••What’s the matter, Gerald P” ex
claimed hla horrified wife.
“The matterP” shouted the young
doctor, turning a handspring on the
parlor carpet, dancing a jig, throwing
his hat violently against the ceiling,
and stamping on it as it came down.
"The matter?” he repeated, catching
her round the waist and whirling her
in a mad waltz about the room. "Oh,
nothing—only my bottle of anti
toxine has just got here, I’m the only
doctor in fifty miles that has any, and
I have a lovely case of diphtheria
over in the next block!”
Wage* In Kouthorn Florida.
Remarkable stories are current ot
wages in Southern Florida, and it is
true that a skilled orange packer, boy
or man, can earn $1.50 a day, but the
employment is not permanent. It is
true, too, that $150 an acre has been
made in a single winter from toma
toes, but here again a little capital
and considerable knowledge are re
quired. It is unsafe to seek employ
ment in Southern Florida without
some sort of guarantee.
Musical South America.
Handel’s “Messiah” was recently
performed at Buenos Ayres, for the
first time in South America, with a
chorus of 300 and an orchestra of
fifty performers. Special trains were
run, the house was sold out an hour
and a half after the opening of the
box office and the proceeds were
$7,600. __
satisfied.
The form of the king shook slight
ly as he received the courier in the
anti-chamber. “And what says she?"
he demanded, anxiously. The cour
ier prostrated himself. “She says,
your majesty, that she can cook, but
she's no laundress.” The cloud on
the royal brow lifted as he waved his
hand to the secretary. “Engage
her,” he commanded, “and I’ll have
my collars and cuffs sent out.”

“Does Slopeigh get angry when yot
call on him with that bill?" asked
the merchant of his collector. “No,
indeed,” was the disconsolate reply.
“He’s as polite and crafty as he can be.
He says he has taken a great liking
to me, and he's afraid that if he pays
me I’ll stop coming to see him.”

Heart Disease 30 Yrs!
Short Breath, Palpitation.
Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of
Kokomo, Ind., and a brave ex-soldier,
says; “I had been severely troubled
with heart disease ever since leaving
the army at the close of the late war.
I was troubled with palpitation and
shortness of breath. I could not
sleep on my left side, and had pain
around my heart. I became so ill
that I was much alarmed, and for
tunately my attention was called to
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
I decided to try it The first bottle

■- Minnie*.
The story of the prompt rescue of
a “man overboard” at sea, in which a
prominent seafaring man of Philadel
phia figured, is told by a correspond
ent as follows: Nearly a quarter of a
century ago, the steamship Yasoo,
under the command of Captain L. D.
Barrett, of Philadelphia, was slowly
feeling her way down the harbor of
Havana Lighters were towing
alongside, and sailors and stevedores
and lightermen were hustling to get
the last package on board and still
get past the ‘Mono* before sundown.
Q The quartermaster was in the act
of striking eight bells when a shrill
shriek from aloft, followed by a
bounding body and a splash in the
sea, gave notice of a man overboard.
The captain promptly signaled the
engineer to reverse the engines. A
big white life buoy, always ready,
was well thrown by the long Purser
Metcalfe, and a rush was made for
the purser's gig. which was still hang
ing by her falls, the gripes not hav
ing been secured. As the drop of the
boat from her falls was heard, a
shrill whistle came over the waters,
and the men buckled to their oars,
shouting encouragingly to the swim
mer. By ’this time the powerful en
glnes had overoome the headway and
the ship was backing as fast as the
boat pulled, so that when the man
and buoy were picked up they were
almost alongside, and the boat and
crew were lifted to the rail by the
run.
“Oh! I am all broke to pieees,”were
the first words from the sea-soaked
man. “Well, we’ve got the pieoes,
go ahead with the ship,” was the cap
tain’s answer. “Seven minutes, sir,’’
was reported by the quartermaster.
“Seven minutes,sir,” from the engine
room, and the crew went back to
their duty after Beven minutes of the
sharpest work ever done under the
circumstances.
HIS NAME IS “O.”
Another Frenchman’* Surname Ie “E.
F. G.,” Hothlnf More.
A young soldier in the French army,
who lately volunteered in the service,
rejoices in the distinction of haring
what would appear to be one of the
oddest names on record. The unlucky
lad is named Adolph Maximilien E. F.
G., these three letters of the alpha
bet being all he can boast of as a sur
name.
The recruiting Bergeant severely
reprimanded the young volunteer for
disrespectful joking when he spelled
out his abbreviated patronymic, and
was only convinced that the appella
tion was bona fide when the lad
showed him his papers.
It seems, however, that there are
queerer names than & F. G. For
instance, a wine merchant living in
the suburbs of Paris is called Mon
sieur O.
The name, by the way, is met with
in Normandy, where a family was
once known who bore the name d'O,
with the title of marquis A member
of the family, Francis d’O, was super
intendent of finance under Henry III
of France.
One-letter patronymics, however, are
not so uncommon as might be sup
posed. There are said to be five per
sons in Paris whose names are of this
abbreviated type.
SHE WOULD NOT TALK.
After Eighteen Months the Lawyers Bad
to Give Mrs. Meyer Up.
Mrs. Henry C. F. Meyer, who was
discharged from the tombs in New
lont recently, is u living euutruuic
tion of the theory that “women will
talk.” She would not talk. Able
lawyers and sharp men whose busi
ness in life is to trip up the guilty or
the innocent with equal facility, have
tried to get her to make disclosures
with equally discouraging results.
Her husband is in Sing Sing
on a life sentence for poison
ing Ludwig Brandt, and she has
spent eighteen months in jail
in the hope that evidence could be
procured to prove her an accessory to
the crime, but through it all Mrs.
Meyer has been as stolid and as im
passive as if .she had never heard of
the case. She has not even defended
herself. During her imprisonment
her 4-year-old boy was brought to see
her at regular intervals. She was
ever ready to talk about him and ex
patiate on his beauty and his wonder
ful knowledge of French, bat on any
thing else evenly remotely eonnexsted
with her husband’s imprison me nit and
her own custody or the causes which
led up to them she was as stoical as
a Japanese idol.
A Hint Jiot Well Taken:,
A precocious and talkative boy it
Tioga, who always places himself ia.
evidence, no matter in whose com
pany, received a motto from his
father, which bore the legend: “Little
children should be seen and not.
heard.” The boy was not particularly
pleased with the gift, but finally con
sented to have it hung on the wall of
his room. Recently his father had
occasion to visit the room and the*
motto was missing. The youngster
was carefully interrogated, and with
an air of conscious well doing, he
answered: “I gave it to the deaf and
dumb children in the asylum at>
Mount Airy.”
Thirty-Six Tons of Caterpillars.
Thirty-six tons of caterpillars and &
large number of cocoons were de
stroyed in the effort to drive the pest:
from the young plantations of trees:
on Heng Kong island. They ap
peared on the pine trees with which:
the government is [trying to re-forest,
the island, and lasted for two months.
Stations were established where the>
caterpillars were received and paid!
for by weight. This method seems t»
have been successful. It is estimated,
that 35,000,000 insects were killed.
« HA* a HARD HIAtk .„4„u
1h» mnWi Dam* at Those lit Is Ilk#
a Sleds# Dammar.
"Speaking of knockers," said Ed
Coyne, who for the last ten years has
been keeper of Daisy, the giant gi
raffe at the Cineinnati soo, "do yon
know that the giraffe U the original
and natural knocker? Look at that
long, slender neck, and the lumpy,
bony head at the end of it. It re
minds you of a sledge-hammer, and
that is what it is In fact When Daisy
gets excited she begins knocking;
that is, she throws her head from
side to side, using it like a hammer
and dealing fearful blows with cer
tain aim. If any other person beside
myself should enter her stall he
would get a blow from her head that
would knock him senseless, anu
then she would trample and kiok
him to death. The animal has
but a small brain and can
not be reasoned with. The only
way to get along with her is to be
quiet and not got her excited. I can
do about as I please with her. I enter
the stall at all times, feed her, and
brush her oft every day. She is a
clean beast, and gives but little trou
ble. A new keeper would have a
hard time with her, as she knows me
and will not lpt a stranger do any
thing for her."
The observant beast was standing
at the other end of the stall, looking
out of the window at a man who was
walking on the hotel poroh, but on
hearing her name called out, she
came over and stuok her head out of
the wire lattice and looked at the
keeper with a bright look in her face.
Daisy is the largest giraffe in captiv
ity. She and her departed partner
were bought by the zoo fourteen
years ago. There was one offspring,
but it died a few dava after birth.
IT WAS AN AWFUL SHOCK.
Not 10 Mach the Coincidence m the Ac
tant Return of the Fifteen Dollar*.
"Here is one of the odd coincidences
of this life," said Williams. "Some
time ago an acquaintance came to me
and told me he was in great need of
915, and at considerable trouble to
myself I let him have it He promised
to return it in a few days.
“When three weeks had elapsed I
mentioned the matter to him casually
and he was profusely apologetic—
would send it to me the following day
sure. It didn't come, though, nor did
I get any word from him. About two
weeks after I met him in Broadway.
He declared it was a shame I hadn’t
got my money and vowed he wouldn't
let another day pass without paying
me.
It went along, then, for a week or
ten days, and as my expenses were
very heavy, I was considerably em
barrassed and needed the money
badly. One night, when I was feel
ing particularly discouraged, I sat
down and wrote him a note. I said:
“My dear sir—About six weeks ago I
loaned you $15. Lest the paying of
it should occasion you any inconven
ience allow me to hereby make you a
present of the money.’
“That will bring it if anything will,
thought I. Judge my surprise when
by the next morning's mail I received
a letter from the man inclosing the
915. By the same mail exactly he
must have received mine making him
a present of it, and by the dates both
letters were evidently written at
ibout the same hour."
A Case of Spontaneous Ignition.
The fact is well known that petro
leum spirit, or benzine, is largely
used in the silk and wool industries
ana in cnemicai cleaning1 worus as a
solvent for greasy impurities. It is
extremely volatile and inflammable,
and has often been suspected of being
the cause of those mysterious fires
which occasionally break out in
works and factories where it is much
used. One who has studied this phe
nomenon declares that the ignition
of this spirit is spontaneous, and is
caused by electrical excitation—that
is, in certain states of the atmosphere,
particularly when it is cold and dry,
the spirit becomes excited and ex
hibits sparks and flashes of lights to
the accompaniment of crackling
sounds, and the ignition of the spirit
may take place at any moment.
He Loved Doe*.
Monsieur X called the other day at
a house where the love of dogs was
carried almost to a mania. He was
immediatel) surrounded by half a
dozen of these animals, whose cares
ses, too demonstrative altogether, he
repelled vigorously. “Ah, monsieur,”
said the lady of the mansion, in a
tone of displeasure, “one can see very
well that you don’t love dogs.” “Not
love dogs indeed!” he returned, in
dignantly. “Why, I ate more than
twenty dogs during the siege of
Paris!”
