A few days the schoolmaster wished to begin ''s instruction again anrl wrote letters to the villagers who owned the grain H the building, asking politely that they remove it. The answer was un expected. The peasants, angry at the -assumption" of the fellow, stormed his house, pulled him out into the street and heat him badly. The excitement MK,n extended to all the people in the hamlet, and a large mob of howling men. women and children gathered about the house of the mayor.

Don’t expect to have clenn tooth or a sweet breath while there is a tinge of white on the tongue. It is an unmis takable evidence of indigestion. Drink sour lemonade, eat ripo fruit and green vegetables for purgatives, exercise freely, use plenty of water internally and externally, and keep up the treat ment until the mouth is clean, heullhy and red. Various things are suggested to counteract un unpleasant breath re sulting from a bad tooth, wine, or gar lic scented dishes. Cinnamon, mint, creams, orris root, cloves, mnstic rosin, and spruco gum will disguise some odors. Ten drops of tincture of myrrh in a glass of water will sweeten and refresh the mouth. A teaspoonful of spirits of camphor or peppermint in the same gurgle is among tho best an tiseptics. and a few drops of myrrh and camphor in the water are recommend in case of cold, throat trouble or any slight-indisposition which muy affect '.he breath. — Philadelphia Times. Sympathetic. ! When Judge Buxton of North Caro lina as a young lawyer made his first appearance at the bar, the solicitor, us is customary in that state, asked him to take charge of a case for him. The young lawyer did highest, nnd the jury found the defendant, who wus accused with some petty misdemeanor, guilty. Soon after one of the jurors, coming round the bar, tapped him on the shoulder. “Buxton,” said he, “the jury did not think that man guilty, but we did not like to discourage a young man.”—Breen Bag. For Modern Conking. As a matter of useful information it may be stated that whenever a cook ing receipt calls for a baking powder the “Royal” should bo used. The re ceipt will be found to work better and surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes, dumplings, crusts, puddings, crullers or whatever made, will be pro duced sweeter, lighter, finer flavored, more dainty, palatable and wholesome. Besides the “Royal1’ will go further or has greater leavening power, and is therefore more economical than any other powder. Many receipts as published still call for cream-of-tartar and soda, the old fashioned way of raising. Modern cooking and expert cooks do not sanc tion this old way. In all such receipts the Royal Baking l’owder should be substituted without fail. The greatest adepts in the culinary art are particular to use the Royal only, and the authors of the most popular cook books and the teachers of the suc cessful cooking schools, with whom the best results are imperative, are careful to impress their readers and pupils with the importance of its exclusive employment. The Royal Baking Bowder is the greatest help of modern times to per-1 feet cooking, and every receipt requir ing a quick-raising ingredient should embody it. There h a Difference. The difference between dining and feeding is the difference between man and brute. The grandest old man on earth is credited with the statement that “one secret of the vigor of age is due to the habit of never allowing my self less than an hour for the pleasant business of dining.” To sit down to a well cooked dinner, daintily served in a bright, clean room, with a few con genial spirits, and the loved ones about the table, is one of the real pleasures of life.

Weigh With Their Eyes. The dealers in livo slock who buy and sell the thousands of cattle, hogs and sheep which are daily handled at the llourbon stockyards must be expert in guessing the weight of a livo animal at a glance. In conversation with a well known stockman a few days ago he explained why this is necessary: “It would be impossible to weigh the cattle in many eases because of the immense labor involved and the length of time it would take, while the mar ket price, which is subject to constant fluctuations, might easily vary from its hightest to its lowest limit while we were weighing the animals in one of our big sales. For instance, today, which has been the biggest day of the yeur thus far, there have been received at the llourbon yards over 'J.4UU head of cattle and about <1,000 hogs. Sup pose we had to drive all of those upon the scales to ascertain their weight? There are a dozen of old stock men who can inspect a herd of animals and form an estimate of their average weight which will bo readily accepted by pur chasers as the basis of a trade. “In a test case which was made some time since a man who has had a life long experience in buying and selling a herd of cattle, after inspecting a herd of S00 animals, guessed their average weight within one-third of a pound of the actual figure ascertained by weigh ing the cattle individually. "The feat wus accomplished by Hen I). Offutt of this county and is not so extraordinary as it appears, because similar instances of expert ‘guessing’ occur here every day.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. Dyed whiskers are like hypocrisy.
