When Mr. Tliden In 1874 was nominated for governor of New York, Mr. Dorshelmer received the nomination for lieutenant governor. The ticket thus headed was elected by about 50,000 majority. A little knot of Germans In New York city who usually voted the Republican ticket took Mr. Dorshelmer from his name to be a German, and they scratched their ticket In hla favor, so that he had n majority of nearly 53,000. One day after Mr. Tliden and Mr. Dorshelmer had been Inaugurated they met at a political breakfast at the for unr b noose in uremercy park. Mr. Tllden had always felt a little eore^t Mr. Dorshelmer's extra majority, and so when In the current of conversation llr. Dorahetmer jestingly said, "Weil, governor, you must remember I had 8,000 more majority than you,** as Quick as a flash Mr. Tildcn retorted, "Yea, you supplied the 3,000, and I lent you the fifty."

Across the room was another brief, "God Bless Otfr Home!" Now, what's the matter with "God Bless Onr Dad?" Ho gets up early, lights the flre, bolls an egg, grabs his dinner pall and wipes off the dew of the dawn with his boots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly Handout for the butcher, the grocer, the milkman and baker, and , bla little pile la badly worn before he has been home an hour. He stands off the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up. If there Is a noise during the night, dad Is kicked In the back and made to go downstairs to find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, but dad bought the socks In the first place and the needles and the yarn afterward. Mother does up the fruit; well, dad bought It all, and jars and sugar cost like the mischief. Dad buys chickens for the Sunday dinner, carres them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after every one else is served. "What is home without a mother?" Yes, that Is all right, but what Is home without a father? Ten chances to one It is a boarding house, father Is under a slab and the landlady Is a widow. Dad, here's to you!

The beaver Is really a sort of portable pulp mill, grinding up almost any kind of wood that comes his way, says 4. writer. I once measured a whtto birch tree twenty-two Inches through rat down br benvor. A single bearer genenilrjr, if not always, amputates the tree, and when It comes down the whole family fall to and have a regular frolic with the bark and branches. A big bearer will bring down a fair slsed sapling?say three Inches through ?In about two minutes and a large tree In about an hour. The ability of a bearer to remain under water for a long time la not really so tough a problem as It looks. When the la,ke or pond Is frozen over, a bearer will corns to the nnder surface of the Ice and expel bis breath so that it will form a wide, flat babble. The air, coming In contact with the Ice and water, la purlfled, and the bearer breathes It again. This operation he can repeat several times. The otter and muskrat do the same thing. sUlsHMkM Seldom Attack. Of rattlesnakes there are at least a dozen, probably fifteen, different kinds, all Inhabitants of America exclusively, where they range from the northern United States down to Patagonia. The common, or banded, rattlesnake extends from Maine to Texas. Once geikerally abundant. It la happily now tare animal nave In the more thinly Inhabited districts of the southern and western states. It may attain a length of five feet, with a large triangular and flattened head. It feeds on rabbits, rats and squirrels and is for the most part a slow and sluggish animal, waiting quietly till some prey approaches it. This sluggishness makes It the more dangerous, as It may be stepped upon unawares, with a most fatal result. But it never either atacks spontaneously or pursues a retreating ene jah irMH HViri|CllIVri An Irishwoman was looking at refrigerators In a honse furnishing store some weeks ago. After examining Into the merits and qualities of a number of them she purchased the one that the salesman assured her would keep food the best. Some days afterward the woman called and requested them to take that refrigerator back, as it would not keep anything better than the kitchen safe of the cellar. The salesman mildly suggested that possibly she had not put enough Ice In It to keep the things cold. "Enough Ice In It? Why, are yon crasy, mon? I don't put any Ice In It. Anything will keep cold If you put Ice In It 1 bought the refrigerator so that I wouldn't need the Ice." ?Philadelphia Ledger. Wagatr'a lierre.

Tfct Rmioi Thff Were Uirod?ec< UnrlBB (he Middle Age*. From the days when our ancestors took their food In their hands and ate It with as little ceremony as a dog gnaws a bone to the present time of elaborate dinners is a long step, bat a gradual one. It was a number of centuries before dishes of any kind were used, and knives and forks as adjuncts to eating are later still. The fear of poison which haunted the mind of every person of quality during the middle ages gave rise to certain curious customs and even to certain superstitions. When dishes are now served covered, It is understood that It Is merely for the purpose of keeping them warm. This was not, however, the principal reason why they were not served covered during the dark ages. It was the fear that poison might be Introduced Into them surreptitiously between the kitchen and the table where they were to be served to the kings or the lords or even to persons of inferior rank. The covers were not removed till the master of the house had taken his place. All dishes afterward served were brought on the table in the same manner. It was the custom originally when the dishes were uncovered for some of the servants to flrst partake of them, but this custom was afterward In part replaced by the servants touching the food with one of several objects which were regarded as Infallible preservatives agalust poison. Barry tke PerasMlre. It was said of Barry, the player, that he had a voice which might lure a bird from a tree and at the samo time an address and manner the most prepossessing and conciliating.
