GOOD PUZZLE TO WORK OUT Occupation In Enforced Idleness la Good Teat 6f One's Knowledge of the Bible. Evidently the matter of occupation when one Is confined Indoors is a problem to the Swiss as well as to other people. The Bonne Revue comes forward with an answer to the ques tion: "What are we to do Indoors?" Instead of bemoaning the Inclement weather It says people should solve the following problem: Divide the number of Job's camels before they were captured by the Chaldeans fry the number of men sent to take Jeremiah out of the dungeon; add to the quotient the number of lords entertained at Balthazar's feast. Subtract from the sum the number of Just persons who cduld have saved Sodom. Multiply by David's age when he commenced to reign. Divide by the number of Philistines that Samson slew with the ass's jawbone. Sub tract the number of Solomon's songs; multiply -by the number of days dur ing which Job did not speak to his frlendB. Subtract the number of fish taken in the miracle of Jesus fishing. Add to the result the number of prophets hidden by Abdlas. Subtract the number of ungrateful lepers healed by Jesus, and you will have a mys terious figure contained in the Apo* calypse. Logic cf Phoclon. Why tell me that a man is a fine speaker if it is not the truth that he is Bpeaking? Phoclon, who did not speak at all, was a great deal nearer hitting the mark than Demosthenes. He used to tell the AthenlansT-"You can't fight Philip. You have not the slightest chance with him. He is a man who holds his tongue; he has great disciplined armies; he can brag anybody you like in your cities her; and he is going on steadily with an unvarying aim toward his object; and he will infallibly beat any kind of men such a* you, going on raging from ahore to shore with all that rampant nonsense." Demosthenea said to him one day ? "The Athenians will get mad some day and kill you." Yea, Phoclon said, "When they are mad; and you as soon as they get sane again." ? Thomas Carlyle. Original Confidence Man. A story Is told of old New York and of how the expression "confidence man" meant a man In whom one could not place confidence at all. It Is said -that some years ago a very well dressed man with a courteous ad dress was wont to walk up and down the principal streets of the city. Whenever he met a stranger who looked hopeful to him he would ap proach the man and with the most delightfully frank manner he would ask; "My dear sir. have you confidence enough in me, an entire stranger to you, to lend me $5 for an hour or two?" And it is said that the man made an extremely good living by this Ttry simple meanB.' Salaries of Nsval Officers. The pay of commissioned officers In the navy varies with Tank and length of service, and there are numerous other factors which must be taken in to account.* The amount received in individual cases may be worked out by a ptudy of the regulations cdfc talned in th* Navy Register, whtcjh is obtainable In any well-equipped public Mbrnry.

During the paat year, the drifting maaaeB have done tho greatest damage within living memory. One largo agri cultural colony in the Don region haa had to emigrate In a westward direc tion for the fourth time in fifty yeftl*. General Mistchenko urgently advo cates afforestation as the only way to atem tho spread of the aand plague. The cost, it is figured, would only amount to a fraction of the $7 50,000 which Is now lost every year to Rua alan agriculture.? New York Sun. BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN 8cotch Collies Reverted to Wild State When Imported Into Patagonia and Argentina. Some years ago the shepherds of Patagonia and 4rKen^na imported a large number of Scotch collies into those countries to help herd the sheep. But imagination seemed to spoil the companionable, affectionate and intel ligent dog from the Highlands. In two or three years hts entire - nature changed and he became Independent, snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad treatment' may have had something to do with It, but by twos and threes the collies rapidly deserted the flocks and took to the woods, where they "soon became wild dogs. ~ They have Increased so fast and become so fierce In both countries that not only do they carry off small animals and fowls, but have grown so bold that they do noj. hesitate to attaok travelers even In broad day light. They travel In packs, and when hunted scatter to hiding places in the- rocks. The Patagonian and Ar gentine governments have offered bounties for every wild dog's bruBh, and wlille the war of extermination may deplete both national treasuries the only effect it has had on the col lies has been to make them keep to cover during the diy; Every shep herd goes afmed and keeps a constant lookout, but shooting has not de creased their numbers, and poison has been tried without success, as they are too shrewd to eat anything set folr them. Conflict Bismarck Forgot. The smallest of Europe's sovereign state, Liechtenstein, which is pre paring to celebrate the second cen tury of its independence, has a mon arch and a parliament, but no taxes a^d no army, the Westminster Ga zette states. Its finances are provid ed by its Prince John II., who in re turn nominates three of Its fifteen M. P.'s. At the time of the Austro Prussian war the principality sided with Austria and mobilized an army of 100 -of all ranks to share- in the fighting. But Liechtenstein's army never smelt fire and Liechtenstein itself was quite overlooked In the peace negotiations at the end of the war. Fifteen years later Bismarck discovered that his country was still technically at war with this miniature state, and In strict accordance with the etiquette of such things pourpar lers took place and a formal treaty of peace w&s signed between the two countries. Cosmopolitan London. A man with nothing useful to do j took a walk on Aldwych and Kings- - way the other day and counted noses. ] As a result he writes to a newspaper exploiting the "cosmopolitanism of j London. He says that in 15 minutes he en countered: One Arab In flowing burn ous and white turban, two Turks in frock coats, and tar touches, seven ob- ; vlous Americans and probably more i who were not obvious, a couple of j Danes wearing Alexandra Day roses j and talking volubly in their native j tongue; a lascar; two Indian students j with gold spectacles; an alert Japa- : neae. ?
