CHOCK FULL OF FUN? Siovr *n Athletic Parson Amused and i Surprised a Cowboy. 'A capital story is told of n uni versity man who was the stroke par Of his crew and an invincible athlete 9ii the football field. He entered the ministry und spent _ears in missionary labor in the far wrest. Walking one day through a frontier town, a cowboy, bent on having a lark, stepped up to him 2tnd said : "Pafson, you don't have esough tun. Tak? a drink." \ The minisUrr declined. \ I ("Well, parson/'* he said, <syou annst have some fui). Here's a card feaioon. Take a hand in a game/" The minister declined. 1 i "Parson," said the cowboy, , you'll dio if you don't have ?omo *un." And he knocked the parson'* hat iftt his head and hit him on the ear. The old athlete's spirit rose. The science which hod been learned in earlier days and forgotten for a ?quarter of a century was aroused, *nd a blow on the jaw of that cow boy sent him sprawling in the street. The parson walked over him as 5f he had been a door rug, picked liim up and dusted the side of the. ?ouse with him and then threw him in the road. As the ambulance was carrying th? cowboy off he raised his head feebly and said: "Parson, what did you fool me ?or? You are chock full of fun."? Exchange. _ A Need of the Hour.

The streut candy peddler is one ?f the things that attract the atten tion of the tourist ou his first or Tivol in Mexico, says Modern Mexi co. As the climate is warm enough to be out of doora all ?ie year around, the candy vender is to be found at his post from one year's end to the other, including Sun days> Saturdays and feast days. The candy man boa a very cucient his tory. The Aztecs were very fond of sweets, of which they understood the art of making very many kinds and varieties. The soldiers of Cortes tell us that on their way to this city from A'cra Cruz on that memorable march against the city of the Aztecs they were met along the way by venders who sold sweats of many kinds, which became very agreeablo to the taste when onco they had got accustomed to them. Tb$ candy vender takes up his place at tho cor ner of a street, where he remains all day from early morning till late at""] night. As a general thing, too, you may find him in the same place all the year round. Once a vender has possession of a certain place the pth er venders recognize his right and do not molest him with competition. Sometimes a vender will sell only one kind of candy. In this case he in all probability makes it himself. ,However, many venders have lately been* seized with the,- progressive spirit of the times and display quite s little stock in trade of kinds of sweets, most of which are not known outside of Mexico. Tho candy vender generally has a small foi ding table about 1% by 2% feet in dimensions. On this he piles all his wares. Therefore you have no trouble in finding exactly what you want, for there it is all spread.out before you*.. If you do not find itHhere you need not make further inquiries. Tho vender will ?Gt? iiiivu it. There are over a thousand street j candy venders in the City of* Mexico.. Some of th?se have push carts, an inspiration of the new ago of mod-1 ern Mexico. These are generally ] more ambitious than their fellows and generally go about from fair to . fair. They are to be found about the better markets and the plazas on feast days, and they generally hang around outside the schools, where they sell to the children on school days. Some of these venders, who Ere generally young fellows, have made considerable money. Unnecessary Pr?caution.

As the colonel had given strict orders that this was not to bo p?fmitted, the gardener accosted tho man.

Up to 1G9? tho sole source of tho toffco supply was Arabia, but iu that year it was introduced into Java by the governor g?n?ral of tho island, and the clinmte was found to be so well adapted to it that culti vation was begun on a largo scale. One of the first plants grown in Java was sent to the botanical gar dens at Amsterdam, and seed from ' it Avas sent to Surinam, resulting in its introduction into that country in 1718. Ten years later it found its way to the West Indies, and from that time its cultivation has been general throughout the inhabited portions of the tropics. The regions best adapted to its culture aro well watered mountain slopes, varying from 1,000 to 1,000 feet in altitude and between tho parallels of 15 de- j grees north and 15 degrees south latitude. According to the altitude at which it is grown, the colfee bean varies in size and color, that from tho highlands being email and light green and nearer the coast of a yel low -tinge and much larger. Tito wild trees of Liberia, which flourish in lowlands, produce the largest beans known, which are, however, inferior in quality,. as is the cose with the majority of the African product. Eastern coffee generally may be distinguished by its yellow color and large beans as compared with the smaller green berries of Central and South American growth. In its wild state the coffee tree is slender, reaching a height of twelve to twenty feet, but under cultivation it is pruned to grow not more than 1 six or eight feet high. The leaves resemble those of the laurel, though not so dry and thick, and are ever green, while the flowers are some what like tho jasmine. Tho trees are completely cohered ?T?tu blos soms, which perfume the whole countryside. The fruit resembles the cherry very much, especially when ripe, when it is a dark purple. Curing a Smoker. A wise mother, caught her little boy smoking a cigarette the other I day. Instead of inverting him over ; her knee and nearly spanking tho' life out of him she said: "Johnny, dear, I 6ee you aie get- ; ting quite a big little man. Como away 'in, and I will give you one of j papa's great big cigars to smoke." j So Bhe marched Johnny away into papa's study 'and sat him down to sm?kejme of papa's cigars. | She sat down opposite and watch ed, while his lips grew white and his eyes yellow and his bauds dropped helplessly, and as?a little later she . ministered to .him she had the satis faction of receiving, his 'vehement promise that he would never, naver smoke again until he was older.-^ London Tit-Bits. ; ! ! On* Experience Enough. When four-year-old Gertrude had cried for four succe^Vivnighta with toothache and none of the family had bean able to sleep well papa took her to the dentist and had the offending tooth drawn. Gertrude willingly submitted to tho operation, not knowing the pain connected with, it, but was very indignant at her father after it was all over. Some time afterward she had a canker core on her upper gum, and while at the breakfast table she bit upon a crust of feread and could not avoid an exclamation of pain. "What's the matter now?" asked papa. I "Well," was the answer, "I have a sore gum, but you aren't going to have it pulled out" ??~-?;? Ago and Gray Hair, As age advances tho- hair grows gray by a natural process, but this may be much: hastened by severe anxiety or other causes, and in manyv instances nremature blanching of the hair is hereditary. As the change is taking place hairs may often be found which are white at their bases, but retain their color at their ends. Brown-Sequard kept a con stant watch on some of the hairs of hia own beard while it was turning ; gray and found that at times an en tire hair'would change in the course ota night.' This loss of color seems to bo duo partly to a loss of power to produce pigment and partly to th% presence of air in tho hair shafts. : :" .

Ho Won His Freedom by His. Plucky Fight For Light. This i? tho story of a rat that ' showed a courage and strength of mind in tho presence of, great dan ger. Tile man who telis the talo had gone down to the river one even ing to fish and heard the rat full into a well near by, in which the surface of the water wus nbout live feet down. "Tho rat could not climb up the sides und was reduced to eitting on a bent bit of pipe. He was fairly trapped. As the colony of rats of winch ho wus a member had committed many recent atroci ties, among other things murdering young ducks and chiekens at the farm ta well as stealing eggs and slaughtering infant rabbits, it was deemed that the rat ought to be kill ed. I swept him oil the pipe in the net, but he ran up the handle as quick us lightning, and as I had no fancy for completing the ladder with m}' hand and arm I shook him back into the well. I then rather reluctantly decided to drown him, though it was a cold blooded pro ceeding, and I did not much like it. "So tho lamp was 'shone' on to the water, from which the* rat had now emerged. He was again sit ting on his pipe. You can see far deeper down into the water with a light at night than you can in tho sunlight in the daytime, and when I caught the rat in the net and push ed the latter down below water, with tho open part of tho net against the nut side of the well, I saw the rat swim around in the net looking for a hole. All this took some time, and it could get no breath. But this did not disturb it. It then appeared with its feet upward, and I thought it was dead. But a person with mo said, 'No, ho is biting through the net,* This was tho case^ Tho rat was holding on with all four feet nod biting through the net, made of dressed fishing line, on the top side. "I shook the net and pushed it down lower. Again the rat began its efforts an?V" bit through several strands till it got its head and shoulders out. All this time it was under water. Such courage and coolness must have caused admira tion even in a rat catcher, and I promptly pulled up the net and de termined to give the rat his life. It was not quite exhausted even then, bat sat on the grass in the light of the lamp, half m the net and half out, with its head up and its eyes open. I shook it free from the mesheB, when it .eat up and had a good look at us and then sneaked off into some cover by the bank." Took It With His Meal*. A doctor tells of a very stout pa tient who came to him about reduc ing his weight, says tho editor of Modern Medical Science.' The doc tor drew up a careful dietary con sisting of dry toast, boiled and various'other things calculated to keep a man from accumulating fat. At the end of a month the pa tient returned stouter than ever. The physician was astonished and asked the man what lie had been eating. ' "Just what you prescribed," w? ?|?eanswer. -'Anything else?" "Why, of course. I ate my regu lar meals as usual." Just For a Moment. In the early days In Iowa, writes a correspondent of the Youth's Companion, a village school was held in a room of a farmhouse. .The former, Mr. Jennings, told the pu pils that they must not molest his Dees. They were obedient children and respected tho farmer's rights. More over, since most of them went bare foot, they were not anxious to stir up trouble in the hives. One day a little girl went to Mr. Jennings and made this naive ex planation: "Please, Mr. Jennings, my brother Willie otepped on a bee, but it was en accident, and ho got right off." ' I? Came Off. Isabel was- playing in a wagon,' and while she was climbing in and . out over the wheel the front of her ! dainty white apron became smeared with axle grease. When her mother discovered tho soiled apron she said,: "Oh, Isabel! I told you not to go near that wagon. Now your pretty apron is spoiled, for that grease will "never como off, Azls grosse never Jcojnee off anything/' "Why, yes it does, mamma," cor rected-'J^doU 'It cams off of tho vagon^ didn't it ?"
