It is an interesting study to note in domestic animals the traits of their wild ancestors. There are some charac teristics, of course, which are readily recognizable as being similar to those of animals still in a wild state, and for this reason they give a fair idea of the life and surroundings of progenitors. The habits of the dog and cat are too familiar to comment on, but take the foal and compare his traits with those of the calf. The foal when a few days old can gallop as fast as he ever can in after life. He never leaves the dam, and takes nourishment in small quantities, avoiding a full meal, which would im pede swift escape. In lying down no at tempt is made at concealment, and when he stands his head is held high. These habits show that the animal's ancestors spent their lives in the open and not in the forests and that they were great travelers. The calf, on the contrary, fills hinr self with milk, and is a poor traveler. When danger approaches, his first im pulse is to conceal himself. He holds his head low in order to look under the branches of the forest. All his charac teristics point to the fact that the an cestral home of cattle was in a moist, wooded country, while the primeval horse roamed the plains.-New York Times. A Highly Seasoned Dinner. Colonel John W. Caldwell, who went through the civil war, tells an amusing story about a Louisville company which served in his command. He says: "We were camped in Tennessee. It was in the spring and 'greens' was the chief ration. A large number of the boys would get leave every day to go and 'pick greens.' One day a farmer came to me and said he had a complaint to lodge against some men of my regi ment. " 'They totally destroyed my plant bed,' said he. 'Pulled up all my tobac co plants.' " 'The men of my command are Ken tuckians and gentlemen,' said I, 'and I cannot believe that they would wanton ly destroy your property. They will take things to eat, but never destroy what they cannot use. However, if you will point out to me the men who did it, I will have them arrested.' "The man left, and it was not long until the mystery was solved. Dr. Byrne, who was regimental surgeon, was summoned hastily to attend a lot of men of the Louisville company who were rolling in agony and appeared to have cholera. They had eaten the tobac co plants, thinking they were 'greens.'" -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Homier and Hoosier. The Philistine tells of meeting a woman at a literary reception in Lon don who said she had heard the Ameri can "hosier poet" read at Exeter hall. "How curious that a hosier should be come your poet laureate in America!" she said. The Philistine did not know what she meant, but followed the trail of her chat until she said that her favorite among the "hosier poet's" poems was "When the Frost Is on the Pumpkin," and then he exclaimed that it was "Ri ley, the Hoosier poet." "Oh, you Americans have such a queer way of pronouncing things, " said the woman. "Yes, but Mr. Riley is not a hosier, he is"- began the Philistine. But she cut the explanation short with, "Oh, I see ! It is a joke, then. You Americans are so funny. I suppose you think Mr. Riley is a bluestocking, and so you call him a hosier." There Are Others. Barber (fishing for a compliment) Did Mr. Stubbies say anything about his visit to my place? Victim-I think he did. He said there was something unique about your shaving. Barber (delighted)-Did he, now? Victim-Yes; he said that while in the chair it was borne in upon you in the strongest manner that you were be ing shaved. After you left it was im possible to realize that you had been shaved.-Boston Transcript. Java's Fire Island. One of the greatest wonders of Java, "the fire island," a large lake of boil ing mud, is nearly two miles in circum ference, and in the center immense col umns of soft, hot mud may be seen con tinually rising and falling, like great black timbers thrust forth and then suddenly withdrawn by a giant's hand. Besides the phenomena of the columns, there are two gigantic bubbles near the western edge, which fill up like huge balloons and explode on an average three times per minute. A Conclusive Calculation. "I should think that young man would have more sense than to call on a girl every night, " said Mabel's father at breakfast. "The idea!" exclaimed the young woman.

English Landowners. The distance from Liverpool to Lon don is 201 miles. On each side of the railroad, as far as the eye can reach, the most beautiful and most splendidly cultivated farms present themselves, but not one foot of the land belongs to those who have thus brought it to such beauty and perfection. It all belongs to six men, who own it because they hap pen to be the oldest sons of their fa thers. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Moki Indians in Arizona are sun worshipers, and their Christmastide fes tival is a sun dance.

We are becoming an optimist more and more all the time. We have come to the conclusion that nearly every thing that happens, though it cannot be seen at the time, is for the best A bout 20 years ago when we were stealing a ride on a binder we got to poking wheat straws in the cogwheels to see them cut the heads off.

The Spaniel at His Best. To see the spaniel at his best he should be taken to the haunts of the waterfowl. In the salt marshes, the lakes and streams of the east, and in the prairie sloughs of the west, he is in deed a great little dog. His stumpy legs may be poor performers on dry ground, but they are very efficient when it comes to swimming. The log, too, is a hardy fellow, ready to face any weather and cold water whenever asked. As a retriever from water he is most desira ble, while his intelligence and compact form make him the best of dogs for the ducking skiff. Of course the Irish water spaniel is excluded from all references to short legs and clumsiness. A good specimen of this dog appears to be quite long legged. The chief value of the Irish spaniel to the sportsman is as a retriever. He is a worthy rival of the famous dog of the Chesapeake, and no weather is too severe, while few tasks are too difficult, for him He is game to the core, a very powerful, magnificent swimmer, and to all intents a natural retriever. His oily coat can bid defiance to cold water, while a vigorous shake appears to at once dry it. He is as hardy as a badger. He is a most intelligent and willing worker, and will show to the greatest advantage under conditions which would baffle almost any other retriever from water.-Outing. Riding on Turtles' Backs. Having had considerable experience in turtle catching, I know a swimmer can frequently approach a sleeping tur tle from behind and leap on its back before it awakes. The creature's first impulse is to dive, but if its rider knows his business he can instantly bring it to a standstill by forcing his fingers into its horny eyes, when it at once floats motionless on the surface. In the case of a midshipman whom I know of he got on a turtle's back and enjoyed a ten minutes' ride, sometimes on the surface of the water, sometimes under, before he brought the animal to a standstill. Three things are certain-first, the ability of a man to get on a sleeping turtle's back; second, by sitting far back on its shell to keep it near the surface; third, to instantly stop its ca reer by reducing it to blindness. Hav ing regard to the brevity and simplicity of Rougemont's account, I can quite weil believe that lonely man on his coral sand bank, with all his instincts preternaturally sharpened, did actually ride and guide the turtle as he has stated.-Admiral Moresby in London Chronicle. Christening Battleships. It is not believed that the origin of christening the warship was due to an act of irreverence as a mock baptism, but that its earliest inception was the human sacrifice, then the libations of wine of Greece and the north, and, with the spread of the Christian religion, the blessing of the battleship, a custom ob served today in all Roman Catholic countries. The object was the same in both the pagan and Christian rites, to make the career of the ship successful by an appeal to the protection of un known powers. Even the superstitions of those old days come down to us. We may not steal wood to make a swift keel for our new ship in the night, on the principle that thieves run fast in the darkness, but ships sail out of Mar blehead today with a broom nailed to he mast, and no crew will start out on a FEriday unless under compulsion. hicago Times-Herald.
