knife, fork and spoon.—Chatter. dam* Cosily Wood Work. An interesting relic is the wood work of tho boudoir of Lonieo de la Vnllioro, wall panels, dado, celling and doors, all painted a soft cream white and adorned with paintings of enpida and roecs and flattering bine ribbons, relieved with light arabeeqnee of gold. These have been set np and pat in place, ao that the effect of tbe dainty little room can be folly appreciated. The panels for the walla of another boudoir, of the reign of Lonia XV, were in pals pink satin, em broidered with the fine silk cord called cordonneret, with garlands of flowers mingled with birds and butterflies, the work being ao beautifully executed aa to resemble a water color drawing in its grace and finish.
