JOHN W GATES AND THE CAB
Little Gambling Episode in Which
Watch Me Was Able to Say
You Lose Three Times
A Gates anecdote that never got
so far as it deserved if it was true
was about his riding down town from
a New York hotel in a cab with a stock
market friend
Ill match you said John Watch
me to see whether you or I buy this
horse and cab from the driver if its
his
It was cabbys so they matched
and John Watch me had the satisfac
tion of saying You lose The bar
gain struck John Watch me had an
other proposition to offer the new
owner
Now Ill match you he said to
see whether you keep the outfit or
whether you sell it hack to cabby at
his own price And once more John
Watch me said You lose
Here it dawned upon Gates com
panion that in the last match John
Watch me had stood no chance to lose
whichever way it went and he made
remarks
All right said John Watch me
Ill match you to see whether you or
I stand the difference between the
buying and the selling price For
what he had just sold cabby would
only give a buying price that was just
100 less This was the stake in the
last match and for the third time
John Watch me was able to say You
lose
TWO MULES WITH HISTORY
The Only Hybrids in the Geographical
Service Are Sent to
Kauai
Two mules with a history were
shipped down to W B Hardy on the
Island of Kauai recently He is car
rying on the work of the geograph
ical and water research branch of the
I department there and it was found
that animal transportation was the
only way to meet the difficulties
There were only two mules in that
branch of the service and they were
over in California Likewise Hardy j
was the man who worked them over
there when he was on the mainland 1
Now he and his friends will be re
united on Kauai
The work of the department on that
island is arduous owing to the fact
that where the water runs are not al
ways roads Accordingly some means
have to be found by which the in
vestigator could get about He has a
saddle and pack and can ride the
mules as far as he can get them over
the tracks and then do the rst of th
Avork on foot The work necessitates
constant traveling of a rough sort
Honolulu Bulletin
Not a Cheap Buiiriing
It has been estimated that to re
build the pyramid of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure of
100000000 would be necessary and
the labor of 40000 men for two years
required
It has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 100000
men for thirty years
The pyramid occupies a space of
twelve and three quarters acres is 746
feet high and contains about 143315
000 cubic yards of stone and gran
ite
The material alone represents an
item of 36000000 while the labor
would increase this amount to 72
000000 To this must be added 3
000000 for tools transportation and
similar items
The pyramid Is built on a solid rock
150 feet deep and to build a founda
tion of this character would add to
the cost to the extent of making the
total of 100000000 Scientific Amer
ican
When Sleeping
It is well to sleep from infancy with
the head uncovered as the hair thus
retains its beauty longer On retiring
the hair should be raised high above
the ears without pulling plaited loose
ly in a single braid and tied with a
silk or cotton ribbon Avoid wearing
starched nightcaps as the starch is
injurious to the hair When old age
approaches it may be well to wear
nightcaps
Brush the hair well using a soft
brush on going to bed and in the
morning The best brushes are made
with short bristles If the hair is
combed from the roots downward
withoutbeing divided in several parts
much harm may be done to it The
hairs would certainly be broken off
become uneven and could never be
made to look cared for It is an ex
cellent thing to smooth the hair with
the hands
Cats Drive Off Snakes
For many years I have been running
a cattle station in Queensland where
snakes are tolerably numerous At
the head station we have always kept
up a standing army of from 15 to 20
cats and have been practically free
from the presence of snakes about the
building and yards
That this was owing to the presence
of our cats I have no doubt whatever
They were always on the lookout and
I have often seen members of our
feline body guard growling over dead
or dying snakes and have more than
once witnessed savage encounters be
tween them and their victims On
the other hand martyrs to their duty
were from time to time found dead
In the morning with all the evidence of
a fight and their defeat in the shape
of a snakebite on their bodies Spec
