It is only fair fo add, however, that the program for 1913 aimed at by the: Royal Flying Corps is a most ambi, tious one, and it is highly probable that a vote of £1,000,000 fos aeronau- tics will be made this year. It is intended to form a fleet of armed and unarmed flying machines, 500 for the navy and 300 for the army; to build monster aeroplanes, each capable of carrying thirty or forty men, and of remaining in the air for at least thir- ty-six consecutive hours; while the construction of large rigid and non. rigid airships is to be pushed forward ~as rapidly as possible. It is, however, hoped that £1,000,000 will be devoted by the country each year for the next three years for the establishment of a British aerial fleet, which will enable us to maintain our supremacy in the air.

STORIES OF SHERWAN. The Groat Writer Had a Hard Time Dodging His Creditors. Like many a brilliant 'man before and since his time. Richard Brinsley Sheridan bad a babit of resting ou his oars a bit too long when he thought himself tired. Then, finding himself short of money, he would borrow. This habit iucreased with his years, and, moreover, his efforts to discharge his obligations , grew less and less. His reputation at last was such that trades- men demanded cash op delivery. Benjamin Robert Haydon, who was himself woefully addicted to the same bade habit, thlls with evident glee two stofles of his fellow sufferer. KX Baitcher one day brought a leg of mut to Shewidan's house.

NEATNESS IN ATTIRE. It Not Only impresses Others, but Is a Factor In Self Respect. The fixed habit of presenting always a neat and cleanly appearance to the world is sure of a 'double reward. It not only creates a faverable impres- sion, but begets a sustaining self re spect. It is scarcely reasonable of a man who does not respect himself to Jook for much consideration' from others. It is not the cost of clothing, but 'the scrupulous care of it that <ounts. The man of slender means should be neither "toppy" nor "sloppy," but always tidy and neat in his attire, seeing himself with the coldly critical eye of a possible employer to whom an applicant's dress may mean much more than his 'address or politest de- portment. Style in writing, as defined by the fastidious' Chesterfield, is the dress of thoughts, so the true style of thé aver- age man may be correctly surmised from the care he takes of his personal appearance. He needs not be finicky, but should always be free of grease spots and dust. He should like his bath even if it has to be taken by means of a bucket. . He should never neglect to brush his hair, his shoes, his teeth, his coat, trousers and hat. If he can't afford a pressing iron he should put coat and trousers under the mattress and sleep upon them.

A One Time Literary Mystery. In the Newry Telegraph, an Ulster (Ireland) triweekly, on April 19, 1817, under the simple head of "Poetry" ap- peared what Byron called "the most perfect ode in the language"--"The Burial of Sir John Moore" Byron or Campbell or any of 'the others to whom this poem was variously ascribed would doubtless have been proud to claim it. But the author was the obscure curate of 'Ballyclog: 'in Tyrone, Rev. Charles Wolfe, and the fame of the plece was but a posthumous fame for him. Not until his death of consumption in 1823 at the early age of thirty-two did the authorship become known to the world. And Wolfe, who wrote much other verse of merit, is remembered only by that one poem which sprang from the s -------------- 47 The Perverse Sex. 41 thought you had such a good maid fi, § g Fol £ i Fe it "THE ART OF POISONING. Subtle Methods Used by the Natives of Central Africa. ' The Central African native is a mas ter in the art of poisoning and always on the watch for it He will never of.a dish, even when offered by a has eaten or drunk some of it to pledge its harmlessness. He is always In fear of treachery, and with good rea- son, for an assassin is cheaply hired. Vegetable poisons may be made by al most any one, and the methods of ad- ministering them are cunning beyond description. One of the cleverest ways, often re- sorted to when a man gets into his head an idea that a neighbor is Injur ing him by witchery, is to kill the un- suspecting victim by means of polson- ed stakes and at the same time avoid suspicion, which would Inevitably lead to a similar vengednce. Procuring little sharpened sticks, the murderer hollows their points and io serts poison (usually made by boillog down the juice of certain shrubs or créepers) iuto the cavities. These he secretly plants upright, but leaning a little along the path which leads from the doomed negro's but to his garden. Sootier or later the intended victim slightly Jacerates his bare foot by hit: ting one of these sharp stakés. He takes no notice of the scratch, for he 1s used to such trifling injuries, but in a few moments his foot and leg begin to swell, and an hour or so later he expires in agony. The bark and roots of several trees and shrubs yield virulent poisons when properly brewed, oue of whicli has the peculiar effect of at once paralyzing the organs of speech, The gall of the crocodile when dried in the sun and pulverized is also very deadly. The most fatal poison, bowever, is that prepared from an ugly, whitish tree called ujungu in German East Afric It grows in only a few localities, and down, for & mere prick with a splinter will' cause terrible and sometimes fa- td] inflammation. The negroes say that neither moths nor snakes will go near it and that birds never rest in ita branches. To make this poison the wood is burnt and its ashes are mixed with water and then boiled down to a thick paste. THe natives will travel. hun. dreds of miles to procure this paste, with' which hunters anoint their ar rows and spears and the bullets of thelr guns, dipping them after the smearing in hot beeswax to form a protective covering against loss of power as well as against accident-- Harper's Weekly. Scattering Disease. Dr. Leonard Hill of London holds that it is an "offense against society for any one with a cold to cough, sneeze of even talk without covering his miouth with his handkerchief. Colds kill tens of thousands every year," the doctor adds, "and yet we persist in tak- ing no special precautions to escape them. We go to great trouble to pre- vent the spread of diphtheria or scarlet fever or smallpox, but the person with a cold, who is scattering deadly mi crobes everywhere, we tredt as perfect: Iy barmless. I thoroughly agree that during the sneezing, coughing stage the person with a cold should be isolated, 80 that the germs he is constantly scat tering may not be breathed in by his neighbors."--New York Tribune A Pet Dog Cemetery. Dead dogs fare better than many men in one town in England, where there is an exclusive cemetery for rich women's pets.

"LOST IN THE LAST LAP. He Queered Things Just as the Win- ning Post Was In Sight. There lived in Detroit a man who was the champion letter writer to the newspapers and to thie heads of all public enterprises. One of his fads was to write every day to President Ledyard of the Michigan Central rail- road and tell Ledyard wherein he was failing in the conduct of his road. There was a letter for Ledyard every morning. They annoyed him, and he sent for his general counsel one day and said: "Russell, I'm getting tired of these letters. I will give you $3,000 more a year If you will find that man and stop him for twelve months." " Three thousand dollars more a year appealed to Russell, and he went out to find the letter writer, He found him and made a business proposition. "Now, see here," he said, "I want you to stop writing letters to Mr. Ledyard. If you will quit for a year I will give you $1,500." The letter writer consented gladly. Things went along swimminogly for eleven months, Ledyard was happy, and Russell was happy. Then there was a wreck on the road. The letter writer could not resist the opportunity, and he wrote to Ledyard and told him what he thought about the road and its president and its management. Ledyard sent the letter to Russell with this indorsement: "This is where you lose $3,000." And it was--Satur- day Evening Post. \ Twe Reasons For Not Reporting. ~ General Nelson A.
