Not Up to His Name. George Peabody, the philanthropist, I and John Bright often went to Ireland together to fish. One uay they went a , { couple of miles up the Shannon be-1 tween Ca .leconnell and Killaloe. They bad engaged the services of two! boatmen, and as Bright ami Peabody were keen anglers they made a long day of it. O:: returning in the evening Bright, notie., g a policeman on the river hank, asked what sum the boatmen were entitled to for their time. The constable said anything from seven and sixpence to 10 shillings. Bright turned to his companion, saying: “I have no change, Peabody Have you three half crowns?” The millionaire produced the coins and gave them to one of the boatmen, who said, "And is that all ye’re givin’ me?” "That is all,” replied Peabody. “Well, that bates all I iver heard,” observed the boatman, adding, as he scratched his head: “An’ they call ye raybody. Faith, I should call ye Paynobody!”— London Standard. Chop Suey Best of AH. “I have tried them all in their native haunts, and I like them,” said the traveler, according’ to the Baltimore Sun. “Tried what?” asked the bystander. “Railroads?” “No; national dishes,” answered the traveler. “The hot tamale of the Mexican, the goulash of the Hungarian, the chop suey of the Chink, are all known . to me and many others. ' "The best of them all is chop suey. The hot tamale is too hot and has very little nourishment to it, and goulash is too heavy. It tastes pretty good, but it is not a food to recommend to a man w ith a weak stomach. Chop suey, however, is appetizing, easily digested and very nourishing. It is the great contribution of the orient to the Occident in my opinion. It is made of rice, sprouted beans, celery and chicken's blood, all mixed together In the form of soup and nicely seasoned.” Some Wives Are Different. “Most men,” said the man of experl- . ence, "think It must be awfully nice to have a wife who takes things as coolly as Dave Potter’s wife takes them, but others, more discriminating, prefer a good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found a letter In Dave's pocket from a girl in Brooklyn is an example of her method. “ ‘I don’t see,’ wrote this girl, 'now on earth I can ever live without you.’ “Dare’s wife read that gush and a lot more Just like it without ever turning a hair. “ ‘Well,’ she said quietly, ‘that gin is a fool. If she knew you as well as I do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you.’ “And that, in the opinion of the discriminating few. cuts a whole lot deeper than a common, everyday rumpus.” —New York Globe. The Axial Rotation of Venue. For over two centuries It was generally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on its axis in a little less than twenty-four hours, but since Schiaparelli after long and careful observation of the planet suggested that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astronomers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory Mr. Denning sums up the available evidence on the point and can only coui elude that this particular problem still defies solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planet’s avial rotation be, as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of its revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemisphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day. while the opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night. I — • A Plant of AH Work. 1 The fields as well as the broad roads 1 of Ecuador are inclosed by adobe walls 1 surmounted by the broad leaved Amer- ] lean aloe. The aloe, sometimes called , the century plant, is one of the most j useful ai ' important plants in the ; country. The Indians thatch their huts with Its leaves. The leaves when tapped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber Is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by . the common people. The tall flower stalks are used for beans and ladders. ; The flowers, boiled and soaked In vlnet gar, make an agreeable pickle.—Natloni, al Geogr. ,>hlc Magazine. Applying the Proverb. A professional humorist was having fils boots blacked. "And is your father a bootblack, too?" he asked the boy. “No, sir,” replied the bootblack; “my ’ father Is a farmer.” ’ “Ah,” said the professional bumor- ) Ist reaching for his notebook, “he be- ) lieves in making hay while the son shines.” I Nearing the Limit. “Mrs. Henpeck seems to have her husband so well trained that he’d jump through a hoop If she held It up and gave him the word.” “It's worse than that. She even makes him help her celebrate the anniversary of her marriage to her first husband.’’—Chicago Record-Herald. Taking Them Down. Dr. Risk did not satisfy the CalvlnIstic portion ot his flock. “Why,” said they, "you diuna tell us enough aboot renouncing our aln righteousness.” “Renouncing your aln righteousness?" shouted the doctor. “I never saw any ye had to renounce.”—Driftwood. Prickly thistles have their uses without doubt, but that doesn’t justify you in becoming one.—Sparta Plaindealet.
