Pin. HKiiniiii of Rev. Hates at
funeral of Mrs. K. H Smith was a
model for f uncial discourses. Tho
chinch Wk.'- crowded and ministers are
too apt to avail themselves of tho oc
casion of un unusually largo audience
to Bhow how long and nrgumentatlwly
they can talk. They are apt to thliik
of themselves and the einpressloti or
their ability they can create, instead
of the dead and the son owing rela
tives and frltnulH. Rev. Hates did uot
talk to exceed ten minutes and hlrf "re
marks weicoonllned to the character
of Mrs. Smith as a "patient, faithful,
wife, a devoted mother and a constant
friend."
Having said the words appropriate
to tho suhject and the occasion, lie had
the good sense to stop and kleave the
effect of his brlof eulogy unspoiled by
tiresome repetitions and tedious cir
cumlocutions. The entire sermon
.
could have becirprlnted In less than a
column of the Chief. The Chief has
spoken before of the absurd practice of
preaching Idg discourses, In private
bouse while the men aroobllged to
wait outside, where they,, can hear
nothing and would not appreciated if
they could hear. If a rtnnon is to be
preached, let It bo in n church aud let
it be coutlned to the feharaotor of the
deceased.

Journal of tho American Medical Ahso

that tho slno nua non of longevity' is
n certain amount "of time Bpcnt In tho
country
"Tho city child Is subject to a num
ber of disturbing conditions othor than
mero nhsenco of creaturo comforts,
which undermine tho constitution by
throwing too heavy a buiden on tbp
sense organs, through which oxhaun-

and unending sequencer! of Incidents
exhausting tho attention to which aro
superadded the phynkul discomforts!
of vitiated nlr umuvla from human be
ings and waste orgunlc product, ba-
sides offensive gases and infection
laden duet.
"To attuln old ase we bate to re
lieve ourselves from worry, strain and
anxieties, withdraw periodically from
tho whirl of effortful exlitence, modify
our diet, omit tho ueo of ntlniulants
and narcotics, and spend reasonably
long periodB of time under pleasant
conditions In practical retirement.
Abovo all, amusement should be pirn
plltled nnd accepted rather than
sought after. Only vegotablo and
Bcnil-animnl foods should bo eaten."
Frederick VII. of Denmark Unable to
Appreciate Sentiment That Was
Part of Violinist's Being.
In writing of her experiences in
America, Madamo do Hagcrmann-Lln-dencrono
tolls of the arrival at Cam
bridge of Ole Hull, tho famous vio
linist: "Olo Hull (tho great violinist) has
tnken James Russell Lowel's house In
Cambridge. Ho is remarried and lives
hero with his wife and daughter. Ho
has a magnificent head, and that broad,
cxpanslvo smile which seems to belong
to geniuses. Liszt had ono like it.
"Ho and Mrs. Hull come horo often
on Sunday evenings, nnd sometimes ho
brings his violin. Mrs. H. accompanies
him. and ho plays divinely. There Is no
violinist on earth that can compare
wl'h hln. There may bo many who
have as brilliant a technique, but nono
who has bin feu uacie and tho tre
mendous magnetism which creates
such enthusiasm that you are carried
away. Tho sterner sex pretend tnat
they can resist him, but certainly no
woman can.
"Ho li verv nroud of showing tho
diamond In his bow, which wns given
him by tho king of Sweden.
"Ho loves to tell tho story of KIl-i
Frederick VII. of Denmark, who paid
to him: 'Whore did you learn to play
tho violin? Who was your teacher?'
"Olo Hull answered, 'Your majesty,
tho pine forests ot Norway and tho
beautiful fjords taught me!'
"Tho king, who had no feeling for
such high-flown sentiments, turned to
ono of his aides-de-camp and suld, 'Sllc
ken vrovl!' dhu Danish for 'What rub
bish!" Harper's Magazine.

"Attract tho nttentlon of tho pub
lic," Is the secret of salesmanship in
virtually every line. Next comes tho
merit of the Eooda. Upon the lnttor
ilninnda whether the dealer holds his
trade. Many Ingeuloim methods aro
employed In salesmanship. The art
becomes closely related to human ua
ture. An Albany cigar dealer has dem
onstrated explicitly jUBt how Mr the
eyo enters into the queBtlon. Ho
dlHeovered ho was stocked with a
brand of cigarettes that wero prov
ing "stickers." Instead of reducing tho
price and consaquontly losing money,
or brlv clearlnu at cost, he devised
a new method. He ranged a half
do'on boxes along tho top of his show
cacre. Each was Inclosod In a glaeo
cr.se of its own. Naturally tho at
tention of the customer was attracted
by their Individuality.
Those cigarettes were ulsposeu or
at a profit. That Albany cigar dear
nr dlRrnvurort something that Is mak
ing money for him. That little idea of
Individuality ho is applying to every
lino of hla goods that incline to "o
slow."

An amusing story is being told of a
clergyman who was being entertained
over a week-end by one of the well-to-do
but plalnmen of a Lancashire town
not far from' Manchester.
As soon as 'the guest was settled by
the fireside on the Sund. evening
his host aiksd him: "Are you a tee
totaller?" "Well, no: not exactly,' the clergy
man admitted.
Tho master of tho house received
tho statement with obvious relief.
"Ah'm relght glad to hear It," he
said; "we'n had that sort stayln with
us aforo. Now, if yo'd been ono o'

Cure for Mushroom Poisoning.
A cure for mushroom poisoning dis
covered by Dr. 'Louis. Olivier, one of
tho most -distinguished chemists ot
France, has Just been presented be
fore tho Society of Comparative Path
ology. After a demonstration that
mushroom poisoning destroys the red
rnrnusclcB of the blood, he stated that
his neutralizing arent was a serumi
from a sheep. The preparation was
extremely simple. He drew the blood
from a sheep and allowed it to coagu
late, the liquid resulting being his
serum. This be lnjectsd into the Ttins
of a human being. In tne country dis
tricts of France there are annually
hundreds of seriouB cases 'of mush
room poisoning, which the societynow
hopes may be easily cured.
Church and State.
There Is a very emphatic provision
in tho constitution of the United StateB
against any union of church and state
in this nation. Article 1', amendment
1, reads as' follows: "Congress shall
mako no law respecting au establish
ment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of tho press, or
tho right of tho peoplo peaceably to
assomble, and to petition the govern
ment for redress of grievances." Un
do Sam has his own religion and he Is
willing for everybody else to have
theirs, but he will not enter into co
partnership with any religion. Chica
