The Original Porous Plaster. It’s Allcock’s, first introduced to the people sixty years ago, and today undoubtedly has the largest sale of any external remedy—millions being sold apnually throughout the whole civilized world, There have been imitations, to be sure, but never has there be2>none to even com- pare with Allcock’s— the world’s standsrd external remedy. For a weak back, cold on the chest or any local pain, the re- sult of taking cold or overstrain, there’s nothing we know of to compare with famous plaster. The Irish Bull In Journalism, Of a well known reporter of & past generation many curlosities of style are stlll repeated with zest by Dublin Journalists. It was this man who ex- plained, describing a case of -drown- ing off Dalkey, “The body was washed ashore by a receding wave.” Of a fu. gitive from justice he wrote: “The burglar was surrounded on all sldes by the police. Escape was Impossible. Buddenly he made his way down a cul-de-sac and disappeared through a side street.” The most popular story of this Impressionist writer, however, relates to Mr. Gladstone. On the Grand Old Man’s one and only visit to Dublin he was interviewed by the ec- centric press man. Mr. Gladstone, at the conclusion of a somewhat amusing array of questlons, very courteously expressed his pleasure at meeting the Interviewer. The latter, In a high state of delight, said with enthusiasm, “The pleasure s mutual, Mr. Gladstone, but Is all on my side.”—London Tribune. The Oldest Sense of Humor. The oldest idea of humor is surprise This the child exhibits (for that which 18 oldest we shall find in the youngest) ‘when it hides and cries “Boo!” both surprising and frightening its senlor, be this senior father, mother, brother, sis- ter or friend. One may find this primal sense of humor distributed through the modern short story. Frequently the turn in the plot, if not In its develop- ment, hinges upon this child humor of surprise. Even some grownup folk ‘will pull a chair from under one, thus showing themselves still children fn their sense of fun. The verbal conceit found In much of the verse In the pages of modern comic papers is of this same class of humor and furnishes eonclusive evidence that a number of men and women are at child’s play in lNterature. Poems which end contrary to their foreshadowings are of this sort. —New York Herald. A Curfous Custom. In certain parts of India in families where there are several daughters the youngest sisters may only marry after the elder sister Is married. Of course it frequently happens that no suitor [ appears for the elder, in which case | she is got out of the way by a very neat expedient. She is wedded to a tree or a large flower, and then the younger sister may marry. The elder sister must be careful, however, to choose a plum, apple or apricot’ tree, from which she.can get a divorce, for if she married an elm, pine or poplar these are sacred trees and must not be trifled with. His Wig In Hiy Pocket. Benjamin Franklin once wore his wig In his pocket at the court of Ver- sailles. When he was about to present himself at the court for the first time he was informed that a wig was essen- tial. Franklin’s head was so large that no ordinary wig would begin to fit it. However, one was found sufficlently large to pass him through the ante- chambers, after which he was permit- ted to remove the ridiculous conven- tional appendage and place it in his ample pocket. Hard to Please. Mr. Snaggs was accosted on the street the other day by a beggar 'who was covered with a very remarkable mass of patched and ragged garments and who sald: “Mister, haven't you some old clothes you could give a fellow ?” Bnaggs surveyed the beggar from head to foot and then asked: “Are not the clothes you have on old enough for you?” Discriminating. © A thoughtful hostess gave a chil dren’s party and decided it would be healthier to serve only mineral waters. One little girl tasted of her carbonic and lald the glass down. “What's the matter, dear? Don't you like charged water?” “No, ma’am. Please may I have some water that you've paid tor)" Life. ‘Worry Makes Disease, A man who keeps worrying about the state of his liver will almost be sure to have trouble with it eventually, Indigestion can be brought on in the same way and a long list of other afl- “You'll grow.”—London .Tit-Bits. Known by e To understand war, says the author of “A People at School,” Is an Instinet. To Illustrate the aphorism he tells a story of an English general whose un- derstanding of sounds was phenome- nal, One night, he says, after dinner they were all sitting talking at head- quarters, They were expecting an at- tack, and seutries and pickets were posted far out beyond the stockade. Suddenly we heard one shot, Of course every one jumped up. The bu- gles sounded; the men fell In; the offi- cers ran to their posts. General Sy- mons alone had not moved, After listen- ing intently for a moment or two he bad sat down agaid. I myself was be- tween two minds whether to go out ‘with one of the parties hastlly assem- bling outside or to stay with the gen- eral. 8o 1 stood irresolutely by the door. & “You can sit down,”* sald Symons. “It Is nothing. A sentry has let off his rifle by accident. That is all.” 8o it proved. While he was leaning upon his rifie it had gone off, and so had his fingers. Trying to Charm Away Epllepsy. ‘We need not go to Servia or Natal or farther than Devonshire to find super- stitlons. Only the other day in a Dev- onshire village a woman was supposed to have had epllepsy exorcised in the following way: She went to the vil- lage church, accompanied by twenty- nine married men, who left her sitting sllent In the porch while they entered the building for service. After service each of the twenty-nine as he passed out dropped a penny in her lap, and when the churchwarden had made a similar contribution the thirty pence in copper were changed by him into a sil- ver half crown, out of which he had a ring forged to be worn by the epileptic as an Infallible charm against her dis- order. If, however, the woman uttered a single word from the moment she left her house till her return the charm must fail.—T. P.’s Weekly. Varying Weight of the Body. A physiclan points out that several fallacies are common with regard to the weight of the human body. The man who congratulates himself on his galn of several pounds in weight in a glven period may have no cause for rejoicing, for he may be under a delu- slon. Very few persons, says the in- vestigator, have any correct idea of their own weight. As a matter of fact, the weight of the body Is continually changing owing to innumerable Influ- ences. On a warm day after break- fast a man will lose more than a third of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent of the body contalns water, and its weight varies constantly. The infer- ence to be drawn from the loss or gain of a pound or two may be mistrusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces are a sign that the body is in a healthy state.—Milwaukee Citizen. Gold Horseshoes In Olden Times. Roman writers inform us that Com- modus caused the hoofs of his horses to be covered with gold leaf and even the fetlocks to be gilded. Nero’s short journeys were invariably performed on white mules wearing gold shoes on their fore feet and silver behind. The beasts which drew the chariots of his wife, Poppae, were shod all around with gold. Several others among: the dignitaries ‘and potentates of the riot- ous days of the Roman empire shod their horses with gold and used the same material for bridle bits, buckles, spurs, ete. The Life Line on the Foot. Starting from the base of the big toe there Is a distinct line. That is the life line. In one foot it will curve along until it terminates under the instep far toward the lower base of the little toe. ‘This means long life. If broken in the hollow of the foot it denotes a sickness at middle age, and if it terminates in the hollow of the foot It means a short life. This line is the most interesting one on the foot. The experiments that have been conducted have proved this to be an almost unfailing reading of longevity. Simon and Grevy. Jules Simon'sald that the most excit- ing moment of his life was when he was trying to obtain a concesslon on tariff from a foreign diplomat with whom President Grevy was playing billiards. He whispered to Grevy to lose the.game, but Grevy insisted on playing to win and relented only when he observed that the minister was In anguish. Language of the Heart. f The language of the heart which comes from the heart and goes to the heart is always simple, graceful and full of power, but no art of rhetoric can teach it. It is at once the easiest and most - dificult language—difficult since it needs a heart to speak it; easy because its perjods, though rounded and full of harmony, are still un- studied.—Bovee. Measure For Measure. “And the name is to be"”— asked the suave minister as he approached the font with the precious armful of fat and flounces. i “Augustus Phillp Ferdinand Codrin- ton Chesterfleld Livingstone Snool “Dear, dear” “(turning to the sex- ton). “A little more water, Mr. Per- & Barrel, ‘The publie in general and life savers In particular should be warned of the danger and folly of rolllng on a bar- rel the bodies of apparently drowned persons. This process has never yet helped to resuscitate, though It has undoubtedly killed many, half drown- ed persons. The Idea that it “pumps out” tie water Is entirely (falla- clous, In the ‘first place, no water entera the lungs of a drowned man till he bhas been absolutely dead for many hours, In the second, the re- moval of water from the stomach fs quite a sccondary consideration com- pared with the importance of re-estab- Ushing the action of heart and lungs, and rolling a body on a barrel is about the surest way of preventing both heart and luugs from resuming their normal functions. Artificial expansion and contractiou of the chest by alter- nately stretching the arms above the head and compressing the chest with them is the correct first aid to the ap- parently drowned, but never can roll- ing on a barrel be anything but dele terious.—New York Times. Pretty Thin Coffee. During one of George Grabam Vest's campaign tours in the early nineties it ‘was necessary for him to sojuurn over- night in the town of St. Charles. The best hostelry the place afforded was poor enough, and at breakfast Vest was especlally put out by the stuff that was placed before him for coffee. After baving sampled the beverage Vest, with a frown, called for the proprietor. ‘When that Individual appeared the senator asked, with a wave of Lis hand toward the offending liquld smoking lnnocently before him, “Sir, what is this stuff?” .“Coffee,” meekly replied the proprietor, somewhat taken aback ““Coffee!” repeated Vest in fine scorn. “My friend, 1 could insert a coffee bean in my mouth, dive into the Missour} river, swim to the town of Alton. Ill., and I'll guarantee that one could bail up much better coffee than this, sir. over the entire route!" How to Detect Base Coin. Beveral cases of making and circulat Ing counterfeit coin have been heard at the .central criminal court during the last few days. and at the conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the Jury asked {he authorities if they would take a suggestion from twelve business men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in silver coin. There was, he said, a most simple test for the detection of base coin. It was to sharply cut the milled edge of a good coin against the milled edge of the suspected coin. If s; us the metal would almost immediately begin to shaveoff. After making a personal test the common sergeant sald be quite agreed with the suggestion of the jury as to the usefulness of the test and said it ought to be made known.—Lcn don Queen. The Sachem of Pokanoket. The sachem of Pokanoket, known in the history of New England as King Philip, was the youngest son of Chief Massasoit. His Indian name was Po- metacom, but his father was friendly to the English colonists, who gave him the nane of Philip. His warfare upon the settl some fifty years afier the first landins of the pilgrims at Plym- outh rock harassed them greatly, but Philip was at last killed at New Hope, and the war thus ended. The title of king corresponded better with his Eng- lish name than the Indian title of sachem would have done. Danish English. The following advertisement Is from a Danish paper: “The hotels charmingly situation, surrounded of a nice garden the good cuisine, the kindly accommo- dation with moderate charge and good conveyances with easy occasion for salmon and trout fishing, the ascend- Ing of the surrounding mountains has done this place well known and praised of all travelers. N. B.—The Landlord Is spoken English very good.” The Siege of Lisbon. When Lisbon was besieged by the Spanish .in the fifteenth century such Portuguese as were captured were maimed. Their eyes were put out, their noses, lips or ears were cut off, their finger nails or fingers amputated, and in this miserable plight they were sent back into the city with the an- nouncement that when it was taken all the defendéers would be similarly treat. ed.

Victor Hugo always translated the Firth of Forth as “the First of the Fourth” and‘swore that he was right, too, while Disraell noted with amuse- ment ‘“woebegone” as “douleur va- | ten” An early translator of Scott's #Bride of Lammermoor” had it as “La Bride de Lammermoor,” the second word meaning “bridle,” and the same man rendered “Welsh rabbit” by “La- pin du Pays de Galles.” The case of “La Derniere Chemise de I’Amour” for “Love's Last Shift” is classic, and when the farce “Hit or Miss” was done into I'rench it almost was billed as “Frappe on Mademoiselle,”” That delightful plece in which Toole was at his funniest, “Walker, London,” was referred to in a French newspaper as “Londres qul se Promene.” The best that the translator could do for the “Stickit Minister” was “Le Ministre Assagsine.” Buying a Gift Book. The principle of choice should in gen- eral follow the taste or need of the friend for whom you are selecting a book. Yet It is also well now and then to open a new channel of interest by glving a volume outside of your friend’s habitual line. We are often thankful to a friend who has drawn us out of our mental sheep tracks. There are a few writers that stand as per- manent figures In the modern literary world—writers who have glven out seminal ideas that seed and beautify the field of thought. Chief among these men are Shakespeare, Carlyle, Ruskin, Emerson and Victor Hugo. Until a libra- Ty possesses at least the best writings of these five men it is sadly deficient. You are doing kingly service when you make these men known to any thought- ful mind.—Edwin Markham in Success. Met Hin Match. Rev. Matthew Wilkes, a celebrated London preacher, was caught ia a shower In the famous Billingsgate market, where the profanity of the women who sell fish there is prover- blal. As he stopped under a shed among them he felt called upon to at least give his testimcny against their ‘wickedness. “Don’t you think,” said he, speaking with the greatest deliberation and solemnity, “I shall appear as a swift witness against you in the day of Judgment?’ “l presume 80,” said one, “for the biggest rogue always turns state’s evidence.” The Soclety Butterfly. That maligned creature the “society butterfly” is as hard working in its way as Solomon’s ant and goes about its duties with a steady application and a determined disregard of fatigue and boredom which not a few indus- trial and other workers might imitate with advantage.
