"Not only is it very healthy to ..yawn," says a French physician, '"'hut .-artificial yawning hhoulil lie resorted to in cases of wire throat, buzzing of tho oars, catarrh and like troubles." ft is said to Iks as efficacious in its way as gargling tho throat, with which process it should bo combined. Tho reason stated is that during the sict of yawning there is considerable stretching of tho muscles of thephar yux and soft palate, which aro iu his way put through a sort of mas--sago, liesidos this, in tho act of pawning the throat tubes contract ..and drive into the pharynx tho mu .U3 that has accumulated. -New York Tribune. What I'apas An I'or. For the period "when the lamp is lighted, and it is not iniito ltcdtime," Ithe very best way to amuse littlo children is to have their piijui take them on his knee and tell them a story alKuit a bear, or an Indian, or "Tho Bold Sherilf of Chickasaw," or how the sailors catch whales. This is what papas are for at this particu lar hour, and the children like noth iug else so well. - Cor. New York lie erder. A Clodhopper. limit Editor That new society re jiorter won't do.

"An amusing incident of which 1 was a iiiet and satisfied ohserver haiiiened the other day," said a you:i attorney co:iin cted with the legal dej ai tment of one of the great railways "I was sent down in In diana to see what I could make out (if a case which tho consignee of some lumber had against us. The !u:nbcr had been billed to this man and sent do-.vn with a lot of other lumlier to men at the same place. By mistake the complainant's lum ber was given to the wrong person und was used, in consilience of which when the man demanded his limiher the agent was in a quandary. He could not deliver it Ixrauso he did not have it. Ho could not cause its return, liocauso it had leen con verted into houses. The case was dead ug..inst tho company, and tho least that I expected to do was to get the man to accept tho value of 'tho lum-iK-r. Tho plaintiff brought his suit in a justice court. Before the trial tho magistrate and tho plaintiff had some words on another matter. At any rate when tho complainant was placed upon tho stand ho was in a very angry frame of mind, but not against tho company. Therein lay my safety. " 'What is your name?' asked the justice. " 'Sir,' said tho complainant, be coming moro wroth. " 'What is your uaiuoK' again was asked. " 'My name is Charles White.' "'Where do you live?' was the next question. This added insult to injury. White thought tho justice wus trifling with him. " 'Just where I always livi d, ho hissed out; 'and you know blamed well,' ho added, and jumping down out of tho chair ho said, addressing his attorney: "Dismiss the case. I'll have nothing to do with this blamed court.' "The case was dismissed. I had won without saying a word. "Some remark was niado about costs. " 'Let him whistle for his costs,' White said in ho walked out of the court. " 'Why did you let your man dis miss his case J I asked White's law yer. " 'Ho would have fired mo if I had objected,' said tho shrewd practition er." Chicago Mail. Victualing (ilbraltar. The Gibraltar of today can only bo victualed by the good will of Spain. If we were unhappily at war with Spain und desired to victual tho place, we should first have to silenco the Spanish batteries round the bay, and if these batteries were construct ed as modern science enables them to bo constructed we certainly could not silence thorn, unless we landed, anil by slow and laborious methods captured them. This would practi cally involvo an invasion of Spain on a comparatively large scale, for until wo had fully effected our object Gib raltar would have to remain unre lieved. In the last century relief from si a ward could only be prevented bv way of tho sea.

If a bank in the city wishes to send a large amount of money to Po king, the banker scuds a gift to the chief of the banditti infesting the ter ritory through which tho money is about to pass, telling him the time the silver will 1k sent and requesting that it bo not disturbed. When such a request is made, accompanied by a handsome present, it i usually hon ored. These banditti are not the only roblicrs. The government is en gaged in the same business.

The dignitary known as drum ma jor was not generally recognized in the English army till the close of the reign of Charles I. Corporal punish ment up to the time of William 111 was executed by the provost marshal and his deputies, but afterward the drummer was intrusted with tho task.

One night Iiriu-iiuli invited several friends to sup with him after a per formance in Baltimore, and on reach icg hisapartnients found the table set and the waiters in readiness to liegin bringing in the dishes. Ho was ex tremely particular alxmt the appear ance of his table, and always took a critical view of the crockery, si! . ; linen, etc., lieforo inviting his friends to sit down, (hi this occasion his eaglo eye discovered several small holes in the tablecloth, and his auger was all attaine in an instant. Too full of wrath to speak, he caught hold of the corner of the cloth and gave ono long, quick jerk, clearing tho table completely and scattering knives, forks, spoons, plates, etc., all over the room. The astounded waiters ran to the proprie tor with the tale, and when he ar rived on tho scene there was (lunger in his eye. Brignoli knew he was in serious trouble, and forthwith brought into play all his cunning to get out of it. He pretended that the waiters had treated him in a most outrageous manner; that the tablecloth was not fit for a hog to eat off of; that the dinner was cold; that tho wines were warm in short, he made the proprietor believe that everything was just as bad as jiossible. Then ho began to mollify him by praising his house. How was it that ewry one he knew in tho whole United States had recommended it to him? How could it bo that good people thought so well of it? Evcrylody had told him that it was the only first class hotel in Baltimore. And this and this was the way a guest was treated 1 Surely there was some mistake. Tho landlord could not possibly know that ono of his guests had been so itnixised on I No first class house would submit to it! In short, tho wily old fellow mad' tho landlord thiuk him tho most abused man on earth, and they were soon the best of friends. The land lord himself attended to the setting of tho table. The best of everything in tho house was put on it, and an excellent dinner was served at his exiienso. Brignoli gave tho waiters $10 each for having hurt their feel iugs.-New York Tribune. A Juke of a Court Fool. The term fool is often misapplied. Thus, Charles the Simple was no fool, but a man of extraordinary simplicity and strength of mind and feeling. So Homer, when he called Telema chus a fool or "silly," did not employ tho word as a term of reproach, but of endearment. Tho court fool, or jester, was for merly nn important person in the households of kings and princes. His influence over his master was consid erable, and many clever sayings of fools are still iu existence. Charles the Simple had a joste named Jean, who one morning tried his master's nerves by rushing into his room with the exclamation: "Oh. sire, such news! Four thousand men have risen in tho city !" "What!" cried tho startled king. "With what intention have they risen ?" "Well," replied the jester, "prob ably with the intention of lying down again at bedtime." - Youth's Compan ion. lied Hair and Krei kles. Science explains tho phenomenon of red hair thus: "Itiscaused by asu lerabundance of iron in the blood. This it is that imparts the vigor, the elasticity, tho great vitality, the over flowing, thoroughly healthy animal life which runs riot through the veins of the ruddy haired, and this strong animal life is what renders them moro intense in all their emo tions than their more languid fellow creatures. The excess of iron is also the cause of freckles on the peculiarly clear, white skin which always ac companies red hair. This skin is ab normally sensitive to the action of the sun's rays, which not only bring out the little brown spots in abun dance, but also burn like a mustard plaster, producing a queer, creepy sensation, at if tho skin was wrin kling up." -Analyst. What Are We Coming To? The following is printed "for true in a London journal: Th house of a well known lady novelist was the other day observed to be shrouded in the gloom of drawn curtains and lowered blinds. Sym pathetic friends presently called to inquire what family affliction had taken place. They were admitted into the darkened drawing room, where, clad in deep mourning and holding a clean tocket handkerchief in her hand, tho lady novelist sat, weeping, upon the couch. A sympa thetic and inquiring murmur from the visitors elicited a fresh burst of tears as the lady sobbed forth: "Af fliction? Yes, I should think so. My hero is just dead !" The Hummed Hook. "The liorrowed book." What a text for a sermon, said a clever author. If I looks are borrowed, mar them not ; neither turn down the leaves, and, above all. be careful to return them in as good a state of preservation as when liorrowtMl. To write on the margins is unpardonable, vulgar, ill bred. Good Housekeeping. tint Work 1 to Die. Lalmr is misunderstood and even despised by too many people. It is, alwve all, looked down upon as drudgery to which ouo submits in order to get food. He who has food, it is thought, has no need for work: but he who has not must work of necessity. Both of these do harm I -distinguish two kinds of idlers those who are lazy and those who labor with complaining. It is time. then, to leestablish tho dignitv of work. How is ono to do it? By the fact that all should work without any exception. Having admitted that work is a law of life, it is impossible to find any pretext by which a man may l exemot from it. Ho who will not lalnir in the spirit of this su preme law is condemned to extinc tion. He will perish of internal dis ease, consumed by his imprisoned energies, which become transformed into jioison. When there is no movement, na ture cannot ierform her duty, and so rusts and corrupts. Aro you doing nothing, young man? That isenouvh. I would rather hear that you had the cholera, because that only kills and contaminates tho hotly. The dis ease of idhuess preying uion you will destroy the whole man. You aro not only infected yourself, but you constitute a center of infection. In a well organized society he who is convicted of an evil such as yours should bo condemned to death a death of public iufamy, a death by starvation. Tho man who has bread in abundanco and lives without work on tho labor of others, or ho who has no bread, but idly liegs it or steals, as may lmppen ho should know there- is no place for him in a world governed by the law of lalor and of joint responsibility. Ho falls from tho tree like tho dead leaves. "Jeu nesso" Wagner. St ron u ltooni of a Hunk. A strong room in a bank is an apart ment upon the construction of which a good deal of caroand ingenuity are expended. It is designed to givo so curity against firo, thieves and fall ing buildings. On the outsido are firebricks, in tho insido a lining of steel half an inch in thickness, and between the two aro 13 inches of solid concrete in which the iron ribs of tho structure are imbedded. The door is of great thickness, but that is not its most remarkable feature. The most ingenious cracksman would lie lucky if he discovered within a week the twists and turns by which it is made to withdraw its numerous and heavy Wilts. Then the making of tho keys would probably engage his attention anoth er week. Nor would this lie all. When lie got tho door opened, he would have a no less difficult task in getting 1-eyond tho ponderous steel bars which form an additional har rier. But before ho accomplished this electric liells would have announced his presence, and ero ho was aware of his danger he would wish that ho had not attempted so foolish an ex ploit- Exchange. Trading In riitiiKonia. It is a lucky thing for the natives of southern Bat agoni: that the navi gation of the Straits of Magellan is dangerous. Vessels often anchor in the straits for the night on this ac count, and this gives tho crooked legged natives a chance to come out in their canoes and trade with tho ship's company. The chief articles offered by tho natives are furs of va rious kinds, especially of the sea ot ter. These they sell for a trifle, nr more otteu barter for the few things they need. The best otter skins are worth as much ns $G00 to $700 when brought to civilized markets, but Patagonians offer only poor skins. New York Sun. Heads of disease Dr. Tierce'e Golden Med ical Discovery.
