CircumVented.

a Quincy druggist was sitting be-
side the base-burner in his store star
ing sleepily at the rows of bottles OH
the shelves, and wondering why peo-
pie don't take more medicine, when
the door softly opened and an eight
year old urchin lodged in. Walking
up to the cOmpOunder of prescriptions,
H. said:
mister, amt there some kind of
stuff that you kin rub on that'll make
fellows skin as tough as an ele-
phant's?"
The druggist looked the boy over,
and replied:
"Yes, the oil Of tannin will harden
the skin, if that's what you mean."
That's the trick I'm playin' fur ex-
actly. Gimme ten cents worth"
While putting it up the druggist
asked:
"What do you want to harden your
hands for? Going to the country to
husk cOrn?"
"Husk nothin', an my hans is as
tuf as rawhide now. I'm just work
in up little scheme to circumvent
the old woman's slipper. 1 tried a
layer o ole leather, but she tumbled to

stuff does its duty, 1 think I've got the
bulge on her, right from the word go.
How long does it take such lie rs this
to put on n pad thick enough to knock
the fire out of an average spankin'?"
When the desired information was
given him, he trotted off down the
street singing: "If at first you don't

Sugar.

Sugar is Of moGern use only. The
ancients were unacquainted with it as
an article Of commerce or of common
use. What revolution in our house
hold affairs would it occasion, to strike
sugar from the list of dietary articles
Ii is a necessity, not luxury. With
in the last four hundred years, it has
grown from being an article of curios-
ity or luxury to be one of the great
staples of commerce, 1t enters every
department of domestic economy. Hum
bOldt says that in China il was known
and used in ancient times: but if known
ut all in Western Asia or Europe. till
within the last few centuries, il was
only as travellers brought it as remem-
brances of foreign climes and distant
travel. There is some foundation for
the idea that it was not entirely I'M
known to the ancient Greeks. We find
in the classic mention made of honey
that bees did not make, and honey
from reeds-the sugar-cane being a
reed. From their expressions it is
thought that sugar is meant. as all
sweet articles were included i'm the
term honey i'm early days. Pliny SAYS
there is kind of honey from reeds
that is like gum, and it is used rs n
medicine. Some illusions i'm the Bible
seem to refer to sugar and honey. In
later times it is said that the Crusaders
found sweet hOneyed canes growing
in the meadows of Tripoli; that they
sucked these canes and were delighted
with the operation; that these canes
were cultivated with great care, and,
when ripe, were pounded in mortars.
and the juice was strained and dried TO
a solid, like salt; that, mixed with
bread. it was more pleasant than honey.
In 1920, the Portuguese brought the
cane to Spain, Madeira. and thence it
was carried to the West Indies and
Brazil In these countries it found
the conditions for its rapid develop
ment, aud the world was soon furnish
eel with the products of the countries
so that sugar assumed place among
the chief articles of commerce.

An Eccentric NohIeman.

Says the London Telegraph: One of
the wealthiest and most eccentric no
blemen in Europe, Prince Joseph Sui
kowsH, Duke of Bielitz, arrived at
Copenhagen a short time ago, on his
way to Norway, where he proposes to
spend the season in bear hunting. He
was accompanied by a numerous suit,
consisting of highly salaried lady CON-
panion, n maitre de chapelle, a reader.
a body surgeon, valet de chambre.
two running footmen, an enormous
mastiff, huge ourang-outang, two vol
uble parrots, and several cagefuls of
singing birds. One favorite member of
his household, a Bengal tiger, he had
been compelled to leave behind him at
Hamburg, rs the steamboat authori-
ties respectfully but positively declined
to convey that princely retainer across
the seas. Prince Sulkowski's personal
habits, as described in letter from
Copenhagen, are somewhat out of the
common. He rises at l p. m, break
fasts an hour later, and listens to mu-
steal selections performed by the men,
bers of his household until seven.
From seven to eight he takes a nan.
which is followed by more chamber
music until i a. m, his regular dinner
hour. Having dined sumptuous-
ly. he sallies out on foot, accompanied
by his secretary, and walks about the
town until seven, when he returns to
his hotel and goes to bed.

Begin at Home.

Why do you begin to do good so far
off? This is ruling error. Begin at
the centre and work outward. If you
do not love your wife, do not pretend
to such love for the people of the an
tipodes. If you let some family grudge,
some peccadillo, some undesirable ges-
ture, sour your visage toward sister
or daughter, pray cease to teach benifi-
cence on large scale. Begin not at
the next door, but within your own
dOor-then with your next neighbor,
whether relative, servant or superior.
Account the man you meet, the man
you are to bless. Give him such things
as you have. "How can 1 make him or
her happier?" That is the question.
If dollar will do it, give the dollar.
If advice will do it, give advice. If a
look, smile, or a warm pressure of
the hand, or tear, will do it, give the
look, smile, hand or tear. But never
forget that the happiness of our world
is mountain of golden sands, and that
it is your part to cast some contributory
atom every moment.

The Cause of Oroughts.

The question is often asked why
droughts are more common latterly than
in former yeats. The main reason, we
cOncede, however, to be because the for
eSts have been cut down. The effects
of forests upon the atmosphere aIetwo-
fold. They fill the air with dampn ess,
and again this dampness, when it is
condensed into clouds, is attracted by
the forests. The roots of trees run
deep into the ground and absorb the
moisture that is contained in it a con.
siderable depth below the surface
This moisture, much of it at least, is
evaporated by the leaves, and thus the
air is loaded with water. The amount
of water that is drawn up from the
strata of the earth lower down than the
roots of ordinary cultivated plants
penetrate is enormous. This water il
not drawn up by the roots of trees
would gradually make its way into
creeks and rivers, and ultimately into
the ocean. Cutting down the forests
has two other effects, both of which re.
suit in decreasing the amount of rain.
Dry and parching winds are unimpe-
ded IL their progress, and the result is
that they carry off the moisture which
is in the atmosphere. Another result
Is that small streams of water have in
many instances been entirely annihi-
lated, exceptd uring the winter months.
his has decreased the volume of wa
ter IL the creeks and rivers, and con-
sequently decreased the attractive force
for the clouds and the amount of water
evaporated from the surface of the
earth.

a Peculiar Locomotive.

The New York Tribune speaks of a
locomotive which is expected to make
ninety miles an hour that has Just
been completed in Patterson, New Jer-
sey.
The dTiving-wheel rests on another
wheel, which in turn rests upon the
track. This lower wheel has two rims.
one foot smaller than the ether. The
outer rim touches the track and the
inner or smaller rim supports the driv-
ing-wheel. The motion of the driving
wheel thus communicated is magnified
by this arrangement in that the lower
wheel turns One-third faster than the
driving-wheel, and so the speed is in
creased.
The smaller rim of the lower wheel
bears to the larger rim a relation simil-
ar to that Of very large hub to any
wheel. OF course any rate of motion
communicated to such hub is greatly
magnified at the periphery of the
wheel. In the same way the motion
of the driving-wheel in this case is
magnitied by the peculiar arrangement
of the wheel it rests upon. The inven-
tor believes that this locomotive. il II
were not for the increased resistance
of the air, could be run at the rate of
10Y miles an hour. He expects it to
make ninety miles an hour, easily.

Uncle Tins Cat.

In introducing Uncle Tim. Smith,
allow me to say that no man in West
ern Oxford, Maine, was better known
in his day. He was an honest, poor,
handwriting man; and his only fail
ing-if failing it could be called-was
the telling of "big stories" / am sure,
however, that in that one respect his
memory had become 50 warped, that he
religiously believed his wonderful rela-
tions to be true. He was the first man
to put a spade into the soil of the first
and only farm 1 ever owned; and
thereafter he did much work for me.
Talking about CATS" said Uncle
Tim, puts me in mind of a cat once

She was a Mal-tee-one't l got of

cellar that was awful. 1 lit a candle

They run up onto me; and they run
over me. L jumped back onto the
stairs and called the cat. She came
down and looked. guess she sot there
ten minutes, lookin' at them rats; and
l was waitin' to see what she would do.
By'm by, she shook her head, and turn

mt care to tackle 'em.
THAT night, 1 tell We, there wasn't
much sleep. In the mornin' L called
for the cat and couldn't find her. She'd
gone. l guessed the rats had frighten-
