"They ikiw spurred on toward the

working for u dead horn?. because 1

a recent western novel? Hy no means;
quotations from a world classic writ
ton 100 years ago.
In ft recent reading of "Don Quix
ote" 1 have been struck by the fact
(bat It Ib a vast storehouse of what
we fondly believe to be American
Slang, And this lij not by any twist
ing $ the sense: the tortus are used
strictly In their modern significance.
It Is true that 1 do not read the book
In ItH original tongue, but the trans
lation Is that of Peter Anthony Mot
teaux, and was made more than ilOO
years ago, so that It has a fair de
cree of antiquity. This Huguenot
merchant, who settled In London, after
the revocation of the Kdlct of Nantes,
picked tip a remarkable knowledge of
homely. Idiomatic English, and bis
language Is always racy of the soil.
"Take it frqm me, you will, lose
your labor," says the Knlghv of the
Sorrowful (not Rueful or Woeful In
Motteaux) Countenace to Donna Rod
riguez, and this Is one of his favorite
phrases. "I had ft mind to cabbage
some of his cloth," confesses the tailor
brought before Sancho as governor of
his Island of Baratarla for Judgment.
When Altlsldora sang her mock sere
nade to the Incorruptible and unyield
ing knight, she declared herself a "vir
gin pullet," a "tender chicken," and
thought tJiat Dulelnen "well nifty brag
of such a kid." "I had not cared a
pin though she had died of the pip."
was Sancho's philosophy, and he. begs
his master not to "die merely of thn
mulllgrubs."
The squire complains that ho had
hecn "rlbroasted by ubove four hun
dred Moors," and admitted, that It was
not for "such Scrubs as myself" to be
mentioned the same day with knights
errant,
Although by his own admission a
mere clown. Sancho savs. "I know
what's what, and have always taken
care of the main chance." lie tells
his master that the latter "had the
wroffR sow by the car;'? bis "belly
cries cupboard;" he is "cocksure : he
believed that the giant in the adven
ture of the wine skins had "gone to
pot," and he reproached the-Judght for
not "going snacks" In his beatings,
'one of the gnlle.v slaves would have
I pone free for 20 ducats "to have
greased the recorder's list." .The don
chides his niece that she should pie
sume to put 1n her oar and censure
the histories of knights-errant
flwMied Wr ThmnftH t-rqu
hai^s partial translation of Rabelais.
The frenchman and the doughty Scot
tish cavalier bad equal knowledge of
Anglo-Saxon colloquialisms, and where
can one find more racy, pungent, down
right English than In these two master
translations?? Frank W. Iloyt in New
York Evening Post.
Flying Fox Australian Pest.
The flying fox has appeared in South
Australia as a new fruit pest. Farm
ers have killed quite a number of
those creatures. A correspondent at
I'ort Wakefield writes: "This morn
ing some crows, while marauding
amongst the brushes near the rifle tar
get. put up a flying fox. Which took a
direct course for the river, about a
mile distant. The crows followed, but
when the fox looped the loop amongst
them they quickly flew in another di
rection. The flying fox appeared to bo
nearly U feet wide across the wings.
It had a fair amount of speed on the
wing and much resembled a bat." The
flying fox. so-called because of its fox
shaped head, lias been previously
found In other parts of Australia and
Is sometimes known as the fruit bat.
An Everlasting Memorial.
Nature has a great part In this last
ing and beautiful memorial, that is to
hi? erected to the local service men in
1 1 1 *? city of Santa Monica. Cal. It Is
to he fl large open air theater, and
will take the conventional Greek form,
with a ranged in concentric tiers, |
the orchestral area in the renter and
pillared 5tajrc at the bottom of the
slop*. As In the conventional thea
ters of ancient Greece, the site and
ha. fcground will be a beautiful wooded i
hillside.
The level area In the center u i!l he
floored with mosaic stone work. This
beautiful tribute to the s<-r\ife men
will, iio doubt, be the pride of the citi
zen* of thia city for many years to
come.

has undergone a remarkable change
of fiihn and structure; then l| drops

pendent life at the bottom J*>f U?e
stream or lake. ,
It Is a further fact tWt the young
of particular kinds of mussels require
the gills of particular kinds' of Ashes
as nurseries. The black bass Is host
for several sorts of mussels, while the
klpjack. a kind of herring. Is. the only
known host for the best of all mussels.
As this last mentioned tlsh Is far
from being abundant In American riv
ers, It is plain that much care should
be exercised In Its maintenance.
The mussel fishery that supplies the
fresh water pearl button Industry Is
actively conducted In at least tw;enty
states In the Mississippi rived basin,
the raw production of shells now has
a value of about $1,000,000. The fresh
water pearl button Is now recognized
as among the cheapest durable but
tons that can be procured. The mus
sel beds have been rapidly depleted,
chletly because the fishermen In past
years would retain only the very best
shells and discard as culls all shells
that were of an Inferior grade.
Necessary action in the way of gov
ernment legislation to protect the
mussel fisheries has been so long de
layed that this unique and rather
important industry is now sure to ex
perience considerable difficulty In pei
petnatlng itself.? Floyd W. Parsons,
in the Saturday Evening Post.
WHERE BOARD IS NOW CHEAP

it Is refreshing In these days of high j
prices to lonrn that somewhere It Is j
possible to get one's daily bread and ,
Its accompaniments at a low figure, j
The place Is China ? Tengschow, tn.the j
proyln.ee of Shanttiug. 1 here, In the j
mission school, a girl may have thiee ;
meals a day for $1S a year.
The menu sounds strange to the ;
school girl of the western world, but !
to the Chinese student it is highly sat- j
Isfactorv. Steamed corn bread and j
raw turnips that, have been kept In j
brine and then chopped quite fi,,p com* !
pose the regulation breakfast almost
nil the year! "For dinner there Is usu^
ally millet cooked dry like rice, and
some hot vegetable. Twice a week the
vegetable Is cooked with fat pork in
stead of in bean oil as usual. Supper
Is the same as breakfast. I'erhaps half
n dozen times a year, however, they
celebrate with more luxurious fare. ?

addresses. First. Is the speech T pre- ,

Second, is the spoe<1i I really make. !
Third. Is the speech I make on the

Ills grandfather looked hlni over

like your mother every day."
"What makes you think so?" asked
Bert.
"Why, because your father had a
