Mr. Absalom Koote, an eccentric old
gentleman who had grown tired of life
in the city, decided to move to some
smaltter .town, free from the roar of
iradic, the bustle and confusion of the
througzing multitude, where he could
cud bis days tranquilly, as became a
man of his age. In casting about for
e location, his eye chanced to light
upon’ the advertisement in a village
paper of one Thomas R. Woote, who
wan'ed to dispose of ‘his boot and
shoe store at a bargain, having made
up j‘x’g‘miud to remove to the city. *
“That's the very thing” he said.
“folling shoes is a nice easy occupse

Vagaries of the Plumb Line.
One of the curious things that men
of sclence have discovered in their in
nutirerable efforts to measure and map
the earth with the least possible error
is the fact that there are plices where
the direction of a plumb line is not
vertical, Irregularities of density In
the crust of the globe may produce this
phenomenon, no
A remarkable instance has been
found in the island of Porto Rico
where the deviation from the vertical

no end in view except to cause amuse

them in ordinary life? Mr. Berkeley,
the proprietor of a London hotel, was
in his office about 6 o'clock one even

door, while a voice, which seemed to |
express pain, cried “Open!” Mr.
Berkeley obeyed, but a cry of horror
€scaped him, and he almost fell back
ward. He saw before him, rolling on
the ground, topsy turvy, a kind of hu
man ball which was walking upon its
bands, with the head twisted round,
eyes protruding and neck contorted.
“lI did not wish to alarm 1y neigh
bors,” gasped this extraordinary be
ing—lit was a contortionist from a ecir
cus who ‘had been practicing in his
room—*but | eannot unhook my leg
from behind my neck, and unless you
can help me I &m afrald it is all up
with me.”
Mr. Berkeley disentangled the acro
bat, who fell exhausted on a chair. He (

A Bedouin’s Idea cf a Locomotive.
It IS ITOTEIE oM know that the
rallroad between Jadn and Joerusalems
was made -possible by locomotives
from Philadelphia. They were orig
tnally made, writes rofessor IL w.
Dunning in “Today Iu Palestine.” for
a road In Central Amerien which un
fortunately could not pay for then
when they were ready for delivery
They hffhpened to Lo just right for the
Jaffa-Jerusalem line and were at once
purchased and shipped,
I happened to Le la Jorusalem, Lo
writes, the day the frat locomotive ny
rived there, Aug. 20, 1392, Not only
the people from the cliy, Lut maugs
from the villages. came to see the new
wonder. Among them was a Redouin
from beyond Jordan, ITe carried back
the report to (he tribe:
“It 18 like a Dlz Iron woman, It
glves one screceh and then runs away.”

~ The strange spectacle of a lion play-
Ing with ulcrmd is reported to have
been witnessed at Vryheld. A Duteh
farmer, accompanled by his wife and
litle Loy, was out shooting game.
Buddeniy the attention of the parents
was drawn to the cnild, who had tod
dled ‘a short distance away to guther
wild flowers. Crowing with delight,
the little fellow was pulling the hair
of a full grown lion, and the animal
appeared to be enjoying the operation.
Bpellbound, the farmer and his wife
#tood gazing at the scene, The farmer,
even if Lis gun had contained a shot,
could not have fired because of the
child. The lion skipped sportively
round the hoy untll, startled by loud
shouts from the parents, it walked
quletly away, followed by a lioness,
which up to then had lain concealed In
e long grass. A hunt was afterwurd
arganized, but the lions bad disappear
