SOME CURIOUS SPOONS. Uses to Which They Were Put by Peo ple a Few Centuries Ago. We are familiar nowadays with spoons of many shapes intended for every variety of purpose, but some old fashioned styles are now merely curi 'siies. There is the old fashioned narrow spoon. for instance, which was used for extracting marrow from bones. It was made double, one encd being used for smali! bones and the other for those of larger bore. Another example is the nulberry spoon. This has a perforated bowi and a spi;ked and pointed handle, says the London Globe. The implemlents were male for use in a day when mulber ries were much more commonly eaten than tury are at the present time. With the perforated bov : a little sugar was sprinkled on the berry. which was then conveyed to the mouth on the spiked end of the handle. The introduction of tea led to the making of a variety of new kinds of spoots. including the necessary tea spoon1 itself, some of which still re main iln Ise. while others have disap peared. At South Kensington may be seen, for example. a curious collection of the little scoops so well known to our great-grandmothers as caddy spoons. Tea caddies of the old fash ioned kind have long been superseded. and when the eaddy with its two lid ded and metal lined end compartments and the sugar bowl in the cavity be twee: went out of use the caddy spoon or scoop disappeared also. Another obsolete curiosity Is the snuff spoon, which in the days when nearly everybody took snuff and took it everywhere was used for conveying the scented powder from the box to the hInd or in some cases direct to the nose. Candle spoons and pap spoons also are out of date. A Llangollen gentleman a few months ago wrote in a Shropshire paper that he had in his possession a silver pap spoon -vbich had been originally given by the M\ar quis of Exeter to a member of the Iloggins family of Bolas. The posses sor of this spoon remarked that it had been given to him by his father with the wish that it should be handed over to the first married in er.h suc ceeding generation. for as such it had come to him through the intermarriage of the two families in years gone by. Three hundred years ago there was one at Ilford. in Essex. which held more than a quart. Others of more legitimate make were such as the curi ous combination implement with which folk of that date were familiar: When most people still dipped their fingers into the general dish to help them selves to meat more dainty diners car ried about with them an implement which was a combination of spoon and fork and toothpick. The fork was at the back of the spoon, while the handle of the double article was fnished off with a little figure t'erminal, which served as han dle for the toothpick. The terminal figure was a very favorite form of spoon ornamentation. It is most familiar in the apostle spoons. of which original sets fetch such high prices and of which latter day imitations are so abundant, but the figures were by no m'eans confined to the apostles. In some castes the spoons were curiously finished with double heads. which can hardly have conduced. one would think, to conven ience of handling. A curious but de cidedly unpleasant form of ornament gave its name to the "death's head" spoon, which was made for com~memlo rative purposes, a very unattractive kind of "memento mori." PROVED HiS ABIUITY. A Tenderfoot's Wonderful Feat in Herding Sheep. In the wvest they tell this story about the east, perhaps by way of retalia tion for some of the tall stories about the west that they tell down east. A young man, just graduated from an eastern institution of learning, went to the west and apphied at a large ranch for a job. "What can you do?" asked the owner. "Nothing much. but I'm willing to work and can learn." replied the eager applicant. *'Know how to ride a horse?" "No. I never rode one in my life." "Rather a slim chance for you to be useful here. I'm afraid." "What have you to do for a man if he could ride?" "Herding sheep." "I think I could get along at that very well without a horse." "Young man. I'm afraid you don't know much about this business. I have a large ranch here and some thou sands of sheep. A man without a horse would make a pretty poor show." "Well, I'll tell you: wh'len I was at college I was the chaunpioni sprinter' of the institution. I believe I could do you some good service. I have a long dirtance record too. I wish you'd give me a chance and let us see wvhat I can do." With a goo~d natured but pitying smile the r'anchmian said all right and bade his new mia to get somec supper, turn in and be ready to go to work early the next morniug. When the employer rose next morn ing he saw the new employee comn in from the direction (of the sheep quarters. Somewhat surprised 't the young fellowi''s enterprise in getting u'p so early, lie accosted him: "Well, you're up and ready to go to work, are you?" "Oh. nay. yes: I've been at wvork for two o'r three hours." Then the ra melhman noted thait the~ tenderfoot was dressed in w orking clothes, a sweater, and already looked rather flushed. "What have yo)u been doing?" he asked. "Driving those lambs into the cor "What lambs? I have no lambs. This Is not the hu~nb season." "Well. I chased eighty-five of them ini. and I tell you I had a time of it too." The ranchman wvent with the young tenderfoot to see what the story he told was abo.ut. And. su:'e enough, huddled up togeth e'r. frightened and tired our, were eigrhty-live wvild jackrabbits. "All ri::ht, young mnan; I think you'll do." said the ranchman.-Chicago Rec ord.-IIrald.

As Bill. the desert evangelist, once said. the mule is the only bird that has a1 thing to kick with and wears its wings on the side of its head. Bill got reliigion after he quit driving mules or else he quit driving mules when he got religion. Anyway, he knew what he was ta!king about. The theory of evolution teaches us that the jackass is an unexpurgated edition of the jack rabbit, bound In leather and complete in one volume. Both have the same characteristic hind leg motion. but with the difference that the rabbit thereby propels itself. whereas the mule propels others. The latter end of the mule is hinged and has a hair trigger arrangement and Is as prone to accidental discharge as a powder mill is to fly upward. There fore it comes in military matters be cause of the omnipresence of the ar my mule with its peculiar way of making itself felt that the rear Is the place of danger. A most notable accessory of the beast is the strident and raucous vocal at tachment situated up freat. No means have as yet been discovered by which this mechanism can be lubricated, and the melody is a sort of cross between our neighbor's Phonograph and the whistle of the pancake factory across the river. It is mostly nocturnal in its manifestation. It is a curious fact that this apparatus is controlled from the rear. for to uncork the music the beast has merely to extend its caudal appendage into a horizontal position. It is said by certain rash individuals who lean toward osteopathy that this vocal exercise may be suspended by banging the monkey wrench to the safety value. But I do not consider this a healthy amusement and am in clined toward absent treatment. Although the latter end of the beast Is loosely hung and the former adds insult to injury, yet, interesting as are both these phenomena. the super. Intive characteristic of the creature is its expression of countenance. That long ascetic physiognomy bounded by those hopeless ears and quivering lips seenis infinitely sad and yearning, with that meek, lof suffering. quoth the-raven-never-more look in Its eye. You are conscious of a feeling of sym pathy for this fellow creature. You reach for your bandanna and draw nigh to sympathize with Its grief and soothe its plaintVe mood, when, biff, you are knocked into the middle of next week, while the mule looks round with that heartbroken expression as if to say. "Such a sad accident, wasn't The moral of this dissertation is that it is time to put the cart before the horse when the horse is a mule.-Earl H. Cressy in Minneapolis Journal. MAORI TRADITIONS. Legends and Customs of the Natives of New Zealand. Many traditions of the Maoris of New Zealand indicate true refinement of feeling. That of Niwareka, or Great Delight, is one of these and represents a gentle Maori maiden, beautiful and modest, who, though deeply loving her bridegroom, yet shudders at the bar barity of his people and at his delight in bloodshed and cruelty. Unable to bear the sights and sounds around her, she passes from his embrace and seeks the shadows of another world. Only through great suffering and sacrifice oes her young husband, unable to bear his solitary lot, redeem her from the rhades. This beautiful legend Is bound up with the origin of the custom of the tattoo, an ordeal which the lover was compelled to endure that he might realize the nature of suffering. One of the finest legends of old Mao ri romance relates how a daughter of the heavens condescends- to dwell with man, but, repelled by his rudeness and want of sympathy, ascends again to the skies, carrying with her her eirth born child. 11er husband is only able to reach her and regain her love by "climbing upward, not by earthly tendrils, but by those which, descend ing from the heavens, have taken root in earth." One curious feature of the domestic life of the New Zealand natives is that the old women are led to believe that the highest honor they can enjoy Is to be permitted to do all the cooking and prepare the food. A great deal of la bor is thus loft to them, which they cheerfully perform, resenting any in terference on the . t of the younger Maori women, who-thus have plenty of leisure for enjoyment.-Chicago News.

Tune the Band Plays During the Per formance Tells the Timo. "Did you ever see a member of a circus look at his watch during the performance'" asked a man who is familiar with the circus business of several men in a group of talkers. None of them recalled ever having noted this action and marveled at the statement that a wdtch was never needed. "The tune of the band tells the tale," went on the speaker. "From thetime the first whIstle is sounded, which is five minutes before the performance begins, until the last race is run on the hippodrome track the circus folk do not need a timepiece. "The first whistle is followed by the second one five minutes later, and after that time any one connected with the show can tell just what acts are on, even if outside of the tent. The band is the timepiece with a circus. Any employee can tell what is going on by the tune the band is playing. The band leader knows just what is re quired when he arranges the music. and it is unusual for any changes whatsoever to be made. The grand introductory -).,geant requires a certain kind of music. The high school horses require a cakewalk. Acrobats want a certain kind of music. Aerial perform ers use another kind. This definite routine of music day by day enables the show people to time their actions without watch or clock."-Indianapolis News. CHAMPS ELYSEES. Paris Has the Most Light Hearted Street In the World. From the Avenue des Champs Ely gees to the Boulevard des Capuchins in Paris is but a step, but there the tune is even merrier. It is a place of noises, blare, glare, the perfume of women, the raucous honk-honk of automobile horns, by day the street of costly shops, by night the promenade in chief of his most Satanic majesty. It is at its best-or worst-in February, dur ing Mi Careme, when the air is thick with confetti and the denizens of the boulevards are beside themselves. No use then to sit at one of the little ta bles on the sidewalk, thinking to sip your bock while you enjoy the swiftly changing panorama of the festival. In a momeitt you would find the bock a porridge of confetti; your hat jammed over your ears; the chair jerked from under you and your erstwhile happy self fiat on your back. It is marvelous, the penetrating quality of confetti! I have shaken It out of my innermost pockets; out of my shoes. I have even found It In my socks and hobnobbing with the francs in my purse. It flits everywhere, and when Mi Careme Is over the streets are thick with it. a multicolored snow. You buy it at so many sous -,he package from venders on the boulevards, until the desire for more of it becomes an obsession.-Au brey Lanston in Bohemian. A Brave Briton. When the attack was made on Sidon, during the war with Syria, it became necessary for the British troops to ad vance across a long, unprotected bridge in the face of a battery of si~x guns, which completely commanded the approach. The men were unwilling to expose themselves to certain death, when Arthur Cumming, carefully dress ed in full uniform, stepped forward to the middle of the bridge. It was im mediately swept by the fire of the bat tery. When the smoke had rolled away, there stood Cumming intact, carefully brushing the dust from his boots, after which he stood erect. fixed a single glass in his eye and looked back at the men. This was too much, and they captured that bridge and bat tery with a vwgoop. Considerate Bridegroom. A girl and a young man, both of whom had steady jobs, were married the other day. The day after they were married the girl said t;o h.e fond husband. "Oh, George, now that we are married there is only one thing I regret, and that is that I have to give up my fine position." The fond young husband stroked the silken tresses of he young wife's hair and soothingly replied: "Now, darling, don't worry. You needn't give up your position. I'll give up mine."-Kansas City Star.

The way fishes sleep is a study which few people have taken up, but which is nevertheless very interesting. They are very light sleepers and fre quently assume singular positions, but :he most remarkable thing is the change of color which the majority of them undergo while asleep. Usual ly their spots ard stripes become dark er and more distinct when they have successfully sought temporary ob livion. Sometimes the pattern of their col oring is entirely changed. The ord. nary porgy, for instance, presents in the daytime beautifully iridescent hues playing over its silvery sides. but at night, on falling asleep, it takes on a dull bronze tint, and six conspicuous black bands make their appearance on its sides. If it is suddenly awakened by the turning up of the gas in the aquarium it immediately resumes the silvery color that it shows by daylight. Naturalists ascribe these changes to the principle of "protective coloration" and point out that the appearance of black bands and the deepening of the spots serve to conceal the fish from their enemies when lying amid the seaweeds.-Buffalo Timo s. CHASING RAINBOWS. Folks to Whom Happiness Is Always Just Out of Reach. How many people go through life de luded with the conviction that if they could only get a little more money. get into a little more comfortable posi tion, own a little better home, or if they could only get over the partleu lar trouble that is annoying them at the time, they would be happy. I know a man who had a very hard boyhood, suffered great poverty, who is now fifty years old, and he has al ways honestly believed that if he could only get the particular thing he was after or get over the particular difficulty that was annoying him at the moment he would be perfectly hap py, but he Is the same anxious, rest less, expectant spirit today as when a youth. He. has been quite scess #* and has done some very remark able things, but he is invariably in hot water. There Is always something that nettles him or destroys his hap piness. and, although he is a well meaning man, he has made his family, his employees and everybody about him very unhappy because he is al ways fretting and worrying, always borrowing trouble.-Success.
