The Siren of La Frenaa
La Prensa Is the greatest and most
influential paper in South America Its
oflices are In Buenos Ayres Argentina
Bltuated lu a magulflcent building In
the Avenida This building 1b said to
be one of the most imposing in tho
world It has a tower crowned by a
great golden statue of a young -woman
representing the Spirit of the Press
The proudest possession of La Prensa
Is a 5000 horsepower steam operated
siren Whenever there Is an appalling
disaster the death of a crowned head
or other event of worldwide interest
whoop goes La Prensas siren and i9
heard for a -while throughout the city
The local government exacts a line for
this performance 100 per minute
with a minimum of 200 and if the
fine is not paid on the nail the charge
is double so when one man is sent to
operate the screecher another Is sent
running with a two hundred dollar bill
to the courts The next operation Is to
drape the above referred to young
womans torch with red velvet in case
of a catastrophe with crape in the
event of a death All this causes the
most extraordinary sensation
A Real Celebrity
The local pride of the natives of Cape
Elizabeth Me Is so intense that it
takes the attitude of pity for all who
have the misfortune to dwell else
where This says a writer In the Lew
Iston Journal Is known to regular
summer visitors and by most of them
is respected One rainy day a new
comer who had joined the gathering
In the store composed of fishermen and
summer visitors ventured to enumer
ate some of the distinguished men who
had come from Maine
Theres Longfellow he said and
Ilannlbal Ilamlin and James G
Blaine William Pitt Fessenden

Here an old fisherman looked up
from his work of splicing grass blades

SliootiiiKT From an Elephant
The elephants howdah is that bed
of Procrustes in which one can neither
sit nor stand with any approach to
reasonable case and in which a re
cumbent attitude is impossible says
Blackwoods Magazine Its advantages
are first that standing In it a man
can shoot on every side of liim second
that it is convenient for the carriage
of the occupants paraphernalia his
guns on racks on either side his am
munition in a trough in front his
other requisites in leather pockets here
and there on the sides of the machine
and his bed blanket on the seat and
third that in a hinder compartment
an attendant can stand to hold that
monstrous umbrella over his head or
when quick loading is required take
from his hand the gun just fired and
recharge it These are the advantages
Otherwise the howdah is an abomina
tion
Most Famous Saying
What is the most famous saying
ever made by man an editor asked
Some thought that Caesar some
thought that Socrates some that Lin
coln some that Nelson had said the
most memorable thing but finally the
palm was awarded to Euclid the
mathematician
Euclid went to Alexandria to teach
Ptolemy ter the king of Egypt
mathematics Ptolemy plodded at his
problems a week or two and then
asked Euclid impatiently if there was
not some special shorter way by which
he could be taught
Sire Euclid answered there is no
royal road to learning

Here is an excellent catch Ingenu
ously ask any friend or acquaintance
the meaning of a in and p m You
will receive some such answer as
Why morning and afternoon or Be
fore dinner and after dinner or Up
to 12 oclock high noon and after 12
high noon or From midnight to noon
and from noon to midnight or Ante
meridian and post meridian before and
after noon It is a conservative wager
that every one to whom the question is
put will stake his happiness on the
word meridian while the correct word
is meridiem Ante meridiem and post
meridiem are abbreviated to a m and

Paying Him Baelr
Will you please pull the bell said

Xo madam but I shall be glad to
pull the cord which rings the bell he
answered
Oh never mind she said The
cord is connected with two bells front

A CHOICE BY THE PEOPLE
Senator CulIomN Victory Under a
Direct Nomination Iarr
The senatorial contest lu Illinois this
year Is of more than ordinary Interest
because It is the first time that the
new law providing practically for the
choice of United States senators by
direct popular vote has been tried The
Republican primary elections recently
held virtually decided the question of a
successor to Senator Shelby M Cul
loin Three candidates were voted for
dny
- W0mS
snniiHT si ouiiLoii
at these elections Mr Cullom ex-Governor
Richard Yates and William G
Webster The Democrats had no can
didate for senator The voters at the
primaries of both parties were privi
leged to say by their ballots Avho
should be their nominees from senator
and congressman down to sheriff In
the case of the senatorship the Re
publican voters decided to retain Mr
Cullom in the seat which he has occu
pied so long The legislature is usu
ally Republican and In case the next
body is of that complexion the major
ity will be bound morally if not legal
ly to respect the instructions given
at the primaries
Senator Cullom is one of the veter
ans of the senate He was born in
1829 and has been in politics fifty
years for he was a presidential elector
on the Fillmore ticket in 1S5G He en
tered congress in 1SG5 and was pro
moted to the senate in 1SS3 when he
succeeded David Davis independent
Democrat
Senator Culloms father was a farm
er The schools of that time did not
provide the youth of young Culloms
vicinity with advanced educational op
portunities and when the future sen
ator decided on the law as his profes
sion the question arose how to obtain
the funds for seeking instruction at
schools distant from his home He pre
vailed upon his father to lend him a
team of oxen and a plow and with this
primitive outfit began the battle of
life on his own responsibility and en
gaged at breaking prairie at 2 per
acre He earned enough in this way to
begin the pursuit of advanced studies
and prepare for his public career

Stammer to Yonvnelf
To the many correspondents who
have written Inquiries and suggestions
ns to a cure for stammering we may
state that tills Is not a medical bu
reau This writer gave his own meth
od of curing his own particular nerv
ous disorder which is probably
shared by many of his fellow men Let
It bo repeated in answer to many who
seem to have seen the problem and
missed the solution Consume jour
own smoke If jou must stammer try
to stammer to yourself When you
have tut tutted and gur gurred suffi
ciently to yourself you will be ready
with the word It Is quite astonishing
how soon the inaudible stammer be
comes unnecessary and the word Is
whipped out But there are some men
who hug a stammer stammering al
ways in the right place lifting curi
osity to tiptoe In the listener Charles
Lamb stammered but always In the
right place as when he went to buy
cheese tho story may be quite untrue
The shopman offered to send it home
Lamb Inspected it Then he asked for
a bit of string I think he said I
could it home London
Spectator
Not a Clothe Pen
Peggie Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years and had
not grumbled much when her wages
were occasionally passed over But as
time went on and her salary fell more
and more into arrear she ventured to
ask for something on account
Why havent I paid you your wages
lately Peg now careless of me
her mistress said Im sorry I havo
no money in the house just now but
heres a smart cloak that Ive ceased to
wear and which is only a wee bit out
of fashion Youll take it In lieu of
wages wont you
No maam Im sure I shant said
Peg wrathfnlly eying the faded old
cloak A peg I may be by name but
I wont be the sort of peg that peoplo
hang castoff clothes on not if I know

The following passage is from the
Adventurer No 35 March G 1753
On Sunday last a terrible fire broke
out at Lady Brags occasioned by the
following accident Mrs Overall the
housekeeper having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber notwithstanding she had
changed chairs f urzed the cards and or
dered Jemmy the footboy to sit cross
legged for good luck grew out of all
patience and taking up the devils
books as she called them flung them
Into the fire and the flames spread to
the stewards room
Swabbers are the ace of hearts the
knave of clubs and the ace and the
deuce of trumps at whist To furz or
fuzz is to shuflle the cards very care
fully or to change the pack London
Notes and Queries
Why Rnln Clouds Are Blaelc
The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer It
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops of moisture
which go to form the cloud Heavy
rain clouds on the other hand are
found much nearer the earth and so
the light falls on them more directly
from above giving a silver lining to the
cloud though the undersurface ap
pears black owing to the complete re
flection and absorption of the light by
an observer in a balloon the blackest
rain clouds appear of the most dazzling
ly brilliant white
Tennis nnd Lawn Tennis
There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi
cal In America tennis the mother
game is always known as court ten
nis whereas lawn tennis is gener
ally known as tennis The garner
are in many respects very dif
ferent The court which in lawn
tennis is open in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls and
almost invariably above by a roof
There is a considerable amount of play
off the back and side walls Tho balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls be
ing in fact of the consistency of
cricket balls Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker Frys
Magazine
Souths and Sentiment
It is a singular fact that in propor
tion to the wealth of melody of a na
tion so does its emotional side develop
Remarkable instances of this are to be
found in the United Kingdom In
Scotland Ireland and Wales countries
rich in national songs the emotional
nature is strong In England where
the melodies if sweet at any rate are
not so touching and appealing senti
ment Is slight Liverpool Courier
The History of Man
The ecclesiastical authorities divide
the history of man into six ages First
from Adam to Noah second from
Noah to Abraham third from Abra
ham to David fourth from David to
the Babylonish captivity fifth from
the captivity of Tudah to the birth of
Christ sixth from the birth of Christ
to the end of the world

The Better
Way
The tissues of the throat are
inflamed and irritated you
cough and there is more irrita

a cough mixture and it eases the
irritation for a while You take
SCOTTS

what is necessary It soothes the
throat because it reduces the
irritation cures the cold because
it drives out the inflammation
