toilet under the unfavorable auspices
but when on the third day the tooth
brush nail Hie whiskbroom etc had
been duly used and returned to their

IS IT WORTH WHILE
Is It wortli while that wo Jostle a brother
Bearing Ills load on tlw rough road of
life
Is It worth whllo that we jeer at each
other
In blackness of heart that wo war to
the knife
God pity us all in our pitiful strife
God pity us all as we jostle each other
God pardon us all for the triumph wo
feel
When a fellow goes down neath his load
on the heather
Pierced to the heart Words are keener
than steel
And mightier far for woe than for weal
Were It not well In this brief little jour
ney
On over the isthmus down Into the tide
We give him a fish instead of a serpent
Ere folding the hands to bo and abide
Forever and aye in dust at his side
Look at the roses saluting each other
Look at the herds all at peace on the
plain
Man and man only makes war on his
brother
And laughs in his heart at his peril and
pain
Shamed by the beasts that go down on
the plain
Is It worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow down Into the dust
God pity us all Time too soon will tumble
All of us together like leaves in gust
Humbled indeed down into the dust

He Got tho Hare
An old sailor struck inland thinking
he would like to try work in the coun

meal one day saying he was willing to
work but that he knew little or noth
ing of country life
I will give you a meal said the
farmer If you will round up those
sheep on the common there and drive
them Into this fold Come back when
youve done it
In three hours time the sailor came
back looking hot but happy
Have you done the job asked the
farmer
Yes replied the sailor mopping his
forehead
Youve been a pretty long while
about it Lets go and see them
Looking over the gate of the field
the farmer saw the sheep safely in
the fold Theres a hare sitting up
among em he exclaimed
Do you mean that little feller
there asked the sailor Why that
is the little beggar who gave me all
the trouble I thought it was a lamb

Wellington Never Saw Napoleon
In the published reminiscences of
Mr Carboul the drawing master to
the children of Queen Victoria there is
the following On reaching the pal
ace one morning the Prince of Wales
showed me a drawing he had just fin
ished Napoleon was depicted on
cut down his great enemy While I
was looking at the drawing who should
come in but the duke himself Why
the very man who can best criticise
my drawing said the prince Now
can you tell me who is that on the
left he went on presenting the
sketch to the duke Well replied the
latter deliberately judging from the
waistcoat and cocked hat I should say
it ri meant for Napoleon Right
said the prince Anil who Is that oth
er figure By the cut of the jib re
turned the duke calmly I should say
It was myself Right again Well
now is the drawing accurate Thats
what 1 want to know The duke rose
put down the sketch and thus im
pressively addressed the Prince of
Wales My hoy Im going to tell you
something that the English people
dont seem to realize I was sent out
to keep Napoleon in check but never
in my life have I set eyes on him
Once in the midst of a battle someone
cried Look Theres Napoleon but
before I could get the glass to my eye
the smoke from a field gun had envel
oped him

On Business After All
j The manager of the big department
store stood stock still outside the little
boxlike chamber which held the tele
phone of the establishment for he was
I a very startled manager indeed With-
j in the chamber he could hear Miss
I Jones the stenographer speaking and
this is a scrap of the conversation the
scandalized man overheard
I love you dear and only you Im
weeping my heart away Yes my dar
ling speak to me once more I love
you dear I love you so
The young woman rang off and
horseback leveling a pistol at the Duke stepped out of the cabinet to confront

Miss Jones he said that tele
phone has been fixed where it Is for
tho purpose of convenience in conduct
ing business and not for lovemaking
in office hours I am surprised at you
Dont let it occur again

OUR EXPENSIVE PALATES
The Prl e of Flavor Is Not Always the
Price of Luxury
Physiological chemists occasionally
delight to tell us that we are the dupes
of aesthetic senses and pleasing fla
vors Men will pay they say half a
guinea for a pint of turtle soup which
from a strictly nutritive point of view
is not worth a twentieth part of that
sum Oysters we are told are an ex
travagant form of food since fourteen
of them do not contain as much nour
ishment as a single egg while it would
require the ingestion of no less than
200 good oysters before the protein
equivalent of a pound of beef was
reached Caviare again is not to be
compared with the bloater as regards
Its nutritive value Indeed the latter
offers the largest amount of nutri
ment for a given sum of any animal
food
It is evident if we regard these con
clusions seriously that a large section
of the human race Is wickedly indul
gent caring more for the palatable
than the nutritious quality of food
Tho same appears to be true in regard
to beverages and even in the case of
cigars there is no difference chemical
ly speaking between the penny Pick
wick and the shilling Havana The
difference of 11 pence is paid for flavor
and flavor alone Physiologically it is
possible that a brandy and soda cost
ing say a shilling is just as satisfac
tory as a pint of champagne at 5
s Similarly it may be said that a
lings
pint of beer at sixpence
good dietetically speaking
is quite as
as a small
bottle of Chautoau Margeaux at Js id
There are however clearly instances
in Avhich in no sense can the nutritive
equivalent of food and beverages be
summed up In so many pounds shil
lings and ponce How often is it
found for example that the invalid
may be tempted to take a few oysters
in preference to a small beef fillet or
some turtle soup when calves head the
basis of mock turtle would scarcely
appeal to him even although it may
be more than equal in nutritive value
to the only reptile used to any extent
as food in this country When a per
son refuses to take a given food how
ever nutritive and wholesome it may
be because it Is not tempting to the
sight or tho palate It is in many in
stances probable that if he struggles
to overcome his fastidiousness such
food may prove to tax his digestive
functions and may even cause gastric
trouble
The chemical analysis of food and
physiological experiments in the test
tube do not take Into account this psy
chical factor of digestion for the di
gestive process Is well begun when the
sight of food is pleasing On the con
trary when food does not appeal to the
eye it Is likely not to appeal to the
stomach It is hardly reasonable to
conclude therefore that the price of
flavor is always the price of luxury
Lancet
Outwitted the Cat
It is a moot question whether birds
suddenly recover from fright or sham
death to effect their escape when cap
tured A man living in one of the
houses in Park row London is the
possessor of a fine old Persian tabby
cat which not infrequently makes a
raid on Hyde park and returns home
with a fat prize The other day one
of the maids met puss climbing lei
surely upstairs with a sparrow in his
mouth He was making the peculiar
muffled mowwow that meant heres
fun The birds head dangled limply
its eyes were half shut one wing was
trailing and feathers were missing
from its tail The owner of the house
and the cat happened to come down
stairs at the time and the maid drew
his attention to puss and the bird The
cat laid the sparrow at their feet with
pride The maid stooped to take the
bird in her hand when it suddenly shot
up and flew straight out of an open
window It had evidently not been
hurt by the cat which was so angry
that it tried to jump out of the window

entire command and left at once for
AYashington Soon after his arrival
his battery together with other troops
was reviewed by the president in front
of the White House and Captain Tomp
kins proud of his battery brought it
past the president In the very best
shape he was capable of doing and at
once returned to be presented to the
president as was done with all the
other officers When the captain Avas
presented Lincoln said loud enough for
all near by to hear Captain your
battery is certainly a very pretty bat
teryin fact the prettiest battery I
have ever seen and then in so low a
tone that no one but the captain heard
him but I must say captain I have
seen very few batteries

The Presidential Salute
The American presidential salute is
twenty one guns as is the English
royal salute but the reason why just
twenty one guns are fired Is obscure
Antiquarians have put forth different
theories as to tills One states that
seven was the original salute but that
In England this was given three times
on e for Scotland once for Ireland
avl once for England Some declare
th t the American salute is twenty one
guns because the sum of the numbers
