farther end, from which the con
testants start. Two Dlavers berin
together, cadi armed with a spoon,
who must pick up the potatoes, one
bj one, with the spoon and carry
them to the basket, into which they
must drop them. The players may
take up the potatoes in any order
they please, but a separate trip must
be made for each one. Sometimes
thev try to throw the potato into
the basket from a distance, but if it
misses it must be picked up, and so
time is lost instead of gained. When
all the players have had their turn
the winners are pitted against each

A Poison Show.
Some people would c:ill him a
crank, but nobody could deny he
had method in his crankiness, says
the Chicago News. This i- what he
did: In the front window of his
drug eMre, arranged in a semicircle,
with a human skull in the (.enter, he
put a lot of thin;:.-, mo-tiv drugs,
with label- attached giuii:: their
names. On a card conp:cinu.-ly
shown w ere the words. "Y. en tiling
in this window is a deadly po.son."
It is worthy of nto that atnouii the
articles was a t ipirette, plated be
tween the jaws of the ku!l; a deck
of cards, some live, a pint of vhi-kv
a.nd a pir.t of wine. It is al- worthy
of note that a majority of the peo
ple that looked at the display voted
for the cigarette as the most deadly
poison in the lot.
Your Dog.
The more you talk to a dog the
better he likes it, and ho tunes his
temper to your every mood. Are
you merry? He frisks and frolics
and jumps up at you with wild aban
don. Are you sorrowful '? lie will
lay his head softly on your knee,
looking up into vour face with ador
ing, kindly eyes that, far more pret
tily than any words, beg you to
cheer up. and tell you that he. at all
events, thinks you worthy of the ut
most good fortune. The rigid kind
of a dog never lets you forget how
much he loves you. l'runi Paul
and Fiametta.
Carriages That Were Not CarriageD.
It has surprised many readers of
the Bible to lind the word "car
riages" used in it, that being, as we
use it, a modern word. It may be
found in the fifteenth verse of the
twenty-first chapter of the Acts, in
the New Testament, the passage be
ing, "And after those days we took
our carriages and went up to Jeru
salem." This means that the apos
tles walked and carried their belong
ings or baggage with them, the word
that is translated "carriages" mean
ing "that which has to be carried."
Timbuktu.
While Tennyson was an under
grauate at Cambridge he won a prize
for a poem on "Timbuktu." When
the subject was assigned a discussion
at once arose as to the possibility
of finding a rhyme for the word.
Many bright young fellows tried
their wit at it in a sort of bur
lesque competition. The following
lines were adjudged the best:
If I were a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuktu.
I would eat a missionary,
Prayer book, Bible and hymn book too.
Dictionary Girls.
Guessing the "dictionary girls"
affords amusement for a dull hour.
Here are a few of the list, and oth
ers will come readily to mind: A
disagreeable girl, Annie Mosity; a
warlike girl, Millie Tary; a geomet
rical girl, Polly Gon ; a sad girl, Ella
G.; a very pleasant girl, Jennie Rob-

WEIRD ODD LOTS.
The mummy of an Egyptian" prin
cess, Eaid to be over 3,000 years old,
which was knocked down for "a few
guineas in Covent Garden, is the lat
est addition to the long list of weird
lots which have figured in auction
sale catalogues in recent years. Not
long ego the head, little larger than
a hen's egg, of a central Mexican
pygmy was an offer, and earlier we
read of such grewsome lots as a
piece of the skin of a notorious pi
rate, a book bound in a malefactor's
skin and a strip of epidermitabelcd
with Jeremy Bentham's name. A
hangman's rope, a donkey's skin in
pickle, 'coffins (bankrupt stock) and
relics of prisons and criminals hare
all found recent purchasers, while a
few years o a colonial official en
tered a London auction room just
in time to bid (if he had been so dis
posed) for the mummy of a Maori
chieftain who had once dined as a
gue-t at his own table. Westmin

Bull Fights In Japan.
"Few of us, however long we live
in Japan, know about all its cus

spondent. "Bull fighting is the

Raccoon Hair Charm.
"Over in Memphis there is a man
who savs he went all through the
civil war and figured in some of the
hottest battles, but never received a
scratch," said Clarence F. Hendley
of Meridian, Miss., at Hartman's.
"The old soldier explains his luck
by telling of a ball of raocoon Kair
worn around his neck during the
battle. He eaid an old negro wom
an told him that bv wearing a ball
of raccoon hair around his neck on
a copper wire he would never get
hurt or have a spell of sickness, lie
told me he tried the experiment just
at the beginning of the war and that
it proved successful. He says he
has never been ill one day, nor ha9
he ever met with any kind of acci
dent, and he gives all the credit to
the raccoon's hair." Nashville Ten
nesscean. Judicial Definition of "All In."
In the recent case of State versus
Hennessy, !)0 Pac. Rep. 221, the Ne
vada supreme court gives a defini
tion of the slang phrase all in.
The question came up in connection
with the admission in evidence of a
dying declaration, the declarant's
statement that he was "all in be
ing relied on to show that lie was
under a sons; of impending doath.
The court said, "The ei predion 'I

At the recent exposition of the

combination of the phonograph
with the cinematograph, whereby
tlie ligures upon the screen were
caueod to go through all tho motions
of singing, while the sounds issued
concordantly from the phonograph,
so that the illusion was astonishing
