T time Calico did the grand entry he felt as though he had been sucked into a whirlpool and was being carried around by some irresistible force. So dazed was he by the music, by the hum of human voices and by the unfamiliar sights that he forgot to rear and kick. He could only prance and snort. He went forward because the rider of the outside horse dragged him along by the bridle rein. Around md around he circled until he lost all gense of direction, and when he was finally shunted out through the dress? in: tent flaps he was so dizzy he could namely stand. One or the piscatorial curiosities of the north Pacific coast, especially plen- tiful along the shores of British Colum- bia. is the fish known to Indians, Whites and half breeds as the “candle fish." To the scientists he is the eulachon fi‘haleichthys pacificus), and is'highly uteemed for two reasons. The fish it self is about fourteen inches long, .re- sembles the smelt in general appears nnces and is caught in large quantities by west coast fishermen during 'the months of February. March and April. It is the fattest of all fishes, for which AI. u ~â€"-. *7 reason large numbers of them are dried and smoked to be used as a warm- ing food during the long rigorous win- ters so common in that region. " ' Large numbers of them are also run through crude presses, which extract the oil. This is preserved in skin bags and used much in the same manner as whale‘s blubber is used by the Eski- mos. This “candle fifish” gets-its ,m- mon name from the fact that 'w _ dried it burns with a bright white flame until entirely consumed. It is much used by the “coasters” both of Columbia and Alaska, either with or without An Ancient Colt. One of Mrs. Grant's favorite stories was of an experience in camp some- where in the Adirondacks. when her husband, then president for the first term. wanted to get away from Wash- ington ofiicialdom. Mrs. Grant was bothered about the washing. A guide recommended a woman who had seen better days, who lived a little way down the lake. Mrs. Grant engaged her. Two days afterward she saw a scene that, as she expressed it, re‘ minded her of "Elaine.” It was her washerwoman paddling in a dugout be- hind a heap of snowy linen. “Less ’n a year ago,” said the woman apologetically, “I wouldn’t had to ’a’ used the boat. I brung it by the colt. But one day he jes’ got colic or some- thin’ and rélled bver'on the grass anfl died. My, how we miss that colt! We 0 had him for t..'enty years.” The Cut and the Doughnuts. This is a true story, says a writer, that my grandmother told me about her cat and dog. She used to find the cover off her doughnut jar, and also no- ticed that her doughnuts disappeared. One day she heard a noise and found that the cat was on the shelf .Where the doughnuts were kept. Then it put its Paw in the jar and drew out a dough- “ and pushed it off the shelf, and the dog, who was looking up at the cat, caught the doughnut in his mouth and ate it. When they found they were caught, they acted very guiltily. Why Frenchmen Are Small. It is said that the under size of the French and their physical shortcom- ings as a nation are due for the most Part to the heavy drain made upon the race by Napoleon. All the ablebodied lien were enrolled in his service, leav- in; none at domestic or business pur- fflts except the extremely youthful or “‘9 aged. From this drainage of the and destruction of the sinew of the race France has not yet recovered. "F‘V" Vl- L’CKJLUU‘CH 9 DJ.“ Phonies among the poor.

The recorder was poking fun at the senator and read from" a newspaper clipping what purported to be a son- tence from a recent speech made by the senator, but which was in reality wholly fictitious, as the senator knew quite well. At its conclusion the laugh was long and hearty at Mr. Evarts’ ex- pense, and ~no one laughed longer or heartier than the senator himself. As soon as the laughter had subsided Mr. Hewitt suddenly leaned across the table and, looking rather sternly' into the smiling face or the recorder, said in a well assumed tone of reproach: “That certainly is a remarkable sen- tence, your honor, but criticism of it does not come well from you it today’s newspapersare to be believed, for they contain a. sentence to! ’much greater length which is attributed to you.” “Whyâ€"why, how is that. Mr. Hew- itt?” inquired the recorder, with con- siderable contusion. “Because,” said Mr. Hewitt, with the utmost gravity and that grim smile which always accompanied his best sayings, “you are there quoted as at: tering a sentence that was to last through the whole life or the prisoner.” Yet the reporter did the very best he could to get at the truth. And published the story as he got it. Then the man who had refused to give the facts arose early and bought a paper to see if the facts :were distorted. They were. And he said: “1.de you so."

A man had a piece of news. A reporter heard of it. The reporter called on the man. And asked him about the news. The man played balloon with the re- porter. . ’ He swelled noticeably and said: “You tellers never get anything right. So I won’t tell you.” The reporter did not get angry. He knew the man was a fool. He had seen him before. Heknew the real facts could be had from no' one else. Animals and Rain. It seems strange that..no animal, un- less it be the squirrel, seems to build it- self a shelter with the express object of keeping off the rain, which they all so much dislike. Monkeys are misera- ble in wet and could easily build shelâ€" ters if they had the sense to do so. “As the matureshop Walnut; 111 the rain,” writes Mr..kiphng in his “Beast and Man In India,” “or crouch on branches, with dripping backs set against the tree trunk as shelter from a driving storm, they have the air of being very sorry for themselves.” But even the orang outang, which builds a small platform in the trees on which to sleep at night, never seems to think of a roof, though the Dyaks say that when it is very wet it covers itselt with the leaves of the pandanus, a. large fernâ€"London Spectator. No Miser- In Burns. When a Burman has earned a little money, he immediately proceeds to spend it all, for the Burmese have no ambition to be rich and never hoard. Consequently there are no large land- owners, and, there being no aristocracy, the people are as near being on an equality as possible. Poor people are quite as rare as rich people, and the only beggars to be met with are the lepers, who sit on the steps of the pago- das. Should a Burman find himself in possession of a large sum of money he builds a pagoda and possibly a kayat, » An Advantage From Foss. In speaking or fogs a medical journal draws some consolation from the fact that even fogs have one compensating advantage which has often been over- looked. “It is,” it says, “reasonable to suppose that a fog effects a partial purification of the atmosphere. «This is borne out by the fact that when a fog subsides the deposits contain the car- bon, sulphur, organic bases and other injurious and irritating particles which formerly existed in a state of suspen- sion in the atmosphere.” ul- .â€"_._, “Don’t go in there, children,” can» tioned the wife of the struggling poet, listening a moment to sounds as of a strong man in distress that came from the other room. “Why not?” they asked. “Your father is trying to find a rhyme for ‘scrofulous.’ ”. __/ nu Costly Conversation.
