WISDOM OF A WOMAN.
A Mandarin's Wife Who Proved Herself
a Feminine Solomon.
Two women came before a mandarin
in China, each of them protesting
that she was the mother of
a little child they had brought with
them. They were so eager and so
positive that the mandarin was sorely
puzzled, lie retired to consult
with his wife, who was a wise and
clever woman, whose opinion was
held in great repute in the neighborhood.
She requested five minutes in
which to deliberate. At the end of
that time she spoke, "Let the servants
catch me a large fish in the
river and let it be brought here
alive." This was done. "Bring me
now the infant," she said, "but
leave the two women in the outer
chamber." This was done too.
Then the mandarin's wife caused the
baby to be undressed and its clothes
to be put on the fish. "Carry the
creature outside now and throw it
into the river in the eight of the
two women."
The servant obeyed her orders,
flinging the fish into the water,
where it rolled about and struggled,
disgusted no doubt by the wrappings
in which it was swaddled. Without
a moment's pause one of the women
threw herself into the river with a
shriek. She must save her drowning
child. "Without doubt she is
the true mother," the mandarin's
wife declared, and she commanded
that i he woman should be rescued
and tie child given to her. And
tbe mandarin nodded nis Head ana
thought his wife the wisest woman
in the Flowery Kingdom.
Metnwhile the false woman crept
away. She was found out in her
imposture, and the mandarin's wife
forgot all about her in the occupation
of dressing the little baby in
the best silk she could find in her
wardrobe.?London Bystander.

Herr Hager^ a rich and influential
banker, frequently had watche*
picked from his pocket. At first he
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; then one morning he took
no precautions whatever and quietly
allowel himself to be robbed. At
night, on returning from his business,
he took up the evening paper;
he uttered an exclamation of delight.
A watch had exploded in a
man's hands. The victim's hands
were shattered and the left eye destroyed.
The crafty banker had
filled the watch case with dynamite,

A Dead Bird.
Samuel Butler, the witty but eccentric
author of "Erewhon," which
means "Nowhere," and of many
other remarkable and suggestive
books, is now more read than during
his lifetime. He died in 1902. In
one of his notebooks he tells this incident,
which must have amused the
great Charles Darwin:
'Trunk Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the
hippopotamus cage when a little
boy aid girl, aged four and five,
came up. The hippopotamus shut
his eyes for a minute.
" 'That bird's dead,' said the little
girl. 'Come along.'"

The Egyptian cobra is not unlike
its Asiatic relative except in respect
of the absence of the curious spectacle-like
mark which distinguishes
the latter. Although it is the most
poisonous reptile known to inhabit
northern Africa, it is the favorite
among the snake charmers. These
conjurers know how to render this
serpent rigidly unconscious by pressing
the nape of its neck with a finger.
This act appears to throw the
reptile into catalepsy, in which it is
as stiff as an iron rod.

A Good Reason.
One day Mary was found standing
on a chair in front of the mirror,
gazing at her pretty image.
"Why are you looking in the
glass, darling?" asked her mother.
"'Cause I like the look of me,"
was the frank reply. ? Chicago
