Barker’s drug store, Soap as a Medicine, “When I was a boy,” said the old iman, “they often made me take a little soap as a medicine. It did me good. “Soap was prescribed in the village for cramps, for sick headache, for a half dozen complaints. The people ad- mitted that it was a nauseous dose, but on the other hand they pointed to its efficacy. “When I was taken down my mother would cut from the cake of yellow soap In the kitchen a chunk about as blg as.a chestnut. “‘Now, sonny,’ she would say, ‘swal- ler this,” and she’d hold the yellow mor- gel in thumb and forefinger close to my lips. “I'd begin to whimper. The smell of it and the idea of the lather that would form in my mouth—the lather I'd have to swallow—would fill me with despair. But my mother was inexorable. With stiff lips I'd take the soap into my mouth, I'd chew the soft and slippery stuff a little and then, with a groan and a dreadful gulp, I'd swallow it Horrors! “Horrors!” said the old man, smiling. “I can still taste those doses of soap that were so common in the village in my boyhood.” Jewish Thrift. The Allgemeine Rundscau, Vienna in an article on the Jewish question and anti-Semitism, has this to say as to Jewish thrift: “If we could only in- duce our own lower class to acquire the Jew’s thrift, his industry, his sense of order, his scrupulous exactitude, his religious loyalty and love for his fam- ily the Jew on his darker side would appear far less dangerous to them than is at present the case. If one Sunday. by way of interesting experiment, one ‘were to conduct an inquiry into the station, wealth and religion of visitors to the various public houses, the fol- lowing result would transpire: A large number of the guests would be Chris- tlans who would do far better to save than spend their money in alcoholic re- freshments, gaming and tobacco. There might be a few Jews, but at the most they would content themselves with a cup of coffee.” An Ancient Hebrew Bible, The highest amount ever offered for a single volume was tendered by a number of wealthy Jewish merchants of Venice to Pope Julius II for a very ancient Hebrew Bible. It was then be- lieved to be an original copy of the Septuagint version made from the He- brew into Greek in 277 B. C., careful copies of the Hebrew text having been prepared at that date for the use of the seventy translators. The offer to Julius was £20,000, which, considering the difference between the value of money then and now, would in our day represent the princely sum of $600,000. Julius was at that time greatly pressed for money to maintain the holy league which the pope had organized against France, but In spite of his lack of funds he declined the offer. ‘Weight of a Lion. “What does a lion weigh?’ Ask that question of any acquaintance and sec what he will say. Those who best know the look of the king of beasts and how small his lithe body really is will probably come furthest from the truth, About 300 to 350 pounds is a usual estimate. But this is below the mark. A full grown lion will tip the scales at no less than 500 pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds is the record for an African lion. His bone 1s solid and heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the lion very close. A Bengal| tiger killed by an English officer scaled | 520 pounds. A tiger of this size has, however, considerably greater muscu- lar strength than the biggest lion. Big Differences. “What!” sald the judge. “You ex- pect me to send your husband to prison ‘when you acknowledge that you threw five flatirons at him and he only threw | one at you?”’ “Yes; that’s all right, judge,” said the irate woman, “but, then, the one he threw hit me.” Counterfeits, “They bill and coo a good deal.”” “That's all a bluff.” ¢ “Then you think they are only mock turtledoves?’—Loulsyille Courler-Jour- nal. Tonies. Willle—Pa, what's a tonic? Pa— It's something you take to brace you Willile—Well, . what's teutonic— something to brace you too much? An Abrup Finale. Joaquin Miller had just won recogni- tion as the poet of the Sierras and was working on a paper in Oregon. He had been contributing verses and short stories and had just begun a tale about the soldiers on the frontier who suf- fered with scurvy. The editor wanted the scurvy story for the morning pub- lication, but Joaquin Miller could not concentrate upon his work. His mind leaped to the anticipated joy of a great social function occurring that evening, for at this time he was a social-lion. However, he had proceeded in his story up to the point of the conditional cure for the disease where all the soldiers suffering with scurvy had been buried, with only their heads exposed to view. The editor was yelling *“Copy!” The poet’s mind refused to work. He could | not finish the tale, leaving his soldiers in such a plight. Suddenly an inspira- tion came to him. He grabbed his pencil and wrote rapidly the followlng words: “And a she wolf came along and ate off all their heads.” Then he made a bee line for the door and was not seen again until the next day. His story was not published. A Cnuse of Divorce. “What is the most frequent cause of divorce?” the lawyer was asked. “It is nearly incredible,” he said. “but a thing that causes divorce often- er than you'd imagine is married peo- ple’s quarreling over their right to open one another’s letters. The hus- band will claim that he is entitled to’ open the wife’s mail. The wife will clalm that she is entitled to open the husband’s. In the letters of neither ‘will there be anything of a private or compromising nature, but nevertheless they both want to get their mail in- violate—it enrages them to have it opened and read. Quarrels over this letter opening question vex, I suppose, 90 per cent of married couples. Of this 90 per cent a distressingly large proportion go on from bad to worse till they wind up in the divorce court. 8o, young man, when you come to mar- ry, leave your wife’s mail alone, no matter how she may pry into yours.”— New York Press. Quick Wit Saved His Life. “The strangest and most thrilling plece of swordsmanship I ever saw,” sald the fencing master, “was In Ver- mont. I was spending the autumn in a mountainous part of the state, and there was a military encampment near my hotel. One morning an officer’s horse started to bolt with the man during parade and made at breakneck speed toward a precipice. The offi- cer tried to stop the horse, tried to turn his head—no use. On dashed the frantic animal straight for the abyss. We all held our breaths. In another Instant we expected to see horse and rider go over the cliff. But the officer when within fifty feet of the edge drew his sword and plunged it twice deep into the horse. The horse stag- gered, slowed, keeled over, dying. The man had sacrificed the animal’s life to po save his own.” Ages In the Animal Kingdom. A great varlance as to length of life appears among different animals, Some ingects live for only a few hours, while fish, elephants and turtles are fre- quently centenarians. The average life of the mosquito is three days. Toads usually live to the age of about fifteen years, while carp have been known to reach 150. Chickens lve from twelve to fifteen yenrls dogs to the age of ten and occasionally fifteen and parrots to extreme age. These birds have been known to pass the age of 200 years. Turtles are also fre- quently centenarians, as are storks, and elephants are sald to reach the age of 800 years. Whales have been known tp live for 400 years. Fostage Stampa.

MAYO Ladies’ Handbags, Purses, Smoking Contents, “Smoking contests are as old as the hills,” said an antiquary. “Go to Brit- tany, take in a Breton ‘pardon,’ and youw’ll see a smoking contest sandwich- ed in between the dancing matches and the wrestling bouts.” The old man took out his notebook. “The first smoking contest of which e have any authentic record,” he said, , “came off at Oxford, the English seat of learning, in 1723. The conditions ' were that you should smoke three ounces of tobacco without drinking or leaving the stage, the person first fin- Ished to get a prize of 12 shillings. | “Hearne says—I copied it down here: “‘Many tryed, and ’twas thought that .a journeyman taylor of St. -Pe- ter's-in-the-East would have been: the victor, he smoking faster than and be- ing many pipes before the rest, but at last he was so sick that 'twas thought he would. have dyed, and an old man that had been a builder and smoked gently came off the conqueror, smok-| Ing the three ounces quite out, and he ' told me that after it he smoked four or five pipes the same evening.’ ” A German Duel. A young officer quarreled with a friend who was a solicitor. Hot words ‘were exchanged, and the officer struck his friend. Here the matter might have ended—there was something to forgive and regret on both sides. But the officer’s regiment heard of the af- fair, and a court of honor decided that he must challenge the civillan. So a duel by command took place, and the Yyoung lawyer fell mortally wounded by his friend. When the officer re-| + turned home he was arrested on the i tion of the front teeth of the cook, to . 8ult of polsonous vapors which are information of the president of the court of honor which had foreed him to fight. He was trled by an ordinary tribunal and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment. The president of the court of honor knew he was urging the officer to an illegal deed ‘when he insisted on the duel, but hon- or, as he understood It, must be satis- fied at all cost.—Berlin Letter. | . The Cigar Mouthpiece. A rich Russian banker had been dis- | covered murdered in his house in St. Petersburg, says a writer in the Green Bag. There was no clew, but in the room there was found a cigar mouth-| Pplece containing part of a cigar of such | an expensive kind that it was sup- posed the banker himself had been! smoking it just before the crime had been committed. On ‘close ex\\mlnn-i tion the mouthpiece was found to be! worn away by the teeth .of its owner, ! but the dead man's teeth did not fit] the indentation.
