He was not quite sure, however, that he had had the best of it when he re ceived the following reply: "You should have had the saw with pleasure, but I have just got it fast in a potato." A certain town in the North produces bright boys. The other day one of them asked his teacher, "How much brains has q hog in his head?” She replied: "Science has not deter mined that. Thomas.” "Well.

Africa has the largest unexplored area, nearly 6,500 ; 000 square miles; while North America contains no fewer than 1,500,- 000 square miles of virgin territory. The largest continuous stretch of unex plored country is in Liberia, Africa. The tract consists of about 20,000 miles, all of which is within 200 miles of the sea.

The body fell across the frontier, the head in Russian territory, the trunk on the strip of neutral ground which forms the frontier, and the legs in Austria.

It was still lying at the time ot writing, unburied, the head guarded by Cossacks, the rest by Austrian gendarmes. A novel scheme of taxation has been introduced into Dodge City, Kans.
