Give Him a Chance to Vote.
Tho ebrordriee of our vice presidents
are notoriously barren of incident
This probably was the reason for the
way Adlai Stevenson secured the ex
ercise of a constitutional prerogative.
It was one sleepy * day toward the end
of his term as vice president. The
United States senate was plowing
through the calendar and passing many
bills. Bills are considered agreed to
In the senate If no oral objection is
raised after they have passed through
the preliminary stages , but the usual
form of asking for the jeas and nays
Is followed by the presiding officer.
The vice president had said :
"Senators in favor of the bill will say
'AyePause. . "Contrary , 'No. ' "
Not a single response.
"The vote is a tie , " announced Mr.
Stevenson.
The senator in charge of the bill
paused on his way to the cloakroom
find looked surprised.
"In case of a tie the vice president
may cast the deciding vote. In the ex
ercise of his constitutional privilege
the vice president votes 'Aye , * " - New
York Times.
Insomnia and "Nervonsneis.
There can be no doubt that many
persons suffer from insomnia which
had its origin , or at least its principal
strength , in their own nervous appre
hension that they are or are about to
be afflicted with it. Any one of a doz
en causes may induce wakefulness ,
and yet the person lying in bed with
the faculties alert at the moment when
they would naturally be expected to
be wrapped in slumber has nine times
out of ten or ninety-nine times in a
hundred nothing serious to apprehend.
[ The stomach may not be in quite its
normal condition , and there is no more
potent cause of wakefulness.
Now , an hour ten minutes even-
seems a long time in the middle of the
night when a person wishes to be sleep
ing and cannot. If a sensation of
dread , of apprehension , is allowed to
enter the mind , such a period simply
becomes interminable. The nervous
apprehension increases the difficulty ,
and , feeding upon itself , the derange
ment may quite possibly increase till it
becomes a dangerous malady.
The Suitor.
Once upon a time a young man fell
desperately in love with a girl who
consumed many sweets as also many
after theater suppers at his expense.
He gave her numerous presents and
spent a large proportion of his salary
for her pleasure.
Finally they were married , and trou
ble began , for the man could not spend
as much on his wife as he had on his
fiancee. Then she treated him cruelly
and in an unwifely manner , and he
brought suit for a divorce from her.
The court granted his petition , but de
creed that he should pay costs and ali
mony.
Moral. He who goes to court must
pay the costs. New York Herald.
His Pension.
A negro man went into Mr. E.'s of
fice for the purpose of instituting a di-
rorce against his wife. Mr. E. pro
ceeded to question him as to his
grounds for complaint. Noticing that
the man's voice failed him. Mr. E.
looked up from his papers and saw
that big tears were running down over
the cheeks of the applicant for divorce.
"Why , " said the lawyer , "you seem
to care a great deal for your wife ?
Did you love her ? "
"Love her , sir ? I jest analyzed her ! "
This was more than professional dig
nity could withstand , and Mr. E. laugh
ed until the negro , offended , carried
his case elsewhere. Short Stories.
The Value of Fain.
When ether was first discovered and
used in surgery , it was said that to
abolish pain would be to change the
laws of nature herself ; that pain is a
safeguard ; that it indicates in cases of
Injury the seat of injury and in some
instances the cause of injury ; that if
men learned to minimize or prevent it
at pleasure they might annul It alto-
gether and invent a new constitution
in which this sentinel of danger would
be at all timei off duty.
A Strange Pond.
Hicks pond , in Palmyra , Me. , is a
trange body of water. It is only
twelve acres in area , but it is more
than 100 feet in depth. It has no visi
ble inlet , although a fair sized stream
flows from it into Lake Sebasticook.
The volume of its water is not mate
rially affected by either drought or
freshet , and the water Is always cold.
How He Took Her Refusal.
"What did Mr. Strongnerve say when
you told him you would be a sister to
him ? "
"Why , he had the Impudence to say
that was 'better still ! ' Then he kissed
me , lighted a cigar and asked me to
please mend his gloves for him. " Cin

Followed Directions.
"We shall have to try again , " said
the photographer , inspecting the result
of the first sitting. "You seem to have
had one eye shut. "
"You told me to wink naturally , "
eaid the sitter , "and that's what I was
trying to do. "

Ancient Chinese Bridges.
Suspension bridges which were built
In the time of the Han dynasty (202 ( B.
0. to 220 A. D. ) are still standing , strik
ing examples of oriental engineering
skill. According to historical and geo
graphical writers of China , it was
Shang Lieng , Kaen Tsu's chief of com
mand , who undertook to construct the
Drst public roads in the flowery cni-
plre. At that time it was almost im
possible for the province of Shcnse to
communicate with the capital. Lieng
took an army of 10,000 workmen and
cut great gorges through the moun
tains , filling up the canyons and val
leys with the debris from his excava
tions. At places where deep gorges
were traversed by large and rapidly
flowing streams he actually carried
out his plan of throwing suspension
bridges , stretching from one slope to
the other.
These crossings , appropriately st3led
"flying bridges" by early Chinese writ
ers , are high and dangerous looking in
the extreme. At the present day a
bridge may still be seen in the Shense
which is 400 feet long and is stretched
over a chasm more than 1,000 feet
deep. How. those early engineers erect
ed such a structure with the tools and
appliances at their command Is a mys
tery which will probably never be ex
plained.
Humor nt St. Peter's.
You would not look in St. Peter's for
a practical joke , but one was perpetrat
ed by the unknown artist that carved
the tomb of Pope Innocent XII. , who
reigned from 1G91 to 1700. His family
name was Pigmatella , which is the
Italian for a small jug , and the artist
has introduced tiny jugs at every op
portunity among the embelishmeuts.
The toe of the famous bronze statue
of St. Peter has been worn away by
the kisses of the faithful , which prac
tice has given rise to the absurd but
widely believed idea that pilgrims kiss
the actual toe of the living pope. It is
the ugliest thing in St. Peter's. The
figure is of rude workmanship , and one
is ready to believe the story that it was
never intended for St. Peter at all , but
is an old statue of Jupiter Capltolinus
unearthed in excavations of the six
teenth century. The church authorities
admit that it was cast from the bronze
of a pagan statue , but claim that it was
always intended for St. Peter. Rome
Letter in Chicago Record-Herald.
The Hand In Health.
Let us shako hands with a man and
we will tell you something about his
health , says the London Doctor. The
firm , hearty handshake of a sincere
man may be rather rough , so that one
is taught he has a grip , but it indicates
stamina. While denoting absence of
tact and refinement , it points to phys
ical strength. The flabby hand that
retains no pressure belongs to the per
son who has no great strength of body
or mind. The quick , nervous handshake
of an excitable , nervous temperament
and its opposite , the nerveless , passive
one , belong to persons in ill health.
The hand that threatens to collapse or
give means fear. The feel of the hand
culled magnetic indicates health and
kindness and a desire to help others.
In many ways we may decide charac
ter by the hand as well as the brain.
The Curious Dczoar Stone.
There is now no sale for bezoar
tones. The time WHS when this con
cretion was deemed very valuable , and
many living men will remember hav
ing seen perfectly formed specimens
sell for ? 5 or $10 , to be carried in the
pocket as lucky stones. The bezoar
stone is formed in the stomachs of cat
tle. It is calcareous and as hard as a
bit of limestone , but the core is gener
ally a mass of hair licked from the
hide of the animal and carried into the
stomach with the saliva. These con
cretions are as plentiful now as they
ever were.
A Lunatic's Advice.
Mr. Lionel Brough once played a
game of billiards in an asylum with
one of the patients. He conceded his
adversary twenty-five points , with the
result that he was hopelessly beaten.
Then the patient took him quietly on
one side and said :
"Look here ! If you go on giving points
so recklessly as that you'll be in this
asylum instead of me ! " London Tit-
'Bits.

She Hadn't Thought of That.

that doesn't agree with you , " said the

wife , "where would you be ? " Stray

A Normandy Injunction.
A strunge old world privilege , dating
back to the time when the Norsemen
came to Normandy , was exercised last
year in the island of Guernsey. It Is
called the "Clamour de Haro. " By the
ancient hnv of the island a person who
thinks his land rights are k ng in
fringed upon has only to drifk up n
statement of th case , which he swears
to before two witnesses. This he then
presents to the bailiff of the island and ,
dropping upon one knee , cries out in
French : "Oh , Rollo , my prince , succor
me ! I am wronged ! "
This proceeding acts as an injunc
tion , and the person complained of as
trespasser has to stay his trespass un
til the matter has been adjudicated up
on by the courts. This right of issu
ing one's own injunction by calling un
to Rollo was given to the people of
Guernsey by Rollo or Hrolf , the Nor
wegian pirate who made himself the
first Duke of Normandy In 911 , and
there is probably no example of a legal
procedure of like antiquity which Is to
day carried out in the same way as
that in which it was first instituted.
Greek Husband Housekeeper * .
Ill Greece it Is the custom for the
man of the house to go out early in
the morning and not only to order the
day's food , but to send along with the
boy who delivers it explicit orders how
he wishes to have it cooked. In this
connection it should be remarked that
any man of Greece can cook any Greek
dish. Grecian women seldom go to
market and often do not know how to
cook as well as their husbands.
These people cat very lightly in the
morning , the meal consisting of fruit.
At noon comes the first real meal ,
the breakfast. From noon until 4
o'clock they sleep. This is the mid
day siesta. To call upon a Greek at
this time were quite as rude as to call
upon an American at a corresponding
hour in the morning. At 4 o'clock an
other light luncheon is eaten. The din
ner , or hearty meal , is not eaten until
late in the evening , sometimes as late
as 9 or 10 o'clock. Good Housekeep

The Gummed Floxver.
You may buj' upon the street flowers
which to the eye are of a bloom as
fine and a growth as fresh as any
which could be procured at the most
costly establishment. You buy them
for a song and bring them home , when ,
lo ! to your astonishment and dismay
they fall to pieces at a breath like a
cardboard house. They have been sub
jected to one of the "tricks of the
trade. " It is known as the "gumming
process. * ' A single drop of gum Is in
serted with a sharp pointed instrument
into the center of each calyx , andlby
this means the conformity of the bloom
is preserved until the flowers are sold.
The composition of the gum is such as
to dry up and set immediately , becom
ing invisible even to the closest scru
tiny. Everybody's Magazine.
The IVny of the World.
Funny world we live in. A man who
has six horses standing idle in a stable
walked two miles out in the country
on a little matter of business a day or
two ago , while another man who had
no horses and very little money hired a
team to go the same distance. This
was an actual occurrence and shows
the perversity of human nature. He
who has the facilities for driving pre
fers to walk , while lie who could much
better prefer to walk and has no team
goes and hires one. Men are crazy to
own a team , and it soon becomes a
bore to give the horse necessary exer
cise. It has always been thus and , we
presume , always will be.
Effect of Gravitation.
If a man weighing twelve stone were
to be transferred to the moon , the
weight of his body , measured at least
by the attraction which the moon
would exercise upon it , would be re
duced to about two stone. If his mus
cles . and his frame remained the same ,
it would seem as if he would be able
to jump over a wall twelve feet liigh
on the small globe without any greater
exertion than would be required to
clear a wall two feet high on the earth.
An Anticipated Plcasnrc.
A congressman of Mississippi , after
making a speech in opposition to the
expensive funerals of congressmen ,
says he received a letter from a con
stituent saying : "When you die , John ,
we won't ask congress to pay the ex
pense of your funeral. You've got
enough friends down here , John , to
give you a respectable burial , and we
would take pleasure in doing it. "
" \Vhat Was Scarce.
Once a distinguished Russian grand
duke found himself charged 20 francs
apiece for hothouse peaches at the old
Cafe de Paris , in the French metropo
lis.
"Are hothouse peaches so scarce ,
then , even in midwinter ? " he asked.
"No , " replied the maitre d'hotel , "but
grand dukes are. "
