An Instantaneous Cups.
During the cattle plague of 1866 In
England a farmer who had lost a num
ber of ma cows grew so depressed that
h;o fully persuaded himself he Mad sl
ab contracted the disease. The medi
cal man whom he consulted tried In
vain to lausb him out of his fears,
but subsequently, bring font! of a
Joke, pretended to agree with the pa
tient's views, and solemnly tnjd him
if he would attend to his Instructions
he would be cured. He then gave
the farmer a prescription, which he
directed .should he taken to a neigh
boring druggist, but when the latter
op'V.ed the envelope and rend the con
tents he was as much startled as the
fanner. Fur tho prescription was lis
follows: "This man has the cattle
plague. Take 'him Into the backyard
and shoot him. according to act of
parliament." Neediest tA say, tho
cure was Instantaneous.
Inverting In Nature.
A man must invest himself near at
fiend, and in common things, and be
content with a steady and moderate
return, If he would know the blessed
ness of a cheerful heart and the sweet
ness of a walk over the round earth.
This is a lesson the American has yet
to learn capability of amusement on
a low key. He expects rapid and ex
traordinary returns. He would make
the very elemental laws pay usury.
He hjia nothing to Invest in a walk;
It ,1b too slow, too cheap. VHj crave
the astonishing, the exciting, the far
away, aid do. not know the highways
of the gods when we see them always
a sign of the decay of faith and sim
plicity of man. John Burroughs.
Worldly Wisdom.
As there is a worldly happiness
which God perceives to be no more
than disguised misery; as there are
worldly honors which In 'his estima
tion are reproach, so there Is a world
ly wisdom which In his sight Is fool
ishness. Of this worldly wisdom the
characters are given in the Scriptures,
and placed In contrast with those of
the wisdom which is from above.' The
one la the wisdom of the crafty, tho
other that of the upright; the one
terminates In selfishness, the other In
charity; the one is full of strife and
bitter envylngs, the other of mercy
and of good fruit s. Blair.

"Pigeon milk fa a myth," said a

Is first soaked, then boiled In water.
After the liquid turns white sugar and

JOKE WAS ALSO ON BUTLER.
Brt of April Fooling That Doubtless
Meant Disgrace of Dignified
Functionary.
Charles Frohnran, In the smoking
room of the Lusltania, told an April
fool story. i
"A Fifth avenue millionaire)," ho
said, "had a butler of humorous bent.
The butler was English. Ho hitd
! ivorkod seven years In a duhe'a house
j hold. Therefore his wonf was law
on questions of etiquette. t
j "To oblige his friends the rtilllloU-
aire would let them send theJr own
j young butlers to his palace to scrvu'a
j day or tv.o under the English veturah'.
The youngstera leaned a lot In this
way. The Enrjlshman was made a
rogulp.r freo school of. But he didn't
mind.
'Tt happened, one spring day, that
tho millionaire was giving a dinner tQ
a German prince. A friend's butler,
as usual, was helping the veteran to
get the table and wine ready and fit
the same time was taking a lesson in
butleipihlp. ' " j
" 'Stnco tills here man's a prince,
Mr. Potts, Is, there anything special In
the way wo are to serve him?' tho
pupil Inquired.
"The humorous butlor Potts, re
membering that it chanced to be the
Isttof April, soil calmly:
'"There'B only one specialty, and
I'll leave that to you, my boy. .When
his highness sits down you must take
up his napkin, unfold it and knot it
round his neck, continental fashion.'
"'Hadn't you better do it, Mr.
Potfs?" said the youth, timidly.
"'No, no; it ain't my place,' was
the reply.
"Potts forgot all about his Joke (ln
the presB of work that followed.
Therefore his surprise and horror al
most equaled his master's when, the
guests- having seated themselves that
evening at the magnificently laid ta
ble the young butler leaned over the
prince, took his napkin, shook it out
with, a nervous flourish and then knot
ted it ' like a bib about the dumb
founded potentate's neck."
Agricultural Resources of Chile.
"Chile is one of the richest coun
tries in South America," remarked
H. A. Vingut, a mining engineer, who
has spent the last ten years in that
country. "Not only Is It rich in mines,
but Its agricultural resources are un
limited. In the southern part of Chile
are Immense stretches of cattle and
sheep lands and as good grazing
grounds as those of Texas. In the cen
tral part of Chile are hundreds of thou
sands of acres of fertile lands that will
grow almost every known crop. Of
course, Argentina Is the premier
wheat producing country of . South
America, but it cannot surpass Chilo
rn the quality of grain grown.
"There are fewer Americans ' in
Chile than in any other South Amer
ican country, I believe. I don't know
the season for this, unless it Is that
the Chilean people are not overfond
rst Americans. Germans and English
men seem to be in favor with the peo
ple of Chile, and the people of those
two countries are capturing a large
part of the trade."
The Language of Clothes.
A pompous eolor-ed woman wheeled
Into the cloak department of a down
town store.
"Can I direct you, madam?" Inquired
ene of the managers. ,
"Tessah. Ah wants the gown de
pahtment." "What kind of gowns, madam?" fur
ther Inquired the official.
' "Why, women's gowns, of oo'se,''
replied the customer, disgustedly.
"Tall think Ah wants a gown fo' a
man?"
''But, madam," eplalned the maa
ager,'"joii gee we hays differed kinds'
of gowns. There are tailor-made
gowns, evening gowns and night
gowns."
"No, san," put In the woman, I
promptly, "Ah don' want no tallah
made ajowns, or night gOwns, or early
In the evenln' gowns. What Ah wants
Ib Jes' a plain gown to do washln !n.
Ah wants a oallco wrapper. That's
what Ah wants." -Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Forty as the Voting Age for Women.
One of the objections to woman's
suffrage has been that It destroys the
home. The woman wh goes to the
polls neglects her yonng brood I am
now referring to those who are mar
ried. The unmarried woman loses
her maidenly charm and reserve and
young girls will be too apt to ;be
swayed here and there by emotions
or some consideration. Very well.
Iet " all women vote at 40 years lot
age, and not before. Here Is a solu
tion. The matron of 40 would have
children quite well started toward ado
lescence. The unmarried lady of 40
would fmd a metier, in case she bad
not one, and at that age there would
be less chance of her marrying than
at 20, and she should certainly at this
time ef life know her own mind.

An Author's Initials.
Initials are sometimes the resort of
the writer who is anxious to conceal
his Identity, and a glance through any
one of the 700 volumes that comprise
the catalogue of tha British museum
reading-room will discover some
strange Instances. A theological
book entitled "Inquiry Into the Mean
ing of Demonlacks in the New Testa
ment" Is attributed to T. P. A. P. O.
A. B. I. C. O. 3. Its real author was a
certain Arthur Sykos, and the Initials
revital his position as "the precentor
and prebendary of Alton Borealls In
U4 cliurch ot Salisbury."
NOT A CORPOREAL DELIGHT.
Real Nature of ttjo Kiss, as Viewed
by a Writer Who Has Clearly
Studied the Subject.
It Is the fashion of the more bilious
moralists to put kissing among tho
j gross pleasures, wjth rating, yodllng,
! snoring and the use of tobacco; bat,
as a matter of fact, it is not a corpor
' eal delight at all, Eays a writer in the
I Baltimore Sun. Its sole physical ac-
cempanlmcni, Indeed, Is a sensition
I of suffocation, and this, as all v. Ill ad
I niit, Is scarcely agreeable. No; tho
insidious charm of the pastime must
j bo :ousht In Its psychic effects in its
, marvelous and delightful interfevenco
! with the normal processes of ratloci
I nation. A man kissed is.a man trat!3-
figured and transmogrified. Let him
j be the worst of misanthropes before
I the sweet Impingement of nose upon
j nose, and he may yet emerge from the
turmoil a philanthropist. 'One kiss,
properly stage-managed, is enough to
i transform a pirate into a poet, a poli
: tlclan Into a philosopher, or vice ver
sa. One small kiss, Indeed, is suffi
cient to turn' a proud, heaven-kissing
bnhelor Into a servile married man
the most slupejidous, antipodal and
lamentable transformation possible, at
this writing, in a nicre human being.
NEWEST USE FOR NAIL FILE.
Guest at Philadelphia Dinner st First
Caused Great Consternation '
by His Action.
A Philadelphia doetor Iras discov
ered a brand new use for a nail file
which a likely to become much more
prominent than the old use. A short
tirne ago this doctor was a guest at a
dinner in one of Philadelphia's most
exclusive houses. When the last
course had been served and the cigars
were being passed the doctor reached
down Into his trousers and extracted
a penknife. Slowly he opened a blado.
Everybody gassed. Could it be that
Dr. would so far forget himself
as to manicure his nails at tho AQle?
All watched with bated breath. Slowly
the doctor reached out and secured a
match which wai hear his place. Then
he deliberately struck his match on
the rough part of the nail file and lit
his elgar. The suspense was ov&r and
the doctor had not committed the
frightful breach of etiquette which his
associates had feared. Now the cus
tom Is spreading fast, for it Is less ef
fort than It isto stand on one leg to
strike the match on one's shoe, and
decidedly more elegant than the time
honored method of striking it oa one's
trousers.
Probably True.
"Say," said the farmer, who was un
loading potatoes at the grocery, "Ho
you believe that story about little
George Washington and the hatchet
and the cherry tree?"
i "Don't ask me," laughed the grocer.
"Well, I thhik it Is probably true.
Fve got a boy ten years old at homo,
and after he had teased me for a year
or so I bought 'him a boy's ax."
"And did he cut down your favor'e
chert y tree?"
"He did a heap better than that.
He cut down most of the apple or
chard orchard."
"And did he tell a Ho about It?"
"Nope. Owned up like a little
man."
"And, like Washington, you praised
him?"
"Unlike Washington, I didn't dd
any euch blamed thing. I gave him
a hiding on the spot, and have licked
him once a day since and am going
to keep It np until he is twenty-fiv-e
years old."
