straight on the smaller bottle aud took it off again.Before replacing the label ho licked it to make sure of its sticking properly.But while pouring he had Inadvertently let a drop or two trickle on the outside of the bottle where he had affixed the label.Then when he touched the label with his tongue he felt as if something shot along that member and also a jump of his heart.So he rushed to a

Tail.Once upon a time a cat who prided herself on her wit and wisdom was prowling about the barn in search of food and saw a tail protruding from a hole.“There Is the conclusion of a rat,” she

distrusting the upper stories.It has been conjectured that this Is because the dog’s forelegs break easily below the shoulder, and the beast seems to realize this.The fox has no sueh fear and has been known to climb a tree with plenty of small limbs to the height of seventeen feet.Swimming comes easier than climbing to most animals as well as to many races of men.Hats and guinea pigs can swim well and do not climb at all.Bears can climb well if little, but the grizzly and other large species stay mainly on the ground.A bear always climbs down a tree backward, us does tiie domestic cat until she has nearly reached the ground, when she turns and jumps, but most wild cats run down a trunk bead first, even the heavy leopard being a more skillful climber than the light house cat.The tiger and lion, however, do not climb, for no discoverable reason unless it be that they fear falling on account of their weight.Modiflentlon® of Iron.Add carbon to pure iron, aud It becomes steel.Add a

May I try?” he asked.“Certainly,” said the man, frith a grin.The strong man pressed the tip of his forefinger toward the tip of his thumb and the spuriois coin bent like tissue paper.“Well,” said the tibacconlst dum-founded, “it looks like a wrong ’un after all!

A Circnlar Rainbow.A member of a party who made an ascent of Finstcrrehorn some years ago thus described a novel sight which delighted the tired climbers: The day we mounted the Finsterrehorn we were treated to the rare sight of a circular rainbow, the phenomenon lasting Dearly half an hour and forming a complete circle.There were heavy clouds lying some 4.000 feet below on the Aar glacier, and It was on these that the beautiful, brilliantly colored ring lay.A second circle was also visible.We were near the summit of the peak when the Ifc-st of the party observed it, and from that point the face of the mountain on the Grimsel side is almost perpendicular, giving us fi splendid view.A Richter Anecdote.I It is not always the great conductor that shines as a composer, though unfortunately he often labors under the delusion that such is the case.On one I occasion Hans Richter was present at a concert given by a brother composer, at which the latter performed a long and not particularly interesting work of his own.When the composition came to an end, Richter expressed ids criticism in o very few words.“Well," he said, I, too, haf written compositions to make a pile so high”—raising his hand three feet from the ground—“but I haf burned them!”__________________ Nicely Graded.It Is still a tradition that the people of Manchester, England, should gibe at Liverpool with the proverb, “A Manchester man, a Liverpool gentleman, but, it Is said, classification is not so strongly marked in Lancashire as 1* the old days.When stagecoaches were running, a guard was once asked, “Who has tha’ gotten inside, Billy?” Billy consulted his list and replied, “A gentlemon fra Liverpool, a mon fra Manchester, a chap fra Owdham and a fellow fra Wigan.” ___________________ She Remembered.Small Mabel bad received a parental Injunction to remember at least one thing the minister said at church, and upon her return home exclaimed, “1 remember something!” “That’s right, dear,” rejoined her fa ther.“Now tell me what the minister said.” “He said,” replied Mabel.“ ‘A collec tion will now be taken up.’ ” France was ready to second the el forte oi Austria.and Germany and Russia Industrial Trouble.maintained a P^ive attitude.(*reat tho writCr, America has Rossi and, B.C., Jan.24.-At a lengthy Britain was at first ^ed the ^«faction of seeing England and meeting of the Rowland Miner.Lmon, decHned either Germany di.put.ng_for her favor.» Last Saturday niuety-five horses were offered for sale to representatives of the British Governmert for remounts for South Africa, and last night, it was decided to submit the question of calling off the strike in progress for the past six months to a vote and the balloting takes piece tomorrow, commencing at 2.30 and closing at 8.30 p.m., The sentiments so far as can be learned, seems very strong in favor of putting an end to the industrial trouble.reiK>rt from Washington, dcclimxl either to sign su eh a nota os the Austrian ambassador proi»sed, or to take any further ste|*.lAtcr.Austria and trance made direct representations at Washington but ceased their efforts after the declaration of war, whereafter they relied on the efforts of the pope, who was hacked by the tacit approval of alt the Powers XVIUI**» IS**.“Isn’t It awful how thin Mr flcnpcv • 's now?” remarked Mrs.Gabble to t > : husband.“And he used to be so stem “Perhaps.” chimed in little Willie, n membertng his trouble with his blew llri,{i_“porhapA hi» wife forgets to bk*'’ him up regular.Iik< you smd she ustn PbiUdelohia Près».A fiood llariraln.Minister (reading wadding service)— And you, Hans, take this woman for better, for worse?linns Frankfurter (conscientiously)— For better, Mr!
