Straw is put to strange uses in Japan. Most of the,horses are shod with straw. .Even the clumsiest of cart horses. wear straw shoes. In _ their case the shoes are tied around the ankles with straw rope-and are made of the ordinary rice straw, braided so that they form a sole for the foot about half an inch thick. ‘These soles cost about a half penny per pair, and when they are worn out they are thrown away. Every cart bas a stock of fresh new. shoes tied to. the horse or to the front of the cart, and in Japan it was formerly the custom to measure distance largely by the number of horse-shoes It took to cover the distance. So many horseshoes made a day’s jour. mey, a&_d the average shoe lasted for about eight miles of travel. “The Lobster. A scientist. has entered a protest against. the use of the term “lobster” as an epithet implying lack of skill or courage. He says that lobsters on the Nova Scotian coast draw up in battle array and fight for hours according to thoroughbred rules, the coast being littered with claws and other evidences of dismemberment when the struggle is over. A Heroine. In a cemetery on the banks of the St. Lawrence river, near Prescott, is an epitaph saying that the stone was “erected to the memory of Elizabeth Richardson, who heroically defended the life of her lover by sticking a pitchfork in a mad cow’s nose.” The herole Miss Richardson was 38 aye old when she died. joke . -Cosmetique, The book tells, Just how: to. make this. “He’’-asks; asks: ae a tae a te "The young oe twirlea his hat i. his hands in an agitated manner . spoke in a voice that seemed to have a . tendency to get away from him. “Millie, the fact ts I—I—there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you a long time, but-1 can’t seem to fetch it.

A Cerious Way of Covering a Eso-c=> Crag With Plant Life, In the grounds of the Duke of Athol nd near Blair castle, England, stands a high, rocky crag named Craigiebarns. It looked grim and bare in th® midst of beauty, and its owner thought how much prettier it would look if only trees, shrubs, ete., could be planted in its nooks and crannies. It was considered impossible for any one to scale its ~ . steep and dangerous acclivities, and no other way was thought of to get seed sown. One day Alexander Nasmyth, father. of the celebrated engineer, paid a visit to the duke’s grounds. The crag was pofnted out.to him, and he was told of the desire of the duke regarding it. After some thought he conceived how it could be accomplished. In passing the castle he neticed two:old cannon.He got a few small tin canisters made to fit the bore of the cannon and filled them ‘with a variety of tree, shrub and grass seeds. The cannon was loaded in the usual way and. fired at the rock from all sides. The little canisters on striking the rock burst, scattering the seeds in all directions. Many seeds were lost, but matiy more fell into the ledges or cracks where there was a little moss or earth. ‘These soon showed signs of, life, and in a few years graceful trees and pretty climbing plants all sown by gunpowder were growing and flourishing in nearly every recess of the formerly bare, gray crag, clothing it with verdant beauty. . The Name Sioux. The Indian name Sioux, as it apin such town names as Sioux Falls, Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is usually pronounced “Soo,” but. sometimes, in the east chiefly, that simple pronunciation is not known. A committeeman not long ago visited a school in New England, where he heard the pupils say “Si-ox” with complete assurance. At a favorable opportunity he quietly spoke to the teacher of the error, saying, “You know, it is ‘Soo,’” xhereupon she asked the attention of the school and solemnly announced: “You have all been pronouncing this word wrong. It is not ‘Si-ox,’ but ‘Soo0x.” The conimitteeman lacked the courage to pursue the subject further. — Exchange. A Measure of Success.

Health’ May be Saved As Told: by a Doctor. Dr. Wendell O, Phillips of New York was recently giving a lecture on “Ould*, and Howto Prevent.Them.” It was a} rainy night, and he began : “How many persons here wore cake bers tonight,? Hands up. ; “Not half of you. Now that is what I'tbought. Every one of you should have rubbers ona night like this. To go without them is to invite cold: bronchial trouble, catarrh and pneumonia. It. 1s astonishing how people neglect their feet. Rubbers are fifty cents. You can save a lot of money on the investment—perhups a_ ten days’ doctor’s bill, to say novhing of medicine ” The doctor might have made. it still stronger and said that a fifty cent pair of rubbers would not only save doctor’s bills and medicixe bills, t ut often life itself. Don’t try to save on rubbers; its the most expensive economy in the world as the resalts show. TAYLOR BLENDS ~TEA To Suit Your Taste.
