A yonng girl who Is always trying
some new thing was present once
when tho /lector apt a neighbor's bro?
ken arm. She was sure tlmt she knew
exactly how It was done and rather
anxious to put her new knowledgo Into
practice. Some time later n hen out
In the chicken ynrd broke Its leg. Tho
girl directly announced (hat she meant
lo ?vj It "ami make It as good as
neir." Accordingly It was put Into n
plaster cast and left for the proper
length of time to knit. When the day
enme to take off the enst the girl ran
out to the henhouse In grent eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
n scream that brought evory member
of the family to her side. The chicken
was jumping miserably over tho ground
sldewiso Instead of directly forwnrd.
You know a ben's leg has a crook
Well, she had crooked It the wrong
way, that was nil.

Here Is a curious report of the allen?
In London In the year 11507: "There
being a grent Increase of foreigners In
the city, her majesty ordered the lord
mayor to take the nnme, quality and
profession of all strangers residing
within the city of London." The- list
was headed by the Item, "Scots. 40."
Other nations were represented by
"French, 42?: Spaniards ami Portu?
guese, 45; Italians, 140; Dutch, 2,0.10;
Burgundlnns, 44; Danes, 2; Llegools, 1."

Attached to 11m extreme end of the
bowsprit of a sailing vessel there may
sometimes be seen a piece of some ma?
terial that looks remarkably like leath?
er. This seeming piece of leather Is
really a shark's tail. It Is placed there
because the snllors think that it augurt
good luck, believing thnt pleasant voy?
ages will be tbelr lot while it remains
there. Instead of tho bowsprit the tal!
Is st times nailed to the top of one of
the masts.- -London King.
