Salt draws the juices from beef In

On cucumbers it draws out the water,

the same way on fish as on meat.
There are two ways of considering
these changes. I would hardly say

It was in Ballarat that Mark Twain
found the local language so puzzling
at first, the good people of the place
deeming life too short to dawdle In
their talk.
The-mayor called on the American
humorist and laconically said, “Iv’in.”
Then when Mark Twain gave him a
cigar he simply said. “Q.”
Subsequent inquiry revealed that
these terms were Ballaratese for "wel¬
come” and "thank you.”—London

of the previous dav. ami he had taken
possession cf an animal that seemed
to suit the work. In the battle a few
hours later he was riding across a field
in which there were numerous stumps.
Sudden!v the performance opened.
The guns roared and the air was tilled
with smoke ami noise, before Colonel
Marshall knew v.bat was happening
the horse had his four feet on one of
the stumps and was gayly dancing iu
a circle. In the mean time the
was increasing, and the situation was
anything but comfortable, but the
horse kept on as if he were enjoying it.
“It was uot until afterward.” su'd
Colonel Marshall, "that 1 found the
horse had belonged to a circus and had
been trained to do this act amid the
firing of cannon.”

j When I first met him the Greek
archimandrite had been 40 years in
J’sking, and had never been anywhere
else except for two caravan journeys
to Russia. He was an elderly gentle¬
man, with a smile like Benjamin
Franklin’s, and was famed at the Chl-
1 capital for keeping tlie best wines
nose
and the best tobacco, fie was a
bachelor, and today I recall him when
1 try to fancy Epicurus lu the body,
He were the Chinese pigtail and
clothes to match, and people said he
could give Chinese mandarins points
on etiquette. He gave me, at least,
many happy hours, for lie talked with
a frankness and facility rarely united
in a Russian, least of all an nrchl
niandrite. 1
One day. for Instance, I nsked him
bluntly how many converts he had
made. He answered that he thought i
he had made one. but he did not wish j
to be taken ns stating this positively.
When I returned to China after an In- j
terva! of 2! years, all my inquiries led
me to respect the honesty of this Rus¬
sian. He said, furthermore:
"I have lK>en here 4u years, and per¬
haps I have converted one Chinaman.

rated before, met again after many
years of separation,
“By the way, brown,” said .Tones, “do
you remember that snubnosed cross
eyed little Tilbury girl with a face on
her that would derail an express train?
She used to live somewhere In your
neighborhood. I think.”
“Oh. yes, I reineuiber'her perfectly,”

“Whatever became of her?”

Awry Tron Home.
It breaks parents to have their boys
leave liomc, but it is the best thing that
can ever happen to them. A man gets
n training when away from home that
he needs in after life, and which he
can never receive at home, It is a
grandmotherly notion that a man
should be tucked in liis l ed at home
every nbrbt until the day he marries
and goes to a home of his own; such
hothouse treatment puts him in poor
condition for the cold blasts he Is
bound to encounter later ia life.—At¬
chison Globe.

fasted ?”
“No. monsieur,” answered tho pallid
Frenchman. "1 have not breakfasted;
