When I got on to sunlit ground again he says to me: 'Didn't you never have no bringln' up? Look at you now, lengthenin' out your shadow longer'n mine. Crouch, conaarn you, or I'll warm your hide .with this here club.' The sailor gave a loud laugh and emptied his glass of milk. "Them Kaffirs," he said, "regards ttieir sbadders as part of themselves. A polite Kaffir would no more walk on another's shadder than a polite Ameri can would hit a lady, ffbey have a regular shadder etiquette. You mustn't on no account let your shadder be longer than a superior's.

Much Law, Poor Cat*. Among lawyers there Is a saying that in the trial of a case an attorney if light on facts must be heavy on law. The other day an attorney was prepar ing to leave his office in one of the big office buddings to go to the courthouse to try a case. From the shelves of his library he had taken many large law books containing decisions and opin ions of higher courts. At intervals a boy went in and out of the door, and each time he bore in his arms a stack .of the books, which he carried to an express wagon that stood in the street below. The attorney was to use the books in the courtroom. Another law yer, who is of southern birth and who always addresses his friends with some army title, watched the boy as he went in and out carrying the law books. Then he dug his hands deep into his trousers pockets and said to the lawyer: "Well, Ah'll sweah, kunnel, you must have no case at all."—Kansas City Times. Snow and Rain. The first man to whom It evtr oc curred to find out how much rain was represented by a given fall of snow was Alexander Brice of Kirknewton, who in March, 1705, made a simple ex periment with the contents of a stone jug driven face downward into over six inches of snow. What he learned was that a greater or less degree of cold or of wind when the snow falls and its "lying a longer or shorter time on the ground" will occasion a differ ence in the weight and in the quantity of water produced, "but if," he added, "I may trust to the above trials, which I endeavored to perform with care, snow newly fallen, with a moderate gale of wind, freezing cold, will pro duce a quantity of water equal to one tenth part of its bulk." So that a fall of snow of ten inches represents a rainfall. of one inch.—LotufeH* Cereal cle. The Adder. full grown adder may measure two feet In length and about six Inches around the thickest part of its body. Its movements are sluggish, and of course the idea that it is capable of transferring its head from one extrem ity to the other every six months is due simply to superstition. The fact is that the tail of this snake does not terminate in a point, as with ophidians generally, but is stumpy and resem bles the head so much that It is diffi cult for an observer situated at a dis tance of a few yards to distinguish the one from the other hence the story of its being two headed, the fallacy of which no intelligent observer could to detect—Pioneer. v. Courtesy. The parvenu stood it till be could stand it no longer. "James," he cried out piteously, "tell me the worst! You find my table man ners execrable!" But his new butler, bowing first with stately condescension, only replied: "As a matter of professional courte sy Hi cannot hentertain, much less hexpress, hany hopinion which might seem in hany way to reflect on my predecessor 'ere."

"My goodness," he exclaimed sudden ly, "there's another flower on that cen tury plant! Why, it seems but yester day since I plucked a blossom from it." He walked slowly toward an oak tree 200 years old which he had tenderly raised from an acorn. "Ah, me," he mused, "haw time flies!"—Harper's Weekly. 5 The Larger Class. "Of course." said the seeker after knowledge, "we seldom hear 'thee' and 'thou' nowadays. They're used mostly i by poets, aren't they?"

"Nobody gifted with a sense of hu mor can fail to be diverted by the Puck-like manner in wliich luck makes and unmakes reputations for busiuess ability," says Will Payne in Every body's. "Years ago a gentleman named Jennings was an extensive owner of downtown real estate in Chicago. He was the first, I believe, to develop on a large scale the modern system of the ninety-nine year lease, whereby the owner Insures to himself and his heirs for a century an absolutely fixed rent al, free and clear of all charges. After Mr. Jennings had leased a lot of his lands for ninety-nine years a depres Blon came on. Other people's incomes were curtailed, but his was stable. •What foresight!' said the town. 'What sagacity!' 'What superb business judg ment!' Mr. Jennings' views on the business situation and outlook were eagerly sought. The depression passed. Realty prices advanced immensely. The Jennings lots could have been leased at twice the rental named in tie old indenture. The town shook its head sympathetically over poor Mr. Jennings' deplorable shortsightedness." Wofes of a Drummer. "I'm just a little discouraged with my work," said the tall New York boy who has started out on the road. "I was making my second trip west when I met an old drummer who had been on the road for more than thirty years. He sat with grip between his knees and talked to me. 'Chuck it, my boy,' he said. 'If there is anything else in the world you can do, do it. Look at my gray hairs. I don't know what it is to have a home. For thirty years I have seen my wife about once in five weeks. I know that I've a wife and children In a flat in New York, but that's all I do know about them. The children have grown np and married, but I have not had time to attend their weddings. My wife has grown gray, too, but she has had the best of It. She has had a home and the children. If there is anything else in the world you can do, my boy,' he repeated, 'quit drumming, and do It.*" Curious Blunder*. SotaM"remarkable mistakes !n me morials have totally escaped notice un til it was too late to rectify them. The spurs on the boots of Cromwell's statue at Westminster abbey, London, are the most interesting feature of the monument, although they generally get no attention at all from sightseers. They are worn upside down. In a painted window on the staircase which leads from the floor of Westminster palace to the committee rooms an in scription on a sword wielded by the "Black Prince" has the words "Prince of Wales." Again, In the fresco de picting the embarkation of the pilgrim fathers in the corridor leading from the outer lobby at St. Stephen's to the house of lords the Mayflower is shown to be hoisting the union jack, a flag which did not come Into existence un til 250 years after the daya Of the his toric Mayflower. A "Ringers' Jug." beer Jug in a belfry fa happily somewhat of a rarity in these days. At the beginning of the last century, however, people were not so particular. The ringers' jug at Beccles, in Suffolk, holds six gallons, a sufficiency to sus tain the ten weary ringers, though the weight of the bells did exceed six tons. The vessel is made of. red earth enware and has three handles, one of which is concealed by the neck. It bears the following inscription in quaint spelling: "When I am flll'd with liquor strong Each Man drink once and then ding done. Drink not too much to Cloud your Knoba Least you forget to make the Bobbs. A gift of John Pattman Beccles." On the reverse side is the maker's name, "Samuel Stringfellow, rotter."—Lon don Strand. The Scallop. The scallop can anchor itself as well as any ship. It never fails to drop its anchor on the approach of rough weather. The scallop, lying in its bed of shoal water, foresees a storm in true sailor fashion and at once puts out a tough and elastic little cable from a point near its hinge. This cable it fastens firmly to the nearest rock. It is then secure in the vilest weather. He who wades through scallop haunted shoals as a storm approaches may see the tiny ^shellfish mooring themselves on all sides with silent bustle. Men-of-war on Paper. Each man-of-war is built upon paper before a single plate of steel is forget!. Not only are the length and breadth of a ship decided upon, but the naval constructor can tell to an ounce how much water she will displace when her armor and guns are mounted upon her, how many times her propellers will re volve in a minute with a given pressure of steam and how many tons of coal an hour must be consumed to attain a eertof speed.—London GrajJiie.
