a hole in the saud with her fore paws,

up and leaves the heat of the sun on
the sand to hatch out the young terra

Pen Portrait of Grieg.
Here is a» vivid a i)icture of Grieg the
man as any that has yet t)een drawn.
A correspondent who saw the noted
Scandanavian composer when he re
ceived his honorary degree at Cam
bridge. in England. In 181)4. makes It
for the Manchester Guardian: “It Vv'as
a sad and a strong face that w’e saw.
one might almost have said a grim
face, but that there was nothing of
hardness in it. a face which must have
inspired both resfject and affection in
all who met him. Yet as the little,
old looking man stood there in the red
and yellow gown of a doctor of music
there was something incongruous
about his appearance, the head, en
circled with long, straight, white hair,
appearing above the still stiff er.

which descended to the ground in the
form of a regular cone, and the simile
of one visitor, who remarked that they
made him look just like a penwiper,
was Irresistibly accurate.’'
Beer Capacity of a Munich Porte**.
,An English family touring in Ba
varia called at the world famous Hof-
brauhaus, the pride of Munich, writes
our correspondent. To the w’aitress
serving them the head of the family
in a matter of fact way simply held
up his five fingers. To the family’s
astonishment, the waitress came back
with five quart pots tilled to the brim
with beer. The visitors bravely strug
gled with the beer, but managed to
dispose of onl.v about a quart between
them. Knowing that it would be con
sidered an insult to leave beer, they
called a porter and ordered him to
finish it In less time than It takes
to relate it the Bavarian accomplished
the task. Wiping his mustache, he
demanded sixpence for the “job” and.
having obtained the money, instantly
ordered and emptied yet another quart
pot.—London Mail.
A Waiter's Amazing Wail.
The waiter spoke indignantly.
“Men go about,’* he said, “complain
ing of being mistook for waiters, but
it is on the other foot really that the
shoe rests. Us waiters are the real
complainants in these cases of mistak
en identity. Our kicks are sincere.
The otiiers’ ring false. For at dances
and balls and such like crushes many
a young man maizes money by being
mistook for a waiter. How’ does he
make money? Why, he is tipped, and
all them tips he pockets, never think
ing of handing them over to their
rightful owners. At every big affair
we count on a loss of 5 per cent
through the dishonest advantage thnt
imj)ecunious young swells take of be
ing mistook for waiters.” — Philadel
phia Bulletin.
Savr^-! Sense of Hunnor.
Lecturing on Nev/ Guinea, A. H.
Dunning said he once offered a native
some smelling salts. After going
through extraordinary contortions the
native went away, returning soon with
another native, whom he compelled to
make acquaintance with the salts. The
two brought a third, and so on until
the whole village had been victimized.
The savages watched each new suffer
er with the keenest delight and took
good care not to let him know what
fate awaited him.—London Standard.

A Working Majority.
“You can fool all of the people some

“Why go further?” interrupted Sena

Gold Is Everywhere.
Gold can most proiitably be extr.iet*
ed from certain mines where the ore is
rich and not too difficult to work, but
should these deposits ever peter out
there is no fear that the world would
suffer for lack of a gold supply, for
there are many other sources which
are as yet untouched, but for working
which profitable methods would be de
vised if need were. Granite, for ex
