The “Alms Cow.” A curious custom still holds good in the village of Waddesdon, in Buck- inghamshire, Engiand, where, on any morning or evening of the year, you can claim a free ‘drink of new milk from a cow specially kept for the benefit of thirsty wayfarers. This ani- mal is known locally as the “alms cow,” and when she dies another has to be provided by the parish authori- Spite of One Man Embittered Whole Life of Great Poet. “Milton’s life was embittered by ‘the contemptible spite of one Salmas- jus,” writes Marie Corelli in the Strand Magazine. “Salmasius was the author of the ‘Defensio Regi,’ or ‘Defense of Kings,’ a poor piece © of work long ago forgotten, and he was the procurer of foul libel against the author of ‘Paradise Lost.’ What small claim he has to the world’s memory'arises merely from his vic- jousness, for not only, did he make use of the lowest tool to aid him in conspiring against Mi!ton’s reputation, but he spread the grossest lies broad- east, even accusing the poet of huyv- ing a hideous personal appearance—‘a puny piece of man; a homunculus; a dwarf deprived of the human figure; a contemptible pedagogue.’ When the despicable slanderer learned the fact that Milton, so far from answering to this description, was of a pleasing and attractive appearance, he immediatly changed his tactics and began to at- tack his moral character—which, as even Milton’s bitterect) political ene- mies knew, was austerely above the very shadow of suspicion. It wes said that the poet’s overzealousness in answering thé calumnies of Salmasius cost him his eyesight.” BOTH WON AND LOST. Ruse of French Husband That Was Effective, but Costly. Mime. Bouvet, the wife of a Paris shopkeeper, who recently left him, received the following letter: “If you will not come and see me alive, you will, perhaps, come and see my corpse, for by the time you receive this letcer I shall have committed suicide.” She hastened to her husband's house, and on breaking open the door saw a body still swinging to and fro. “Oh, my poor Edward!” she sobbed. “I have kilied him, and I am a wretch- ed woman.” At that moment her hus band rushed out of the kitchen ex claiming, “No, you have not killed me, but you will if you do not come back at once.” The body was found to be a skillfully made dummy, which had been arranged by the artful husband. He wes, nevertheless, arrested on the charge of hcaxing a public official, as Mme. Bouvet was accompanied by a police magistrate. Ballad of the Beach. The joerg sea rollers whitened, Surged with their endless roar, Then broke like armies frightened Upon the shingly shore. Rolling our feet before Their spume upon the sané Where. in those days of yore, We twain sat hand in hand! The lithe, ‘ soft fingers tightened And, at the touch, once more The wide horizon brightened With promise that it bore: What visions, dreams galore, What airy castles planned, Old memories restore! We twain sat hand in hand! The chaperon had lightened : Her dreary watching sore; So, while the tide wave heightened, “The evening slowly wore, The sun's last rays were o'er The ocean and the land, And night began to lower, We twain sat hand In hand. Go ballad, to her door, Before my lady stand! my hear again implore— ‘e twain sat hand in hand! —New Orleans Times-Democray Thought He Was Arrested. In his young days, when the late John Coleman was an architect’: as- sistant, but already had aspirations toward the drama, he obtained through a chance business connection an in- troduction to Charles Mathews. Be- fore the interview a little incident took place which throws a striking light upon the public favorite’s pre- carious position. Mathews had just handed his wife from her carriage and was entering the Haymarket, wher the young man came up. “His back was turned to me, so, approach- ing timidly, I touched him upon the arm,” says Coleman in teiling of the incident. “Turning round like a shot, he inquired, ‘At whose suit?’”. Animals in Winter Quarters. Many animals, like squirrels, dor- mice and hamsters, lay up supplies of food in their winter quarters, on which they feed during waking inter- vals in the torpor, so that the fast is by no means so prolonged or so con- tinuous. They are, however, yet other animals, such as bats among mam- mals, frogs and toads among amphil- fans, and the west African lung fish among fishes, which apparently neither put on fat nor lay up a store of food during their period of torpor; which in the case of all ot them is unusually prolonged. Coins Fortune from Pennies. One man who controls the public slot machines at the resorts on Coney Island makes a profit of more than $600 a week. That is net profit. He has more than $28,000 inves<ed ia his plant. One of the best posted slot machine men the other day estimated that, exclusive of the gambling ma- chines, which flourish in the West, more than half a million pennies are dropped into slot machines every day, while on a holiday a million would be nearer the mark. Lengevity of Forest Trees. Information gathered by the Ger- man forestry commission assigns to the pine tree 700 years as a maxi- mum length of life, 425 years to the silver fir, 275 to the larch, 245 to the red beech, 210 tg the aspen, 200 to the birch, 170 to the ash, 145 to the elder, and 130 to the elm. The heart wr the oak begins to rot at about the age of 300 years. Of the hoily it is said there is a specimen aged 410 years in‘exist- ence near Aschaffenburg, in Germany. RCH ENEMY OF MILTON. “ODD THINGS ABOUT GOLD. the Pre- ettor of Great Variation in Color of. cious Metal. Few people know the real gold, because it 1s seldom seen éxcept when heavily alloyed, which makes it much redder than when it is pire. The purest coins ever made were the fifty-dollar pieces which once were in common use in California. Their coinage was abandoned for | two reasons: first, because the loss | by abrasion was so great, and second, because their interior could be bored out and filled with lead. The differ ence in weight was so small that it could not be noticed in sych large pieces. They were octagonal in shape and were the most valuable coin$ ever minted and circulated. | All gold is not alike wren refined, Australian gold is distinctly redder than that taken in California. More over, placer gold is more yellow than that which is taken from quartz. This is one of the mysteries of metallurgy, because the gold in placers comes from that which is in quartz. Gold taken from different placers will vary in color, The gold in the Ural moun- tains is the reddest in the world.— The Sunday. Magazine. t MASTER OF MANY TRADES. Louisville, Man Shouldn’t Be Very Long Out of a Job. The thriftiest man in the United States lives in Louisville. He has trades that fit any climate, season or time of the day. As an example of his wonderful versatility, a friend tells the following story of an average day in the life of this strenuous man. One morning last week he started out with a rug to sell on commission for an installment house. He sold the rug, and then came back and took out a clock, which he also disposed of. About noon he was called by an under- taker to embalm a body, which he did. Another undertaker sent for him to drive a hearse to the cemetery, and after he had disposed of this errand satisfactorily he preached a short ser- mon at the grave. He drove the hearse back to town and filled in an afternoon for a candy- maker who was taken suddenly ill. In the evening he worked from 6 till 8 o’clock in a barber shop, and from that hour until midnight set type on @ daily newspaper. Admired the Judge’s Language. In the days when dentistry was not the science it is now the pounding of a hickory plug into the space between the teeth taking the place of modern bridgework, the elder Judge Peckham, who was noted for his picturesque flow of profanity, visited a dentist. The work had hardly started when the judge began to swear. When the tapping of the hickory plug increased in force his language became torrid and when, in time, the dentist gave the final blows the patient arose from the chair and fairly shattered the atmosphere with a weird, terrible tor- rent of profanity. As the judge passed out the dentist remarked to a waiting patient: “Wasn’t it beauti- ful? It wasn’t really necessary to pound half so long, but I did so en- joy his inflection that I almost pound- ed the hickory plug into splinters. Wonderful command of language the judge has!” Proof That Dogs Can Think. The following facts, which I saw with my own eyes on repeated occa- sions, fully convinced me that ani- mals have the powers of memory and thought. I once had a_ threeparts bred black and tan terrier, which slept in a basket in my bedroom, that opened into the nursery. One of my children was, from ill health, very fractious, and whenever Tiny heard it cry she would go into the nursery, hunt about until she found a squeak- ing rag doll, take it to the side of the cot and sitting up, shake it to amuse the child. If in doing this she did not display powers of memory, thought and reflection, I utterly fail to see to what her clever performance could be attributed.—Correspondence in London Globe. Truth Profoundly Expressed. The profound truth that to-morrow never comes, and yesterday, although it is always passing, has never been with us, has led a correspondent to throw off this little effort: “Although yesterday to-day was to-morrow, and to-morrow to-day will be yesterday, nevertheless yesterday to-morrow would be the day after to-morrow, be- cause to-day would be to-morrow yes- terday,. and to-morrow will be to-day to-morrow, or would have been the day after to-morrow yesterday.” We thought as much.—London Answers.

When I asked a young man how much his employer’s stockroom repre- | sented’ in the way of losses, he esti- ; mated that it would take a million dollars to cover them, but during this million dollar period his employer made four million dollars, so that everything went on cheerfully. Those who make money are not afraid of a reasonable amount of experimental expense$-Earl M. Pratt. A SOP TO CERBERUS, Guardian of Infernal Regions Very Like Human Beings. : The dog fancier, having approached the portals of the infernal regions, stopped to admire their famous canine guardian. “Fine dog!” he said. “Bully dog! If two heads are better than one, what about a hundred? Bet he’d have tak- en a blue ribbon at a dog show.” Whereupon Cerberus wagged his tail enthusiastically. . “Fine tail! Magnificent tail! But it cant wag this dog! Sore people told me he was built out of proportion in the matter of heads—ought to have legr and tails to match, But I think he's just right.” Cerberus emitted a hundred simul- taneous deep, low growls of satisfac- tion; et least one seemed to come from every head. Then he stretched out each of his heads in succession to be patted and finally held up his paw to shake hands. The dog fancier passed on. “Stupid brute!” he said. “He’d rath- er have flattery than a bone. But I’ve seen lots of men who are ‘uilt just the same way.” DISTINCT VALUE OF POISE. Means Collecting and Balancing of the Vital Forces. Poise must not be confounded with pose. {t is not an attitude or an af- fectation, as so many women seem to think in disregarding it, says Har- per’s Bazar. It is really a prepara- tion. The arrow is poised for fiight. Otherwise it cannot be aimed to the mark. Poise saves a woman from wasting energy in unaimed effort. The cleverer, the more energetic, a woman is, the more she needs correct poise. And few women are born with it, while many have yet the alphabet of it to learn when they come of age. The exclamation point, in conversa- tion or life, betrays emotional lack of balance and waste of energy. Poise reserves itself for the right occasion, and emphasizes important things with- out need of exclamation. In other words, it saves its owner from unnec- essary words or acts, and prepares her for necessary ones. Unless one have an aim in life, poise is never really at- tained. It is not mere repose. It is the collecting and balancing of one’s forces. Seeking the Large Life. The habit which many women have formed and from which they apparent- ly do not attempt to secure freedom, of devoting ube larger portion of their time and thoughts to the trivial things of life, robs them of the capac- ity of enjoying or assimilating much which would add to intellectual growth, says a writer in Madam. The woman who sees nothing from day to day but the four walls of her abiding place often quite naturally becomes narrow in her thoughts. She even lacks the incentive to commune with great minds through reading. But in- terest in that which best serves hu- manity should not be limited by the dines of sex. As woman’s opportuni- ties open she is quick to place herself in touch with all the active forces which make for the betterment cf mankind. . Origin of the “Cocktail.” There has. been much curiosity as to the origin of the name “cocktail.” At last some one has come f-ward with an answer toghis question which may be pure invention or truth, but at any rate sounds plausible. In the early days, when doctors used stren- uous methods and medicines in the cure ‘of disease, there was a habit ‘among them of treating certain dis eases of the throat with a pleasant liquid, which was applied by the tip of a long feather plucked from a cock’s tail. In course of time this remedy came to be used as a gargle, still retaining its old name. In the course of its evolution the gargle gained most of the present ingredi- ents—spirits, sugar, bitters and so on —till it became the beverage of to day. ag (The -Beauty of Repose. Sitting and rising may be motions neuvers of a sgal. To fall into a seat with a thump and spill all over it is not pretty, nor is it necessary. The ,woman who takes a seat in this way clutches wildly at anything in reach whez she attempts to rise, and strug- gtes awkwardly to her feet. Control of the muscles will prevent all this, and the heayiest woman may get up and down with some degree of grace and ease with a little care and prac- tice. - pStheS SEAS A eee Boy Weather.
