tumorous Jkpartmrnt. Their Deserts. Prof. Thomas Nixon Carter of Harvard was talking about Socialism. 1 "Socialism is n<< world panacea." he said, "but in the future it is to be reconed with. Socialism will, in the future. protect the poor against injustice and hypocrisy. It will expose fraud. Yes, Socialism, like old Higgins Went- (' worth, will bring out the truth. "Higgins Wentworth was hoeing one 1 April morning when three rough-look- a ing men climbed the fence and crossed 1 the field to him. They had just been ? shipwrecked, they said, on the brig ' Maria. They had lost ev> n their clothes. Would Higerins help them? r "Higgins Wentworth looked closely into the sailors' faces, for he knew the ? ways of men. Then he said: " You, the bowlegeed one. go stand twenty yards to the right, and I'll get * ye to help me a minute, with the seed- e in'. You, baldy there, you stand twen- r ty yards to the left.' "The two men complied, and then c Higgins Wentworth said quietly to the man who remained: ai,i v,,n csiv vonr cantain's v name was?" " Williams, Capt. Williams,' was the ^ reply. ^ "The old farmer sauntered t<> the man off on the right. a "'What was your captain's name?' 1 he asked. " 'Everett, sir,' the man answered. ^ "Higins Wentworth crossed the field v to the third man. 11 "'What was your captain's name?' a " 'The name was Captain Jones.' " "Higgins wentworth leaned an his d hoe and gathered the three men about d him. 11 " 'A fine lot of sailors you are," he s snorted, 'to go to sea in a ship with c three captains! No wonder you were F wrecked. It served you right.""?De- 1 troit Free Press. a , g , o Another Way Out of It.?Nobody had a ever had reason to accuse Abel Pond of 1 being dishonest, but he was as sharp a v man in a bargain as could be found in t the county. When the building com- 1 mittee applied to him for a site for the a new library he was ready to sell them a a desirable lot, but not at their price. a "I couldn't feel to let it go under t 5600." he said, with the mild obstinacy t that characterized all his dealings with ^ his fellow men.

Y Slang Tabooed.?The Philad* Iphia ^ Telegraph says: Slang is tabooed in the home of a . West Philadelphia family, principally because there is a bright little girl M who displays a persistent apitude in ( retaining expressive but uncultured phrases. r The other evening at dinner the mother, father and daughter drifted into the vernacular, and a fresh start j, was necessary. The little girl started e it. "I'm not stuck on this bread," she ^ remarked. (i "Margie." said her mother, "you want to cut that slang out." s "That's a peach of a way of correct- t ing the child." commented the fath- t. er. , "I know," replied the mother, "but j I just wanted to put her wise." j.

THE DROWNED LANDS. rhe Flats of Eastern Florida In Rainy Season. Water, water, water, north, south nd west?miles of it?varying from hree or four inches to three feet in lepth. stretching away as far as the ye could reach! The monotony of he wide expanse is broken only here nd there by small clumps of palmetos or stunted yellow pines which' ;row on little rises of land too high or the water to entirely stille their growth. Kxcept for this all else that neets the eye is water. That is how he flats or drowned lands of eastern Morida appear during the rainy seaon. It was some time, after one of these teriods of downpour that we pitchd our tent 011 a long pine-covered idge on the edge of this drowned ountry. A crowd of Seminoles had ome into the settlement that momng and reported the water falling and he deer abundant and of course that cas enough to start us off. In a short ime our outfit was packed into a wa:on and we were on our way to the lunting country. Floundering through mud. water nd palmettos was hard work for he horses, so one man was detailed o driVe the team, keeping, to the ligher lands as much as possible, rhile the others of the party, four in lumber, look the dogs and started in . beeline for the place chosen as our irst camp site on the edge of the Irowned lands proper. Several of the logs were good deer hounds and paid 10 attention to the smaller game, but ome of the pups in the pack were ontinually off after raccoons. In assing by a little flag pond, one pup reed a big 'coon in a dead pine tree, nd while he was barking at it, me ther pups discovered three more mong the Hags and there was a batle royal. For a few minutes there ras a confused mass of dogs. 'coonst egetation and water in the air. and he din would have done credit to ny menagerie at feeding time. A If nd George took a hand in the game .nd switched the pups so severely hat they gave up 'coon hunting and hereafter gave us but little trouble, i little later the old hound, I* ster, tarted a deer, but we were unable to et a shot. When we reached the camping round we found that some one else ad just Ivacated it. The ridge pole f their tent was still in position, and astened to nearby pine trees were two eer heads and four turkey feet, howing that success had attended heir hunt. We soon had the canvas ip, horses picketed and a tire going 'wo of the boys, Charlie and Frank, rent out hunting and found several oveys of quail and killed enough for ur supper. After the meal was over re sought our blankets. The fire died own along with the conversation and oon the camp was wrapped in darkess and slumber. After breakfast travel through the rater was resumed and by noon we rere again on land dry enough for amping purposes. George, Frank nd myself did some hard hunting uring the remainder of the day, but hough tracks were numerous we saw othing and returned to camp empty anded. Next morning several 01 tne Doys ad an exciting chase after the horses, rhich had strayed away from camp lid when found were taking the trail award home. After their return we et forth, Charlie and Alf on horseiack accompanied by the old dog, .ester, while the rest of us with the ther dogs started out afoot. I have ad some hard hunts and many long iresome tramps, but the walk that ay in water most of the time up to ay knees was the banner one of them 11. The sun was hot and the water 11 round reflected back its rays in he face and irritated and blistered he skin, dazzled the eyes and parchd the lips. With acres and acres of rater all around us there was none t to drink. Occasionally we scooped p some of the stale, hot stuff and ook a few swallows, but it failed to uench our thirst. It was wet, and nly in this way did the fluid resetnle water. The dogs were about as adly used up as we were and huntd but little. Charlie and Alf reached camp some. hat later than the others, the formr with a tine large buck across his lorse's back. They were riding buck award camp when they discovered a resh trail leading through a dense lump of palmetto. Charlie went round the clump and the dog chased he buck from his snug retreat among ho saw palmettos. Charlie brought lim down with a bullet the second U I.. I.,.. I,.. .1 ume distance further before Riving ip. That evening the cook added vens?n to our menu. Around the eamplire that night ome lively stories were told, for Jeorge and Frank are old deer huntrs and their experiences have been nany and various. One by one, howver, we dropped to sleep, when till if a sudden Frank sprang up from lis blanket, grabbed his gun and rushd out of the tent, creating quite an iproar as he did so. He had heard a leer whistle right outside the camp ml even yet we could hear the water plush as he ran away, but although he moon was shining Very bright, we ould see nothing of him. Investigaion showed that he had walked right nto camp. Next morning I remained 11 camp while the others repeated the actios of the day before but without uceess. The deer appeared to be noving to the higher land, so we deided to move camp again. We packed the wagon and moved oward a la rue bndv of timber land [iinwn as tlif Horseshoe Cypress. Alf ilid Frank took all the dogs save ono up and hunted the ridges. Charlie I rove the team. while (Jeorge and nyself hunted on some distance ahead f him. The pup finally struck a trail md followed it beautifully, finally umping the deer in a clump of saw almettos. Ceorge shot twice at it lid I hit it hard as it passed quarterng hy me. i gave it another shot as i plunged into another palmetto lump and it fell after a few more umps. After dressing the deer we pushed hi to the Horseshoe Cypress, where re went into eantp. That evening everal of us took stands at likely laces around the northern pari of the y press while A If proceeded to drive I out with his dogs. My stand was n a small dry mound, studded with abhage trees and surrounded on all id?-s with a foot or more of water, 'he edge of the cypress swamp was o more than twenty-live feet away ml a small path led back into it. About a year before on n similar hunt the occupant of my stand had three deer attempt to run by him, but being a good rifle shot lie succeeded in killing them all. This time, however, we failed to start a sin gle deer and were obliged to wade back to camp empty handed. Daylight next morning found us again on the stands, each man taking the one he had occupied the day before. (Jeorge started two deer in the thick cypress on the way to his stand?one of which in- declared was the "biggest buck in all Florida"? but failed to score. 1 remained on my stand a long time without ever seeing a deer. I was not alone, however. for hundreds of beautiful song birds tlittod about among the trees, while big blue cranes and other acquatic birds splashed about in the water ail around me. All of a sudden I heard a deer running toward me in the cypress. 1 was alert at once with gun ready, but the deer suddenly turned aside and dashed over the f.,11 unnu.l illmniit Hinninp into I'lUIIIC O the horsus at camp a quarter mile from my stand. He paused just long enough to take a good look at the tent, and then tore away at his best pace, the dogs strung out behind him in a long line. He soon outran theart and disappeared in the distance. The boys now came in and we prepared dinner. The dogs appeared upon the scene several hours later, one of them so sick that we despaired of his recovery. but after some careful nursing and dosing with medicine which his master happened to halve along in his camp kit, lie rapidly grew better and was apparently as well as ever by nightfall. We now broke camp and started for [ home passing through a dense hutnI mock where the dogs Mushed three wild turkeys which made their escape unscathed. Nothing further occurred worthy of note and we returned home.?Forest and Stream. LEGENDS OF ANIMALS. Interesting Old Time Stories of Bird and Beast. In the begininng the birds had no feathers, but at last word was brought that the Great Spirit had their clothes ready if they would send some one for them. As the distance was long, the turkey buzzard was selected on account of his endurance, and in recognition of the service he was to have first choice of apparel, the one condition being that he could try no suit on the second time. Can you guess the re suit? For one trilling objection or another he let all the fine feathers go by until, to his horrified astonishment, there was nothing left but the poor, commonplace suit that he wears today. We talk conceitedly of the airship as though a brand new invention of the modern brain when thousands of years ago King Solomon had a most satisfactory one, a magic carpet upon which he frequently took a spin through space. Only one fault could be found with this carpet touring car. It had no covering, and too often the sun shone uncomfortably upon the royal head. Now, the wisdom of Solomon included a rare linguistic accomplishment The king spoke the language of birds. So one day when out riding on nis carpet he called upon some passing vultures to hold their wings over him by way of awning. But they were going north, the king toward the south, and to his righteous indignation the birds insolently refused. "Cursed be ye, () vultures!" he cried in wrath. "And because you will not obey the commands of your lord who rules over the whole world the feath eis of your necks shall fall off and the heat of the sun and the coldness of winter and the keenness of the wind and the beating of the rain shall fall upon your rebellious necks, which shall not be protected with feathers like the necks of other birds, and, whereas you have hitherto fared delicately, henceforward you shall eat carrion and your race shall be impure until the end of the world." According to Arab folklore, one day Allah called the south wind to him. condensed it, took a handful, blew upon it the breath of life and thus created a horse. But the steed at once began to find fault. His neck, he complained, was too short to reach the grass, his back had nothing to steady a saddle, his hoofs were so sharp that they w >uld surely sink into the sand. instead 01 reproving ins nigra.nuoe m words Allah then created the camel as an object lesson <>f reproach. The horse shuddered at the sight of what he wanted to become, and this is the reason that every horse starts when first meet ins his caricature. Perhaps you have nut had the opportunity of gazing dentist-wise into the mouth of a coyote and so have never wondered why its back teeth looked as though they were broken off and forced down into the gums, but you must surely have come across many an empty locust skin. To the south of the Xuni lands In New Mexico a coyote started out hunting. but got no farther than the foot of a certain old pine tree, so fascinated did he become in a locust who sat playing a flute and singing in one of its branches. In fact, such was the ani mal's enthusiasm that he insisted upon taking a lesson on the spot. His voice proved hoarse and growly, but lie persevered until he learned the words of the locust song and turned homeward, proudly repeating them, when by bad luck he fell into a gopher's hole, said other words under iiis breath and forgot his lines. Rack to tin- pine tree he trotted again imposed upon the locust's good nature, once more sallied forth in triumph. Rut this time as he practiced aloud he frightened a lloek of pigeons that Hew out with such a noise as completely to muddle his brain, and there was nothing left for him but another appeal to the wornout locust. Now. even a music teacher will turn, and the locust, seeing him coming from afar and having heard that coyotes ate insects, decided to rid himself of this tiresome fellow. X'o sooner thought than done. In a Hash he swelled up. split his skin and crawled out. binding iit hand a clear, light colored bit of quartz. he put it in the empty skin, mucilaged it up the back with pitch and (lew off to another tree. The trick worked to a charm. The coyote called out to ihe supposed locust again and again without receiving a reply, became enraged, snatched the effigy out of the tree and bit so hard nit the stone thai he ran yelping away. The water of a creek partly soothed his pain, but ever since the mouth of a coyote has shown the effect of that tragic bite, and "whenever a locust ventures out on a summer morning to sing a song it is his custom to. protect himself from the consequences of attracting too much attention by skinning himself and leaving his counterpart in the tree." HINDU METHODS OF COOKING. ?< Said to Save Nutriment In Vegetables a That Americans Lose. Iti India it is literally a case of be- ^ in,; a vegetarian or starving, for the ? Hindus of Hindustan, taking them al- 2| most as a whole, are enjoined by their &, religion to abstain from eating meat. They are not allowed even to open the shell of an egg because by so doing they would destroy the life within it. 2 Thus they are compelled to subsist on 5 a vegetarian diet or go hungry. Hut *' tr 1... I?,u M II 1111 Iiiuan ??? nmia iu |?mr -i their vegetables fur the table as do the 4? women of America, writes Saint Nihal Singh in the Nautilus, it is certain that w the Hindus would he meat eaters?it would be impossible for them to live ^ on a vegetarian diet. 4* This for an essential reason. The g American cook boils all the flavor as w well as the vitality out of the vegetables and throws it away. The Occi- ^ dental cook declares this operation is necessary, as the flavor of the vegetables is too strong and pronounced if the ^ water is not drained away from it. Re that as it may the result is that the food has lost much of its nutriment and is useless to build up or sustain the If body. Moreover, the boiling process g renders the dish more or less insepid in ^ flavor. The East Indian cook works on a di- a rectly opposite principle. The woman ? of India is taught that the food must be 4! cooked in its own steam, or with just ^ enough water to generate steam to It cook it. and every drop of moisture * must he evaporated before the food is ? served unless it is to be eaten with a gravy or shorba. in which case a small* T quantity of liquid is allowed to remain Joiv it. Rut as a usual thing not a drop of T water is drained away. This would be looked upon as positively sacrilegious and wasteful by the East Indians. C The American throws away as useless ^ every day what would keep an East Indian family from starvation. This fact was demonstrated when of during a siege the Indian soldiers re- pt quested that the water in which the rice was cooked alone should be issued p, to them, while the rice itself might be served to the English soldiers. This was done, and the native sepoys apparently were as well as their white er brothers. 'e a w A VERY QUEER BIRD. H The One Younq Mark Twain Sprung Upon the Scientists. w Mark Twain's father was an ornithologist. He had several friends who s< were also enthusiasts on the subject of ti birds. Whenever any one of them discoverel a rara avis it was the custom to have a consultation. Mark had been i witness of several of these bird inquests and had noted the delight the "j old men took in discussing a new js found specimen. One day it occurred to him to provide the Hannibal ornithologists with a real circus in the form of a bird. He killed a crow and also a barnyard rooster. Plucking out the tail feathers of both the crow and ' the rooster, he substituted the roost producing a unique effect. When he e? had the specimen nicely prepared he * went to his father and. handing it to * him, said: "Here, father, is a very curious bird 1 shot. I thought you would be inter- *? ested in it." * The old gentleman gazed upon the " specimen with astonishment. That evening the ornithologists of Hannibal were assembled in Mr. Clemens' par- *7 lor. The rare specimen was put before them. The discussion was long " and learned. The opinions expressed ?4 were various. One thought the bird was an offshoot of the bird of paradisc family: others had equally ridicu- , lous notions as to its ancestry. But there was one who refused to be *1, swerved by the peculiarity of the bird's tail from the judgment that it was of the crow family. , "Why. just look here." he said, lift- ^ ing the bird by its tail feathers.
