At a certain draw ing room in London a guest approached Mr. Choate, who was i n too convention- *1 flreaa o f the English waiter, and «id, ."Cali me a cab.” “ All righ t,” said Mr. Choate, " if you wish it. you’re a cab.” This, is the complete ru in of a cnee amusing story, authentically told of W. S„ Gilbert. As th e a u ­ thor of “The Palace o f Trust” was standing on tho steps o f a Loudon house where he had been assisting nt a social function the bishop of London (we believe.it was B r; deck- eon), also a guest, ’ensue ou t and; beckoning t o Mr. w fb e ri, whom he supposed to bo op du ty for. that- purpose,'stfid, fC a ll ipe a cab, my man,” . Now1, ih e . bishop Was re­ markably plain, o f feature, a n d Mr. Gilbert replied? “W ith pleasure; my lo rd ' y o u are a '.cab, bu t a 'f o u r wheeler. I couldn’t call you a ban- * Boro.” That, now, is a good story.— Springfield Republican. • i v •■ » .* -* & ,• ,i London's Thick Atmosphere.^'-' ' Onepf the remedies suggested for the-lessexuhgf of'the'evils of the London'fog is the abolition, o f tod'- open grate, in the city by law and* the substitution of American made . stoves,"According to experts, more 'than—10,000,000^-tens ^of coal .are burned in London, annually, costing in the neighborhood of $45,000,000. On account* of the prevalence of open grates in the city five-sixths of this ikwasted. In other words,-it is shown'that in every ton burned 300 weight heats the room, while the balance, goes j\ip the chimney to- add to the great Sinoke cloud.; The air, it, is declared,* is polluted by 20,000 tons of coal dust daily.

He was always careful not to hurt any o f thejn* but hp thought some of them more interesting than others. There was a toad which, he called his, and he fed it with crumbs every day, Ha liked to watch it as it hopped about among the plants, darting out its bright Ted tongue to catch any Bffiall insects which came in its way. /’■ One day Lloyd ran to his mother in great excitement. - ."My toad is trying to get his skin off!” he cried. It wag true, and when Lloyd and his mother reached the toad they saw hinrpulling^bia skin over his head in much the way that a little girl would take off her high necked, long sleeved apron, only it was hard­ er work for him to do. But he tug­ ged away with his fore feet until his 'was free, and then what a bright new coat he-displayed! , , Llpyd'was delighted, and he ask­ ed many .questions about toads and the way in which they changed-their coats, and after that he was more fond of his toad than ever.—Emma *0.

' •Top spinn ing is one of th e oldest games iu the world. -It "bias ’been played fo r thousands of years, and there are few, even of the savage na­ tions of Asia and Africa who.-don't play the game with sojne sort of top. Long before Columbus sailed for- America- the Indians knew a. good deal about fops and top spin- ly to repair the damage done bv i t to the houses of parliament, while, the decay of th e Cleopatra’s Needle, on the Thames embankment, is ,di^ rectly traceable -to th is injurious ,elk 1 eraent-j. > i , - V *"1 ,■* ‘ The Professor'*’Downfall. . ’ - Apropos of the more* rigid social rule’s introduced -in to -some of our colleges fo r women,.Sefh Low tells • a story of a western-Seminary where the young women had 'arranged an evening’s -entertainment 'Ut which Some young m eu itoredo he p resen t.

'It* Curatfv* preperU** W#y It O q «* It* Work. The madstone is supposed to be taken from the sromucu of a white deer. It is about the size of an Eng* toll walnut and slightly porous, When a person is bitten by an ani­ mal afflicted with rabies, the stone is placed on*the bite", It immediate­ ly sticks, sometimes for half an hour. ■■ .•■■; *:■■ One of the greatest fears of the cowpuncher is of being bitten by a skunk. In the cattle country when the puncher is on the range and must sleep outdoors of nights he hardly ever lies down on the ground without, thinking of" this danger. When he is bitten, -it is almost al­ ways to the face. Nine times out of ten hydrophobia symptoms develop. In most cases he is anywhere from twenty to fifty miles from a doctor^ and search is made among the ranchers for a madstone. The cow- puncher is. simple in his faiths, and he clings to this one. And, indeed, many marvplouB tales are told of -the success of this somewhat vague healer. The writer knows of one remark­ able case, A man in a New Mexican cattle town was bitten in the arm by a mad dog. The nearest doctor gave his aid, but he was not able to decrease the swelling, A madstone was sent for from a distance and ap­ plied* to the bite. The curative properties o f 'the stone lie, in its power of absorption, *It adhered at once to this man’s arm. Running up the elbowjwasjajthin blue streak, tracing the course of the poison. As the stone stuck this streak gradual­ ly decreased and was not to be aeen when, the inanimate little doctor fell off after' thirty minutes’ adhesion. The stone was *put in water, and a blue film immediately formed on the surface. .The man got well. The value of’a madstone varies with ife owner. The stone just-told of was held at $500,—Exchange.*’' . MA1DI GRAS, >-, New ’ Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola; The Mardi Gras Carnivals’will be held .this year in above cities, from February-4 to 13.
