What They Say When They sneese.

On the subject of Pacific islands folk.
lore, a correspondent writes to Note.
and Queries: When in Tonga-tabu
groups 1 was amused by a curious Gus.
tom the natives there have of saying,
when n sneezed, "Ofa," which means
love. I asked the reason for this, and
was told that when a man sneezed he
was thinking of his wife, and hat when
q woman did SO she was thinking Of
her husband; SO that they only consider
it a polite little attention to say s'ofa"
to n at those times. Here in Samoa
1 find a very different phrase in vogue
on similar occasions. and. on account
of its likeness in meaning to one still
used in England, of much greater inter-
est. Here when n sneezes they
say, "Soefua." whose meaning is. as
near as possible. "God bless you" 1t
is strange that in tive countries so far
apart As England and Samoa there
should be customs SO very much alike.

The King and the Miller.

Near Sans Souci. the favorite resi-.
dence of Frederick the Great. there was
a mill which much interfered with the
view from the palace. One day the
king sent 10 inquire what the owner
would take for the mill. and the unex.
pected reply came that the miller would
NOT sell it for any money. The king,
much incensed, gave orders that the
mill should be pulled down. The mil.
Ter made no resistance, but folding his
arms. quietly remarked. 1.-THE king
may do this, but there are laws in
Prussia" And he took legal proceed.
ings, the result of which was that the
king had to rebuild the mill and to pay
q good sum of money besides in COM
%pensation. Although his majesty was
chagrined at this end of the matter, he
put the best face he could upon it
and turning to his courtiers he re-
marked, II am glad to see that there
are just laws and upright judges in my
kingdom"
A sequel to this incident occurred
about forty years ago. A descendant
of the miller of whom we have just
been talking had come into possession
of the mill. After having struggled
for several years against ever-increas-
ing poverty, and being at length quite
unable to keep on his business, he
wrote to the present emperor of Ger
many (then only king of Prussia) re-
minding him of the incident we have
just related, and stating that If his mai
esty felt so disposed, he should be very
thankful, in his present difficulty, to
sell the mill. The king wrote the fol-
lowing reply with his w hand:
M DEAR N~EIGHBoR:-I cannot allow you
to sell the mill 1t must always be in your
possession as long as one membe of your
family exists, for It belongs to the history OF
Prussia 1 re greet, however, to hear you are
in such Strengthened circumstances, and there
fore send you herewith $4,000, in the hope that
1t may be Of some service in restoring your
fortunes. Consider me always your affection.

AS the result of appeals to President
Johnson while was in Washington in May, 1866,
he did for this, his native state, what he did for
no other Southern State. He authorized me TO
collect and sell all the cotton, rosin, wagons
horses, mules and indeed all the property which
had belonged to Governor Vancc's war depart
ment, and use the proceeds In the work of "restor

was then in process of confscaton by the General
Government as u confederate war road. Governor
Worth, who was treasurer, collected under my di-
rccion and sold the properly thus given by Presi-
dent johnson to the State at my request The
amount realized for 1t In cash was about one hun
dred and flty thousand dollars. This amount
with seven thousand five hundred dollars allowed
me by President johnson for office expenses, huf-
feed for oil State expenses for seven months. The

TIN. Pirst Amcricnn Dentist.

1t seems that Rhode Island had the
honor of starting in life the first American den
tst. As far us known the flrst dentist in this
country was Josiah Flagg. lie held majors
commission in the American army, and began to
practice dentistry at the close of the war in 1882
An officer under Count Rochambeau taught
Fagg while the two armies were quartcred in this
State in 1881. Later he practced In Boston, and
during the war Of 1912 he was taken prisoner to
England, and while on parole made the acquain-
tance of Sir Ashley Cooper, and worked with him
In Guys Hospital The second dentist IN this
country was James Gardette who came to this
country with the French feet In l77S, lie resigned
his commission ~ surgeon and settled in this
country When Rochambeau was in this State
Gardette served him professionally in Newport.
The third American dentist, although not nur.
tured on Rhode Island soil. may be mentioned
because he was third In the line and because he
was Washingtons dentist and further, because he
wore us u watch charm Washingtons last natural
tooth. G. Washington thought well enough ofthis
dentist TO write him letter. fl which he said that
he should prefer his services to all others II he had
occasion to call upon them.-Iroptdeice JouTndk

A RECOLLECTION,
The Assassination or lincoln and the

occasion to visit tho Old Capitol prison in Wash
ington, in February. 1869, TO witness the eShuma.
tion aud the rendition TO their respective relatives
and friends of the remains OF the consplrators In
the Lincoln assassination. President Johnson was
about to go ont of office, and he issued an order
permitting Christian burial TO the bodies of the
FIVE persons implicated in the death Of Lincoln
Booth, Mrs surratt, Atzerodt, Payne, and Herold.
They had been buried in ammunition boxes Of
common pine wood, six feet long, two feet wide,
aud two feet deep When the lid was lined from
Booths coffin his face was perfect, with the ox-
ception Of small hole about the size of
dime in each cheek. His hair was In as good con-
diton as he had just come out Of barbers shop.
In taking out the body to place 1t in handsome
rosewood coffin supplied by his mother, Mrs Booth,
of Baltimore, the head dropped of from the body.
Not so with Ms, Surratt, Her face aud form were
perfect, and she looked like one in happy, dream
less sleep. Her head adhered TO tho body in the
process of transfer. Payne's body was greatly
wasted, but Atzerodts was the worst of all for
when the army blanket that covered his remains
were lifted up II revealed q shapoless mass OF
blackencd bones and ashes, with a bald aud

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning Of disease is slight de-
bllity or disorder of some Of the vital or.
gans, the stomach, the liver or the bowels
usually, There dyspeptic symptoms, the
liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawney
and unhealthy looking, there are pains in
the right side or through the right shoulder
blade, The climax is often an utter pros
tration Of the physical energies, perhaps
fatal issue, But if the difficulty is met in
time with IIostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is always effective as remedy,
should be rcsorted to at an early stage,
there will be no reason to apprehcnd those
Injurious subsequent effects upon the system
often entailcd by entirely cured diseases.
Far better is it also, to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than quinlne
aud other potent drugs, which, even when
they do prove eilectal for time, ruin the
stomach and impair the general health.
