Fee Was Small But Carried with It Child’s Gratitude. Carrying a pet spaniel in his arms. 8-year-old Alexander Wilson walked into the accident room of the Samar- itan hospital and said appealingly to Dr. Raiman, says the Philadelphia Inquirer: “Won't you mend my dog’s leg? He was run over by a big wagon on the street.” Dr, Raiman tried to tell the child that the institution was not a veteri- nary hospital, but the child pleaded so hard that the physician consented to operate on the injured animal. He found that “Jessie,” so the boy called his pet, had sustained a fracture of the left hind leg. The injured limb was soon set and done up in splints. When the operation was _ over, Alexander began to search his pock- ets and finally produced a five-cent piece, all his available earthly wealth. He gravely presented it to Dr. Rai- man. The physician told him to put it back in his pocket. The boy in- sisted, but finally obeyed the doctor. As soon as the accident room door closed behind him Alexander took the nickel from his pocket, rolled it through the crack under the door into the room and ran away. The physician is thinking of having a watch charm made of the nickel Piece, so that in after years he can exhibit it when he tells the story of his first fee. DUNCE WAS MAN OF LEARNING. Nickname of Dunsscotus, Learned Man 600 Years Ago. “Dunce” is generally applied to dull, stupid, unteachable boys. The person from whose name the word is supposed to have been derived was quite a different character. It was used as a term of reproach by the Thomists to the followers of Dunsscotus, who was their antagonist in a religious controversy. This “Johannes Dunsscotus” was a very learned man, who lived about the end of the thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth century. The English say he was born in Northumberland; the Scotch allege he was born at Duns, in the Mers, the neighboring county to Northumberland, and hence he was called Dunsscotus. ‘ He died at Cologne, Nov. 8, 1308. His fame was so great that when at Oxford, 30,000 scholars attended to hear his lectures. The Thomists were the followers of Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar, celebrated for his learning.—Stray Stories. A Thing of Beauty Is a—Drain! At a dinner of the Sanitary Inspec tors’ association at Holborn restau- rant, Sir Wyke Bayliss confessed that art and sanitation seemed far apart. “Would you compare art,” some would say, “with a drain running down a street?” “Yet one of the loveliest things in the world was a drain (laughter)—when it was consecrated by art in the form of a gargoyle on the roof of a cathedral. The two were noid so far apart. Art was the sci- In Our Windows Note the strickingly handsome styles of Summer Oxfords and Slippers dis- played in our windows. stop at the window, c Not the slightest obligatio JOHN BECKFEL Grand Rapids, Minn. $00000000000600000000000000000000000000 Superiority Try on your shape and size of QUEEN QUALITY or JULIA MARLOWE shoes and you will be amazed at the snug fit and changed appearance of your feet.

In some reminiscences of Sir Fred- erick St. John, a diplomatist who served his country (England) well, we have the facts which prompted Gen. Gordon to carry no weapon but a cane when leading the imperial troops dur- ing the Tai-ping struggle. SWhen acting in conjunction with the Chinese general, San-ko-lin-sin, against either Nankin or Focchow, Gordon received a message from the rebel leaders offering submission if their lives were guaranteed. Having obtained the consent of the Chinese commander, he agreed. The town sur- rendered, and the three rebel chiefs appeared before San-ko-lin-sin. He, seeing that they had not shaved their heads in sign of submission, had them decapitated on the spot. Whereupon, exasperated beyond control by such treachery, Gordon armed himself with a revolver, and was hastening to the general’s tent with the intention of chastising him in the most summary manner for his breach of faith, when suddenly he paused, and coming, on reflection, to the conclusion that his contemplate@ act was simple murder, he threw away his weapon and regis- tered a vow that. so long as he re mained in China, he would never again carry any weapon more formid- able than a cane.” FISH IS NOT A “BRAIN FOOD.” Idea to the Contrary ts Proved to Be Fallacy. Fish is credited, even by educated people, with specia! properties that it cannot be truthfully said to possess. Chief amongst these is the idea that fish is par excellence a “brain food.” Dr. Hutchison traces the origin of this fal’acy in the following way:—Bunch- er, the great philosopher, laid down as a vital principle the dictum, “Without phosphorus there is no thought.” This ts half truth, as, although the brain is known to contain phosphorus, it has yet to be shown that an increase of the amount of phosphorus taken in the food benefits the brain in the slightest degree. Agassiz, the naturalist, who was informed by Dumas that iish was rich in phosphorus, came to what he thought was a legitimate conclusion when he promulgated the statement that fish was a “brain food.” It will thus be seen that this popular impres- sion, which has been repeated and copied countless numbers of times, is without foundation, and is yet another instance of thousands of people being misled through someone naving that little knowledge which is so danger- ous.—Sanitary Record. Ancient Injunction to Apprentices. No new thing is the servant prob- lem. Here is an injunction to ap- prentices issued by the English Court of Common Council in 1527: “You shall constantly and devoutly on your knees, every day, serve God, morning and evening, and endeavor the right practice thereof in your life and con- versation. You shall avoid all evil company; and make speedy return when you shall be sent on your mas- ter’s business. You shall be of fair, oe and lowly speech and behavior JOHN BECKFEL Grand Rapids, Minn.

It is derived from the Arabic ta rifa, measging an invertory of fees payable on demand, and is said to have be csme current in the following maa- ger: “A Moorish general, by name Tarifa, seized in the year 710 upon a 3mall seaport some twenty miles from what is now Gibrsltar, and the southernmost town in Europe. Here he founded a station for levying tol on all craft trading in the neighbor hood aad bestowed his name upon the place, after the manner of Constan- tine, Alexander and others.

One would be surprised to know the number of vegetarians there are in France, and some wiseacres think that is the way of solving the socias question. The regime is to take only two meals a day, of two dishes pe meal, consisting of a vegetable soup and a dish ef cereals or of fresh vege- tables, or else boiled or baked pota- toes with vegetable butter—whatever that is. A menu of that kind, includ- ing a pound of bread a day for each person, will cost 8 cents, and with- out the bread 6 cents. Finally, for 20 cents a day the following meal could be prepared for four persons: Bar- ley or oats soup, with a few carrots, a dish of potatoes, and beans. Danger in Stealing Crocodile Eggs. Jackals and hyenas are very fond of crocodile eggs. The former is the more successful poacher of the two. Natives of central Africa say that the jackal has sixteen eyes, with one of which he watches the eggs and with the fifteen others he looks out for the crocodile, The hyena, on the other eyes on the eggs, and so often falls a victim to the watchful crocodile in motionless hiding. The natives say, too, that the crocodile sometimes knocks its prey off the bank or off the canoe with its tail, and then seizes it with its wide-open jaws. Could Not Escape Proctor. Senator Proctor of Vermont, owner of extensive granite quarries, during some labor troubles at his place came in for not a little unfavorable com- ment among trades unionists, A group of granite cutters were earnest- ly discussing the senator's attitude. One of them, after listening to the heated conversation for some time, shook his arm dramatically and roared out: “Yes, boys, he owns us when we're alive, and he makes us pay for our tombstones when ‘we're dead.” National ity and Citizenship.
