i TOOK "GINGER" OUT Of HORSE
?allor, Being Indifferent Rider, Sought

ouetomed To.
vi-a.tMtt >U horseback is like the
proverbial tlsh out of water. John
Burman Carden, who wan afterward
the commander of the Hrltish ship
Macedonia when she surrendered to
the United States durliiK the War of
1812, was one of a K'oup of Rnglish
naval officers who In 1K02 vlalted
Cairo. There they paid their resuects
to the "Grand Iiashaw" of &}gypt.
"Having gone through the diplomat
ic conference, we prepared to depart.
When we got to the door, we found
three elegantly caparisoned horse*,
' one for Sir Howo I'opham, one for ine,
and one for Captain Collier. After
I Kir Howe was mounted, I got on my
seemdd as doolie as Imagin
ed. As soon a? Captain Collier wai
cm his Arab, and outside the paUtce
gate, a salute of 21 guns begun, and
to my utter dismay (since 1 was not
an expert horseman), my Arab began
to jump sldewaya and right on' end,
and in various ways, at the discharge
of every gun. As I was not used to
thla kind of motion. 1 considered what
was to be done, for surely 1 could not
long keep my seat. It audden/y struck
me that I bad better have recourse to
a large piece of water close to the
palace, fer 1 felt that 1 should have
a better chance on my accustomed el
ement than on the hard stones' by
which the road was bounded. I di
rectly clapped" the ahovela (the Arab
atirrup Iron) into my Arab and went
alap Into the water, and thua kept the
horse above the girths until th# salute
I was finished, when 1 rode out per
fectly quiet. This freak caused very
great amusement to a large aseam
blage of natives and othera who wit
neaaed It."? Youth's Companion.

Dockyard of Solid Rock, .r
The New South Wales government
dockyard on Cockatoo island in Syd
ney harbor is hewn out of solid ropk.
Historically, Cockatoo island . is oC
much interest, as it was the site of a
large prison in the days when British
convicts were deported to , Australia.
The present offices on the fsland are
in the old prison buildings, the stone
walls, barred windows and iron-doofed
cells being still in evidence. . The for
mation of the island was. originally
Quits unsuitable for a dockyard, as
the solid rock rose sheer from the
water to a height of 60 to 70 feet.
By using convict labor, however, the
rock was gradually cut back, first to
permit the building of graying docks
and later to make room for building
slips and shops near the watef level.
The work has been- continued until
at present two-thirds of the total area
of 33 acres has been brought to a
practically uniform level of about 15
feegt above high tide.
First Silk Hat Caused a Riot.
. On Jan. 15, 1797, when John Heth
erington emerged from his London
haberdashery shop in the Strand
wearing a silk hat, he was surrounded
by a mob of spch proportions that
he was arrested and charged ? before
the lord mayor with inciting to. riot.
The constable who arrested him tes
tified that "Hetherington appeared up
on the public highway wearing a tall
structure, which he called a silk hat,
havlnfe a shiny luster and calculated
to frighten timid people. Several wo
men fainted, children screamed, dogs
yelped and a young son of Cordwainer
Thomas was thrown down by the
crowd and broke his right arm." The
defendant pleaded that, as an English
man, he was free to wear tfny' hat he
chose, but, nevertheless, was bound
over in $2,500 to keep the peace.

How Words Reveal History.
.The word "investment" doesn't oc
cur in Dr. Johnson's dictionary of the
latter part of the eighteenth century
-"Prehistoric" was first used In English
in 1851. t
, Such instances as these show how
a study of language may lay bare the
history of a people. Industry and
finance did not develop sufficiently to
make such words aa "insurance."
"commercial" and "discount" neces
sary until the latter part of the eight
eenth century, while the idea of a
world history preceding the day of the
historical records had hardly occurred
uatil the middle of the last century.

pointed to an illustration in the eve

"Now here, for lnatance, la a re
hashed Htory about a bridegroom car
rying a basket, approaching a narrow

bride? I judge nhe must' have been

across %\o stream. This egotistical
male jokesmith haa the bride make
the inane reply : 'But you can't carry
both me and the lunch basket. We
would be too heavy. You oarry me and
I will carry the lunch basket'
"As a matter of fact that foolish
obostnut was first recorded about an
old man with a ba?ket of eggs and a
coramendably humane heart, who, as
he boarded the street car, observed
that the arched necks and cruelly
docked tails of the two decrepit horses
in front, bespoke 4 sadly contrasting
prosperity In their remoto youth. The
aid man's tender heart was touched at
Ihe pitiful sight, and as he tqbk his
seat in the car he gently lifted the
basket of egg^ out the window and
held them there all the way of his
Journey to make the burden lighter for
the poor horses. S<3 you gee. Ima." aha
added with an emphatlo nod of hei4
head, "the men are every bit as foolish
as the women, if not more so."
SETTLED THE JUDGE'S DOUBTS
Naive Statement of Convicted Mur

When Judge Stewart of Vermont
presided at the trial of a negro charged
with murder of another of his race be
admitted afterward to friends that he
had Berlous doubts of the prisoner's
gyilt until he began to pronounce sen
tence.
The negro had pleaded not guilty
and repeatedly, on being questioned,
had asserted with much emphasis, "I
didn't do evidence was not
convincing, and the judge was sur
prised whjm , rAWttgbtr in \ ***?!' "?
Tff&ff ofc ' guilty. His double vanished,
when, after reminding the negro that
he had been tried by a jury of 12 men,
etc., he 3aid: "It is my duty to warn
you that your days on earth are num
bered, and it behooves you to avail
yourself of the little remnant of time
allotted to you to make peace with
God."
..Just there the negro broke In with
the exclamation, "Ah done dat already,
Jedge, befo' Ah wont out ter kill dat
niggah!"
Many Old People In Berlin.
According to statistics Just pub
lished Berlin appears to bo an extraor
dinarily healthful place for the aged,
who live there in remarkably largo
numbers. A feature of the figures is
the much greater number of old wom
en in proportion to old men, and with
every decade above seventy the prb
portion increaees astonishingly. In
Berlin the number of men between .J
seventy and eighty is 12,898, while
the number of women is 26,204. For
Greater Berlin the figures are 20,049
and 37,620 respectively. Of persons
between eighty and ninety women are
in an enormous majority. For Berlin '
the figures are 2,036 men and 6,371
women and for Greater Berlin b,169
men and 7,810 women. Berlin has a
large number of nonagendrians, and of.
these three out of every four are wom
en. ' In Greater Berlin there are 364
women who have passed their nlnetl
eth birthday, but only 111 men.
Moving Picture Animals.
A Jungle of several acres, inhabited
by wild animals of all countries, many
Oi which are already well trained for
the parts they are to play as motion
picture actors, is maintained near Los
Angeles by one of the big American
film-producing companies. It is in
tended to extend the acreage and ac
commoaatlons until the motion picture
jungle will form the largest single col-;
lection of wild animals in the world,
and within it will be, and now are,
enacted many stirring scenes A big
elephant named "Toddles" Is, for in
stance, the star performer in a film
catalogued as "Lost in the Jungle," in
which Toddles, during his wanderings
in the forest, finds the heroine ..-lying
exhausted on the ground, and, kneel
ing, lifts her to his back and gallantly
carries her to safety. All the animals
are as conscientiously trained to do
acts for the motion picture camera as
are the trained animals of a circus.
Unpretentious Royal Abode.
King Charles of Roumania has seen
many changes, largely effected by hlm
Belf, In his Balkan kingdom since he
arrived there In 1866 after an adven
turous Journey in disguise from Ger
many. Notable among them are the
changes in his capital and in his own
palace. When he mado his triumphal
entry ae the country's new prtnee the
carriage reached a house before which
a Kuard of honor was stationed. "What
house is that?" he asked. "That is
the palace." replied General Goleskl.
The prince, thinking he had misunder
stood him, said: "Where is the pal
ace?" And the general was so etnbar
raised that he could only point silent
ly to the one-storied building. The
principal feature of the view from the
windows on on? side wad' a gypsy en
campment, with swine wallowing In
