When Valor Balks. A couple of Kansas men were tall: ng of fesrtessness the other day. "All this talk." said one of them. -reminds Lume of a peace officer I knew a number years ago in western Kansas. This eofcer was entirely fearless-in fact. the kind of chap who would bare charged hades wIth a single bucket of water. To look down into the barrel of a gun In the other fellow's hand was as placidly accepted an affair for him as to light his pipe. He was sent for one day. 'Wbat's the matter? he asked. "'Cowboy in that room.' said a citi ien, designating the place. 'Be's wild and dangerous. lHe's locked himself in, and we're afraid he'll break out and donus harm. "So this oMcer opened the door of the room and looked In. The cowboy had a six shooter in one hand and a i stick of dynamite in the other and calmly remarked that he would turn them both loose in case the officer came Into the room. The officer con sidered the thing for a minute. Then he backed away and as he did so re marked: ''Let him sleep &t off. They Is times when a man who ain't afraid is a blind foo.' "-Kansas City Journa!. Too Attentive. "People who write begging letters are eatirely too persistent," said a charity official. "They remind me of a summer resort episode. A young man went there for his two weeks' va cation. He put up at a cottage. He paid about $9 a week. Well. when he came to depart this young man said to the boarding mistress: 'Madam, you have been most atten tive to we during my stay here.' " Thank you, sir; thank you very much' said the lady. " 'Yes' continued the young na'. *you have been most attentive, and not only you. but everybody-every body in the house. if I may say so has been most perseveringly attentive to me day and night. and, madam, to show my appreciation 1 am going to ofer you a small present.'

Puzzling Orchid Imitations. Orebid Imitations are a puzzle to tower scholars. The whole appear ance of the dower Is suggestive of some insect. sometimes to quite a ne markable degree. It does not seem easy to and any real purpose that could be served by this resemblance, yet no one Imagines that it can be accidental. Any one who knew of the bee orchid, a native of Europe, and came upon it for the first time would at occe recognie It. It seems to be a large. 'elvety brown bact- Lsee variegated with yellow. The two pet als might serve well for the wings of the Insect. In the center of the lip of the ey orchid there is a small bluish spot like the body of a Ay. The two lateral petals are slender and curiously lIke the antennae of an Insect.

The principle districts in the Yang te valley In China in which the man ufacture et joss paper is carried on. Soashing. NIngpo. Hiangtschau and Futschau, lie to the south of Shangha. Young bamboo trunks are jadaced in ditches In layers with a covering of lime between them. The ditches are sometimes as large as thirty feet wide and ninety feet long. Water is poured over the mass and the contents allowed to remain until the trunks have rot ted. which sometimes takes as long as three months. After the limewater has been drawn off the mass is placed in a ditch ;pro vided with stirrers. where it is washed. The reduction to ibers takes pInce in mills drawn by buffaloes. After a sec ond washing the material Is ready for the mold of the papermaker. In Chia as well as in Japan the mold conshts of fine bamboo sticks. For this reason the paper is always ribbed. The product is squeezed in we'ige presses. dried on a board and then cov ered with tin. The pulve-rized metal is strewn over the sheets and hammered between the fibers with hammers of soft wood. The chief difDculty lies In this hammering, and in spite of the thinness of the paper the Chinese at tain a shining surface of tin. The pa per Is packed In bales of 3.000 or 3.200 sheets. QUEER JAPANESE FISH. One That Uses Its Fin as a Sail-How the Dorado Is Caught. One of the most Interesting of ssh of Japanese waters Is the oriental sail fish (Histiophorus ortentalis). The generic name, given by Dr. Guenther. means the sail bearer and refers to the huge dorsal fln possessed by the species. The un stands higher than the body above It and is used as a sail before the wind. It Is a large fish, ten feet in length and weighing 100 pounds. They swim about usually in pairs in rough and windy weather, with the hu;e fins above the water. It Is a favorite food fsh, and the an nual catch Is nearly 2.000.000 pounds. The sail fish is caught by means of a' harpoon. Another food fsh, known as a dol phin or dorado. is sometimes caught in a curious way. The fishes congregate under a decoy bush and raft made of bamboos and are then caught by books bated with squids. or the decoy bush Is surrounded by a seine net, and the dolphins are driven by beating the sur face of the water with sticks. This fish Is eaten both fresh and salt and is as great a favorite In western Japan as the salmon Is in the northeast.-Zonlo gIst _ _ Scotch Sabbath.

TRANSPLANTED A POND. Showing What an Enthusiast Will Do to Have a Garden. Many a c.untry laborer will do much for the sake of a garden. but few per haps would be willingt to go to such pains in the pursuit of their hobby as did an enthusiastic navvy with whom Dean Hole once came In contact. This man, having obtained the posi tion of gatekeeper on a railway. found himself the possessor of a barren grav el pit as nn apology for a garden. The dean, who knew the spot well, visited it some twelve months after the man had taken possession. and the sight which met his eyes astonished him. "Was it a mirage I saw upon the sandy desert? There were vegetables. fruit, bushes and fruit trees, all In rigorous health. There were flowers and the queen dower in her glory." '"Why.' I exclaimed. 'what have you done to the gravel pit? - -Lor' bless yer.' he replied. grin ning. '1 hadn't been here a fortnight afore I swopped it for a pond."' A further Inquiry elicited the fact that this most ardent garden lover had, after an agreement with a neigh boring farmer. removed with pick and barrow his sandy stratum to the depth of about three feet and wheeled it to the margin of an old pond. which had been gradually filled up with leaves and silt. The rich. productive mold from the ->ond he had taken home to his garden, replacing it with gravel and leveling as per contract.-West minster Gazette. Antiquity of Nicknames The origin of the word as well as the exact date of appearance of the custom of "-nicknamiing" is unknown Bch names are as old at least as the most venerable chronicles, for upon diving into ancient history we have no trouble at all in proving that Plato was called the "Attic Bee" and Socra tes "-Old Flat Nose."

One of the Essential Conditions of Nervous Balance. Now, then, can the nervous sufferer hell) himself? To begin with. he should ask himself: "What is tbere in my physical life which may account for my nervous weakness? Is my diet suflicient in quantity and nutritious in quality? Do I get enough sleep? Is my work congenial? Is my environ ment in any degree suited to my tastes and aptitude?" These are simple ques tions, and yet upon their answer often depends the possibility of nervous health or nervous disease. If the sut ferer discovers that any of the phys ical causes of a nervous breakdown are in operation it is obvious that It is his first duty to fight against these causes, to lessen them and if possible to remove them altogether. In the next place-and this is especially to be noted by nervous women-one of the essential conditions of nervous bal ance is the control of the emotions. Ttee tendency on the slightest provoca tion to give way to a paroxysm of tears is dangerous, because it lends to weakness. bxily and menta!. No doubt there are moments of poignant agony when tears are nature's benefi-. cial provision for some relief to an overstrained nervous and mientil or ganism. but these moments come at rare intervals in our lives. and. as a rule, so far from weakening our men tal or moral life, they uplift and purify it. What nervous people must he warned against is the tendency to let themselves go because of some petty worry or some slight domestic differ ence or through some morbid impulse to self pity.-Rev. S. S. McComb in Harper's Bazar. DUTCH SPORTS. Holland the Land of Sleighing, Sledg ing and Skating. Probably no other boys and girls had better times than the Dutch boys and girls in old and new Netherland. H1ol land. says W. E. Griffis in his book. "The Story of New Netherland." is the land of skates and sleighs. Children and young people hardly learn to skate- they begin it naturally and keep It up all their lives. Wbether for fun or in parties or to go to the market, to church. to weddings or funerals, they move by rapid transit on steel. A pair of skates Is a passport to comrade ship. Every habit and each trick known on Holland canals or ponds was repro duced on the Mohawk and Hudson. There was the iceboat or sailboat on runners, sometimes reduced for swIft ness to a long plank with crosspieces for seats and with skate irons. Equip ped with mast, canvas and some tour-! age, it seemed to race with the wind Itself. As for coasting. wherever fdat Hol land could show a hill or blope or, Friesland furnished a torp or artificial mound there were the boys and girls at fun. On the lee lady or lass sat in a hand sleigh. while husband or swain pushed as he skated. All this shows the reason why New burg-on-the-Hudson and Albany and the hills of Dorp are so famous for coasting and the North river for ice yachts and why from the first genera tion of settlers the Dutch-American towns were noted for sledding, sleigh ing and skating A Fishing Story. Angling has some very marvelous "incidents" among its many records. Hampshire has its true tale of a duck which became entangled in a trout line and, breaking off the gut, trailed the fly behind her and actually hooked a fair sized fish. '.-ne struggle be tween the two must have been as ex traordinary as that of, the Dumfries~ gander which became similarly at tached to a line and hook baited with, dead frog. In this case a voracious pike was hooked, and a veritable tug of war en sued. in which -he astonished bird performed sundry somersaults on thc surface of the water until victory at last rewarded the feathered angler, which towed to shore one of the largest fish ever caught in that par ticular loch. And that the tale is true makes it all the more interesting London Black and White. Girls With Boys' Names.

It is only within the memory of liv Ing man that legislation bas under taken to protect domestic animals from the cruelty of their owners. Owner ship was held to be absolute by most, but thiere was one man in England a hundred years ago who could demon strate the untenable nature of this theory. This man was Thomas Er skine. one of the greatest lawyers and advocates of his age. A tradition sur vives at Hampstead. the resldence of Lord Erskine. which Charles G iar per has put Into his book. -'Rura! Nooks Round London." and which shows how this legal authority would have administered more recent laws. 't Is related that the celebrated .or! Erskine. walking one day on Iamnip stead heath. saw a rutlianly driver shamefully thrashina a miserally Ill cared for horse.
