It lias often been said that the ca? pacity of the negro race for eudurlng hent lias never been fully tested. Au Incident related by a dairyman ilvlng on the outskirts of the city seems to bear out this assertion. This dairyman has a young negro boy who looks after the cattle and does chores nround the place. The on? ly effect that the heat produces iu his case Is a desire to slumber. The dairy? man had a young calf In the barnyard, and as the sun was pouring in on the poor animal his wife sent "Carllna" out to tum the calf loose, so that he could seek a shady spot. After "wait? ing an hour for his return the house? wife went to the barnyard to Investi? gate. There she found both boy and calf curled up In the hot and stifling barnyard. The calf was dead from tbe effects of the sun, but the boy was slumbering peacefully by its side. While a negro can stand any amount of heat on his head he loves to cool his heels. It Is a common sight in the wlntei to see a negro boy on a frosty morning with his head bundled up to keep out the cold and at the same time walking unconcernedly along the frosty ground in his bare feet. One of the hottest places In the city on a hot day Is at the lumber wharfs of the Florida Central and Peninsular rail? road. When the men knock off for noon, they frequently take a nap with their faces upturned to the rays of the blazing sun. At the same time they get their feet under the shadow of some friendly lumber pile.-Florida Times-Union. They Saee the Point. An American farmer near Guadahv Jara convinced his Mexican neighbors that oxen can do more work under American yokes, so generally used in the republic. The American brought several modern yokes from the United States and used them with success. The curiosity of his Mexican friends was aroused, and they proceeded to ask questions. "Well," said the American, "when you lasso a steer and the lasso gets Around his neck what do you do?" "Turn hltn loose," was the reply. "Why?" "Because he's too strong for us that way." "That's It," answered the American. "His strength is in his neck, not In his horns." . The Mexicans saw the point, and now yokes of United States manufac? ture are generally used in that neigh? borhood.?Modern Mexico. A Tale From the Mroterioos Bast* The last wonderful tale being told among the Burmese In Rangoon is con? cerning a monster egg. A few months ago near Sbwebo the villagers heard a strange and mysterious voice in the jungle uttering in Burmese the words, "I am going to lay," which were re? peated frequently several times a day for many days. Eventually the egg was laid, and its size is said to exceed that of ten large paddy baskets. Nobody will go near this egg. from which now come the words, "I am going to hatch," also repeated many times every day.? Times of Burinah. An Observing Puppy. A rector writes from Iloniton, Eng land, to The Spectator to record an In? stance of a very high order of Intelli? gence in au animal, of a power of rea? soning as distinct from any acquired Instinct: "I have a bullpup, aged 10 months, and a bulldog 4 years old, both of which live In the house and nie great pets. A short time ago my wife was 111, and, though the older dog, owing to his quiet and sedate way, was allowed to enter her room, the puppy was nev? er admitted. The nurse could always tell which dog was at the door, because the older dog gave one single and gen? tle scratch and then remained quiet, while the puppy scratched violently and frequently and whined. The puppy apparently could not understand why she was not admitted, and felt her ex? clusion sorely. "One day she scratched furiously as usual. No notice was taken. Present? ly she was heard going Hop-flop down stairs. Iu a few minutes the single gentle scratch of the old dog was heard, the door was opened, and there were both dogs, and, strange to say, from that time the puppy so Imitated the scratch of the other dog that It was impossible to tell which was at the door. Undoubtedly the puppy went and asked the old dog to show her how he gained admission. How else can one explain the fact?" Llarhtlnar a Cl?nr. According to au observant Philadel phlnn whose business is to sell cignrs, the careless smoker Is largely respon? sible for the big dividends match man? ufacturers enjoy. "Just watch It any time," he remark? ed a few days ugo, "and see if I am not correct. The average smoker of a cigar will talk or think regardless of his weed until it goes out. Then he will suddenly discover the absence of the lire which makes a cigar enjoyable. Out from his pocket comes a match, and In an instant it has been struck and the lighted lucifer placed against the cigar end. "In his eagerness to get another light, however, the smoker has. in niue eases out of ten, forgotten to knock the fishes oi." his weed.

Hunting* ton's private secretary. Mr. Miles, ask? ed for an increase of salary. "Do you need any more money?" asked Mr. Huntington thoughtfully. "No. sir, I don't exactly need it," re? lied Mr. Miles, "but. still. I'd be glad 0 be getting a little more." "Ah?hum-m-m," mused his employ r. "Can you get along without the advance for the present?" "Oh. yes," Answered the secretary, 1 guess so." aud the matter was drop ed. A couple of years later a new boy ap? peared at the Miles borne, and the sec? retary thought the time propitious to enew tbe application. "Why, my dear sir," said Mr. Huntington when be heard him through, "I raised your sal? ary when you asked me before." "I never heard anything about It," said tbe secretary in amazement. "Probably not," returned Mr. Hunt? ington. "In facti I used that money to buy a piece of property for you. I'd ust let it stand for awhile if I were you." Mr. Miles thanked him warmly aud retired somewhat mystified. Shortly after Mr. Huntington called him into his private office. "By the way. Miles," he said, "I have sold that real estate of yours at a pretty good advance. Here is the check." The amount was $.">0,000. The prop? erty was part of a large section pur? chased by the railway king as on in? vestment for hi9 wife.?San Francisco Argouaut. A Live Bird on tier Hat. One Chicago girl's bat made a sensa? tion In the women's lunchroom at the Auditorium yesterday. She came In from Michigan avenue and stopped for a moment In the parlor. While there she noticed a young sparrow flutter in through the open window and wheel once or twice around the room. She felt It brush against her hat in its flight, but thought no more of It and passed on into the lunchroom. She had picked up the* bill of fare and was reading it when she felt that some one was watching her, and, glancing around, she discovered that she was a focusing point for all the eyes In the immediate vlciuity. Of course she blushed and colored up and began to wonder at the cause of the people's interest. Just then the waiter, who had been ho% ering around, noticed her confusion and, bending down, whispered, "Pahdon me, miss, but dab's a live buhd on yo' hat." And then instead of going into hys? terics she calmly said: "Thank you. Will you please shoo it off?" And the waiter "shooed" the sparrow toward a nearby window, while the owner of the hat fixed It on straight and proceeded to order her luncheon. ?Chicago News. Good He Didn't Accept. During the second Dreyfus court martial, M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire, ex-president of the civil section of the cour de cassation, who was bitter against the accused captain, received a very polite letter dated from the Chateau de Prefargier, near Neu chatel, in Switzerland, and signed, "A de Prefargier," praising him for his efforts in the Dreyfus case and in? viting him to come and stay at the writer's residence. M. de Beaurepaire replied In his usual flowery style, saying he would continue the struggle as loug as be had strength, and that he would rem:: In at the breach like a valiant soldier to set an example of duty to God and the fatherland, even should he stand alone. He did not positively decline the Invi? tation, holding out hopes that some day he might be free to accept it. The Chateau de Prefargier is the lunatic asylum for Neuchatel.?St. Paul's Budget.
