Knocking, for the same reason, is equally futile. Now and then a guest ‘who has lost his hearing suggests that he leave kis door open all night so we can walk right in and shake him, but even though he does appear to be a dead game sport there are so many chances of somebody else less guileless than ourselves walking in ahead of us that we cannot consent to that: So far the only satisfactory way found for waking a deaf lodger is to tie a string to his wrist, pass the string through the keyhole and then tug away at it at the appointed time. That method, however, is rather primitive. It seems to me that the man who can patent a harmless artistic device for waking the deaf is sure of fame and fortune, not to mention the gratitude of hotel clerks,” —New York Sun. The Mullahs of India. A mullah, or, as it is more properly written, mollah, is a title given in In- dia and throughout the east generally to a religious leader of any description. Thus the sultan of Turkey is a mol- lah, because he is the supreme head of the moslem world. And there are hun- dreds of others. To most of the more conspicuous among them we prefix the adjective “mad.”” This, however, must not be taken to mean that they are insane, the word being used rather in its oriental significance of “inspired.” The person of the mollah is sacred. Not even the mighty Habibullah him- self would care to lay a sacrilegious finger on one of these saintly persom- ages. If he were to venture such an unheard of thing, vengeance would | surely overtake him, For it is the cardinal principle of the Ulima—as the mollahs are collectively termed— that an injury purposely caused to one of their number can only be atoned for by the death of the individual in- flicting it. Greatest Danger to Swimmers, “It isn’t cramp,” said a life guard, “that carries off so many good swim- mers. After all, what is a leg or arm cramp? Couldn’t a good swimmer easily turn on his back and float till the attack departed? No, cramp won't account for the strange seizures that in a twinkling turn a very fish of a swimmer into a helpless, speechless, drowning paralytic. What accounts for this business is water inhaling, A swimmer inhales spray through the nostrils, it passes through the pharynx, behind the epiglottis or windpipe guard and so down into the windpipe. The result is nearly certain death. Swal- lowing water does you no harm, but breathing it may kill you. How to avoid accidentally breathing it, though, that is a question nobody seems able to answer.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. ice and Mice. For horses suffering from inflamma- tlon of the lungs an old prescription was a mixture of shot and powder in milk. This has even been applied to human beiugs. In “Idlehurst” mention 1s made of sparrow shot, five or six to the dose, to be taken twice a day, as a remedy for “brown kiters,” which is believed by the English farm laborers to be caused by the “lights” (their term for lungs) rising up the windpipe. The shot is supposed to weight them down In their rightful place. Sussex, England, is the scene of “Idiéhurst.” It was a Sussex woman who was or- dered by the doctor to put some ice in a bag and bind it on the temples of her sick boy. Inquiring after his patient the next day, the physiclan received the reply, “Oh, Tommy’s better, but the mice are dead!” Then He Got His. A young Lancashire lad joined the army and soon after his arrival at headquarters got into trouble. Ae- cordingly he had to face his command- ing officer next morning. The usual preliminaries were gonme through, when, contrary to orderly room etiquette, the recruit commenced to defend himself. “Silence!” roared the adjutant. “Thou shut up,” sald the prisoner. “I'm not speaking to thee. I'm talk- ing to the old chap in the chair.”—Lon- don Scraps. Too Much For Him. “How true that old saying is about a child asking questions that a man cannot answer,” remarked Popleigh, “What's the trouble now?’ queried his friend Singleton. “This morning,” replied Popleigh, “my little boy asked me why men were sent to congress, and I couldn’t tell him.”—Chicago News. .Did He? “You never saw a man who under- stood women.” “Well, I knew a man once who claimed that he did.” . “And did he?’ “Well, he never married one.”—Hous- ton Post. Her Chin. Dawson—The facial features plainly indicate character and disposition. In selecting your wife, were you governed by her chin? Spenlow—No, but I have been ever since we married. Her Ears In Danger. Susie had left her toys about the kitchen. Mother (picking them up)— Susle, if you leave these things about the kitchen again I'll box your ears and throw them in the ash pit. None but the contemptible are ap- | prehensive of contempt. — Rochefou- rauld. | The unemployed man wants a job. e will not vote for Bryan, because that would be to vote agalnst the quickening of activity in manufacture, trade and transportation. Hon, Adlai Stevenson denies that he was ever a “knight of the golden cir- cle,” but was a prominent knight of The negro blood wherever it is, clares Ray Stannard Baker {n Ameri- can Magazine, supplies an element of light heartedness ‘which ‘will not be wholly crushed. In illustration he tells this story of a very light mulatto of Tennessee: 5 A number of years ago it came to him suddenly one day that he was ‘white enough to pass’ anywhere for white, and he acted instantly on the Inspiration, He went to Memphis and Dbought a first class ticket'on a Missis- sippi river boat to Clucinnatl. No one suspected that he was colored. Hesat at the table with white people and even occupled a stateroom with a white man. At first, he sald, he could hardly restrain his exultation, but after a time, although he assoclated with_ the Wwhite men, he began to be lonesome. “It grew colder and colder,” he said. In the evening he sat on the upper deck, and as he looked over the railing he could see down below the negro passengers and deck hands talking and laughing. After a time when it grew darker they began to sing the inimita- ble negro songs. 3 “That finished me,” he said. “I got up and went downstairs and took my place among them. I've been a negro. ever since.” The Elder Robert Fulton. Robert Fulton was born at Little Britain, Lancaster county, Pa., Nov. 14, 1765. His biographers have called him “a’ self’ made man” and have made but brief “reference to his par- entage. It is noteworthy that his fa- ther, the senior Robert Fulton, in .a failure to leave financial patrimony to his children has not been accorded the mention of other achievements, not slight in those primitive days. His ap- cestors crossed from Scotland to Ire- land prior to the time of Cromwell. From Kilkenny, Ireland, the Fulton family came to America before the year 1785. The senior Robert Fulton was among the prominent men of Lancaster, his name having been on record upon all the town organizations which existed at that period. He was a founder of the Presbyterian church, the secretary of the Union Fire com- pany and a charter member of the Juliana library of Lancaster, the third library established in the American colonies.—Century. The Fourmilion, “In the Sahara,” said an explorer, “there is a little insect that throws sand, and its volleys slay. They call it the fourmilion. The fourmilion digs itself a funnel shaped hole of the cir- cumference of a silver dollar. It lies hidden and watchful in the bottom of this hole, and when a spider or ant or beetle comes cautiously prospecting down the steep and slippery sides the inhospitable fourmilion launches upon its guest volley after volley of sand—a hail of stinging sand so abundant, so suffocating, so blinding that the visitor loses his head. He rolls unconscious for the nonce to the bottom of the hole, and the fourmilion calmly dis- members him before he has time to come to himself again and puts him In the larder for the next meal.” Blooms but to. Die. 5 The taliput palm (Corypha umbracu- lifera) of Ceylon, whose leaves are put to such numerous uses by the Cinga- lese, bears fruit but once during its life. This elegant tree measures about ten feet round the trunk and attains a height of about 180 feet. The flowers, the appearance of twhich presages death to the tree, are inclosed in a tall spathe which bursts with a loud re- port, disclosing a huge plume of beau- tiful blossom. The inflorescence is sue- ceeded by equally conspicuous bunches of fruit. When these have ripened the tree withers rapidly and in the course tof a fortnight may be seen prostrate and decaying on the spot it adorned. He Might Have Married. Fitz-Greene Halleck never married, yet, as Mr. Howe reminds us in his American Bookman, he could not have been without attractions, for a certain superior lady is reported to have de- clared: “If T were on my way to church to be married, yes, even if I were walk- ing up the alsle, and Halleck were to offer himself, I'd leave the man I had promised to marry and take him.” To this perhaps should be joined his apigram, written for a young lady who had asked for his autograph: .There wanted buf this drop to fill The wifeless poet's cup of fame. Hurrah! There lives a lady still Willing to take his name. Playing to the Cook. Mr. Subberton (yelling to kitchen)— Sawdust and milk crust! Adam and Eve on a raft and wreck ’em! On the cantaloupe! Draw one! Make it three all round. Mr. Townley—Great—e-e-r, how— pardon me, old chap, but what's it all about? Mr. Subberton—'Sh! We've got & former restaurant cook—a peach—and we have to order that way to keep her | on the job!—Puck. - Pleasant For the Bride. At the close of a wedding breakfast a gentleman noted for his blunders rose to his feet, causing keen anxiety to all who knew him. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he cried genially, “I drink to the health of the bridegroom. May he see many days like this!” Poor Board. “I see,” said Mrs, Starvem, “that a certain scientist claims we’ll soon get a palatable food from wood”— “Well,” growled the eranky boarder, “it seems impossible to get it out of board.”—Philadelhpia Press. A Tt is a brief perlod of life that is granted us by nature, but the memory of a well spent life never dles.—Cicero. How to Fill Up Holes In Wood. It sometimes becomes necessary to fill up cracks or dents In fine wood- work, furniture, floors, etc. The fol- lowing is the best way of doing it: ‘White tissue paper is steeped and per- fectly softened in water and by thor- ough kneading with glue transformed Into a paste and by means of ochers (earth colors) colored as nearly as pos- sible to the shade of the wood. To the paste calcined magnesia is then added, and it is forced into the cracks or very firmly to the wood and after dry- the silyer circle, which was just as bad. ing retains its smooth surfaca . There isn't one person in a thousand who s tops to v think that in these days of care in food prep- aration experts have discovered and named 3 every component part of almost everything we eat. For instance in a wheat berry there is fat, starch, water, sugar, wood fibre—with - these names everyone is familiar. There are othersthough that are longer and lesscommon. Bvery grade of wheat flour contains these elements in different roporti > The difference affects bread making. The change in {hep;rxgg:h tion of sugar for instance would greatly affect the action of your yeast. So you mustn’t be surprised if you use ordinary flour “and find one sack makes good bread and another of the same brand doesn’t. Or that there will be a good batch and a poor one from the same sack.
