NOT PEPPERMINT BUT STRONG
.Illiterate Man Wat Not to Be Con
vinced That He Had Really
Smelt Nothing.
At a certain northern Chautauqua
putherlng last summer a lecturer, at
fho opening of his address, came, to
;lio front of the platform and took i
f mall vial from his pocket.
"My friends," ho said, "beforo I be
Kin my address, 1 wish to test tho ven
tilation of this auditorium. I am go
ing to pour out this oil of peppermint.
When tho odor reaches you, raiso your
hands, so that I may see how rapidly
it travels."
1 Ho emptied tho vial, and almost in
stantly several hands on tho front
benches went up; then farther back
tho hands began to go up by the
dozens, until at last the people- In the
last seats caught the odor, and raised
Ithelr hands.
The lecturer thanked his auditors,
and went on with his address. When
lie had almost finished, and was speak
ing of tho effect of tho imagination on
our senses, he paused, and said with n
smile that it was only clear water he
had poured out of his vial. '
' Tho audience had been caught so
neatly that even thoso who had held
up their hands joined in tho laugh.
,nut one illiterate, fellow, whose hand
had gone up more promptly and em
phatically than any other, did not qulto
'understand.
"What they laughln at?" ho asked,
.audibly, of the man sitting beside him.
"Why." explained tho man, "you did
not smell peppermint at all; It was
only Imagination."
"Well." said tho other, "I knowed It
was somethlV that smclled mighty
strong." Youth's. Companion.
LITTLE KNOWN OF HEREDITY
Much Talk on the Subject, But World
Still Awaits a Satisfactory
Explanation.
There are few subjects on which so
much "scientific" nnnsenno Is talked
,and written as on heredity. Not very
much Is known of it as regards
plants, less of animals, and almost
nothing as regards humanity, writes
If. Ficldlng-Hall In tho Atlantic. To
read books on heredity, especially
those of tho Kugenlc society, is to read
a mass of suppositious and hazardous
Inductions where most of tho facts
aro negative, and only the exceptions
nro positive. Tho very meaning of
"hereditary" Is not understood. If any
qunlity Is truly hereditary, then it is
always hereditary. It never occurs
except ns tho results of heredity, and
lit is constant, that Is to say, It in
variably follows. Hut there Is no
quality of which this can bo said.
'That genius is not hereditary is
known. Even talent is not. Nor is
'any aptitude A lawyer's son more
often wants to be a soldier or an art
ist than a lawyer, notwithstanding the
environment, and it Is so with most
professions. The exceptions seem to
bo duo to training and influenco, not
,to any hereditary transmission. A
superficial likeness to parents seems
(hereditary, but that is nil that we can
Assert, aud that outward likeness by
no means Infers an Inward likeness.
There Is nothing to nttributo to hered
ity what is duo to training or want of
training. It excuses suplncncss in
governments and professions.
Without Food Twe,nty-elght Days.
A remarkable feat of Involuntary
fnBtlng was performed 12 years ngo
by a corporal In n regiment of Fronch
colonial Infantry. On his way to work
one morning a man henrd cries pro
ceeding from a dlsusod mlno, near
.Ilrest. At tho bottom of an excava
tion nearly 100 feet deep Corporal
Andre Desrats was found in so weak
a condition that ho could "hardly artic
ulate a word. When ho recovered his
rescuers learned that, after accident
ally falling Into tho mlno, Desrats had
been imprisoned for twenty-eight
days without anything to eat or drink.
Hut n pig can beat n man. Dr. W.

Of Course.
A Now York dramatic writer tells
of an actress of great popularity who
is just beginning to bo obsessed with
tho notion that tho public holds her
'to bo older than she really is.
Tho writer was assigned to Inter
view this playor. Ho wished to ob
tain her views with referenco to the
state of tho drama, a topic whereon
tho actress did not seem particularly
anxious to decant.
"It does not seem to mo," gently
suggested tho intervlowor, with a
smile, "that I am really ascertaining
your opinion. You ought to bo frank,
sinco your eyes are gray and"
"Prematurely so, my dear boy, pre
maturely so," tho actress hastened to
assuro him. Judgo.
Walking at Billiards.
"I flguro out," said ono of tho bil
liard experts playing In tho champion
ship games, "that I walk throe miles
when I play -100 points. Of couiso,
sometimes I do less than that, pro
vided my avorngo runs by nursing aro
larger. When I can keep tho balls
closely togother for a good run, that
lessons the distance I have to walk."
This cue artist said he onco made
100 polntB and did not circlo tho table
half a dozon times. Moro-amazing
still was tho assertion that ho had
seen tho lato Jacob Schaofor run 1E0
points wlttrout going oven onco entire
ly around tho table.

THINGS THAT ALMOST HAPPEN
Steamboat Captain Tells Why HI
Hair In Nearly White, Though
He Never Had an Accident.
"It Is tho things that almost Inp
pon which rnuso gray, hairs In thin
business rather than tho things that
actually occur," said n veteran cap
tain of an excursion boat to a Now
'York Sun nnu.
"When I w.t thlrty-threo years old
1 was running a boat to Coney Island.
On ono occasion, In tho lower hay, fog
settled down thicker than mush. I
hold a compass course and everything
went smoothly enough until it was al
most time to chango tho courso and
head from tho bay toward Coney. I
had heard a boat by its whistlo I
knew it waB a towing tug pass mo
further up tho bay.
"Even though I could not see the
bow of my boat, I was hanging with
my head out of the pilot houso win
dow and straining my eyes to see,
when my quartermaster, who was
standing on tho very peak of tho
bow?"calIed for me to reverse I rang
for full speed astern and threw the
wheel hard to port.
"The fog lifted for an Instant and
.dead ahead of mo I saw a scow with
'Dynamite' written on Its sldo and a
red flag floating above It. I kept tho
wheel hard over and It seemed to mo
tho engineer wns nn eternity In get
ting tho englno reversed. We just
grazed tho scow. I learned afterward
that it had been In tow of n tug and
that tho hawser broke and the tug
crow had lost sight of tho scow In
,tho fog.
"When I got homo thnt night my
.wife pointed out a gray hair tho drat
I had ever had.
"In all my experience 1'vo never
.had a serious accident, hut ns you peo
I have a head -full of gray hairs
cnuscd by things that nlmo3t happened."

Explaining How the Pugilist Was Ablo
to Get Hla Car Through Jam
Where Others Failed.
Kid McCoy diovo down In hies largo,
shiny motor. A friend accompanied
him. Coming up thu aveuuo was a
Hock of hooting cars. It f.cenied im
possible for McCoy to Hud n way
through.
"iMt'a turn down a sldo street, Kid,"
said tho friend. "We'll uiako by it."
"Watch mo." said McCoy.
Ho turned his head to ono sldo, and
looked Into tho eyes of tho alarmed
friend. Ho drove his car right at tho
npproachiug covey. Their drlvora sot
up a quacking like a lot of frightened
ducks. McCoy drove on, without look
ing at tho road ahead. All the other
cars pulled to ono side and made way
for him. As he passed, all the other
drivers leaned out of their cars to
make injurious commont upon Mr.
McCoy.
"Get your bluff In first," said McCoy.
"That's tho rule in llfo that nppllos to
motoring ns well as to fighting. If I'd
dropped back and honked timidly ev
ery ono of thoso guys would havo
crowded me a llttlo farther Into tho
curb. IJecauso they thought I was a

Aborevlatlon Gone Mad.
There aro peoplo in this country
who havo so much respect for Its gov
ernment and Institutions that they al
most consider thoso guilty of treason
who spell tho capital of tho country
'"W-a-s-h." It Is all they can do to
restrain themselves when they get a
letter dated "Wash., D. C." They
would just as soon see ono addressed
to "Hos., Mass.," although Halt, Md.,
or Plilla., Pa., docs not offend so much.
Nobody but a human sloth would
think of writing on his cnvnlopo
"Chic, 111.," or "Huff.. N. Y." Yet tho
prnctlco of unauthorized contraction
has grown to such an o::tcnt thnt It Is
high time that businr.3s houses lay
down the law, ns found in tho hack
part of nenrly any dictionary, against
tho practice. And If you rollow tho
.feelings of tho purists In spelling,
you'd dock tho man or woman a wholo
day's pay who Is so utterly dead to
patriotic instincts ns to nddross a

Upstair Backward.
Walking upsto'rB backward is urged
by a London physician as a useful
practice in oases of heart weakness
and as helping In a moro equal dis
tribution of muscular wear and tear.
'Firstly and most important," ho
anys," "walking upstairs backward
would prevent any tendency to hurry.
No matter how inveterate a 'stair
rush' a man night bo, ho would hnvo
to moderato his paco if going back
ward. This enforced deliberation
would, of courso, bo of great vulue In
heart disease. Tho second effect would
bo to relievo tho Btraln from tho oidl
,nary walking and climbing muclcs
(thoso on the front or tho thigh) and
to press into service thoso on tho
hnck of tho leg, which ordinarily do
no work In climbing stairs. Tho total
result, therofore, might bo a saving
'In muscular wear and tear through a
moro economical distribution of ef
fort. ThlB, of course, would also bo
of value in cases of heart weakness."
