The other evening nt n well-known hotel u nuinbiT of traveling men wcro spinning yarns , and the talk turned upon self-saerlllce and the privations * Kood friends hud undergonu to con tribute to the worldly success of nn as- Hoi-late. One solemn-faced mail told the following ; "I hud two sehoolnmtcs , " he began. "One of them wius aspiring to be a law yer nnd the other had aspirations for a high place In the medical profession. The college we attended WIIH one at which the discipline was severe and the requirements for graduating exact ing. Well , those two boys managed to worry along until the day of the Until examination came. The young law student had perfected himself In his studies and was likely to pass with high honors. The medical student , however , was In a far less enviable plight. lie found that the examination would be for the most part upon the anatomy of the leg , and this was the one branch of the course he had ne glected , lie conlldcd In his roommate and walled out his sorrows : " 'If I only had a leg to dissect , ' said he , 'I would pass that examina tion at the head of my class. ' "It was here that his roommate rose sublimely to the occasion , lie rolled up his trousers and insisted that his friend amputate his leg at the knee. His medical friend demurred , but thu law student Inshted , and llnally tlm amputation was performed and the medical student captured his diploma. "Years afterward this same doctof was .sitting in an ollk-o surrounded by all the evidence of a prosperous prac tice. The door opened , and In came hid old roommate at college. The greeting was , of course , affecting , and then the doctor Inquired how the lawyer was getting on In the world. The lawyer said he had been practicing several years In the potty affairs of the law and would rise to a distinction if he couhf secure a good case. 'I want a murder case , ' ' said ho. 'One that will attract special attention and Involve some well-known citizen. ' "Tho doctor excused himself , and , picking up a heavy poker , left the room. He proceeded down stairs and killed his landlady , resorting to all the atrocities that Ingenuity could devise to make his crime one that would cre ate a sensation , lie was successful. The papers teemed with the awful do- tails of the deed and the tragic events of the trial. Ills friend , the one-legged Inwyer , defended him aiul he was cleared. Uoth of those men occupy leading places In their professions to day.

The statement has frequently been made that It Is possible to cause grains of wheat found In ancient Egyptian Bcpulcherfl to germinate and grow. This btatemput has been disputed and the question was discussed at a recent mooting of the French Academy of Sciences. It was shown that while the albumen of wheat found In a tomb 0,000 years old had undergone no al teration the embryo was changed and could not be caused to germinate. Hut a fresh embryo placed In the ancient al bumen would grow , and thU fact , it was Bald , probably accounted for the btatemeut that the old Egyptian wheat rescued from ltlong entombment would sprout and grow.

" Yonkers States man. Wmiilrrrul Memory. Speaker Henderson told a Washing ton Post reporter a good story of ono of his initial experiences among public men In Washington. It was before he had been elected to congress , prob ably twenty-live years ago. Ulaine was then speaker. Natural ly he was one of the statesmen that General llendeison much desired to meet , and the opportunity came of a morning. Just as the speaker was pass ing through the lobby on his way to the marble rostrum. The formal ( 'leetinns were exchanged in a brief moment , and General Henderson was left to see the swinging doors close on the form of the republican leader. Six ycais 'later General Henderson again came \Vashiiigkm. . this time to get Iowa divided into i\\ > . judicial districts. lie put up at Wormley's , where Hlalnc aKu lived , it being in those days a fashionable and Iloulrsb- ing hostelry. A week or so after his' arrival from Iowa , as General Hender son was entering the dining room , he met Bhilne after having passed and rcpassed him many times. The Maine man grasped him cordially by the hand , called him by name and Inquired about Iowa. "J had heard about Speaker Hlaine's wonderful faculty for remembering names , " says. General Henderson. When I seated myself at the table J beconed to the head waiter. " 'Hasn't Mr. Illaine asked you my name ? ' J said to him. 'Now think hard and be sure of your answer. ' " 'Yes , sah , ' replied the waiter.He done called me ovuli las' night an' asked ' an' all ' . yo' name about yo' 1 told him you wasMistah Henderson. ' " Drink Plenty of W ter Hot water quenches thirst in most instances better than cold. Taken regularly at the rate of one glassful half an hour before meals it promotes digestion , and in catarrhal conditions of the stomach it is recommended by physicians. It has also been tried as a remedy for Insomnia. Constipation is frequently the result of an Inadequate supply of water.
