capes with a laugh for every minute
ILLUSTRATED BY BERNEKER
Hunting tho Marlbou
Hunting the marabou is attended
with great difficult as the bird pos
sesses wonderful cunning and often
contrives to outwit tho most skillful
hunter With laughable dignity it
measures the ground between Itself
and its pursuer and takes very good
care not to exhaust Itself by too rapid
flight If the hunter moves slowly the
bird at once adopts an equally casj
pace but if the hunter quickens his
steps the bird is off like an arrow It
Is very difficult to get within gun
range of this calculating creature but
the natives adopt a novel means of
capturing it which the bird with all
its astuteness is unable to compre
hend and falls an easy victim A
tonintinc morsel of meat is tied to the
end of a long stout cord which the
skillful hunter flings to a great dis
tance as he would a lasso the bait
falling as near the fleeing bird as he
can aim it He then conceals himself
hastily behind a bush or crouches low
on the sand The marabou which al
ways keeps its eye on the hunter see
ing him vanish quietly stops and de
vours the bait when It is easily se
cured by the hunter who runs toward
it coiling the rope as he goes
Carlyles Recipe Fop Shirts
Here is an extract from a letter of
Thomas Carlyle in which he asks his
sister to make him some shirts and
sends the measurements How many
women could make a shirt after them
My Dear Jenny In the mean
while I want you to make me some
flannel things too three flannel shirts
especially You can get the flannel
from Alick if lie has any that he can
well recommend You can readily have
them made before the other shirts go
off I have taken the measure today
and now send you the dimensions to
gether with a measuring strap which I
bought some weeks ago at one penny
for the purpose You are to be care
ful to scour the flannel first after
which process the dimensions are
these Width when the slilrt is laui
on its back 22 inches extent from
wrist button to wrist button Gl inches
length in the back 35 inches length in
the front 25Vj inches Do you under
stand all that I dare say you will
make it out and this measuring band
will enable you to be exact enough

The Bullfight
We went to a bullfight and wished
we had stayed away It is quite as
unpleasant as people say and the
cruelty to the horses turns one sick
If it was merely an affair between the
men who are undoubtedly very skill
ful and the bull which is probably so
mad with rage as to be past feeling
much pain one could shrug ones shou
ders at the queer game and find som
excuse but for the torture of tho
poor old blindfolded screws there co
be no shadow of palliation After three
bulls had been killed we had seen
more than enough especially as the
horses In the third encounter had al
ready been badly gored in the second
and the third bull was not killed neat
ly but ran about bellowing for awhile
with the espadas sword sticking out
of his shoulders Blackwoods Maga

Forest of Natural Columns
There is in Bulgaria a group of nat
ural columns much like the Glints
Causeway in Ireland On the ede of
a plateau in the open country rises this
forest of natural columns which gives
the impression of an antique ruin The
columns which are about fifteen to
twenty feet high are absolutely cylin
drical and they are often as much as
three feet thick The stratification of
the rock resembles joints and vertical
erosion due to rain has formed Doric
flutings

A Bark For Barkor
The editor sat in hi easy chair Edi
tors always have easy chairs In Ac
tion He thought he recognized tho
handwriting on ono of the envelopes
He sighed
Another poem said he reaching
for the waste paper basket He open
ed the letter He was agreeably dis
appointed It was prose It ran as
follows
A mannamed Barker had a dog
that barked so he called it Barker be
cause it barked and because his own
name was Barker So the man was
Barker and the dog that barked was
Barker The man didnt bark al
though his name was Barker Barker
and Barker went for a walk and
Barker burked that is dog Barker
not man Barker In fact dog Barker
barked so much that man Barker said
Barker dont bark so often You nev
er hear me bark Just theu man
Barker barked his shin on the bark of
a tree and barked like anything
The editor paused There was a note
inclosed which ran Please send check
for Inclosed to me at 1001 Barker ave

machiua write with a smile I have
received your joke and will send check

Legend of St Winifred Well
A romantic legend hangs around St
Winifred well Cradocus a neighbor
ing prince smitten with the beauty of
a Holywell damsel and roused to anger
by her coyness struck off her head as
she fled from his unwelcbme attentions
The head rolling down the hill rested
near the church and from the spot the
present copious spring gushed forth
as the earth opened to swallow up the
assassin St Beuno who was passing
picked up the head and with a skill
which is now lost to the medical pro
fession restored the maiden with only
ji slender white line on her neck as evi
dence of the miracle But not only did
the well spring from the spot where
the head rested but the moss on its
brink was supposed to be possessed of
a particularly fragrant smell while the
blood marks on the stones assumed
many beautiful tints on June 22 the
anniversary of the event Today the
well is contained in a rectangular
building and the water flows into a
large basin In the shape of an eight
pointed star London Chronicle
Handling Live Wires
Never handle an electric wire lest it
be alive with the naked hand but
use a nonconducting substance as a
protector Any good nonconducting
substance will supply protection
Rubber In form of gas stove tube
or water hose could be thrown over a
wire to pull it from its connection with
a live wire
Porcelain In form of a bit of com
mon crockery or a floor tile hand plate
for door a stone ink bottle
Glass A stout bottle a glass rod or
a pane of glass could be used to dis
lodge a wire from Its connection with
a trolley wire or other current feeder
Wool A woolen scarf stocking coat
or wrap
Cotton Any piece of cotton garment
or stout cotton twine
Silk Scarf or other garment
Any of these materials in goodly
thickness could be used to protect the
hand in removing a live wire or even
using an instrument to cut it through
Spains Canny Railroads
In Spain the railroads do not lose a
chance to make a little profit even In
the case of the nontravelers When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege rhe
railroads all sell billetes de anden
which are good for the platform only
These cost generally 5 centimos equiv
alent to a cent In American money
Just why this is done it is hard to see
because persons entering a train can-
not very well avoid the conductor wno
is always making trips to inspect the
carriages If a person attempted to
steal a ride in a carriage he would
have small chance of getting away
with it If caught he would have to
pay a penalty of just twice the fare
between the point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets
last were inspected New York Sun
He Had No Choice
The wife of a dynamo tender went
to a haberdashers to buy a necktie for
her husband She selected a brilliant
red one ready made whereupon the
young and inexperienced salesman
with compassion for the future owner
was moved to remark
Excuse me missus is this tie for
your husband
It is replied the woman
Dont you think hed rather have
some other color Im afraid he wont
wear this red tie
Oh yes he will said the woman
firmly Hell have to hes dead
