CURIOUS INN SIGNS. Germany Seems to Lead the World In 1 Fantastic Designations. Scattered throughout England are some curious inn names, and in remote parts of the United States American fancy and imagination have also done wonders in this di rection, but Germany, says a writer in Leisure Hour, probably keeps the record for out of the way signs and fantastic names. The most absurd results are usu ally obtained by the name of some animal with a more or less unsuit able object. The "Comfortable Chicken" and the "Cold Frog," both of them in Berlin, arc certainly left in the shade by the "Angry Ant" (Ort in Westphalia) and the "Still Dog" (Berlin). The "Lame Louse" is an inn in the suburb of Berlin, and not far from it is the "Thirsty Pelican." In Luxemburg there is the "Three Asses," but the sign of the house has only two asses painted on it. The worils underneath, however, ex plain all. They are in German, Eng lish and French, as follows: "When shall we three meet again?" The "Dirty Parlor," the "Bloody Bones," the "Musical Cats," the "Four Hundredweight Man," the "Boxers' Den," are all in Berlin or '? the neighborhood and the "Old i Straw Bag" is in Leipsic. The "Open Bunghole" is in Stadt chen, in the Palatinate, and the "Shoulder Blade" in Jerichow. The "Last Tear" is a landlord's notion for the name of hi3 inn, situated near a graveyard, visited by return ing mourners, and is of frequent oc currence throughout Germany. Exasperating Days. Aren't there some times in your life when everything seems to go wrong no matter how hard you try to have them go right? Those are the trying days when you want to blame all the trouble on the way you got out of bed in the morning or on other people instead of look ing the matter squarelv in the face and saying, "It's one of my exasper ating days, and if I can only keep my temper until night comes tomor row will be different." The trouble is when we feel ruf fled ourselves we somehow impart the feeling to others, and nine times out of ten we either get into a quar rel or do some ugly, horrid little thing that we wouldn't think of on other occasions. If you can on these hateful days manage to think twice before you speak once, it will save a lot of worry on- the morrow. In fact, that is a good rule to go by at all times, for of all the unruly, mis chief making members the tongue is the most prominent. A Boy's Protest. The boy was young, but he was a philosopher. He knew that the "grown ups" did not recognize the rights of boyhood. He felt his wrongs, but he also felt the utter' uselessness of struggling against the fixed. Some day he would be as big as they. In the meanwhile it was futile to cry out against the in evitable. But one morning hunger, the great primitive instinct before which even philosophy shrinks and, shrivels, wrung from him a protest that betrayed him, showing an agi tated heart beneath.his calm exteri or, a mind ready to revolt against the despotism of fact. He had wait ed for his breakfast longer than any healthy bodied boy should and at last, smarting under his wrongs, said bitterly: "If our hired man had been wait ing all this time, you bet he'd have kicked."?New York Times. Development of a Baby's Mind. In an experiment whose purpose was to trace the stages of develop ment of a baby's mind the infant was placed before a mirror daily. During the earliest stage of the test he simply looked at his reflection, as birds do. He next showed fear of it, as do many of the higher ani mals. He then grasped at it with his hands, as eats strike at reflec tions with their paws. Later he looked behind the glass to find the object, as cats -and monkeys have been known to do. But on the four hundred and twentieth day of his life he deliberately turned the glass at different angles to obtain re quired reflections, an intelligence not possessed by any animal other than man. The Flight of Time. Many, many years ago one day when the hall at the Four Courts in Dublin was crowded during the luncheon hour with all the lawyers and barristers exchanging notes and queries on each other's cases, two men entered with a long ladder. They placed it before the great clock which was the special orna ment of the building and proceeded to examine it. Presently they un screwed it from the wall, carried it down the ladder with infinite care, passed through the crowd of legal luminaries, who surveyed the work With indifferent eyes, out into the street and were never seen or heard of again. MEXICAN "BANDITS. "Boss" Shepherd's Experiences With the Lawless Highwaymen. When Alexander Li. Shepherd. known in Washington circles as "Boss" Shepherd, lira purchased Liis plantation ut mpilas, Mexico, it was 2~i5 miles from the nearest railroad, at l .huahna. Lawless bands wandered throughout the sur rounding country. Accordingly the plantation was fortified, and a small army was carefully trained as an escort for the mail stage between Batopilas and Chihuahua and to guard the silver trains. Sometimes more than S'iOO.OOO worth of tlie metal was carried at one time by mule hack to Chihuahua to be mint ed there into Mexican dollars or de posited as bullion for an equivalent in banknotes. Naturally the pres ence of so much treasure in their miu i invited attack from the law it - bands which prowl through these mountains. At last one of the mule trains was attacked, the guard overpowered and the silver stolen. Shepherd in a rage spent money like water in apprehending the criminals. His oilers of extravagant rewards at last brought about the capture of the bandits, and they were escorted by some Mexican soldiery to the gov ernor of the province for trial. A few days later word came to the Shepherd hacienda that the robbers had attempted to escape 011 the way and had all been shot dead. At one tinie it was said that the Bonanza King had been responsible for this summary revenge; hut, at any rate, his silver trains were afterward un molested. The high esteem with which he was held even by the robbers, who had thus been signally punished, was shown the time he was captured by one of their hands. He was go ing to Chihuahua from Batopilas when he was surprised by five high waymen. They had pounced down on him when he had happened to fall behind his guard, lie threw up his hands, kept them up and went with the brigands to a cave. There they took all the money he had on his person, fea-led him with a "touching" hospitality, called him the "White Faced Silver King" and then hade him :i merry goodby. Learning English In Japan. A Tokyo publisher has issued a book for the benefit of Japanese de sirous of learning English. It is entitled "The Young Scholar" and gives examples of English composi tion. Here is one, entitled "The Education of the Cat "I heard that beasts and birds have the education. Indeed, I saw the fact. Several days ago mv cat brought fortli three kittens. When the kittens became able to eat rat, the cat brought rat without head, because she had eat the head al ready, and she gave her children, and they eat the rat in quarrel. After three days she brought a dead rat with head and gave them, and they eat it as before. After three days she brought the rat half dead and half alive and gave them it; but they could not eat it, and the rat contrived to escape." The Laddie Knew. At a recent school examination by the school board an officious member intimated that he would give a certain class a lesson on "wool." After lecturing to the chil dren for a considerable time with out any appearance of attention from the class he stopped short and began questioning one dull looking boy, says the Scottish American. "Well, my boy," said he, taking hold of the boy's jacket, "what is this jacket made of ?" The boy, hanging down his head, remained quite si lent. "Come, come, my boy," the member coaxingly said. "Don't you know what your jacket is made of?" With eyes still on the floor the boy answered, "It was made out o' ma faither's auld breeks." Spoiled the Lecture. "Gentlemen," recently said a Ger man professor who was showing to his students the patients in the asy lum, "this man suffers from deliri um tremens. He is a musician. It is well known that blowing a brass instrument affects the lungs and the throat in such a way as to create a great thirst, which has to be allayed by persistent indulgence in strong drink; hence in course of time the disease you have before you." Turn ing to tbe patient, the professor asked. "What instrument do you blow?" and the answer was, "The violoncello." Clothing Aflame. If one's clothing catches fire, the flame must be smothcrqd. If the lower garments are blazing, sit on them; if the upper .annents, then a blanket or even a hearth rug may be wrapped round, and one should roll on the floor to oru-'h out the flame while shouting for help. Many lives have been lost by people running for assistance and thu-= fanning the flame, instead of beginning the work of extinguishing it for them selves. Fixing ttic Blame.
